I actually thought you would add Street Fighter x Tekken in this video even tho it's non canon

My sister's funeral was today. It was hard seeing all those I care about so hurt and broken by the loss of someone we all cared about and loved so much. I LOVE the Honest Gaming History videos so this came out at the PERFECT time. Thank you so much for giving me something to laugh about today.

[@stefhonsmith6547]

[@terderrer]

With Street Fighter, (and fighting games in general)having dozens of characters with their own lores and stories I really appreciate how you went about explaining things in a way that I was able to comprehend . Shoot I had no idea the games even went in this particular order until now.

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Im really glad you liked the vid fam

[@scottcte]

I have been playing Street Fighter since the early 90’s. Your video was watched from start to finish, and you definitely nailed it. What I love about this video most is your new generation energy and vibe you are bringing to this classic game. I am very impressed. Thank you for creating a comprehensive video throughout the generations.

Super well put together! SF was my break out game that’s literally grown with me into adulthood. Starting with SF2 for the SNES. You did a great job with your research, and got me even more hyped for SF6. You sir get my sub.

As a newcomer to the SF series this was a much appreciated and entertaining overview of the lore

[@infamouskid6413]

Your honest gaming history lessons have been missed🙏🏽

[@koholos]

Really impressive. I’m usually not a big fan of people doing comedic asides in their explanations, but yours were actually mostly funny and fit pretty well with the rest of your tone. I also liked both your thoroughness and trying to help keep track of what is and isn’t canon. I mean, I’ve played most of the games and still have no clue what was going on, so this was great. I am bummed that when you pointed out that Balrog is a Mike Tyson ripoff, you didn’t also mention that in Japan his name is actually M Bison, but that probably would have added yet another layer of confusion to an already confusing mess. I tried checking out the rest of your channel, but I don’t read a ton of manga, so there’s probably not much for me. But I’ll definitely subscribe in case you do any more videos like this. It was pretty fire.

[@brianthongkham6268]

Bro! You got a new honest subscriber. This video is so perfectly well broken down and the humor is perfect! Thanks for this video. I needed this version

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Thank you so much fam

[@djshaneelliot]

I devoted hours to this game as a kid and never knew 90% of what you presented here. Fantastic and compelling recap. Well done!

[@darktigersharkmax4432]

Binged it while it was live and my god what an amazing video easily worth the wait learned lots facts about characters and thr story I honestly didn't know. Now obviously not every single fact about the story and characters were included like Vega's backstory or Dan might've beat Chun li in a fight but that doesn't harm the quality of the video overall and it wasn't even that important to the story in the first place. As for the ending theory I'm honestly thinking JP is bison's or another experiment that's funding the neo shadoloo, since all the members are bison clones and other experiments, I think he's gonna possess all of them at once and use the collective psycho power to rule/destroy the world and assuming this is the case Bison's plans are already looking like it's in full swing since his psycho power is looking way more powerful with brand new abilities but yeah I would prefer the illuminati became the next major antagonist like in 3rd strike. Once again fire video and easily one of if not the best Honest gaming histories you've done and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

[@dawanlloyd9791]

Hey easy on my man Sagat! 😂 He lost the first fight with Adon because he wasn’t completely healed and was too focused on Ryu and the one he lost in SF4 was because he allowed Adon to win out of pity for him.

[@Nobody-707]

My dad used to talk about this game all the time when I was a literal toddler and I basically grew up knowing about the game and actually played one of these at VERY YOUNG but never learned the lore.

[@TylerBraun-c4m]

That's an awesome dad right there.

[@CaptainDiagram]

The Street Fighter 30th collection states that Akuma fights M. Bison during the second Street Fighter tournament in Akuma's character info, so that's probably the canon ending.

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

That's what I'm thinking too

I enjoyed it and actually found some things out I didn’t know(which was surprising to me since I’m a SF historian) only thing is confused about is I always thought Alpha came before SF1 ? 🤔 🧐

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Thanks fam. And it seems like it since in Japanese it's called Street Fighter Zero, but everything Ryu does in that series is after his first Sagat fight

This is a SPECTACULAR timeline summary. Thank you for all of this dynamic work. ONE QUESTION: do (or, how do) the Street Fighter comics from Udon and the animated series tie in?

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Thanks so much fam. And from what I've read, the UDON comics are not-canon. They're kind of like what-if stories that expand on character lore, but a lot of it contradicts the game lore

[@JusticeForHire]

@@TheBlackMastadonte Ahh thank you brother. that’s disappointing to hear about the comics. Capcom needs to hire you as a story manager.

[@Mucmaster]

Lee from Street fighter 1 actually comes up a bit as a background character. He's the uncle to Yun and Yang and is the one who taught them martial arts, and its implied he was a friend of Chun-Li's father. On top of that he may be Jamie's father, this is very tenuous, but an early leak and listed the new characters and called Jamie, Yun and Yang's cousin, then 6 months later the trailer dropped revealing Jamie and Chun-li and there was a character artwork leak confirming the new comer leak so its valid info, but at the same time the official profile on Jamie just says he was inspired by Yun and Yang so the relation ship may be a familiar one or the leaker could of misconstrued some information or the characters background could of changed between the leak and the reveal.
