Back when you had to unlock the characters and not buying them. After 6 years and people still argue the same thing: "But you have to buy upgrades for the same game" Yes, but we're not talking about Super or Ultra. This is the vanilla, this was the last version that has the feature of unlocking characters without having to purchase the newer versions of the game.
Italian Rooster just from this intro and artwork alone, you can tell that gaming had care, spirit, and effort in it from developers. Now it's simply just a business.
I wish they add the whole Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Super Street Fighter 2012 Update, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter Omega in PS5
Yup. And SFIV as a whole was better than other iterations, it had the *gallery* mode and two types of trials, time attack and survival. SSFIV only responses with bonus stages and "more chars and stages", but that's still something, unlike USFIV, which is really lazily done.
Here we can see the precise moment fighting games ressurected for the new millenium. Man it can't be undestated how much this game saved the whole genre.
This game has a special place in my heart. I was 6 when I played it. I was taught by my dad at a very young age how to use a controller and kbm and got good at it then ventured games like the marvel vs capcom series and now I compete in smash bros ultimate and still play my childhood fighter games
Gorgeous watercolor painting in motion, and It sure takes me back to the 90s, there are allusions to SF Alpha 3, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, and...MANGA!!
When I saw this intro 5 years ago I was like "THIS is how you bring back a game series after almost a decade." Like the guy was singing in the intro song, I waited for a reason
@Spare Slipstreamz lol I've liked it since I was 4 aswell it was one of the first games I got with my Xbox I used to watch the intro at least twice before I start playing
The second part of the intro brings me back memories from the early 90's, first version of Street Fighter II. I'm almost 40 years old... anyone else from that era?
I'm 39, and I remember it in the arcade. The original, then Champion Edition, then Turbo and so on. I played the original version on my friend's SNES before Special Champion Edition finally came out on my Genesis.
Adrian, I'm exactly the same as you bro! My number one game from that time of my life. After not playing any Street Fighter games for years, I will always remember the first time popping this game into my XBOX 360 and watching it on my big screen TV with the audio system blasting. The chills and my heart was beating so fast that I though I would get a panic attack. LOL, honestly couldn't even press start till I composed myself and reloaded the intro again. On a side note, I'm really glad they have chosen this art style for Street Fighter 4 and 5.
honestly I hold this game with so much love. it's what's was introduced to me and my cousins by my long deceased uncle. We used to play this religously as kids at my grandparents house all together, i remember having so much fun. I really can't believe, one game tied so many people in my family together, but i guess that's the magic.
I don’t understand why everyone hates the music in Street Fighter IV!! They are literal bangers!! This is an example of one ESPECIALLY the second half!! The rest of the openings, all menus, character selects (give me the super street fighter iv one) stages (volcanic rim is the GOAT), everything!! If all you’re gonna say is, the character themes are just lame remixes, shut up alright!! Shut the hell up!! That’s one of the great parts!! Is it better than the OG themes? No. But are they bad? NO!! I cannot see you as a fan of street fighter if you hate the music in this game. SFIV music will always be top tier S+ rank!! SHORYUKEN!!
I still think this is the best intro in the history of video games. Nothing can even come close. And I'm glad that I was able to catch this game at the time of release. They don't do those things anymore.
Ey dude, i bought the vanilla game, played years ago, now i returned to usf4, bought the game, started from zero, learning from tutorials and guides, watching Kens Momochi gameplay....just love this fucking game. In play3!
Probably one of the most bad ass intros ever made! I just freaking love the colors and and how artsy it all looks. Also the song, while it sounds like a cheesy pop song... it compliments the series.
i remember playing this with my cousins. i would always beg them to let this intro play because it's so good. i absolutely love the music and the animation. it always made me really hyped up to play.
OMGGGG I Just got hyped all over again like it’s 2008 and I can’t wait for this game to come out man the hype around this game was insane and the intro was more than what we can ask for!! (sigh) great memories.
best SF openings: 1. Street Fighter IV 2. Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future (PS2) 3. Street Fighter Zero 2 4. Street Fighter Zero 3 5. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers 6. Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack
The music from this game was godly, like my loss record. I still sing on other fighter games and go DOOOOO DO DOOO DO DO DO DOOOOOOO DOOOOOOOO to this theme even if it's not a SF game.
I remember people really despised this opening. Now I look back at it and it just brings back memories and what an awesome time for fighting games and the fighting game community. I feel it will never get back to this again.
Yahya Gamer, it is THE NEXT DOOR by the Japanese All boy band known as EXILE. Comes in English, Japanese and Instrumental version, and each remixed by Flo Rida as well. Six tracks, I think at least.
Because of the graphics style, this game hasn't aged even slightly. The gameplay is still the best a fighting game has ever been. Best beat-em-up ever!
Lol when i was like 4 and used to play it i didnt know how to skip i used to get scared of the intro cuz there was akuma and bison and them so i hid in my blanket 😂

Ahhhhh the nostalgia
Italian Rooster just from this intro and artwork alone, you can tell that gaming had care, spirit, and effort in it from developers. Now it's simply just a business.
Also Vanilla SFIV surprisingly had more singleplayer content than Super and Ultra editions did.
I wish they add the whole Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Super Street Fighter 2012 Update, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter Omega in PS5
Even years later, best Street fighter opening ever.
BladeNinja
One of the best Videos game intros I’ve seen
Cross tekken tho was goat
Hands Down
I used to be so good on 360 but I suck on PS4

The hardest battle was to skip this masterpiece, good times!
Looool so true

To me, this is the TRUE intro of all Street Fighter IV version.
Yup. And SFIV as a whole was better than other iterations, it had the *gallery* mode and two types of trials, time attack and survival. SSFIV only responses with bonus stages and "more chars and stages", but that's still something, unlike USFIV, which is really lazily done.
Well, laziness nothing beats SFV.
Still the best intro (and better version).
I don't know, I like the Super Street Fighter IV intro just as much as this one.
Wrost intro and wrost song ever for SF!!!!
Here we can see the precise moment fighting games ressurected for the new millenium. Man it can't be undestated how much this game saved the whole genre.
Can't unhear that indestructible song. It's forever stuck in my brain
I swear ever since I played this game when it released till now, this song just periodically get stuck in my head constantly.
In-des-truc-tible
@Spare Slipstreamz omg same
so how is smell of the game?
its 2:26 AM and i literally am listening to it right now for the simple fact LOL
Its almost 2022. I still comeback 2 this vid to relive the excitement that I felt when Capcom announced this. Man time flies...
It is 2022 I still watch this masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's almost 2023 and I still listen to this bro
almost june 2023, 3 days before the big SF6 release, and i will NEVER stop watching this nostalgia filled masterpiece.
This intro takes me back. The stylized art and the music still gives me goosebumps.
This game has a special place in my heart. I was 6 when I played it. I was taught by my dad at a very young age how to use a controller and kbm and got good at it then ventured games like the marvel vs capcom series and now I compete in smash bros ultimate and still play my childhood fighter games

Bro, the Akuma vs Gouken sequence is one of the sickest thing Street Fighter has ever done. That raging demon at the end is pure art

2nd part of the intro literally give me chills...... it'll be dope forever.
9 years... and this still brings tears to my eyes.
is it bad that I loved SF4 because it was a major jump in graphics, it was well made, fun to play, AND THE INTRO IS SO DAMN AMAZING!?
Well SF4 was the one that brought the series back to the top after years
Still the best SF game after 3rd Strike.
This song makes me want to fight corona virus
Coronaviurs = Satsui no Hado. COVID-20 is gonna be epic.

this is actually amazing artwork
anyone who saw the street fighter 6 teaser trailer. you know why you are came here, nostalgia hits hard.
Lol you know it
Indeed
I still remember the first time I saw this intro. Literally my childhood, good old days.
Omg, sooo nostalgic, I actually wanna cry right now, this is one of the best "Street Fighters" :"3
Timeless, classic intro!
I’m not a big Street Fighter fan, but I must admit, this intro is.....AWESOME!!!!!!😄
They should have kept this intro in the SuperSS4 version
Super Street Fighter 4 has a different intro not the same intro as this
@@lamarsahadeo429 he said they should have kept it bruh
Street Fighter intros never kept they could change
Agreed. i grew up on this version
Ya
I remember first playing this when I was 7, just played it again today, good memories yn
I had such an amazing time with SF4, literally best street fighter for me.
Been years, but the ending to the intro still gets me hyped.
I remember playing this for the first and losing my mind seeing this, Sf4 will always have a special place in my heart
If you witnessed this and tekken 5 intro back in the day, you are a legend
i remember playing this back in the good old days nostalgia
The miraculously beautiful game that got me in the series.... I knew about it before but loved it after this
Definitely one of the greatest game intros
brings tears to my eyes, so many good memories
I get chills when the choir kicks in and Ryu charges the hadouken at the end-I can feel my back tingle!
When he did that I would yell "KamehameHAAAA" in sync with his shout. I'm not even remotely ashamed.
One of the best openings ever
This intro used to pump me up before the gym, whatever inspires you i suppose right. =)
One of the best intro ever XD
One word: *ART*
This was honestly one of the last great video game intros, sadly video game intros are rare now.
2:54 That kick with the splash of black...freakin awesome art direction!
Best sf game, best roster, best story, best songs, best final boss and best arcade mode.
The one thing the original Street Fighter 4 has over its other versions.
One of the best fighting game openings in my opinion
I don’t understand why everyone hates the music in Street Fighter IV!! They are literal bangers!! This is an example of one ESPECIALLY the second half!! The rest of the openings, all menus, character selects (give me the super street fighter iv one) stages (volcanic rim is the GOAT), everything!!

NO!! I cannot see you as a fan of street fighter if you hate the music in this game. SFIV music will always be top tier S+ rank!! SHORYUKEN!!
I still think the real fighting game is STREET FIGHTER IV I’m glad they made this game!!!!
10 years old but still looks fresh.
This shit right here got me into fighting games. I’ll forever thank SF4 for that
1:31 it starts getting epic
I still think this is the best intro in the history of video games. Nothing can even come close. And I'm glad that I was able to catch this game at the time of release. They don't do those things anymore.
This intro screams "you know who they are & they're back!"
2:19 Ain't no way bro's smirking like he's not about to get punished with foward HP into H - DP into Ultra
I wanna play this game again. It's my favourite fighting game of my childhood.
This along with the Ultra Street Fighter 4 intro was when Street Fighter was at it's peak.
With SF6 coming out tomorrow, I’m came back to pay respects to the game that got me into Street Fighter 🫡🫡🫡
It really reminds me of good old days of my childhood
the art direction and the choreography in this are immense
This is one of the few things that the Game Grumps have mentioned that lives up to the hype that they give it
Also arin got the words right which is rare
Woke up feeling nostalgic before I get on SF6
Something sf6 should’ve done but noooo
This song brings back so much memories. ❤
Keep coming back to see this piece of art

Agree I love it!

3. Street Fighter Zero 2
4. Street Fighter Zero 3
5. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
6. Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack
This may very well be the most formative game of my childhood for me
