Details: Street Fighter started life in 1987 as an arcade 'beat-em-up' but it wasn't until the release of Street Fighter II in 1991 that the line really took off.

With this popularity, Japan saw the release of Street Fighter II keshi. The line was released in various parts (series) and included many characters. If a character was repeated from a previous line, they would assume a new pose, in one of their signature moves from the games.
