[@LunarDuskSSBM]

The one true combo: Jumping heavy kick into sweep. Glorious.

[@killasin303]

🧀🧀🧀

[@legacytournament]

And can be done in almost every fighting game

[@StuUngar]

Better combo is jumping heavy kick, crouching medium kick-hadoken. Does quite a bit of damage and will dizzy your opponent

[@The_Martin56780]

@@StuUngar It's better a Tatsu, since the enemy gets knocked

[@taistealai5523]

@@The_Martin56780 unless you are playing Ken, pretty sure his Tatsu doesn't knock down

[@Goldman_Bernstein]

9 years later and this is still amazing! A true classic!

In the anime Ken is the only one who could stop a mind controlled RYU 😰🙌😱😮‍💨

[@zildog]

In a week filled with misery, this was one the only things I have heard (or seen) that brought joy to my heart. The others being my Bengal... and my wife. Thanks Smooth.

[@zanik7810]

I literally remember listening to the whole song over and over again it's nostalgic! Thanks for the songs and memories, hope you're good, wherever you are now.

Finally! I always thought, 'How can you do Guile's and Ken's theme, but not Ryu!?' :D

[@GameAce6]

Although to be honest, I do prefer the version from SF4.

[@ErikOfSkellige]

This is soo dang amazing I’m so glad I came across it!

[@KiraVisualKei]

I WILL SPEAK OUT EVERYTHING IM THINKONG EVER SINCE I FOUND YOU! -YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW WHO DESERVE TO HAVE A BEARD -YOUR COVERS TAKE ME BACK TO THE 8BIT DAYS, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS JOURNEY YOU ARE TAKING ME TO -I TRY TO SING WITH YOU WHILE LISTENING TO YOU -I WISH ONE TO MEET YOU AND TALK TO YOU IN PERSON -I NOW LISTEN TO YOUR COVERS MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL OST -I AM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT GAMES YOU PLAY NOW, AND CONSIDER THEM GOOD -YOU ARE A GOD THANKS FOR EVERYTHING SMOOTH!!!!

Ideas for different songs: 1. Super Mario 3D World Main Theme 2. Super Mario Kart Title theme 3. Mario Kart 8 Main theme 4. Mario Kart Stadium Theme Like if you agree, Smooth, you are awesome!

[@Madmagicanman1]

...I'm sensing a theme here XD

[@martian25]

Madmagicanman1 Yeah...this guy must be really into Call of Duty!

[@MusiKube_]

Guys srsly, look up these songs and imagine it in acapella from him

[@denver4664]

I don't think he does songs as new as Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8. Those two aren't gonna happen.

[@Pablo77Tattoo]

Sos un genio! Es increíble los recuerdos que vinieron a mi memoria con esas canciones.

[@vitorgames9366]

sensational I even got goosebumps listening to this song once more but now in vocals good job congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@riversmith6785]

Hadoken spamming = best way to win and to get your friends to hate playing this game with you

[@BlackINKim]

Or at least until your friends learn that they can jump and block

[@TheBIadesman]

Hadouken spamming gets you nowhere. It's extremely easy to dodge especially if they spam it. Make sure you jump and smack them in the face with your foot when you get close enough to teach them a lesson.

[@MaXiMux87]

oh the blisters... if there's any1 that never got blisters playing SF (mainly the turbo editions), go home and be a family man!

[@-ninjanOodlez]

What a scrubby thing to say. Even casual players can jump and punish. I'm a filthy casual.

[@TheVGViking]

MaXiMux87 I've never gotten blisters playing SF. But then, I wear gloves whenever I play on a pad, and I've never heard of anyone getting blisters from using a stick. Mind you, I've heard, and seen someone chip a nail/break a finger from using a stick.

[@MrMikeMike]

best music for 2014

[@Golyszulat]

Volume of different "tracks" are so well balanced, I think its better to listen than any original (in-game) version. I love how the "beatbox" bassdrum reaches down to about 40Hz, it gives to the music such a good "momentum" (Sry for bad english) I listen to your SF2 Acapellas frequently since I discovered them.
