It'd be funny if there was a move Honda can do that immediately extend his hurtbox forward in a way that lets the SPD reach him and whoever first saw this was just a masher lmao
Longshot and I'm sure you already tried this...but is it possible for Gief to walk forward slightly and then SPD at a position and timing such that Honda can't jump out? I know SPD has instant startup and jump preframes can be thrown in SF2...so maybe? Probably not, though...
Unfortunately not, honda can jump or HHS (as SPD doesn't reach). The closest we got was using the proximity guard on f.MK to trap him in place but that still has counters.
Wasn't there a version of Champion Edition where Zangief couldn't duck under Sagat's high tiger shot, and he couldn't jump over it? That's a 10-0 if so.
From what I understand, when SF2 was in beta (location) testing they had found that Zangief was winning absurd amounts of games time after time. It’s possible that it, as you said, was in the beta that has not been publically released.
The SF2 devs have said in interviews a few times that one of the biggest changes they made after the first location test was a major Zangief nerf because somebody just bodied everybody who challenged him with Zangief. They overnerfed him which is why Zangief's hitboxes in WW are pretty bad. I find it hard to believe that this was the source of the rumor though - SPD is a really rough move to execute for a new player, would the first guy to ever play as Zangief, before anyone on the planet was "good" at fighting games, really have figured out such a memorable exploit with it, and then talked about it enough for people to remember? I don't think we'll be seeing this board dumped any time soon though - I very much doubt that it still exists.
Yoshiki Okamoto said there was a japanese location test player racking up a 60+ winning streak with Zangief in the beta of WW. He did not go into detail, but its on his youtube channel. I always thought the same. Like how can somebody be this dominant in a game that hasn't even come out yet.
@@gizaha Just ask them for the version and let a TAS'er verify it or let a bunch of other people try to replicate it on that version. If only that one person can do that on that version, that is reason to doubt it's legitimacy. If they really want to prove it they can give additional proof
@@gizaha It's called reacting to someone, you said it could be cheated so I reacted to that with solutions. When you make statements you will find that this happens more often than you'd think
@@Bladieblah Read again what you said in the first comment. I said that someone would patch the rom with fake date in order to claim that this is a beta rom that only he has. Thus your second comment is not valid.
There's a lot of hidden history there. With Tekken 2, for example, the first version had a very doable infinite for Bruce (any launch into looping b+4,3 over and over); one of the original top Tekken players in the US (tomhilfiger) talked about Bruce being banned in Korean arcades during this time! This was removed in their next revision, so it's not widely known anymore.
The most likely possibility, in my view, would be that someone just did not have the presence of mind to do something other than walk forward as E. Honda. It was most likely someone Young, as well as someone who had Honda as their favorite character and would walk forward against all the other enemies while almost never going up against zangief.
Yeah, it always sounded like a myth to me. The distance is just too great, either the fighters would have to be closer together (which I haven't seen) or Zangeifs hit box would have to be TRULY monstrous (and that would be more memorable than the 10-0). That leaves glitches which is possible but seems odd. I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible but my gut has always steered me towards it being false.
@@charleswebb1674 Yep, although to be fair I was basing my judgement off it being a version of an arcade machine since those are actually played by the public. With it being a SNES beta my only guess is that the rumor started in the early days of emulation.
I just saw this video today - and YES! YES it was real!! We used to witness it in the arcade all the time - The thing is .... it was 'nearly' always on an arcade box that had some sort of action replay device! You know, you could do fireballs in the air, no cooldown for sonic booms that sort of thing. So, I'm guessing that people are remembering matchups on those machines, where Zaingef really could just grab you right at the beginning, and there was nothing you could do about it!
I remember one of the arcade boxes had a glitch that would allow you as Ryu (probably Ken, too) that once you took away more of the enemy's life than yours, you can jump, do a helicopter kick, keep mashing the button, and you would float to the top of the screen and pop up near the bottom and you could keep going up. However, once you were up even just one screen, it was like you were completely off, as the enemy could not attack you at all. When time ran out, you won by default, and you would fall rapidly through all the screens you went up.
I severely doubt it. Even in the messy dev cycles of the 90s I really don't think that anyone on staff would look at the hitbox of SPD and allow it to reach anyone at the start of the round. Glitches can exist but they tend to be based on doing weird stuff that that confuses the game and in SF2 they seem to mostly involve hit boxes disappearing when they have boxes getting involved and not moving. The only glitch I could see working for is if there was some glitch that caused the starting position to be a little closer between characters.
@@CB66941 you can block projectiles @ full screen & spd counter anybody @@CB66941 ua-cam.com/video/pjH2X7gJMik/v-deo.html I stand corrected: you CAN do it in super turbo with O. Zangief
I'm pretty sure the myth has it's origins in "casual" play. A lot of young/casual players were aggressive and had a tendency to move forward as soon as they had control. If both did so on the first few frames in a Hondo/Zangeif matchup, the range would be right to start the combo. Over time, people remembered it as a completely lopsided match up to be avoided but forgot that forward movement was needed from both players for it to lead to the lock.
So if you do a SPD with Fierce on both sticks at the same time during the 1st round start, Gief will then transform into Hagger from Final Fight. But first you must defeat Sheng Long.
Shit bro that's cool but it ain't got shit on what dudes uncle at Nintendo told me?...he said after you beat S.L?....if you play mortal Kombat and make it to Shang TSUNG?...terry bogard be ones playable on both games
YES! I"VE BEEN TESTING EVERY WW I"VE COME ACROSS FOR YEARS SINCE I FIRST HEARD OF THIS ABOUT 6 OR 7 YEARS AGO AND NEVER CAME ACROSS IT! I WILL ADD $100 CAD IF SOMEONE CAN GET VIDEO FOOTAGE FOR THIS
@@Rayuzx Yeah I was notified on twitter within minutes of her posting that. I've already been in contact with her. Paypal didn't want to convert to BRL so I was checking whether she wanted USD, or something else.
That's weird because I remember playing Turbo and Honda could basically walk around using hundred hand slap and make it so you as Zangief could never be in a position to hit him out of it.
Remember when SF2 first came to the SNES , people were always refering to Zangrief, because he was such a tough character to master. Clearly over the decades, that changed
I remember in about 1994, I was at an arcade, an older kid challenged me as I was playing the computer. He said choose which character he was. I smugly said zagnief. Well my chung li got her ass handed to her. Never saw someone use zagnief like that till then.
SvC isn't underrated at all. Latinamerica, China and Mid west play it like hell. It's a broken unpolished mess though. It needed more development time.
As a kid growing up in Brooklyn that I was straight up punching with Chun Li and no one could beat me. It was the light jab and she would punch punch and throw you down. . Those were my sf2 glory days
I liked the spirit for chasing a myth. I recall that I could manage KO Sagat with only 2 LP DPs with perfect timing by whiff punishing his tiger uppercut in SF2 World Warrior. I searched it but there is no footage of that. It may be a good challenge to record that one.
@@TheSpectre2300 Fair enough, I know it is not a rumor but my point is I am not a good player and could not do it again and also couldn't find any footage of it with perfect KO.
On the SNES.. Honda always wins against Zangief. Because Zangief can't jump high enough to get over the 1000 hands attack. You might get lucky from time to time to get a sweep in. But if the Honda player mashes high and fierce, its basically impossible. The only saving grace in sf2 on the snes is, that honda can't move forward like in turbo with that move.
I know the comments mentioned it already but perhaps this came from one of the console ports. Granted World Warrior was only on SNES (not counting the obviously drastically different 8bit and computer ports) but I guess it wouldnt hurt to check the Genesis version of Turbo. Perhaps someone misremembered "Special Champion Edition" (which despite the name was basically just the genesis version of Hyper Fighting) as being one of the early editions
Man the Genesis port/s were such garbage. I remember years ago I had to explain to my cousin who was ten years younger than me about how the Genesis controller didn't have enough buttons for a six button like SF but still had it anyway. He didn't believe me until I showed him a picture of the controller and booted up a ROM.
It's amazing how certain myths about video games spread and everyone accepts them as facts, until someone asks "but where's the proof"? Another one that I was convinced was true was the aggression level overflow bug of Ghandi in Civilization. There's a whole article about that on Wikipedia.
The version DOES EXISTS. There was a challenge with money as a reward to anyone who provided proof the version existed. It did got responded with a snes rom version and won the challenge. I find it odd that uploader didnt already found this information...
Zangief can't do this combo (jump-knee, crouch-jab, SPD) against Ryu or Ken, right? Because they can just Shoryuken, which is invincible and hits anyone out of any move unless he's blocking. Does that jump-knee hit before the Shoryuken can be started by a rising Ryu or Ken?
Very interesting. I really like the scientific approach and testing of every version you could find. My personal theory (not proven) - when playing the game as a kid you wanted to win as quickly as possible and start as quickly as possible which usually meant heading in the direction of your opponent, not opposite. Like you said - if Honda moves forward at the start - the SPD chain can start. And afterwards it has just been passed from generation to generation :)
That might get the round-start SPD, but not in a way that would create the legendary 10-0 matchup, as all Honda players would have to do to avoid it would be t o not crouch-block to start.
I enjoy your process of ensuring credibility by refusing to dismiss the possibility that it exists. You work though all known vectors, expand your search, and continue. That's a very professional way to do it!
Even with a game this old and effectively obsolete, I would have to imagine at least one person would make a video if it were indeed possible. I suspect this is one of those gaming urban legends that just took on a life of its own.
@@mydemon Yes, but it was in the beta, so it's an arguable point how much it counts. I've yet to see evidence it can be done in any version of the game that actually saw release.
There was another one which I only saw once in the arcade many years ago (I was the one that actually did it) - short uppercut with Ryu taking over 3/4 health energy from Blanka when he was using the spinning roll attack. Almost 1 move kill!!
Early versions had character take critical damage If their special attacks got hit or countered. I remember taking nearly half of Bison's health when he psycho crushered into my electricity as Blanka. The charge back moves seem to be the ones that all suffered from this weakness.
Isn't it referenced at www.eventhubs.com/news/2020/jul/22/one-unbeatable-street-fighter-2-zangief-expert-was-reason-character-was-weak-so-long/ **"Regardless of how much we balanced Zangief in-house, this one Zangief expert would win all the time," Okamoto said. Capcom would send employees out to these location tests to take notes on how characters were faring against one another. The calls back to HQ reported that Zangief was strong, explaining that one Zangief player had won 85 times in a row at one point."** So an early version of the game eventually got nerfed
I did that all the time with Zangief when I was a kid in arcade centers. It has a requirement, your opponent has to do something to expand his hitbox. Ryu always starts with a Hadoken, grab. On high difficulty Honda will use Hand Slap as first move, grab. If any of these didn't happen. You won't get it. Back in the days arcade centers loved to wind up the difficulty which it always have some moves at the start. If it's not a jump or moving back, you can pull this trick.
1- someone already won (it was some snes version) 2- theres no such thing as a "10-0", thats just bullshit and refered to ONLY this lost-in-fg-history case 3- If Gief can command grab Honda from start its not 10-0, its infinite-0 4- Why Honda? if its Gief´s reach thats crazy it should work on any char, I never heard Honda having frames more forward that the rest???

So, 6 months later, has anyone been able to find this? I'm really curious. I occasionally rewatch this video, not just because it's interesting on its own, but to look at the comments to see if something was finally found on it.
What about Rainbow Edition, Turbo and the other games of the series? Back in the day pretty much everybody was a noob, therefore bound to confuse very similar games with each other.
Wasn't a "Zangief main" but I did notice the "extra range" on the USA and EU releases on the SNES. I know you're referring to the arcade version here. Just happy to see that there was an explanation for this :D.
In Dissidia 012 for the PSP, Jecht vs Emperor is 0-10 in Emperor's favor on most tier lists. Granted that game never really had much of a competitive scene for a variety of reasons, but it's the only time I've ever seen a 0-10 matchup that didn't involve a banned character.
I sort of found myself in this part of UA-cam. I'm amazed at the level of interest Street Fighter still draws. I used to play the original SNES version back in the day 30 years ago. Man that makes me start to feel old 😂

Real Science is testing things that have already been deemed proven, to see if they still hold up. you are a true FGC scientist, not just a videocreator
Some moves increase hitbox. So on round start, if Honda did a move that increased his hitbox while Gief simultaneously did an SPD, theoretically it could connect.
played on 1 of the first version in London goodge st where a capcom staff was present and also the first SF 2 tournament in London & never seen zangief spinning piledriver at the start... I call it highly unlikely considering at the beginning hardly anyone pick zangief also doing 2 hit combo + spinning piledriver that came later on.
The CPU must do it. It's godly with Zangief. He would bolt forward using the facing direction as start and end the SPD command. The slower circle allows zangief to step forward for half of the command.
Considering the setup of the move forward, that actually seems like there might be another explanation that would also cover why the roms aren't working for it. It might have been a hardware bug that was rather minute but uncaught and thought a part of the game, something that has popped up in even modern consoles. Drift...the same things that the Nintendo Switch joy-cons have had since that came out and has been a relatively common mess with just about every joystick to some level over time. Basically, having something going wrong with the stick that it might register movement and start it just enough that it dumps him into range for it with hardware having the issue.
How is Zangief doing the SPDs without jumping? I thought SNES Zangief not leaving the ground to SPD was something only the computer could do. I always had to jump and while in the air start the 360 motion on the d-pad, or start it while getting up from a knockdown, or something.
As someone who used to SPD ryu’s guile, anyone with a fireball - if your opponent’s shadow comes into range with Zangief’s Throw range, you could SPD. If you block the right frame of a move, like Ehonda’s Hard punch / sweep, you can input SPD and before Honda’s done - caught. You also could use the spd as a landing capture, so if you can range yourself out of the jump, direction did not matter, input the SPD and the second the opponent lands, captured. This dominance is why Zangief started getting grab animations and capcom toyed with his technical aspects. If you could not bait zangief players, you lost
One thing about the Zangief follow-up setup that I don't understand: say you're hit by the SPD, and Gief gets the safe jump on you, which you block. If you get hit by the crouching jab, do you still get hit by the SPD? Isn't there enough gap in the string to, say, jump out?
Good content! Something unique and new'ish ... its appreciated. I was subbed already but i never saw yiur vids on my feed ? But i will have you on my radar from now on.
When I played sf2 on the SNES with my friends (way back in the day) I have walked into spd as the round started a few times, and I was Honda on an at least one such occasion. Landing spd was mark of skill at the time so we’d spam 360 motion to land it. On that version it kinda did look like I got sucked in as soon as the round started. I think it could be a freak occurrence. One of my college suite mates swears that his brother threw him out of raging demon from full screen on alpha 2. They were never able to recreate that.

Longshot and I'm sure you already tried this...but is it possible for Gief to walk forward slightly and then SPD at a position and timing such that Honda can't jump out? I know SPD has instant startup and jump preframes can be thrown in SF2...so maybe? Probably not, though...
Unfortunately not, honda can jump or HHS (as SPD doesn't reach). The closest we got was using the proximity guard on f.MK to trap him in place but that still has counters.

Wasn't there a version of Champion Edition where Zangief couldn't duck under Sagat's high tiger shot, and he couldn't jump over it? That's a 10-0 if so.
What about Lariat
@@LucasHpm believe it only had midsection invulnerability.
@@Hotobu you are right lairat had only midsection invisibility, Sagats high tiger would hit gif on his head.
It's was generally impossible for Zangief to get past tiger shot spam
It was his World Warrior version. Against Sagat, you would have to jump at him as soon as the round starts.
From what I understand, when SF2 was in beta (location) testing they had found that Zangief was winning absurd amounts of games time after time. It’s possible that it, as you said, was in the beta that has not been publically released.
The SF2 devs have said in interviews a few times that one of the biggest changes they made after the first location test was a major Zangief nerf because somebody just bodied everybody who challenged him with Zangief. They overnerfed him which is why Zangief's hitboxes in WW are pretty bad. I find it hard to believe that this was the source of the rumor though - SPD is a really rough move to execute for a new player, would the first guy to ever play as Zangief, before anyone on the planet was "good" at fighting games, really have figured out such a memorable exploit with it, and then talked about it enough for people to remember?
I don't think we'll be seeing this board dumped any time soon though - I very much doubt that it still exists.
Its been proven to work on the SNES beta version:

Yoshiki Okamoto said there was a japanese location test player racking up a 60+ winning streak with Zangief in the beta of WW. He did not go into detail, but its on his youtube channel. I always thought the same. Like how can somebody be this dominant in a game that hasn't even come out yet.
This yt channel is rapidly becoming one of the most interesting i'm subbed to. Auto watch tier.
World Warrior was some crazy, wonky stuff. The legendary "handcuffs" are a perfect example.
I hope someone comes for that £100. This is pretty interesting. Great work so far trying to track it down.
Most likely someone will patch the rom with fake date and hack the honda hurtbox in order to work. That's what happens when you pay.
@@gizaha Just ask them for the version and let a TAS'er verify it or let a bunch of other people try to replicate it on that version. If only that one person can do that on that version, that is reason to doubt it's legitimacy. If they really want to prove it they can give additional proof

@@Bladieblah Read again what you said in the first comment. I said that someone would patch the rom with fake date in order to claim that this is a beta rom that only he has. Thus your second comment is not valid.
I never knew arcade machines had balancing patch chips... This changed my perspective on a few things.
There's a lot of hidden history there. With Tekken 2, for example, the first version had a very doable infinite for Bruce (any launch into looping b+4,3 over and over); one of the original top Tekken players in the US (tomhilfiger) talked about Bruce being banned in Korean arcades during this time! This was removed in their next revision, so it's not widely known anymore.
The most likely possibility, in my view, would be that someone just did not have the presence of mind to do something other than walk forward as E. Honda.
It was most likely someone Young, as well as someone who had Honda as their favorite character and would walk forward against all the other enemies while almost never going up against zangief.
Yeah, it always sounded like a myth to me. The distance is just too great, either the fighters would have to be closer together (which I haven't seen) or Zangeifs hit box would have to be TRULY monstrous (and that would be more memorable than the 10-0). That leaves glitches which is possible but seems odd. I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible but my gut has always steered me towards it being false.

@@charleswebb1674 Yep, although to be fair I was basing my judgement off it being a version of an arcade machine since those are actually played by the public. With it being a SNES beta my only guess is that the rumor started in the early days of emulation.
@@charleswebb1674 Oh wow!
I just saw this video today - and YES! YES it was real!! We used to witness it in the arcade all the time - The thing is .... it was 'nearly' always on an arcade box that had some sort of action replay device! You know, you could do fireballs in the air, no cooldown for sonic booms that sort of thing. So, I'm guessing that people are remembering matchups on those machines, where Zaingef really could just grab you right at the beginning, and there was nothing you could do about it!
Ah, Rainbow Street Fighter
Is this the answer? @theoryfighter
This is what I thought as well. Street Fighter de Rodoviária.
i remember those in the arcades, those versions will definitely be omitted in the match-up bracket data for sure
I remember one of the arcade boxes had a glitch that would allow you as Ryu (probably Ken, too) that once you took away more of the enemy's life than yours, you can jump, do a helicopter kick, keep mashing the button, and you would float to the top of the screen and pop up near the bottom and you could keep going up. However, once you were up even just one screen, it was like you were completely off, as the enemy could not attack you at all. When time ran out, you won by default, and you would fall rapidly through all the screens you went up.
I severely doubt it. Even in the messy dev cycles of the 90s I really don't think that anyone on staff would look at the hitbox of SPD and allow it to reach anyone at the start of the round. Glitches can exist but they tend to be based on doing weird stuff that that confuses the game and in SF2 they seem to mostly involve hit boxes disappearing when they have boxes getting involved and not moving. The only glitch I could see working for is if there was some glitch that caused the starting position to be a little closer between characters.

I'm pretty sure the myth has it's origins in "casual" play. A lot of young/casual players were aggressive and had a tendency to move forward as soon as they had control. If both did so on the first few frames in a Hondo/Zangeif matchup, the range would be right to start the combo. Over time, people remembered it as a completely lopsided match up to be avoided but forgot that forward movement was needed from both players for it to lead to the lock.
Also, Honda is a CHARGE character, he has to move backwards.
4:06 Respect the commitment brotha. It's the kind of thing a help would be the best tho, what could take days might be done in 1 or 2h.
Could such a glaring oversight slip through Capcom's testing process?
Thank you, I'll be here all night.
So if you do a SPD with Fierce on both sticks at the same time during the 1st round start, Gief will then transform into Hagger from Final Fight. But first you must defeat Sheng Long.

My guess is Honda walked into it and people remember it as round start
It is a ridiculously distant grab after all
That's weird because I remember playing Turbo and Honda could basically walk around using hundred hand slap and make it so you as Zangief could never be in a position to hit him out of it.
So cool of you to put up a bounty and such an interesting story. I’ll fire up the roms that I have just to check. Sending Good Vibes
Remember when SF2 first came to the SNES , people were always refering to Zangrief, because he was such a tough character to master. Clearly over the decades, that changed
I remember in about 1994, I was at an arcade, an older kid challenged me as I was playing the computer. He said choose which character he was. I smugly said zagnief. Well my chung li got her ass handed to her. Never saw someone use zagnief like that till then.
That piledriver range is wild.

On the SNES.. Honda always wins against Zangief. Because Zangief can't jump high enough to get over the 1000 hands attack.
You might get lucky from time to time to get a sweep in. But if the Honda player mashes high and fierce, its basically impossible. The only saving grace in sf2 on the snes is, that honda can't move forward like in turbo with that move.
I know the comments mentioned it already but perhaps this came from one of the console ports. Granted World Warrior was only on SNES (not counting the obviously drastically different 8bit and computer ports) but I guess it wouldnt hurt to check the Genesis version of Turbo. Perhaps someone misremembered "Special Champion Edition" (which despite the name was basically just the genesis version of Hyper Fighting) as being one of the early editions
Someone seems to have done it on the SNES beta version
twitter.com/ElenoreHU3BR/status/1392631406124224512
Man the Genesis port/s were such garbage. I remember years ago I had to explain to my cousin who was ten years younger than me about how the Genesis controller didn't have enough buttons for a six button like SF but still had it anyway. He didn't believe me until I showed him a picture of the controller and booted up a ROM.
It's amazing how certain myths about video games spread and everyone accepts them as facts, until someone asks "but where's the proof"?
Another one that I was convinced was true was the aggression level overflow bug of Ghandi in Civilization. There's a whole article about that on Wikipedia.
I was expecting the 10-0 matchup to be in Honda’s favor. In SFII, he can’t jump over Honda’s Hundred-Hand Slap.
The version DOES EXISTS.
There was a challenge with money as a reward to anyone who provided proof the version existed.
It did got responded with a snes rom version and won the challenge.
I find it odd that uploader didnt already found this information...
This video is years old and the guy making it put up money. The even says it at the end off the video lmao
Your content consistently gets better all the time. Great stuff
Zangief can't do this combo (jump-knee, crouch-jab, SPD) against Ryu or Ken, right? Because they can just Shoryuken, which is invincible and hits anyone out of any move unless he's blocking. Does that jump-knee hit before the Shoryuken can be started by a rising Ryu or Ken?
The real SPD was the friends we made along the way.
Very interesting. I really like the scientific approach and testing of every version you could find.
My personal theory (not proven) - when playing the game as a kid you wanted to win as quickly as possible and start as quickly as possible which usually meant heading in the direction of your opponent, not opposite. Like you said - if Honda moves forward at the start - the SPD chain can start. And afterwards it has just been passed from generation to generation :)
Did you try it with Honda crouch blocking? It may make his hurt box thicker.
That might get the round-start SPD, but not in a way that would create the legendary 10-0 matchup, as all Honda players would have to do to avoid it would be t o not crouch-block to start.
It would explain the mistaken memory though.
I enjoy your process of ensuring credibility by refusing to dismiss the possibility that it exists. You work though all known vectors, expand your search, and continue. That's a very professional way to do it!
Even with a game this old and effectively obsolete, I would have to imagine at least one person would make a video if it were indeed possible. I suspect this is one of those gaming urban legends that just took on a life of its own.

@@mydemon Yes, but it was in the beta, so it's an arguable point how much it counts. I've yet to see evidence it can be done in any version of the game that actually saw release.
Love the og sf2. I remember my brother and I playing and he air threw my ryu with his chun li while I was doing hurricane kick😮 by accident
There was another one which I only saw once in the arcade many years ago (I was the one that actually did it) - short uppercut with Ryu taking over 3/4 health energy from Blanka when he was using the spinning roll attack. Almost 1 move kill!!
Early versions had character take critical damage If their special attacks got hit or countered. I remember taking nearly half of Bison's health when he psycho crushered into my electricity as Blanka. The charge back moves seem to be the ones that all suffered from this weakness.
Isn't it referenced at www.eventhubs.com/news/2020/jul/22/one-unbeatable-street-fighter-2-zangief-expert-was-reason-character-was-weak-so-long/
**"Regardless of how much we balanced Zangief in-house, this one Zangief expert would win all the time," Okamoto said.
Capcom would send employees out to these location tests to take notes on how characters were faring against one another. The calls back to HQ reported that Zangief was strong, explaining that one Zangief player had won 85 times in a row at one point."**
So an early version of the game eventually got nerfed

I did that all the time with Zangief when I was a kid in arcade centers. It has a requirement, your opponent has to do something to expand his hitbox. Ryu always starts with a Hadoken, grab. On high difficulty Honda will use Hand Slap as first move, grab. If any of these didn't happen. You won't get it. Back in the days arcade centers loved to wind up the difficulty which it always have some moves at the start. If it's not a jump or moving back, you can pull this trick.
It is possible on SNES version
1- someone already won (it was some snes version)
2- theres no such thing as a "10-0", thats just bullshit and refered to ONLY this lost-in-fg-history case
3- If Gief can command grab Honda from start its not 10-0, its infinite-0
4- Why Honda? if its Gief´s reach thats crazy it should work on any char, I never heard Honda having frames more forward that the rest???
Could this be possible in the SNES port? Maybe since it's been a long time the games got confused but idk

Some moves increase hitbox. So on round start, if Honda did a move that increased his hitbox while Gief simultaneously did an SPD, theoretically it could connect.

You also could use the spd as a landing capture, so if you can range yourself out of the jump, direction did not matter, input the SPD and the second the opponent lands, captured.

When I played sf2 on the SNES with my friends (way back in the day) I have walked into spd as the round started a few times, and I was Honda on an at least one such occasion. Landing spd was mark of skill at the time so we’d spam 360 motion to land it.
