Johnny vs. The Street Fighter Series

In today's episode, I'm kicking a lot of people in the face with Ken Masters! It's the Street Fighter series, folks, and I'm gonna spend some time reflecting back on what I grew up with!

Fun fact: The composer of Street Fighter II is none other than Yoko Shimomura, the world famous composer of the Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy XV and the Mario & Luigi series. Even back then, her music is still amazing. The best part, she did return to compose remixes of Ryu’s and Vega’s themes in the Super Smash Bros. Series. 😊

It's kind of funny to remember the Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat rivalry back in the day. It was almost as heated as the Sega vs Nintendo rivalry. I was firmly a MK kid, but I did like me some Street Fighter when I was over at a friend's house. He was also a Sega kid while I had the SNES. Worlds colliding, man.

[@devonmiller113]

+Kingnewgameplus persona 4 is amazing but it's so critically loved that the rest of the series gets pretty skimmed over. Persona 3 has 1 movie, while persona 4 has 2 anime series, a dancing game spinoff, a fighting game spinoff and and a crossover with 3. Like Jesus Christ Atlus. I'm still waiting on a person 2 anime or movie adaption. Persona needs to go back to the darker themes like its early days.

[@monfernova]

[@SRGIProductions]

And Dhalsim thinks that's A-OK.

[@LostChildOfTime]

The purpose of the Alpha/Zero series was to emphasize the use of lengthier combos. Alpha 1 had chain combos which allowed lights to connect to mediums, mediums to connect to heavy punches/kicks. At a glance, it seemed rather nice. At best chain combos were absolutely terrifying to exploit because the game lacked two things: damage scaling over time (I forgot the correct term for these) and a downtime from being stunned again after you were previously stunned from the same combo, meaning you can be perma stunned. You can literally die from one combo in Alpha 1. So Alpha 2 had to get rid of the chain combo system in favor of a system that was considerably more linear. This allowed the game to feel more like Street Fighter 2 while allowing the player to use at least half of their super meter to perform custom combos which was somewhat risky but rewarding. Alpha 3's ism system was simplified by allowing 3 styles of play. X-ISM was the representative of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo which gave you one super meter, more damage given and more damage received with limitations such as no air blocking. A-ISM represented the Alpha series system which allowed you access to the basic Alpha fundamentals from Alpha 2 minus the custom combo meter. The amount of damage given and received was balanced. The last style was V-ISM. V-ISM takes the custom combo system from Alpha 2 and made it more accessible. The damage done and received was low, but this was unmistakably the most popular ISM for most characters in high level play as the damage done from a custom combo was substantial (without being broken).

[@fissilewhistle]

Although it's worth noting that Guy and Gen were retained the ability to perform Chain Combos in Alpha 2.

[@LostChildOfTime]

KamektheMagikoopa1 Yes. Guy retained his signature combo from final fight and pretty much punch chains. However Gen didn't retain anything because he was [re] introduced in Alpha 2.

[@fissilewhistle]

But he could use them.

[@LostChildOfTime]

KamektheMagikoopa1 Never said he couldn't. I'm just saying Gen can't retain something from Alpha 1 when he was never in Alpha 1 to begin with. That means when he was introduced in Alpha 2, he was designed for chain combos to shape the identity of his character. In Alpha 1, chain combos shaped the identity of the game and he has no part of that because he wasn't in Alpha 1. That's all.

[@etechzero6476]

Alpha 1's combo system might be broken but it's so much fun

*"Since 1987...since 1991"* < You knew *exactly* what you were saying and what I was thinking. I didn't fathom every game that was released but I can tell you now even Street Fighter II had more replay value than SFV. What I hated the most about the franchise other than it's convoluted story was it having too many characters. I think most of them are fine but the remainder are totally forgettable and shamelessly returning into newer games. Sadly, I even forgot about Rainbow Mika even when the Naruto-like voice acting threw me off. Most importantly, I hate the damn re-releases with "extra content" when they're really just optional DLC that should've already been in the damn game already. Great video once again!

I will always remember Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo because of one memory. I was attending a Comic-Con which had a SSF2T arcade cabinet. After seeing some matches and the descriptions given by myself, the hosts asked me to commentate on the match proceedings for 20 minutes. Best 20 minutes of my life. I came up with names like 'Lilac Bison' and 'Blanka the Terminator' due to costume appearances, and was filmed by my dad and others. If you don't believe me, I can upload the video of me at 2017 MCM Manchester Comic-Con commentating on matchups like Bison vs Balrog and Ryu vs Blanka.

Dr. Badtimes I don't. Upload

[@WanderPIerce]

Great video! I'd love to see more series retrospectives like this in one video.

[@mikemccauley7706]

You should do a review The King of Fighters and Mortal Kombat

[@LawIsLow]

*calmly waits for johnny to talk about akuma*

[@bumpndump9643]

oh no Johny, please tell me that you didnt pay for your copy of street fighter 5

[@Segaman55]

he said he got a review copy

[@BobTheArchmage]

I think he said he got a review code. Which I think means he got it for free.

[@manuel0578]

you didn't watch the video, did you

[@KidSnivy69]

End of the video says he got a review code

[@akumawins0404]

i spent money on both the steam and PS4 version and got the season pass for both platforms and have zero regrets, being a comeptitive player i only look for the competitve gameplay aspects but i can understand why people are upset with the current state of the game but with fututre updates we will get the story mode update and characters that were promised throughout season 1. With that being said i think the game is going to have a long competitve lifespan and the game is only going to get better with the yearly balance changes and additional characters being added. Sorry if im coming off as a fanboy but i can't deny it i am lol

[@NeftyDariel]

I played Mario & Luigi music at 13:54. This, and that moment where he was trying to deal with the Kinect menus in Sonic Free Riders.

[@MrGonz801]

Maybe one day you could do a retrospective like this for Mortal Kombat

[@ThatOneLegendEmerald]

26:15 When Smash Bros has better Street Fighter content than Street Fighter.

[@halfdarkshadow]

Mhm, that BlazBlue shout out though! Gosh, do I adore that series so much lol

[@SolidSnake684]

Street Fighter will forever be a series I love, and hate (god damn AI!). So frustrating, so rewarding, so cool. There's nothing like it. Now if only I didn't have to buy a special controller for every system just to keep up with the series....

[@CntrazZombie4]

Most people don't know that Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers actually retains the Turbo feature of Turbo, but ONLY up to the 3rd Star Speed, which is the base "Turbo" that 2 Turbo Defaults too.

[@esmooth919]

I wonder if Johnny plans to update this video to include Street Fighter 6

[@SilverShion]

You should have waited one more week to review the Story mode.

[@2doges1bong]

Why?

[@manuel0578]

you didn't watch the video, did you

[@2doges1bong]

Jus tell me bruh

[@KidSnivy69]

I don't think he cares

[@WaddleDee105]

The story mode isn't going to save this game.

[@thecrazy8gamer480]

Johnny do a newer updated version on Johnny Vs Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and CD!

[@sonicdolphin117]

I'd love you to try out Killer Instinct and cover it for your channel. You can get the XONE version and the classic games for $60 so if you're ever curious that's the way to go.

[@Halcryder]

Oh, Street Fighter Movie the game, the one that took everything you loved from SF2 Turbo, and slowed it down again

[@wingbeltcreations5455]

This video got me to watch the SF2 Animated Movie today, and it's pretty good. Heck, I've never even played Street Fighter and suck at fighting games.

[@ivan2003boy]

Johnny vs metal slug

[@VictorHernandez-jz6ii]

You should do a vs with the KOF series

[@spider-boy5587]

I hope he does a round 2 for street fighter 5

[@Guccibear100]

John, man, you're such a cool dude and around my age. I wish we grew up in the same neighborhood. You like all the same games I do. Good shit man. keep it up.

[@ehburn]

Great video as always John! Do you think you could take a look at the Rayman series?
