It’s been ten years since Capcom released its last bona-fide entry in the seminal Street Fighter series. Street Fighter III: Third Strike – while an exemplary technical fighter – alienated all but the most intransigent gamers. Its brutally unforgiving fighting engine, particularly its renowned parry system required timing of utmost precision, and proved to be a notable barrier of entry …
