Damn man that music always gets me. Playing this while my older sister sat me in her lap having no idea what I was doing, just happy to be around her and the “big people”… I’m sorry guys. I hope you all have great memories regarding this iconic game too. Peace.
Zangief was who I used the very first time I played this at a pizza shop in the summer of 1991. I had no clue what I was doing and Dhalsim whooped my ass.
Bana göre tüm zamanların en iyi,en ikonik ve büyüleyici dövüş oyunu Street Fighter II. Ne saçma sapan kombolar var,ne aşırı renk patlamaları ile göz yoran vuruşlar var. Saf teknik,zeka,refleks gerektiren ve asla bıktırmayan, grafikleri zamanına göre eşsiz,müzikleri birbirinden güzel, tam anlamıyla zamansız bir güzellik. Bu oyuna en iyi rakip Street Fighter II Championship Edition ve Tekken III. Gerisi zaman kaybı.
Playing with Zangief it was very difficult when Vega climbs up.. he is too slow for getting away from the spanish grabbing zone. Against Sagat in this game is very difficult because both tiger magic hit the russian even being in crouch position.
@@Simon0 😂. I use to be intimidated by him and actually got beat many times by Zangief probably because I would play different and as I said before was intimidated by him. Blessings from Las Vegas.
Can't believe a guy good with zangief like this couldn't take out vega he almost lost to Vega. Sagat is an ass with zangief cuz you can't duck his tiger hadouken as the bosses are a walk in the park except for sagat well when I play with zangief that is and I've beaten best ranked player in the world in street fighter online but he did win rivalry and doesn't want to play me when im matched with him lol
This was the first video games my friends and truly went Gaga over. We would spend hours in an arcade playing it. I bet it’s the last truly great arcade game.
I take it you never tried any of Sega's arcade cabinets? They had the most advanced tech in the market for a very long time. Virtua Fighter 2 looked like it was about 10 years ahead of anything we'd ever seen when it came out and that was just one example off the top of my head.
@@Longlostpuss 10 years ahead? what??? in 1994 the arcade was already in decline, as PC graphics took over (and a little later joined by consoles like playstation.) In 1994 , virtual fighter 2 was still impressive, but not 10 years a ahead, as those other platforms would catchup in 1-2 years. And by the time of Xbox and PS2 almost nobody went to arcade halls anymore and they died off, only some nostalgia is left these days
@@Blackadder75 Please name me a fighting game that looked, played and moved better than Virtua Fighter 2 on home consoles or PC, or any other arcade for that matter? To my mind, the only game that beat it was its successor VF3 a couple of years or so later. But even then, Virtua Fighter 2 continued to look impressive I'd say until Dead or Alive 2 came out, which wasn't until 2001, so pretty close to that decade I suggested.
@@Longlostpuss a) I wasn't talking about fighting games exclusively, but games in general. b) your claim was not that VF2 was better than any other game in 1994 (which I agree to) but that it was 10 years ahead.. which obviously is an exaggeration. c) looked, played and moved better are subjective criteria. you might think that 90s 3d fighters are (or were) the best ever, but other people don't like that play style , or don't like that style of graphics. Personally I was never impressed by such games, but I did like some other 1994 games like Daytona USA. (Also SEGA) For me that looks much better than VF2. But again, that is my personal opinion, you are free to yours
@@Blackadder75 @Blackadder75 That's cool, I just challenged the author's original statement that SF2 was the last truly great arcade game and my view was that it was far from it, there were plenty of other ones and arguably better. Don't get it twisted, I absolutely loved SF2 when it first dropped and still do now, but what he said was typical of alot of people who tend to get overexcited and overrate one particular game, especially if they came from that generation, because surely their horizons were far broader than just SF2. We were absolutely flooded with quality around that time. For example, TMNT Arcade 1989 is one of my personal favourites, nothing will beat the great memories and fun times I had of that game when it came out in terms of an arcade experience, but I would never say something as ridiculous as it's the last truly great arcade game.
I might be the only person on earth who prefers world warrior to turbo. It's glitches are part of It's charm and eight characters was always enough for me. I feel overwhelmed when there's 30 fighters to choose from.
The transition in life between Street Fighter 1 and Street Fighter 2, is like the transition from your Mom taking you to school, and you taking public transportation to school.
as a kid i couldn’t pull off a single Zangief move. Now as an adult, i can consistently pull off SPD and Running bear grab. I’ve mained Zangief ever since 2022. And I don’t plan on stopping.
First time I saw this was in the local Chippie (one of only two local chippies) in my small home town in North East Scotland. I thought I’d been transported to the future.
Grappler characters can be real powerhouses, when used right. Just see what's going on in fighting game tournaments, inorder to get an idea, how powerful grapplers, can be.
Everything about this game was timing luck. This sure brings back a lot my childhood nostalgic memories, lining up my quarters on the arcade machine with my friends. 🙇
The first level of Contra, the Batmobile level in Batman Returns, and Honda's stage are among my earliest memories. I remember my cousins taking their SNES back home and I cried because I wanted to play the cool fighting game so bad 😂
I remember on the SNES there was this cheat but cant remember if it was for this or SF2 Turbo. But just before the CAPCOM image at the beginning of loading the game you would press something like: Up, Down, Left, right, Y,B,X,A and then it would make that CAPCOM sound again.
Battle vs Vega 1 double K.O, 1 Lose, 2 win for the minimum. Awesome vs I love Street Fighter They gave you some good beatings that make the game more entertaining
You have to give it to Capcom for rejuvenating the arcades for the 90s as it was declining in the late 80s and for popularizing the fighting genre that SNK Midway would follow.
It's funny the graphics are so much sharper and better on this modern monitor, compared to the arcade game's low-res CRT display! Whole different look and feel to the game, actually. It's fun to find an old arcade machine with Street Fighter on it and play for a while.
Zangief is a badass. Once you're master him, Zangief is a quite powerful character. It took me some time back then to execute the spinning piledriver with ease and still struggle with that move sometimes, I think it's the most difficult special move in SF to do... for me
This and SFII Turbo are the only ones I play. Ty for displaying multiple moves and finishes. Most just spam SPD. I hoped for a few arm drags, but it's very rarely done by anyone.

Na minha opinião o SF II World Warriors foi o melhor Street Fighter já feito. Os personagens eram mais balanceados na minha opinião. Zanguief era mais lento, mas ele era mais forte de fato.

No need to apologize.
Yeah man no need to apologize. We all miss being in your sister’s lap
@@joebaldi4110 oh no, brother, whyyyyy
if there's anyone that shouldn't apologise for reminiscing it's you with this comment
It was your sister actually, whom his father kidnapped when she was young so...@@joebaldi4110
RIP Gorbachev. You were there in one of the funniest endings of SFII.
The amount of lunch money this game took off kids worldwide ....
Dude!!!!
Inclusive o MEU.
and skipping homework to play this game
And gave a lot of fun in exchange, let’s not forget
Incalculable amounts
Zangief was who I used the very first time I played this at a pizza shop in the summer of 1991. I had no clue what I was doing and Dhalsim whooped my ass.
Sounds about right and my experience as well
range vs tank
Isn’t the exact same comment posted earlier below?
Shout out to Pizza stores with video games in them. You don't really see that anymore
Used to play this while waiting for a pizza to made in my local pizza takeaway store aswell. BRISTOL ENGLAND
Such fond memories, all the quarters lined up waiting for their turn, great times😎
Zangief showing E. Honda some love in that thumbnail.
Dropping Spinning Piledrivers like candy lol. Trying to pull them off on a SNES D-pad was brutal.
I don’t think it was possible
@@kxp.1496it was.
No way
Yup, was so much better with the Genesis six button controller! To this day, one of the most perfect console controllers ever made!
Yeah I think I've managed to do it once, it was extremely difficult.
1:20
chun li staring at zangief's junk like "dayum he packing big"
lol
he sat on her face at the end 🤨
Poor girl, she didn´t knew that Zangief was openly gay.
Ryu's spine was literally crushed after receiving three Spinning Piledrivers in a row. 🤜🏻💥🤕
I literally feel his pain, ouch 😂
If it makes you feel better Vega avenged him
well if you only grab and throw without it Zangief ist toast
A true played game, no tricks, no cheats, just strategy. Good for seeing it.
it's like a game of chess
One of the best fighting games of all time!
I think definitely the best ever.
one of the best ? dude it's from 1991, relative to its time nothing beats it.
Best FG of all time.
Top 1 in my opinion. After this.. Mortal Kombat.
Definitely the one that every other fighting game has been based off of ever since it’s creation.

Bison and Vega battles were thrilling
Facing Ryu and Ken the iconic main character duo as opponents also was rather challenging
Playing with Zangief it was very difficult when Vega climbs up.. he is too slow for getting away from the spanish grabbing zone. Against Sagat in this game is very difficult because both tiger magic hit the russian even being in crouch position.
The very first time I ever played this back in 1991, Zangief was the character I picked. I had ZERO idea what I was doing and Dhalsim kicked my ass.
@Def Blinders. Your comment about getting your ass beat made my day. Something similar happen to me I was Ken . Blessings from Las Vegas.
You chose the worst character 🤣. It's cause he looks strong
@@Simon0 😂. I use to be intimidated by him and actually got beat many times by Zangief probably because I would play different and as I said before was intimidated by him. Blessings from Las Vegas.
@@danielnut7474 🤣🤣👍
That was around the same time I first played it and I think I choose Blanca.
The game of my childhood in the 90s. I had this game on Super Nintendo.
Most of us did in 1993-94
I have had it all my life. I'm unstoppable as ryu. I liked alpha 3 too
@@Charlesmclark2 what system you play it on nowadays?
@@antoniomitchell1883 SNES and GBA
No, actually. You didn’t.
Amazing 4K quality, all these years later these graphics still look excellent
++This video is edited and not playable with the same video quality++
from the video description
This is one of the most aggressive Zangief I've ever seen.
omg, that 4 round battle against vega was awesome!
Can't believe a guy good with zangief like this couldn't take out vega he almost lost to Vega.

VEGA- советская акустика из Новосибирской области)))) Vega 50АС-106
when speed meets power!
That was super lucky vs Vega. He is the perfect Zangief counter in this game.
Eu lembro que vi a 30anos atrás, alguém jogar e chegar até o fim com o zangief. Parabéns!
Eu ... zero com ele sem perder
Everyone at home starts Dancing with Gorbachev 😅😅😅

Dam them cross ups! Imagine seeing this gief in the arcades in 91. 🤯
Sagats tiger uppercut still shocks me to this day of its OP hahaha
A brilliant example of how to use Zangief at a professional level.
Ah zangief. My only gaming crush. And naturally my body has several tattoos of him.
The transition in life between Street Fighter 1 and Street Fighter 2, is like the transition from your Mom taking you to school, and you taking public transportation to school.
Zangief was badass. The best grappler in the game by far. Plus that spinning piledriver was awesome. 😂
Gotta love these thumbnails.
Zangief, the first master of grabs and throws on street fighter!
I wasted so many quarters at the arcade mastering this game and Mortal Kombat.
I can't believe i just watched the whole thing and have zero regrets
Always loved Vega...glad the match went 4 rounds...so rare. Well done, overall.
I completely forgot about that ending. That was great lol
That first round vs Balrog was pretty sick
8:55 9:10 The Balrog fight was nasty with the CPU spamming, but you did good fighting him Retro Fighters
as a kid i couldn’t pull off a single Zangief move.
Now as an adult, i can consistently pull off SPD and Running bear grab.
I’ve mained Zangief ever since 2022. And I don’t plan on stopping.
Love this game. Looks amazing. Ty for restoring this master peace
First time I saw this was in the local Chippie (one of only two local chippies) in my small home town in North East Scotland. I thought I’d been transported to the future.
The all time greatest epic opening sequence to a video game EVER in the history of all mankind from the dawn of time and before.
I’ve once again developed an addiction with street fighter 2

i remember back in 1991 - 1993 this game was 40% of the arcade games. Revolutionnary
Heavy Skillz with Zangief!!💪💪💪👍👍👍
I love this Soundtrack, that's childhood!!❤️💪👍
What a childhood era was that will never comeback
What was that move at 15:36 ? A thousand hand slap similar to Honda ? I didn't know that Zangief had that move
11:35 The amount of life this low kick of Vega drained!
That screwdriver is the most powerful move in the game. It damages your health bar
That was a good arcade with the red cyclone it was nostalgia and worth watching
What a nice summer 1991-92 waiting for some drachmas to walk 5km and go play!

I played for years and never know how to make the spinning piledriver and i tried thousands of times😂
Hondas face after defeat looked like me after I lost in wrestling
Why we could never pick the first two fighters. From the game? What a mean right hand. 👊
the fight against spanish Vega (10:00) is INSANE!
That opening sequence in the into is WILD af
And I used to think it was impossible to beat the game with this guy. 😄
Some matches are just flat out tough for Gief. The boss fights.
I never picked Zangief other than to practice the 360 power drive!!
Very nice! Liked! ✌🏾💯😃
that thumbnail wild man
It got my lil jimmy excited.
Zangief piled driver required you to rotate your joystick 360 degrees. I could never pull it off as doing this would just cause him to jump.
Same here😅
Meu Personagem favorito. Só jogava com ele. (My favorite character. I just played with him.)
No me canso de ver videos de este juegazo.
Te nítido se ve nunca lo vi asi
The fight with Vega is where I would've starting cursing and swearing at the game's dev team. I might do it right now!
Comrade Zangief from the You-ESS-ESS-Are!
i liked zangief more than the others. i even named my turtle after zangief. but i never managed to play well with him :D
1992 gold glory days in my 12 yrs old .
I finish the game with all caracters.
If dont lose any round you ca see all caracters together in the screen..

Yeah the arm drag, the normal piledriver. There was the powerbomb too but that might have been just in turbo
Love how you kicked Sagat in the balls! 😂

Practice and practice.
Its just a spin and punch or kick
Mastered all the moves zangiefs pile driver never managed to do once did it accidentaly
Hold punch & 360° joystick.
Que lindo recuerdo 🎊🎊 nunca me voy a olvidar
That Vega round was BS, he jumped the fences 3 times in a row
Just realized M Bison is also from Thailand like Sagat 😮
But M. Bison speaks Japanese and dresses like a fascist imperial dictator of Japan.
