This video means different things to different people. For young people, it's a history lesson. For people that grew up with it, it's a reminder of simpler times.
We need a Marvel vs Capcom collection featuring Xmen Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, Xmen vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2.
LinkToo 🤣😂 Right..... they dont rob and beat you senseless in japan. North American arcades were Dangerous. The youth just does not know how violent gangs were in Arcades in the 90's.
Not so much arcades these days as they aren't profitable anymore. You're better off finding a local gaming lounge as they usually keep the FGC alive with a couple get-togethers a month. Shouldn't be too hard if you live in /near a somewhat big city.
judging the lack of mvc content from Capcom I wouldn't be surprised if the make a Collection like this one but with Xmen children of the atom, Marvel Superheroes, x men vs Street fighter, marvel Super heroes Vs street fighter, Mvc1, and mvc2
Grew up playing this. I loved it as a child and I still love it as an adult and, I will just love it my whole life, because it was a great game back then, because its still a great game today and because it will always remind me of my childhood and the great times I had playing this game.
Wow the memories i have of staying up all night with my brother playing Street fighter 2 all night on our Super Nintendo when we were kids are priceless. Ha 27 yrs later and gaming is still our favorite.
Shout out to all those 25-40 who were old enough to play Street fighter in the Arcades and seeing it now grow before our very own eyes. Gosh, I’m so happy to play all my old favorites again.
I'll be 36 this year, so I pretty much grew up with Street Fighter. I still own games today, and I definitely still play! I do plan on getting this on steam. Ryu and Akuma were always my best characters.
As long as you buy it, whatever! I've never had a dull moment playing any of the classic SF games, personally. The best part of this collection is having the whole history and a choice. All the online games are going to be insane!!! I never double dip but I bought this twice. PS4 for the free Ultra SF4 and the Switch just to have it anywhere! (I've got arcade sticks for both setups so I'm going to have a blast)!!
When arcade fighters were the rage back then, only yesterday it feels like I was at an arcade playing Street Fighter and Street Fighter II when they were released and now fast forward to 2018....time flows so fast and it never stops for anyone
Street Fighter 2 is legendary. I grew up on it in Arcades, though I was REALLY bad at it, esp since as a kid (born in 88) I didn't know or was taught about motions and specials too well, so I kinda aimlessly flailed about and manged accidental Specials xP. But the game made a super strong impact for me, same with Mortal Kombat, Tekken and even a bit of Killer Instinct & Primal Rage when they also debuted. I LOVE fighting games, there's something truly special and unique about booting one up with friends, or when at the Arcade some other gamer and having a close match occur. It was also because of characters like Chun-Li & Cammy ( along with Samus from Metroid years before) that started the slow trend of Female videogame characters being just as strong & important as Male counterparts, which honestly was a BIG thing back in those days. I will have to say, that despite growing up on Street Fighter 2, it was when the Alpha series came around where I REALLY found my biggest love of the franchise, and still do today. It's still Capcom's flagship franchise and it's obvious it does well for them, seeing all the different iterations , Anniversary releases, the ports and soft expansions. It'll def be a game that seems that will live on and on
Street Fighter, King Of Fighters, Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Darkstalkers, Fatal Fury, Marvel Vs Series and Tekken. Are the best franchises of fighting games ever you mean!
Pre-ordered mine on the ps4 pro, I can’t wait! My favourite Street Fighter game would be Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo. I get to play 12 arcade perfect form games plus Ultra Street Fighter 4, THIS IS SO AWESOME! I can’t remember the last time I’m this happy!
I know this is basically a sponsored ad, but still, it is refreshing to see OG Street Fighter given its contextual//historical due for once, after years of hearing it bashed by younger players who don't understand how revolutionary it was next to the competitors of the day; being Karate Champ, Yie-Ar Kung Fu, Karateka, etc. Again, I know this is sponsored, but it is worth mentioning that the combos in world warrior were actually an unintended side effect of the super responsive controls; & that the championship & turbo updates were created to counter all the bootleg arcade revision boards coming out of Asia. Anyway, love some street fighter.
Capcom if you by any chance read this, THIS IS AN AMAZING COLLECTION, and so are the X collections, if you and Marvel could release a Marvel vs Capcom Collection featuring everything from X-men: Children of the Atom- all the way up to Marvel vs Capcom 2 in one big collection(or just Marvel 1 & 2). That would be amazing and millions of people would buy that on the spot.
quick poll: who here thinks that ultra street fighter 2: The Final Challengers will in fact be the final and definitive version of streetfighter 2. Second, if you don't think ultra will be the final version, what would you people like to see in any future street fighter 2 updates. I have a few ideas: 1 to introduce tag team matches and 3 on 3 combat....2 more customizable soundtracks...3 much like hyper street fighter 2, to allow you to mix and match earlier versions of each character. 4 a training mode which tells you and walks you through basic and advanced combos for each character. 5 more multiple widescreen options - for example, you can use the standard wide and full screen views plus you can view the game as if you are viewing it in the arcade - similar to the one presented here but instead you get to see your game being played on a full arcade machine. 5. multiple options for smoothing out the sprites like in the marvel vs Capcom 2 for ps3
Balrog (boxer) was actually in Street Fighter 1 too, it's just he was called originally designed as a parody of Mike Tyson and in SF1 was simply called "Mike", then in the original release of Street Fighter II his name was expanded to Mike Bison (M.Bison) however for the English releases Capcom got worried about Tyson suing them so M.Bison the boxer became Balrog, Balrog the cage fighter became Vega and Vega the dictator became M.Bison. Years later Tyson would reveal in an interview he actually liked the parody.
I guess old stuff is always fun to go back with and play. I do appreciate new stuff a little more though, I’ve played a lot of street fighter 2 on the switch
I tend to think that Final Fight had been a major influence on why SF2's gameplay felt way much better than SF1. Final Fight's gameplay engine had a high sense of technicality, Capcom carried it over into the production of SF2:WW
This video means different things to different people. For young people, it's a history lesson. For people that grew up with it, it's a reminder of simpler times.
The Game Capsule not really.
More like a time more complex
3rd strike
Mike Strong This video didn't talk about 3rd Strike at all. Mike Strong participates, but does not pay attention in class. F.
are you role playing?
Freak.
Mike Strong tell me more how this video talked about 3rd Strike.
Right
We need a Marvel vs Capcom collection featuring Xmen Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, Xmen vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2.
You forgot Marvel Super Heroes.
That collection would be absolute gold.
Too bad Disney probably won't do it
StaticShock42 Heck to the yeah bro
Don't forget a darkstalkers collection aswell with cyberbots and warzard as unlockables same layout as this collection pure gold..
I dont care how many times they re-release street fighter I will always support. this game played big part of my child hood growing up.
Cool vid.
Can't wait for the SF3 retrospective!
Love you're animations!
Alright. That's Cool!
DAB -CITY Go outside kid.

Emezie rules!!!!
Nostalgia Level: 230%

Yes. Street Fighter 2 was my childhood. Thank you Capcom.
You mean it's over 9000
Tommy Vercetti Games
Glad I'm old enough to experience playing SF in the arcade an to see what it evolved into today. Best fighting game series ever IMO. RYU FOR LIFE!!!!
Phil B you don't need to be old to experience that, they still have arcades in Japan
LinkToo 🤣😂 Right..... they dont rob and beat you senseless in japan.
North American arcades were Dangerous.
The youth just does not know how violent gangs were in Arcades in the 90's.
Sxrewhead but is there a big arcade scene like in Japan?
Not so much arcades these days as they aren't profitable anymore. You're better off finding a local gaming lounge as they usually keep the FGC alive with a couple get-togethers a month. Shouldn't be too hard if you live in /near a somewhat big city.
Wish we could get Marvel vs Capcom 2 on PS4.
P
The best one
I didn't really like that game it felt buggy like it was MUGEN
up
judging the lack of mvc content from Capcom I wouldn't be surprised if the make a Collection like this one but with Xmen children of the atom, Marvel Superheroes, x men vs Street fighter, marvel Super heroes Vs street fighter, Mvc1, and mvc2
We love you James Chen.. Appreciate the community we share passions for.
So hyped for this.
Gonna get both, the PS4 and Switch version.
It was nice for James Chen to give this bio, he's been around long enough to give the entire history of the game with genuine recollection.
My guy said laundry mat and grocery store man that's my childhood right there man.
Grew up playing this. I loved it as a child and I still love it as an adult and, I will just love it my whole life, because it was a great game back then, because its still a great game today and because it will always remind me of my childhood and the great times I had playing this game.
HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY Street Fighter

This just made my day! Gotta live Street Fighter
Literally only buying this for 3rd strike
and alpha 3..?
As long as you buy it, whatever! I've never had a dull moment playing any of the classic SF games, personally. The best part of this collection is having the whole history and a choice. All the online games are going to be insane!!!
I never double dip but I bought this twice. PS4 for the free Ultra SF4 and the Switch just to have it anywhere! (I've got arcade sticks for both setups so I'm going to have a blast)!!
WolfSajin ALPHA 3
The version on ps now is way better

Excellent video, dude!
You made me revive all my childhood with these 15 minutes. (Tears dropped)

Very nice video! It took me back.... all the way back. I learned a lot too!
Street Fighter will always be the king.

Oh wow, thanks for this! I love all versions of Street Fighter II! Also picked up a Street Fighter II comic book during Free Comic Book Day this year!
I always DID love STREET FIGHTER since the old 90's days!😁
MK, Street Fighter and Tekken, are in my opinion, the best franchises of fighting games ever!
Renan Quarterback 7 nope Sonic the Fighters is king!
Renan Quarterback 7
Dead or Alive?
Street Fighter, King Of Fighters, Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Darkstalkers, Fatal Fury, Marvel Vs Series and Tekken. Are the best franchises of fighting games ever you mean!
Renan Quarterback 7 What about Def Jam Fight for NY?
The king of fighter to
Really looking forward to getting this!
Excellent video btw ☺👌
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike... I'm in for a nostalgic trip of a lifetime
SF2 Turbo was my favorite.
Idiotic Tirades ❤️
Pre-ordered mine on the ps4 pro, I can’t wait! My favourite Street Fighter game would be Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo. I get to play 12 arcade perfect form games plus Ultra Street Fighter 4, THIS IS SO AWESOME! I can’t remember the last time I’m this happy!
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for ps4 plz
Great video, this and tekken took a lot of my parents laundry quarters lol
What about KOF and Virtua Fighter? Did they also take your laundry quarters as well.

I'm not teary eyed! My wife is cutting onions beside me!
Alpha, 3rd Strike and SF2 Turbo were my era’s Arcade Go to’s. Only one I kinda mastered as 3rd Strike & I put countless hours into it ✌️
Great!! Finally Hyper Fighting on the right speed
That history though 😎
I can smell Round Table pizza watching this.
I AM SO HYPE FOR THIS TY CAPCOM!
I'd love to see more of these videos. Especially on Alpha and the SF III trilogy
Capcom if you by any chance read this, THIS IS AN AMAZING COLLECTION, and so are the X collections, if you and Marvel could release a Marvel vs Capcom Collection featuring everything from X-men: Children of the Atom- all the way up to Marvel vs Capcom 2 in one big collection(or just Marvel 1 & 2). That would be amazing and millions of people would buy that on the spot.
Super Turbo is still one of my favorite fighting games of all time.
James Chen was almost in tears during this video.
Cannot wait for this, bought an arcade stick just for it!
Woah. Balrog used to look just like Tyson.
Grant Huling that was the point before they made him strange then fixed him again
And he was supposed to be named “M. Bison.” Still is, in Japan.
Mike bison originally
Yeah, that's the reason why they rearranged the names 3 characters Vega was Balrog, Balrog was M.Bison and M. Bison was Vega
Grant Huling you mean bison
Street fighter is my favorite game at all times
I cannot wait to get this game on the Switch.
Alpha 2, Third Strike and Super SF 2 are the ones I still play today.
was waiting for a SF2 original not BS remaster and finally we getting it with original VA too , so excited for this!
I cannot wait for this.
Now if only all the mortal kombat arcade games could be released
Awesome video. Can't wait for the Alpha series and SF3 series retrospectives.
This was very interesting.. I'd always been curious about the original Streetfighter, but didnt know anything about it.
Nostalgia is over 9000!
I can't wait to pick this up for Fighting Street
This collection goes with everything like Guile's Theme :)

I would love to see CAPCOM do the something with "Darkstalkers" and the "MARVEL VS CAPCOM Series"
My nostalgia level: 344%
I f*cking LOVE that STREET FIGHTER 3 intro music! It's my fave SF game in general.
what a great video!!
That was great!! :)
Only buying it for the soundtrack. Takes me back to my childhood quicker than chun li’s kicks

Oh the memories
Narration by James Chen ?! Me likes
Great job!
Beautiful.
Wowwww!! Awesome video
Street Fighter 2 a true meaning of a classic
Amazing!!!!
Great vid!
Just wish they included all of them. So many more I want to play.
Im so excited 4 this im gonna grab this 4 the ps4 & nintendo switch cant beat the price.
Great old footage.
Old footage, best footage
Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter III series are the best eras of The Street Fighter Series.
When you press select on the title screen of SSF2 you can change the speed setting, so SSF2 can also be played faster
I love the collection, all of the games are perfect, everything except Super Turbo's broken difficulty xD
Back when patch notes meant releasing another version of the game. This really shows how far we've come.
Adhurim Mujaj more like how terrible its gotten.
Nerds in hotel ballrooms looking at a phone for help, instead of instinct. ROFL.
SOFT LITTLE NERDS.
JAMES CHEN!!
Amazing.
Miss these days!!!
Fantástico, o jogo da minha vida, coisa pra fã mesmo!!
Memories 😎
As a 14 year old boy back in 90, my Bro and I used to pause Chun Li all the time to try and look up her skirt 😂😂😂
I guess old stuff is always fun to go back with and play. I do appreciate new stuff a little more though, I’ve played a lot of street fighter 2 on the switch
I tend to think that Final Fight had been a major influence on why SF2's gameplay felt way much better than SF1.
Final Fight's gameplay engine had a high sense of technicality, Capcom carried it over into the production of SF2:WW
that was the highpoint of SF, downhill from there
Awesome :)
That was awesome
Great video.
