Street Fighter II was not immediately successful in Japan, as most arcade players were initially playing it solo, rather than multiplayer as originally intended. Yoshiki Okamoto was disappointed with its initial performance, and was told he should have produced another solo beat 'em up like Final Fight instead. After Japanese arcade magazine Gamest began publishing articles informing readers about the "battle play" feature, the game began gaining considerable popularity in Japanese arcades. [18] In Japan, Game Machine magazine listed the game on their April 1, 1991 issue as being the second most-successful table arcade cabinet of the month, outperforming games such as Detana!! TwinBee and King of the Monsters, [40] before Street Fighter II topped the charts two weeks later. [41] It went on to become the highest-grossing arcade game of 1991 in Japan, [42] [43] and then it again became the highest-grossing arcade game of 1992. [44] [2] Street Fighter II Turbo became the highest-grossing arcade game of 1993, with Street Fighter II Dash ( Champion Edition) at number four and The World Warrior at number nine.

The original Street Fighter II allowed up to 10 rounds per match; this maximum is reduced to four rounds starting with Champion Edition. If there is no clear winner by the end of the final round, either the computer-controlled opponent will win by default in a single-player match or both fighters will lose in a two-player match. After every third match in the single-player mode, a bonus stage gives a chance to earn additional points by smashing a car, wooden barrels, or metal oil drums. After each match, the location for the next one is selected on a world map. The game popularized the concept of "face-to-face", tournament-level competition between two players [225] instead of just high scores. [225] This enabled the competitive multiplayer and deathmatch modes found in modern action games. [227] John Romero, for example, cited the competitive multiplayer of Street Fighter II as an influence on the deathmatch mode of seminal first-person shooter Doom.

The quality of animation benefited from the developers' use of the CPS-1 hardware, with advantages including allowing different characters to occupy different amounts of memory. For example, Ryu can occupy 8 megabits and Zangief 12megabits. [20] Tokyo Business Today. Toyo Keizai Shinposha (The Oriental Economist). 1993. p.38.
