Street Fighter 1987 - Arcade Longplay with Ryu

Well, this was, what, one of top two fighting games of the time- because the only other fighting game I knew of from the era was Yie Ar Kung Fu. And the more I watch it, the more I realize it’s not bad at all. It’s just Capcom iterated on it and made something much better, so of course the early version isn’t as good. Those games paved the way. Something had too.

Ah.. I remember. When I was a kid in the 90s I was introduced to street fighter 2. Then came CE. Then turbo. I could find street fighter 2 arcade machines in many places... grocery stores, hotel lobbies, etc. The whole time I was wondering "isn't there a street fighter 1?" Could never find one, until a family road trip in 95.. stopping in some motel in some backward hick town in Kentucky, in the lobby. Got some quarters to play, I couldn't do special moves like I could in SF2. A simple hadouken was a struggle to get out. From there I understood why it's been largely forgotten.

Some version of the game that you would see in arcades had one giant punch button and one giant kick button. You had to literally pound the buttons with your fist, and the strength of Ryu's punch or kick would depend on how hard you punched them.

[@RyuEnGamer]

Yup! I remember the pneumatic buttons were the first version. Then they did the six button layout because the pneumatic ones got broken quite often from being pounded so much.

[@LITTLE1994]

The original was never legendary. You mean the second game.

[@19zach75]

This game is legendary. As a lifelong avid Street Fighter fan/gamer, I will say that this is the hardest SF game to play of them all. Example: I beat the original Street Fighter 2 in about a week an a half of first playing it. It took me at least 2 months to make it past "Adon" in this game. You see, the fireball/spinning kick/dragon punch weren't as easy to perform as in SF2, but if you managed to pull it off, it did major damage. Sagat was the final challenge, and was an absolute beast.

The game did get other home computer ports in the late 80's when the game was released as well.

this was actually the reason why SF2 was born. this was a major hit during its time. many liked the game so they had to make a part 2 with huge improvement.

You would think that since this game was really lacking the polish and game play quality of the sequel, they would have released an updated version of this game with today's graphics. "Street Fighter 1 Remixed"

There was a fan who did just that. Fixed the game up nicely but still using the first games graphics.

[@tokokuken]

Hard to believe that Street Fighter would not only go on to be a recurring thing, but be the standard by which 2D fighters were designed. This game really sucks. If you've never played it, it just feels awful. Whoever is doing this longplay is actually getting the specials to work at a miraculous rate.

[@atoaster9940]

tokokuken the gameplay really sucks. but the "voice acting" has some charm to it and the spritework/art style is pretty well done.

[@aquamentus8951]

It's one of the first fighting games. So you can't ask too much.

[@nightman333]

tokokuken I agree. it took me a round to throw a fireball... and this guy is doing it like he's playing the 2nd one.

There's no excuse for a game this poor. The game has not aged well at all. SF2 has aged well. PAC-MAN has aged well. This game has aged like milk.

Mike is not Mike Bison/Balrog.... they're two different characters according to Capcom Also Geki is not Balrog/Vega...Geki is also his own character (tho, he may be multiple characters of the same Shinobi clan.... and Vega may have trained with them)

[@sidgar1]

Joe is not Ken. Ken is Player 2. You can play as him from that side.

Yeah, it was pretty unusual back then for an arcade machine to be this difficult. Well, it was designed to eat your vallet up as quick as possible after all. :D

[@mzenmunkey81]

Willie Murray - there was a button version of this coin op and another one that had pads you hit to do punches and kicks - the pad version was impossible!

[@spiff2268]

I found the opposite to be true. I was pretty good with the pads, but when they came out with the six buttons I couldn't do the special moves for shit. They seemed to have fixed that with SF2.

[@Nessal83]

This is where it where it all started, this version looks so crap compared to the Street fighter 2, what a transformation though.

[@AdrianLucid]

I remember playing this first Street Fighter in the arcade when it came out, didn't know I was playing history in the making

[@nchw68]

I used to play the six button version of this at the bowling alley on 32nd Street Naval Base in San Diego back in the late 80s. I got pretty good at the Shoryuken and so was able to beat the game anytime I played it. The Shoryuken was not blockable in this game so it made you invincible and all powerful. You could take down an opponent with just one Shoryuken if timed right such as when the opponent charged you - it sometimes connected 3 times. I once knocked out Sagat with one Shoryuken with the round timer at 99 - it starts at 100. I immediately did a Shoryuken at the start of the round and Sagat charged me at the same time aaaaand lights out. Never could reproduce that even when playing it in MAME and using cheats.

[@LITTLE1994]

Although this is the very first SF, the second is the one that polished the whole series. But I'm glad the player finished Sagat the canon way.

[@HighSkiez]

-JFA- Because it's aged like shit. Games like PAC-MAN and Space Invaders have stood the test of time. This doesn't.

[@CrowFGC]

HighSkiez that’s because the ge was ahead of its time. if you push your limits, you won’t stand the test of time because you’ll be doing “new” before you’re ready for it.

[@HighSkiez]

Motion's Memes A lot of games push limits and still hold up well though.

[@Magic_beans_]

SF1 is a case where the team's ambitions exceeded their capability. Contemporary games like Yie-Ar Kung Fu and the arcade Punch-Out didn't have nearly as much depth to their fighter's abilities, but the animation and voice work were well done, so they're all-around well made games. SF1 went bigger with pretty much everything. Some of it worked (six-button layout, special moves) and some of it didn't (two-hit KOs, stiff controls, that voiceover), which leaves the game feeling unfinished (to me at least).
