Street Fighter Alpha

You pick a character like Ryu or Chun-Li and face off against a single opponent. The controls are basic: you punch, kick, and move back and forth. You can perform special moves, like a Hadouken fireball or a spinning bird kick, with simple directional inputs. The main goal is to deplete your opponent's health bar before they deplete yours. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike quickly, especially against the final computer opponent. It feels responsive and immediate, a quick dose of fighting game action in a few minutes.
