It's so hard to find the Japanese sub of this on RUclips but I prefer it so much. There's a few scores featured in the American version what I prefer but overall the voice acting and music in the Japanese version is far superior.
I prefer the Japanese music actually. The soundtrack has the music from the Japanese SF II The animated movie AND the Japanese opening and closing (& karaoke vers) of the SF 2 V TV show as well on the CD. Something about that music is just... addictive. And love the Japanese music in this movie during Chun Li's battle and when Ken is driving in deep thought going to fight T Hawk at the docks. Also the opening and closing Japanese songs to Street Fighter II V also connects to the instrumental music during the show....
@@Grillenheimer Yes, generally I much prefer the Japanese soundtrack too, a few songs aside. In an ideal world, for me, they would have used the Street Fighter 2 game OST's, that would have been amazing.
I loved this anime from the first time I saw it as a 7 year old kid (I'm now in my mid-thirties, and if anything, I love it more now!), this fight (the opening frame of a brilliant video game adaptation, probably to this day, one of the best, and it's not even close!), between 2 otherwise pound for pound, equal fighters, at the absolute top of their game, on every level. kicking the absolute LUMPS out of each other, the thunder, the SMOKIN' rock soundtrack, the textbook hadouken on his absolute last legs from Ryu, just as a deranged, screaming, bleeding, beat-up Sagat is dashing at him using what last energy he has, just so fucking intense! THIS is how you choreograph a fight scene. A shame Capcom haven't really come close since this 1994 anime. Just brilliant. And this is just the first 5 minutes!
@@simplyphenomenal695 Fascinating you say that. I actually really enjoyed the work by Lerios and D'Andrea. The common 'fighting spirit' leitmotif that ran through the soundtrack, particularly in the opening fight with Sagat, Calcutta, during Ryu's training end meditation sequences as well as during Ken's meditation and the final fight, worked really well. I think it might be worth revisiting the US version. I'll watch the Japanese version again.
no it isn't although the english version from anime is generally far worse,this one is an exception the original OST and voice actors from this one are garbage

But the American version of the Ryu's theme is cool too. When he is climbing and remembering the past.
Agreed. Original Japanese always.
I Personally Think That The Japanese Version Sounds Like A Super Nintendo Game - Where The American Version Sounds Like A Movie .

"Power level 3,620?!?!?! That's impossible for a human! My scouter *must* be malfunctioning!"
- Raditz. Or maybe Vegeta.
Wayyyy better than the American cheesy one!!
Agreed dawg 💯
not the intro....the american version shits all over this
What made you feel that the US/Euro version was cheesy?
@@jblasutavario9549 the music was generic with cheap mediocre guitars riffs this one sounds more serious

Thanks for the upload, this music is awesome and reminds me alot of Bloodsport
Don´t forget, I once read that this Ryu character is actually based on karateka Yoshiji Soeno, interesting, huh :)?
Very!
100x better than the English version.
I highly disagree. Japanese version uses too much porn music.
no it isn't
although the english version from anime is generally far worse,this one is an exception
the original OST and voice actors from this one are garbage
ornitholestesful no you’re wrong. The Japanese voice actors are better.
@@ornitholestesful ost is better than that of the American version
I generally prefer original over any dub...but this one for me is an exception mostly for the soundtrack.
I usually prefer the Japanese version soundtracks, but in this case, the English version is way better.
one of the few times the international version is better than the japanese....
That's a hard disagree
I completely agree. Unlike DBZ where the Japanese version is 1000x better, here for some reason it does not have the same impact.
Japanese is better lol
