The History of The Four New Challengers ! - A Street Fighter Character Documentary (1993 - 2022)

[@mkfreak89]

I really liked it back then when they introduced these 4 new fighters to SF2 what I didn't liked are these new sound effects they added in Super Street Fighter 2 I mean the hit sounds, they sounded way better in the original SF2 World Warrior.

Hi TopHat. Just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what you and your family are doing through. You'll pull through this. Everything's gonna be ok.

[@naejimba]

... what? What happened? =/

[@borrellipatrick]

@@naejimba Check out Lady Decade's channel. Guy got upset and had this channel frozen and demanded compensation

[@darrencarle77]

@@borrellipatrick They got caught using someone’s IP and cried about it.

[@naejimba]

@@darrencarle77 , so I looked into this, and what they do falls under fair use law (called fair dealing in the UK), because their content is "transformative" in nature offering commentary and/or criticism. They are not breaking any laws and this other person has no case. However, you can abuse claims of copyright infringement on youtube (as it highly favors those trying to accuse others) to have their content taken down over and over, and even if it gets put back up you lose most of the views you would have got (aka money). This person making the claim is basically shaking people down for money as there is no way they would waste their own trying to take something to court they know they would lose. This type of person takes advantage of people who don't know the law and are scared as well as youtube's flawed policies.

I want to see Fei Long again in Street Fighter 6

[@92JazzQueen]

You should add the bonus information about Cammy in the English dub being made a former lover of Bison who lost her memory. Which again makes it even more icky when you find out she's a clone of his. Even though it's non-canon, people still like to play with the idea due to how much story potential it could bring.

[@YeldellGW]

Prefer that over the clone nonsense tbh.

Sonny Landham (who played Billy in the first Predator film) would have been perfect casting as T. Hawk in the SF movie, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if the character was based on him.

[@eddylex4921]

Yes originally instead of Dee Jay there was a Mongolian fighter who was a head swap of Fei Long but they were not brothers. He had a long pony tail and had the same move set as Dee Jay. As far as I know there's never even been a illustration shown of this character in any of the Street Fighter art books. Also in the development stage Cammy's name was "Sarah" and Thunder Hawks name was "Geronimo"

[@Lupo32]

Since fei long is Bruce lee Wouldn't it make sense that the Pallet swap be Bruce Lee's rival actor Bolo yueng ?

[@eddylex4921]

@@Lupo32 That would have been cool. Here's hoping some day we get to see what the Fei Long swap character actually looked like.

[@nichhodge8503]

I got the Tom McGee reference (not English wrestler Scott McGee, good friend of Dynamite Kid who was also in WWF at the time) in 1986 he had a match with Bret Hart with Bret making him look like a million bucks and Vince went that’s my new Hulk Hogan! Only problem was he lacked Hogan’s charisma and couldn’t wrestle is his life depended on it (he could do a standing back flip though) and Vince McMahon for some reason didn’t catch on to the fact it was Bret Hart who done all the work in the match with Tom making him look good. So few months later Vince McMahon saw several other Tom McGee matches with wrestlers who weren’t as skilled as Bret Hart (or Dynamite Kid who Bret Hart says is the best pound for pound wrestler ever and Dynamite Kid was in WWF at the time as part of the British Bulldogs with cousin Davy Boy Smith) and finally saw he couldn’t wrestle nor did he have the charisma needed to captivate the audience like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock. So Tom McGee did one match for TV, the Bret Hart match (rest of his matches were done at house shows with no TV cameras) and was never heard of again

[@nichhodge8503]

I always felt the original Mortal Kombat was more like Enter The Dragon With it’s private island and an old boss who ends up to be a better fighter than his looks portray him to be

[@akay6241]

Cammy was my favorite of the bunch

[@brittislove]

another fantastic video!

[@jmc2830]

"it would be redundant to include a pair of twins in the game that utilize the same fighting style"... no, obviously having 2 characters in a STREET FIGHTER game that use the same fighting style would be unthinkable... i mean... come on.. the entire series rides on the back of a duo that are more or less a pallet swap. well, they were originally, but then again. so were yun and yang but throughout 3's life they gained more personalized move set's just like ken and ryu did over the years. personally, i think yun and yang SHOULD have been the ryu and ken of sf3. they would have broken the idea that ryu and ken HAVE to be in every game and it would have given them a way more flexibility in the future. we could have had fighters like sakura or sean fill there role as shoto's but it would have allowed the story have more potential because the "main duo" could have changed with each numbered sequel proceeding it. with the numbered games acting as generations, since capcom love's to release new iterations of the numbered games anyway i think it could have worked well like this.

[@nichhodge8503]

I love the 1994 Street Fighter animated movie, what 13yr old boy can forget the Chun-Li shower scene then the fight with my favourite character Vega (Akuma is my favourite character now with Vega in the number two spot) and I also like the Street Fighter IV animated movie too! Much better than the disappointing live action film with Jean Claude Van Damme which was piss poor and had everything messed up! Balrog a good guy, Victor Sagat…Victor??? Ryu & Ken are con artists for some reason and Blanka who everyone who played the game knows is called Jimmy not bloody Charlie! Charlie is what the script writers were snorting when writing this film!!!

[@hamodhossain4261]

9:02 you wanna know why the movie switched the role of Balrog from being a bad guy into a baby face good guy ? because the original game was from Japan , but the movie was made in USA , and USA ( as every one knows ) they always want to show that American guys are always the good guys & the best heroes , while Russians & others are the bad guys & the enemies , so they end up making the boxer a good guy & Zangief is the villain , and they also switched the hero from being ( Ryu ) the Japanese guy into " Guile " the American fighter , & Ryu all of a sudden became the side character instead ,, again , proving my point .. Guile was always the side character , he was never the hero of street fighters outside the movie to begin with , but the agendas must play its way around

[@greenkoopa]

The Turok games, I believe Prey (video game) hell the movie also...

[@Kardinaal29]

I never understood why they made T.Hawk and the Thunderfoot Tribe from Mexico. All indications seem to point to him and the tribe being Natives from New Mexico or Arizona. Does anyone have info on why this is?
