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
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?
Makes more sense for the Spanish to be called Vega since Vega is a Spanish last name.
Max is truely best fit for this DYKG
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 is that it? psshh please i beat more martial arts masters than that before breakfast...
mind you, this on playstation soooo...
I could be wrong, but I though he died 3 different 100 man kumites, 3 days in a row
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.
Breloom nice no see someone acknowledges JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Chazbo JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE JOE
Guile was added to the cast... For America!
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.
Guile is a normal average set character put in for "Americans" Mother fucker was the strongest in sf2
He wasnt put in for americans to use...he was put in there to send people home to be a family man
How could you leave out Zubaz, Max?
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.
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 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
+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
Vega's initial Templar design at 6:10 if really freaking cool. I would love to see an alternate costume of that one day.
Knew you guys would eventually find Max!
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.
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.
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
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"
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...
Did You Know Gaming: The King Of Fighters, anyone?
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.
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...
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.
Couldn't though of someone better then Max for this episode!
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 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.
Patch
T. Hawk and Caesar share the same headband, The pillar man reference is a bit of a stretch.
Street Fighter? Max? Perfect video already
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.
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.
Part 2!!
I love Street Fighter! *So cool to learn more about the series*
That advice was supposed to be given by a mysterious old man?
Holy shit, that man is CLEARLY Sheng Long!
Once again, great job! I hope to see a follow up video to this one.
LMAO! "Zangief's original name was Vodka Garbalksi"
MAX!!?!?!?
How did he get here?
...wow, this is surprisingly awesome.
Surprising... But awesome.
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.
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
You forgot about my boy Zubaz.
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.
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.
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). 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.
GUILE IS AMERICA
There needs to be a Half Life video of "Did You Know Gaming?" narrated by Ross Scott.
Beastman is also a Pilot from F-Zero.
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).
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 mention of zubaz. !!!?
*****
I'm pretty sure woolie doesnt actually even exist. It's actually Billy in a Woolie costume.
5:39 "Ugandan Mystic" The Kunckles meme has tainted me.
awesome, love this video, learned so much about one of my favorite franchises
It's only appropriate that The dood would do this franchise on DYKG.
It's so weird having Max on DYKGaming, I've been following him from back when he wasn't that big on UA-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
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.
It's funny this video goes up because the other day I was thinking to myself "Hmm, Did you know Gaming hasn't done a Street Fighter episode yet, that's surprising".
Glad to see it's now the case.
I'm so happy Max is getting out there more. Been around his channel for so long that its just hard to believe.
Hell yes, been waiting for a Street Fighter DYK for a while. Dreams DO come true!
I remember seeing the Vega/Claw knights templar look from an old Nintendo power or strategy guide. Great info!
guiles theme really does go with everythinh
Really a lot of fun seeing max on here. Good information as well.
here i am with about a bunch of videos with max after i watch this video, i love you max, never change
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.
No mention on Zubaz?
What the heck! A storm is coming, CAN YOU FEEL IT!
Man I’m late to this channel. subscribed!
Haha, I can see why they changed Blanka. He's a slave in that picture.
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
very good video. informative and well narrated. keep up the good work
I have been waiting for this video guys thank you
Part 2: Zubaz?
Guile is put in for "american use". Well maybe his song but i don't know about the character :D
you deserved my subscription with this video!
"Did you know, the fifth character for Street Fighter Four Ultra was a massive fucking disappointment?"
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)
You guys need to do a DYK on King of Fighters.
This channel deserves 20,000,000 subscribers!
Wooa maximilian dood here? Why I miss this awsome video for sooo long? Hype
The only trivia I know is that Akumas design is based off of the character Nosferatu Zodd from the anime Berserk.
this channel is amazing C:
This needs a Part 2!
This was so good! awesome job!
Can we get a Did you know about Streets of Rage =)
DID YOU KNOW...that Streets of Rage is a horrible rip off of Final Fight? end of the "did you know gaming" episode.
GatsuRage
Ripoff, yes...horrible...no...Final fight was a very unpolished game in comparison to Streets of rage, particularly when compared to streets of rage 2
HyrdaRancher Yeah I shouldnt say "horrible" don't know why i'm so stupid sometimes... I also played street of rage when I was around 11 I think and enjoyed it (still preffer final fight tho)
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.
Hey, I've been wanting a Street Fighter DKY for quite a while! Glad we finally get it ;).
I got really exited at the thought of seeing zubaz here. No storm today. :(
another street fighter one. I have been waiting for a street fighter DYKG and the gamelust is upon me. I am a Street Fighter Vampire
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.
We can still go deeper in the mysteries of Street Fighter.
Do a part 2.
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...
I love hearing Max's voice on a DYK Gaming video. Hopefully he'll cover more fighting games for you guys, because that would be incredible!
Their should be a Templar skin for Vega
The character of Ken was actually based on Char Aznable from the gundam anime series, the same one used as base for both Protoman(the sun glasses being a reference for char alter ego Quatro bageena, and the shield being a copy of the one used in the gelgoog, one of chars mobile suits), and zero,
seeing some actual references for these facts would be awesome. or maybe even just have a credit list at the end of the video.
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. 😄
