8:34 That's the greatest Combo in any fighting game in history, it's been a classic since Champion Edition with the 2 hit Ken dragon punch against Sagat and Balrog. The simplicity and animation, power and cool factor has never been beaten. The only two that come close are Guile jump HP, uppercut, sonic boom, backfist. And Guile Jump HP, standing HP uppercut to DOUBLE Flash Kick. (Many don't even know this combo is possible).

Facts

[@lowcorrelation]

I remember renting this on the snes, going over to a friends house and recording our fights over his big bro baseball games on vhs, going to video rental store to play sf2 cabinet (clone) and leaving with a copy of labyrinth. Thats so 90s, i started smelling the scent of the drink, surge as i typed this Gg

[@rcblazer]

The elusive red/orange Hadoken at 4:06. Me and my friends tried for the longest time to figure out what it does or how to do it, and then years later I learned it was just a graphical glitch.

[@tail8666]

Ken also has this glitch. And even if it’s graphical, characters that get hit by it do turn into their flaming hit sprites

[@kenshiro7960]

But Ryu got a red fireball in super street fighter 2 because of this

[@QVAZzzz]

Actually, the early arcade cabs of OG world warriors and champion edition actually had something where every like 200th or 500th input (didn't matter what button, could even happen during a block) a projectile would automatically come out instead (mainly hadoken s and sonic booms, since those are the 2 main kinds of projectile inputs to learn) so that people would see a special move they didn't know the now standard QCF/QCB/DP/RDP, charge players, rapid P or K, and the 360 Hyper bomb for the single grappler we all know today. They'd occasionally see a special come out and wonder how to execute it on demand like the CPU. Actually a genius way to get quarters from young and casual button mashers. Something to achieve besides getting past the 3rd stage to keep them from quitting from the constant loses. It was almost like a very basic way to encourage you to learn what you could do in the game and how to do it by sneaking a peak at something you want to get to happen again. I think they were teasing that the shinhadoken was coming soob, but hadn't yet decided to give Ken the flame DP and Ryu the fire hadoken. That was when they started to focus on different strengths and even some of their moveset, coming into their own more than more than a mere shoto pallet swap. After that, Ken was more crazy kicks and Ryu had his →M/HP command normals. Fast forward and Ken is all about Shinryukens and Shippuu Jinpai Kyakus and shoryu reppas, and Ryu is tossing shinkuu and denjjn hadokens, and the brute force shin shoryuken. I like how they had one lean into certain sides of their Ansatsuken training over the years. Seems like Ken has kept the fire element while Ryu has gravitated to electricity which fits hadokens better. Also think it's hilarious that their names literally come from the Sho-RYU-KEN 😂

[@manafbenayache1880]

The SF2 is a glitch itself ! The things the cpu can do that you can’t do a little ex of the glitchy Cpu a couple of days ago I was playing against level 7 Cpu as always I got to Brazil 🇧🇷! Blanka Was moving and jumping like it was controlled by an AI ! He grabbed me and started bitting me just just a normal grab it took the remaining 50% of health no matter how fast I pushed the buttons and the arrows ! It s an ex ! If you want to play that game just like that and you know that Cpu can defy the laws of physics then go ahead lol ! And when you lose just say : well it s a cpu 😝!

[@automotive474]

Not a glitch my bro, they added it in there so many kids around the world would spend just a few more quarters trying to pull off the "fire hadoken". It appeared randomly and they made the sprites for it, it wasn't a glitch.

J you gotta neutral jump more over his fireballs. Relying exclusively on your fireball to defend his makes your pattern easy to read. Ken's fast fireball isn't really fast so you almost never get duffed neutral jumping. Good set tho. His Ken is legit.

Nostalgia, this takes me back to SF 2 Turbo. Justin Wong, the older brother of one of my friend used to that same combo, however his was with or without a crossover jump kick then the 3 hit . He only needed to do that 2 times. The first hit was a guarantee dizziness with half your life gone the next time was the finisher. Back then, he even finished that game in front of us by beating the game at the highest difficult and beating all the CPU with 2 Perfect.At the end of the credit they gave him a special poster. With the new release of it and the fact it was not Turbo but Hyper, I wasn’t sure if that move was still there.

Hf ken is built different at the start of the round if u catch them with a jump in heavy punch st heavy punch heavy shoryuken they dizzy do it again they dead my fastest ko had 93 seconds on the clock back in xbox live arcade days

[@TheRealFreshOJ]

Justin, we have to get you a better Ryu stun combo. If they're cornered: jump fierce, close strong XX Fierce Shoryuken. Otherwise, it should be crossup roundhouse, crouch strong, crouch forward XX Fierce Hadouken (which is a ToD, by the way). Also worth trying: crossup roundhouse, crouch strong, close fierce XX Fierce Hadouken. I put this stuff in a FAQ more than a decade ago. TZW may have done a combo video with this in it, too. #proudaltgamessf2OG

[@paulblankenship1146]

In hyper fighter lp adds more stun because it's supposed to be a weaker hit but for some reason i don't know why but when you do a hp it keeps the stun at the same level for the next move. Add the hp stun with the lp stun and it adds up just enough to stun. Now that i think about it, it might have something to do with the counter system.

Turbo Chun Li is just broken Air Down Mid Kick spam breaks through so much. I used to terrorize the arcades with her and Vega.

[@Christopher-tz3mr]

I started my Street fighter journey at the sequel to this game. Ryu has a different fireball than Ken. As a Ken player, I'd try to use Hurricane Kick as Ken's version didn't deal as much damage as Ryu, and in its place, Ken just deals more hits with less damage per hit. Found a uquine trick where during the Hurricane Kick Ken stops moving and hits enemy 2x while simultaneously striking infront and backside. When the attack connects, it's impossible to block as it hits both sides. This tactic requires the Hurricane Kick to be used on enemy while they are lying on ground before they get to their feet. Walk up to their body and execute the "Heavy" Hurricane Kick as they get to their feet. I managed to use this on Bison during main game.

I think I remember reading somewhere that there is a bug in SFII across all iterations that wasn't corrected until the PS2 Anniversary Collection version of the game which causes Ryu to take double damage when he's stunned. It's kind of a nothing issue since getting stunned in this game is a death sentence already. Probably why it took so long to correct if it's true.

[@jakal911]

I think that's only World Warrior. They left a 2x damage against Ryu when dizzy into the code and forgot to remove it after testing.

[@TwistedSoul2002]

⁠​⁠@@jakal911​​⁠That’s almost correct. If Ryu is hit on the frame where he is leaning furtherest forward, he takes more damage. It’s nothing to do with a dev forgetting to remove any test code.

[@ShinUltima]

@@TwistedSoul2002 Except it kinda is? They had plans for "weak points" in the code, but only implemented it in 3 places: Blanka Ball while rolling, Sagat Tiger Uppercut on the way up, and only the animation frame of Ryu's dizzy animation when he's leaning forward. It was idea they had planned and they scrapped it without removing the code they had implemented. Even if you want to claim that Blanka and Sagat taking double damage during Blanka Ball/Tiger Uppercut was intentional, there's no way that Ryu and _only_ Ryu was intended to take double damage on a single animation frame while dizzy.
