Actually, Final Fight was supposed to be the Street Fighter's sequel. It was meant to be called "Street Fighter '89" and it was renamed due to the bad reputation of SF1

Well believe it or not, ppl liked this game back then. Even though it looks terrible today, there wasn't anything like it back in the days (at least not with this graphics)... so a sequel was pretty much a demand from the arcade owners. The guy who created this game quit just before SF2 started to be made and was hired by SNK to develop Fatal Fury, a game that has its similarities with this one (a fight based on powerful special moves).

@@Pixelchanchada : correct answer. This seems primitive compared to modern fighting games, sure... but it's 30+ years old. At the time, people were lining up to play this. It's unbalanced, it's insanely hard AI, and the controls are awful... but it was really revolutionary because of the concept and the look of the game. Not hard to see how it could spawn a sequel with some tweaks to the gameplay.

They said this needs a sequel

Well you have to look at it from the perspective of 1987. Fighting games were pretty much nonexistent and this game probably made a LOT of money. Also there was a version of SF that used a pressure pad of sorts to determine attack strength. But it was expensive and kept breaking so they adapted it for buttons. Which is probably why the controls are so fucked up.

The jump in quality is even bigger between this and the LITERALLY NOTHING that came before it.

Bungus Amungus woah there, captain edgelord. Don’t cut yourself.

Who cares, a shitty game is a shitty game, and will only be lauded as shitty. If it's your first try, either learn from the criticism or don't. They did learn, and made an incredible, innovative game because they did. You get nothing for going easy on something because it's the first one. Participation rewards are not acceptable when it comes to video games.

@@Ender41948 I think he meant than even as shitty as it was, it was a stepping stone for fighting games. If you play fighting games of this era, you'll see that most of the stuff that we're used to now wasn't as obvious then (ie: combo weren't always there, you had to press a direction to turn your character if the opponent was behind you, ...) It always seems way shittier when you have the hindsight of years of polishing the genre. Doesn't make the game good but it gives its relative shittyness a context.

@Nazareth Hagane Not sure why you put the quotes around your own statements, but at least you're open about it. @saezir The thing is, this is far from the game that pioneered fighting games, and I'm using it in that context. This was another arcade game no one played because it made no sense, and the mechanics were on the same level as Dangerous Streets (Not AS bad obviously since one, this came first, and two, Dangerous Streets had even less memorable characters.). Street Fighter 2 was what happened when everything this game attempted was polished and simplified, and it did wonders even if it dd age poorly, it's obvious the effect it had on the market and practically introduced the genre in the mainstream. This was a poor attempt that laid the groundwork in the loosest sense, but that still doesn't make it good, back then or now.

And the only guy in the studio that could speak half way decent English I bet.

Same here

Reminds me of the first fight in the Tekken 7 story mode

GhostRCA seems legit

"Street Fighter" is literally above Max. Idk if the kid was serious or just trolling.

Imagine if Capcom made Street Fighter Mythologies: Ken Masters with this gameplay. Max would literally implode.

13:04 Was he trying to hold his laugh afterwards? 😹

I actually laughed out loud.

😂

@The Rogue Wolf If I had a dollar for every time I heard the wins and lose quotes from this game. 🙄 Well Fair enough, it is telling the truth though. There "are" many guys (and girl fighters) like me all over the world; and yes, apparently I "DO" have a lot to learn before I beat them.

Too much of a good thing is bad

I mean it really isnt at all. Yeah the two playable characters are the exact same but what also goes into balance is what the arcade bosses are like. And theyre so fucking hard it makes Halo 2 on Legendary look FAIR

@Deathtrooper204 Yeah that's if you can actually pull out the special moves

Great sarcasm

To be fair, one Dragon Punch can also 100% any opponent if you manage to connect all three hits. Though, good luck trying to land that shit on Sagat.

That reminds me of when max played the shadow lords mode in killer instinct, and gargos did a 100% damage combo as soon as the fight started

Funny thing is in real life it would do 95% damage

I'm pretty sure a full tatsu is a one hit kill

@@alexojideagu but this is in a universe where people have superpowers lol

It's too bad that Ono is trying to erase Ken.

And Ryu ended up as a sexy hobo

I figured out why Ken can light people on fire with his dragon punch. It's his hidden power, the Atsui no Hado.

Shame Luigi can't boast such success ;p

rockmenx8xx Is Ono starting to HATE Ken or something???

Because it's nearly impossible to pull it off in this game

And it can do half life. What a fireball should do.

Makes me wish I could shoot Fireballs from my hands. I wouldn’t even mind Dan’s Gadouken.

It reminds me of a crushing blow in mk11

GSD_Shiro Kuma lovwkey how it should be 🤣. But nowadays people eat fireballs. Like it’s nothing! “Thank you may I have another?”

And it wasn’t because of the Satsui no Hadou it was actually because of his intense love for his future wife.

@@Gamermario-lb3rq Someone crafted the theory that the lower your libido is, the strongest the Satsui no Hado is. That's why Akuma mastered it in like a second.

There was no scar in this game.

@Ian Ramirez MASTER IT!? NO! He GAVE IN to it... like Ryu refuses to do... you know... like... every time they meet.......

If that is the case then the timeline would be the sf movie timeline where sagat is ken's rival

Pshhh, try red guy from karate champ!

Fun Fact: Robert Garcia (AOF) came out a few weeks after SFI, SNK came out with a double dragon style side scrolling brawler in 1987, Art Of Fighting. It was a very limited release for Sega Master System. 5 years later in 1992 it was remade as a fighting game under the same title .

@@ramonantoniobennett-ryuuke6301 For real, AOF was a beat them up? I have to find it.

@@prielknaaphofnar.9754 originally yes, I had it on the master system. You start off with Ryo, Robert, Marco Rodriguez (Later Khushnood Butt), and a young kid Muay Thai fighter named Rocco(who was later on became Rock Howard). It was a very limited release back in 1987 and it was somewhat of a sleeper hit. Ever since it was remade as a one-on-one fighting game , it's original source code was lost so that's why it's impossible to find. Loss of the original source code is the reason why you can never find The AOF spin-off Buriki One nor Fatal Fury Spin-off Daraku Tenshi: The Fallen Angels on any system or console. SNK was very bad about keeping the source codes to their games back in the 80s and 90s. The guys that made SFI left Capcom for SNK and help remake AOF and Help made Fatal Fury..

Melvin Shine why do you give SFII flack? Freakin Turbo is an amazing way to play the game

@@carlbloke8797 Because while SF2 is a milestone in history, I feel like the game is overexposed and a little overrated. Either everyone wants a "new" Street Fighter to be Street Fighter 2, Capcom thinks everyone wants SFII again, or a mixture of the two. Street Fighter 2 is major part of my childhood almost purely because it was one of the only fighting games my deprived ass got to play when I was an adolescent.

Melvin Shine yeah I see your point. I do wish Capcom actually borrowed more influence on SF4

It’s like why would anyone want a Sequel to such an unfair mess of a game. Gotta say Capcom made the best number 2s with Megaman and Street Fighter.

Meanwhile, the Sagat song is completely unsalvageable though.

@@Substantial-hf1rm Yeah, I never liked Sagat's theme. Even in SF2 I wasn't a huge fan of it.

Scott DeHart Sagat’s Alpha theme is the best honestly

Instead it was Crazy Bus' theme before Crazy Bus was even a thing.

That was exactly what I was thinking. I could definitely imagine a better quaility version sounding like a decent castlevania song.

The guy playing Ken said he had a penis face😁😆.

Fun fact: Vega studied Ninjitsu in Japan under Geki and the Geki Clan Ninja

And now they are telling you to uninstall the game. Some things just never change.

Yeah but he was actually called that overseas.

@@dnmstarsi Ok.

Well... Some of them actually did. Ryu, Ken, Mike and Sagat obviously came back for 2. Gen, Adon and Birdie came back for Alpha and even Eagle had a brief come back in Capcom vs SNK 2. Of all 12 characters of SF 8 came back later. 9 if you count Lee's aparition in SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters Clash.

@@kaoko111 Mike never came back. What are you talking about?

@@-._____- Mmm... He's Balrog/Bison/Boxer.

@@kaoko111 Mike Bison lol that's why in Japan he was M. Bison and Bison in Japan was Vega

@@kaoko111 No. Capcom confirmed that Mike and Balrog are seperate characters.

It's just there because it was an arcade game and you'd have to put another quarter in before the bomb blew up

Thank you! I'm really glad someone else thought that was out of place. "Ok, Ken. The bad news is that Sagat just completely wrecked your shit Out there. The good news is you can get an instant rematch if you can DISARM THIS BOMB YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS LETS GOOOOOOO"

Sometimes Early Character designs are downright hilarious or can be a creepy oddity.

@@brandonwilliams6119 I find them funny, but charming. Like the voice acting in Resident Evil 1.

Yeah but he first came back in CvS2 then Alpha 3 on the GBA.

I can't tell if Max is trolling us or not.

I'm sure he means he wants eagle to come back AGAIN, which I'm sure alot of people feel the same too

And Mayor Cody stole Eagle's swag in SFV

With the same song

Max has re-written history, it is now Ken who dragon punched Sagat for the win.

In Street Fighter Alpha 2: Geki is also Rolento, Balrog is also Birdie. In Street Fighter III 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future: Geki is also Ibuki, Balrog is also Q.

What are you talking about? Max shines in every video he makes.

Who? Me?

What? You get a billion for the price of ALMOST a Billion? That's the best deal I ever heardt!

And Little Mac and Incineroar were guest fighters.

Well... not as Crazy as SC7 becoming Nintendo Exclusive, I can see Link, Marth and Shulk as characters, maybe even Aegislash

Would definitely hurt sales quite a bit

@@sleazyfellow or they would... but obligating them to make instant unlock free characters, like ARMS or Splatoon
