Strider blew my mind when it first came to the arcade. The character and sword movement was so awesome. And when you have things like the gravity reversal stuff it was just crazy. It felt like one part ninja, one part light saber wielding Jedi.

Long-time fan/sub. So glad you enjoyed my Strider (2014). It really was a labor of love. Back when the original Strider arcade came out, I fell in love and wrote into my "Videogame Developer Bucket List - Make a Strider-like game." Fast-forward to 2014 and I got to mark that off my bucket list! So glad you had fun with it!

God bless you for covering this game. I remember first playing this after school in the late 80s. This was one of the games that pulled me back into console gaming back then. I didn't hesitate getting Strider 2 for my Playstation One and the rebooted PS4 masterpiece. My all-time favorite video game character.

Strider, another one of my favorites in arcade universe..and the character Strider Hiryu is among my list of favorite Capcom Characters of all time..along with Captain Commando, Ryu (Street Fighter), Megaman and others..he is most notable for his appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom Series, Thank You so much for another Retrotastic videos, Mr. Patman..I'm Sure more videos will coming right up soon..it's Arcade History time for me..so prepared for my snacks and my Coca-Cola..and ready to relax 😊👍...wished to see a history of more SNK 80's arcade games besides Ikari Warriors

There is a character Zeku in Street Fighter 5 who is seemingly the first Strider, or at least one of the major influences on the creation of them. He even proposes calling his fighting style Striders in his ending and has an outfit very similar to Hiryu's when in his younger form. Edit: No sword though he does have kick animations that mimic the blade, a bird that drops bombs, and instead of a dog/wolf a ferret that advances across the screen then does a very cute flying kick.

[@dashalpha]

the Strider reboot was a really great looking action metroidvania, good stuff!! Got strider 1+2 on sale years ago digital on the PS3 too. Great games!

[@JoseMolina-ij3xx]

Zeku, which is the first Strider, is in SFV. He would later be responsible for Strider Hiryu. You can tell Zeku is a strider by choosing his alternate costume. It's quite amazing to see that the Strider universe is canon with the Street Fighter universe.

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

The absence of strider hiryu in marvel vs capcom 3 caused an uproar amongst the fighting game community. This was later fixed in ultimate marvel vs capcom 3. It added 6 more characters to each side, strider hiryu was 1 of them

[@jonboy8951]

[@ThunderFist1978]

Galloping Ghost Arcade was the first place I have seen a Strider cabinet, and also its spiritual successor, which is called Cannon Dancer in Japan and Osman outside Japan. The story goes that Kouichi Yotsui had wanted to make another Strider game, but Capcom was not interested at the time, so during Yotsui’s time at Mitchell Corporation, he and some other former Capcom staff made Osman/Cannon Dancer as sort of an unofficial sequel to Strider. Most of the play mechanics from the original game are there, except that Kirin, the main character, has no weapon, and instead uses kicking as his main form of offense. I got to play Osman when Galloping Ghost unveiled it as their Monday mystery game on June 11, 2018, and nowadays anyone can play it, since it got ported to the PS4, PS5 and Switch in 2022. Strictly Limited Games has physical copies for all 3 platforms. Great video as always!

This video prompted me to look up Junko Tamiya (composer), which led me to the work called "Snow in Savanna", which can be found on KZbin. This seems to have been one of the prototype tracks from which the majority of the arcade game's (amazing, challenging and weird) soundtrack was developed. I actually used to have this track on tape, way back in the 90s.

I never played the arcade version of Strider. I don't recall ever seeing it in the wild when I was a kid. I imagine it blew people's minds given the graphics were quite impressive for it's time. It looks like a quarter muncher, but I imagine it's beatable with practice. I did play the NES version. The issue most people I know who played it rented it, and never had a manual to get past Egypt. So most people I know never got to play the bulk of the game. My younger brothers bought Strider for like 4 bucks from funcoland(They were happy get a game even if it was a turd like LGN's Xmen game. It was so cheap it didn't matter.), so I tried get through it but got stuck at that point. You can't beat the shark miniboss and survive without the water boots, those require you to rebound to a higher area that's normally too high to jump up. I shelved it for a bit. I happen to read a review for another videogame in Gamepro that mentioned your character could bounce off walls like in Strider which made me go oh...may be that's a thing, and then tried to see how that worked. I put on a turbo for my a button and jumped at a wall, and sure enough it eventually bounced upwards. Once I learned that you could bounce off the walls with a properly timed jump I was able to finish the rest of the game in a short period of time. The game has alot of depth but really would benefitted from a ingame tutorial mode. (Like charging your cipher requires to hold up till it's ready, the game never tells you how it functions.Only that you unlocked it when you speak to the one guy.) The Genesis game Strider Returns is just meh. I never enjoyed it as much as the NES game. I got it as a gift, so I can't complain too much. I gave it a couple times, but only made thru to may be the 2nd or 3rd levels. I eventually threw on game Genie and beat it just see the whole game, and never touched it again. If it wasn't for this video, I'd probably still forget I own it. I played the PS1 port on my PS3, but it got lost in my backlog of games. I didn't play it enough to have any strong opinion one way or another. I probably should give it more time at some point. The Newest Reboot however looks solid, and I am shocked this hasn't gotten on my radar sooner. I will probably grab that whenever I decide to go on another digital spending spree.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I never beat the NES version as a kid. Always preferred the arcade and Sega Genesis version. Plus the reboot in 2014 was fantastic ;-)

It is weird that I never had seen this game anywhere back in the 80s and we had several big arcades around. Even in recent times with the local resurgence of arcade pubs I still havent seen anyplace feature this. Just strange we never had it around this region back then.
