Street Fighter made its debut in the arcades in 1987. It was designed by Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto. The player took control of lone martial artist Ryu, who competed in a worldwide martial arts tournament, spanning five countries and ten opponents. A second player could join in at any time and take control of Ryu’s rival, Ken.

You the player could perform 3 types of kick attacks and punches. The our favorite special attacks, Ball Of Fire, Dragon Punch and Hurricane kick. Only if you new how to perform them by pushing buttons in a certain order.
 
I know that the first only had two playable characters Ryu an Ken but the legacy this game started is a wonderful thing.
 I love the story of Ryu and Ken, They trained at the same Dojo in the mountains. Starting at a young age the grew up as sparring partners. Ken the more cocky and outspoken one and Ryu the quiet and reserved. Which made them perfect partners as if true yin and yang  paired them.

When they grew up and finished their training they went separate ways. Ryu took the long walk and just went the way the wind blew him and Ken, he took his fighting skills to the main screen he was a somewhat actor, in and out stunt double per-say.

I watch many of the cartoons of Street Fighter and this is how I see  Ken & Ryu are portrayed….
