Street Fighter is an animated television series produced by InVision Entertainment based on the Street Fighter video game franchise by Capcom. The series aired as part of the USA Network's Cartoon Express and Action Extreme Team lineups. It lasted two 13-episode seasons which aired from 1995 to 1997, for a total of 26 episodes. The show is closely based on the Street Fighter II series, but also borrows plot elements and characters from the live-action Street Fighter film and the first two Street Fighter Alpha games.
Colonel William F. Guile is the leader of the "Street Fighters", an international undercover peacekeeping force composed of martial artists from around the world. They often face off against the ruthless General Bison and his Shadaloo criminal empire. They follow a code of honor involving the keywords "discipline", "justice" and "commitment".
All 17 fighters from Super Street Fighter II Turbo, along with Captain Sawada from the live-action movie, appeared in some form throughout the entire series, with Guile, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Ken and Cammy serving as the show's primary characters. Since the arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams was only recently released when the show began airing, most of the new fighters that were introduced in that game only make a cameo in one episode ("The Medium is the Message") during the first season. The second season (which aired after the release of Street Fighter Alpha 2) would feature the Alpha roster more prominently, with characters such as Rose and Sakura being the focus of certain episodes, while another episode would adapt the plot of Final Fight (since Guy and Sodom have already appeared as playable fighters in the first two Alpha games, along with Rolento in Alpha 2). Some non-playable characters from the games were also featured in the show such as Cammy's Delta Red compatriots (although they are given different character designs and names) and Gouken. In contrast, Guile's wife and daughter from the games (Jane and Amy) were omitted in favor of giving him a new love interest in the form of his ex-fiancee Cindy.
