S.F. GOES ANIME: Ken Legacy - Street Fighter Alpha 95'

[@cielo987]

to confirm yes, the stage where he fought Birdie and Rose is a pretty much shot by shot remake of that scene where Bruce fights Chuck even down to the cats

[@wiltondexplorer]

Yeah, I've seen that movie also. I forgot the title, I think it was Way of the Dragon, correct me if I'm wrong. 😊

[@senormarston]

The cats are the best part

[@thatstrangenoise]

Weird how Ken goes from being such a pure fighter to sneakily having extramarital tea with the ladies

[@bazzjedimaster]

that hadouken at 4:37 went back to its home planet.

[@Worldend23]

I still can't believe Max is confirmed for Smash Ultimate man..... HAHAHA

[@lowtierpleb7459]

3:29 "They had Sodom and.. this GUY" Good one Max

[@songoku9348]

I love these legacy vids. Always nice to see Max play the classics, the good old days where there was no online just you and the cpu and some friends.

[@E24KLawson]

Not to mention plenty of unlockable content, back in the day when you had to put in that work and it all paid off when you got everything.

[@shoto7948]

Son Goku Yo i saw you on the third strike theme video lol

[@songoku9348]

Shoto what theme video? Lol

[@gokusondbz]

Personally I think the First Street Fighter Alpha is one of the most underrated Street Fighter games. For me Street Fighter Alpha 2 favorite Street Fighter game of all time. And the Street Fighter Alpha Series hands down the best series.

[@nak3dxsnake]

Guy for sfv

[@aspreedacore]

@@nak3dxsnake zeku is basically the guy "function" of sfv

[@aspreedacore]

@Yodafire Boel I agree there is too many shotos and your right capcom can release guy later but unlikely as zeku already serves the "function" xd

[@Ashamaxa]

People used to rage about SFIV Sagat about how busted he was.... but for me the most brutal incarnation of him was Alpha. That multihit HP Tiger Uppercut was almost banned at the arcades i played back then.

God, that move makes me both love and hate Sagat.

It's a shame how they took Ken's rivalry with Akuma away.

[@ahumblechicagoan9942]

You say he's not a worthy enough opponent, but we've never actually seen Ken fight in a vengeful and angry manner (well, except maybe in the Street Fighter anime, but even then he mostly kept his cool).

[@ahumblechicagoan9942]

@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines Ken challenged Akuma before, but was easily defeated, this comes from the story I don't think he was meant to be Akumas rival. I don't even think Akuma acknowledges Ken

[@rockmenx8xx411]

@@ahumblechicagoan9942 If Ken wasn't a worthy enough opponent, then why did Akuma copy Ken's shoryu reppa? Akuma must have at some point seen Ken fight and thought that that move was worth copying.

[@omegaweapon116]

Alpha 1 is great. I love those chain combos that everyone had

[@EvilDoresh]

A neat thing about Alpha 1-2 is that there's no dedicated boss character. Everyone just ends up fighting whatever rival/nemesis/etc makes the most sense for their story.

[@h-cane]

The dialogue rant from 14:07 - 14:57 priceless 😂🤣

I love how, as Ken, you can cancel a sweep into a super. I always use Shinryuken

[@aroperdope]

No Max. I love it when Ken & Ryu talk about how awesome bison is

[@RobCrowley85]

I think Ken is referring to Akuma. "He must pay" likely refers to 'killing' Gouken.

[@jackbadger3976]

YES love that you remembered the Way of the Dragon reference.

[@TheGameDomeGuy]

There was a point in the street fighter history Ken was the only one who knew about a akuma killing gouken

[@luisburgos7365]

never played Alpha but i LOVE how the scene from Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon made it's way into this game as a stage xD

*Street Fighter is the best Anime!*

Nario Even better than DRAGON BALL??? I DO AGREE that Street Fighter is a great franchise, game series, and anime series, but DRAGON BALL is popular ITSELF.

[@nyodesu]

@@joshualowe1821 It was a joke. Since Max was playing the Alpha games, which are in an anime style, I made the joke. That's all. My real favorite anime is Fullmetal Alchemist, I haven't seen any other REAL anime, I've only watched obscure Amazon Prime Romance anime.

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

There is a REAL Street Fighter anime.

i remember renting this on the ps1 when it came out. this game was incredible. it seemed like a huge jump from sf2.

[@tinomoreno21]

14:14 totally agree, i think the 90's Anime movie got the story elements just right, the simple smaller character stories and the Bison (Vega, Dictator for the homies) big story stuff, not perfect sure, but i think came pretty close...also, Chun-li. Happy thanksgiving everyone.

[@franciscobecerra5660]

“Ken turned into waluigi” Yeah, but Ken’s still the only one in smash

[@StephonZeno]

14:20 So what you're saying Max is that you want the characters to feel like and interact like normal people? Instead of being pawns used to move the story forward? Same here.

[@markwentsleightlymad]

I love every game in the Alpha series. Too good!

[@Bast6]

True Story : when Alpha/Zero came out in France, I bought the game solely based on THAT intro ! I hadn't seen anything else about it. I loved Street Fighter, this anime-ish intro looked awesome I wanted it !

[@user-bi9tp8zb9k]

Good treat for thanksgiving.

[@esmooth919]

11:17 Didn't the chain combo system debut with Darkstalkers?

[@AnthrKira]

it started with darkstalkers , it came out one year earlier i think . i don´t remember when or where i read about that,but i think is because capcom usually tested game-mechanics before with sf and in alpha series, each game had different styles.

[@joshualowe1821]

And max is FINALLY started the Street Fighter ALPHA series!

[@Kincaidu]

Ryu theme in Alpha/Zero1 is my personal absolute favorite version of Ryu theme. Simple, clean and neat.

[@AnthrKira]

i have to say, when i was a kid, when i was trying to beat the game with ken for first time i suffer with ryu , i was really bad since i didn´t know how to do specials and neither supers and ryu always kicked my ass or jump away with the tatsu. nowadays i see myself as a better player and i can easily win againts ryu but i´ll never forget that time when i was a complete noob and wasn´t able to even do a simple hadouken.

[@Thelowestofthelowtiers]

After years of fights,Ken now fights to be the top alpha!He even grew a ponytail for the occasion!

[@Hell_Soll]

YES my favorite SF series

[@Vectone]

I died when max said oh so ryu got some brain now and when ken turned into to wa luigi.

I might be mistaken but Ken was the one who witnessed Akuma killing Gouken

[@johnodaz1273]

Great vid Max. Good stuff bro. With that Bruce Lee stage Fei Long should be in the game.

[@orlanzo2621]

Also the guy he's talking about beating is Akuma, this is after Ryu and Ken found out Gouken was "killed" by Akuma. They actually found that out after returning home after SF1.

[@hectortejeda2057]

This game on the PSP was where I properly learned the SF moves.

[@ganjatheninja]

happy thanksgiving max.

[@NegoClau]

Try this combo here: Crossup flying kick (MK or HK) > crouch (LP > LK > MK) > standing HK > shoryuken or shoryu-reppa The chain combos here work for mostly everyone and are loosely based on the first Marvel Super Heroes game on the arcades...

[@heroesytumbas]

I hope you include SVC Chaos with Violent Ken in this legacy series. Shoryuken cancel into Kuzuryuu Reppa and then catch with Shinbu Messatsu. Loved to do that.

[@Amesang]

_Street Fighter Alpha_ - My very first SF game… which I played on the GameBoy Color. No joke, CPU Akuma's LV3 "Messatsu Gō Hadō" could take off 90% of your life bar if it landed; it was even stronger than the "Raging Demon!"

[@siccman09]

Can't wait til ken alpha 3 legacy 🤘🏼

[@AnthrKira]

it wasn´t this alpha version of the sf characters that were used in the vs. series, its the alpha 2 version , in fact, they have the same voices for those characters(ken´s voice for example) , however , despite the sfa characters had new animations in sfa3 , they were never used in the vs. series and they stick with the alpha 2 versions.

[@Arcademan09]

The ending screen for Ken, isn't that the dock stage from SF2?

[@tonystafford5797]

Max Ken was talking about Akuma cause he saw him "kill" Gouken.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

Part of me kind of wish that the Alpha series retained the chain combos instead of limiting nutty combos to meter dependent custom combo systems. Granted, the chain combos always did feel like a more natural fit in over-the-top franchises like Darkstalkers and Marvel. Keeping SF's focus on solid fundamentals made sense in order to give each franchise a strong identity.

[@Aaron_Masters89]

Sick video love ken 😈

[@SeboHyatt]

I know he probably recorded most of these already but I think it would be cool to do more than just one alpha. I think the story changes for every game in the series for some people.

[@MagumoKawasaki]

Well it is called Alpha, which means the beginning. So lore wise it is suppose to be the very first Street fighter. in japan they called it Zero though. Like with Resident evil Zero being a prequel to 1.

[@ogredanhibiki]

You're right they keep rewriting stuff but at that point in time the story was that Ken saw Akuma kill Gouken. So that's why he wanted to fight him.

[@meganinten0078]

I like the Alpha series. Alpha 2 is my favorite. Sodom for SFV!

[@carlbloke8797]

15:00 honestly Max your tangent there was on point and just perfectly describes everything wrong with SFV’s story. Personally I find that SF4 had the better story since they at least flesh out Ryu and Ken better later in the end. And I definitely did miss when the fighters actually talked to each other before a battle

[@Crunkman2k]

It's even better when there's no point to the fight. See: Abel vs. Fei-Long and Rufus vs. Dhalsim rival fights in SF4 - summed up as "I DON'T LIKE WHEN PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS" and "Dhalsim is very annoyed by this large man."

[@carlbloke8797]

Crunkman2k ikr the interactions they mixed up with different characters was so fun
