Clarity and additional information is important, the fact that he asked about what character I did it with implies he doesn't know about the lack of a character select.

What's odd to me any way, that even though SF1 gets a bad rap as a well bad game, I did enjoy it. Yeah its no SFII and later fighting games, and the controls are wocky, but the graphics for the time were top notice. Mt Rushmore, the Slums of London, ete, they all look great. I really think SF1 is a underrated gem imo. And I do enjoy playing the hell out of it lol. One time I spend a whole month playing nothing but SF1 lol. During that period, some one would say hey lets play Mortal Kombat or SF2, or even the top fighting game in 2005? And I am like, no I am good.
I had pick up the Capcom classics collection for the ps2(Year I forgot) and I never played SF1. So I played it, got hook on it for a month. by day 2, I was beating the game almost undefeated and was able to get Ryu's moves off at a pretty consistent level. Saget and Adon were always 50 50 battles one way or the other. To this day, I hold the first SF1 game at a every high regard to what it tried to do. It was a pretty big jump from the top fighting game of past eras like Karate champ, to this. You can see the foundation of what would be SF2 in this game, but it was not there yet. |

I picked up the SF Collection on XBox One a while back and played all of them for a while, but I mostly skipped over the first Street Fighter. I was curious because I'd never played it before, but I didn't really have the patience for it. I played each of the others for a couple of hours but I only spent a few minutes on the first one. I just wasn't having fun. I was surprised at how much better everything else in the set was. I was never very good at SF back then, and I'm still not great or even good, but I was at least able to beat all of the games in the set except the first one.
Maybe one day I'll specifically make it a point to finish it just for the sake of completion, but I'm not in much of a hurry.

It did a lot for a fighting games (introduced 6-button control scheme and special moves), but gem it is not. Even without comparing it to SF2, it is just not a good game when it comes to execution of its ideas.
Graphics are nice, though. And music is listenable, even if generic. I thought about buying SF Anniversary collection for PC, but I've heard a lot of bad things about it (problems with online, lack of additional versions of certain games), so I decided not to do it. Besides, it's quite expensive in Russia. Mortal Kombat 11 at the launch was cheaper than this collection. |

I eventually found an arcade game... I think it was called "Fighting Street." It even had Ken in it, but it was a side-scrolling beat'em up. I convinced myself that was the real Street Fighter 1.

It was in arcades around '87, '88. I remember playing it there, but it didn't make any sense - the whole controller input style was a new thing and wasn't broadcasted very well. I remember giving up on it quickly, but playing another game next to it intensely - it was called "Vigilante". Vigilante was the first arcade game I ever beat in an actual arcade.

It got to the point, where I was even thinking that Street Fighter 2 was the first game in the series. In comparison, despite never playing Mortal Kombat 1, I knew about its existence and saw carts with it in shops. |

Eventually the mystery my dad gave me Street Fighter 1... for PC. It was on a single 3.5" diskette. It was actually pretty playable for what it was.

Oh God, I don't know. I don't even remember that there would've been variation. I just remember not really understanding the point as a kid, and it took me a minute to figure out why you couldn't turn your character around to face the other direction! LOL! I definitely didn't even realize there was a "dragon punch" or "joystick sweeping" as command inputs at the time. It wasn't until I learned about Street Fighter II that I really came to understand the actual nature of a one on one, screen locked fighting game.

But I more or less look at it in the time period, and not really what came later. |

SF1 has a lot more problems than just awkward execution of specials.
There are also wonky hitboxes and lack of animations, which make characters "dash" and attack at very odd moments. And horrible physics too. It is kind of fun, because, SF1 has all elements of a modern fighting game, but all of them are executed horribly. And it was not because of the age - spiritual successors for this game, made by the same people, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, has all the same problems, and they have been released after SF2. |

Hey, does anyone remember a fighting game that came out around the early 90s? I think it was just for PC. The main bad guy had a great big mouth with teeth in his belly.

I don't recall too many PC fighting games.... maybe Karateka? I never beat it so I don't know what the boss looked like.

Maybe you're thinking of Final Fight? It gives you the option of either playing the blond character Cody or the red gi wearing Guy, both of whom I suspect could be mistaken for Ken. I wouldn't blame you for conflating it with Street Fighter I, Capcom even does it intentionally for the SFI Arcade mode in SFV (though that might just be bacause SFV only has four SFI characters). |

Final Fight and Street Fighter are set in the same universe. In fact, first FF was supposed to be a sequel to the Street Fighter 1 and was called "Street Fighter '89", until someone at Capcom saw that games has nothing to do with each other. There was also a game on NES called Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight. But it was a platformer not a fighting game, though. Surprisingly it is kind of canon, as of Street Fighter V. |
