Many
mobile gamers around the world have owned an Android smartphone or tablet
computer and they would feel delightful to learn that they can enjoy playing
one of their favorite fighting games on their mobile device, and that would be
Street Fighter IV Champion Edition. Although the original feels outdated from
the popular franchise's latest iteration, it is good for us to know that there
is a legitimate Street Fighter game which can we really consider it as our own.
In
fact, Street Fighter IV Champion Edition on Android is more than just our own
satisfaction for it can be the definitive fighting game for mobile devices that
we are clamoring for. The game was initially available on iOS a few years ago,
but it was marred by various issues such as lack of playable characters. The game's
developers have addressed the issue as the Android version has 32 characters
including the DLC ones from the home console versions and the extras from the arcade
edition.

Gameplay-wise,
Street Fighter IV is a hit and miss. The control style will remind anyone of an
arcade game's built-in control system but it is in the style of capacitive multitouch
controls. One big plus for me is the dedicated Super button which can be used
to create masterful super moves for your preferred character, but you need to
move the sensitive analog stick with your own left thumb to perform such moves.
This could be a hindrance to what you can expect from a mobile fighting game,
but it depends on what you think and how to master.
