Ultra Street Fighter II The Final Challengers - Evil Ryu Arcade Mode (World Warrior Difficulty)

World Warrior is the highest difficulty for this game, so there's some difference between this video and other playthroughs I've seen which are usually on Normal.

[@ArctheLadder]

Feel free to insult or praise this game, but I cannot care less about whether this game is "the right price, lazy, whatever." I got it as a gift and I played it and enjoyed it. There are worse things in life than playing a game you didn't like.

[@ArctheLadder]

There was some nerd up in here complaining about how the sprites or w/e about the game was this and that. They don't have any real shit to say about the game, so I added my general thoughts about this port since it's popular to hate on it for being low effort. To which I say, they don't have any real complaints about Street Fighter lol.

[@ArctheLadder]

This is just the catch all, otherwise it's just comments on the internet. It just needs to be said cause some joker always thinking they're original.

[@mementomori8791]

Why do all evil versions get a tan like that? Something about UV rays that make it badass?

[@ArctheLadder]

Cheap way of making it evocative of a physical/emotional change in Ryu. I didn't mind Street Fighter 4's take on it, minus the fact it's an overall shitty reference to the Japanese Street Fighter 3 comic, Ryu Final. Basically, Ryu's turning into something like Akuma, who's depicted as a fighting demon/Asura/Ashura. An entity that has a shady morality and a fixation on something superficial, usually fighting and hurting people for its own sake.

[@ArctheLadder]

Less about plot, Ryu with killing intent is "I don't like losing and am mad" Ryu.

[@normanharrison8215]

I don't understand why people are so mad about him. Evil Ryu is not the fairest tool to measure skills, it only need to be good at shooting fireballs and DP with prediction. if you want to see Ryu focused on melee like footsies and throws then go watch SFV.

[@ArctheLadder]

norman harrison I’d more say that if you want to see fighting that more resembled squaring up or something closer to reality then, I dunno, street fighter 2 really isn’t that. But when you do see footsies that resemble that in ST it’s impressive to me because it’s a game where the projectiles and normals are all incredibly fast lmfao. Other people are doing that at a slower speed, watching people play N Ken well in this game is a feat. And other characters do it as well but this isn’t a game with neutered specials or normals in terms of speed so it’s hard. This is just me playing through arcade mode, what you need here is just an understanding of how the CPU works cause you’re just solving a puzzle.

[@normanharrison8215]

@@ArctheLadder Oh wow I didn't really expect you yourself replied at this comment after few years passed. I just wanted to defend you from all those "fighting game masters". Ryu is zoner, very obvious, and Evil Ryu is just dark copy of him. but why all those people salty about using fireballs and DP? idk. I've read your comment. yeah you beat shin akuma on arcade, and that's just all good.

[@ArctheLadder]

Oh, I'm just glad anyone leaves comments that are interesting. Like, when folks dislike "Hadoken Spam" or whatever, I'm like, what else is Ryu going to do? lmfao. Because it's just like you said. I just wanted to say, this isn't anything to do with you saying anything wrong, I just think in their defense when you see like, a karate man and a pro wrestler in a match I think a lot of folks expected something closer to the kind of fighting games we see now where footsies and stand up fighting is much more greatly emphasized. So I can understand folks' ire but it's just lending itself to the adage of "Don't hate the player, hate the game." I like Street Fighter 2 a lot, and I think Street Fighter 3 is also cool. I also like Virtua Fighter and other fighting games, but if folks aren't invested in that I wish they wouldn't assume I'm bad at the game or that I'm playing the game wrong or something. But it's been years, some folks just don't actually like fighting games like that. I kind of understand it, but I think someone would actually need to explain how these games work on a formal level. Core-A-Gaming doesn't care about whether people understand this era of design, for instance, it's just talking about eSports and spectating. And I think terms like "broken" or "balanced", again, they won't explain how "fighting" in Street Fighter 2 actually works. I mean, hell, I actually think Art of Fighting 1 isn't a bad action game, but its reach extends its grasp. Folks should understand how much thinking it took to progress from Street Fighter 2, and how many failures or successes there were. Because it's not appreciated just how hard it is to make a good game like this. I want to talk about stuff like that, but what you're looking at is just my hobby and I still just play stuff for fun. Anyway, long comment and all but if anyone leaves comments on my videos that are interesting I want to respond. Chatting and stuff is nice and I appreciate it.

[@normanharrison8215]

@@ArctheLadder your speech actually inspires me that why SFV turned into like this. it released many years before but I still remember how much I disliked changes. but as you said, when people watch fighting games, multiple projectiles seemed to be only cheap and annoying, as if anyone can do and win with that. even I could sympathize them, as I felt same way when I met opponent pressing those tactics. the point is more about "how should you approach your enemy", and once it is done then usually the game itself leaned to you, in this case, Ryu, his normals are not that useless yet rather static and short. but the real point is that barely half of people care about that. when I feel excited and shouting, "Oh he's getting into!" then my friend next to me is like, "so what? the game is broken anyway. he's just failed to spam." as you mentioned of "broken" and "balanced", when SFII released they never expected something like modern eSports. nowadays there are pro players who make money from it, and people are caring about meta or rather just watching video games, more than actually playing it, like youtube videos many uploaded. as SFV hastily released only because of pros, now the game itself is heavily emphasized for the aspect of "sport" rather than "video game" itself. wall of text that I conducted but this is the main part of my opinion. as you mentioned AoF1, at that time it was just video game which only you and bosses are there. it's rather all about challenge and winning, sometimes inventing new tactics was creative and fun. it's crazy and sometimes unbalanced, but that's what makes old fighting games amazing. now fighting games were never same as before. few years before Nash players created "hit-and-run" strategy, people complained it and capcop just removed it. old legacy, like "fireball zoning" strategies were completely rejected, also Ryu turned into entirely different character, which is much more focused about parry than fireball, way more effectively recognized to be skilled than actually is. the difference is night and day, when Ryu just keep shooting fireball then literally nobody impressed. but when Ryu just parry jumping HK, which isn't that hard anyway, then even my friend is like, "dude that's awesome!". it feels like, the game itself is only intended to impress audiences, only to be looked like "not broken" and "totally balanced" as you pointed. though that alone itself is not that bad, but current version of Ryu for fireball game isn't merely being "discouraged", rather "crippled". Ryu always had have been the character who can limitlessly cast fireballs, and fireballs are strong, that whole logic was intuitively appealed as clear advantage for beginners. that's history. but now his identity is entirely dethroned, and I'm playing totally different character but merely named as Ryu. bottom line, BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO SAID IT'S CHEAP, THEY ACTUALLY DAMAGED CHARACTER. EVO. developers don't want to be embarrassed and accused for making horribly "broken and unbalanced game". and stupid casuals just complain that SFV sucks, then herds would flock in that way, "balancing" out the characters for what it seemed to be "unfair". but it's like, Ryu was always like this, and SFII was always like this. but because of someone who didn't play it even only for 200 hours, they made meme out of it, and actually that changed the entire game design and its direction. I can never play the same character what it once was before, and greatly miss them. idk I also wrote the really long comment but tbh at first time I just tried to make it short because I don't really want to bother you unnecessarily. but since you said that you don't really hate that much for discussing about such subject so I just pulled it off. kinda nice conversation that was, I think.

[@ArctheLadder]

@@normanharrison8215 Haha, long or not when I was reading what you said I was like "Yeah, that's right." I feel like changing Ryu wouldn't be a problem even, it's the fact that, in the case of SFV, so much of what is in that game is because of the logic of "Well, this character was in an older Street Fighter game so we should put them in this game" or "This obscure character can be a reference to an older game." It doesn't, as you say, come off as being designed as a video game but purely as a commodity that tries to take advantage of an old style of design without actually doing any of the work. And that's what feels so cheap about modern fighting games that are iterations/sequels of older games. An eye for detail would notice that there's a real difference between the games of the past and some new titles. And I think until folks really learn to scrutinize elements in a meaningful way, people will just be like "Well, arcade mode has to be in the game because it was in an older game." No one really knows what they want. To your point about character balance and Ryu, yeah, I think whenever I see a character who has a Hadoken/Shoryuken play style, I'm usually preparing myself to groan. I don't think there's been a decent iteration to projectiles in terms of how Street Fighter 2 or Fatal Fury used them and, in some cases, it's hard to feel like what is offered isn't just some neutered and pointless obstacle for beginners to get around. I feel the same way about parrying/blocking in Street Fighter 3. Yes, it's not like Street Fighter 2, but why should anyone care if someone doesn't like the style of gameplay because of personal taste? Yes, you could maybe argue something about strategic depth but I think depth is a meaningless term in and of itself, because games that are simple can be fun and so can games that are complex. Modern fighting games really disappoint me largely because I think criticism is weak and players are just going through the motions as much as developers are. I'm not interested in whether someone can climb the mountain and compete in and of itself, because I like video games beyond just a 1 Dimensional personal interest. Competing, being able to do so is fun but it's not the only basis by which I judge a video game, least of all fighting games, because it's very clear that designers see value in what these old games did. But what is the point of invoking that if it's done poorly? It's not like the audience can always decide, so I totally get being frustrated by people being reactionary. But Street Fighter V in and of itself is a very frustrating game, in my view. It actually amplifies a lot of the weaker parts of Street Fighter 4 in terms of how the cast is chosen, including styles of play that are disparate to a fault... it isn't thoughtfully designed at all. When I see folks complaining about Hadoken Spam, to me it's like, no one's even winning there. The Hadoken isn't satisfying to use if you can be humiliated for just trying to use it and it's not impressive to outsmart something that isn't even useful because it's not a show of skill. This seems difficult for folks, but it's not something that I think people will try to think about if they're trying to justify their tournament revenue.

Honestly, I have no idea, I thought I was picking hardest. It doesn't exactly say what "hard" is and I assume "World Warrior" is some big shot difficulty. This game is based on Hyper Street Fighter 2's Japanese AI, so the difficulty is scaled much lower.

[@ArctheLadder]

World Warrior is apparently the hardest difficulty. Which is what I was going for unless you know something I don't. Street Fighter's AI hasn't been good since Champion Edition.
