This is what makes a legend most. Street Fighter enjoys consistent success, year after year, despite challenges from leagues of clones and derivatives. Time is also a savage enemy which degrades interest and plots new venues for the collective to enjoy. It would be safe to say that Street Fighter has reached a level where it is ingrained into the popular culture and any future iterations will be sought after and appreciated. Barbie enjoys this level of success in the States. In Japan, Doraemon rules. Street Fighter is an annual event now and the DC reprises the SSF2X game, originally from 1994, in a souped up internet capable version. Online challengers may now pit themselves against a sea of wired fighters and bout it out to determine who's the greatest.
