The debate over the golden era of fighting games is ongoing. Was it the '90s with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s with the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s with the dominance of games like Tekken? Regardless of when it was, there's little doubt that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing the genre.
