What people seem to not realize about the home version is at the time, the ONLY way to play Super Turbo at home was on a 3DO. Most of us didn't have a $700 3DO, so Street Fighter The Movie was basically the only way we could play a facsimile of Super Turbo. My local arcades didn't have Super Turbo, so I couldn't even go to the arcade and play it. It was either Super SF2 on SNES/Genesis, or Street Fighter the Movie on PS1/Saturn. The home port of SF Alpha wasn't out yet, either.

[@StreetfighterTips]

@@vandad13 I found some information to give context behind what happened to Raul Julia: Raul had stomach cancer for three years and had undergone surgery for his condition. In 1994 he reportedly ate sushi while filming in Mexico. It gave him food poisoning for which he was taken to a hospital in Los Angeles to treat. After recovering he returned to Mexico to film but was noticeably weaker and thinner. In October that year he was taken to hospital again after feeling intense abdominal pain, but insisted on working from his hospital bed. He then had a stroke, fell into a coma and was put on life support. Sadly he died four days later on October 24, 1994. Man... just reading that troubled me. Imagine if he survived and lived to see the 2010s. Things would be so much different on the Silver Screen. 😢

I was the exact same. I grew up in Japan and spent most days at the arcades. This game was not popular in Japan and quickly left the arcades but I thought all the crazy combos and jankiness was fun as.

[@kyubihanyou]

6:27 Considering those were the same Japan-based, English speaking actors Capcom used for the original Resident Evil (Chun-Li was Lynn Harris [Rebecca Chambers], Ken and Guile were the late Scott McCulloch [Chris Redfield]), I'd say you hit the nail on the head with that synopsis.

@@dcb99filmz An archived talent agency profile I've found notes her having played Chun-Li Zhang in the Street Fighter series. The same profile also notes her being the movie dubbing coordinator in the Japanese-exclusive G1 Transformers PS2 game released in 2003 (Transformers: Call of the Future); a role that goes completely uncredited in-game, so its fairly reliable. To my understanding, those who first came across this and similar profiles in the early 2000s erroneously concluded that Harris played Chun-Li in Super Street Fighter II, when in reality she did the voicework for Chun-Li in the game adaptation of the movie (adaptation of the *original* game) instead of Ming-Na Wen. This is why this hasn't been common knowledge until now. Finding McCulloch in Ken and Guile comes naturally when you know that you're looking for talent from that part of the world and have that frame of mind.

You just pulled a damn near lifelong splinter out of my brain. You get a follow.

They spoke of it in passing, but I do wish some specific technical achievements were brought up. One of the biggest is color. Those were 256 color sprites (compared to MK's 64) and it shows - just look how perfectly they captured Kylie Minogue's famous gams. When you consider almost everything else right up to and including CVS was still stuck with 16, it's pretty impressive to this day. Even KOF13 sprites only push ~128 colors each. I'm also really surprised nothing was made of the terrible downgrade in animation on the console versions. The arcade had tons and tons of unique frames, as they mentioned sometimes too many. The home ports are a choppy mess with what appears to be four frames max on any given animation and reused sprites all over the place.

Super Turbo was released on DOS PC in 1995. It was a very, very good port. And when compared to SSF2 on SNES / Genesis it was the better game too. Better visuals, sounds (maybe not the music) and gameplay than the 16 bit machines. It wasn't arcade perfect by any means, but it was far easier to get hold of over the 3DO version. I also had a 6 button controller to play it with, so control wise, I wasn't saddled with just keyboard controls.

I'd still argue that the console versions deserve to be in "That'll be just fine" or "Legit good". If the only thing holding it back is that Super Turbo/Alpha exist, then it's only a matter of context. Then again, Super Turbo was Arcade/3DO only, and Alpha took a year before coming to Saturn & Playstation. In absolutes and in a vacuum, the console versions of Movie make a good fighting game in 1995 with slightly misguided presentation, and seeing it next to Shaq Fu and Ballz 3D is pretty harsh. Someone with Movie as their first Street Fighter game won't be fooled into thinking the rest of the series sucks, because the gameplay is damn near identical with some elements added and others removed from a not very accessible version. I'm living proof of that. It's the only thing I don't agree with though, it was an excellent video otherwise.

So, any plans to cover _Street Combat_ for SNES? Apparently, when it came time to localize _Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle_ for the US market, the publisher threw up their hands and said, "We can't sell this, no one has ever heard of this show!" and decided to make a completely generic set of replacements which had the same fighting moves but no explanations for their quirky fighting styles. Given that the original game was generally considered lackluster, and was only interesting due to the licensed characters, this did not make for a good gaming experience. Apparently, this was compounded with the Australian localization, which kept the original character designs but changed several of the names, and added some bizarre character background material in the manual which was entirely unlike their backgrounds in the series. A more direct localization for the US did eventually come out, but was only marginally popular. It is the _Street Combat_ version which is notoriously bad.
