***** "In anime", you say? :p No, I'm just kidding. I am kinda relieved that there isn't a Nazi-themed German character in the SF games. Bison could work, but, for God's sake, he isn't German xD
Calling what Mas Oyama did "100 man tournaments" is kind of... lacking in information. Oyama, who was the founder of Kyokushin karate, was the first man to do a 100 man Kumite, which means he fought 100 other karate black belts for a couple minutes each. He did it over 3 days.
Dhalsim has always been portrayed as the wise antithesis to Bison. See the Street Fighter animated movie and the Street Fighter V series. At least just Dhalsim's parts.
+EnragedSephiroth Oh ok- no wonder he's got a creepy vibe then- I mean you have to be a badass to rival Bison, even when you're a good guy! I didn't know Street Fighters had an animated movie- I've only seen the Jean Claude Van Damme-featyre film :D
Some more fun Street Fighter facts. Seth is often thought to be a reference to the infamous Shen Long rumor. The initial rumor stated that Shen Long could use every attack from every character, and what does Seth use? Sonic Booms, Shoryukens, spinning pile drivers and wall jumps, plus his Focus Attack looks identical to Urien's Chariot Tackle. He was also named after Seth Killian, the former senior manager of community at Capcom who ran the website, Capcom-Unity. Seth was also initially going to be named Cain, in contrast to Abel. Joe from the original Street Fighter was originally going to appear in Street Fighter Alpha 3 as an escaped convict, but was later replaced with Cody from the Final Fight series. During the intro for Super Street Fighter 4 and onward, Cody is seen destroying a brick wall with the Street Fighter logo on it, this is actually a reference to the intro of the original SF game, and by extension, Joe. Dee Jay was the only SF2 character to be designed by Capcom USA. Speaking of Capcom USA, they played a part in the name swap of the 3 Shadaloo members. Balrog was originally going to be named Vega, but Capcom USA thought it was a weaklings name and didn't fit the character it was given to, so they decided to rotate the names, the end result being what most players outside of Japan know today.
hetaliafan117 That's pretty much common knowledge among Street Fighter fans right now. Although it has been stated(By Yoshinori Ono I think) That Poison is essentially whatever you believe her to be.
GrizzlyAdams94 Yeah, by now they know better than to have an actual official stand on it. "Whatever you like is fine, everyone can be happy about being right". lol
Chazbo JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE JOE
Here's two more bits of Street Fighter trivia. The long running manga series, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has been referenced by several fighting games over the years including Skullgirls, Guilty Gear, and of course Street Fighter. Long time SF fans will know Guile and his iconic hairstyle, but did you know he got that hairstyle from Rudolph Von Stroheim? Both characters have a military history and are extremely patriotic in addition to the hairstyle, on top of that, some SF2 concept art mentions the heritage of two characters. Ken Masters, who's half Japanese, and Guile who supposedly has German roots, Stroheim was a German soldier. Fan favorite, Juri Han from Super Street Fighter 4 is often thought to have been inspired by the only female Jojo, Jolyne Cujoh as both share a similar hairstyle and chest wear. Juri also has the same "Ora ora ora!" battle cry as Jolyne when using her Super Combo, Fuharenjin(Wind Breaking Chain Blades). Decapre also has a taunt which is the same as Avdol's "Yes I am!" pose after he returns during the Cameo fight. And while these two aren't Street Fighter related, I may as well mention then. In the game Skullgirls, two characters pay homage to the villain, Dio Brando. Valentine can stop time and throw knives just like Dio, and Peacock can drop a steamroller on her opponent complete with Avery punching the steamroller until it explodes.
They probably left him out because he's gone from discarded Street Fighter to his own beast thanks to the efforts of the Best Friend Zaibatsu, who made him into a Divekick character.
if any of the dolls, i would preferred juli because she has a much deeper story than the other dolls (aside from cammy of course) and she was one of my favorites to play with in SFA3. I mean she had her memory lost! they can't just end her story there, if anything that would allow her to gain new moves and end her story correctly (preferably with T.Hawk)
The whole video i was trying to pinpoint who it was since i didnt read the title, he sounded so familiar. Didnt realize it until the end it was Max, who i used to follow back then during vanilla SF4.
And all he needed to do was a crouching Hard Kick from farthest distance possible while still hitting Blanka. No damage to the attacker; Blanka just gets sweeped! I smiled like a bitch whenever someone tried to pull that on me as a kid and I sweeped them like it was nothing. Then they usually spent 5 minutes wondering how the hell did I do that and didn't want to play anymore for that day. I also forced them to stop using Blanka, or at least being stupid with him. Aww, to be a kid again.
Zigi Samblak I know how to play, and I've played some competitive shit in my time (which was about 3 years ago, but still...), but his mechanics are still broken. He just doesn't quite fit the game's moves, he's different from every other character (A LOT different, in a way that it sucks to fight him). He's easily spammable and can take large amounts of health from you very easily. No wonder Blanka almost isn't used in competitive play. I played Fei Long by the way.
Freaking awesome. Most of these I already knew, but some were total surprises. I'm amazed at the fact that the series keeps surprising me after all this time.
It's the series that got me into fighting games, and what has really kept them as my most favorite video game genre. It has some of the most iconic characters (IMO), some of the best music of any game to date, and a consistent and unique feel to it throughout the ages, without feeling stale. A signature of a great franchise.
Since SNK's King of Fighters, Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury were referenced I wish they would do one of these on those. SNKs popularity has waned a bit (But so had Street Fighter till SF4) but during the 90s everything was about Capcom vs SNK with SNK being Capcom's biggest consistent competition till both fighting franchises almost disappeared in the early 00s.
Did you also know The Street Fighter games borrow elements from the Anime & Manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki Lead designer of Street Fighter II, Akira Nishitani, stated in a interview with Polygon that the concept of Dhalsim's ability to stretch his limbs comes from the Ripple "Zoom Punch" technique. This is reconfirmed in the comment section of Dhalism's bio in the Street Fighter X Tekken Artworks artbook. In an interview with producer Noritaka Funamizu, he reveals that Guile's overall appearance was modeled after Jean Pierre Polnareff. Guile's page in Street Fighter X Tekken Artworks goes into detail, explaining that early designs included Polnareff's vertical, yet modest hairstyle, but at the time the sprites were being made for Street Fighter II, the pixel artist jokingly stretched Guile's hair out to the sides. The team found it amusing and decided to give him "the always distinctive Stroheim look" instead. Noritaka also explains that Guile's name was derived from Polnareff's archenemy, J. Geil, though this was apparently the result of a mix up from the development staff at the time. Rose was inspired by Lisa Lisa, her outfit is almost identical to Lisa Lisa's and both share a similar fighting style that consists of channeling energy into their scarves (Soul Power in the case of Rose and Ripple in the case of Lisa Lisa). Additionally, both characters like to take baths and Rose's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2 is Venice, which is the same city where Joseph meets Lisa Lisa in the story. Juri Han has hair and clothes similar to Jolyne's. In addition, Juri has a spider motif and cleaves a butterfly in her official artwork; Jolyne has a butterfly motif and her Stand turns her body into threads and webs + she has spiderweb-patterned clothes. Juri even has the same "ora ora ora" battle cry as Jolyne. In Street Fighter V, the DLC character Seth has many moves based on older Capcom fighting games including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future. His Hecatoncheires move is based on Jotaro and DIO's Blazing Fists, with the EX version of the attack ending with Jotaro's Star Breaker as Seth yells "ora ora ora". Some successful combos can lead to Seth doing DIO's Time Stop pose.
More Jojo related inspiration: Dhalsim's stretchy arms were inspired by Jonathan Joestar's Hamon abilities which the creator has stated weren't nearly dramatic at the start of development and just kept getting longer and longer with each iteration.
doommagic Absolutely not. I'm saying I think it goes better with Borderlands videos than Street Fighter videos, though it goes well with both. Though I could be insane, too.
I really like the riot cop and the Ugandan chief, not gonna lie. Having Gen back in SF2 would have been interesting, too, but at least he came back in Street Fighter Alpha and SF4.
Surprised they didn't mention that Final Fight was intended as a SF sequel before SFII was announced, and that Haggar was originally meant to be in SFII, but replaced by the newly created Zangief (hence their similarities in moves/style).
Dude, this video was awesome !!! I Learned so many things that were jaw dropping, and quiet entertaining. Very cool inspirational stuff...especially the old concept art, and initial bugs, and conceptual ideas. Keep it up...i want MORE SF stuff.
you forgot to mention some characters were influenced by the popular manga in Japan "jojo's bizarre adventure " this include guile being based off stroheim,rose being based off lisa Lisa and juri being based off jolyne kujo
Did you know that Ken's theme was an inspiration from a song called Mighty Wings by a band called Cheap Tricks. This song was used in the movie Top Gun starting Tom Cruise
3:48 Well, the combo system was more of a side effect rather than a bug. According to Motohide Eshiro, one of the original SF2 programmers: "Early on in development it became clear that we were being a little too strict and a little too severe with the input methods... So, we decided to open up that timing a little bit, just by a few frames, so that if you hit that punch button within those few frames you'd be OK and your fireball would work. And as a side effect of that... players could perform combos." This is a great link for SF history: www.polygon.com/a/street-fighter-2-oral-history
yup its true. also, Fatal Fury came on after a month from the debut of SF2. also, SF4 is made by the same guys since they left after the bankruptcy of the first SNK and made the studio called Dimps. funny how things go full circle.
You should add a correction at 0:44 explaining that Megaman was created by Akira Kitamura, not Keiji Inafune. By his own admission Inafune merely turned him into a drawing from sprites shown to him by Kitamura.
This is one of the best videos!! Not just because I love the subject matter but because it includes so much unused and scrapped material from development which I find to be incredibly fascinating. Did anyone else think the original sketch of Blanca looked like a black slave in chains? I wonder if the idea was originally scrapped because of the possible controversy...
Wow, the manga reference to the designs of Ryu and Sagat are pretty crazy 0:48. I heard, as a fan of Muay Thai, that Sagat was actually influenced by legendary Muay Thai fighter Sakad Petchyindee.
Hello did you know gaming i was wondering if you guys can do a "did you King of Fighters" because i feel like this series has a lot of history to explore. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I still think Capcom should bring back Li, Retsu, Geki, Joe, and Mike for further Street Fighter sequels since some fighting games have all their original fighters in sequels.
![Nintendo 64 [OLD] - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Brutalmoose](/img/n.gif)
Thank god they added Guile. As an American I have no idea how to play any of the other characters.
It's okay, Guile makes up for it by being badass. And having a badass theme song.
Down, diagonal, right, punch is too much for our simple American minds!
CJ Moore and in another game series theres a guy with a similar look known as Lt. Surge
Vega is my street fighter of choice but I'm strange when it comes to fighting games whatever is mid tier is generally what I'm best at.
Very based comment, strongly agree. 😄
Guile music goes with everything.
You are EVERYWHERE I look.
Its theme dummy
It does.
Alex Bjelnich The NEW +PressFartToContinue! He isn't here is he?
EctoPlasmicCheetos I just saw him a couple days ago.
I knew it. Guile was put in ... FOR AMERICA.
no no. Its Merica.
No, no... It's not.
then you don't get it.
stoagy mahalo You're both wrong it's Murica
Jorge Cabrera Dumbasses, it's 'merica. Perfect your grammar pleesh
Guile was American for America!
What's stranger is that his design was based off Major von Stroheim, a German Nazi
So basically it was originally Stereotype: The Video Game.
***** "In anime", you say? :p
No, I'm just kidding. I am kinda relieved that there isn't a Nazi-themed German character in the SF games. Bison could work, but, for God's sake, he isn't German xD
It's more satire like punch-out
Lol
Bruh wdym litterally all games around that time were..
Yes stereotypes. If everyone was bland boring white guys, the game would be boring.
Another DYK gaming fact. Did you know, Guile's theme goes with everything?
Tommy9834 yes
And Space Jam.
This was hella interesting! Good job, DYKG in making vids of a wider game variety. Now all we need is some Fire Emblem!
FER ERMBLERM YERS!
Makes more sense for the Spanish to be called Vega since Vega is a Spanish last name.
Like Jones or Smith?
Calling what Mas Oyama did "100 man tournaments" is kind of... lacking in information. Oyama, who was the founder of Kyokushin karate, was the first man to do a 100 man Kumite, which means he fought 100 other karate black belts for a couple minutes each. He did it over 3 days.
+Efreeti i wish i would be that Master
+Efreeti is that it? psshh please i beat more martial arts masters than that before breakfast...
mind you, this on playstation soooo...
do he cheat like ryu? I hope not.
I could be wrong, but I though he died 3 different 100 man kumites, 3 days in a row
Efreeti You mean he couldn't shoot hadoukens?
I am American. I use Guile all the time. Proof positive.
+EnragedSephiroth I'm Indian and used Guile! Hehe...they did create an Indian character and he looked like a creep :D
Dhalsim is a badass, what are you talking aboot?
+EnragedSephiroth I know I know- but somehow I felt he had a villainous vibe to him...maybe because I was a kid back then :P
Dhalsim has always been portrayed as the wise antithesis to Bison. See the Street Fighter animated movie and the Street Fighter V series. At least just Dhalsim's parts.
+EnragedSephiroth Oh ok- no wonder he's got a creepy vibe then- I mean you have to be a badass to rival Bison, even when you're a good guy! I didn't know Street Fighters had an animated movie- I've only seen the Jean Claude Van Damme-featyre film :D
"The Red Cyclone" Vodka Gorbalski!
Joe Young like Punch-Out's "Vodka Drunkinski."

Balrog was originally going to be named Vega, but Capcom USA thought it was a weaklings name and didn't fit the character it was given to, so they decided to rotate the names, the end result being what most players outside of Japan know today.
Actually the sheng long rumor inspired the creation of Akuma and Gouken not Seth
Xander Pape I know, I wasn't saying Seth was inspired by Shen Long, I'm just saying alot of people have mentioned the similarity.
What about the controversy with poison?
hetaliafan117 That's pretty much common knowledge among Street Fighter fans right now. Although it has been stated(By Yoshinori Ono I think) That Poison is essentially whatever you believe her to be.
GrizzlyAdams94 Yeah, by now they know better than to have an actual official stand on it. "Whatever you like is fine, everyone can be happy about being right". lol
Has anyone ever wondered why Guile has such crazy hair?
Somewhere along the line, someone probably found it beguiling. :p Either that, or it's just the result of his Sonic Booms.
Rudol von stroheim, look him up
Breloom nice no see someone acknowledges JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Chazbo JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE JOE
splater kin Ya blew it.
You shouldve mention how Guile is based off of a Nazi named Stroheim from Jojos Bizarre Adventure.
Don't forget about T.Hawk being a combination of Caesar Zeppeli and PIllar Man Wham.
Wartooth91 Really?
I didn't know about that
Damon Brande Ya i dont think T Hawk is based off of them
Patch
T. Hawk and Caesar share the same headband, The pillar man reference is a bit of a stretch.
LOL I love how the original character designs were absolutely blatant cultural stereotypes. Now they're just kinda blatant stereotypes.
Vega's initial Templar design at 6:10 if really freaking cool. I would love to see an alternate costume of that one day.
Hell yes, been waiting for a Street Fighter DYK for a while. Dreams DO come true!
Street Fighter? Max? Perfect video already
Guile is a normal average set character put in for "Americans" Mother fucker was the strongest in sf2
They underestimated the power of 'MERICA!
He wasnt put in for americans to use...he was put in there to send people home to be a family man
That advice was supposed to be given by a mysterious old man?
Holy shit, that man is CLEARLY Sheng Long!
Who better for a street fighter DYKG than the own Maximilian himself?
Woolie of getting-beat-by-Daigo fame?
eh Maximilian has more approach to the community.
(I was joke-making)
Haunter! I know, I was making a point.
Knew you guys would eventually find Max!
How could you leave out Zubaz, Max?
Did You Know Gaming: The King Of Fighters, anyone?
I'll only play as Eagle from now on, if I ever play SF series, because he is modeled after the greatest singer who ever lived.
MAX!!?!?!?
How did he get here?
...wow, this is surprisingly awesome.
Surprising... But awesome.
It's only appropriate that The dood would do this franchise on DYKG.
I love Street Fighter! *So cool to learn more about the series*
GUILE IS AMERICA
Guile was added to the cast... For America!
Couldn't though of someone better then Max for this episode!
I would love to do a DYKGaming for Assassins Creed, or South Park (Game Series)
I sent you a message saying how to contact NormalBoots more effeciently, Chippy.
Pancapplesthank you very much sir!
***** you'd be surprised the amount of interesting things you can find searching around! :)
Oh hell yeah. With all the censorship issues and delays the South Park games have to have some nice history.

GrizzlyAdams94 That's awesome, I love JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it's so damn entertaining.
TheChevre94 Then have some more trivia! The character Lisa Lisa from Part 2 inspired Street Fighter Alpha's Rose!
Andre the giant is also an actor in one of the best movies of all time the princess bride
JoJo and Skullgirls are in fact my two favorite things ever.
+GrizzlyAdams94

You forgot about my boy Zubaz.

DAMNIT! You guys beat me to it! XD
They probably left him out because he's gone from discarded Street Fighter to his own beast thanks to the efforts of the Best Friend Zaibatsu, who made him into a Divekick character.
mai boi, The Baz is what All true warriors strive for
"Did you know, the fifth character for Street Fighter Four Ultra was a massive fucking disappointment?"
ikr
if any of the dolls, i would preferred juli because she has a much deeper story than the other dolls (aside from cammy of course) and she was one of my favorites to play with in SFA3. I mean she had her memory lost! they can't just end her story there, if anything that would allow her to gain new moves and end her story correctly (preferably with T.Hawk)
like 10 seconds into this I was like "IS THAT MAX?!?!"
Dont let the "feat. maximilian" fool you. Its a secret clone sent by the SRK Illuminati to confuse you.
Dont lie he started talking at 0:25
***** Which is 10 seconds after the intro
lol... after a few words I was exactly like that!!
The whole video i was trying to pinpoint who it was since i didnt read the title, he sounded so familiar. Didnt realize it until the end it was Max, who i used to follow back then during vanilla SF4.
All I remember is spamming Blanca's zapping move as a kid and my cousin getting mad.
And all he needed to do was a crouching Hard Kick from farthest distance possible while still hitting Blanka. No damage to the attacker; Blanka just gets sweeped!
I smiled like a bitch whenever someone tried to pull that on me as a kid and I sweeped them like it was nothing. Then they usually spent 5 minutes wondering how the hell did I do that and didn't want to play anymore for that day. I also forced them to stop using Blanka, or at least being stupid with him. Aww, to be a kid again.
So you were like the bully kid no one liked to play with.
Abelhawk Blanka is such a broken character that it isn't even fun to play against him on SSFIV.
Flama741
Sure, Blanka has some of the easiest punishable moves in the game. If you think he's broken, you just don't know how to play.
Zigi Samblak I know how to play, and I've played some competitive shit in my time (which was about 3 years ago, but still...), but his mechanics are still broken. He just doesn't quite fit the game's moves, he's different from every other character (A LOT different, in a way that it sucks to fight him).

I played Fei Long by the way.
Freaking awesome. Most of these I already knew, but some were total surprises. I'm amazed at the fact that the series keeps surprising me after all this time.
It's the series that got me into fighting games, and what has really kept them as my most favorite video game genre.

guiles theme goes with dykgaming
munsi0121 It goes with everything!
There needs to be a Half Life video of "Did You Know Gaming?" narrated by Ross Scott.
Shin Megami Tensei please.
OMG YES!
Since SNK's King of Fighters, Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury were referenced I wish they would do one of these on those. SNKs popularity has waned a bit (But so had Street Fighter till SF4) but during the 90s everything was about Capcom vs SNK with SNK being Capcom's biggest consistent competition till both fighting franchises almost disappeared in the early 00s.
I'm so happy Max is getting out there more. Been around his channel for so long that its just hard to believe.
And now he's all out there
I'm proud of him
Did you also know
The Street Fighter games borrow elements from the Anime & Manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki

Additionally, both characters like to take baths and Rose's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2 is Venice, which is the same city where Joseph meets Lisa Lisa in the story.
Juri Han has hair and clothes similar to Jolyne's. In addition, Juri has a spider motif and cleaves a butterfly in her official artwork; Jolyne has a butterfly motif and her Stand turns her body into threads and webs + she has spiderweb-patterned clothes. Juri even has the same "ora ora ora" battle cry as Jolyne.
In Street Fighter V, the DLC character Seth has many moves based on older Capcom fighting games including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future. His Hecatoncheires move is based on Jotaro and DIO's Blazing Fists, with the EX version of the attack ending with Jotaro's Star Breaker as Seth yells "ora ora ora". Some successful combos can lead to Seth doing DIO's Time Stop pose.
guiles theme really does go with everythinh
I can't believe they forgot the Sheng Long legend in SF2...
There WAS NO SHENG LONG in my copy of SF2. There was just a dragon punch..
I know, I meant that they never discussed the whole myth behind "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance"
Still, pretty big thing at the time.
Yeah, Gouken is based on what people though Shen long would be
*sheng
Whoa, whoa, whoa, so you're saying...mah boi, Kenshiro, would've been in Street Fighter?!
If you have the PC version of SSF4, there is an available skin mod for Fei Long that changes one of his costumes into Kenshiro.
NitemareZero147 Thanks for the info but I want Kenshiro, not Kenshiro Long. Lol.
***** Haha, that was funny. So I guess you read/watched Fist of the North Star.
LMAO! "Zangief's original name was Vodka Garbalksi"
More Jojo related inspiration: Dhalsim's stretchy arms were inspired by Jonathan Joestar's Hamon abilities which the creator has stated weren't nearly dramatic at the start of development and just kept getting longer and longer with each iteration.
Guile's theme really does go with everything. Especially videos actually about Street Fighter~
I dunno, I'm so used to hearing it over Borderlands 2 videos at this point...
Megaton Aaron
Are you saying...Guile's theme *doesn't* go with something?
doommagic
Absolutely not. I'm saying I think it goes better with Borderlands videos than Street Fighter videos, though it goes well with both. Though I could be insane, too.
I really like the riot cop and the Ugandan chief, not gonna lie. Having Gen back in SF2 would have been interesting, too, but at least he came back in Street Fighter Alpha and SF4.
Part 2!!
5:39 "Ugandan Mystic" The Kunckles meme has tainted me.
Street Fighter needs more Kenshiro, goddamn that would be the best!
Kenshiro would be so OP as soon as the opponent shows up they're already dead...
..... No.
Surprised they didn't mention that Final Fight was intended as a SF sequel before SFII was announced, and that Haggar was originally meant to be in SFII, but replaced by the newly created Zangief (hence their similarities in moves/style).
Part 2 speculation go!
You should see the amount of SF trivia on the site. All of that would never fit into one video unless it was like an hour long or something.
No Zubaz!? Can you feel the raging storm!?!?
Oh come on, no one watched Fighterpedia!
RagingPacifist What's fighterpedia?

Not true everyone watched the first episode.

This needs to be done.
Awww man, I wanted to play as a policeman with the riot shield.
you forgot to mention some characters were influenced by the popular manga in Japan "jojo's bizarre adventure " this include guile being based off stroheim,rose being based off lisa Lisa and juri being based off jolyne kujo
It's so weird having Max on DYKGaming, I've been following him from back when he wasn't that big on TH-cam yet. Well done man!
Did you know that Ken's theme was an inspiration from a song called Mighty Wings by a band called Cheap Tricks. This song was used in the movie Top Gun starting Tom Cruise
max was the best choice for this did you know gaming
Haha, I can see why they changed Blanka. He's a slave in that picture.
>No mention of zubaz. !!!?
Confirmed, Max watched Fighterpedia, whatever that is.
nobody even knows.
nobody
Did this Fighterpedia even happen?

I'm pretty sure woolie doesnt actually even exist. It's actually Billy in a Woolie costume.
3:48 Well, the combo system was more of a side effect rather than a bug. According to Motohide Eshiro, one of the original SF2 programmers:
"Early on in development it became clear that we were being a little too strict and a little too severe with the input methods... So, we decided to open up that timing a little bit, just by a few frames, so that if you hit that punch button within those few frames you'd be OK and your fireball would work. And as a side effect of that... players could perform combos."

Really interesting didn't know that there was so much behind the scenes and characters!
The engine that's front and center at 0:18 is an Amtrak EMD F40PH.
guile's theme really does fit everywhere
So does Space Jam.
Wow, Fatal Fury was made by the same guys who made Street Fighter 1? This actually explains a lot.
yup its true. also, Fatal Fury came on after a month from the debut
of SF2. also, SF4 is made by the same guys since they left after the bankruptcy of the first SNK and made the studio called Dimps. funny how things go full circle.
Aww, how could you forget Zubaz at the very end?
Guess he couldn't feel the storm...
Noble Jedi I could feel it ... it was amazing
You should add a correction at 0:44 explaining that Megaman was created by Akira Kitamura, not Keiji Inafune. By his own admission Inafune merely turned him into a drawing from sprites shown to him by Kitamura.
Shoutout to Max for the commentary
this channel is amazing C:
YO! Videogames
MAX you forgot Zubaz as a discarded character for Street Fighter 2!
The Storm is coming
That was the most convincing text to speech software I've ever heard.
awesome, love this video, learned so much about one of my favorite franchises
The only trivia I know is that Akumas design is based off of the character Nosferatu Zodd from the anime Berserk.
You forgot to mention that a lot of characters were based jojos bizarre adventure characters
What no Zubaz?
The storm is too much for mere Street Fighter.
DYKG, you couldn’t have chosen a more perfect person for this video.
WE NEED PART 2!
*Cough* Evo Moment #37 *Cough*
This is one of the best videos!! Not just because I love the subject matter but because it includes so much unused and scrapped material from development which I find to be incredibly fascinating.
Did anyone else think the original sketch of Blanca looked like a black slave in chains? I wonder if the idea was originally scrapped because of the possible controversy...
4:35 EVO moment 37!
What?
How do you make a Hulk Hogan expy without a mustache!
Apparently by pretending his mustache is a mid back pony tail
I can tell you’ve been on tv tropes lately...
That explains why Guile's theme goes with everything. Because America goes in every country.
Wow, the manga reference to the designs of Ryu and Sagat are pretty crazy 0:48. I heard, as a fan of Muay Thai, that Sagat was actually influenced by legendary Muay Thai fighter Sakad Petchyindee.
+ThyChrysanthemum Whoah! I did a google search and his stance does resemble that of Sagat! I mean the crouching style.
here i am with about a bunch of videos with max after i watch this video, i love you max, never change
I always felt the English names better suited the boss characters than the Japanese ones.
Honestly when I first played SF2 I thought Balrog(boxer) was a weird name for him. I just chalked it up to Japan being Japan lol.
Specially since Vega is actually a Spanish word.
+Tonyair vega is actualy a Spanish surname
Son las dos cosas.
Im fine with Bison and Vega
Balrog is an aweful name though
Hello did you know gaming i was wondering if you guys can do a "did you King of Fighters" because i feel like this series has a lot of history to explore. Thank you and keep up the good work.
A5Player1 we need king of fighters
No mention on Zubaz?
What the heck! A storm is coming, CAN YOU FEEL IT!
Once again, great job! I hope to see a follow up video to this one.
Yike's at crediting Inafune as both the creator of Mega Man and the character designer for Ryu and Sagat.
You guys need to do a DYK on King of Fighters.
did you know,the first street fighter...exists
+Xavier Gonzalez And the DX cab used only one punch and one kick button. HUGE buttons. The harder you hit the more damage the attack did.
+Red Bemani Like how ryu works in smash beos today
Red Bemani attack its weak poiny for MASSIVE damage
+Xavier Gonzalez yes i'm very aware of street fighter 2, i think we all are
...as Fighting Street on the TurboGrafx 16 CD.
I still think Capcom should bring back Li, Retsu, Geki, Joe, and Mike for further Street Fighter sequels since some fighting games have all their original fighters in sequels.
Max needs to be in a killer Instinct episode
He would probably do a rant on fulgore and get off topic
Lets not get KI involved since Fulgornia.
Really a lot of fun seeing max on here. Good information as well.
5:58 That's Nam from Dragon Ball...
