Reception
GameSpot criticized the game's translated plotline of introducing Ken as a cyborg twenty-five years in the future of the original Street Fighter, comparing it to the character alterations done for the live action Street Fighter film. 1UP.com described the game as a "bastard offshoot" of the franchise, further calling it a "nightmare of terrible localization". ScrewAttack stated that while the game was incredibly difficult, it was not bad by any means, and that if the game had not been marketed as a Street Fighter title, it most likely would have been ignored. The book Video Game Bible called the game very difficult due to both its design and unresponsive controls, adding whoever devised the concept of Ken in a side-scrolling game "is probably digging ditches somewhere in the bowels of Tokyo at this point".
