* BloodierAndGorier: Despite its short duration, boy, does it escalate the blood in comparison to its source material. As expected, some one on one fights do result in bloodied noses and visible scars (like Balrog vs. Ken at the end of issue #1). However, starting in issue #2, Mr. Bison breaks a subordinate's neck on panel; Sagat defeats Ken and delivers his bloodied scalp to Ryu; in issue #3, Blanka is mocked by two guys and, in retalation, goes bezerk and tears out one guy's face.

** Everywhere, especially with the kids who star in Ken's soda commercial, as well as how poor perspective issues make it look like fireballs are being thrown upward at an angle and landing at their intended target.
** Still in that soda commercial: when Ken has a disgusted look in his face, you'd think they drew him to look just like Creator/RobinWilliams for that frame. From there you can have an idea of the art level...

These comics were also published in Brazil, but after the series ended, the publisher decided to carry on with local artists while continuing the numbering, by adapting ''Super Street Fighter II'' instead. Issues 4 and 5, Marcelo Cassaro tried to pick up the slack, with stories alluding to the American comics' events but already straying from the canon they established in Fei Long and Cammy's introductions. From issue 6 onwards, new editor Alexandre Nagado decided to throw everything Malibu had done to the license away and start anew, with Ken being alive and well, characterizations closer to the games and a TournamentArc based on SSFII in the first three issues. This series then followed through with a few multi-issue stories, going through a ScheduleSlip until it stopped publishing with issue 20, with an AbortedArc centered around Akuma that ended in a cliffhanger. Elements from the anime ''Anime/StreetFighterIIV'' and ''Film/StreetFighter'' were also used. In 1998, Marcelo Cassaro obtained the license of Street Fighter, publishing the Brazilian version of ''TabletopGame/StreetFighterTheStorytellingGame'' and a {{Animesque}} adaptation of Street Fighter Zero 3 drawining by Erica Awano, who also illustrated ''ComicBook/NovasAventurasdeMegaMan'' and ''ComicBook/HolyAvenger''.

Created by Malibu Comics, the company behind ''ComicBook/TheUltraverse'', ''Street Fighter'' is a 3 issue [[ComicBookAdaptation comic book series that was adapted]] from the Creator/{{Capcom}} [[FightingGame fighting game]] series, ''Franchise/StreetFighter''.

The comic debuted in 1993, when the ''Street Fighter'' storyline was nothing more than an ExcusePlot [[AllThereInTheManual tucked away in the instruction manual]] of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''. Despite this, Malibu chose not to use most of it and instead made their own story only keeping certain details. These changes included making Ryu and Chun-Li training partners and a romantic couple, having Ken retire from fighting, becoming Ryu's manager as well as a TV star and [[DeathByAdaptation getting killed and scalped]] in the second issue. Due to these changes, Capcom themselves pulled the plug on the series after three issues.

These comics were also published in Brazil, but after the series ended, the publisher decided to carry on with local artists while continuing the numbering, by adapting ''Super Street Fighter II'' instead. Issues 4 and 5, Marcelo Cassaro tried to pick up the slack, with stories alluding to the American comics' events but already straying from the canon they established in Fei Long and Cammy's introductions. From issue 6 onwards, new editor Alexandre Nagado decided to throw everything Malibu had done to the license away and start anew, with Ken being alive and well, characterizations closer to the games and a TournamentArc based on SSFII in the first three issues. This series then followed through with a few multi-issue stories, going through a ScheduleSlip until it stopped publishing with issue 20, with an AbortedArc centered around Akuma that ended in a cliffhanger. Elements from the anime ''Anime/StreetFighterIIV'' and ''Film/StreetFighter'' were also used. In 1998, Marcelo Cassaro obtained the license of Street Fighter, publishing the Brazilian version of ''TabletopGame/StreetFighterTheStorytellingGame'' and a {{Animesque}} adaptation of Street Fighter Zero 3 drawining by Erica Awano, who also illustrated ''ComicBook/NovasAventurasdeMegaMan'' and ''ComicBook/HolyAvenger''.

Not to be mistaken for the [[ComicBook/StreetFighter The UDON Comic]].
----
!!The series provides the following tropes:
* AdaptationalJerkass: Ryu, infamously so. He’s a [[HeManWomanHater misogynistic]] and overall unpleasant guy compared to his NiceGuy counterpart in most other media.
* AscendedMeme: [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Sheng Long]] being the name of Ryu and Ken's master. Sheng Long is actually another way of saying {{Shoryuken}}[[note]](it's the Chinese reading of the ''shouryuu'', "Rising Dragon")[[/note]] or the Dragon Punch.
* BarBrawl: Guile gets into one after a dork has the [[SarcasmMode brilliant idea]] of spilling beer on his hair. Despite being vastly outnumbered, [[ConservationOfNinjutsu he kicks every single one of their arses.]] And destroys the bar itself afterwards.
* BigNo: Ryu [[spoiler: after opening a box and finding Ken's bloody scalp, hinting he was killed]].
-->'''Ryu:''' KEN! MY OLDEST FRIEND!! '''NOOOO!!!'''
* CanonForeigner: Nida.
* CatchPhrase: After a fashion. Some of the characters always find a way to use their in-game win quotes in their dialogue. Within the comic only, Vega says his ''twice''.
* ComicBookAdaptation
* CompressedHair: Chun-Li, whose hair is waist long wrapped in little hair buns.
* ContinuityNod: Despite a few inconsistencies with the source material, the comics follow certain parts of the game's canon:
** Chun-Li being an Interpol agent and wanting revenge on Bison for killing her father.
** Ryu's full devotion to training.
** Sagat getting his scar from Ryu's Shoryuken.
* CrossOver: Issue #3 has E. Honda fight one of Malibu's own superheroes, The Ferret. Honda hands his ass to him in a platter, which should say a lot.
* CutShort: It was canceled at the third issue, with letters from the writers detailing their plans if it had continued.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Ken Masters.]]
* EvilKnockoff: According to WordOfGod, M. Bison's ultimate plan was to replace the world's fighters with these. Furthermore, it was hinted the Balrog, Vega and Sagat we saw were also evil clones.
* {{Fireballs}}: The famous [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]] and Sagat's Tiger Shot, which now appears to literally be made of fire as opposed to energy, although it is called a fireball in the game community as well.
* HeManWomanHater: Ryu who will take no insults from a mere woman, even if it's the strongest woman in the world.
* IceCreamKoan:
--> (Ryu to Chun-Li) "Once you were like this stream... laughing, flowing around life. Now you are like this tree--strong, flexible... but yet rooted in your obsession."
* {{Jerkass}}: [[AdaptationalJerkass Ryu]] is a misogynistic bastard who treats Chun-Li like crap and looks down on Ken just because he retired from fighting.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Ken is killed by Balrog and Sagat. They mail his bloody scalp to Ryu.]]
* NotQuiteDead: Had the series continued, [[spoiler:Ken would have been revealed to be alive]].
* OffModel:
** Everywhere, especially with the kids who star in Ken's soda commercial, as well as how poor perspective issues make it look like fireballs are being thrown upward at an angle and landing at their intended target.
** Still in that soda commercial: when Ken has a disgusted look in his face, you'd think they drew him to look just like Creator/RobinWilliams for that frame. From there you can have an idea of the art level...
* ShoutOut: Ferret reading a newspaper article about [[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar's]] [[VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters wrestling comeback]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The comic spelled Blanka's name Blan'''c'''a.
* TokenMinorityCouple: Ryu and Chun-Li. It's mostly Type A because at the time, Chun-Li was the only prominent female character in the series.
