The solid gameplay offered in Capcom franchises keep hardcore virtual combatants coming back for more. But there is one thing that draws us in besides the physics engines and collision detection. It's the female fighters.
That's why we've compiled a list of the sexiest female characters from Capcom fighters. Sure the pickings were slim when women first entered the Capcom fighting scene back in Street Fighter II, but since then female characters have had a huge impact on Capcom fighting titles."
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
Ha! I always thought Lilith was just an alternate costume for Morrigan. I never played an actual Darkstalkers title though. *blush*
Well played...
Although many people hate her and she's new, I would add Sheva (tribal costume) as an honorable mention.
The girls of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 are beautiful and talented too.
