For those speaking on the "huge increase in quality" for SF2, you gotta realize SF1 came out in 1987 and SF2 came out in 1991. This is a solid game for 1987. At the time, people were playing games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and RBI Baseball. Contra hadn't even come out yet for consoles. Hell, a lot of kids were still playing Atari at the time because the NES didn't really make it into most homes until 88-89. By 1991, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and NEO GEO were already out and the tech had vastly improved.
Oh, how I used to love this game as kid when I was growing up, hooking school and going to the arcades or hanging out at the pizza shops to play it. And the graphics, the colors and the quality of the artwork and music and sounds (although the voice wasn't that impressive for its time) and yes even the gameplay were incredible for their time. And believe it or not, people could actually get consistent fireballs, uppercuts and windmill kicks out in the arcades at the time.
While these are valid points but they hardly touch upon the factual position of SF2 being a huge improvement in every way. I don't think any other game sequel can come close to this.

I will never forget the day I was walking around, far from home on a spring weekend. I saw my classmate "Chin" playing this game in a pizza shop. He was a wizard at the game and completed the game effortlessly. Chin had a technique where he could execute "Haduken", "Dragon Punch" & "spinning air kick" with ease and at will.
I played this in the arcades when it came out in the UK. Shinobi, Double Dragon and Golden Axe days. I think it was one of the first and certainly the most well designed tournament fighting game at the time, it was very popular during its era, I can assure you.
man, i remember being like 9, 10 years old pumping quarters into this game at the candy store/ice cream shop on Myrtle Ave about 4 blocks away from my house....my mother kept asking me why i was asking for 5 bucks every day lol.... the only enemy i truly remembered, besides Sagat, was MIKE...i loved the background with Mount Rushmore, and his taped up hands, and how he looked just like a regular dude.....and how he whooped my ass a lot whenever i played... seeing the other enemies jogged my memory a bit, but Mike was really the only one i fully remembered.... im shocked at how many people either didn't know this game, or just didnt play it
When I played Mike, I would get the first hit then back all the way into the corner and crouch block. All he would do is that crouching uppercut until time ran I won from health advantage.
That's a cool story. I remember they had one of these machines at the Peter Piper Pizza in Chesapeake VA off Sparrow Road. It was in this little alcove mini arcade that you walked up some steps into a dimly lit arcade room. The only time I'd ever played the first Street Fighter because in the 90s Street Fighter 2 was the popular fighting game of the time. But I begged for some quarters from my mom because of how awesome it looked.
Yeah, I think it was games like Karate Champ that preceded this. SF2 did a better job simplifying its visual designs, but the better of things don't pop into existence polished.
This game was truly difficult (maybe doesn't look like it here) & the special moves could be hard to pull off where as in SF2 its easy & they should be the same.
What yall dont understand is the standard for fighting games was not even established at this time. Mfs were playing games like Karate Champ on NES were the characters didn't even turn around automatically when crossing someone up. Most "fighting games" were just arcade beat em ups. When you take into consideration this was the beginning of the fighting game standard it makes you appreciate it a little more
Mike was meant to be tyson who then became balrog. When s.f.2 came out balrog & bisons name's were swapped on the u.s or Japan release, I'm guessing being a boxer named m.bison (Mike tyson) might of had copy right issues ???
It's a good thing Capcom green lit a sequel with more larger than life characters (as well as with a catchier soundtrack). But it is cool to see where the legend began.
Even though Ryu had suffered a series of traumatic brain injuries, he spent his days traveling the globe attacking people whose entire existence was a cultural stereotype.
Yeah lol cus theyre really difficult to execute lol Dp and fireball can still mean a lot if you use them right, its just that fighting games have progressed beyond getting lucky you actually managed to fire DP to more complex techniques like proper use of DP, proper confirms into supers, and so on.
Very fun fact: Joe was supposed to be the main character of SF1. That's why he appears on the title screen punching the wall. He was replaced by Ryu and became a computer controlled opponent at the very last second.
There are actually multiple opponents in the game you only have to one hit on then can safely block until the time runs out as long as you have more health then them. As in they don't have any low attacks, grapples or chip damage moves thus the standing block completely shuts them down. Birdie and Adon among others.
I remember that beating Mike was a nightmare, until you figured out that even a slightest hit landed on him was sufficient. All you had to do then was to use a croucing block until the time ran out.
Abslolute gem, we can see in SF1 you could play Mike Tyson and he was change to Baalrog. Game looks absolute great for 1987! we could see that games on pc after 1992 so we have to wait 5 years.
I remember this game in the arcade. It was just horrible. The controllers were loose and unresponsive, making the moves almost impossible. You can see him struggling to do fireballs and upercuts. You were lucky to pull a move off 10% of the time. The sequels were great, but i have no idea why they made street fighter 2.
I remember when I was in junior high and high school I used to dominate this one and the second one and the first and second Mortal Kombat I spent hours playing those games back in the day I was the champion and the Woodville Mall has been torn down for several years
How many of these guys came back in a later entry? I don’t play fighting games, but I think it’ll be cool to see how they evolved a character over the years. Only ones I think came back are Mike (Balrog), Sagat and Gen.
@@solarflare9078 Yes they would, the music is like the one good thing about the game. Hell capcom was always good with music, just look at the nes megaman games.
In "SF1" the final boss is Sagat, but in almost every following game; it's M. Bison. Like for "Mortal Kombat", its final boss is Shang Tsung and in almost every following game; Shao Khan.
@@valerieleex The game actually spells it right on the world map, but when the announcers said it when it brings up the big flag its misspelled. Don't know how they messed that up.

Characters forgotten in the versions that came later: • Retsu • Geki • Joe • Mike (in Art of Fighting became Micky - who only wore arms) • Lee • Eagle Characters remembered another versions that came later: • Gen • Bird • Adon • Sagat • Ken • Ryu
Mike was not forgotten. Mike is Boxer. In Japan, he became M. Bison (Mike Bison, a very thinly veiled reference to Mike Tyson). The US version had a three-way name swap, so he became Balrog.
Ryu looks and sounds the best in this game because he's represent his japanese heritage unlike the later games where ge looks more like a white boy , smhh
as a white boy i totally agree. The new streetfighter he has a thick beard and has pale skin. They should have kept his japanese heritage more alive in the latest game
Food for thought, alot of you are shitting on the game your parents and grandparents played, but within the next 30 years gaming will improve expedientially and the kids of that generation will talk shit about Street Fighter 6. Give props to the OG, an entire genre began with this game.
Ken is also in this game, you can play with him as player 2. Birdie, Eagle, Adon and Gen have also returned in the SF Alpha games. Geki dies in the storyline but his successor Geki II appears in SF5

Eagle is in Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper and Geki is very recurring in lore/endings/backgrounds
Mike was not forgotten. Mike is Boxer. In Japan, he became M. Bison (Mike Bison, a very thinly veiled reference to Mike Tyson). The US version had a three-way name swap, so he became Balrog.
HaxorViper Eagle also appeared in Capcom vs SNK 2.
Andrey Luiz Eagle was in Alpha 3.
Woah, this is WAY different.
Also, Ryu's a redhead!
he was in alpha as well (a bit on a browner side), i guess since alpha is supposed to happen between sf1 and sf2!
Wow, constantly being told that there will always be out there to get you feels eerie...cool:)
good generation, I was 12 years old, time passed quickly, and my son and I still play it.
Nobody remembers the original Street Fighter. Street Fighter 2 is what made it what it is today.
Tell me you're a millennial without telling me you're a millennial.
@@mime3761 lol im a millenial and i remember this game. was one of my favorites
Nawl, 🫵🏻YOU, just don't remeber it rookie. I will never forget it. Unlike you
As a kid I always wondered how was there a two but no one. Nobody could answer that question for me at the time.
Ryu looks and sounds the best in this game because he's represent his japanese heritage unlike the later games where ge looks more like a white boy , smhh
I dunno he seems very Japanese in color
as a white boy i totally agree. The new streetfighter he has a thick beard and has pale skin. They should have kept his japanese heritage more alive in the latest game
'The intro guy, punches wall, walks off "ok my work is done.
Happy 35th Anniversary to Street Fighter I!
A my the only one that knows that the hadoken in 1987 was named dragon fire, the tatsumaki senpariukan dragon kick and the shoryuken dragon punch?
Food for thought, alot of you are shitting on the game your parents and grandparents played, but within the next 30 years gaming will improve expedientially and the kids of that generation will talk shit about Street Fighter 6. Give props to the OG, an entire genre began with this game.
Joe was beating his Assets lol
"Round 1................MICHAEL!"
Why does it say Michael hahaha!
i have only saw this at the arcades in a few places. In fact, i havent seen it after SF2 was released. And i always wondered what did SF1 looks like.
Sagat and ryu are the only people who made it to the next games
Ken is also in this game, you can play with him as player 2. Birdie, Eagle, Adon and Gen have also returned in the SF Alpha games. Geki dies in the storyline but his successor Geki II appears in SF5
Remember playing this in the arcade and not knowing any moves lol. Then stumbling upon one spending a week trying to recreate it lol
The voices in this just make me laugh. I know it was way ahead of it's time, but the voices the characters make are too hilarious. 🤣
