- A playthrough of Capcom's 1992 versus-fighter for the Super Nintendo, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior.
Played through with Ken on the hardest difficulty level with no losses for the best possible ending.
I loved this game soooo much when it came out.
Everytime we went to the mall my parents would have to drag me away from the various demo kiosks in different stores that were all invariably playing the new SNES Street Fighter game. I don't remember very many games ever generating so much hype and fanfare on release, and though it's easy to dismiss it now in light of the changes made to the series over the past thirty years, this was the game that defined the genre in the modern sense. It took everything and put it together in a way that had never been done before, and most of its trappings are still with us in today's fancy 3D equivalents.
And it was on a Super Nintendo. And it was the first 16-megabit cart released in America, which spoke volumes. Nintendo was pretty much guaranteed to publish their own game on a new, upgraded cart size before letting the third-party developers have at it, but they understood the importance of the release for their brand, and in keeping it exclusive to the SNES, SF2 gave Nintendo a huge advantage over Sega at the time.
It looked incredible - not arcade-perfect, but it might as well have been in 1992. Nobody cared that the characters were smaller or that animation frames had been cut. It looked and felt close enough to the game that people waited in long lines to play. This was close enough of a facsimile that we were all stunned - the latest arcade blockbuster could actually be played at home.
I actually won a copy of this cart (even though I already had gotten it for Christmas) in a Nintendo Power contest! I got a call from the magazine, and about four months later a bubble-envelope showed up in the mail. I was confused when I opened it because the label was white and said "Not for Resale" across the top. It was SF2 sure enough, but I thought it was a special copy at the time, not just a media or store demo copy like I figured out later. It was neat to win, even if it just meant that my sister could use it so she would stop ganking my copy of the game to play in her room.
This game itself was a revolution, and probably only sits behind Mario in terms of how many times it's been blatantly copied. Very good stuff.

When this first came out for SNES back in 1992, finding a copy to buy in stores or rent in Blockbuster was damn near close to impossible.
I second that. I had to wait months to be able to rent it and it was only because I was in the right place at the right time (it had just been returned). I remember SF2 and Final Fantasy III/VI were the two hardest SNES to find in/available to rent at video stores near me in that era. They were both impossible to find at their respective releases. Searching for them was fun though. Those were the days.
In NY it was easy. Had trouble getting NBA JAM tho
@@milhousevanhouten3796 Ya NBA Jam was a phenomenon as well. That was hard to find too like you said. Breaking the backboard glass was awesome in that game.
Well, everyone likes SF II.
@@rjcupid Yeah man, I still load up nba jam on mame or ps1 from time to time.
With the Capcom Fighting Collection coming out today, I thought it would be fun to look back at the first console release of the game that defined the genre as we now know it. What a classic!
I always played it in arcade and in ps1 the Port, although I still respect the Port of snes
Happy release of Capcom Fighting Collection today, everybody! I'm so excited because I get to play some of these games for the first time ever, despite watching endless playthroughs of others and reading about them in magazines back in the day!
Try Super Street Fighter II.
Good pick!! I need to try this version again! SFII is typically one of the best ever!
Very impressive! You made that look effortless.
Ahhh yes the game that ruled many of my hours after the arcade version
the music in this game is freaking insane, nintendo and capcom are masters of OST
This game single-handedly won the console war in my eyes. For me, I would say Legend of Zelda Link To The Past and SF2 are the greatest SNES games. My friends and I played this game more than any other. Future versions may have improved certain elements, but for me this is still gaming perfection and the one we all played.
For me the greatest SNES game of all time is Chrono Trigger, but I agree that the two games you mentioned are top contenders as well. :) Super Mario World I think is the all-time best selling SNES cart, but honestly, SF2 is probably the one that solidified the win for the SNES vs Genesis in the 16-bit console wars.
@@Zaxares Chrono Trigger is definitely a hall of fame game. Super Mario World is also every bit as good as Zelda LTTP. I think those two games are the two I played the most in my lifetime. With the SNES there is no end to discussing masterpiece games because there are so many. Donkey Kong Country? Super Metroid? Final Fantasy II/IV, III/VI? Secret of Mana? Mega Man X?…And the list goes on and on and on. 😀
I kind of agree. I was a loyal Sega Genesis owner but for over 1 year I had to put up with my friends and classmates loving Street Fighter 2 and rubbing it in. Pre Mortal Kombat this was the most popular arcade game pretty much ever. Street Fighter 2 on Genesis when it did come out was awesome though.. But Seemed too late to win the console wars...
@@dbreiden83080The Genesis was amazing to behold early on (mostly before the SNES was released) and it had some shining moments, but the SNES was simply incredible. Especially later in it’s lifespan, the SNES threw one knockout punch after another with Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Final Fantasy III/VI, Chrono Trigger etc. I respect the Genesis a lot, but honestly the SNES was the ultimate console. That’s just my opinion though and from my life experience living through the era (I’m in my 40’s).
@@rjcupid
The Sega downfall mostly had to do with a need to always be first in the marketplace. They were ahead of the curve with the Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn etc. But the competition would usually wait it out and put out a superior product. Sadly their last system The Dreamcast was their best system far and away they ever produced, but again Sega failed to read the market correctly. They did NOT know DVD was about to blow up. Once PS 2 had a DVD player it was game over for Sega in the hardware business.
This got me emotional. it was my first snes game, back in 1993, and I remember like if it was yesterday. This game made me really happy and I had beautiful moments playing with my brother. Old games have such an incredible nostalgia power. Thanks for uploading. I watched the whole video.

Sim é muitas lembranças boas, é muita nostalgia.
Me too as im 90s kid world was not perfect but DAMN better than today don't know why tho? Cause technology is better maybe that's why? Anyways i loved this game aswell as Mario karts and star fox
Nothing was better than walking to the arcade with a pal pocket full of coins in your sky rocket good times and every now and then I look back at with fond memories
In the music video for The Notorious B.I.G.'s song Juicy they were actually playing Street Fighter II for the Super NES during Biggie's third verse
Interesting. Maybe I should listen to that.
"Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis...
When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this..."
@@Xx1SailorScoutxX Exactly.
It was pretty much common for someone who owned an SNES to have this version of the game in their collection.
This was the game that was sold with the snes in the first original release of the console. SF2 defined the term "system seller".
People weren't buying a supernes , they were buying street fighter 2.
This was the game I went with SNES for. I was a sports kid and cousin and best friend had Genesis and I loved the EA Sport games on Genesis but we moved and summer of 92 I spent with my older cousin a lot and he rented and first introduced me to Street Fighter 2. I was all set then. What a game. My parents who worked hard got me a SNES for my birthday but I felt bad SF2 was 69.99 at the time so I picked Turtles in Time as my first game since it was like 15 dollars cheaper and I'm glad I did because I still have that game too. Got SF2 for Christmas late 1992 and still have my copy to this day. Special to me. Getting rid of most of my videogames but keeping the 4-5 SNES games.
this was the only reason the snes even stood a chance in Europe.

Compared to what else in Europe?

This never ceases to take me back to 2007 when I was reliving the 90's in ways that were SO much better than what life was really like for me then. I had much fonder memories with the SF franchise that year. I even remember reading the old school Nintendo Power magazines and seeing this game in the top 20 charts. Street Fighter 2 roasted the number one spot for such a while.
I know I've said this before, but it needs to be said again - I love the write-up you do with every game you feature. They're always very well-written and it's really nice hearing about your thoughts on a game, or your personal history with it. Thanks for all you do, NC!
Np, and tyvm! 😊
These write ups and literally national treasures.
Agreed! I always read the descriptions before I watch NC’s videos. It is a very nice touch and they’re well written. It’s nice to watch videos of someone who is my age and experienced the history of gaming at the same time I did. Historical perspective and accuracy is important.
it was hard to comprehend that the game we all spend so many quarters on, was actually available to play for free from the comfy couch of your home. This game changed everything
When i hear the Ryu stage music i back in time...
Dhalsin stage... the versus audio...
A Previlege! Golden ages!
Oh yes a banger from my childhood. When it finally came to console I was all over that. $65 brand new back in 93 I think. So expensive!
As a 9 year old I learned what Las Vegas and the USSR looked like through this game
Everytime i hear or read about the Vladimir Putin or the war between Ukraine and Russia i always hear this wee street fighter Zangief tune in my head. 🤦🏻♂️😣😂
I played this nonstop everyday all day.. what a nostalgic time. I remember Sagat & Vega being so hard to beat it was $71.00 at toys r us gaming section where you had to take a gaming slip to the front counter and they’d have to grab it from the back room for you lol such an amazing time
Vegas wall jump attack was infuritating
@@aliq45 bro he was impossible
The best and bad ass fighting games back in the day, and still is.
'90s video games at its finest
No puedo soportar tanta nostalgia. El estil, las canciones, los sonidos. Todo me recuerda a la época mas feliz de mi vida
I love this videogame, greetings from Guaranda, Ecuador.
😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
I finally play this in 2006, i never played it back then i did played mortal kombat first. This is a classic and love the music in this port.
We use to gamble for money 💵💰 for tournament's we'd throw on our block.. playing this game
Was it just me but M. Bison use to kick my ass with no remorse when I was younger lol
He's a pia. So is Zangief.
For sure and I hate blanka lol
First time I saw this game was at a bowling alley in Queens NY in 91. Heard the elephants and walked up, or tried to. Prob 50 boys all crowded around it. Couldn't believe the graphics.
Yep same here, it was about 1991 and I lived in queens as well, me and my friends would go to the video store next to 711 on queens blvd and play WWF Wrestlefest daily, this day they had added Street fighter 2 right next to it and there was a LINE of kids out the damn door waiting to play, putting quarters up on the arcade screen trying to get next lol AMAZING NOSTALGIA
Yup! A guy was playing as Ken.
Loved playing this game on Capcom's Classics Collection Remixed on the PSP. Its just absolutely fantastic. You can't not love Street Fighter.
Street Fighter II is the best fighter ever
The game that started the summer's battle of fighting my cousins and I went undefeated for 24 rounds with Chun li
Goated game, makes nostalgic…good ol days of playing this on snes as a kid

Bons Tempos
Good times
One best gamer I see in my life rank 1st place in my eyes. I suck at this game. But Nintecomplete is super times 1000000 better.
One of the best games ever❤
I remember seeing SF2 CE for the first time in arcade and it was a hacked version where Hadouken would spread and fill up the screen and Zangief's spinning clothsline move was the people's favourite as he would spin above the screen and when the shadow merged with the opponent then he would do piledriver, also fire used to come out Zangief's leg when doing that move.
I didnt knew it was a hack back then.
And while those hacks were interesting, Capcom hated them since they not only did the hacks cost them money, but the hadouken spamming (especially when you used the Jab speed Hadoukens to create a train of sorts) often destroyed the balance of the game which made it inanely one-sided for some.
In response, not only did Capcom crack down on the bootleggers, but it also inspired the creation of Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting (a.k.a Street Fighter II Turbo) which was created by James Goddard who would later be known for creating Dee Jay.
Hadouken !!!

this bought me childhood memories when I was little my dad gave me lots of quarters to play this while they did grocery shopping and my main was Chun Li I cant wait for street fighter 6 so glad to see familiar faces like Ryu Ken Chun Li and many more
Capcom accidentally created a Masterpiece
"I joined Capcom in May of 1992 and was told about this arcade game that had been chewing quarters at an unprecedented rate, both in Japan and in the US. Capcom was planning to bring a home version of it to a new console which was about to hit the market called the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was my role to develop the packaging, advertising and overall business strategy for getting the game into consumer's hands.
We launched the game in August of '92 and I remember sitting with my boss, Joe Morici, who told me we were going to be ordering 1.2 million units from Nintendo, which at that point was an unprecedented first order for any platform. Then we released Street Fighter II into the marketplace and we completely sold out within 72 hours! Being out of stock for two months while we waited for more cartridges from Nintendo was very hard, but it wasn't all that bad because it helped fuel the frenzy. People were desperate for the game and that just helped drive the demand and desire!"
-- John Gillin, director of marketing (Capcom)
Awesome playthrough of Street fighter 2, Alex!
Congrats on beating it without losing once.
This game was such an EVENT. My Uncle was kind enough to drive me to the local KB Toys early to be there at 'official' launch day morning to grab a copy. A half dozen to a dozen others were waiting in front of the not yet opened KB as well. I must have put hundreds of hours into it - it had tremendous replayability for it's time.
Bro, I used to walk miles just to play this game if I had just 4 or more quarters! Wherever I lived this game would be in a corner market like 7-11. I spent 1/2 my youth in arcades! I loved every senond of it👍😁❤️ I do wish I had my SNES though. Just recently got a NES with advantage controller and multi game cartridge. This game is a classic though I could never play zangief
I was the same. I used to take the bus to get to the arcades downtown to play against people back in the day. There was a by-law in my neighbourhood that made arcades and arcade machines illegal, even in corner stores. SF2, MK2, Killer Instinct and others were massive phenomenons.
@@rjcupid Any bylaw that makes video games illegal is wrong bro. Just wrong. Was it a religous community?
@@vdog4799 It’s a wealthier community that didn’t want any arcades in the neighbourhood. No bars were allowed here either. Have a good one man!
@@rjcupid Thanks you too👍
@@rjcupid Yeah I guess I could see that. They did attract hoodlums. Makes sense. Take care buddy
You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.
Attack me if you dare, I'll crush you!
You mop the floor with these guys😂😂
I remember baxk in the university days, a couple friends and i were taking a break from studying Stats. We set up the old Super NES and N64! GoldenEye, MK and Street Fighter was a few of them!
Man the feeling of playing this on the weekends back in the early 90s.I was so excited when I first got my Super Nintendo I even missed school told my dad I was sick just to play.I miss my childhood so much
Street Fighter II hits differently on SNES. Partly because the cart was over $116 bucks new. Then dropped to like $79. Keep in mind this was 1992 dollars. They were trying to bank on the experience at home. It was like buying an arcade machine. It was amazing.
The Neo Geo experience was more faithful, but WAY more expensive 😁 and back in 1992 there were not so many options. Fatal Fury was out there, but wasn't a real good fighting game. The Big ones, Samurai Shodown and King of Fighters were distant in the horizon. So Street Fighter II for SNES did It good as an arcade experience at home back then.
In this Super NES port of Street Fighter II, you can use the SNES controller, the Super Advantage, the Capcom Fighter Power Stick, the Specialized Control Pad, the Fighter Stick SN, The Pyschopad K.O. and/or several other SNES arcade sticks in this game.
I appreciate the historical significance of this release and the nostalgia for some people. As someone unaffected by it (my first home copy was SF2SCE on the MD), I don't see the point in actually playing this game ever since SF2T was released.
It`s my favourite game ever and the arcade version too!
Back in the day when games were good.
Best game ever use to play this as a kid still play it now at 46 👍
This was my 1st fighting game and I remember beating the game with only one hand.
And two, I'm here for the Sagat theme and Bison theme. Best soundtrack ever.
I remember when i first got this as a kid was tryna play b4 school the next morning ken, ryu guile and chun li my go toos
I got blisters on my thumbs playing this
Arcade machine in the 90s:
- First character pushover
- Second character average
- Third character difficulty cheating master
- Please insert coin
Unless it's an SNK game. Then you start at #3
My childhood what I played it.
I sometimes get the feeling that the poor sound conversions in Capcom's earlier SNES ports were why so many of their mid-90's SNES games used reverb.
Sound in this port is crisp unlike the ear sore on the Genesis
God I remember that DP being so damn hard to pull off as a kid and on a dpad no less. Every input had to be perfect for it to come out.
Best feeling on a friday morning with a new snes and sf2, can’t wait for classes to end, woke up so early for school, only to find out classes have been called off due to the storm. What to do next? Wide awake, still dark, raining, cold bed. Those were the days
My friend actually had the game on the cartridge *I believe he still have it probably* and he would actually put the code in to get the champion edition colors *even though he eventually did get turbo, in which, I do prefer 🙂 but the original game is important, I feel like it's possibly something we take for granted*
Street Fighter 2 on SNES is a GOD TIER OF CONSOLE
The very first home version produced by Capcom was the SNES version of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, released on June 10, 1992 in Japan and in July in North America. This version introduced the 2-Player Versus Mode that allowed players to adjust their handicap and features a cheat code that allows two players to select the same character like in Champion Edition. Capcom released the "Capcom Power Stick Fighter", a joystick controller made specifically for the game that was backward-compatible with the original NES.
How is the quality so good. What are you using. And any links
Back in the early nineties, gamestores in Brazil usually had consoles for anyone to play paying a small fee, time limited. They were everywhere. Younger people have no idea how popular SF2 was. If one those stores had 10 consoles, 7 or 8 would be playing SF all day long. It was that popular.
For a year NIntendo crushed Sega because of this game alone. I bet Sega executives arrived at Capcom not only bringing a truckload of money, but a small army of lawyers to prove to Capcom they could release a SF2 game on the Genesis and get away with it, because Sega would cover any legal fee they would possibly had with Nintendo exclusivity agreements.
I also bet Capcom took Nintendo by the balls because, or they allowed multi-platform releases from then on, or that could affect Capcom's ability to launch future SF titles on Nintendo platforms. And the rest is history.
uuuffff niiice, SFII Turbo the best SF ever
Needed to press Down+R1+Up+L1+Y+B
when the Capcom logo showed up to have the same character fight each other
That was for American version. Super family required 2 more button inputs.
The best stage is Guile, Epic the music ❤
Definitely and the ryu one
The one that started it all.
It can't be overstated how much of a hit this was. This version sold over 6 million copies! That's more than Champion Edition and SSF2 on the Genesis combined.
It sold me the SNES console, I saw it being played on the games master TV show on Thursday evening and when straight out and bought the console & Street Fighter 2 bundle on the Saturday.
@@davidbarlee4722 Its sold me on...buying a PC. Let me explain. SF2 did convince me that I wanted a SNES, but on the way to buying one we passed by a radio shack. In the window I saw a computer running Battle Chess. Suddenly I wanted that instead. Luck would have it that my uncle had a PC he was selling, so for about $350 I ended up with a tricked out, late model Tandy 1000!
Great run! I have more memories with Street Fighter II Turbo, but I always preferred the Street Fighter series as my tournament fighter game choice (with Alpha 3 on PS1 being my favorite).
Thanks! Turbo was a great update. Alpha 3 was pretty sweet. I had it on my Dreamcast. My favorite is Alpha 2 though.
Pre mid 90's days playing this game!!
One of my cousins had this game 30 years ago. I have the Turbo version that I got for Christmas in ‘93.
I'm a 90s boy so I grew up playing this Kool game of Street Fighter they never made Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat they were thinking about it but it never came threw well I'm a Street Fighter fan if they ever make any more Street Fighter 4 life
6:07 The Best Soundtrack
I like how the SNES version had better endings in the World Warrior & how each fighter said two things when the arcade version they said only one after winning
I, my brother and my sister in law was played this game.
When i goof around with my 4 year old, and make her Paw Patrol toys "fight," she always giggles her little butt off every time one loses and i fly it backwards while doing the "Oohh uhh, oohh uhh, oohh uhh."
Last 2 bosses were hard as i remember xD But now it looks easy
HADOUKEN !!!!!!!!!!!!! SHORYUKEN !!!!!!!!!!
Oh boi, a Ken main!
Classic game!!
playing this game in the 90's as a kid exceeds being an astronaut, a pornstar , a billionaire etc.... just look at the graphics on balrogs stage , I pity anyone who never had that experience
I rememeber having sf2 turbo japanese carthridge... You had to modify your USA console to play Japana games lol.. I got turbo months before it was released in the USA
Car shoryuken perfect Ken and Eliza wedding
My childhood :D
Good memories
1992 im 7 years,, now im 38 years old. This game so legendary..
I used to go through this same way, undefeated and hitless too. Here is a challenge for you: Play through without losing a round while also scoring at least a million points.
⭐Orange sky at Ryu's Stage hits hard, the clouds not moving makes it better though, wouldn't mind if they moved way slower.
If they make another variation of this game, it should offer color swaps for stages in classic edition and new, and for enhanced version of this game, animated sky to night and day transition should be a treat to add. Cammy stage would have aurora lights gone during day, or maybe not. Daytime Balrog Stage would feel like a hangover at 12pm. IDK
6:07 Guile vomits from the first punch 😂
Ojalá que a los nuevos street figther vuelvan esos sonidos que eran brutales , sonidos rompehuesos.
This Super Nintendo port of the arcade game sequel, Street Fighter II, is in the Action Series.
I remember playing all of the street fighter games on the super Nintendo this was the first game
Fun fact: If you try to play one of the Shadaloo bosses with a cheat modul (e.g. Action Replay), you get a black screen when the fight starts.
Fighting games are amazing, but it's all thanks to this multi-cultural phenomenon. Something about the sound of the little fighter announcement screen I always thought was just magical.
My cousin's favorite game.
Esse jogo me fez chorar de raiva!
Nice🖤
Awesome!
Damn that intro 🤯
Leggenda!!!!!
Why did Capcom, think it was a good idea, to change the color of Honda’s Stage? I love the original color!
