STREET FIGHTER...The Bad One: Ken Legacy - Street Fighter '87

[@_Adie]

I STILL can't believe they looked at this and went "Yeah, this deserves a sequel" But I'm glad they did

[@DjPolystation]

Actually, Final Fight was supposed to be the Street Fighter's sequel. It was meant to be called "Street Fighter '89" and it was renamed due to the bad reputation of SF1

[@Pixelchanchada]

Well believe it or not, ppl liked this game back then. Even though it looks terrible today, there wasn't anything like it back in the days (at least not with this graphics)... so a sequel was pretty much a demand from the arcade owners. The guy who created this game quit just before SF2 started to be made and was hired by SNK to develop Fatal Fury, a game that has its similarities with this one (a fight based on powerful special moves).

[@terracottapie]

@@Pixelchanchada : correct answer. This seems primitive compared to modern fighting games, sure... but it's 30+ years old. At the time, people were lining up to play this. It's unbalanced, it's insanely hard AI, and the controls are awful... but it was really revolutionary because of the concept and the look of the game. Not hard to see how it could spawn a sequel with some tweaks to the gameplay.

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

They said this needs a sequel

[@divinityryder500]

Well you have to look at it from the perspective of 1987. Fighting games were pretty much nonexistent and this game probably made a LOT of money. Also there was a version of SF that used a pressure pad of sorts to determine attack strength. But it was expensive and kept breaking so they adapted it for buttons. Which is probably why the controls are so fucked up.

Who cares, a shitty game is a shitty game, and will only be lauded as shitty. If it's your first try, either learn from the criticism or don't. They did learn, and made an incredible, innovative game because they did. You get nothing for going easy on something because it's the first one. Participation rewards are not acceptable when it comes to video games.

[@saezir]

@@Ender41948 I think he meant than even as shitty as it was, it was a stepping stone for fighting games. If you play fighting games of this era, you'll see that most of the stuff that we're used to now wasn't as obvious then (ie: combo weren't always there, you had to press a direction to turn your character if the opponent was behind you, ...) It always seems way shittier when you have the hindsight of years of polishing the genre. Doesn't make the game good but it gives its relative shittyness a context.

[@Ender41948]

@Nazareth Hagane Not sure why you put the quotes around your own statements, but at least you're open about it. @saezir The thing is, this is far from the game that pioneered fighting games, and I'm using it in that context. This was another arcade game no one played because it made no sense, and the mechanics were on the same level as Dangerous Streets (Not AS bad obviously since one, this came first, and two, Dangerous Streets had even less memorable characters.). Street Fighter 2 was what happened when everything this game attempted was polished and simplified, and it did wonders even if it dd age poorly, it's obvious the effect it had on the market and practically introduced the genre in the mainstream. This was a poor attempt that laid the groundwork in the loosest sense, but that still doesn't make it good, back then or now.

You start off with Ryo, Robert, Marco Rodriguez (Later Khushnood Butt), and a young kid Muay Thai fighter named Rocco(who was later on became Rock Howard). It was a very limited release back in 1987 and it was somewhat of a sleeper hit. Ever since it was remade as a one-on-one fighting game , it's original source code was lost so that's why it's impossible to find. Loss of the original source code is the reason why you can never find The AOF spin-off Buriki One nor Fatal Fury Spin-off Daraku Tenshi: The Fallen Angels on any system or console. SNK was very bad about keeping the source codes to their games back in the 80s and 90s. The guys that made SFI left Capcom for SNK and help remake AOF and Help made Fatal Fury..

I just read an intriguing personal story about the arcade version of this game and realized one thing: this was intended as one of those arcade games that demands player stamina and body strength. The only meta that was also a brand new idea back in the day was the special commands. The only information you were given was that stronger you hit the big punch and kick buttons, you could perform stronger attacks. Special moves can do ridiculous damage, but they were suppose to be secret. So I suspect the reason why the console version controls terribly is because they didn't know how to translate this arcade game to a less "physical" format.

"Counter Hit of the Reversal Edge! FADC into Focus Attack into V-Trigger and we're done" I think he mentioned like 2 or 3 fighting games terms. Awesome

[@gogejaja6731]

I love this guy... he not only shares a love of Street Fighter but he's so funny he's like a Street Fighter commentating Deadpool 😆😄😆😄😆

[@RoseDragon777]

21:32 If anyone remembered the last time Max played Street Fighter '87 with ryu and gone against sagat, let's just say history somehow repeated itself. Lol

[@Shiirow]

Geki is Vega, Mike is Balrog

[@Shiirow]

Max has re-written history, it is now Ken who dragon punched Sagat for the win.

[@KenMasters.]

In Street Fighter Alpha 2: Geki is also Rolento, Balrog is also Birdie. In Street Fighter III 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future: Geki is also Ibuki, Balrog is also Q.

[@zackschilling4376]

That Sagat laugh is strangely close to Ganons at the end of Zelda 2

[@zeroone156]

I'm pretty sure Eagle did come back in Alpha 3 on the PSP

[@dnmstarsi]

Yeah but he first came back in CvS2 then Alpha 3 on the GBA.

[@brentacomoose]

I can't tell if Max is trolling us or not.

[@DoctorUber]

I'm sure he means he wants eagle to come back AGAIN, which I'm sure alot of people feel the same too

[@KenMasters.]

And Mayor Cody stole Eagle's swag in SFV

[@popartfiction9130]

Interesting bit of trivia regarding Birdie's background art. "In the England (Birdie) stage a poster for 'The Velvet Underground' (a cult 1960's rock band) is clearly visible alongside another poster for 'Ian Dury and the Blockheads'. The Blockheads were a popular British pub-rock band who disbanded in 1982 but reformed in 1987 for a tour of Japan, two months before the release of this game. A third poster advertises 'Ristorante Donnaloia' an expensive Italian restaurant in Kobe, which still exists to this day. Also on this stage the name and likeness of at that time Capcom USA Vice President of Sales and Marketing 'Bill Cravens' is grafittied on the shutter in front of the 'Block Heads' pub."

WHAT STRENGTH BUT DONT FORGET THERE ARE ECHO FIGHTERS LIKE YOU ALL OVER THE FGC

[@Ryfinius]

if you stare at sagat's fireballs they look like " :) ".

[@KenMasters.]

My fireballs look like: " :D "

[@JadenOmega]

How they thought that this game's ear cancer was music is beyond me, especially Eagle's and Sagat's stages.

[@Distortia1994]

Jaden Omega Well, compared to what was standard at the time, this is actually quite nice. It was a world of single beeps that cut out whenever a sound effect needed to be played. The sound effects were also single beeps.

I remember playing this as a kid at Pizza Hut. This game was hard as fuck. I could barely get pass the first fight. I didn't even know certain characters were even in this game until I played it recently in the 30th Anniversary edition.

[@EBT93]

So, are we gonna see Street Fighter 2010 since Ken is, technically, in that game?

[@retrozaid1600]

EBT93 yes max will stream it

[@EBT93]

Retrozaid I better keep an eye out for that stream

[@omegaslothman394]

Don't be too hard on it, for the time it looked pretty great with some monster sprites, it just had ass controls. To see how they used this foundation & evolved everything is truly wonderous, be thankful it was just about popular enough to squeeze out a sequel, rest is history! 👾

I'm sure you knew but but to those who didn't Lee is Yun and Yang LEE's uncle.

[@solonsaturngaming3727]

Man four characters long gone in SF history while most of the rest did come back in future titles Adon Alpha games, Sagat SF2, Eagle SFA3Max, Birdie Alpha and SFV, ryu and Ken well we know where there in.

Imagine if Street Fighter 6 ended up Nintendo exclusive.

And Little Mac and Incineroar were guest fighters.

Capcom isn't suicidal

[@josejulio491]

Well... not as Crazy as SC7 becoming Nintendo Exclusive, I can see Link, Marth and Shulk as characters, maybe even Aegislash

Ironic I JUST watched the Street Fighter Legacy you did not two weeks ago. Glad to see Ken getting love and another great series.

[@lyrand6408]

The damage in this game reminds me of the damage in Killer Instinct (original). I.E. one combo (in KI) could literally bring you to 10% HP, that game's balance was honestly pretty bad in retrospect (didn't care about it at the time though).

[@junglezone7323]

But thats a combo. Here one low kick does like half of your health

[@mykr0324]

Yeah at least in ki it was dependant on your execution and being able to initiate and not drop combos. Damage in sf1 is just weird, why would you make a fighting game where 2 to 3 hits kills you lol. If you're going to make the damage that high they needed to at least remove projectiles
