10 years later this still slaps
We’re getting old
And 10yrs ago saying "it slaps" wasn't old lol
This dude just recorded what we've all been doing for the last 30 years in our head. Genius!
With bonus kitty cameos! 😂
His Papa would be honored.
What bout his mama?
Papapapapa love it
Lol I just got the joke smh
blah blah. u clown
Hahahaha nice one
If I had eight heads this is definitely how I'd spend my day.

😂😂😂😂😂im weak asf
What else you gonna do?

If I had 8 heads I’d spend my day trying to not be impaled on someone’s pitchfork.
Does anyone noticed how clear are his low tones? The scale of his voice is incredibly wide, and clear!
And your english, as a Pole, is KURWA NIESAMOWITY
@@marcopolio6591 😂😂😂😂ahaha
low tones isn’t the incredible part to me, those high tones are so clear :o
I'd need a specific video about scale of voice to decide that. In this his lows are quiet and almost muddy
@@BodywiseMustard Mute City?
this guy does a fantastic job in making it seem as if it is he who sings with all these small boxes of him but if you look closely sometimes you can see him making mistakes with his lip syncing. it is actually the cat, which i initially only thought were handling the drums, which is singing.
Examples?
Richard Zu examples of when the cat is singing? of course! what about 0:24? so obvious.
I'm pretty sure that Smooth McGroove is one of those dog-operated puppets that's been adapted for use by a cat.
***** what do you mean?
***** but how can you be sure that it isn't the cat that is singing?
Play it back at 1.5 speed for the version at the end of a fight when someone's weak.
Sounds so much better at this speed!
LoL damn I did it that shit is spot on 😆
HAHAHAHA forrealz 😂
1.25 is more accurate.
Noted
Friend: what music you listen to?
Me:...its complicated
.
haha❤

To each their own in Music preference.
I listen to Game Soundtracks as well, and have no regrets when people ask about it.
I have the same response

That first note was so epic, it made me want rip off my shirt and do a shoryuken. and then buy a new shirt to cover my shame
Yeah i know you...
I gotta hit the gym...
@Jonny Chung - Good thing Smooth McGroove sells t-shirts to replace the one you ripped. ;)
Just do like Ryu and throw endless hadokens😂
You must be peter griffin
Nearly a decade old & this is still epic in 2022 💯🔥
23!
Será que ele não postará mais?
@@stimpaxx24 now
On a day off ,discovered my childhood again after 15 years, i am 31 now , u got me in tears man😣 this is amazing.
Ryu: there is no one like me
Capcom: show ryu Ken
You get my thumbs up man 🤣👍
That's actually insane man. Good joke 😂👍
Smart 🤔😂😂😂
wooooow that so dope!!! so many meanings in such a small line! kudos!
Underrated comment
''papapapa papa pa pa''
Pedro Souza somehow, I feel I know what part you are talking about
jajaja
1:00
The fact I could hear which part you meant in my head is epic.....
@@AntoniyoGreenwood cause from the start till the end it sounds papapapapa 🙄😄
I dragon punched my niece when I heard this.
Lol
Into an oil drum?
On street fighter... lol
I bet that would've made for one awesome replay.
😂🤞😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I get goosebumps every time I hear this. You are fucking incredible McGroove, this is more than perfect!
Top left looks like he has been asked to be there but doesn't know why.
You my good sir, have commented on a 3 year old video, and received a heart. My utmost respect
Lol
Middle top McGroove was really bringin' it.
+poshko41 He's the one that inspires me most:)
It's because that's the one that has the melody! 😁
😂🤣....you made me look and YES he was bringing the HEAT
Destroying. It. My. Man.
Love the snare drum-like sounds. They punctuate the song so well it feels like having an old school **pow** in every beat!
For the longest time I couldn't get the Guile theme out of my head, now it's this.
I only recently started listening to Smooth McGroove and I have to say, I love it whenever the cat makes a cameo
This has been my ringtone ever since you released this video. Daaamn.
much approved
lol me too bro
Me too, now everyone complains ´cause I don’t answer the phone anymore
Ryu’s and this one play in my head during TKD sparring class.
Gives me such a boost. Keep it up Smooth!
This is beautiful. Thank you. I love this song and that game. Good memories. Your version is unique.
This is great. You've made me login to give a like.
あねかなひらひ、やにま
わにやわなわにかやま やあまたなだたなまかたかまなきまなはわなは
Smooth McGroove must have said the word "Baaaa" more then anything else in his life at this point. Great cover
Wankface MacDoodle Plot twist: Smoothie is actually part goat.
Torcularis you mean sheep....goats bleet, sheep say baa....not hating just helping out
i think i have seen this video of you for more than 100 times and it is still worth watching
no puede ser pero si es pato asado
Meinen Respekt!!
In ihren Liedern steckt viel Herzblut und eine Menge Arbeit.
💪👍💪
pa pa papaaa pa pa pa paa pa
The lyrics... nailed it..
This is Awesome - Ken's Stage was by far the best Musically in Street Fighter 2
well a while ago you said you couldnt decide between this one and guile's (on the guiles theme comment section)
lolololol....
They are both great though
I think the snare is bottom left, with the kitty drumming
C'est toujours un plaisir d'écouter les capellas Smooth Mcgroove
Might be three years late commenting on this, but I'm seriously addicted to these 'covers'. I've always said that it's music that makes retro videogames great, and then complete experience, and you just bring that to light. I'd love if you did some other classic SF tunes, like Balrog's for example!
Go Home And Be A Family Man
Wait wrong character...
Ken Masters: The only one who listened to Guile
Klaid Dael Guile and Ken are brother-in-laws, so Ken knew him better to trust his opinion :) They're married to two sisters, Eliza and Julia (also named Jane previously).
And I thought I knew too much about Street Fighter canon. Bravo good sir.
***** ''Attack me if you dare, I'll crush you''
Guile: Go home and be a He Man!
Oh wow... The nostalgia kicking in! Thank you so much. This one is by far my favorite.
I sing this alot at work, when people ask me what it is,i always refer them to this channel. This one is my fav! Soo good man!!
Smooth McGrove, you are amazing!!! So accurate your acapella, you live and share the passion of music and singing. You are a genius!! Thanks for share the inspiration men!
とても綺麗な声で癒されます。
Epic Beard
lol , so am i . mine only seem to grow under my chin . only have a few lost hairs on my cheeks haha
for 'MURICA
:{D>
I have definitely become a huge fan of your Street Fighter themes. Keep it going, man!
Dude I'm actually crying... I love the way you did this
Me: Can I get this on ITunes?
Smooth: Sure you can.
This Ken player was actually very good.
It's him playing.
Im Circles
Are you sure?
Very. Smooth always tries to get footage by playing the game himself. If he can't and it's someone else's video, he will say so in the description.
DaMattGuy
Impressive. Most impressive.
Bryan Merrill hmm yesh quite impressive
man, this is a job that requires real talent. I know you've experienced those games, music and sounds. you become one with it and you feel it. and it shows that you are a much more intelligent person than ordinary people. I think you can perceive emotions that ordinary people cannot feel, see and hear in life. because only someone with these features can do it. RESPECTS
Work is just absolutely fantastic bro!
Man the music from this game... and then looking at the graphics it looks like they aged well as well. Too fucking good. I'm gonna cry :D
Should try the HD remix they did of it. It's pretty fucking sweet. I have it on my PS3
It's so true. When it's done right the first time. It's timeless and there is no need really to change.. Like a bicycle, or a Jeep Wrangler!
Gotta admit, your voice is beautiful lol
HA!.....
I see what you did there!
I'm sure hes autotuned a bit
ha gay
This was great work man, I enjoyed it!
This is a masterpiece. You are the absolute genius!
Subscribed!!! Damn i've heard covers of these tunes but those are nothing like this! Genius!
I call "Hax" on your voice.
It's just too good! :D
Oh my... This tunes incredible nostalgic vibes! 6 years later, but... THANK YOU FOR THIS! 😁🤩🤘
you are the most authentic and original video maker on the entire youtube you do it for the love of the art and not for the likes or money in ADs
That cat makes the video everytime for me!
For me too, he just takes all my focus away!
Dude you're absolutely awesome! And I also love when your cute cat appears!! XD
The sound from down left pic drive me the most. Have a human power output vibe.
My favorite music from you. You did an amazing job here.
You know you're amazing when you surpass the original!
Jessica Trautman I guess you can call him a MASTER (cus Ken's last name is masters) Ill take my leave
sir soldier SURE-YOU-CAN!!!
Jessica Trautman
we all thought we sound this good playing mouth instrument music, until we see this
@@TheAyanamiRei 😄👍
OMG! My mind = blown! Just stumbled on this and subbed. You are a genius! Keep them coming.
+Anthony Momiroski YES! THIS IS DANTDM'S THEME!
+Trey Walker No. This is Ken's theme.
I know it as DanTDM's old theme.
My favorite fighter of all time! You do him great justice bro.
this puts smile on my face 😊 great memories from far past, thanks man!
I just went blind from overexposure to pure Awesomeness!
This man has the hair of a 20th level heavy metal wizard, the beard of Odin and the voice of GOD.
Extremely amazing!
Who the hell would give this a thumbs down!? This guy is seriously talented! Love your work dude - thanks!
HA! love it. I've subscribed.
Your profile picture makes this comment so much better.
XD
ESOFguy0134 woW wtf XD
i subbed straight away
McGroove is the king of vocal video game mixdowns, no question!
If you're a Ryu and/or Ken fan, I combined both themes into one song for 2 violins and piano. I also timed it to a double-KO gameplay video between Ryu and Ken. It's pretty epic and I invite you to come check it out!
You're great man! Love your Street Fighter covers :)
I re-played this song so many times while playing smash ultimate. You sir, have made a fan out of me 👍🏼
Yesssss
If you hold down "A" while pressing play his shirt changes to steel blue ...
Ken, the firts camper of history
lmao so true...
firts
Jesus Olvera That's Guile. Ken was a rushdown character in most games. Even Guile's moveset was designed so you had to hold Backwards 1-2 seconds to charge up the special move so he naturally became a character that either walks backwards constantly or crouches down in opportune situations and positions.
Samoutuomas Actually, Guile was mainly a rushdown character in ST. The only person to actually use a turtle Guile effectively in ST was Daigo.
Gimfigle496
I meant World Warrior. ST is obviously in a different ballpark.
This is one of my favourites.You have a beatiful voice.
ALWAYS MAKES ME WANNA CRY EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THIS...BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES
This is so god damn motivating.
The beginning to this song is so dark and sinister I fuckin love it
I can only hear it as "Ken's Theme" and as such I can't get myself to hear it in such a way. However I agree with you in loving in it! :D
(I only tried to view that way cuz I love "dark and sinister" type music, myself)
+TeddyPicker191 nah it's more of a epic build up
+TeddyPicker191 YES! THIS IS DANTDM'S THEME!
I always thought it was a boat horn
My fav theme in SF series..... base voice and breath control is awesome!!
I always listen to his streetfighter series when I work out at the gym. Thx bro!!
Extremely amazing! Love so much! Thank you!
髭面おじさんからこんな綺麗なpapaが聴けるとは…。
高評価ポチッ
GENIOOOO !! SOS UN GENIOOO CHABON MUY BUENO TU VIDEO JAJJAAJAJA EXELENTE
Omg you are the best for this I can't stop listening to it
So great. Please continue
I like how the top middle box smooth is looking at me as if he is caressing me to sleep like a lover. God damn.
Imagine this guy beating you in street fighter perfect round every time while singing acapella. *mindblown*
anyone can do it
It's one of the more impresive, great job !!!
AMAZING!!! Congrats!! Mega like
balrog theme please :)
YUS, do it smooth
Yes yes yes
Oh hell yes
wait a minute.....
Shoryuken.
Sho ryuken
Sho ryu ken
Show Ryu Ken.
*George* *Takei* : "Ooooh myyy..."
fun fact: 'ryu' is Japanese for 'dragon' and 'ken' is Japanese for 'fist', so all together, 'shoryuken' means 'Rising Dragon Fist'
Xarazel 23 years playing street fighter and I didn't know that, LOL.
fun fact 2: in braziian protuguese "sho" sounds like "xô", which means "get out" or "excuse me" in a rude way. So "piss off, Ryu and Ken!".
also, 'Hadouken' means 'Wave Motion Fist'
That made me laugh. lol
de vez en cuando, es bueno venir a escucharte de nuevo
One word: Bravo.
You are of incomparable precision with the original.
This explains why a lot of people prefer Ken over Ryu. Ken's theme is much more badass!
When I was a kid in the 90's, there was some false notion that "red" Ken was stronger than Ryu (his moves did more damage) but it isn't true. Their moves did the same damage. On Super Street Fighter II: The New Challenger, Ryu's moves actually do more damage than Ken's weak moves. Ken's "fire" upper cut move if you only connected barely would do about as much as a weak punch.
vaibanez17 Ken was angry. Therefore Ken was better.......
vaibanez17 If I remember correctly Ken's shoruken had a wider horizontal movement, increasing the hit box. There were subtle tactical differences which kinda balanced them out, I think.
Not only that, Ken is faster, has better hurricane kick and a better shoryuken. Of course his stage is way better too...
manniman82 You sir Have offended Ryu's honor I shall smack thi with rightouse fury
LMao! I'm sorry, this is an amazing use of the internet. But your beard coupled with your facial expressions are absolutely hilarious. Like a viking singing Capcom songs or something. lol
Thank you for this, you made my day!
his facial expressions are hilarious especially the center far right one in his bloody tears a capella it looks like he was having a conversation
I come back to this so often, Kens such a great character
Dude...thank you...honestly this epic
2am. This is my life now
My favorite tune
TASUMAKI SENPUYAKU
Thanks for uploading!
GG trop stylé ! Et toutes les autres sont craquées aussi
Street Fighter 2 rules!!! excellent!!!
"Perfect", not "Excellent". See, "Excellent" is MK and...never mind.
you will not tell me anything that I dont know about this game
Like Mike Bison originally was a boxer and Balrog was a dude in a red outfit?
Adam Armstrong Correction, Vega's original name was Balrog, and M. Bison's original name was Vega
WhiplashWiFi I almost went with "Ken's original name was Balrog", but I thought that was too easy, haha. Good on ya.
Ken = Owen Wilson
Biankito No.
Biankito ken is way more awesome than owen!
GustaveTheSteel
Yes.
Biankito Makes no sense to talk about ;-)
GustaveTheSteel
Fine ;-)
Man this will never get old...its a 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome keep it up man! Ken is my favorite player in SF series.
