The Making of Street Fighter 2 is a retro gaming history documentary about the game development of Street Fighter 2 by Jordan H J.
It begins with a retrospective about the games that came before it in the fighting game genre, and then moves on to look at how the game was made. It begins with the concept, moves on to the character design, then the development, the music, the technical aspects, the release, the variants and ports, and finally the future of the series. Street Fighter 2 has an important place in gaming history, and this video aims to give context to it's creation, both with the games that came out before it, and the standard of the industry at the time it came out. I'm Jordan H J, and I make videos on gaming history.
Street Fighter 2 is a gaming phenomenon, not only in the retro gaming community but in the modern world, and continues to be one of the standards of the fighting game industry. Please enjoy this walk through gaming history.

@@JordanHJ You completely skipped over boxing games which, despite being sport oriented, are indeed fighting games, Heavyweight Champ by Sega in 1976 which was an arcade game which critics have since identified it as the first video game to feature hand-to-hand fighting for two players (and got a remake in 1987 for arcades and Sega Master System), and Champion Boxing also by Sega for the SG-1000 console in 1984, made by Yu Suzuki (creator if Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers).

@@JordanHJ didnt mention how Guile was obviously inspired by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure character Jeane Pierre Polnareff. Nor how Ken was inspired by kickboxer Joe Lewis and Ryu inspired by the manga Karate Baka Isekai, which was inspired by Kyokushinkai Karate founder Mas Oyama's star pupil's Yoshiji Soeno, while Sagat drew inspiration from Soeno's rival Reiba.The events of the first Street Fighter as told in Ryu’s backstory entry pays homage to Karate Master the fiction based off of Mas Oyama where he and his students go to Thailand to take on the strongest fighters. More specifically the last issue which tells the journey of Oyama’s student; Yoshiji Soeno, who journey’s to Thailand to face off against the best of Muay Thai, much like how Ryu faces off against Sagat the final boss in Street Fighter in Thailand stage.

Street Fighter II was life changing. I played it to death in the arcade, and in 1992 I paid £100 for a grey imported Super Famicom cartridge. That was a fortune for a 14 year old boy, but I got my money back in sheer replay value, which lasted about 15 years. Also, Yoko Shimomura remains my number 1 influence as a musician.

I will never forget going to see this new game kids were talking about in a game shop in April of 1991. My jaw dropped and I was transfixed with what I was watching and listening to. Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior instantly became my favorite game. I watched it become a global phenomenon and became a lifelong fan. This brings back memories and is an informative behind the scenes of the making of a cultural icon.

I remember the day this arrived in our local arcade - the arcade owner left the manual out and people were scrambling to look at it. I could not believe the parallax scrolling on the floor, it was next level stuff - and when that same floor scrolling was available on the SNES with Mode 7 my tiny mind was blown. I was excited to get an imported American SNES and a SCART TV which made the game play faster than the normal English versions. I remember entering competitions in SF2, managing to win a mini competition with Dhalsim in front of a large crowd, and another time getting punched by an older boy who didn't like losing... hah. Not as bad a memory as a friend of mine who went into central London to get in line to get an imported Japanese version, spent £70 (of 1993 money for a kid) and then was immediately mugged outside the shop.

I don’t think younger kids would understand how popular this game was and how different the world was when it came out since they have essentially the world at their fingertips now. I used to ride my bike 3 miles damn near everyday in the summer to play the one arcade machine we had in our town (as it was the only way to play it until console versions came out). You’d show up and there’d be 3 or 4 people already waiting around to play it, so you’d put down your quarters and wait your turn. It would spawn these mini tournaments and situations where you’d learn the moves you only accidentally pulled off or heard about. Great times.

I still remember back then watching a 2 kids beating a smaller kid just because one of them lost a match of sf2 to the smaller kid. One of the bigger kid is playing vs computer while his friend is watching ... looks like they enjoyed the moment. Later the smaller kid (maybe 2 years younger) came and put in the coin.. easilly beat him.. ending their good time. Then it happened.. while the loser was getting up from his sit and the winner continue vs computer, they attacked the small kid on his back. He never saw it coming. The small kid just lean forward to the arcade machine suffering the beat up. It was a pretty hard beat up for a kid that age and size.

When I was 4 years old, I saw a show on TV where people dial in and use their telephone to battle each other in Street Fighter II. I was immediately hooked, and I fell in love with the game. A few weeks later, my family took me to an arcade store for the first time. I was so excited to see Street Fighter II in person, and I couldn't wait to play it. The arcade version had even more characters than the TV show, and I was amazed that you could select the same character as your opponent (omfg blue blanka and red chun li??). I spent hours playing Street Fighter II at the arcade, and I even started hanging around the store just to watch the other players. Eventually, I got Street Fighter II for my Sega Mega Drive, and I played it even more. I would spend hours practicing my combos and trying to beat the computer. Street Fighter II was my favorite game, and it helped me to develop my love of video games. Years later, I still have Street Fighter II on my smartphone, and I occasionally play it. It still holds a special place in my heart. Street Fighter II is more than just a game to me; it's a part of my childhood

Ryu and Ken are based on Cody and Guy from Final Fight. Ken got the red gi from guy, the face went to Ryu. So they gave Ken blond hair as Cody has. Some kick-animations and throw-animations are absolutely the same. The whirlwind-kick is actually a jump-kick that was given a turning-animation and movement. Zangief is based on Haggar, of course. Just the same moves. The "blue" shadows from the alpha-series are seen from the Final-Fight-character Rolento. Breaking a car came from Final Fight. Breaking barrels also, in Final Fight they kick metal barrels at the very beginning, wooden barrels later. The stone-wall you have to break, reminds to the brick-walls in the first level, the ghetto. Blanka is a mix of the Hulk and the Final Fight-charakter Thrasher. The burning-animation in Street Fighter comes from Final Fight, when a molotov hits you or you get burned in Industrial Zone. When Vega loses his claw, it starts blinking and says "player 2", as you can pick up weapons in Final Fight. The boxer is obviously Mike Tyson, thats clear. Dhalsim is maybe based on the 70s Kung-Fu-movie "Duel of the giants" or something, also known as "The one armed boxer", where a Yoga-fighter is fighting with arms he can pull out anď stretch very long. Chun Li reminds me to Linn Kurasawa, but I dont know if she came before or after Chun-Li.

My favourite fighting childhood game Street Fighter 2 ❤😍 - the (menu) music (characters) soundtrack , all the characters themselves and everything else about street fighter 2 ,character endings e.t.c. all put a huge , massive smile on my face especially when i have defeated the game with all the characters. My Top favourite Fighting games played in my childhood (1.) Street Fighter 2 (Warrior) - I played the 💩 out of this game and loved every single minute of it, still do today on PS4 version even though i still have my original super Nintendo console and my original Street Fighter 2 Cartridge game. (2.)Killer Instinct (Super Nintendo) (3.) Mortal Kombat (Super Nintendo) (4). Streets Of Rage (Sega MegaDrive)

Oh that bold Japaneese dudes!How much of an art culture we owe to the Japan? When I learned that a young woman make both music and sound effects to original SFII I was kinda stroke by lightning! The patriarchal Japaneese society with a 1000s of years making women not allow to even talk without a permission, and such an act in 90s! And the music is do great! Artistic and personal. Thanks for that video.

So many hours played on this game as a kid. At one stage I was just one block of a fireball (Sagat) away from going 100% perfects for a tournament win on level 7 (in the end all perfects except that one Sagat round). I talk about it like I should put it on my resume or something but anyone who knows this game will know how much it can suck you in. Good memories.

@@JordanHJ Haha, right. I was obsessed with trying to hit that goal. Sagat was one of the easiest opponents to beat but very difficult to get two perfects on him due to eventually having to block one of his fire balls, in the context of a run where you are all perfects on the other opponents. Never quite managed it. I guess it kept me out of trouble though!

Hands down one of my favorite fighting games of all time. I remember walking into the arcade and the demo screen was playing. I would see the characters throwing blue projectiles and was like holy hell. Weekends at the arcade were always fun. Quarters lined up as eager players would try and dethrone whoever was on the machine at the time. I’ll never forget picking Ryu and fighting through the remaining seven characters. I thought that was it until the four bosses popped up. Vega and Bison gave me the most hassles until I learned their patterns. All in all great game. Loved the various upgrades such as Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting. I still play them religiously via the 30th Anniversary Collection on PS4

32:10 OMG!!! I always wondered about a strange SF2 version I played at a "United Skates" roller skating ring!! All the characters could do any special moves in the air and characters stayed open for damage longer than usual!! If you were followed into a back flip while using Ryu, you could do a hurricane kick in mid air and get 3 to 6 hits from it on your opponent!! When SF2 came to console, I made Game Genie codes to get the same effect!! It was my mission!!! :D

Did you know that Guile was based off Iceman from Top Gun. Thats why he has a mohawk and a fighter pilot. They even used the end credits song from Top Gun as his theme. It was changed to Kens theme due to copyright fears. Just like Balrog/Bison.
