This is not the Japanese version In the Japanese version you can Start off with China or England which also means vs mode has 2 extra stages in the Japanese version
@@mr_swordkilla24 it is, cause in the Japanese, Ryu says Hadoken, shoryuken, and tatsumaki senpukyakuu, that's how I know it's the Japanese version, the American version Ryu says Fireball, Dragon punch, and hurricane kick, you don't know what you're talking about, do you?
Fun Fact: My name during development was originally written to be *YU* (Japanese: "Abundant", "rich", or "plentiful"), in which I was named after the game's planner Hiroshi/Yūji Matsumoto. Hiroshi later rewrote my name to *KEN* to mean "Fist" to fit alongside Ryu's name, as well as a it being a Japanese/English pun that is short for the US/UK masculine name *Kenneth.* In addition to the creation, Hiroshi also grew my blonde hair from jaw-legnth to neck-length after my beta appearance of Street Fighter I's prototype.
I really really enjoyed this game when it came in 1987. It was too hard for me then, i was a 10 years old child. But despite the difficult, i used to spent many quarters trying to beat the game. Of course i never could do that. Good and sweet memories from the best decade; The 80's.
I remember playing this when I was 12 in the arcades. Learning the special moves without internet was the best. This definitely low level difficulty. I remember Mike would slay you quick if you didn’t know how to throw fireballs. Retsu always was trash no matter what lol. Adon was harder to figure out to beat that Sagat. You definitely needed the dragon punch. Birdie was weakness was the hurricane kick. Eagle was hard sometimes. Lee easy, could jab him to death. Gen would connect multiple hits so you had to be careful with him. I loved this game back in 88
Ha .. I wouldn't agree low difficulty. It was the first time a combination of joystick movement and button pressing created a move. That was revolutionary. Dragon the whole way . Saget would counter dragon though.
Why? The first Street Fighter was diabolical, doesn't hold up well by today's standards at all, at least Street Fighter 2 is still playable. They literally all say the same quote when they're defeated in this one: - "What strength!! But don't forget there are many guys like you all over the world". Listen to how they say it as well, not even attempting to act the line out, the guy sounds like he can't even read off the dummy card 😆
@@Longlostpuss You had to be there in 1987-1989, there was nothing like this game, it was the first of it's kind, 1 on 1 fighters, special moves. It still has a mystique in the Arcades. I prefer this to SF2, no comparison as as it's a completely different game. Sf2 is too easy.
@@Lvlaukwitz I was definitely around in 1987, but at the time I couldn't see this game in arcades anywhere, don't think there was a huge demand for it. At the time I was playing things like OutRun and Space Harrier, then later came Altered Beast and Golden Axe. Can't say I felt like I missed out or anything. A bit disingenuous to suggest OF Street Fighter is better than Street Fighter 2, come on now???? SF2 was superior in virtually any department you can think of and defined what a sequel should look like. You've got to be on your own with that one.
in the 90's I played this a lot because the arcade street fighter 2 wass full of people and i don't wanna loose a coin in 2 rounds, this game was complete alone....
@@toddpatterson5445 My bf is your age. I’m going on 43. Anyway, the Turbo Grafx CD had a good port of this, imo, especially audio wise.

Probably some more but these are the only ones coming to mind.

When performing moves in Street Fighter, the current lever position won't allow you to perform Hadokens or similar moves. If you're doing it correctly, press it down. If you don't do it, you won't be able to perform Hadokens, Shoryukens, or Tatsumaki Senpukyakus.
este juego cuando salio capto la atencion de todo el planeta. fue innovador en todo sentido, mas aun cuando en japon tenia solo 2 botones de goma gigantes y depende como lo golpearas salia golpe debil medio o fuerte. luego la implementacion de los 6 botones fue algo epico. siempre para mi sera el mejor street fighter, el padre de los juegos 1 a 1. con el debido respeto a karate champ y yie air kung fu
Maybe, almost noone noticed that at 2:51 you get to fight against Mike. He is none other than BALROG (in USA/EUROPEAN Street fighter 2 and so on), but his original (Japanese game) name is M. Bison (Mike Bison, because he is a boxer, dark-skinned and resembles Mike Tyson, in honor to him). In Usa and Europe, we all know that Balrog is the Boxer, Vega is the spanish cage-fighter with claws and M.Bison is "Mister Bison", the psico-powered Shadaloo Boss. But, in the original (Japanese) game, the boxer is M. Bison (Mike Bison), the spanis cage-fighter is Balrog and the boss of Shadaloo is Vega! But, since Capcom feared lawsuits from Mike Tyson (who gave no rights to use his name and/or his appearance), they switched the names.
General M. Bison because he is the commanding general of that island and no that was not just for the movie, that was his original story. And that’s part of the connection because Balrog is the name of the battleship in Strider.
Mike Byson (USA), Balrog (Spain), and Vega (Thailand, or wherever Shadaloo hangs it's hat) changed their names due to localization issues. We could argue in-universe as agents of Shadaloo, they could have swapped names around to confuse people. Byson goes by "Balrog", Balrog goes by "Vega" And Vega goes by "Major Bison".
What are you talking about? This was no garbage friend...it was innovative with the secret special moves and cool graphics and music... ...and it played well enough back then... ...it was the seed to what you know now. Respect it! It should be in the HOF of video games!

You can clearly see he was trying to input both a Hadouken and a Shoryuken after his first kick vs Ryu. I never touched SF1 so I don't know how BAD this game is at doing special moves or if it's just this player's fault, but he's clearly trying over there.

Mike and Balrog/M. Bison are two different characters.
One credit to complete a game or nothing for me.
Mike Byson (USA), Balrog (Spain), and Vega (Thailand, or wherever Shadaloo hangs it's hat) changed their names due to localization issues.
We could argue in-universe as agents of Shadaloo, they could have swapped names around to confuse people.
Byson goes by "Balrog",
Balrog goes by "Vega"
And Vega goes by "Major Bison".
