Show of the Week: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary and Jane's Obscure Character Challenge

[@outsidexbox]

Happy Friyay! Please enjoy Show of the Week, internet friends, and have a good weekend love from Notification Squid

[@whathappenedtomyhandle]

grilled calamari coming up! will the sushi ever end?

[@hazemalagha]

* speaks with lock jaw * What strength! but remember there are guys like you all over the world!

[@respectableaf9061]

I don't want to play Street Firghter if I can't play with Abs Maximum

[@kadosho02]

Love the Street Fighter coverage, I picked it up on Tuesday. Those memories came back, and yes 3rd Strike is just incredible. Also enjoyed the quiz with Jane, well done. (seriously how does the crew keep a straight face, when she smiles) and win pose. Epic. Excellent episode. =D

[@hazemalagha]

outsidexbox You guys should make a video where you go on Pottermore and get sorted into your houses

[@JStryker47]

Don't feel bad, Andy. You're not the first. Sonic: "We gotta land on the Egg Carrier!" Tails: "Whoops! Uh... I forgot something." Sonic: "What's that?" Tails: "There's no landing gear in this mode!" Sonic: "Whaaat?!"

[@scorpix96]

That victory pose. there is no remorse in those eyes, no fear, only pleasure from the kill. chilling...

[@warandpoetry9542]

So, can anyone sign up for Andy's personal reminder for show of the week or do you have to be a video game mayor? I'm fine either way.

[@dragon-kitty]

Bailey Alexis Snow - read this and suddenly got an image of Jane all mad scientist style (mad cackling and lightning in the bkround) pushing one of those big red "evil" buttons and then we all get reminders Not sure I should be more afraid of Jane or my brain 🤔

[@rakibul27rabby]

@@dragon-kitty is Jane sending these reminders through that brain inplant she installed in my head few years back? Because I don't think mine's working right

[@dragon-kitty]

@@rakibul27rabby i mean brain implants sound like theyd need maintenance 🤔

[@caitlin1998m]

"Oh that's Cody from jail." Makes it sound like Cody is Jane's old friend from her time in the slammer which is something I can absolutely believe.

[@europademon]

caitlin1998m we don't speak of the dark times... The before times. Andy and Mike aren't her first co-hosts, others knew too much as well.

[@dragon-kitty]

Donald Hudson - yes but she's much more efficient now, these days if something goes wrong it's just a simple fix it of cloning or mind wipe 👍

[@TwitchWasHere]

You overthrow one small island nation (twice) and rule it with an iron fist and they want to throw you in prison forever. Ugh...

[@sovashchetty4838]

That opening was so meta even Deadpool was impressed.

[@zachharvey61]

I’m pretty sure he’ll invite Andy to the X-force now

[@samyooel3079]

Kenny Omega playing a guy called Cody? Just can’t escape that naughty American Nightmare

[@shane9091]

If you put the initials of Jane, Andy and Mike together, you get JAM...do with this information what you must...

[@soleking3208]

Kill them.. put them into a blendtec blender and sell official Xbox jam?

[@shane9091]

Sole King I like to think it would be a raspberry jam

[@JachAnen]

Or MAJ, which is Danish for May, which is the month Denmark was liberated from the Germans, which means they traveled back in time and ensured our freedom somehow. Probably Jane harvesting German souls, Andy being a silent death and Mike Miking all over creating panic until they gave up.

[@shane9091]

Jan Christoffersen Or...in the Fantastic Beasts films, “No-Maj” are muggles. The fact that OxBox is Maj implies they do in fact have magic...it’s all coming together now

[@1993Shahid]

If we add Luke and Ellen, the jam suddenly becomes French - LE JAM. Or Spanish EL JAM.

[@Ceece20]

I can tell you who Q is. Q is an omnipotent being whose race is also called Q and live in the Q continuum, a realm that can only really be interpreted due to the complexity of the Q. And I will fight anyone who thinks I’m talking about an entirely different thing than the Q mentioned in this video.

[@scorpix96]

Apparently one their most famous members gives technological gadgets to english spies

[@Szceith]

This was the only one I got of all those street fighters, and for precisely that reason.

[@Joearango481]

Fight Jane because he was a experimental murdery project who got a trench coat

[@Valandar2]

I still own the most horrifying Street Fighter version of them all - Street Fighter the Tabletop Roleplaying Game, by White Wolf Games!

[@marhawkman303]

I'd actually be cool with them adding Zhi Li as Chun-Li's sister. The character looks similar, but the similarities are the name and look. the moves and backstory are very different.

[@Luwispurpul]

White Wolf made a Street Fighter game? That’s fantastic! Imagine the Vampire: The Masquerade crossover potential. Well, if all the fights took place at night....

[@Valandar2]

Actually, if you own the First Edition book "Combat: The Big Bad Book of Beating ***", almost everything in it was converted directly from the Streetfighter RPG. They just dropped the more ridiculous techniques, and the ones that required Chi points (like the hadoken).

[@Nodranil]

That was one of the best intros you guys have ever devised. Well done.

[@jimmyc3030]

Mike: 'youre not going to start a fight facing the other way'. Ummmmm, mike, have you not heard of a 'duel' before?

[@Joearango481]

Winners duel facing the right way. You win like every time

[@andymcp4752]

Who knew a streetfighter character quiz would be such a good place to find way better future character ideas, cant wait to play as Spikey McShoulderpads in streetfighter 6

[@JachAnen]

Which version? Champion? Turbo? Hyper? Turbo - Hyper? Super? Super - Turbo? Ultra?

[@Joearango481]

I more excited for mesmetron

[@McDDcM]

Congratulations Andy. That is the 100th time you’ve mentioned Macho Man Randy Savage in a video. You win, a cheetah print vest.

[@jetpackcthulhu]

Adam McDDcM such a proud moment for Andy's supporters

[@JachAnen]

Aww, I thought the prize would be a supply of Slim Jims

[@sampeters5589]

Now Andy has two cheetah print vests worth it

[@radusocol2613]

Now if there's a crossover I wanted it was certainly Oxbox and Kenny Omega. "Good luck against Okada."

[@szbnahl]

Can Andy call all 2 million subscribers personally when a new SotW goes live? I know it sounds stupid and inefficient, but it's still a better system than KZbin's unreliable notification emails.

[@vismundcygnus2800]

That intro was great, and also Andy's digital voiceover impressions! This is truly a classic episode.

[@sovashchetty4838]

All that Street Fighting must make you pretty exhausted, careful not to tyre yourself out.

[@TheSiegeAndrew]

"Abs Maximum" may not be allowed for the point but it WILL be the name of my first child.

[@lukeaspland9500]

Wait the great expectations game has microtransactions. What hard times these are

[@Arjaes]

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure microtransactions, result misery."

[@AjesDH82]

The question the video asks "Street Fighter is HOW old?". I guess you are looking for the answer "All of the above", since all the individual answers relate to 1988. Though I will point out, that Michael Cera hasn't actually turned 30 just yet, and also Street Fighter actually already came out in 1987 on arcades, though home versions were first released in 1988.

[@robertoazuaje9279]

Never thought I would see the Best Bout Machine on Show of the Week. I was pleasantly surprised.

[@LostSoulNo301281]

Janes description of Q’s backstory “he was in an experimental military project”. Isn’t that the backstory of multiple Street Fighter characters? 🤨

[@RedReaver07]

Greatest intro I have ever seen in the history of ever! Let's jump into more shows, that was ox-some! :D

[@ameliascott6160]

Who knew I had to know so much about classic lit to understand Oxbox videos

[@thompompey32]

If Jane had answered “Generic man 2” for Ken, I would have given her the point. Ryu and Ken are the original Generic Man 1 and 2!

[@drankydrank1]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@CaitlinRC]

There's something about the notification squid that makes me want to obey his every command... a bit like Sovereign from Mass Effect. Hm.

[@restlessellis]

The digitized speech announcer really sounds like Tommy Wiseau.

[@TheJaguar1983]

I loved Street Fighter EX 2. So many blisters from trying to complete Zangief's Challenge Mode.

[@patrickracer43]

5:47 Dudley is taking a trip to Suplex City, then Powerbombsville

[@rayv3r]

That some spot on Sly Stallone impression there Andy! Now say 'Adrian'

[@loganbrandon8503]

I loved the opening sketch with a passion

[@Hellwyck]

Mike's doing SHOW OFF the week!

[@ayanhaider303]

Show Of The Week, the only thing that can corrupt the hard-balled Mayor Cody into submission.

[@SirRavix]

Street Fighter Alpha 3 holds a place in my heart. I still have my GBA version that I played most days back in highschool. R.Mika!!

[@toadsage]

That show of the week intro music is so great.

[@emccoy]

Andy is correct it isn't the music for Monkey Island. Its the music played in the Scumm Bar.

[@luketsimmons1982]

Most convincing reason to press a like button EVER. I mean, I'd be doing a disservice to my ancestors to not press it, right? We've been born in the golden era of social sharing, we should embrace this! (too much?)

[@lutakip.librax4162]

Seeing the words '30th Anniversary' made me realise just how much time I've spent missing out on games because I wasn't alive. Right now I'm wishing I was about 15 years older.

[@lisquidsnake]

Why am I hitting the Notification button when all I have to do is become mayor and Andy will call me when a new SotW comes out?!

[@batboy-xf3ki]

Lol you guys are really the best at being awesome

[@nikkianzalone2914]

nice try andy! that’s not q! that’s nick valentine!

[@jonglover498]

Good show Andy and the gang

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Looks like those landing gear comments... didn't land very well with Andy.

[@aztecgamer3190]

I can honestly say I had NO idea T. Hawk was Mexican. You learn something new every day.

[@Insanerobert44]

Don't worry Andy, plenty of aircraft can land safely without the landing gear deployed, there are even emergency procedures for that...... And you did it on sand, so bonus points on soft terrain and minor damages on paint! :D

[@Platonis-The-Warlock]

Guile Theme goes with everything, especially with Show of the Week.

[@killbill32167]

11:57 Jane, I can't believe you. Can't you tell that's Nick Valentine?

[@coyoteartist]

Took a bit of googling but now I can say I remember the Street Fighter cabinet back in the late '80s. It had that dude who looked like he was punching himself in the stomach.

[@pr1ncecharming306]

Yaaaay guys ur awsome, best part of my Friday

[@ashtherion]

I love how Jane tries to cast Eldritch blast at 15:58 to change the character's name to Vance. I mean, I don't think that's how it works, but good effort nonetheless.

[@bradypermenter8761]

I love how there is almost as many street fighter 2 games as there are all the other street fighter games

[@yastaav]

11:41 - That's obviously Nick Valentine during the early days of the apocalypse.

[@barneymiller7894]

@ 15:57 Why do i feel like when you said Vance! you were casting some sort of eldritch spell?

[@josephmarsh6437]

Oh hey, the best bout machine

[@nikbol43below]

"Good luck against Okada" what a reference

[@patrikhjorth3291]

14:35 Dammit, you can *not* show me pictures like that while I'm eating! You nearly ended up owing me a new pizza!

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

I bought a Pandora's box 6. Lots of arcade games. 😀

[@mattotterpop]

Alpha 3 over Alpha 2? Oh Mike... sigh. and yes, Andy is right, 3rd Strike is the best, and the music is amazing.

[@alittletea9310]

Had to give a like for that intro:)

[@lowlowcheeses]

Wow, it took the makers of Street fighter a lot of games to learn how to count to three!

[@solayahuang1258]

I'm here like Jane's highlight is on POINT!

[@AjesDH82]

Andy you were very nice with the characters, actually to me the most tricky ones were Alternate costume Ken and Dee Jay. And I will admit I couldn't remember Dee Jays name, so I would have gotten him wrong or not been able to guess him. So I would only have been able to get 9 out of 10

[@keeganconnor3224]

Who else was screaming "IT'S VEGA WITHOUT A MASK" at the screen while Jane tried to figure it out?

[@ifcmsaym]

Before this episode, I've never noticed that the Show of Week is broadcast live. Good that I always got luck to log into KZbin at the time of the streams. I need someone to call me as well :)

[@generalmanyara]

Mike's shirt is awesome

[@stormwolf5848]

Jane dont know street fighter characters but if you ask her about a life is strange character she can tell you the whole character backstory.

[@TrafficJamByCam]

I think I did my ancestors proud. I have never hit the like button with such determination. That one was for you Great Great Great Uncle Joe.

[@tanner1ie]

While the first Street Fighter came out just a few years before my time, coming out when i was six, when i didn't take an interest in games 'til i was around eight or nine. Even then i was only playing on cousins and friends consoles, in arcades and shops 'til i was 15 (when i bought my first actual own console, which was a Master System at that, which i bought out of pocket money for £30 in 96, when most of its' games were also pocket money friendly prices of around £10 or less*). And though i didn't own my first actual console 'til 96 as said, i got various LCD handhelds** between about 89 and my eventual MS... While most of these were generic "no name" systems, in particular one of them (and the main reason for this comment) was a Tiger Electronics handheld version of Street Fighter II, which i really enjoyed, still have and indeed, it still works :) . (*This was in the summer of 96, nearly 18 months after the PS1's Japanese launch and about eight months after its' European launch. The day i bought my Master System i had a pretty straight choice between it and a Mega Drive, which was basically twice the price - £60 for the system and about £20 or less each for most of its' game. Indeed while that wasn't super dear, but for a pocket money funded kid, that doubling of cost was still significant :) ... I didn't even get a tv of my own 'til about a year after my MS, buying it from a mixture of pocket money and a £40 "present" from a shop after a week of work experience, when the shop didn't have to give me anything - i worked a second week of W.E. later at a different shop and they didn't give me a penny. Even though i'd played on my cousins Mega Drives plenty, i never did own one of my own - skipping over it when i bought a PS1 out of the money from my first summer job in the summer of 98 :) . **I was even passed on a Barcode Battler from my cousins, which is "technically" a handheld console, i guess - pity none of them wanted to give me one of their Mega Drives, even in the late 90's when most of them were older than me, though i guess they would have been just a bit too much of a gift :) .)

[@jessicastrike5640]

Mister mani pedi? 😂 that's a superhero I want to see! He goes around and gives people perfect nails 💅

[@Videosaurus_Wrex]

Wow, Birdy in Street Fighter 1 looks exactly like the groom from a wedding I was at last week, except he wears t-shirts under his pointy punk vest

[@Videosaurus_Wrex]

Oh and the yellow and red is switched around on his mohawk, but I swear he's a giant one eye punk with a yellow and red mohawk, Birdy in real life.

[@zanewoollett6877]

"Good luck against Okada" Instant like.

[@danielsday9279]

"Good luck against Okada!" Top tier reference that the guy playing Cody is NJPW wrestler Kenny Omega

[@SimBir08]

Spikey McShoulderpads is actually a pretty good name for a fighter.

[@jakewillis5352]

I guess you could say Mike was being a Show off (the Week)? *leaps dramatically through pun window*

[@alexanderramos-ruiz4727]

Best intro yet

[@maxlittlewood]

Fighting streets you say? Maybe streets like obscure comic book character Danny the street, a sentient street? (actual character guys look it up)

[@jeffreywells1832]

Max Littlewood Doom Patrol represent!

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Comic books need to just stop

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Wait no I just remembered a show I watched as a kid had a sentient bridge, so never mind

[@Hellwyck]

Fighting Street was the name given to the PC Engine CD-ROM console conversion.

[@BitCodeKhan]

Max Littlewood ia

[@JohnnyKronaz]

That first one was clearly Nick Valentine.

[@JanosAudren09]

Hey Andy, just so you know, you were meant to use the landing gear. Hope this helps!

[@DamnedEyez]

12:36 "#2, this character" ...isn't that Andy's D&D character?

[@nymalous3428]

You guys missed the most obscure Street Fighter of them all: Street Fighter 2010, talk about a hard fighting game, try fighting flying space rabbits and alien plants.

[@Se7en2107]

My favourite is Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo because that's the one I grew up with

[@Skullface551]

Dang I was hoping for a Street fighter match between the OxBox Crew.

[@williamdunhan341]

Hmm, I guess Mr Freeze is just COLD to your jokes. We're not though, we've WARMED up to them.

[@CharlieNash1]

I love it when i'm referenced in Street fighter! My name is actually Charlie Nash!. They totally took the physique and good looks from me! ;)

[@reyo0531]

Mike and Andy talked about ugly and beautiful pictures in the street fighter museum.which was mikes Mona Lisa in??????

[@recurvess9569]

11:38 Nick Valentine!

[@SirRavix]

Guile's theme goes with everything

[@chipsk8361]

Love Mike's Muttley shirt.

[@epremier20050]

What else in Andy's mobile games shenanigans, playing Pokémon Quest and kill Pokémons off of his team to get that one Pokémon to level up quick?

[@MunchKING]

Is the Cody from Street Fighter V the same one as the one from Final Fight? I know the one from III Hyper Turbo super Ultimate Alpha Beta Delta Gamma was. :p

[@TheOverArchiver]

The road’s closed? You mean you’re going to let that little inconvenience stop you? I was running to catch a bus and had to parkour over a block of construction work.

[@thebpphantom]

Mike's Wacky Races shirt kept distract me. Love Muttley.

[@Crimson_Rogue97]

KEN you name some more obscure characters Jane?

[@TwitchWasHere]

Marcus Hough- It'll certainly take a lot of Guile. Hope she doesn't draw a Blanka.

[@hanadodaro1701]

Q reminds me of the DC character The Question who also had no face and wore a trench coat and hat with very little back story

[@rosskwolfe]

When are we going to get the video list of "Games That OXbox Always Finds Ways of Putting Into Lists"?

[@moto2442]

1:45 Isn't that what Mike has to do? Show off the week

[@hazemalagha]

I too have been fighting streets for 30 years even though I'm 13. SCIENCE :D

[@brentage5000]

I honestly wouldn't mind a rebooted Street Fighter movie, provided it's closer to the game's normal story mode, still features Ming-Na Wen, and is directed by Taika Waititi

[@ianknight5120]

That is the most "Film Theory" intro to a Show of the Week ever
