And when it seemed like Ryu was going to be beaten to boot.

Do what you like. Leave me out of it, dipshit

@@aaqilian5.085 You must be a special kind of stupid.

@@thepuppet4321 Well that part didn't seem particularly purposeful...

This one is far more entertaining than 2

@@wiggermadeteslacleswafflei2927 you are the only person I've seen to state this

And widely ignored, too.

The original Street fighter was a far bigger leap beyond all previous fighting games than Street Fighter 2 was over it. Street Fighter 2 was better, but just by tweaking small things.

Just like how everyone talks about Dragon ball Z but never talk about Dragon Ball....

Lolol I know right

Fr who played this hard ass to control game and was like yes more😂 but i mean im obviously glad they did

You forget that this was 1987, the heyday of martial arts tournament movies and the origin a bullshido fever. Coupled with the fact that almost all games were terrible back then.

Facts. And a bunch of low budget ninja movies.

Well, this was, what, one of top two fighting games of the time- because the only other fighting game I knew of from the era was Yie Ar Kung Fu. And the more I watch it, the more I realize it’s not bad at all. It’s just Capcom iterated on it and made something much better, so of course the early version isn’t as good. Those games paved the way. Something had too.

Yup! I remember the pneumatic buttons were the first version. Then they did the six button layout because the pneumatic ones got broken quite often from being pounded so much.

HOLY SHIT! I never knew Ryu and Ken’s gimmicks were actually referencing this game! Edit: it’s Terry Bogart’s gimmick too

Yes, everyone is Ryu in this game

wa wawa wa wawawa waaa . AVGN

It's good to stay humble like that. 😁

Lol

@Alexsoda - that’s a Big Brain Moment right there, sir 😃

RYU: I GAVE HIM A SCAR???

you can actually one shot him if you catch him with an uppercut during his tiger knee

He didn't stand a chance, 'Gat couldn't defeat Shen Long. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yea

So basically Ryu won the tournament by DQ.

I think me and you are the only ones who love the audio in this game. In my opinion the best is "fight!" at the beginning of a round

You know how popular street fighter 2 was ? Absurd

@@emilianovitaliani245 don’t forget me

It sounds as though they’re speaking through a pillow

I thought he said Canada but he said China

That was the 80s 👍

The sequel was actually much better and more popular. Check it out.

@@haveatyou1 well obviously..But for the time this was awesome. And then the sequel came and made history

😂

You’re kidding right? Even for its time this was complete garbage.

no more ROM for phrases....

Is it wrong to have just a bit of ego?

Merf merf. Merf merf merf merf merf merf merf merf merf merf merf merf.

Shut up Meg 😒

I’d personally play this game a lot with my childhood friends and we all were experts doing all the special and was so popular that everyone was challenging other players.

@@landsramirez8820 ha lies

@@eh2396. You probably don’t have any dmm clue what was like to play this classic!!

I had never seen it in person either until some time after 2010. I think I maybe played it once... and controls were tough... but you can see where sf2 inherited the large sprites and some mechanics. They actual put time into really refining and improving the original and it came out great.

@@landsramirez8820 Then online function came and you realized all of you were only experts in your circle of friends, but i don't blame you because back then being good was pretty much just playing in a average way in your group of under average friends

Tell me about it.... it even scared the shit out of Sagats chest.

@@JThom-yh3ef im radish kamin

Can someone tell me the opening song used in the vid? I'm ULTRA desperate

@@SuperGabetendo777 Kizu Darake no Blue Moon

@@leostenbuck4194 I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU

Yeah. It was a special move that was hard to master. Not like in the sequel.

Release check is on always in the game. Hold the attack button, do the special move motion, release the attack button. It will come out every time

Is that a voice or gameplay or hadouken?

@BIGWORM 510 well i know about the hadouken being pulled really hard but i need his answer

As a 15 year old who loves retro games.... I feel the same but this one is fun with cheats

This game is so underrated! Even watching it makes me nostalgic!

Instead of pressing the button at the end of the hadouken motion, hold the attack button and release it at the end of the motion. You will throw it every time!

Kirsten Hailey Fernandez how do you do that

this game was no fun

You mean the hadouken

Angultra oh yeah

@@sonicgaming5535 but it's fun with cheats lol

There was also an edition which had the standard 6 buttons FYI.

Joe, eu não percebi isso, vou prestar atenção.

Yeah lol

Great they brought Yoko Shimomura to compose for SF2

Dana dadana dadana

dude listen to eagle’s stage it sounds like someone had a stroke playing a synthesizer

The original was never legendary. You mean the second game.

that dude fucked him up

funny because 4 hits and you were fucked

THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE

15:27 Bro over here it’s even worse…

last round against Sagat was dramatic. You were on your way out. Nice come back!

Bends95 that what I thought XD

Bends95 Shoryuken ultra combo of Evil Ryu in UST4 more like a scene about how Sagat got his scar.(specially if Sagat was standing on right side and Evil Ryu s Shoryuken was perfectly crossing his scar )

😭😭😭

God damn you, I can't unsee that now !

I dunno, Sagat's legs just look like that

I noticed it too. Couldn't focus on anything else the rest of the vid

I couldn't get further than Geki when I used to play this, I had no clue there were special moves of any kind.

Gr8fulDead69 Yeah SF2 was definitely better and way more popular than the original. Ryu with red hair that's a trip. The original Street Fighter never got a real home console released except for the Turbo CD in 1989 but it was called Fighting Street instead of Street Fighter but it's the same game just ported from the Arcade to the Turbo CD which was a CD ass on to the Turbo Graphix 16. The game did get other home computer ports in the late 80's when the game was released as well. Yeah when most people think of Street Fighter especially old Street Fighter they think automatically think of SF2. No one really remembers or cares about the original Street Fighter. Heck there's never been another official home console port of Street Fighter for any other console except the Turbo CD.

Thayn' ghawd!

Though we wouldn't really have 2 without all the things 1 did.

It's really a matter of opinion but I'll always prefer super 2 and super turbo to the alpha games.

Yep. Street Fighter II changed everything.

Lol like Tekken 1

It was 1987. This is 2 years after Mario Bros. NES.

What are you…50 years old?

@R K what are you? 5? Do you still need diaper changes?

@@dterm8526 lol

Yeah mane, this game was a blast back then!🤟🏿

If you let the Leah Lipps phenotype suck you up you will become aware.

I think I played this crap once as a kid and went directly to Final Fight!

@@ahbing3825 ?

Which version did you play?

Bad control response is not the game "being harder." 🤦‍♂️ Even Capcom realized that and corrected in SFII.

Wut stwength! buh doh forgit there are many guhs like you all ovir dah wurld.

blablablabla blablabla al ova da wuld

i guess one is mike but the other one is CODY trevor from final fight not joe

yeah u r right and they are dlc in sf5

If You're Talking About The Intro Where Joe Gets Knocked Out I Didn't Even Know That How Did You Find That Out.

"mike" is actually mike bison (remember that in Japan, balrog was called m.bison). A wordplay with "mike tyson". So this mike is actually balrog.

awwwight, wound thoo!

Oof..

Why?

@@ratedr7845 Sure, more than happy to oblige: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrenZ9pqvM28k4U.html

@@1squeamishneophyte 😐😐😐

Because they knew one was bad 😂

I'm one of the few people who still remember it.

The game was a fixture in my Brooklyn, NY neighborhood. Damn game was everywhere along with Double Dragon.

I played the 6 button version. It was in 1991 when Street Fighter 2 was recently released. I was excited to see the cabinet because at first I thought it was SF2. The disappointment was real 😪

I loved playing it when i was a young teen. There were two big massive rubber buttons. It was hard to a master the uppercut. Later on when they released SF II i eventually mastered the move. By then SF one was removed and you couldn't find it anywhere. SF 2 was of course a lot better but I still like this classic and would love to play it again.

I played it on the arcade machine as a teen when it came out. I was not good.

more like the half finished prototype.

Kingarran Xx Actually, the platform that fighting games follow nowadays comes from Street Fighter II, not this one (because Street Fighter I is ass)

CommanderFig64 Street Fighter 2 doesn’t happen without Street Fighter 1. Capcom had to figure something out to learn from its mistakes. Everything we take for granted from Street Fighter 2 and other modern fighters doesn’t exist without a template to learn from. This game was the template. Is it a good game? No. But how can you get better without failing and learning?

@@MonkeyManPrime64 that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard .... This literally laid the format of all fighting games

cray 3K No it didn’t. Street Fighter 2 revolutionized it with its character selection and actual good controls. At best, Street Fighter 1 laid a loose skeleton. Read up on your game history.

Like everything else xd. Some punches - OHHHDAT or DAAAA HA HA HA

Shoryuken 2 hit kill

Not really.....it should be damaging, after all, it is similar to a small spirit bomb

Nothing comes close to Sagat's tiger shot.

Back in 87 not too many ppl knew how to do the special moves. This was new to us.

Isn’t it 75 percent though. The fireball is sagats tiger, if you were to play street fighter on the snes, I would mute it.

Yes Your Right It Is Balanced Hes Sopposed To Be The Hardest Character In The Game Your Dumb Indeed

That's the point of an actual ARCADE GAME. It's designed so you keep spending quarters until you succeed or run out of money

Arcade games are always incredibly unbalanced.

Sagat was a legit quarter killer back during his prime.

Eagle's theme and Sagat's theme sound pretty awesome ;)

I did as well.

L 0:19

Can you please tell me the opening song used in this video? I'm really desperate! Please!

Best quote in this original SF game ;) "AOOOOOOWWRIGHT."

The heat of battle will clean our souls, no soap is needed

That's just stubble on his face.

Blame the beard trend.

Ryu was a redhead again in the Street Fighter Alpha series which to my mind is the last SF series that I actually enjoyed But then I think Capcom's glory days were during the CPS-2 era in the mid-1990s. After that, it's downhill...

AvengerII Lmao you know nothing about fighting games then

I bet if they did, it would be the biggest fighting game of all time.

Yes just imagine

Hell yeah I want red head Ryu back. He's wayy more handsome~~

it would be so crazy bro.

Definitely

Extra gay!

he is alergic to success

Sagat's Capcom Groove portrait art in Capcom vs. SNK 2 recreates his SF1 portrait.

15:36 His eyepatch fell off.

And his thighs. He looks ... Deformed

Cool

Ironic enough, Terry and Mai are both confirmed for Street Fighter 6!

Ryu: "And I took it personally."

Laurigi yes it's called street fighter alpha

but there's no EAGLE though.

They have...its called sf2..3..4 and 5

Laurigi tool

The Movement not even close

ShiitakeWarrior I can't believe that's him

ShiitakeWarrior final fight right???

Yare yare daze

Yep he entered the First World Warrior tournament while he was sick.

is that in the comics or something?

i played the shit out of this back in the 80s, now im in my 40s and I... care about better videogames than this, lol

Your dad grew up.

yah agree, Adon would flip kick you all afternoon long. I think my arcade had their SF machine set to expert or something. a true quarter eater. You'd even lose to Retsu

Exactly. Mike would be on you like young Tyson.

Mike was the one I had to carefully attack due to his punches deal a whooping damage.

DAS SUM GUD MYUOSIC

I once heard if you hang upside down while drinking a gallon of bleach while listening to the street fighter 1 sagat theme, you'll hear the seinfeld bassline. NO JOKE LEGIT 2017

DON'T LISTEN TO SF1 AT 3AM lol

Wouldn't it be the other way around? Seinfeld came out in the 90's

What Humor!! But don't forget there are many comments like this all over the world.

😂😂😂😂😂I NEVER anyone who could do it back in the 80's

Funny because Street Fighter 1 had a version with the now-standard 6-button layout. Never played SF1, but just looking at pictures of those pressure-sensitive pads it looked like a 2-man job just to play the game lmao

tokokuken the gameplay really sucks. but the "voice acting" has some charm to it and the spritework/art style is pretty well done.

It's one of the first fighting games. So you can't ask too much.

tokokuken I agree. it took me a round to throw a fireball... and this guy is doing it like he's playing the 2nd one.

There's no excuse for a game this poor. The game has not aged well at all. SF2 has aged well. PAC-MAN has aged well. This game has aged like milk.

What criticism!! But don't forget there are many guys like you all over the world
