Street Fighter: The World Warrior


Street Fighter is a series which was created by Capcom and has been around for 25 years. It has spawned numerous sequels and spin-offs, as well as branch out and encompassing other storylines (and crossover with other company properties such as Marvel's superheroes, SNK's King of Fighters, Namco's Tekken series, and japanese anime). An RPG was developed by White Wolf which allowed you to play as a World Warrior, a fighter immersed in the world of mixed martial arts and of course crossing paths with the mysterious organization of Shadoloo. You could either create a unique fighter, or play as one of the many iconic Street Fighter II or pre-generated characters available.

The rules systems, was even a precursor for White Wolf's own World of Darkness fighting system called "Comabat: The Big Book of Kicking Ass" which in a sense was a parody of the Capcom property of Darkstalkers. You could easily create crossover between the World of Darkness and Street Fighter if you wished.

During the Golden Age of third Edition, Living Room Games was attempting to develop a whole line of source books for a Street Fighter World Tournament that would encompass the worlds of Street Fighter, Final Fight, Rival Schools, and Darkstalkers. Sadly though there was an undisclosed dispute between Capcom and Living Room Games and the gaming systems vaporized.
