"WHAT STRENGTH!! BUT, DON'T FORGET THERE ARE MANY GUYS LIKE YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD"

I love how they incorporated these characters into the later games

Worth mentioning that the first version of this game's cabinet featured two massive pressure sensitive buttons; one for punches and the other for kicks, the force applied to the buttons would determine if its a light, medium or heavy attack. Needless to say this proved to be problematic due to damage to the machines and injuries to the players, so Capcom later came up with the now familiar 6 button layout standard.

The original Street Fighter, now this I consider a fine piece of arcade/video game history. This game sure has come a long way. To quote a chorus by the legendary singing group New Edition, "This is where it all started from".

After Ryu lost his shoes, he achieved his true potential

It’s a shame this game never got a sequel.

10:15 The scar was given that moment.

This is what started it all...it truly was revolutionary! Tough but awesome! Of course today the controls seems un-responsive....but they were fine back then!

The graphics in the first street fighter game looks amazing. 😀👍🎮

9:41 Sagat’s laugh is hilarious 😂😂😂

I will never forget that I have amazing strength, and there are lots of people like me all over the world.

It's amazing how much Street fighter 2 overshadowed this!

Oh look, it's the Street Fighter game where EVERYONE sounds like Charlie Brown's Teacher when they talk.

I remember this game at the arcade. It was super difficult.

*_"You Have Earned The Distinction Of "King Of The Hill". But Remember, You Have No Time To Rest On Your Glory, For There Is ALWAYS Someone Waiting In Line To Knock You Off The Top. Be Prepared For PROPANE And PROPANE ACESSORS!!"_*

When I saw this game for the first time, it was like seeing my first Alien Space Craft. Beautiful and amazing all at once.

"Tailand?" Where's that located?

Looks great for 1987

Street fighter 2 was the biggest jump from this

If Ryu failed to karate chop the bricks, Ryu: Oh no! Crowds: BOO! BOO! BOO!

The music in this game was always epic

If you were to fly all around the world and defeat multiple fighters from different backgrounds. I wonder what the actual odds of each one telling you the same thing is?

This game seemed so much harder when I played it in the arcade as a kid.

The dragon punch is too overpowered. Ridiculous.

I remember that Addon was so, so, much harder than Sagat with those flip heel kicks. God that first game was the bomb punching those big rubber bottoms in the Arcade. Right on. So cool to watch this.🎉

WHAT STRENGHT!! BUT DON'T FORGET THERE ARE MANY GUYS LIKE YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD

It is wrong to says that I like SF1 more than the sequels? It has his quirky aesthetic I like. What would be SF without the first one? It is overshadowed by its sequel. 1:36 Ninja get wrecked in 9 in-game seconds 3:10 Not Balrog. 5:24 This music is so good! Dat organ! Also, Gen the jumping martial artist. 6:35 Second favorite music. Why they didn't keep Birdie that way? And he get wrecked in 8 in-game seconds. A record. 7:23 British cop with double sticks. Least favorite music of the bunch. We beats a cop who think the Karate guy is a outlaw. 8:28 Hello long nose. 9:02 Wow, he is immune to attacks with one pose! 9:20 Hey, it's Sagat! 9:39 First lose! 10:34 You outlasted the best!

You know what's funny, the only other time the Hadouken and Shoryuken are *ever* this deadly in a single strike...is when X is using it. And it's only because Dr. Light made it possible. Just how strong WAS that man???

If there’s a game that needs a revival , it’s the first Street Fighter . Give it the respect it deserves.

"Try again Kiddo"

Very primitive, but revolutionary for its time.

Con questo street fighter ci siamo nati e indimenticabile e il migliore anche con i lottatori.

I remember the original Street Fighter very well because I played this game a lot in the arcades. But the last time I played this particular Street Fighter game was back in July 1995 in a small Newfoundland town called St. Alban’s. I never played this game ever again because I couldn’t find another video arcade especially in Sudbury, ON that hosted this game. I’m certain that this game is gone forever which is sad.

I don't suppose the guy punching a hole in the wall is Luke's father.

Those voice samples🗣🗣 are incredible 😃😃

The one that started it all!

The moves are actually the same as in the other games, just harder to pull off.

i loved thos game at the arcades when i was a kid. that machine was a quarter vacuum

The dragon punch is heavily powerful (especially when it makes a bullseye hit). A classic one on one arcade game.

I remember re-enacting this game on Zero 3 free battle using Ryu... i just substitute Dan for Retsu, Claw for Geki, Cody for Joe, Boxer for Mike and Yun for Lee

I just noticed that SF1 Ryu looks like Hwoarang from Tekken.

It’s a miracle Capcom was able to improve upon the foundation Street Fighter ‘87 created! The original Street Fighter is fun to talk about but unless you’re EXTREMELY curious about it like I was there’s really no reason to play it compared to the many versions of Street Fighter II and later SF games; it’s the definition of growing pains.

Hillarious even to this day people think Street Figher 2 is the first one in the series.

This game never dies

I always new Ryu was special. What I never realized is he was a Japanese ginger.

0:03 for Terry Bogard’s first appearance. Also, after this game, Sakura Kasugano (who was inspired to start doing street fighting as a hobby thanks to the events of this game) would later go on to fight Lee (who’s nephews - Yun and Yang Lee - we’d end up seeing in Street Fighter III) before the events of her Alpha 2 story.

They should remake the orginal street fighter with an interactive storyline.

it is no secret that street fighter 1 is absolute garbage but its the birth of the legendary fighting franchise and its many copycats when SF2 came out the difference between it and 1 was night and day and it was such a behemoth hit that it seemingly erased 1 from existence

This game was hard as f. I remember playing this on TG16. Great characters though and I wish they would bring them all back using the SF2 engine.

Trouxe minha infância novamente pois hoje em 2023 estou com 43anos e na época que jogava tinha 11, foi uma nostalgia!!

What is with the staff names

WHAT STRENGTH!! BUT DON'T FORGET THERE ARE MANY GUYS LIKE YOU ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Street Fighter (I987) would serve as a forefront for many elements that still remain in place today: ~ The concept of having different languages for different characters that was made popular in Street Fighter IV first debuted here; Ryu says English versions of all of his specials in the International release, while the Japanese version has the native cues for Hadouken, Shoryuken, and what I jokingly call "Tekbakisprilliyukyen" ("Tehk~Bahki~Sprillee~Youk~Yen"; in reference to Peter Griffin's take on Tatsumaki in his fight against Washee~Washee); other games did this on consoles at the time, but I cannot remember a notable enough title from the '80s that did this in the Arcade space and thus I commend Street Fighter for being one of the early leaders on this front. ~ OHKO (One Hit Knockout) scenarios are incredibly rare in the Street Fighter series unless a player intentionally increases the Damage Handicap, something that would become mainstream thanks to future integrations by Sega (Virtua Fighter and Sonic the Fighters), Namco/Bandai (Narutimate Hero series), and Mugen (030% Health Cap), among others; while an OHKO Shoryuken is very much unlikely in today's entries, the concept that you could do ludicrous amounts of damage in one hit is why Handicap systems exist today, it can either be used to challenge the player or even be used for Blitz Matches and Speedrunning to make play a bit more concise. ~ Street Fighter '87 suffers from the same issues that Guitar Hero 0I and II endured when they were released, and it is a matter of the Method of Input Execution, rather than solely Input Precision: To do any Special in this title, not only do you have to be fast, you have to make sure that a Diagonal is not pressed in the sequence, otherwise you'll just have Ryu and Ken throwing punches and kicks the whole time; this made the title and its PC Engine CD port (Fighting Street) very friendly for Keyboard users to pick up in the era of Emulation, it was less likely that you would do a Diagonal on a Keyboard when compared to a controller's Directional Pad and the issues with this is part of why I feel Street Fighter II allowed for a more relaxed way to execute Specials while also loosening the Time Window for it too; this would be addressed with the first game in the form of the Mugen port Street Fighter One, it helped finally bring it into the Modern Era with many elements of Super Turbo that it can live a healthy life among current players in a better spotlight. ~ Minigames to serve as Interludes and also a way to relax the hands from the major action proved essential and existed at least up to Third Strike; if this didn't exist, I suspect that Repetitive Motion Injury would've become more of a problem for players back then, it was smart for Capcom's devs to let the player take a bit of a breather so their hands wouldn't get damaged or outright fail on them and it pretty much became and industry standard for the genre in some form or another. There's obviously more elements that I could mention but these are the ones that I feel made the biggest differences on the series and genre outright; while I feel more needs to be done with the first entry (a Definitive Version with SF++'s features and also an attempt to finally bring the remainder of its roster into a new entry, for example; if not for VI, then it must be done in VII or later), it will forever be important to the franchise because it served as a learning point for Capcom in how to make a Two Dimensional Fighting title feel more responsive and also become successful, this title truly does have a charm that every future entry from II to VI ultimately lack and wishfully more will give it some good attention in the years to come. (:

I had this game on my Amiga 500 back in the mid 1990's. The box cover art looked awesome 😺👍, but the game itself was bad 😹! Luckily, i completed it once 😹😸👍.

The rounds can be over so quick it feels like you spend more time watching screens than playing the actual game.

through me back the childhood time

Strange that this was never on the home systems. Capcom certainly could have capitalized on the craze that Street Fighter 2 generated. People couldn’t get enough of fighting games. Even crappy ones.

The original Street Fighter didn't age well compared to the second.

When at the end screen it was written "But remember" I thought it was going to continue with "there are many guys like you all over the world".

Sagat's stage BGM is painful to the ears.

This looks really good for '87...

Осень 1990 года, город Иркутск, игровой зал на улице Иосифа Уткина, 30. Одно из самых интересных впечатлений детства.

Obviously the AI is on the lowest setting & the power is on max..This bring back memories beating the hell out those big red cushion buttons.

I really wish this game had a remake or a better edition just like street fighter 2 have tons of versions

2:12 "U F A?" 4:22 diner?

Street fighter fue lanzado en 1987 es el primer juego de peleas comenzó como por un jugador pero hasta al año 1991 street fighter 2 la verdadera revolución en las salas de arcade de los 90 todo un éxito la gente que jugaron está época le encantó a muchos marcó una generación hoy en día sigue homenaje la tradicional de juegos de peleas gracias a las personas que la mayoría aquella que jugó un verdadero clásico se ganó el cariño de los niños y jóvenes en su época la década dorada de los videojuegos.

I remember playing this when it had the 2 huge pressure sensitive buttons. The harder you hit the buttons the harder Ryu would kick/punch. It was unplayable!

You know like when Sagat beats you and starts laughing his face looks like he's crying in the process of doing it.

Tuổi thơ của mình 😭

gotta love how fireballs take half a bar of life lol.

Happy 35th Anniversary of Street Fighter!

Street Fighter 2 was such a big.......improvement!

Mike Tyson just hanging out at Mount Rushmore, as you do.

Miss my childhood😢😢😢

You're good at this game ! But don't forget there are others players like you all over the world !

LOL @ Sagats face on VS screen

My favourite fighting game of all time!

Played SF after I played SF2 as a Kid in the early 90s. The funny thing was I didn't realize I was playing the first game probably because I was too interesting with Snow Bros that was being played by Teens so I just played SF to passed time and wait for the teens to stop playing Toaplan Snow Bros. Also Retsu with his eyebrows reminds me of the fighter that Jackie Chan fights with the hammer in drunken master who also had big eyebrows.

I was hella mo'ded when I found out that Skreet Fighter started back in 1987. I love any and everything Mario and Skreet Fighter.

I will never forget that their are many guys like me around the world

Why do I remember that they were fighting on a train, in Mike's stage? Mandela's effect?

Awesome 👍💥

昇龍拳と波動拳の破壊力は凄まじい。

0:32 wait did retsu just clip into the background when Ryu defeated him

I didn't know that the Original Street Fighter has a 16:9 aspect ratio? is this a mod?

Ryu's angsty days when he dyed his hair red. :)

龍的繡花鞋也太可愛XD

It took longer to add up his points than for the fight to be over

DAMN, Video Games are more interesting than I thought they were.

Very nice.

CREI QUE CONOCIA TODOS LOS STREET FIGHTER Y ME ENCUENTRO ESTE JUEGO JAJA !

OPの壁に風穴空けて背中向けるヤツは誰だったんだろう？

サガットよりアドン 空中回し蹴りは昇竜拳かまさないとダメージ喰らう ある意味では最強

When Ryu was a ginger lol

My Fricking Ears!!! LOL

DEAD in two hits? What the hell am I looking at?

Here for street fighter 6 ? Can’t wait!

we just discovered how to consistently make the special moves come out with ease🔥🔥🔥 fellow street fighter nerds will have a new love for this version once they learn the secret!! hit me up😎

Jesus Ryus damage is insane

The road to Street Fighter 6 begins here. Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto's last creation before joining SNK and then Dimps.
