Street Fighter II Credits Compilation (1992-1994) - NintendoComplete

A showcase of several variations of the classic Street Fighter II series' end credit roll taken from games released between 1992 and 1994.
The endings were selected based on the variations of the theme song, so while not every game is shown, the various mixes of the track (that first appeared in the 92 arcade SF2 Champion Edition) across arcade and home platforms are.
Versions that featured the same mixes as already shown were omitted (FM Towns, Sharp x68000, et al). The remix from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix was also purposely omitted because it's f'ing awful in my opinion, and is nearly 20 years removed from the rest of the games shown. Ditto for the PC Dos version of SSF2 that Capcom published themselves. It plays alright, but the sound in that version is a trainwreck (I believe its merely a conversion of the SNES music to a format than can be played back using a generic FM/midi patch set to accommodate different sound cards).
I have uploaded full playthroughs of all of the titles shown. To see them, you may either click the game's logo at the top right of the video, or visit my Playthrough playlists for the various titles.
The SNES version of the Champion Edition original song appears in the SNES port of The World Warrior, even though the arcade version of The World Warrior uses an entirely different song, so that's why it's ending seems so different. Street Fighter II Turbo (SNES, 1993) features the same credit roll as the other games labeled Champion Edition and the same music as in the SNES World Warrior port.
I love this song! It was always a fitting reward for destroying the CPU over and over again - this credit roll would only show after the ending if you beat the game at its highest difficulty level without any losses over the entire game. Not an easy task, especially against SSF2T's mercilessly cheap AI routines. I didn't mind not seeing that ending too often though, since the music from the Super games was always a bit too cheesy, cheery, and reverb-soaked for my tastes.
The versions as they appear in the video:
1. Street Fighter II' Champion Edition (1992, CPS1 arcade)
2. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1992, SNES)
3. Street Fighter II' Champion Edition (1993, PC Engine)
4. Street Fighter II' Special Champion Edition (1993, Sega Genesis)
5. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (1993, CPS2 arcade)
6. Super Street Fighter II (1994, SNES)
7. Super Street Fighter II (1994, Sega Genesis)
8. Super Street Fighter II Turbo (1994, CPS2 arcade)
9. Super Street Fighter II Turbo (1994, 3DO)
I hope you enjoy it!

Hello to everyone who bought SF2 on the SNES when it first came out as a kid and had the time of their lives. The game was the hottest thing at that point, and everyone in the playground was talking about it. It cost a fortune but saving up pocket money/birthday money for it meant we could get it. What a time to be alive :)

[@Soubertetika91]

I was à little french kiddo back in those times to. My big bros whooped my *** all the time I had absolutely no skills hahah good times anyway 🥰🥰

[@kriever]

It was very difficulty to see those ending credits on SNES.

[@shadowghostization]

I played SF in 1992 and i play SF in 2024, to be honest kidz these days are not made for such type of games >BRO

[@cruz25617]

This theme is incredibly nostalgic, but also saddening. To me personally, it serves as a final goodbye to my childhood. A remembrance to what used to be. The young, naive, optimistic, blissful ignorance to life. Living a fantastically fantasy lifestyle of imagination and wonder. All that mattered was being in the moment, simultaneously while also reaching the next stage. I'd like to believe the child still lives in us somewhat. It was just kept on the sidelines. Allowing for our adult side to take over from then onwards. But whenever we pick up a controller to play our favorite retro game, we can finally allow that side of us to be free again. (With an adult twist). So maybe it never was farewell. But more so a, 'see you later...' Yeah. ❤️

[@thenostalgiabusiness]

I swear to god, the first time I got to these credits on SNES at 10 years old, the exact thing you described was what I saw. I thought it was so awesome and perfect, it must be how the animation always plays out. But then I got to the screen again a few times and was disappointed to see that that wasn’t the case. If someone was able to capture that exact same scenario though, maybe the fight isn’t completely random and they just programmed in a few different scenarios?

[@user-cd5qd1qu1t]

For some reason,I'm moved to tears when listen to this song

[@RedMageR90]

This theme ALWAYS makes me cry... Sweet memories of me and my little brother playing this game over and over, making the poses of the characters, laughing and having so much fun back in the day! Sweet sweet childhood! 😭

[@MrSuper667]

The original credits music lifts my soul every time I hear. Beautiful

[@moseslalmuanpuia8988]

This was a special time. For me it was that special spark that we all shared. The feelings of innocent blissful naivety, the strong passionate heart, the hope we had that we could make the world a better place simply through hard work, great ideas and a pure heart, giving aid to any who needed it. The times when each setback no matter how severe it was, was healed by breathing fresh air and seeing the blue skies. Back when we still dared to dream of bringing peace and happiness to the world. There was nothing we novices couldn't overcome if we did not give up, in the future we would have our chance to change the world. The radiance of lives born from the stars, the happiness shared by brethren, the flames of conflict that arose from ambitious hearts grown too cold. There is no difference in the weight of daily lives; the new life would become accepted. Our hearts would open the door to the world and we would go on living, together with one another!

I'm amazed to see that many people are one way or another moved by this theme, for me is the nostalgia of my teenage years playing this game with the other kids in the neighbourhood; also because it felt awesome when you got the special ending by beating the game without losing any round and all the kids gathered around you to watch it. Beautiful times!

[@bazzjedimaster]

The initial credits theme always kinda sounded like a graduation theme, like the game is aknowledging you have reached an important treshold not only in the game but as SF player in general.

Rough tie between the SNES (World Warrior) and PC Engine (CE) versions as favorites. The SNES has their weird flute-like instrument over guitar riffs that is just to die for. Amazing tune that translates well to pretty much any sound setting.

There was nothing as satisfying as hearing this music. Friend: "Hey, I got an A on my math test." Me: "Is that supposed to impress me? I just kicked M. Bison's ass on Level 7."

Ohhhhh yesssss

[@Brand2Tiny]

I really love the PC Engine version of SF2. Not for preference, but the capabilities it had! It's technically an 8-bit system, and having SF2 on it just shows much power it had. The Hu-Card it came with had to be a bit thicker to fit this game in! Yes, the music isn't the best, but it's not the worst. The voice samples out shine the SNES and Genesis, and... what else can I say? It's just a shame it was never given a U.S release. (Also, those who say it's a 16-bit system, well, yes and no.)

[@NintendoComplete]

Brandon Hollingsworth I agree. It's my favorite port of the game from the early 90s. The Turbo was a good example of how bit counts really didn't mean much. I mean, 8-bit or not, its processor was blazing fast compared to the old lady speed of the SNES's CPU.

[@elefsidi]

Such a bummer, that this incredible port didn't make it to the TG-16 mini.

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

I agree, and had never heard the PC Engine version before, but it's good. On another note, the last 4 names of the characters in the PCE version are all messed up, don't know what's up with that, though.

Fun fact - M. Bison was originally the name for Balrog. It was a play on Mike Tyson, as the character was, of course, a boxer. They decided it was too close for comfort, so made the end boss M. Bison instead.

[@rugessnome3828]

I used to get this creator ending in the arcades by getting all perfects if i remember correctly. It was easy to do if you got a hold of the arcade version called Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition, Turbo Hyper 2. It let you cast unlimited fireballs non-stop, and you could jump, throw a fireball, jump do it again, and continue climbing the screen out of picture and reappear again but cant be touched. We did this so so many times.

[@Mr_G_s_Route_66]

I believe this music, is the basis of my favorite music taste... I like the DJ's SmK, DJ Ness and DJ Harmonics, as my favorite kinda style. It's more advanced then the SFII End Credits, (as sound-tech advances too) but i dare to believe somehow, the basics are the same. I'm not a DJ, so don't know for sure. It was my concious choice in my early 20's not to become an Electronic Music Maker, but a Writer. However, in their songs, i recognise these artists's sense of extremely polished narrative, in an instant. It reminds me about the way i build narratives trough text in a written piece, or story. I believe, if i developed myself to become a DJ, it would exactly be like SmK, and i think, if these DJ's made the choice to develop their writing-skills, they would use the same narrative build-up trough text, as me. I believe, we are the same artists, developed differently, and that's why it resonates. If true, then this melodic badass-tune, was the foundation, for both type of artists... Advanced DJ's using the basis of this tune to evolve, advanced writer using the basis of this tune, (narrative) in it's written pieces. If i recognize the same artist in their music, would they recognise the same artist in it's writings? Well, they will if they read a true story... Got to have a special place for Capcom in my heart because of this. Always will. It's such a defined developer in it's field, (the best) that what Capcom creates, is a consistent form of digital, unique art. ✌️
