The mid-late 90s period was in my opinion an important period to define what we could call "Capcom humor". Because SF2 was obviously too new and made with rudimentary tools and ideas, for the devs to bother with the humor expression through the own graphics and gameplay... But the transition to the "next gen" of Darkstalkers, Marvel and SF Alpha, and so on in later systems, got the devs interested in making the own games to look funny and good humored overall. Like, they "wasted" time and resources to make a funny intro animations, funny special effects (like Anakaris curses and being burned in DS), multiple win animations including funny ones, etc. Also the whole vibe in that gaming scene seemed to have better sense of humor. This idea of adding Norimaro is a good example... Also the creation of Pocket Fighter. These kind of things are less likely to happen in the modern fg era.
Fun fact: Norimaro is a based on real life comedian Noritake Kinashi and is only available in the Japanese verison.
Japan knew this should be an out of context for America
I Ironically got me a Japanese copy and played as him, I grew up believing.Norimaro was a Marvel character, poor fool young me
Omg the announcer even says the Super’s name that’s great
Also that Japanese text behind the guy says “I WARNED YOU” I believe
ULTRA VARIETY PRIVATE MEMORIES 😤😤🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Guess he used his own Raging Demon on Akuma.
This was so brutal my screen blacked out and only showed me the end.
I now want to play as norimaro.
Glad to see the return of a classic from the channel. The single reference videos and thematic compilation videos were the channel's specialty.
Not even close to what Pocket Fighters have.
Makes the evolution of Ivy's "Howling Spirits" attack from Soul Calibur!!!
Yep. That's shin Akuma, alright!

Worst Street Fighter Character Ever. 👎
Not from SF, and this game in the video is not SF, but ok
