this guy does a fantastic job in making it seem as if it is he who sings with all these small boxes of him but if you look closely sometimes you can see him making mistakes with his lip syncing. it is actually the cat, which i initially only thought were handling the drums, which is singing.

Might be three years late commenting on this, but I'm seriously addicted to these 'covers'. I've always said that it's music that makes retro videogames great, and then complete experience, and you just bring that to light. I'd love if you did some other classic SF tunes, like Balrog's for example!
man, this is a job that requires real talent. I know you've experienced those games, music and sounds. you become one with it and you feel it. and it shows that you are a much more intelligent person than ordinary people. I think you can perceive emotions that ordinary people cannot feel, see and hear in life. because only someone with these features can do it. RESPECTS
I can only hear it as "Ken's Theme" and as such I can't get myself to hear it in such a way. However I agree with you in loving in it! :D (I only tried to view that way cuz I love "dark and sinister" type music, myself)
McGroove is the king of vocal video game mixdowns, no question! If you're a Ryu and/or Ken fan, I combined both themes into one song for 2 violins and piano. I also timed it to a double-KO gameplay video between Ryu and Ken. It's pretty epic and I invite you to come check it out!
LMao! I'm sorry, this is an amazing use of the internet. But your beard coupled with your facial expressions are absolutely hilarious. Like a viking singing Capcom songs or something. lol Thank you for this, you made my day!
I'd love to see anyone do a cover of those themes, especially cyclops or wolverine. They're so powerful and upbeat! Shit, I wanna see someone do the boss battle theme from teenage mutant ninja turtles: turtles in time.
Plllllleeeeaassseeeeeee do this coverrrreere those songs are the shittttttt I grew up with that game!!!!!!!! Not many people know how great that game was and it’s music
wiiztec I actually agree with you man. I've heard numerous versions of this bad ass tune and this guys version sounds the best of all... closest to the original without trying to change it too much.
Jesus Olvera That's Guile. Ken was a rushdown character in most games. Even Guile's moveset was designed so you had to hold Backwards 1-2 seconds to charge up the special move so he naturally became a character that either walks backwards constantly or crouches down in opportune situations and positions.
When I was a kid in the 90's, there was some false notion that "red" Ken was stronger than Ryu (his moves did more damage) but it isn't true. Their moves did the same damage. On Super Street Fighter II: The New Challenger, Ryu's moves actually do more damage than Ken's weak moves. Ken's "fire" upper cut move if you only connected barely would do about as much as a weak punch.
vaibanez17 If I remember correctly Ken's shoruken had a wider horizontal movement, increasing the hit box. There were subtle tactical differences which kinda balanced them out, I think.
Automatik when child i remember asking the guy on the arcade '' look cousin , its Ken ! '' . The guy said '' Ken what ! , its Ryo '' ; He was playing King of Fighters lol
I’ve seen the preview pic of this video for years but thought it be silly to watch. But when I was curious I finally watched and all I can say is; This shit is so fucking awesome!!!

low tones isn’t the incredible part to me, those high tones are so clear :o

Examples?
Richard Zu examples of when the cat is singing? of course! what about 0:24? so obvious.
I'm pretty sure that Smooth McGroove is one of those dog-operated puppets that's been adapted for use by a cat.
***** what do you mean?
***** but how can you be sure that it isn't the cat that is singing?
Play it back at 1.5 speed for the version at the end of a fight when someone's weak.
Sounds so much better at this speed!
LoL damn I did it that shit is spot on 😆
HAHAHAHA forrealz 😂
1.25 is more accurate.

On a day off ,discovered my childhood again after 15 years, i am 31 now , u got me in tears man😣 this is amazing.
Love the snare drum-like sounds. They punctuate the song so well it feels like having an old school **pow** in every beat!
That first note was so epic, it made me want rip off my shirt and do a shoryuken. and then buy a new shirt to cover my shame
Yeah i know you...
I gotta hit the gym...
@Jonny Chung - Good thing Smooth McGroove sells t-shirts to replace the one you ripped. ;)
Just do like Ryu and throw endless hadokens😂
You must be peter griffin
I get goosebumps every time I hear this. You are fucking incredible McGroove, this is more than perfect!
Friend: what music you listen to?
Me:...its complicated
.
haha❤
Jajjaja🇨🇱
To each their own in Music preference.
I listen to Game Soundtracks as well, and have no regrets when people ask about it.
I have the same response
Lol
i think i have seen this video of you for more than 100 times and it is still worth watching
no puede ser pero si es pato asado
I only recently started listening to Smooth McGroove and I have to say, I love it whenever the cat makes a cameo
Middle top McGroove was really bringin' it.
+poshko41 He's the one that inspires me most:)
It's because that's the one that has the melody! 😁
😂🤣....you made me look and YES he was bringing the HEAT
Destroying. It. My. Man.
とても綺麗な声で癒されます。
For the longest time I couldn't get the Guile theme out of my head, now it's this.
This is great. You've made me login to give a like.

much approved
lol me too bro
Me too, now everyone complains ´cause I don’t answer the phone anymore
Ryu: there is no one like me
Capcom: show ryu Ken
You get my thumbs up man 🤣👍
That's actually insane man. Good joke 😂👍
Smart 🤔😂😂😂
wooooow that so dope!!! so many meanings in such a small line! kudos!
Underrated comment
Ryu’s and this one play in my head during TKD sparring class.
Gives me such a boost. Keep it up Smooth!
This is Awesome - Ken's Stage was by far the best Musically in Street Fighter 2
well a while ago you said you couldnt decide between this one and guile's (on the guiles theme comment section)
lolololol....
They are both great though
I think the snare is bottom left, with the kitty drumming
Gotta admit, your voice is beautiful lol
HA!.....
I see what you did there!
I'm sure hes autotuned a bit
ha gay

😂😂 wtf
Smooth McGroove must have said the word "Baaaa" more then anything else in his life at this point. Great cover
Wankface MacDoodle Plot twist: Smoothie is actually part goat.
Torcularis you mean sheep....goats bleet, sheep say baa....not hating just helping out
You know you're amazing when you surpass the original!
Jessica Trautman I guess you can call him a MASTER (cus Ken's last name is masters) Ill take my leave
sir soldier SURE-YOU-CAN!!!

we all thought we sound this good playing mouth instrument music, until we see this
@@TheAyanamiRei 😄👍
This Ken player was actually very good.
It's him playing.

Are you sure?
Very. Smooth always tries to get footage by playing the game himself. If he can't and it's someone else's video, he will say so in the description.
DaMattGuy
Impressive. Most impressive.
Bryan Merrill hmm yesh quite impressive
I dragon punched my niece when I heard this.
Lol
Into an oil drum?
On street fighter... lol
I bet that would've made for one awesome replay.
😂🤞😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Man the music from this game... and then looking at the graphics it looks like they aged well as well. Too fucking good. I'm gonna cry :D
Should try the HD remix they did of it. It's pretty fucking sweet. I have it on my PS3
It's so true. When it's done right the first time. It's timeless and there is no need really to change.. Like a bicycle, or a Jeep Wrangler!
Meinen Respekt!!
In ihren Liedern steckt viel Herzblut und eine Menge Arbeit.

It's just too good! :D

You my good sir, have commented on a 3 year old video, and received a heart. My utmost respect
Lol
The beginning to this song is so dark and sinister I fuckin love it
I can only hear it as "Ken's Theme" and as such I can't get myself to hear it in such a way. However I agree with you in loving in it! :D
(I only tried to view that way cuz I love "dark and sinister" type music, myself)
+TeddyPicker191 nah it's more of a epic build up
+TeddyPicker191 YES! THIS IS DANTDM'S THEME!
I always thought it was a boat horn
My fav theme in SF series..... base voice and breath control is awesome!!
10 years ago I posted that I love Smooth's acapella videos. 10 years later I still love his videos.
Dude you're absolutely awesome! And I also love when your cute cat appears!! XD
McGroove is the king of vocal video game mixdowns, no question!
If you're a Ryu and/or Ken fan, I combined both themes into one song for 2 violins and piano. I also timed it to a double-KO gameplay video between Ryu and Ken. It's pretty epic and I invite you to come check it out!
HA! love it. I've subscribed.
Your profile picture makes this comment so much better.

ALWAYS MAKES ME WANNA CRY EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THIS...BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES
That cat makes the video everytime for me!
For me too, he just takes all my focus away!
pa pa papaaa pa pa pa paa pa
The lyrics... nailed it..
Me: Can I get this on ITunes?
Smooth: Sure you can.
The sound from down left pic drive me the most. Have a human power output vibe.
I just went blind from overexposure to pure Awesomeness!
LMao! I'm sorry, this is an amazing use of the internet. But your beard coupled with your facial expressions are absolutely hilarious. Like a viking singing Capcom songs or something. lol
Thank you for this, you made my day!
his facial expressions are hilarious especially the center far right one in his bloody tears a capella it looks like he was having a conversation

you are the most authentic and original video maker on the entire youtube you do it for the love of the art and not for the likes or money in ADs
X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse - any of the first 5 themes. That game's ost is awesome.
I'd love to see anyone do a cover of those themes, especially cyclops or wolverine. They're so powerful and upbeat! Shit, I wanna see someone do the boss battle theme from teenage mutant ninja turtles: turtles in time.
Plllllleeeeaassseeeeeee do this coverrrreere those songs are the shittttttt I grew up with that game!!!!!!!! Not many people know how great that game was and it’s music
If you hold down "A" while pressing play his shirt changes to steel blue ...
Street Fighter 2 rules!!! excellent!!!
"Perfect", not "Excellent". See, "Excellent" is MK and...never mind.
you will not tell me anything that I dont know about this game
Like Mike Bison originally was a boxer and Balrog was a dude in a red outfit?
Adam Armstrong Correction, Vega's original name was Balrog, and M. Bison's original name was Vega
WhiplashWiFi I almost went with "Ken's original name was Balrog", but I thought that was too easy, haha. Good on ya.
I sing this alot at work, when people ask me what it is,i always refer them to this channel. This one is my fav! Soo good man!!
This man has the hair of a 20th level heavy metal wizard, the beard of Odin and the voice of GOD.
Publish a record with all this magic songs. I'll buy it.
its on ITunes, idk if its in stores
wait a minute.....
Shoryuken.
Sho ryuken
Sho ryu ken
Show Ryu Ken.
*George* *Takei* : "Ooooh myyy..."
fun fact: 'ryu' is Japanese for 'dragon' and 'ken' is Japanese for 'fist', so all together, 'shoryuken' means 'Rising Dragon Fist'
Xarazel 23 years playing street fighter and I didn't know that, LOL.
fun fact 2: in braziian protuguese "sho" sounds like "xô", which means "get out" or "excuse me" in a rude way. So "piss off, Ryu and Ken!".
also, 'Hadouken' means 'Wave Motion Fist'
That made me laugh. lol
First watched it when I was not even married. Now my son is also watching this
Imagine this guy beating you in street fighter perfect round every time while singing acapella. *mindblown*
anyone can do it
This was awesome! how did I even find this? lol.
Welcome to the awesome playlist. :)
balrog theme please :)
YUS, do it smooth
Yes yes yes
Oh hell yes
C'est toujours un plaisir d'écouter les capellas Smooth Mcgroove
2am. This is my life now
Can you make the Ryu theme ???!!! He is my favorite character...!
Ken's Theme us the definitive Street Fighter theme that's a fan favorite.
Ikr? this is the song I associate the most with Sf2
My favorite fighter of all time! You do him great justice bro.
This is actually he best version of this song
nah not as good as the classic remix
Patrick Star And which one is that?
wiiztec Very original.
wiiztec I actually agree with you man. I've heard numerous versions of this bad ass tune and this guys version sounds the best of all... closest to the original without trying to change it too much.
The black cat is like an easter egg in each video right? =P
Black cats just seem to give no shits. My Lenny will put up with almost anything too haha
Actually, you're expected to find the black cat.
The tabby is the easter egg.
Meshaber lol there is no tabby, not yet anyways
The cat is actually a cat, not an egg last time I've checked.
It's just a metaphor stating the purpose of the cat in the video I am not transforming the cat into an egg =P.
Ken = Owen Wilson
Biankito No.
Biankito ken is way more awesome than owen!
GustaveTheSteel
Yes.
Biankito Makes no sense to talk about ;-)
GustaveTheSteel
Fine ;-)
I re-played this song so many times while playing smash ultimate. You sir, have made a fan out of me 👍🏼
Yesssss
Ken, the firts camper of history
lmao so true...

Jesus Olvera That's Guile. Ken was a rushdown character in most games. Even Guile's moveset was designed so you had to hold Backwards 1-2 seconds to charge up the special move so he naturally became a character that either walks backwards constantly or crouches down in opportune situations and positions.
Samoutuomas Actually, Guile was mainly a rushdown character in ST. The only person to actually use a turtle Guile effectively in ST was Daigo.
Gimfigle496
I meant World Warrior. ST is obviously in a different ballpark.
658 people dislike this? this guy is so talented I got goose bumps listening to this old school street fighter 2 days
Thank you PC Master Race for bringing me here :D
I hope in the 11 years since making these videos he's showing his kids or family members what he's made back then to be inspirational to them.
This is so god damn motivating.
This explains why a lot of people prefer Ken over Ryu. Ken's theme is much more badass!
When I was a kid in the 90's, there was some false notion that "red" Ken was stronger than Ryu (his moves did more damage) but it isn't true. Their moves did the same damage. On Super Street Fighter II: The New Challenger, Ryu's moves actually do more damage than Ken's weak moves. Ken's "fire" upper cut move if you only connected barely would do about as much as a weak punch.
vaibanez17 Ken was angry. Therefore Ken was better.......
vaibanez17 If I remember correctly Ken's shoruken had a wider horizontal movement, increasing the hit box. There were subtle tactical differences which kinda balanced them out, I think.
Not only that, Ken is faster, has better hurricane kick and a better shoryuken. Of course his stage is way better too...
manniman82 You sir Have offended Ryu's honor I shall smack thi with rightouse fury
For me, Ken always looked a little bit like HeMan.
Automatik when child i remember asking the guy on the arcade '' look cousin , its Ken ! '' . The guy said '' Ken what ! , its Ryo '' ; He was playing King of Fighters lol
