Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers - Violent Ken Playthrough on Max Difficulty

This is a capture of me playing through the arcade mode of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers for the Nintendo Switch. I'm using Violent Ken and playing on the highest difficulty level: World Warrior.
Normally I just upload Street Fighter II playthroughs with Ken only, but since there's a new variation of Ken for this game, I decided to play through the game with him as well.
Violent Ken is similar to standard Ken, but he moves much faster and has a new teleport move. He's basically a glass cannon, so you have to be careful about getting caught in dangerous combos. Overall through, he's basically overpowered because of his juggling abilities and the fact that his dragon punch can beat pretty much any attack head-to-head. I probably could have beaten each character simply by pinning them in a corner and spamming dragon punches as they got up, but that wouldn't have been very exciting to watch.
In this video I played through the arcade mode on the highest difficulty level without losing a single round and faced Akuma at the end. I also enabled the classic graphics and sounds since I prefer them over the new stuff.
Even though I completed this on the highest difficulty, this game isn't that difficult overall. The AI was much tougher in the Super Nintendo versions of Street Fighter II, not to mention the original arcade versions. But even so, this is still a fun game.
Recorded with the Elgato Game Capture HD60 and the Switch's HDMI cable at native 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. I'm using a Real Arcade Pro V Hayabusa joystick.

Thank you for this It was hard finding footage of Evil Ryu or Violent Ken in the classic style I was curious how they looked

2:07 I like that win pose

Announcer - ULTRA STREET FIGHTER II: HOPEFULLY THE FINAL FUCKING VERSION!!

[@xCurvx]

Very nice dude! Close rounds against Blanka and Ryu, but you managed to win in the end. Keep up the good work!

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

Thanks. I'll try.

[@nyannyeko695]

This reminds me of how my dad would finish Super Street Fighter 2 with Ken or Ryu, I would play as cammy 24/7

[@winterpurple4587]

I love this classic graphics. Been searching for videos like this! But they should have muted Ken's voice in his "violent" form. Him having normal Ken's voice ruined the dark feel.

[@topsykretts3926]

Snk vs capcom has the best and unique version of violent ken... This one is RIDÍCULOUS!!

[@miguelskinnynavarro1629]

topsy crets I'm agree

[@Biggrittz]

I use chun li and now Violent Ken instead of regular kern cuz Online Everyone uses the Evil Ryu or Violent Ken. And they very OP so I use them now LOL

[@armix1390]

violent ken from snk vs capcom chaos 2003

[@LittleMissGrosser]

Violent Ken reminds me of a white haired Michael Jackson

[@honestinsincerity2270]

For the life of me I cannot get evil ryus super move to work.

[@senpaiteamgaming2388]

One question tho, why does Guile's Sonic Boom sound like from the original Street Fighter II?

[@davidcuevaslopez5586]

Senpai Team Gaming i know right

[@markdawson4292]

maybe because she way sonic boom is said in SSF2 series sounded fucking shit? like unmanly...or helium sucking or chipmunkish?...no?maybe? hmm...suck out helium from a balloon and say sonic boom...enough said

[@Jerry_SSBB]

For a guy that is supposed to be and look like a badass, having a helium voice would be a total downgrade. The change in Guile's voice was introduced in Super SFII Turbo HD Remix, I think?

[@Phoebe5448]

Nice!

[@Biggrittz]

I try to play as everyone though but I'm only really good with some

[@robkrasinski6217]

Is this the first arcade port for a Nintendo system with arcade music? This and the anniversary collection have the original arcade soundtrack.

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

It is.

[@michaelalameda2002]

16:11 oof. I guess there's no need to achieve 3 perfects anymore.

[@tunkunrunk]

can you play with dhalsim , zangief and balrog on max difficulty ?

[@danielleite9819]

Except for the fight against Akuma, I expected this of a "normal" Ken...

[@michaelstroman6759]

I really don't like the normal Ken mainly because his voice sounds gay☻☻😂😂

[@robkrasinski6217]

To me the 1up street fighter cabinet is not worth $300 bucks. The anniversary collection has all the street fighter games 1 and 2 and is in stereo. The 1ups are mono with one speaker.

[@gamingmadefresh7624]

true dat,yep 1 up sucks!! I took mine back and got my cash flow back.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

They should also include Ray McDougal from Fighters History, and make a cracked out version of him like they did with Ken and Ryu!

[@sterlingattaway5225]

I doubt many people know what Fighters history is.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

sterling Attaway alot of the people who grew up playing Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury back in the 90's even in the 00's know what Fighter's History is. If they know all of the Capcom and SNK fighting games, they will know what Fighter's History is

[@sterlingattaway5225]

@@Armando.Sepulveda oh ok dude 👌

[@kingsley2837]

tetsuyanamamura That was a fuckin terrible game! No one gives a shit about that game! 🤮 It was an insult to Street Fighter 2

[@steveaceves6214]

My Favorite Character Is Ryu He Is Awesome 😎🎖️🏅🥇

[@blankman9243]

The SVC chaos version of violent ken is a lot devilish than this..

[@alcardespear2446]

What? The ending is HD?

[@Lupo32]

Svc chaos did it better

[@LuisSotolusoto80]

I find Grand Master to be harder, I've reached 1.9Million points on World Warrior, but cant get over 1.1Million on Grand Master. I think they messed up on the difficulty selection, try it & tell me if I'm wrong lol

[@mega-mangodofwar5542]

Ken Máster, the better fighting 💪💪💪

[@fizzarolig69]

You can play max but barely know his combos? Just his spams

[@tunkunrunk]

you're playing classic style , make some combos sometimes

[@Juddosm]

Do you think t.hawk is very hard to control

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

I don't know. I never use him.

[@Juddosm]

me neither but his moves look kinda hard to eject or something

[@vivahernando1]

Some Honda he’s slow and his power moves are hard to pull off under pressure. Basically he’s Zangief with an air attack move

[@Juddosm]

Exactly

[@focuspugilist673]

it seems you know how to cheese the a.i at times.

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

Of course.

[@focuspugilist673]

@@WatchmeplayNintendo whats the most generally exploitable cheese you use? i find moving forward after a fireball would make the a.i stop blocking at times.

[@WatchmeplayNintendo]

Often times it's just pressuring them with a fireball so they jump over it or block it.

[@charltonbolden9356]

What!

[@bi4702]

Since both kens are on Street Fighter then wouldn't they be considered violent Ken?

[@hdofu]

I've seen mugen violent kens I'd call crap that have more effort put into them then this adaption of Violent Ken. Did the developers watch Street Fighter II the movie or Play SVC Chaos?, cause this game doesn't suggest yes

[@icebroken3029]

Fight

[@gamingmadefresh7624]

it's not as hard on Nintendo as it is on the ps4

[@blastardinc]

Typical lazy capcom.

[@cameronnebraska6049]

SVC was a horrible game tho....
