I mean its funny but its true. Its ironically idiotic to program select to select a character.

@At Me 666 gesture

This entire revelation from the video to your remark blew my balls off. I'm floored, so glad to still discover stuff about my favorite game.

Afterburner theme...

Fun fact: Yoko Shimomura (the composer of the epic SF II themes) would later go on to compose for Kingdom Hearts

Ken = Maverick

Even further, it WAS originally Guile's theme until it was switched to Ken's in fear of lawsuitsn

James is a rebel lol

"Saget, or Sagat"

As in Ryu as Ry- you

yo i said the same shit. lmao

I thought it was only me, I'm glad everybody is pissed for that

cool, who cares other than mega dorks on the internet

Seems like someone is trying to hard in been edgy here.

@@capscaps04 "trying to hard in been edgy" - gratz on mangling the English language

Maybe he forgot after ten years? Being a family man can do that to ya.

@@QJ89 "being" a family, wow

I regret trading a lot of my Dreamcast games into Gamestop back in the day (GigaWings, GMOTW, Cannonspike, Samarai Showdown etc.) but being a SF fanatic I'm glad I kept both the Streetfighter 3 titles.

It is a good game I just wish it added all the characters like "Hyper Alpha" did

I heard the DC version had input lag, the ps2 ports pretty solid though.

its so good on redream

up until recent years , street fighter 3 third strike on Dreamcast was usually $60 or less You cnt go wrong with getting it for the ps2 / Xbox that has super street fighter 2 turbo and third strike for less then $20 used even to this day

I believe that Chan said Bruce was incredible

I've heard this before. So cool that two legends had a moment like that and one of them was able to share it with the world lol what a funny and surreal moment it must have been for Jackie Chan. They are both treasures to mankind.

Get Turbo HD Remix for the 360 on the Capcom Digital Collection hard copy before this its lost forever....

Usf2 is broken but fun.

Try "Hyper Alpha" on PS2

"turning into"

@@larzarus1234 lolll

Dad life man it just changes you completely 😩

@JacksAbschaum There was nothing wrong with the sentence, he was saying "only turning into? He's always been that".

To be honest James had stated many times that he was always more into movies than he was ever into video games and how he didn't really care for video games after the Snes era. So in realty he's not much of a gamer although his main persona on the internet is based on it.

SF was originally called FF...or was it the other way around?

TBF: That wasn't common knowledge until a few years later.

He never played Alpha it seems

jimmyju76 the other way. Final Fight was originally called “Street Fighter ‘89” James even mentioned this in the Street Fighter 2010 review.

Isnt obvious that he meant access to SF characters to play as in FF? That would be dope. Using Blanka for Final Fight

Same it's a good game I just wish it added all the characters like "Hyper Alpha" did

They reacted exactly like I expected them to "This is a nice looking game, but I don't know what this is. Who are these guys?". But, a part of me was hoping they'd be like "Hey, this game looks cool, let's do a few matches, with this one."

@@zanpakutoman4225 They wanted to stick with the games they were really good at!

@Mr Heck Good work on being a douchebag.

am i the only one who prefers 2nd impact?

Which is funny..because he says this consistently on all his videos. Though he can say "Nintendo" when not used in conjunction with "Super." Been this way for as long as he's been reviewing.

It's a SE PA regional accent, not a mistake.

“Jame” Rolfe - Brandon Campbell

"Oh hey its that boundary break guy" :D

I once heard that they originly wanted his pants to read MANTIS but changed it to MAXIMUM for this exact reason

Very good anecdode!

@@golden_eldorado M A X I M U M

@@golden_eldorado O and Y also.

I had hyperfighting as a kid and never knew this i just always wondered why anyone would play on that

And hyper fighting is on the genesis champion edition as turbo mode so in both cases you got both versions in one

@@geeksgamesandgears2369 Incorrect, Hyper fighting edition actually added more features on top of CE and Turbo editions of the arcade. This is why it says SF II Turbo: Hyper fighting on the SNES title screen. You'd have to do research to find the differences but they are there nonetheless. Both are very similar tho.

Same. I remember saving some of the most legendary replays to my memory card

If I remember correctly, smashing the light punch while ducking could also knock him out of it.

There were a lot of random normals that had priority over psyho crusher but they aren’t consistent across versions and ports.

@@someonesane I always used Dhalsim's spinning drill moves. The timing was tricky but it worked great. Even when I was having an off day I could just teleport. So cheap but when it costs money, cheesing is acceptable.

Precise low punch and hadoken also.

You had no chance against it on Alpha 3 it took half your health bar away when he hit you with it and even blocking it you still took a chunk of damage

Oh, Street Fighter II is certainly a good game, but it is VERY easy to underestimate how influential it is when every fighting game since has done it better. Just look at Street Fighter III: Third Strike or Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition from the same series.

They *lived* through it's initial release, I think they know how influential it was.

It might be more of their lack of understanding of how SFII evolved on the consoles over time since James was more of an MK fan. There are tangible things that SF fans know off cuff that would change their outlook considerably.

Absolutly. There is reason why 3rd Strike still has large devoted international community.

Is it anything like alpha? I loved alpha

Awesome soundtrack too

I love that game, but a minor gripe I had was the background stages seemed to get less imaginative in Third Strike. Also, second impact was native widescreen I think?

I’ve only played a small amount of Third Strike and I agree it’s awesome. Very pleasing game to look at.

He was top tier in sf2

In a game where reaction-time is extremely important, the fastest moving character will obviously be one of the best, if not THE best.

I'm more of a Ken player myself. Seriously, I will always go for Ken in Street Fighter after how good he was in Smash. It helps that I'm a scrub and Ken is very easy to pick up and play. Now, if only I could do a Shoryuken on command.

It's not that bug of a deal m8

@@user-ve5ym5ok6g well...

@@user-ve5ym5ok6g I didnt say it was. I said I was endeared. That's a good thing.

Kyle Ferguson ok Kar-aisle Fer-goo-sun

Yo, I'll turn 31 in 14 days and it's similar for me. Except I think I'm actually decent 😂

31 here too lol big street fighter fan!

The older you get, the more impossible it becomes to be any good at SF. It requires lighting fast inputs to pull off any combos.

Agreed. MK 1 and 2 didn't age nearly as well as Street Fighter 2, particularly Super SF2 Turbo.

MK relied more heavily on precision of button combos, whilst Street fighter was more on the fluid inputs. It's quite subtle the differences.

Thank your lucky stars you did multiplayer on Super Turbo. The computer is damn near impossible to beat on that one.

Third Strike blows them all out of the water

I disagree. Street Fighter always felt very clunky to me. To me it's bad compared to any other fighting game. I never liked it. I share the same sentiment to all Capcom fighters. They can't make a decent fighting game. Mortal Kombat felt so much better.

It needs an AVGN episode

He talks about it briefly in the Street Fighter 2010 episode

So.. all the Friends episodes then?

I remember seeing a N64 in Joey and Chandler's apartment a few times lol

Isn’t that all of them?

It gets better. Street Fighter Alpha is called Zero in Japan, but its story takes place AFTER Street Fighter I!

To be fair, they wanted 3 to be better than 2 like with their other franchises.

It's not so bad compared to Gabe Newell not knowing the no.3 exists.

Even while airborne :)

The Boston Lager is too damn hoppy for me. Rolling Rock seemed to be skunky at least 1/4 - 1/3 of the time. Yeungling... I tend not to feel well the next morning when I drink, say, 16 of them....

Clearly a Nerd from another Mandela Universe lol

"...local brew."

"Its shit rock, stick to local brew"

it broke my heart bruh

That's fucking awesome! Thank you for the knowledge drop!

More like Li Xiao Long

Ryu also means dragon. Is Ryu a Bruce Lee rip off?

That's why it failed. But funny enough everyone asks for SFIII characters in IV and V now

It was and still is different from all the other mainline games that's why people don't like, I myself think that it has the superior gameplay, artstyle, music and general vie but I really only like half of the roster but I must admit as time passes characters keep growing on me maybe it's because I'm seeing how Capcom won't be able to replicate the game

Roster is a big problem for a lot of popular Capcom fighting games. CvS 2, MvC 2, Third Strike, Alpha 2, and even Pocket Fighter have way too many shotos.

DarkSoulSama same lol

@@deezy81 Shotos are who you play when you're trying to learn the fundamentals of Street Fighter. I main Ken because I'm a scrub and he is easy to pick up and play.

it would've been nice if they did that for all of the games. or even do a cross-game online battle

Agreed. A2 > A3

Could you imagine online SF1? Pure chaos, but man would it be hilarious

@Pow look up fightcade. You'll find lobbies for all kinds of fighting games included A2.

That would have been great

We always called it "Nittendo" without the middle N for some reason. Back then there was no NES. It was just "Nittendo" :)

Playin' it Hard Lolol.

We always called it just "Super" or "Super N.E.S.".

WHERES THE PAPER TOWELS?!?

Never really drank Sam Adams drank a S Ton of Rolling Rock

I always found them the easiest to beat as Blanka haha, ah variety is the spice of life! The Low Fierce punch knocked them out of everything.

Actually Ken/Ryu vs Blanka is a pretty even balanced fight. My friend and I were very good at SF2 and played Ken (me) vs Blanka for 4 hours straight one day.

Is that you Chun-Li?

@@zackschilling4376 No, it's Metal Mario.

Of course they wont

@@vio2112 Home emulation on your own computer is better than this collection's emulation.

Do you think the PS3/360 version of Third Strike Online is better than this one? Also, you think the Switch's version is better of worse or about the same as the PS4/XBOne?

@@zackschilling4376 Online Edition is way better than this, it even has GGPO netcode.

The information and included artwork are really really nice tho

There were tubo cabinets as well not just hyper

MK II was way better than MK I, but you are correct. SFII as a fighter is better. MK though, was never really about the fighting, the violence. Ha

@@RealAlphaDrum agreed! MK was a novelty at the time, due to the violence and speed, but Street Fight just played better. MK did come into it's own with II though

Mortal Kombat was all about the shock factor, blood, fatalities, etc...Without those it would be a very bland fighting game, especially since all characters basically have the same moves.

@@Cod4Wii especially the look of the games too. MK using digitized actors was cool for the time, but that and just the overall look of the game has aged horribly compares to SF2

It also helps that almost all of the SFII ports play well, and most of the MKI ports don’t.

Exactly the same for me!

Like alpha 3 on Saturn and Dreamcast

I doubt anyone would’ve complained if they’d included it instead of Street Fighter 1.

Probably not on the collection because in Japan, it's not a Street Fighter game.

@@sridrawings4510 Simple Wikipedia search: "Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight (Japanese: 2010ニイ　マル　イチ　マル ストリートファイター, Hepburn: Nī Maru Ichi Maru: Sutorīto Faitā) is a side-scrolling action platform game released by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. *It was marketed as a science fiction-themed spin-off* to the 1987 arcade game Street Fighter. *The English localization of 2010 changed the name and backstory of the main character to imply that he was Ken from the original Street Fighter, whereas the protagonist in the Japanese version is a completely unrelated character named Kevin.* 2010 is of a different genre from the traditional Street Fighter games, which are competitive fighting games."
