Tribute to Street Fighter: 25 tahun Nge-game!

Tidak terasa kalau Seri game pertarungan Street Fighter besutan Capcom tahun 2012 ini sudah berusia ke-25 tahun. Saya mengenal game ini di masa cerita dewasa anak SMP. Dimulai dari game di Nintendo Entertainment System lalu (kalau tidak salah) ada komiknya terus sekarang anak lelaki saya juga memainkan game ini di Sony PlayStation 3. Sebuah pencapaian dan perjalanan panjang yang sulit ditandingi judul game lainnya.


Seri Street Fighter pertama kali menghadirkan Ryu sebagai tokoh utama yang berkelana untuk mengikuti kompetisi di berbagai penjuru dunia dan melawan sepuluh petarung lainnya. Ryu mempunyai jurus andalan yang masih ada hingga kini yakni hadouken atau bola api, shoryuken atau uppercut, hingga tatsumaki senpuukyaku atau tendangan berputar.

Pada bulan Agustus 2012, Street Fighter ini memasuki usia ke-25 tahun. Beberapa situs fans game ini sudah merilis sendiri logo spesial untuk menyambut ulang tahun tersebut. Katanya, Capcom bakal merilis berbagai merchandise untuk memeringati momen istimewa ini.

Sekedar mengingatkan, kita lihat beberapa karakter dalam game ini. Siapa tokoh andalan anda? Silahkan dipilih ...
