Guile's invisible throw was the sickest move, you were the cool kid if you could do that.

Guile has the "Touch of Death" or the invisible throw. It actually lets you get out of the "Hand Cuffs" or Freeze.

4:13 I'm impressed, Honda has balls of steel.

I remember in the 90s someone told me about the guile glitch where he arrests you. I thought they were crazy. Thank goodness for KZfaq and the future.

I'd like to think that Dhalsim's 'yoga invisibility' is canon.

TerminalMontage got me here. Awesome vid altogether. Glitches got me crackin up

Tells us "Dont try this at the arcade unless you want them to get mad at you" **goes to the arcade lol

5:30 thanks terminalmontage

Guile also has a "magic throw" glitch where he throw you without having to touch you. You can also use it to get him out of the " hand cuff" glitch

I've been a playing Street Fighter since the beginning 1, You can get out of the Guile stance by doing somersault kick any time even after the timer expires and you can continue playing so it's not a soft lock 2,handcuffs throw - your name - soft lock if you don't escape before the timer run out - to escape do the tug - if you go into the Guile stance you have to somersault kick first P.S the tug was what we called the invincible throw that guile does without having to touch his opponent 3,To do the Tug it's an backwards sonic Boom (I can't remember what buttons you press but i believe it's hard punch and kick also have to do it at the correct distance ) 4,You miss The freeze ( that's what we called it ) to do the freeze you have to do the handcuffs throw and the tug as fast as possible-to get out of the freeze you have to somersault kick then tug before the timer run out to avoid the soft lock or activate two player game mode ( new Challenger ) his can get expensive if you cant tug consistently Your video brought back alot of good memories i used to go to the arcades every saturday

This game was no doubt a REVOLUTION in the arcade world...

Great vid - brought back some memories. You can actually get out of handcuffs with Guile by doing an invisible throw (back to forward with throw and kick button together (believe the middle ones - been a while). Doing the handcuffs move (flash kick with fierce and heavy kick instead of the medium ones resets the game (a dick move to do on another player - losing both your quarters haha). Think there is also a reset with Dhalsim if you guys want to google and geek out. Another cool thing about invisible throws was you could change direction and if you hit your zone - could invisible throw someone like 4 or 5 times in a row. I spent a lot of quarters on these glitches - good times :)

I played this game my whole life and I'm just learning this now lol

I exploded the HELL out of that kicking Vega when he is down glitch!! :D Honestly I assumed it wasn't a mistake because he was so tough to beat!

Thanks for the video!! When I was little I would spend my entire allowance at the arcade playing CHUN LI. She is my favorite character and I would have lineups up kids waiting to play me! Putting their quarters up! I miss those days. Playing on a console at home is just not the same.

You missed Guile's ghost throw. Its was also how you broke the handcuffs.

Guile has touch of death (invisible throw). Fun to use it on the Vega stage when Vega is on the fence. Also, to get out of hand cuff, you perform the invisible throw. To get out of stance, do a sonic somersault kick. I used to do this all the time back in the days. Good times. =) And by the way, Zangief was my favorite character for SF2. People used to hate me when I play him because I was really good with the timing and distance of the spinning pile driver. haha.

Nice video, and very cool voice. Don't miss it the Guile's glitch... 'Super Throw' or 'Shadow Throw'

Thanks for clearing up what was referenced in Terminalmontage's "Something About: Street Fighter 2"

Thats amazing, I remember hearing about the "handcuff throw" when I was a kid in the 90's. I assumed that was something to do with the Rainbow Edition or a myth, so cool to see it here! 👍

I remember these in the arcade. I actually handcuffed a kid at a machine once, then somehow reset the machine. I just was goofing around and he managed to beat me a round, but one the second I handcuffed him as Guile, danced around a few times while he frantically tried to get out of it, I whipped the stick around and ran my fingers across the buttons in a random way and the machine suddenly did a soft reset back to the title screen. I just turned around and walked away leaving the kid dumbfounded, based on his expression I saw through the window out of the corner of my eye. Best moment ever. I wonder if he remembers it.

Nice video. I use to love resetting the game with Guiles glitch and watch my opponent look confused. I would play along too lol.

I was a Streetfighter 2 fanatic but I had never ever heard of Zangief super move. With that Zangief becomes the truly unbeatable fighter. We all knew that once Zangief so much as touched his opponent that was it - 3x spining pile driver sequence in succession was the consequence. As a result only Dalsim and Guile could fend off with fireballs but this Zangief move makes him invincible! Thanks for showing it. All these years and I never knew!

*El glitch que faltó, como muchos han mencionado, es el invisible throw, en mi región lo llamábamos el látigo porque desde lejos podías bajar a Vega de la reja.* *Además también podías combinar los glitches, podías quitar la estatua haciendo las esposas, podías quitar estas con el látigo o con la peineta (flash kick), etc.* *Lo único que no sé es si se podía hacer la peineta de pie, es decir sin tiempo de carga, muchos decían que sí, pero ni idea...*

I wonder how many of these will be in SF30th Anniversary collection... Supposedly all the glitches should be there, except for the ones in the online capable games.

You can definitely de-soft lock the handcuff throw by performing the invisible throw before the time runs out. I was banned from using the invisible throw as I was able to do it at 100% successful rate.

this is probably the only arcade game I would actually put in my house

You can get out of the hand cuffs by doing a jab sonic boom followed by a short kick almost simultaneously. You can get out of the freeze by doing a flash kick (locally we used to call them razor kicks). You can reset the machine by standing close to the opponent and doing a flash kick with strong+forward. Thanks for the video. Learned more glitches I didn't know and this brings back memories.

Nice! I've been a Street Fighter fan since SFII: The World Warrior, yet I didn't know about these glitches.

Guile: I no wanna fight anymore! Ken: I too no wanna fight no more! Guile: dance with me? Ken: yes let’s dance... forever!

That Guile heavy throw glitch has been immortalized in the Terminal Montage “something about Street Fighter” video. That was pretty fucking hilarious and a deep cut I wasn’t expecting lol

You can get out of stance even if time runs out, a flash kick or super throw will get you out. You can also get out of handcuffs by performing a super throw while there's time on the clock still. There were a couple you missed. Guile has an invincible stance and he can also perform handcuffs and do the invincible stance too. The barrel trick you did with Vega can also be done with Ryu on rainbow edition, every character is also capable of disappearing on rainbow edition.

If you don't know Guile's invisible throw, I dont think you know Street Fighter very well.

5:39 Guile: Okay, let's dance baby! Ken: Guile WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? ohmygodimgonnabesick

Great to see these glitches. I spend so much time to hone Guile's continuous invisble throw> For Sagat, you can jump over while Sagat Fireballs, Jump over Heavy Chop, medium punch, scissors kick, Guile lands invisible air throw, then catch the timing, execute another invisible air throw and the energy bar full deplicits. For any character, the maximum continous invisible air throw is 4x, the oppnent character just lays flat while being tossed left and right. Heavy Chop, heavy punch, scissors kick when executed correctly will blackout and resets the game

4:45 i remember this glitch back in the day, we used to call it the Statue. But that move has an other level of game breaking bug where it will reset the arcade and sometimes completely shut it off. You had to do a special move after the stand.

In the car bonus stage, my friend used Ken and instead of the jump backward getting stuck, he did the uppercut getting stuck.

4:50 this is the stance

You can actually do a flash kick to get out of the stance. You can also do the strong and fierce throw flash kick glitch while at the stance. It's pretty cool, I always do it with against Gief and Vega. Great video as always.

I’ve played the arcade version of Street Fighter 2 a billion times back in the 90’s and didn’t know any of these glitches existed! Thanks for the cool video.

I was not aware of these glitches at all. :O

4:50 - The Guile stance was good against the Zangief AI because Zangief would never do a move that would break Guile out of his stance. Basically just fight Zangief until you have a life advantage, then perform the glitch and wait out the clock :)

You can do “untouchable stance from golden stance” = full forward circle, then heavy kick, heavy punch. You can also turn the game off from golden stance by holding down then pushing heavy kick & heavy punch. Invisible throw = forward back forward, heavy kick + heavy punch.

You can easily get out of the "guile stance" by doing a flash kick motion (hold down two second then up and a kick button). As for the handcuffs if I recall correctly you have to hold back for two seconds then forward and fierce and roundhouse button simultaneously (very hard timing) but it will throw the opponent. This motion is also used to do the magic throw you didn't mention in the video.

One of the greatest games of all time. Guile was favorite warrior. The best character. Best moves/throws and just so smooth overall. Too cool for school.

Getting handcuffed by your opponent was singlehandedly the most embarrassed thing that could have happened to you Even worse then getting beat by 2 perfects

I remember the most OP one was with Guile and you could throw the enemy from anywhere on the screen. Love the vid man.

In regards to Dhalsim's invisibility, you can do it with a yoga fire with heavy punch and medium kick simultaneously based on my 40+ year old memory... Guile's invisible throw? You showed Guile's freeze and double freeze (released by doing an invisible throw). Guile also had a triple freeze where both characters freeze (released by a yoga flame with heavy punch and heavy kick). Guile can also reset the machine by doing a double freeze with heavy punch and heavy kick. The terms I used were Melbourne terms in case you're confused.

You are missing Guile's touch of death or some call it the invisible throw. You can get out of the handcuffs glitch with it and infinitely throw people without them being very close.

You get out of the stance bug by doing a flash kick. Also, it's upside down kick -> sonic boom

Cool video, a few I'd not seen like the Zangief throw. You certainly did not get all of them though. Guile has a few more, like from the stance you can change to another stance. He also has an "invisible" throw which makes you invincible if you can continuously use it. My favourite way to beat the game was to cause it to reset at the end using Guile or Dahlsim glitches. Also my favourite way to lose haha.

Nice! The last one was awesome, and the Zangief throw was funny too!

"Dozens, or even hundreds-" Yeah, alright. Definitely not thousands.

E. Honda was probably my favorite to play as because of how fast his hands were

You never mentioned my favorite. I would use Ryu, and make sure my opponent had less health than I, then if you jump and do a hurricane kick, you could keep flying up the screen, appearing at the bottom, and keep going up as many times as you want. When time runs out and you stop doing the move, you will fall from top the bottom just as many times as you flew up.

lol I am a HUGE fan of SFII and the only glitch I knew about was the "Vega-teleporting-bonus-barrel" one~!~!~! Thanks for uploading this; kudos to you :)

That final glitch you did is not an arcade glitch, its an emulator glitch. If you do that input correctly on arcade hardware the game will reset rather than dropping through the floor. Also stance should be upside down kick into sonic boom, not "upside down kick into flash kick". You are missing invisible throw and the untouchable /second stance glitch from guile as well. Invisible throw is used to get out of freeze / handcuffs. You can also do a ryu vs ryu on early version of world warrior.

(on Vega's crazy backflipping on and off the screen super fast): "I think it's pretty cool." Vega hiding his face in shame, being made to act like a total tool. 3:53

In SF2 turbo arcade version, you can do zangief's lariat spin in the air, jump, and spin again. You can eventually go vertically off the screen, and rise from the bottom. You can't get hit. If you stop you'll just fall back down. I used to bring down the opponents health a bit, then travel upwards till the timer runs out.

Great vid bro!!....also my all time favourite game and too played the crap out of ...there are two glitches you forgot to mention and it’s with guile...one is called “untouchable” where Guile stands normally and carnt be touched at all...and if time runs out a simple blade kick will get you out and the game continues..second glitch is “invisible throws” where you do a sonic boom with the heavy punch and kick at the same time (kick button must be pressed a fraction before the punch button)...and four throws and it’s a perfect win..hope you get to investigate these and post!!...again I enjoyed your vid some glitches iv never heard of before..! SHORYUKEN!!!

This game is my childhood in a nutshell.

the Zangief glitch should be in SFV xD

After Vega came back from falling all over the screen…first word he said was “I’ve been falling for thirty mins” just like Dr Strange made Loki fall 🤣

4:50 only glitch I discovered back when SF2 was still hot in the arcades. I was playing against CPU Zangief and he couldn't hit me out of it, which caused the game to soft freeze after time ran out. You can however break out of the stance by yourself by performing another Flash Kick. Which of course I didn't know back then...

Wasn't there a Guile glitch that turned the machine off or reset it? I remember seeing something like that at local arcade.

I used to freeze the arcade machine with guile the owner used to kick us out when we were young best days ever

Love street fighter. I've heard of glitches but never seen them. Awesome vid

Actually, I remember a glitch on Zangief where you can do the rotating motion in the air, then jump again and do another rotating move indefinitely, and if the opponent is vertically positioned with you, you can do Zangief throw.

You totally missed the best glitch....Guile’s “Super Throw”!!!!

Hopefully you'll read some of the comments, because there are some that you've missed. For me, the most glaring is the Guile reset of the entire machine, which, as stated earlier, loses both you and your opponents' quarters. I'd do that one when I was just about to leave the arcade because I thought it was funny. It wasn't funny, but I was a kid.

Amazing you covered all those glitches - always thought it was such a perfect game so it makes me sad to be reminded do these glitches in a weird way!

The Guile glitch where he freezes used to be referred to as "the statue", and no... getting hit wasn't the only way to end the glitchy stance... just execute another flash kick motion. There were several glitches you missed here tho. Dhalsim and Guile could reset the game by crashing it. Ken and Ryu could do infinite, never landing hurricane kicks. Lastly, the Ryu vs Ryu glitch where it was the only way to play the same character versus the same character in SF:WW.

I love the Zangief glitch. I can then use that to beat everyone!!

You didn't show how to get to Sheng Long

WOW... after 30 years I'm still learning something from SF2... thanks mate

You can get out of the guile stance by holding the stick SW for about 4-5 seconds, turn anti clockwise to NE (semi circle) then pressing HK immediately followed by HP when in player one side. And the invisible throw was done by doing a sonic boom with the HK immediately followed by HP

Anybody here after Terminal Montages Street Fighter 2 video?

I had this arcade at home as a kid. My parents had 2 machines AND one of them was SF2 first videogame I've ever played. Still one of my favorites

5.19 you mention once the opponent is handcuffed if you go in to the stance that it's a soft lock... BUT, you could get out of it using a bottom right corner to top left corner clockwise movement of the stick combined with a heavy kick followed very closely with a heavy punch . This will throw the opponent out of the handcuffs and you can continue (if I recall correctly) ;)

Some notes: - Vega's OTG is caused by a stray hitbox in his trip animation. - Zangief's Magic Throw is done with Forward in Super, but O.Zangief *still* has it in Super Turbo, but with Roundhouse. - Guile also has a Magic Throw in WW, done by trying to do a Sonic Boom, but hitting a kick and then Fierce one frame from each other. This will even pull Vega off the fence! - Guile Magic Throw releases Handcuffs. - Guile Stance is canceled by inputting a Flash Kick, and *can* be done after round end. You can use this to 'pause' the arcade game after a round and come back later. - Guile Scrolling glitch only happens in inaccurate emulators. This will *reset the game* on hardware and proper emulation. - Guile Scrolling interrupt can be re-enabled by inputting another Flash Kick. You can also end up in Handcuffs from it at some points.

4:13 Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Forgot to mention the code for Infinity power

I never knew about any of these. Dope video!

I've played SF2 for decades and somehow never knew about these glitches. Hilarious!

You can get out of the "stance" by doing another flash kick

It took them how many years to figure this out?

I was the king of Guile’s invisible throw and still remember you have to time it exactly right when moving the stick from backward to forward then press the heavy punch and kick the same time! Actually you can un-soft lock the handcuff move by doing exact handcuff move again without the need of invisible throw!

From the stance you could go into a totally untouchable stance. I remember it being it being a full circle from the center back position with the big kick and punch, then a sonic boom with the big punch only. He would change stance, just like standing normally but unmoving, and be unhittable.

u could get out of the guild freeze...but u missed guiles #1 glitch that was the invisible throw...that was the only way to successfully... get out of the handcuff with guile

5:40 looks so hilarious haha yeahhh

This brought me back to my childhood. 1992 when SF2 came out and I was at the arcade everyday playing this. The Guile glitch was always done. There was another version of the game where you could do Ryu’s fireballs in the air.....I think it was like a altered version of the game

I'm amazed you missed out guiles invisible throw (aka guile's gun)! Also, if you're including other titles, I think the alpha 2 valle custom combo glitch is probably the most important street fighter bug, considering the impact it had on the international tournament scene, and hell just the legend behind it all! Also, alpha 3 had OTG v-ism, which could even lead into some decent v-ism combos! I maimed karim I'm Alpha 3, and she had *tons* of setups. She could basically knock you down, activate v-ism, grab you off the ground, and combo that into an infinite combo!

Zangief is Ryu's dad

0:12 Guile less 1 sec use that skill.

I remember playing street fighter champion edition at the laundromat when i was a child. Guile had a glitch where if you rotate the joystick continuously (cant remember the direction) and press the button make him do a sonic boom. Doing this continually gives sonic boom that always finds the target and guile will compile jumps to where he is now out of the screen and you will win with a perfect. I beat the entire game on one credit with this glitch.

The simplicity of these games compared to today's is somewhat refreshing sometimes today's games there's too much information almost suffocating, golden days where the fun was, SNES !!

"I invisible throw E. Honda 4 times in one round"...you had to be there

5:28 anyone here from terminalmontage?

There is also one more glitch in the game with Guile, I don’t know the move but he can throw you from any distance without touching his opponent.

Awesome. Which of these glitches were also found on Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyperfighting on the SNES? I played thousands of hours with Ken, sometimes against these players, but never saw any of these glitches except maybe the Vega one if I remember correctly.
