Via their Neo-Geo MVS arcade system (and AES home console), SNK jumped on Street Fighter’s coat-tails with World Heroes, which, to be honest, is almost a direct ripoff – even the two main characters Hanzo and Fuuma controlled in an identical way to Ryu and Ken of Street Fighter fame. Arguably the largest contributor to the “ Street Fighter clone" market was SNK. Okay, the one-on-one fighting game had already been around for a fair while but with its multiple punch and kick buttons, super moves and large range of characters, Capcom’s flagship arcade game redefined the genre and spawned a relentless swarm of clones. In 1991, a game named Street Fighter II came along and it started off a whole new genre.
