Just finished Here Comes a New Challenger on Tubi. A fantastic watch. Dives into the game's evolution, the history of Street Fighter as a piece of pop culture and its place on the Mount Rushmore of Arcade Games. Would highly recommend! Great work by Director @oliverharper.bsky.social

This should get the attention @oliverharper.bsky.social, as he was very critical of the Superman 4K set in these regards.
