Street Fighter II Various Intros

[@samcz1784]

Another reason why I miss the 90's. I still remember the shock of seeing Street Fighter 2 on the SNES.

[@PolishMuscle1981]

I remember getting that on the SNES - it was so amazing!!

[@artofmore7197]

That intro will trigger the heck out of people today.

[@ztoxtube]

Hell, even back then the Genesis version whitewashed it.

[@fattomandeibu]

Pretty sure it was less to do with that and more to do with the Mega Drive being limited to 64 colours on screen at once. EDIT: Or maybe not, huh. Just checked the Japanese version. Wow, people are sensitive.

[@themetavirus]

It's easy to see why. The entire crowd along with the guy in the shirt is white except for the one getting punched.

[@shorba14]

imagine now

[@soun59]

Always funny to see people complaining about how people are censored today when they realise that censorship was even worse back then.

[@jazzandfunkequalsjunk179]

shoot.... that was my last quarter.... .......... ................ -_-

[@DinahoftheRailroad]

I wish I could go back in time when I used to play this game at the laundromat by my grandma's house and my biggest concerns were getting more quarters to play. Good times. Guile forever!!!!

Racism I tell u what

[@baconcatsizzle]

I've been trying to find 2:19 for SO many years. Glad I finally found it!

[@edwardgaines6561]

Ryu's DOB is 7/21/1964? Damn, I wonder if he's still fighting in his 50s?

[@thedredayshow9246]

The street fighter series takes place in the 1990's according to some street fighter enthusiast.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Kuma Gamer I actually liked that they put in birthdates. But Ryu better not break a hip!

[@-Ryu]

Oh yeah, he definitely can fight in his 50s to his 80s

[@ShyGuy83]

Keep in mind, this game was released in the early 90s, which means Ryu, and all the other characters would have been in their 20s and 30s at the time.

[@agusgolturbo]

I see you put the best at the end so we have to see the full video...smart guy.

[@zombiejlt1]

I think it would be awesome if you did this with the other SF games, as well with all the Mortal Kombats, Killer Instincts, and Virtua Fighters cause this video rocks and I would love to see others like this. Great job!

[@MDthornton83]

I always enjoyed the opening theme from Street Fighter II. From the time I first discovered the arcade back in the early 1990s, I knew that I was playing a game that I would remember for years to come. And its music is unforgetable two!

[@machewgun503]

Yoko Shimomura is without any doubt, the best videogame composser from japan of all time

[@JuiKuen]

@Akujitsu I know what you mean. I remember those sweaty summers on holiday playing this game and other arcade games. Its just not the same anymore. Wish I could go back to those early 90s :(

[@dunnono00]

The Genesis one is at such a low volume setting... Which is a pity, because Special Championship Edition or Dash Plus as I think it was called in Japan, was possibly the most accurate conversion in terms of music. Interesting how they put more detail into the Genesis intro compared to the arcade one.

[@ultimatesol]

...and then, a legend has began..

[@HiAdrian]

Very cool!

[@rockstar5274ify]

This intro never gets old

[@chaseman94]

Reminds of weekends at the grocery store while my mom shopped for groceries.

[@cloudstrife1983]

Brings back memories.

[@Pioxys]

I always did loved how it stared off with that white and black guy in the intro and yet they wasn't in any part of the game.

[@marios15CL]

Recuerdo maravilloso cuando fue amor a primera vista.

[@buntysunty3567]

I really miss those days. I still plays on my Android phone.but those days and times was different

[@EscherSketcher]

0:44 I remember Guile's standing flash kick. Cheap move CPU... cheap move

[@Brundle006]

Awesome

STREET FIGHTER 2 THE WORLD WARRIOR STREET FIGHTER 2 CHAMPION EDITION STREET FIGHTER 2 TURBO HYPER FIGHTING STREET FIGHTER 2 HYPER FIGHTING

[@David315842]

You forgot STREET FIGHTER II DASH.

[@doggiegunner]

damn its almost been 20 years now! feels like yesterday. times passes fast

[@McQueen8601]

@WuAgent That's because the Genesis' main sound chip (Yamaha YM2612) is quite similar to the one used by the CPS-1 (Yamaha YM2151). They're both FM synth chips, while the SNES music is sample based.

[@zerolines75]

man these games sure do take me back to the good ol days of Snes playing and also the baling sound from capcom

[@bmzpower]

nobody could fuck with me when I had Chun Li

[@bewleyberry]

''Winners don't use drugs'' hahahahaha This used to be on all the old arcade machines back in the day.Wish i had of listened lol

[@eravsito]

7:20 :O! is the best version of street fighter ;O! I like the intro... I got this in my family lol.... I still play it couple months ago :D

[@Gildedbutterfly1976]

Soooo many memories.

[@sunwukong86]

I love it how those characters arent even in the series

[@David315842]

The Turbo Hyper Fighting intro comes from the Japanese arcade cabinets.

[@danivalencia11]

Great video!

[@gouhibiki]

Man, I love these intros. Really nostalgic. Also, Flowchart Ryu at 4:38. Hadouken, Jump Kick, Sweep, Repeat. XD

[@Hanedan1912]

wonderfull :)

[@TheTornadoChaser]

I love how the opening for street fighter II plus, champ edition shows vega fighting but his health bar says he is balrog.

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIPKIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

"Winners don't use drugs" 😂 Charlie Sheen.

[@AlexStrife89]

My god, don't you just love the intro to the first SFII game? It just tells you you're about to play a kick ass game. :)

[@YoungLos_5]

The World Warrior on the SNES is where it all started for me!!

[@HellaEdward]

damn, watching these videos almost makes me wanna cry, reminds me of the days my cousin and i would walk to the Pizza Hut that was about a 25 minute walk just to play Street Fighter..

[@dunnono00]

@XiaochiCat That would be the beta of the Sega Genesis version. I've heard it said that Japanese players sometimes call Street Fighter "ST". Here in the states, we use that to denote Super Street Fighter II Turbo ("Super Turbo"). Don't know if it has any bearing on that title screen, but there you go.

[@Mitsubachi2529]

Ahh , so many fond childhood memories.

[@Hillthugsta]

You have a valid point there.

[@Royal-uo7tv]

I'm surprised that you people didn't mention of what I just found out: The Turbo: Hyper Fighting's SNES intro is based on the Japanese Arcade version of Street Fighter II: Turbo?

[@David315842]

@blueswan1984 The Turbo Hyper Fighting game was the Japanese intro for Hyper Fighting. On the character select screen, you would notice that when M. Bison is selected, he is called Vega, his Japanese name. The Street Fighter II Dash Plus game isthe Japanese title for Special Champion Edition on the Mega Drive/Genesis.

[@figment1988]

i have the tiger electronics handheld and it's more like a "meh"

[@BEastmix]

I used to play this in the arcades as a kid. It was only 20p per play!! They were the good old days. Loved this game.

[@gilbertblaze]

This is great!!! I love Street Fighter heard they bringing it back cant wait!!

[@GAF1987]

I had Champion Edition on Mega Drive (Genesis)

[@thaismagalhaes5928]

All those years and I still hear Guile saying "Alex Full" instead of "Sonic Boom".

[@baconcatsizzle]

Or "Sonica Bull" 🤣

[@David315842]

Hyper Fighting is the non Japanese intro, the Turbo Hyper Fighting intro is from the Japanese cabinets.

[@BlackPopeye44]

I always wonder about that building in the background with the SFII sign. Is that where people go to sign up to be a SF? Are the two guys outside fighting because they're mad they didn't make the cut? If we go inside will we see Cammy, T. Hawk Dee Jay and Fei Long signing up for next year? Will we see Akuma getting rejected which what made him so mad he that he beat the brakes off Bison in SSF2T ? LOL

[@megamanfan85]

ahhh you cant go wrong with streetfighter!! takes me back to the days of going to the arcades by the seafront and fighting your way through hordes of teenagers just to get a turn! good times! =)

[@Movies_With_Migs]

i loved the music!!!! i didnt have it on snes, but when special champion edition came out for sega, str8 arthiritis!!!

[@ProtoFalcon07]

"Winners don't use drugs" LOL haven't seen that in years! I still got my SNES version of the World Warriors & The New Challengers!

[@GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

for me, the snes intro is the most nostalgic

[@SMAXZO]

Well those two guys are actually from the first Street Fighter game.

[@DubaiSunBoi]

lol @ the last intro . i believe that this was the first attempt to bring Street Fighter II as a home video game.

[@eskeleto702]

I always thought that was Joe vs Mike from SF on the SF 2 arcade intro lol..!

[@kAEdEbOURGUEtt]

the last one touched me... about your question, "how r u supposed to do special moves when there are only 2 buttons?" it's answer is that down+a= special first power and down+b second power, and up+a third power, if that was the case.

[@MDthornton83]

The main differences between SFII World Warrior and the two other editions is that the title in World Warrior opened with a black background. While Champion Edition and Turbo opened with a blue background.

[@AyeOkNowFuckOff]

ooooooooooh my god, my eyes cry. iM REM THESE IN MY DAYS. THANKS

[@gamelot12093]

i whistle the first one every day. Also when I was 10, 28 yrs ago, I came very close to beating Guile with Dhalsim by using the corkscrew repeatedly.

[@David315842]

@Nubecuube It'sthe other way around actually. You would know this by seeing when M. Bison gets selected in the Turbo Hyper Fighting intro that he's name is Vega which is his Japanese name.

[@SuperStarly212]

The creator of this video forgot New Challengers. But this is still a very cool video.

[@LeonsVP70]

Tears...

[@linkieloos]

You'd think after all these years, he'd be able to block or dodge that punch...

[@SuperKiroChan]

The SF Rainbow edition is a hacked version and not part of the official release. The same goes for the Red Wave and all the other modified ones.

[@MaximusDread]

when I was little, I always thought guile's champion edition portrait was ugly as hell. Anyway, thanks for the post and the cute Ibuki pose.

[@invrunner]

"On the Sega Vers., the videos were kind of laggy but I didn't know how to fix the problem, sorry for their quality."

[@Thecolemineexpress.]

(Fun facts) those 2 guys in the intro are mike and joe from street fighter 1.

[@Jsgbbgsj]

The best forever: Street Fighter II': Champion Edition (Arcade)

[@detfan93]

I still love the turbo Snes edition. I found that one to be my favorite.

[@BaronOfBacon]

Nice video.

[@JuiKuen]

I like how on the NES version, the guy with the chicken in the background is taller than the fighters! I also forgot how bad the sound was on the Mega Drive version!

[@coolguy681]

Nice vid.

[@441129]

WOW... so many memories! Super Nintendo baby!

[@daniel7899999]

I used to go to the local convenience store in my neighborhood and pay 25 cents to play. I always used Ryu. It was my favorite game ever.

[@blastprocessing1]

SNES and arcade Street Fighter ftw.

[@nemond331]

God I remember being a little kid playing on super Nintendo was my first street fighter

[@rwk360]

The Sega version was the only home cartridge version that had the punch scene in the intro. Why? The Super Nintendo and PC Engine (Turbo Grafx-16) both were missing the punch scene. Of course, all rereleases on PS, Xbox, etc. have the punch scene.

[@Animefanful]

The most interesting thing is that guy in the NES version in the background. He looks like he's been caught stealing that duck or something. GUILTY! LOL

[@MDthornton83]

I think a good birthday present for Ryu would be either a new headband, or a new pair of fighting gloves.

[@hihosh1]

well said, I agree

[@Palmroxx]

They were supposed to be representing the characters from the first SF, Joe (The blonde) and Mike Bison(aka Balrog; but Capcom changed stuff so Mike Bison and Balrog (M. Bison in Japan) are not the same person.

[@alucard624]

Wow, the NES version at least attempted to be like the SNES one, so they get some credit for trying on that one.

[@David315842]

OK so we're clear on this the Street Fighter II Champion Edition Plus and Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting Turbo are both Japanese games.

[@Joelypoo7]

Hey, you're right. The character select screen is like the UN! Balrog is Kofi Annan!

[@piercingpencils_art]

I miss the sound bites when Ken and Ryu were soooo passionate and angry yelling their moves. They sounded like Rand B singers when they said Hadouken.lol

[@DraculaMarth]

that's just the stage music for Guile, and i agree it is an awesome track.

[@kurojin97]

AAAhhh hahahahahahaha lmfao @ 7:35 never saw that one before.....

[@isuruspaucus]

More infos ;-) : DeeJay is the only character created by Capcom USA. "MAXIMUM" is written on his pants cause you can read it even when his sprite is reversed (like in a mirror). Not like Sagat who loses left or right eye, and whose scar on his chest is moving, depending on the side he is standing ^^ Ryu's victory quote from SFII, "you must defeat Shen Long to stand a chance" is a bad translation from the japanese, which gave birth to Ryu's Master, Shen Long/Gouken. Thank you Capcom USA ^^

[@1983parrothead]

If the one on the right is Joe, and if this intro was originally going to be used for Final Fight (formally titled Street Fighter '89), while his look in this intro resembles Cody's (protagonist of Final Fight), then perhaps Joe and Cody are the same character. Their curved jumping kick attacks also look alike.

[@HebrewGamer100]

the sega genesis did so much better at porting the music n sound of the arcade version than the SNES.

[@Revidescent84]

@4:10- What's he running there, a good D cup or so? lol He needs a BRO, al a Seinfeld! XD

[@Fr1es.]

The black guy and the white guy should be playable 🍗🍗🍗🍗

[@1983parrothead]

If that's Joe from SF 1 on the right, then let's compare Joe's curved kick with Cody Travers' curved kick. They are probably the same character. In fact, this intro was going to be used for Street Fighter '89 (now known as Final Fight), which also stars Cody Travers.

[@heyitschristianyo]

when chun li does the spinning bird kick why does it use like a machine gun noise

[@DraculaMarth]

let me build upon what IbukiSF3 (who made this awesome video) said. In Japan, Balrog is called M. Bison, but to avoid lawsuit (M.Bison sounds similar to M. Tyson, or Mike Tyson, so it was changed as such and the other names (Vega=Balrog, and M. Bison=Vega) were as well
