FINALLY!!! For years, those of us in the FGC and KLOV had been searching and trying to bring SF1 artwork back to life! SF1 has a few variations, and I myself did the RYU crash sideart. But...Lo and behold you guys, and gals pulled one of the most difficult, original arcade restorations of all time!!!!
I can not find the words for the amount of awe this video has. Bravo!! BRAVO!!
Thank you!
What an amazing video. In 87 me and the boys would play this with the big buttons. Game changed my life. Huge street fighter/fighting game fan for 40+ years.
I remember playing it without the big ole buttons and was like what the hell??!! Lol.
The time it took you and your crew to do all that hard work is super appreciated sir!!!!
Thank you
Did you play Rtype back in 87-88? If so how far did you get?
@@justincarroll1313 yes! We have one in the collection. Just needs some TLC before it hits the floor.
First thing when the video started I thought "I hope they know about the mugen version!" and sure enough you went down that route. The end result looks fantastic.
I found this on the floor the other night before you guys released this video. I almost dropped my drink. I didn't think I'd ever play this in person.... I did not beat the first opponent. Awesome job guys. A landmark project.
Thank you!
They had one of these original SF cabs in a local arcade near me back in the day, it still had the giant pressure sensitive buttons as it had never been converted to the 6 button layout. I think alot of people, even some hardcore SFII players, don't realize where and WHY the SFII 6 button layout actually originated.
Wow didn’t know that
The reason it got swapped out is because people are rumoured to have broken their hands punching hard..
@@garystinten9339 oh dang, that's rough
When he said rarest in the title, thats what I thought this was gonna be, but this is still pretty damn cool either way
Just a year or two ago, most people were convinced that the pressure button version of the game was never released in the US. Well, we had one at our mall's arcade in Tulsa. One of the only games that I actually played (with real quarters) in those years. The fact that there were secret moves you could pull out with joystick/button combinations was just as novel as having a fighting game that was more or less playable and responsive (unlike Yie Ar Kung Fu or Karate Champ). I don't think anyone ever figured out how to do the "uppercut that sometimes comes out when you're trying to fireball" while the cabinet was there. The buttons pretty quickly wore giant seams around almost the entire perimeter.
"All of the World" Yep, played that back in the day at the Arcades and still have fond memories, very difficult but fun. Excellent restoration took some time but worth every second and thank you for documenting the journey, what a great team effort.
What a gorgeous restoration and awesome cabinet. You all went above and beyond on this project.
Thank you!
I'll never forgot the sound it made when pound the buttons!! Gives me chills!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
What a work of art. Nice job guys. Congrats on the restore.
Thank you!
Phenomenal restoration! Congratulations! I was most impressed with recreating the artwork.
Thank you very much!
What an amazing restoration!!! Good for you guys and your collective efforts to bring the artwork back to life! Also, thanks for the shout-out @ 12:54-13:18! It was a great experience to be on set teaching the actors how to play Street Fighter and providing me the prototype side-art. I just moved to a home and will get back restoring my game this spring as it’s been sitting in storage since the movie wrapped. Take care
I'm so glad you liked it! I just watched your video the other day of you moving games inn the house. Pretty cool you got to teach the actors.
Everybody involved at this project is a hero!
Great video. Every bit of this is right up my alley and of my vintage. They had Street Fighter with the big pad buttons at my local arcade when I was a kid, Toobin' too.
This was super cool to see. I own an original 6-button SF1 cab that I restored about 10 years ago. Still runs today with its original PCB! Never thought I’d see someone put in all the work on the pneumatic cab, much less see another one again. Awesome job, looks great!
Amazing job guys! 👏 Signature Theatres in San Jose had this game with the big pneumatic buttons and it was "tough" to play! I remember it clearly. Kudos for restoring such an underappreciated Capcom classic!
much respect to the love and passion put into this in getting this as close to original as possible. just wow
Love that you have all the best versions of each SF game all living together as a happy family.
Awesome job y’all! Another classic saved by your hands! HADOUKEN!
You should be commended for all your efforts to resurrect this super classic cabinet. I really think there should be some kind of Academy awards of Arcade restoration & if there was you guys just won an Oscar 🎉♥️😍
wOW! You guys did an amazing job. I build arcade stuff (joysticks, cabs,pinball machines etc...) so I know it feels so good to finish a project and i can see the happiness (and relief) ya had when you got this done. absolutely amazing job!
Thank you!
Brilliant stuff! Really fun project. Great to see Ollie get a shout out too. Absolute pillar of the arcade community.
Every Barcade that I have been to essentially has a lot of the same games , but it is the uniqueness that will separate you from the pack. I plan on stopping by this weekend to play the mk1 ( custom ) cabinet and this Mk1 refresh. Keep the " what can differentiate us from everyone else " mindset, and your fans will love you for it. See you soon.
Sweet...who remembers this bad boy in Tilt at the parks mall?? Good times
Must have been when the Tilt was upstairs near the food court. Long time ago.
I had a friend break his hand on one of those lol
@@GRiNDWiZARD187 I was like 9 so I couldn't even press those damn buttons 🤣
I love it!! You killed it bro… awesome work to everyone that worked on this ..
Thank you
Nice work Mike, got some good memories playing it at the arcades in my town.
That cabinet bringa back so many memories! Great job on this one guys - looks super awesome!
Haltom City? Nice, that's a city or two away from me.
Looks great with it done. Got to play this at a laundry mat of all places decades ago. Game was bad. The version you have looks much better. With all the new games it's really time for another tour video.
It came out great, it really makes me sad that this cabinet is so rare as I remember playing it with the giant pressure sensitive buttons on it, you made the right choice putting the 6 button layout instead of trying for the pressure sensitive buttons as they sucked. Plus kids were breaking their wrists on them back in the day and they never held up as well. Either way great job.
You knocked it out of the park guys ⚾️ Well done 👍
I was there last week and played it. Y'all did a great job!
Thank you
Awesome!!
I think this came out great! Long time in the making but most of the best things are. Probably why subconsciously you chose the Mount Rushmore background 😂👌👌
Man, don't have the words to say how good of a job y'all did. Fantastic!
Thank you
I used to love playing the original Street Fighter with the pneumatic pads! It was so much fun pounding on those pads!
Incredible work! I dont have any nostalgia for this particular cabinet but loved watching this come together!
Im a passionate Street Fighter Fan. To see this Street Fighter Cabs together is a dream. Your team made it happen. My congratulations for that outstanding performance. Best regards
Thank you!
A hell of a job guys. Great work.👍🏽 I grew up going to arcades in my neighborhood and they never had the original Street Fighter. Amazing.👍🏽
This is AMAZING! Well done guys you are experts of experts to get this looking and playing like this. What a fantastic labour of love. Thank you for sharing! Oh how I'd love a go on that bad boy
Thank you very much!
The T molding on that looks so CLEAN ❤
Got me started in my love for Street Fighter. Pounded the hell out of those button pads.
I really like this restoration of arcades
IMO it was the cabinet that was so unique on this, it was incredibly well designed, and by designed I mean extremely functional and pleasing to the eye, and that is the synopsis of design.
Man, that's a pretty sweet cabinet right there.
Man I wished I lived closer than 10 hours away from you guys lol.
Brinley's hands and nails by the unwrap
Wow! Hell of a job guys!
Looks great! Amazing job!
Thank you!
Brings back memories.
Congrats, amazing work! I really like what you did bring it back to life, also with an updated version of street fight 1.
I remember those cabinets back at the bowling ally. They brought in Two machines and the line was always 5 people deep.
Not only did the restoration come out great, I love how it looks in the Arcade.Putting it at a diagonal going to the other games was a brilliant layout decision :)
Thank you!😊
Quel travail de fou !!! Je préfère toujours l'original mais là c'est un sacré beau taf de "reconstruction" !!! ❤
une vraie avec les boutons à air comprimé.. était à juan les pins
Wow, beautiful cab... You and the team did an awesome job!
Thank you
This is badass. Great Job.
Back in the day we had a arcade that had this with the big punch buttons!! This cab is def AMAZING.....it's the coolest cabinet that u guys own for sure!!!
You could take high-resolution photos of the art and make them available so we can vector-trace them and print new ones!
I played a Street Fighter arcade once. It was a game, and a piece of history even way back then when Street Fighter II was yet young.
[May have been that exact cabinet.]
So cool. Good job guys.
That thing looks amazing, great find!
Looks great. There used to be one with the pneumatic controls here in Houston at an arcade across from a dollar theater, good times.
Karate Champ ... any videos of that machine restoration anywhere?
Full Point!... Half Point! haha!
Hey is this the brother of The 8-bit Guy ?
Awesome dedication and it turned out great! One small detail that's bugging me, though. Did you ever catch that the control panel decals are on the wrong sides? It was bugging me all throughout the video. Fortunately it shouldn't be too hard to swap the sides.
Someone pointed it out. We will have to switch it
looks incredible!
I remember this game so well back in the 80's when it came out, there was nothing like it! Those pneumatic punch and kick buttons really made the game very physical, you really had to put effort into every punch and kick, just like you were really fighting in the game. The only bad thing was the horrible joystick response, this was well before Capcom made real strides in their control response with obviously, Street Fighter II. This was an absolute joy to watch, to see the resurrection of such an iconic game and you guys even improved on it using the Mugen version, which I have played on PC and it is a fantastic upgrade for the original game in every way. Thank you for sharing this! SHORYUKEN!!! 😎👍
I would have loved the giant buttons. But this is still great
Great job!! 👏🏼
Thank you!
Amazing! Truly Amazing. Fantastic job.
I legit beat that game on 1 credit. And this was on my first time playing it in twenty years.
Nice job, the game looks amazing! You could always have some clear plexiglass cut to protect the control panel decals so they don’t wear out.
Good idea!
Since this Street Fighter machine is going to be in an actual arcade, it makes perfect sense to replace the pneumatic buttons for the traditional six-button layout if only for safety concerns for both the cabinet and the players.
See this guy gets it! ;)
My first thought was "make a new one", but the restoration turned out very well. Congratulations! 👏
Haha, I would even know where to begin cutting to make this oddly shaped cabinet. Not that talented…
This game brought back memories when I was first introduced to the first Street Fighter world. first at the arcade at the mall and all the kids looking at everyone playing a game and see how far the player can go. its great to see your restoration and especially from scratch on the are work. also great to see that Mugen version of the Original SF game upgraded. those quaters at the mall back in the late 80's early 90's. 🎮🕹📺👍🏻
"One of those '80s viruses, probably one of the best ones you can get" - I can think of one fairly well-known virus from the '80s that you are still pretty wise to avoid.
That’s true
When I was a kid frequenting the arcades back in the 80s, Street Fighter II was the first Street Fighter game I played and I loved it. After playing it, I was always on the lookout for the first one, Street Fighter. That one was hard to find but SFII was like in every arcade. Until one day I walked into this little shabby arcade with only a few games and one of them was the first Street Fighter. Not the two button version but six buttons like SFII. Of course I had to try it. One thing I learned quickly was that the Shoryuken was way overpowered in the first one. You could only choose between Ken and Ryu which was fine by me because I always used Ken anyway. First match I started off like I do in SFII. Flying fierce, fierce punch, fierce Shoryuken. I landed the combo and won round 1. In SFII, when I land that combo, my opponent still has half his health left. But in Street Fighter, it was a surefire win. O was able to do that the whole game through, not losing a round and not getting hit once because I always managed to land that same combo every time. So I played again so I could see how strong the fierce Shoryuken is in the first one. I landed only the Shoryuken with my opponent at full health and he did get back up but all it took was a regular jab pinch to finish him.
I doubt this happened. If you know Street Fighter One, then you know just how unresponsive the controls are, and how ridiculously hard it is to make the special moves come out. Plus, there was no combos to have.
For you to play the original game, for the first time in your life, and beat the game without getting hit once is so farfetched it's ridiculous. I really think it's insulting that you think any real arcade fan who played this will believe your story.
Looks awesome guys, great work. Another one saved. Keep up the great video's.
You Guys and Gals did an Awesome Job. Congratulations on the Classic Cabinet!
Beautiful job on the project! Using the custom game makes a lot more sense. I remember playing the original Street Fighter once in a mall arcade. I don't know if it was using that cabinet shape, but I do remember it had normal buttons and not the pneumatic ones. Across from it in the arcade was Street Fighter the movie game so that's around the time frame (1995-ish). 😄
Super dope!
God street fighter was such a clunky game, thank God for the second one. Great vid!
How about for the next custom project you try an arcade cab of ninja turtles shredders revenge or any smash bros game? Other arcades have done some great jobs on these two games cabs.
whoaaaaaaaaaa.. soo cool they used the mugen version.. i super love this cabinet!!!!
I remember in Hong Kong seeing and playing SF1 for the first time. We used to clock it all the time. It was only in a NA lowboy, not the original cabinet. The original board you could only play as Ryu or Ken. The othe rplayers were the VS players. Birdie was super hard. Was brutally hard. Almost as hard to master as MK1 when that came out.
Beautiful
Amazing work, y'all! 🤘
I remember punching the pads. It hurt but was so worth it. Missed them days.
Personally, I'd have to have it be original with the pneumatic buttons, but since your intention was to have it actually be playable with the mugen remake, good call to go 6 button
My Pizza Hut had a street fighter they also have a salad bar that was a long time ago
This came out fantastic
Loved this video. The road from start to finish captured my attention. Thank you for filming this. Will you make the cabinet artwork available for anyone else who takes on a project like this?
Thank you for watching. I will see what I can do to make the art available. The problem is that I’m an amateur, haha, and someone wanting to really restore one of these is probably going to want something more exact. The community really needs to find someone with the art intact that will scan it.
I owned a Turbo Grafx 16 CD Rom with Fighting Street. That Remix soundtrack is 🔥
Your arcade looks awesome. Street Fighter, Killer Instinct, The Simpsons... Thats enough to get me in there.
Great job! It looks amazing.
LOL. I remember I was so small to push those big ass rubber buttons when I played at the arcade. Standing on the arcade booster and leaning my whole body on the button, almost laying on it with my whole palm on the button for 1 damn haduken haha. Nice pick up!
That looks awesome, really amazing.
Fantastic work!
There's some high resolution Street Fighter artwork in Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for PC which people have extracted from. You can also use a modern hand scanner to get the Ken and Ryu pictures on that front panel digitised and repurposed.
That KI 1 cab 👀
Clean! Awesome work!
LOVE the Martin House shirt. 🍻
this was awesome!! well done!
