Fun fact: The composer of Street Fighter II is none other than Yoko Shimomura, the world famous composer of the Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy XV and the Mario & Luigi series. Even back then, her music is still amazing. The best part, she did return to compose remixes of Ryu’s and Vega’s themes in the Super Smash Bros. Series. 😊
I actually had the pressure plate sensitive Street Fighter 1 arcade at my childhood arcade. The enormous buttons were far too strong for my 6 year old hands
@@lssjgaming1599 SF1 does suck. I've also heard the pressure plates wear over time, and eventually can result in bodily harm if you're jamming on them too hard.
It's kind of funny to remember the Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat rivalry back in the day. It was almost as heated as the Sega vs Nintendo rivalry. I was firmly a MK kid, but I did like me some Street Fighter when I was over at a friend's house. He was also a Sega kid while I had the SNES. Worlds colliding, man.
The purpose of the Alpha/Zero series was to emphasize the use of lengthier combos. Alpha 1 had chain combos which allowed lights to connect to mediums, mediums to connect to heavy punches/kicks. At a glance, it seemed rather nice. At best chain combos were absolutely terrifying to exploit because the game lacked two things: damage scaling over time (I forgot the correct term for these) and a downtime from being stunned again after you were previously stunned from the same combo, meaning you can be perma stunned. You can literally die from one combo in Alpha 1. So Alpha 2 had to get rid of the chain combo system in favor of a system that was considerably more linear. This allowed the game to feel more like Street Fighter 2 while allowing the player to use at least half of their super meter to perform custom combos which was somewhat risky but rewarding. Alpha 3's ism system was simplified by allowing 3 styles of play. X-ISM was the representative of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo which gave you one super meter, more damage given and more damage received with limitations such as no air blocking. A-ISM represented the Alpha series system which allowed you access to the basic Alpha fundamentals from Alpha 2 minus the custom combo meter. The amount of damage given and received was balanced. The last style was V-ISM. V-ISM takes the custom combo system from Alpha 2 and made it more accessible. The damage done and received was low, but this was unmistakably the most popular ISM for most characters in high level play as the damage done from a custom combo was substantial (without being broken).
KamektheMagikoopa1 Yes. Guy retained his signature combo from final fight and pretty much punch chains. However Gen didn't retain anything because he was [re] introduced in Alpha 2.
KamektheMagikoopa1 Never said he couldn't. I'm just saying Gen can't retain something from Alpha 1 when he was never in Alpha 1 to begin with. That means when he was introduced in Alpha 2, he was designed for chain combos to shape the identity of his character. In Alpha 1, chain combos shaped the identity of the game and he has no part of that because he wasn't in Alpha 1. That's all.
And final fight which was originally going to be the second street fighter but they thought it was to different, but they had no problem naming street fighter 2010 after the series
Man, I thought persona started at 4, and atlus has never released a game other than persona 4, ever ever. At least, that's how some of the people I talk to act. "What's a shi nee gah may ten say?"
+Kingnewgameplus persona 4 is amazing but it's so critically loved that the rest of the series gets pretty skimmed over. Persona 3 has 1 movie, while persona 4 has 2 anime series, a dancing game spinoff, a fighting game spinoff and and a crossover with 3. Like Jesus Christ Atlus. I'm still waiting on a person 2 anime or movie adaption. Persona needs to go back to the darker themes like its early days.
Just when I think Johnny's channel coudn't get anymore awesome, he posts a review on another beloved game franchise. Johnny...you're the man and that's real.
LambentBlaze I was too! Until they gave us that free patch for arcade edition its actually good now 3 yrs later its sad though cuz all my attention still goes to injustice 2 and the new Dragon ball fighterZ.
It’s hilarious because it’s really Karate Champ & Yie Ar that are responsible for the fighter craze.. SF1 was intended to be a hybrid of those two.. And there’d be no SF sequels if not for the original..
You have to admit though. For all of SFV's lack of content, the detail in characteristics and somewhat comical designs is enormous, making people like me love every character in the game Edit: I still have a soft spot for SFV, but DAMN SF6 is making them even more expressive. Ironically, their designs are relatively more realistic.
30th Anniversary contains SF1, all iterations of SF2, all iterations of SF3, and Alpha 1-3. Fuck yeah! Never played most of them so I'll play that shit to the ground when it releases.
Gina Molina I bought it like within the first week it came out. I got the switch version since this was before I got a ps4. The analog sticks on switch controllers don’t feel right for hadokens and other special moves so I’ll probably sell it and get the ps4 version.
I think I played a street fighter game once, but it might have been another fighting franchise's game. All I remember was that it was on the SEGA Genesis. Edit: I recognized the box art in this video, it was definitely SF2 Special Champions Edition But I do know I like my Ryu Amiibo
Johnny sir...you have made me very interested in revisting the Street Fighter series. I only played Street Fighter 2 and Alpha 3 growing up. I love your retrospective vids man.
If Johnny does Marvel versus Capcom, he has no choice but to start with X-Men: children of the atom. There would be no Marvel versus Capcom without that game.
The Street Fighter series? More like the Street Fighter II series! Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Outdated memes are one of my specialties.

I know I'm a little late but it astonishes and makes me happy that Johnny recognizes and acknowledges how great the Blazblue franchise is, in which its a series of games that are underrated but known and are a joy to play
Man 5 is such a good game "to play". Chip kills only from super, Vtrigger, Vreversal and Vskills, More damage on throws, gray life on M and H normals. It's got so much... and yet so little. :( 2 years from now it will be the best I'm sure.
man dude, thinking back on it now, this video is almost ENTIRELY the reason i got into street fighter, hell ANY fighting games. it's the reason i'm a Ken main, the reason i always use the blue alternate color, the reason i have my preferences for any fighting games 8 years after this video released, thank you john, truly. ❤️
I can relate to this a lot! Growing up as a huge fan of Johnny this video was honestly the reason I picked up the 30th anniversary collection and branched out into lots of other fighting games in the future. So yeah I'm very thankful this video was a thing 😊
He's only done the Main Console Mega Man Games as well as The Gamecube Battle Network... When he gets to The Mega Man X Series I wonder if he will make a reference to the time he lost to Storm Eagle when he did a Playthough of it for SGB or Brainscratch I think...
The storm eagle incident started on brainscratch and he didn't die during that fight, but he came very close to dying and he wasn't using the proper stratagies
Good shit Johnny, watching your video made me see the series from a more casual perspective, too much competitive play can be toxic for a game and i appreciate the input you gave that brought me to light
*"Since 1987...since 1991"* < You knew *exactly* what you were saying and what I was thinking. I didn't fathom every game that was released but I can tell you now even Street Fighter II had more replay value than SFV. What I hated the most about the franchise other than it's convoluted story was it having too many characters. I think most of them are fine but the remainder are totally forgettable and shamelessly returning into newer games. Sadly, I even forgot about Rainbow Mika even when the Naruto-like voice acting threw me off. Most importantly, I hate the damn re-releases with "extra content" when they're really just optional DLC that should've already been in the damn game already. Great video once again!
I will always remember Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo because of one memory. I was attending a Comic-Con which had a SSF2T arcade cabinet. After seeing some matches and the descriptions given by myself, the hosts asked me to commentate on the match proceedings for 20 minutes. Best 20 minutes of my life. I came up with names like 'Lilac Bison' and 'Blanka the Terminator' due to costume appearances, and was filmed by my dad and others. If you don't believe me, I can upload the video of me at 2017 MCM Manchester Comic-Con commentating on matchups like Bison vs Balrog and Ryu vs Blanka.
Street Fighter V: Round 2 is going to be hilarious. The game has changed a lot but the in game economy is on some Great Depression for a long while now. Tons of content to the point of "free" is a misnomer.
Great series! My friends and I still play tournaments (local multiplayer, ofcourse) on Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the SNES and on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the PS3. Back in the day we used to get crazy about winning. Now, it's just pure fun!
it's also on the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection available in PS4, Xbox One (thank goodness PS5 and Xbox Series X are backwards compatible), Switch and Steam
yeah SF3 is definitely one of the most impressive examples of pixel art in video games. Elena’s idle animation is unreal, nearly 70 frames of pure, unadulterated 2D animation and pixel art mastery. most of the animations in that game are completely fucking insane in terms of complexity, and the sprite quality, detail and color choices are all top-notch. SF3 is some fucking *professional* work.
I actually started the Street Fighter series with EX+A and I loved it. The cast was great, you unlocked the hidden characters by doing the tutorial things, and the combat was fluid enough for my 6 year old self. Did I suck and not be able to pull off most special moves? Yep. Did I love every second I played with my brother and dad? Abso-friggen-lutely. The best part of the entire series, though, is getting that win with the shungokusatsu and having the kanji "heaven" take up the entire screen and get that ear piercing *shing* sound effect blasting out the speakers.
So many fighting crossovers from Marvel vs Capcom, to Tatsunoku vs Capcom, to Street Fighter vs Tekken (plus Mega Man and PAC Man), to Mortal Kombat vs DC, to Smash Bros, But when the hell are we getting Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter?! It’s the most obvious idea of a fighting crossover and I’m still waiting for that to happen!

Most importantly, I hate the damn re-releases with "extra content" when they're really just optional DLC that should've already been in the damn game already.
Great video once again!
To be honest I'm surprised you made it to Sagat in SF1, I gave up at Adon
13:54 dude look like dashiexp
We need a gif of Johnny dancing like Zangief.
I will always remember Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo because of one memory. I was attending a Comic-Con which had a SSF2T arcade cabinet. After seeing some matches and the descriptions given by myself, the hosts asked me to commentate on the match proceedings for 20 minutes. Best 20 minutes of my life. I came up with names like 'Lilac Bison' and 'Blanka the Terminator' due to costume appearances, and was filmed by my dad and others. If you don't believe me, I can upload the video of me at 2017 MCM Manchester Comic-Con commentating on matchups like Bison vs Balrog and Ryu vs Blanka.
Dr. Badtimes I don't. Upload
If you pause at 9:02 you can clearly see ken hits sagat but sagat still manage to pull off tiger uppercut to take all of our money lol
Johnny do a newer updated version on Johnny Vs Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and CD!
Street Fighter V: Round 2 is going to be hilarious. The game has changed a lot but the in game economy is on some Great Depression for a long while now. Tons of content to the point of "free" is a misnomer.
Capcom want you to spend that money on those season passes.
It's freemium at its absolute worst.
But then again, it's nowhere near as bad as CTRNF
"The parry system is hard to pull off"
Daigo: LMAO
Great series! My friends and I still play tournaments (local multiplayer, ofcourse) on Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the SNES and on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the PS3. Back in the day we used to get crazy about winning. Now, it's just pure fun!
Hey John are you still considering doing a Megaman X review like you did for the classic series?
he will eventurally, but next couple of marathons are star fox, pokemon, then sonic. zelda was going to be next but he decided to delay it.
He already did.
*calmly waits for johnny to talk about akuma*
You should do a review The King of Fighters and Mortal Kombat
I wonder if Johnny plans to update this video to include Street Fighter 6
12:38 was there supposed to be audio? Cause it's just an akward pause in sound
I think the audio got redacted because of copyright
“But Fighting Street is on the Wii Virtual Console.”
...Y- Yeah.
it's also on the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection available in PS4, Xbox One (thank goodness PS5 and Xbox Series X are backwards compatible), Switch and Steam
You should have waited one more week to review the Story mode.
Why?
you didn't watch the video, did you
Jus tell me bruh
I don't think he cares
The story mode isn't going to save this game.
You should do a vs with the KOF series
yeah SF3 is definitely one of the most impressive examples of pixel art in video games.
Elena’s idle animation is unreal, nearly 70 frames of pure, unadulterated 2D animation and pixel art mastery. most of the animations in that game are completely fucking insane in terms of complexity, and the sprite quality, detail and color choices are all top-notch. SF3 is some fucking *professional* work.
I actually started the Street Fighter series with EX+A and I loved it. The cast was great, you unlocked the hidden characters by doing the tutorial things, and the combat was fluid enough for my 6 year old self. Did I suck and not be able to pull off most special moves? Yep. Did I love every second I played with my brother and dad? Abso-friggen-lutely. The best part of the entire series, though, is getting that win with the shungokusatsu and having the kanji "heaven" take up the entire screen and get that ear piercing *shing* sound effect blasting out the speakers.
9:00-9:03 Sagat mains in a nutshell
And also the Street fighter oqivilant to *BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THE GROUND BURN*
Hat's off to Johnny for recommending Blazblue
26:15 When Smash Bros has better Street Fighter content than Street Fighter.
3:33 I have that same reaction sometimes.
So many fighting crossovers from Marvel vs Capcom, to Tatsunoku vs Capcom, to Street Fighter vs Tekken (plus Mega Man and PAC Man), to Mortal Kombat vs DC, to Smash Bros, But when the hell are we getting Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter?! It’s the most obvious idea of a fighting crossover and I’m still waiting for that to happen!
Im more of a Blazblue and Smash bros kind of gal street fighter is good but not my cup of tea
I hope he does a round 2 for street fighter 5
when are you going to review. Kirby
Next year
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
max matthews Hey at least you have a conformed year
+KidSnivy69 when did he confirmed it
+KidSnivy69 Yea when'd he say that? :/
Great video! I'd love to see more series retrospectives like this in one video.
Where can I find the cutscene at 25:49 I can't find it link for it please
