Via the top secret, highly advanced technique of ripping sprites out of roms, we've created a timeline showing off our heroes' evolution. Using this chart, you can pick apart the tiniest differences, such as that the position of their right hands is about the same in Street Fighter II and SVC Chaos, but nowhere else. Now we're fanboys!

First???
The arcade version of this is amazing, i've gotten the chance to play it
at an arcade in china town and my friends grandpa owns it so i got free tokens and played it forever. SF never seems to end its reign of ass kicking.

Not that anyone will really care too much, but, just to keep this retrospective a bit more clear, Ken Masters was never an actor, he is a world famous martial arts tournament champion in america (multiple times over even) and his father is the third richest man in the world (in the SF world anyway).
