With the release of Capcom's Street Fighter 6 beta, it's worth looking back at the game that launched the series—Street Fighter 2 The World Warrior. It emerged at a time when the Cold War had come to a close and the USA appeared to be the “only superpower” left standing. Formerly communist countries were turning capitalist, one by one.

On this Deep Thoughts While Gaming, we look at how the Street Fighter series was inspired by, or perhaps inspired Globalization and the neoliberal movement.
