What Street Fighter IV is
Street Fighter IV is a fighting game developed by Dimps and released in 2008. It was published by Capcom. It is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Android, Arcade, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Taito Type X.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Street Fighter IV takes place several months after the events of Street Fighter II (thus is chronologically set between Street Fighter II and III). After M. Bison's survival following his encounter with Akuma, the S.I.N. corporation began another fighting tournament in order to draw out the most powerful fighters on Earth to complete the BLECE project. Each character has their own reasons for entering this tournament, but S.I.N.'s real desire is to lure Ryu to them in order to analyze the Satsui no Hadō, believed to be the last piece of data needed to complete BLECE.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action. It supports multiplayer for up to 2 players online. Local play supports 2 players. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz and up, 1 GB RAM and DirectX 9.0c/Shader3.0 and up supported (operation on-board is not guaranteed). At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
