    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!!!!

    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!!

    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.

      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.

Plus kids were breaking their wrists on them back in the day and they never held up as well. Either way great job.

    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.

    • @KIDDVIDD
      @KIDDVIDD 4 місяці тому +2

      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.

    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 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). 😄
