Walking into an arcade in the 1990s and hearing people playing SF2 before you could even see the machine was awesome. That machine was louder than all the rest. You could hear "HADOKEN!, HADOKEN!, ....SHORYUKEN!" from across the arcade. It was almost intimidating as a young kid. What a great game.
What an amazing memory that moment in time gutted its not that way anymore . I was genuinely blown away recently where my partner and I live in England we went to stay at her friend's and she lives right near a place called Barry Island beach and it has a ton of arcades with game cabinets galore and it was heaven when I was young anyway this time I went in to have a quick go on one and I'm not joking there was not 1 single fuckjng game cabinet with sticks and buttons not fucking 1 the closest they had to anything there was shooting or racing games , mostly gambling or trivia bullshit not a single gaming arcade cabinet in sight and that was the same in each of the arcades there baring in mind to the beachfront used to have at least 6 huge arcades with tons of games in each now though not 1 . Sad fucking time
Arcade is the best place to play VS game. Online vs can never replace the real excitement of sitting next to a stranger. The tension were super high. And we all made lots of friends in the arcade.
I can't believe people are coming to me talking about High Score on Netflix, when this channel exists with way better editing, research, flow, narration, and presentation. I hope you guys one day get the recognition you deserve.
answer: Netflix is woke(tm). It's an outlet that is interested in pushing woke propaganda. in contrast, this TH-cam channel is simply interested in quality & facts.
Now that I’m 40 I would never thought I will actually get to see how streetfighter 2 was made. This is probably the best Christmas present I’ve had in my lifetime.
Same bro, 38 years old here and used to watch over the older kids playing it at a local milk mart convenience store when I was 5-6 years old here in Toronto Canada ..one day I had 2 milk jugs to return they gave me 50 cents..it was empty and I played street fighter 2 arcade in that shop and and I think that was it for me ... was a fan all my life until today. (street fighter 3rd strike was the last one is really enjoyed, not into the newer ones with the 3d style animations and goofy looking characters)
One of the best effects of this game was the slow motion after the knockout! It added so much drama seeing the whole game slow down as you beat your opponent
I genuinely wish TH-cam didn't take such a "quantity over quality" approach to picking which channels get promoted. We need more channels willing to take time and care when making videos, like Strafefox's work.
I hear you. TH-cam algorithm is all about pushing garbage. It does not favor content creators who take its time to make a thorough and well crafted piece. What's worse is that it rather pushes creators to change to lower its quality in order to produce more frequently. I much rather have quality recommendations like strafefox than all the garbage it offers me everyday.
Noclip are great too, and Archipel... and others I can't think of right now. Splash Wave is awesome, but to say that these are "by far" the best docs makes it sound a bit like you haven't been watching anything else, or you're just friends with the guy, lol. ;) We're lucky that there are so many wonderful content creators out there. :) P.S. Cool work BTW :P
My friend’s son always wants to play this game on my Switch collection when they come over. This proves to me that Street Fighter II is timeless. Weirdly tonight the lad came over wanting to play King of Fighters 97. Very specific
Ok, you are the best content creator I've ever seen. Everything is top notch and the editing is amazing. And you don't throw in a joke here and there like other TH-camr, you just get to the point. Even though you take a lot of time to make a new video, the wait is always worth it!
Great post. I'm in my 40's now, but I still remember going to the arcade at 12 or 13 years old to play Final Fight and instead seeing a big crowd around a new machine, then instantly falling in love with the game when I saw it. It was a real evolutionary leap in gameplay and graphics.
Same. I dominated the arcade at SF Alpha. I had like 20+ winning streak and challengers lined up to try to beat me until I got really tired and finally lost. Everybody knew i was the king of SFA at that arcade.
@@brahmoone Tekken tag 2 was a big fail and tekken 7 sold good thanks to the aggressive marketing strategies. It's a low budget game with many balancing and gameplay problems and at the end they turned tekken 7 into a 2d game as well. To be honest you will never seen any game having a real impact like SFII or tekken III anymore but if they don't introduce real innovations.
To see my childhood so lovingly depicted and the dedication and pure joy of the developers shown here in all their naivety of what they would build together....it feels so weird to be a part of history in this way now. I see why people get more and more attached to the world the more they engage with it, it's a very carthartic feeling indeed.
The level of creativity and quality of the game is so high, with your documentary you can really understand why it became the phenomenon it was, you did a fantastic job of presenting it.
Such a beautiful video! The art direction, aesthetics, 3d effects, transitions, color harmony, sound, and narration are above and beyond! Congratulations Jeroen! 1 new subscriber here from the Philippines!
The animation was really beautiful for this game...so detailed. I remember pausing in the middle of special moves to see the various intricacies of the move and facial expressions of the fighters. Must have spent hours playing around with this alone. Best game ever for me.
It’s amazing how literally every aspect of this game is memorable and iconic. The characters, the music, the backgrounds the special moves. Show a picture of the background of any stage in this game and most people who spent any amount of time playing it as a kid will be able to tell you which characters stage it is. Same thing if you play a music track.
I played Killer Instinct a ton when it was new the arcades, love that game. I'm planning to include a bit of KI in an updated DKC video as the 2 were intertwined.
@@ochaco31 Yes sure, the concept and characters were really interesting. My first vs fighter on the Mega-Drive was Deadly Moves which in retrospect wasn't that good but I still had fun playing it with a friend :)
One of the greatest games ever made, the first time I saw this at timezone Swanson street in Melbourne I was blown away, I've never seen a crowd so big around a single arcade cabinet!
Sick, sick first rate - all around - production value in these Docs! I love the history of gaming and art from the 80's and 90's. It is such a unique trifecta of, tech, art and business.
It's been a little while since the last video, but the wait is always worth it. I get excited when I see that notification, I just know its going to be some quality content.
In all the years I've watched making / history of series, your content beats em' all. I remember when G4 tv first aired 'Icons', and since that time I missed stuff like that. Until I stumbled across your channel and was instantly hooked! Each video has brought back great memories from my childhood, but in a fresh perspective. Truly inspiring! The level of polish, information and details is incredible. Thank you for all your hard work!
Grew up with final fight and sf2 in the arcades and playing them on home computer and consoles. Later on of course mame and other emulations. Still the 2 fighting games I appreciate the most. They never bore even after nearly 30 or so years.
Ah, Street Fighter 2 the classic timeless master of all fighting games. Just like usually, Strafefox made another great video about classic game and never disappoints me. This what I have heard about the development of Street Fighter 2 home console ports: Porting Street Fighter 2 to Mega Drive was problematic for Capcom due to Nintendo was trying to make sure home console ports of The World Warrior and Turbo are SNES exclusive. Luckily Nintendo did allow Champion Edition to be ported to other home consoles. Sega also demanded Capcom to include gameplay content from SNES port of Turbo in Mega Drive release.
Really enjoy your delivery style, and very detailed. You did your homework. Subscribed! I was born in '84, and remember always playing this at my friend's house on his SNES. I always wanted to go to the arcade, but my parents never would let me.
You did a great job covering a childhood classic such as this. I remember playing Street Fighter back in the 90s when I was a kid. Things such as Street Fighter always have a warm place in my heart as they remind me of the good times I had when I was younger. I appreciate that and you just gained yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to more content from you. Especially things covering the 90s and the early 2000s.
Yep we were so lucky, I will never forget the first time I laid my eyes on double dragon, shinobi, final fight , street fighter 2, mortal Kombat and the neo geo cabinet just to name a few.
Why this channel is not more popular and have more followers escapes me. Hope you continued to cover more games from popular to obscure. Legend of Legaia, R-Type, Ninja Gaiden, God of War, Metroid, MDK, whatever. 🤗
im 47...this was such a great game, its seamless transfer to Nintendo was simply amazing though, it was really like playing the arcade game at home. hands down my favorite game, and one that i was actually good at.
I love all of your videos, and this one is no exception. Immaculately professional, thoroughly researched, and delightfully insightful, as always. Thank you so much for the hours of enlightening entertainment.
what a time to be alive. Despite all the technical restrictions, it looked like it would have been so fun and exciting to be on the original concept artist team
I remember being a kid and visiting my brother in hospital when he had got his fingers caught in his bike chain. Upon visitation I remember a seeing a tv next to his bed. Next to the TV was a super Nintendo, in that Nintendo was a game cartridge, on that game cartridge was a sticker and that sticker read Street Fighter 2 it was the first game I ever played (or at least that I can remember) This was amazing to watch honestly!
@@SerBallister she left Capcom and joined Square, she composed stuff like Super Mario RPG, Parasite Eve, Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy XV, the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise and many others, lady's a legend
Hm, never had that game on Mega CD (or, in fact, anything. I don't think I've even played a FF game. Even on emulators). I didn't even know there was a Mega CD version. Guess I missed out. But I had Street Fighter 2 on the SNES, a Japanese copy, the boss characters still all had their original names. Then I also got the Championship Edition on Mega Drive. And then Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo on SNES. 3 versions of that one game. My brother would later get the HD remake on PS3. So that's 4 versions for him.
An outstanding documentary of the greatest fighting game and series in existence. And to think, we’re only less than a year away from Street Fighter 6.
I'm amazed at all the detailed tangents of information in your videos, which combined, gives the viewer so much more interesting stuff to consider, (and learn from!). Thanks!
Absolutely superb video, convinced me to join your Patreon! Keep up the great work. A similar video on Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter, or the first Deus Ex would be an instant favourite :)
I can't even explain to my kids what is was like at the age of 8 to all pile into the video shop after school and play a street fighter 2 tournament with my mates. There was always that one kid in the area who could absolutely destroy everybody. Great days. Great game
Do you guys know that meme "Mom, I want Street Fighter!... Mom: We have Street Fighter at home!" Well, I had a Sega at home and I suffered many years because I didn't know why my Street Fighter sucked donkey ballz compared to the one at the arcades. This left me scarred at least a decade until I grew up and learned about pcs, ports and whatnots. Damn, nostalgia feels are so powerful.
Man such a magical statement, "someone had 85 wins with zangief so we had to tone him down a bit". Today's age the that would translate to "ok the new upcoming patch will include.....themed skins"
I usually dont like to look behind the curtains to see how the magic is made but for this game I made an exception. This was awesome to watch, thank you.
Walking into an arcade in the 1990s and hearing people playing SF2 before you could even see the machine was awesome. That machine was louder than all the rest. You could hear "HADOKEN!, HADOKEN!, ....SHORYUKEN!" from across the arcade. It was almost intimidating as a young kid. What a great game.
Yes my man you hit it right on the head. The sound from this game was awesome. Nothing was like this game in the arcades.
I’ve been to Galloping Ghost Arcade twice and I can hear it very well.
What an amazing memory that moment in time gutted its not that way anymore . I was genuinely blown away recently where my partner and I live in England we went to stay at her friend's and she lives right near a place called Barry Island beach and it has a ton of arcades with game cabinets galore and it was heaven when I was young anyway this time I went in to have a quick go on one and I'm not joking there was not 1 single fuckjng game cabinet with sticks and buttons not fucking 1 the closest they had to anything there was shooting or racing games , mostly gambling or trivia bullshit not a single gaming arcade cabinet in sight and that was the same in each of the arcades there baring in mind to the beachfront used to have at least 6 huge arcades with tons of games in each now though not 1 . Sad fucking time
Arcade is the best place to play VS game. Online vs can never replace the real excitement of sitting next to a stranger. The tension were super high. And we all made lots of friends in the arcade.
This deserves a resounding, bit-crushed, "Perfect!"

true.. This day when mom put the box close to my pilow. one of the best day of my life (after the day had to get my neo geo :)
39 and my brother just sent me this gem. So many things I didn't know and some things I thought I knew were proven true. Subscribing!!
It's troubling if this is truly the best gift you've ever received. I assume you're exaggerating for dramatic purposes. If not.... I feel for you
@@senseiseagal1983 let him live, man.
One of the best effects of this game was the slow motion after the knockout! It added so much drama seeing the whole game slow down as you beat your opponent
Literally designed for bragging rights
Great point
It happens after you beat board as well in final fight

Less people need to think making videos is a real job. They take this videos way to seriously
Sadly it's all down to money, TH-camrs who produce a lot of content (often of poor quality) also means that a lot more ads are broadcast.
So true
So true.
These are by far the highest quality game docs out there. We're always looking forward to em!

15:19 fist-pumping in a Bart Simpson t-shirt while playing Street Fighter II encapsulates the early 90's better than anything I can imagine!
Street fighter 2 always never gets old. Thank you for the childhood memories to all Capcom staff
Great post. I'm in my 40's now, but I still remember going to the arcade at 12 or 13 years old to play Final Fight and instead seeing a big crowd around a new machine, then instantly falling in love with the game when I saw it. It was a real evolutionary leap in gameplay and graphics.

Streetfighter was, is and always will be the ultimate best fighting game.
back in 90s yes, but they suck now especially on 3D. Tekken ftw

Absolutely. I grew up playing SF2 in the 90’s. I still learn new things all the time.
This is hands down the best Street Fighter documentary I've ever watched!
This game was just absolutely perfect in any aspect.
Had lots of childhood flashback when watching this docu. Thanks a lot!
Yes it is, of course
Once of the greatest video games of all time. I remember the first time I played SF 2 at my local arcade back in 91. Amazing memories
Thanks for posting this, I'm 38 and been a fan of SF2 since I was 6. A masterpiece
The quality of those documentaries is insane, not only the base of it but all the 2D and 3D video editing just add to the whole experience
I’m glad you make videos about the making of the game, instead of just reviewing the game itself. Thank you!
I'll repeat this forever.. best channel on TH-cam hands down
The videos are bad but the games are interesting !!

Such an entertaining and informative video. Hearing that Street Fighter II music instantly brought me back to a mid-90s Pizza Hut.
It amazes me how much time and research was put into this video

Excellent work as always! I'm especially liking the Mega-CD Final Fight soundtrack in the background.
Big fan here. Have you ever worked on videogame art?
Hm, never had that game on Mega CD (or, in fact, anything. I don't think I've even played a FF game. Even on emulators). I didn't even know there was a Mega CD version. Guess I missed out.
But I had Street Fighter 2 on the SNES, a Japanese copy, the boss characters still all had their original names.
Then I also got the Championship Edition on Mega Drive.
And then Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo on SNES.
3 versions of that one game.
My brother would later get the HD remake on PS3. So that's 4 versions for him.
Best version of final fight was the mega cd!

The biggest Masterpiece in videogames history: Her Majesty Street Fighter II...
Do you guys know that meme
"Mom, I want Street Fighter!...
Mom: We have Street Fighter at home!"
Well, I had a Sega at home and I suffered many years because I didn't know why my Street Fighter sucked donkey ballz compared to the one at the arcades. This left me scarred at least a decade until I grew up and learned about pcs, ports and whatnots. Damn, nostalgia feels are so powerful.
I learned that with the NES and my ONE PLAYER DOUBLE DRAGON! 🤬🤣
Man such a magical statement, "someone had 85 wins with zangief so we had to tone him down a bit". Today's age the that would translate to "ok the new upcoming patch will include.....themed skins"
I'm glad you don't pollute these videos with subscribers requests and what not. Just a pure documentary.
I usually dont like to look behind the curtains to see how the magic is made but for this game I made an exception. This was awesome to watch, thank you.
