[@stratyocasterson9237]

10 years later, and this is still the best video about Ryu I've ever laid eyes on.

[@calvinfnc91]

i come back to it every once a year to show myself why I like street fighter so much

[@yaofan1552]

True even 15 years later.

[@danielsiekiera2006]

I agree, shinku

[@GrandeMOficial]

Transition level godlike.

[@bucketspree4952]

im thinking desk had something to do with that

[@SnakeversoGames]

Peyton Swartzell he just stole the idea

[@SilverShion]

Acording to all the SF crossovers and cameos. Ryu have fought against: 61 street fighters ,41 capcom characters,47 marvel characters, 25 tekken fighters ,22 namcobandai characters ,24 SEGA characters, 13 tatsunoko characters, 24 SNK characters, Asura ,Cole , Toro, Kuro, Pacman = 262 oponents. And his journey still continues.....

[@Bloodlyshiva]

Cole?

[@SilverShion]

Macgrath

[@Bloodlyshiva]

SilverShion Isn't he Sony? When did they fight? All the others I know about.

[@SilverShion]

Street Fighter X Tekken

SilverShion Get ready to add a bunch more if the Smash rumor is true!

[@kingdomcome3914]

This is pretty inspiring. To never stop improving on what you do best, and how you keep adapting to new challenges. The path of Ryu, the World Warrior.

[@yoshinpixels9924]

Words to live by, and what I have for years now XD :)

[@LucasDePretto]

A nice subtle detail is that, in the transition from 3:19 to 3:20, the hit counting is preserved. Amazing.

[@jaggnuplays]

*watched this on the exactly 29 years of living in this planet and no time was wasted*

[@A-1-Sawce]

This video only gets better every year. Ryu is the spirit of fighting. I'd like to think there are other people who are touched by this video like I am. It holds a special place in my heart.

[@nyodesu]

Man, even all of these years later this video is a marvel both in its editing and the combos showcased. This is still one of my favorite FG videos out there today.

[@sonichurricanedotcom]

This video took over 8 months to make. You're right about the "by hand" part but not about the "sit there and do the combos over and over" part. That last Ryu vs Dhalsim combo took two and a half days to develop and a full day to actually record. Some of the other combos took twice that long. Those SF2HF and ST combos took forever! Every single clip meant learning and researching a whole new game, since the only game i reused was SF4 at the end. Trust me, there was plenty of "over and over."

[@Haruhiistnumber5]

Thank you.

[@felphero]

Dude! I wish Capcom would hire you or something, you DEFINITELY deserve it

[@kreits7384]

@@felphero hire for what? for doing combos?

[@chriskeepit100]

Great fuckin work bruh

[@yotatouch]

Thanks so much for this video and ALL the work you have put on it. 14years already but still so well done. I'd love to see Ken's version as well even if i know this is a lot of work to make a new character. Anyway thanks again so much.

[@jorbolol]

This video chronicles the epic tale of a man on a journey to find himself. May you find what you're looking for one day Ryu.

[@NostalgicDays88]

I never get tired of this video. I used to play it along with other game trailers on a monitor at my job back in the day

[@keysopendoor]

nearly shed a tear seeing this again no joke, over a decade ago now still one of the best pieces of video game montage / gp video ever produced.

[@BlueAiacos]

Don't know what's better. The combos or the transtitions.

[@SHINBAXTER]

THE SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS MAKE IT FEEL LIKE ITS ALL 1 LONG COMBO =)

[@persona83]

Amazing sync indeed. Great video!

[@YoutubeApestaACACA]

Transition

[@azariahdenver3450]

i know Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online ?

[@landryayaan5215]

@Azariah Denver Flixportal

[@KainMaxi]

Seconded. I also love the transitions between scenes . Looking at this video, you realize that Ryu has fought a lot of crazy battles versus boxers, supervillains/heroes, robots, kung fu masters, dictators, monsters, yogis, vampires, bullfighters, karatekas...

[@xLithiumFlower1]

More than 6 years later and we still don't have this song. RIP.

[@CaptainRikkai]

+01 02 I personally still haven't found the Ryu is Strong soundtrack anywhere, despite the name being there. I've found an 8 bit version, but Imm not sure if this version is anywhere online.

[@xLithiumFlower1]

01 02 Uh you're joking right?

[@Yaotl-Icel]

berry Box I'm also looking for this song, Calcius Repton has an official page on bandacamp, there are a different version there, but i preffer this version. Check it out man calciusrepton.bandcamp.com/album/b-g-m

[@Sixfortyfive]

Haven't watched this in a while. Just noticed that KZbin updated it to display in 60 fps. Pretty cool.

[@kinderparty]

It’s the best

[@REItheBLOODEDGE]

Wow this is the ultimate tribute to Ryu. Im not that much of a Ryu fan but damn this was good.

[@zaqqaz]

Love this combo video. One of the all time greats.

[@Masamune_Shadow]

Man, this is still one of the sickest and slickest combo videos I've ever seen.

[@Masamune_Shadow]

Spencer Johnson I come back a year later and was about to leave the same comment. I'm ok with that.

[@A-1-Sawce]

@@Masamune_Shadow I have to watch this a few times a year, every year, so don't feel bad.

[@D3Vlicious]

Impecable editing. Still one of the best edited combo videos ever made. Wish we had more like this these days.

[@FurkoTurko]

Man with street fighter 4 i had the time of my life. These special videos, the teasers, announcements, THE HYPE WAS SO REAL. When we saw daigo in the title on youtube, we were like holy shit new videoooo. When there was big tournaments going on, everybody was going to twitch. Godsgarden, topanga, canada cup, capcom cup, EVO. We stayed literally all night awake to watch it live. I remember at evo 2011 the viewer count was at 200K + holy shit i will never forget that, the tournament were poongko was destroying people with his seth, vs daigo, the chat was exploding. Sf4 salt videos, ragers, beefs everything started with sf4. When a sf5 tournament going on, viewers count around 5k and big ones like capcom cup and evo around 20k -30k. Hype is totally dead. Not like old times.

[@sentienceRemains]

I’m with you except “everything started with sf4”

[@felphero]

I always come back to this video every once in a while

[@LatisARG]

2016 and still one of the best CMV i ever seen.

[@kairimishima6213]

year 2024 i never stop watching :)

[@bamtalks7108]

This video is one of the primary reasons I make videos in the first place. Thank you Maj

[@SmoothJK]

I don't understand how anyone could possibly be this good or creative. Even with countless takes, I could never pull off anything close. Amazing.

[@pixelasianshow]

Not only are the combos pretty amazing, the transitions are beautifully weaved together and makes the video seem like one long fight with multiple characters. I definitely appreciate the work put into the video as well as the time you probably put in editing it. It makes it all the more enjoyable to watch!

[@BananaFrank]

I was looking for this video. Glad to see it still around~!

[@MasterEnex]

RYU WINS!

[@Termagantflea55]

Whoa I didn't know you was a street fighter fan too. :-)

[@wristmax]

RYU ALWAYS WINS!!

[@sendylie1774]

PERFECT!

[@wristmax]

SUPREME VICTORY!

[@Deadkeiichi]

AWESOME VICTORY!

[@mioloprode]

Wow, 2012 already and i still feel the cold thrills down my spine at that last act. Insane how the editing tells such a strong story.

[@sentienceRemains]

Bruh it’s 2020 and I still do too

[@jblue88hoodgamer]

I still watch this video even in 2020 man this video brings back memories.

[@sentienceRemains]

Still the best combo vid ever made. Thank you.

[@thelastcarnival]

Happy birthday, Ryu. Never stop fighting/training/learning/adapting.

[@xthechroniclesof.5554]

This video put me on the path and this is the video that'll keep me moving forward in fighting games.

[@iLLo.88]

I will always be a Ryu fanatic! Ryu's the best! He's the Allstate for Capcom and in every fighting game he's in, he's always the best well rounded character.

[@Frozystormrage]

After all these years, this is still the best fighting game video ever made. The music, the text, transitions, execution of combos, and most importantly, the feel this video gives with what I call the second part, the climax of feels with the help of hadouken theme, it is just perfect. This video is my secret flavor to life, to give my all before i cease to exist, thank you for making it. If you can, make more like this. Thanks again

[@darcel21ify]

The most iconic character in video gaming history.

[@javi9445]

arcel d One of the most iconic video game characters period. As generic as his look is, it's amazing he is as popular and we'll known as he is.

[@eyn85]

The 90s were an decade with lots of ´´generic´´chars...and thats why I loved them since I grew on that area...hate chars with bizarre/clown looks or who wield huge nonsense weapons or even worse the new gen of effeminated chars that keep spewing from japanese games....its just nowadays people started hating on ´´human´´chars with basic looks...

[@izuddin151]

The scenes are great! Thanks for the upload! The last fight between between Ryu and Gouken is inevitably epic! One shouting "SHINKU" and the other "DENJIN" and the next thing you know is both are shouting "HADOUKEN" at the same time. Cool!

[@codename7000]

Love how Ryu fights he puts his all into all his moves he throws

[@robaustin_]

Still the best video out bar none. I get chills every single time I see the ending, and I've seen it atleast 50 times. I doubt the maker of this video can ever top this masterpiece.

[@sonichurricanedotcom]

I know how that feels. Before i started using programmable controllers, i used to spend an entire three-day weekend trying to capture one CvS2 combo for a video. Eventually i got to a point where i got tired of making compromises, so i decided to try tool-assistance. It didn't actually change the amount of time i spend on each combo. It just lets me try more ambitious things.

[@MoDeep1212]

As a long time Street fighter and Ryu fan (been playing with him since the SNES days) this video moves me like no other video game could ever hope for LONG LIVE STREET FIGHTER!

[@legend]

truly an amazing video i really enjoyed watching this

[@robertsmith1994rs77]

OMG this is probably the best thing I've ever seen so far about Ryu this is exactly what I've been looking for and I hope to find more about other favorite characters

[@felipebrasil5]

ending clash is just so cool ! very clever man congrats

[@MysteryEzekude]

This combo exhibition was a blast! I was truly amazed by how well the exhibition transitioned from one game to the next. Ryu is almost perfectly synchronised between each transition. Excellent choice of music too!

[@huevonesunltd]

Nice detail where Ryu's clothes get burnt by Dhalsim

[@aklmax_]

wow, good find. 👍

[@YadonTheCat]

+huevonesunltd Makes me wish that actually happened in these games, that'd be awesome

[@lianas7970]

I noticed that too! Transitions are SPOT on. :D

[@tailbite4815]

It's really a joke that I found this video yesterday, and I always show others how much I love Ryu. Thanks for the tribute, thank you Capcom for the SF6.

[@DRAGUNOV911]

No doubt . Ryu is one of the best Street Fighter character that capcom ever created . YOU ARE A TRUE WARRIOR !!

[@limecatcher1482]

happy 10th birthday to one of the best videos uploaded to the internet

[@twrmz]

I loved every second of this.

[@classicmail8239]

Desks videos are godlike but that's honestly one of the best combo videos I've ever seen.

[@sendylie1774]

One doesn't simply to defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.

One of the most impressive combo-videos I've ever seen - have the full version on my HDD and watch it every once n' a while. Epic stuff.

[@defo8811]

Best part of the video is the ending loved the EX series and music from the anime series.

[@HenriqueKarate777888]

1 decade after and i still feeling so mucho for This vídeo. Thankx tô The Genius who made This

[@LiangHuBBB]

this is the best combo video I've ever watched. Thanks for the great effort!

[@HurriKayne55]

Great vid man, insane editing!!!! Literally the most fun I've had on KZbin in a long while

[@adamwizel3207]

The Answer is in the heart of battle.

[@raidenkeify]

Adam Wizel the answer lies in the heart of battle

[@EmperorZoom]

This is probably my favorite combo video right here. I LOVE the transitions, and after making a combo video (that's not that great i might add....), I have come to appreciate watching them even more than I used to. Before I used to only look for damage or the number of hits, but now I see what allows those hits that seem "impossible". For that, I thank you for creating videos like this, so that I may learn. ^_^

[@guywithpen]

Deserves a million views

[@guywithpen]

+MrSpades401 That would definitely get me a place in the the Guinness books.

[@Domador_de_Jupiter_Z]

Esta por lograrlo.

[@Jayz457]

Been watching this video for over six years and it never gets old.

[@KnightsDisillusion]

An absolute classic! This and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike-Ryu insane combos by KYSG (Video Blazian Bonez) made me a Ryu main.

[@PeipeMasta]

Wow. The montage was so fantastic I almost cried. Astonishing job on the editing, and amazing job on the combos. That was mind blowing. Thx for sharing dude !

[@AcidGlow]

I like the Hadou SFII V music in the credits. That song is very good. Too bad the flute version from the series never made it on the OST.

[@ESCOBEN]

this has to be one of the most beautifully edited videos i have ever seen.

[@stevenscott1479]

moment you're here for is at 4:43

[@RaidenWarbound]

Wow..... I just had the meanest feels. Took me back to my first ever game of Street Fighter II when I was 11. Thank you for this!!!

[@justin94431]

Thumbs Up For Ryu the Legend Fighter XD

[@danthewafflelord3059]

This was the video which inspired me to pick up Shotos (or their equivalent) in every fighting game I touch. I've stuck to that and never looked back.

[@bryanc7094]

Good choice 👍 warrior

[@TheNarratorX]

2019 looking this beauty vid

[@LeafDew]

This is one of my fav combo videos, thanks for uploading

[@sigma20xx]

I was at EVO that year. The room got quiet when the video started. Then it was a constant wave of moments of silence to yells with each transition. Man I can't believe it's been 14 years already. Are you guys still active in anyway? Did life happen? What's going on?

[@komododragosh]

Hoooly... the ending was just pure epic!!!! Congratulations on such a spectacular video!!!

[@NinjaWorldWarrior16]

Happy 50th Birthday Ryu!

[@proxima5107]

NinjaWorldWarrior16 oh, you are here, i saw you many times. For example on Ryu vs Scorpion video from screw attack. But this is perfect video right ? Scorpion never can't beat Ryu... :) Screw Attack have to know this.

[@blackkusanagi-2734]

I always show this video off to the students at my middle school. It always hits deep in the soul.

[@kritovall]

this needs a update :c

[@OnionLai]

Those transitions from each seen ARE AMAZING. Good editing.

[@BenChanViolin]

I made a Ryu/Ken theme combo video to double-KO replay footage if you're interested in hearing it on 2 violins and piano! It's pretty epic, IMHO.

[@dojimon44]

Very nice choice for the second theme. It makes this video so epic as how the evolution of Ryu has become to this day.

[@ryu7408]

You must defeat sheng long to stand a chance.

[@CallOfSilence]

Infinite props to your editing and combos. Your Ryu is fucking insane and you show his true skills in this video.

[@MrKarate_11]

AWESOME. YOU WIN. PERFECT.

[@GJSmith78]

nice work, blending of the scenes was fun to watch and I liked the finish

[@behemothbear]

Ryu Strong Style.

[@rednavi]

wow the editing is just awesome! Totally worthly to watch! Congratulations for making such an outstanding video indeed.

[@sonichurricanedotcom]

At this point you've literally taken both sides of every single point that's been brought up or disputed. You don't have a good argument dude. Give it up, please. Street Fighter 4 is a good game and deserves its popularity.

[@KatanaNoNamida]

You guys totally understand the game mechanism and capable of bringing the best element ryu into play. I salute you.

[@Hitsyfication]

The only version I can find of this song is the Megadrive version by Calcius Repton. Could you point me in the right direction for the version you've used?

+TheSilverDragon1 Way, did those Best Friends reference this video? when and where?

[@MrMastaPlanna]

ryu is the only reason im taking karate, aside from that he taught me how to really go far in life without ever really calling it quits (him, goku and kenshiro). i also strive to be the best ryu player i can be, i accept anyone's challenge.

I enjoy watching this video so much. You can tell a lot of work went into orchestrating the whole thing. 5 stars.

[@sonichurricanedotcom]

Tekken, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, even Smash Brothers - all sell a million copies every time. What's wrong with getting grabbed 3 times in a row anyway? Whatever, i couldn't care less about your opinion of Daigo or what Ryu is supposed to play like or how Abel matchups should look. Since we've reached the point where you're building strawman arguments for me and putting words into my mouth, i'm done wasting my time with you. Stay or go, your choice.

[@kevaughn69]

As a gamer and as someone who uploads vids, I am UTTERLY impressed by this video. Those who disliked this must have their reasons... I just hope they're good ones, lol. GREAT work. I'm amazed every time I watch it. Bless.
