It was also released on the TurboGrafx CD console under the title Fighting Street.
There were two different arcade cabinets were sold for the game: a Regular version (which was sold as a tabletop cabinet in Japan and as an upright overseas that featured the same six button configuration later used in Street Fighter II and a Deluxe cabinet that features two-pressure sensitive pads. The pressure-sensitive pads determine the strength and speed of the player's attacks based on how hard they were pressed.
In the international versions of the game, Ryu's and Ken's voices were dubbed so that they yelled the names of their moves in English (i.e: Ball of Fire, Dragon Punch, Hurricane Kick). The localizations of the subsequent games left the characters' voices in their original Japanese language.
The original Street Fighter features a cast of twelve fighters: two playable characters and ten CPU-controlled opponents. Of these characters, only Ryu, Ken, Balrog (aka M. Bison) and Sagat would return in the game's immediate sequel Street Fighter II, although characters like Birdie, Adon, and Gen would resurface in the Street Fighter Alpha series.
Unlike the subsequent Street Fighter games, the player cannot choose his or her own character. Instead, the first player is assigned to play as Ryu, while a second player can join in and play as Ken in competitive matches. Both characters sported all of their famous moves, however, given the strict timing, they were much harder to pull off then they would be in future games.

Overview
Street Fighter is a 1987 arcade game developed by Capcom. It is the first competitive fighting game produced by the company and the inaugural game in the Street Fighter series. While it did not achieve the same popularity as its sequels (particularly Street Fighter II) when it was first released, the original Street Fighter introduced some of the conventions made standard in later games, such as six attack buttons (only found on some versions of the game) and special command based techniques.It was also released on the TurboGrafx CD console under the title Fighting Street.

Gameplay
The game begins with the player being prompted to choose one of two destinations (or four, depending on the DIP switch settings) as the setting of their first fight. There are four countries to choose from: the US, Japan, England and China. Once a country has been selected, the player must fight against the nation's two fighters in best two-out-of-three matches. Once the player has defeated both of the nation's fighters, they must go through a bonus round before proceeding to the next destination. Once all four countries have been cleared, the player character travels to Thailand for the last two opponents in the game. There are two types of bonus rounds in the game: one in which the player must break wooden boards held by three or four men (depending on the progress) and another in which the player character must break a set of stacked roof tiles with proper timing.The original Street Fighter features a cast of twelve fighters: two playable characters and ten CPU-controlled opponents.
