Street Fighter ll was the best thought out game of all time. All characters have memorable moves, memorable themes, memorable scenarios.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

I was just thinking this too recently. The fact that a game that basically started getting conceptualized in the 80s STILL has solid mechanics, graphics, music etc in 2023 is insane. Street Fighter 2 seriously has a case for being the greatest video game in history.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

​@@chiarosuburekeni9325 It's not about that point. All other fgs that had strong roots and still follow them are very solid today. It's a matter of repetition. And while I'm at that: SF's bigger popularity has nothing to do with those mechanics being superior to other fgs, which just isn't true. The main matter here is that SF2 was the early fg with the best original base mechanics. Combined with great presentation, music and roster. It's an early fg that got so many ideas extremely well thought AND well executed. When we see much more complex games that also are very well executed since the early titles like Guilty Gear, but this franchise is literally 10 years late than SF. Even though it's still worth of praise but it's not as much impressive because it takes advantage of many references invented by SF. That's the point. The timing and the influence of all those early ideas.

[@mechanomics2649]

I wouldn't go so far as to say "game" of all time, "fighting game" of all time works.

[@Grasstoucher3]

​@@mechanomics2649 yeah I would say street fighter 3 third strike could be considered one of the best games of all time in general. But sf2 NAHHH not best games but maybe best fighting games

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Ride Horse USD SGD

[@davidwhatsthatabout7404]

I like the street fighter 4 era Ryu hadouken. I think visually it’s the best. When it makes contact it looks like the opponent is engulfed in flames as you can see the fire dissipate from the opponents back

[@Jarro77_Insane_Fights]

Wow the first ever hadouken was not blue!! this is really a surprise for me I always though was blue This move is LEGENDARY Love the video keep going the great work👊🏻

[@LeoGarciaEspir]

Don't know how I got here, but this compilation should be on the youtube top

[@carlosaugusto9821]

As SF went on and also having different dev teams, it's interesting to see the difference of vision about how to design the Hadouken. Mainly the projectile size but also all the special effects. Of course I don't mean how MvC Hadouken are bigger... MvC (and TvC) Hadoukens must be compared separately . I mean the differences between the SFA and the CvS Hadoukens for example. Or SF4 and SF5 Hadoukens (and now SF6 version too). So the devs never set a visual "model". But maybe it's better that way. More creative freedom.

[@mechanomics2649]

I think that it can be said to show Ryu's evolution and mastery of it.

[@SuperSoldier26]

I love seeing Ryu's hadoken in Marvel vs Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2, Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha and EX2 Plus, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and many others

[@Vito230sx]

I like the part when he does hadouken

[@420rick3]

That’s my favorite part also

[@KDT008]

Only noticed this the other day but in street fighter 6 when his hadoken connects with an opponent you see cupped hands behind the fireball just like when he throws it . Thought that was a really cool detail.

[@brunogerosa8318]

The shakunetsu hadoken is so powerful that it change the height of the people hitted by it

[@Megaman.ExE7]

2:11 SNK and SNK2 Effect is the best. Pronunciation and Punchiness of the sound. That's what Ryu would sound like in real life

[@Bon-bn5lc]

Arguably one of the most important moves in fighting game history. Without projectiles fighting games would be VERY different

[@T1P619]

always loved the way the hadoken looked in tatsunoko and smash 4.

[@owenchin9539]

Ryu's hadouken was very powerful that could crush off the enemy.

[@aznpikachu215]

I think Street Fighter the movie Ryu took some inspiration from the Rainbow edition.

[@meganinten0078]

Probably 😆 Ryu in Street Fighter the Movie the Game (arcade) is one of my favorites in terms of gameplay 👍

[@hahaimasian]

I'm happy to see some of his original fireballs.(fireball with his hand shadow). I played sf2, so his fireball were the original for me

[@shinx2k6]

Inspirational, as you get older, you become more powerful

[@damienwarlock]

i think you mean, as Ryu's gotten older, they've nerfed his hadoken to do less than 5%-6% damage which is disgusting from his original power.

[@mechanomics2649]

You said that Ryu was inspirational? GTAB

[@darkerfalcon3747]

The JP version of the arcade Street Fighter I, Ryu will shout "Hadoken!" Instead of "Psycho Fire!"

[@tallessiscate9865]

1:24 the special is a super haduken in this game! where is this? hehehe

[@H8erfisternator]

Missed the non charged S version in umvc3 where he shoots consecutive hadoukens.

[@9720muazkamenrider]

Awesome 👍😎

[@robertgoldthorpe1652]

Thanks for this, one of the sounds and posture that I still do to people even though I'm 55 years old 😂👍 🙏💚🌍🙌

[@simcitybigworldmedia]

Waiting in a que to play Street Fighter 2 at the Aracde hearing the sounds of the epic sound track and Ha do ken are treasured memories , my favourite sound track was Ryu Stage , everything about the production was tight on Street Fighter 2 I remember my friend finally got to the end boss and beat him , it was really intense and on the edge of your seat , and a round of applause 👏 from people watching ...... also back then I remeber that M.Bison was the Boxer and Balrog was the last boss , for some reason they switch around the names when the game landed on consoles , ahhh those where the dayzzz.

[@KaisenInfinte]

From a energy ball into a kamehameha

[@redpanda84]

Takashi Nishiyama said he was inspired by the Wave Motion Gun called Hado Ho in japanese, a powerful weapon from the Space Battleship Yamato anime series

[@DocteurInfierno]

In the first Street Fighter, it was really tough to doing

[@rodneymene8747]

They still hurt after all these years.😸

[@lautaroescobar1561]

With ryu super gem fighter mini mix cute design, i was expecting him call "hadouken" with his high pitched voice from alpha series

[@aervaealtonelty9850]

Hadouken spelled differently is Kamehameha

[@mechanomics2649]

Nope.

[@kami97754]

Old ryu be like: HADoOOoOOken

[@kenrichgumanid9235]

For all these years...

[@user-yv1ps1jw1n]

All my lunch money was converted to quarters and fed into the Street Fighter II machine at 7-11 before I got on the bus to go to school 8th-9th grade. I would dine on food kicked down by kids that got free lunch.

[@WhatIsMatter101]

Hadouken suddenly became a Haoh Shokoken in the 2D Versus Marvel games. Then a blue Optic Blast in part 4. Ryu has some identity crisis going there.

[@zanethezaniest274]

Every other Ryu appearance : HADOKEN!! Street Fighter : The movie : HOW-DO-KEN!!

[@damieankemetaka-tlkuk5450]

The nostalgia is real😢

[@carlosaugusto9821]

You only missed the air versions in MvC1 but it's a small detail

[@user-gu7kn3np4y]

[@jonathanconnor4717]

Nice video, but woulda been great if you put the names of all the games in lower thirds

[@ghowstcrafter9201]

Alternative title: Ryu bullying people with his hadoken

[@Legarad]

In Pokemon, Lucario's Aura Sphere is really a variation of Hadouken. Aura Sphere in Japanese version is called Hadoudan

[@PushoverMediaCritic]

Always interesting to compare which Hadoukens have hands inside the fireball and which ones don't. It seems about 50:50.

[@Mr1970s]

I thought the Mongolian fighter was gonna bust out a “shoryuken!” for the KO.

[@phorchybug3286]

First one sounds hilarious

[@tankerock]

Do you own all these versions?

[@Jackfernando4555]

0:55 my personal favorite. Love that they reused it in MvC2

[@saunamadman9086]

Ohh yugits! Have come so far

[@shinhiryozenchikiza6540]

Wow 😯😮

[@franzmutuc9272]

On my opinion, the BEST FEATURE of Ryu's Hadouken is in Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers and Super Street Fighter 2X The Grandmaster Challenge or commonly known as Super Street Fighter II Turbo👍🏻

[@wodahS720]

Would the ones in Rockman X DiVE count too?

[@user-rq3uh3mg2p]

류의 아도겐은 시대를 관통하는 기술이네요

[@meganinten0078]

0:31 I really like Ryu Hoshi's hadoukens in SF the Movie the Game (arcade) He is the master of 'Fireballs'! Something that this video didn't show is that after he fires his projectile he can make it going backwards! 😆 I would love a new shoto character having that kind of control for his/her projectiles

[@sera404]

Feels like the producers researched Rainbow edition pirate arcade a bit too much when thinking up moves haha

[@mechanomics2649]

We already have SF Rainbow Edition.

[@gregoryholtorf7874]

You should add the clip of Veldora spamming Hadouken from the slime anime season 2 part 2 episode 11

[@rayanzaidi2793]

I used to hear it as: “Coyucas!!”

[@upiocolecionadordegames]

Esse primeiro Street Fight eu me lembro 🤩 é demais 😱 suprendente uma ótima noite meu Herói ❤️que Deus abençoe sempre todos nós 🙏😇 abraços de seu fã Upi Vitória SEMPRE 🌀 Jonny cage Wins The flawers Victory Plimmmmmm Excelente ❤️ Fitallity 🔋

[@Williamcosta181]

Que comentário mais ridículo

[@user-hs3bm4hf2s]

effects improved slightly, damage cut greatly

[@NateSoRoyal]

Is this where goku got kamehameha?

[@civc4568]

Goku came out before ryu so it's ryu got it from and I love it 🥰

[@alphaandomega106]

its not even same thing

[@Genshank-Impact]

you missed ryu at monster hunter world

[@tebogopekane1418]

Nostalgic.

[@rodrigovasquez8902]

In unvc3 no repeat hadouken?

[@diogob.9646]

Dá hadouken Ryuuuuu!

[@SuperSoldier26]

4:10-4:17 Perfect KO!! You win

[@steventan6381]

Summary: You need really big fireballs to deal with Marvel & DC characters.

[@AndrewDaniele87]

Wait, street fighter the movie the game had 2 versions!?

[@wynMurdika]

i like ryu on sf alpha 123

[@teddyxxix]

I like the part where he said "hadouken".

[@TheNoobComment]

3:34 or 3:50 ? Which one would you pick?

[@korhansoydan]

Aduuket!

[@listerofsmeg884]

since when could he do orange ones in WW?

[@marekkos3513]

SF4 the best hadoken

[@GabiN64]

Ryu's voice in smash bros is weird

[@xnamkcor]

You forgot Street Fighter X MegaMan

[@artemisagracielli]

Hadoken!!!

[@gaidenrocx1]

SF 2 hadouken is still the GOAT

[@mechanomics2649]

Nah SF4s is the GOAT.

[@gxljx2729]

Where is Ryu from Brawlhalla ?

[@Mike-jv8bv]

SF2 has the best hadoken voice.

[@alamgirshaikh468]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CMmeows]

Kyle Hebert does what he does best. And I don't mean voicing Kakyoin🍒🍩

[@MiniOtto1]

The 2nd hadoken is the best

[@niccoloquattrocchi843]

Why in the fuck Hadoken in the first SF deal half hp bar dmg

[@BANDABUNNY2]

Am I the only one who spams this move

[@zeroizanagi]

The most iconic input ever: ⬇↘➡🤜

[@yasergooyandeh9991]

I just wonder what Hadoken means

[@realchezboi]

波動拳 (Hadōken) 波 (Ha) Wave 動 (Dō) Motion 拳 (Ken) Fist or Hadō together can mean “Surge”, which means it can also be called Surge Fist.

Graphics and sound started to drop off on the 6th one, in super street fighter 2. The quality of the animation went down as well. Before that was the peak for coolness….
