@@thomaskane7810 I like to imagine it in terms of an actual automotive turbine. Like a nerd who manages to take his own nerd exhaust and use it to forcibly induct more nerd power. Nakayama clearly loves the creative history of Capcom fighting games, and hasn't hesitated to blast that passion out into the world. Truly deserving of the turbo-nerd label.
6:20 Ryu's face completely mad/disappointed at himself for losing is fucking awesome. So much of the characters personalities coming out through this art pieces. Amazing!
@@joseolguin988 ikr! It's like he's angry at his legs for not being able to get up once more. The fact that a simple drawing makes me think something like this is truly something magic.
For real. The run through Rival Schools was such a nice change of pace from what we've come to expect of fighting game story modes. Nothing too complex, just enough to convey a sense of who the character is and what their motivations are. The old win/lose screens acted in a similar way but condensed down to a hyper efficient nugget of character building. Ditch the hour long cutscenes, bring back compelling art that tells a story on its own merits.
@@OneColdRepublican yes! He made a video showing off some old art of his. Max was very into classic Capcom and 90s comic book style stuff from what he showed. It was dope.
In my case, it was akiman's character select portraits for new generation that pretty much jumpstarted my desire to get better lmao. Total (perceived on my end lol it has to be a stylistic choice) disregard for line weight but holy hell it always got me feeling some kind of way.
@@CorneliousScott-cb7sb Super not true. Most people just don't practice enough, they stick to what they know instead of branching out or learning new techniques. You might not be the next Nishimura, but many artists can grow leaps and bounds by practicing with more intent daily.
I mean I kinda like to draw sometimes but why would you be pissed at someone because they are better than you at something? They didn't have those skills from the moment they were born. They learned them. So of course, we can too. I like to improve myself at whatever I do that I love. Being angry at others who are better than you at doing things that you love isn't going to make you better. Trying to learn about it, practicing it, being patient and focusing is what is going to make you better. But I am pretty sure there are aspiring artists with a similar mentality to mine so you are most likely wrong.
Looking through these, I definitely wish that Japan had a fighting game museum with wings dedicated to each major publisher. Or hell just a capcom museum. Seeing the Sf3 stuff as well as darkstalkers and mvc and all that great artwork really makes me realise that modern street fighter (4/5) just kinda feels hollow in comparison, character just oozes out of all that artwork, it’d be nice to see a return to form for the capcom fighting game division in the future, hopefully with someone passionate in charge we might see a return to the glory days.
A fighting game museum+arcade combo would be the sickest fucking thing in the world, I’d legit travel out to something like that no matter where it was
a Museum or art exhibit would rock! With arcade games next to them would be like a Japanese Disneyland. By the way Japan does have classic video game arcade type places.
I really hope the devs are taking cues from these finds for the overall art direction of SF6. The optimist in me thinks it may not be a coincidence that Nakayama is posting these...
I really didn't like the visuals of Street Fighter V, I think Guilty Gear got it perfect, kept the lovely 2D hand drawn look but made it sharp and vibrant with more animation scenes.
The new guard at Capcom Dev 2’s fighting game team really care about their history, I love it. Also, the girl next to Chun-Li for the CvS2 sketches is Athena.

It's the 30th anniversary of Nishimura Kinu starting to work at Capcom. Most known for her art on the Street Fighter Franchise. Ms. Nishimura also did the art for The King of Dragons, Saturday Night Slam Masters, the Darkstalkers Franchise, Rival Schools: United by Fate, Armored Warriors, Gunspike, Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, and Tech Romancer.
I knew that style felt familiar. Something about it just kept poking me to ask, "Where's Techromancer?" They said DnD too? Man. Those were some of my favorite wuarte muncher games and still stuck with me.
Shows appreciation for Capcom's Fighting Games and General Legacy, Remembers Old forgotten Games AND is a huge SNK fan? Yeah, I feel Capcom's Fighting Games will be fine in Nakayama-San's Hands
Street Fighter Alpha 3 is one of my favorite games ever and part of it is because of the incredibly cool artwork that served as loading screens in that game.
I don’t really have any personal history with Capcom’s fighting games, but seeing official artwork of Ace Attorney characters in a different art style at 12:58 is equally exciting to me! Capcom is able to pull crossovers off as well as they do because all their characters are seriously spectacular from a design standpoint.
Classic Bengus art is something else, man. The original Darkstalkers artworks are some of the most beautiful and imaginative stuff out there. It's really a testament to how amazing those character designs are and it's a crime how underrated the crew as whole is.
Damn, this really pulls some heart strings. Basically all my teenage years were about drawing and getting inspiration from those artworks; sending them to contests, in videogames magazines. That's absolutely amazing and nostalgic! :')
Fantastic vid, Max. As a young artist entering "The Biz" in the mid-90's, this era of Capcom was something I think a lot of artists, especially character guys held as the high benchmark back then regardless of which particular genre of videogames we were working on. I can feel my wallet still shuddering when I think of the cost of importing all those Capcom artbooks back then...GAMEST Mook VOL 17, Capcom Design Works. As far as I'm concerned, those volumes are the "Rosetta Stone" for the ideal in videogame character concept art.
My dude...As a hobbyist artist myself, this is literally a gold mine!! Thanks a bunch for sharing, man. I really sympathize with the whole artbook reference on our early days, or any days of an artist's life haha Keep em coming!
There is the "Darkstalkers Official Complete Works" book with at least some of this stuff in there, but I'm guessing there aren't any with all of it, hence his digging. But yeah, I do too man. It's so cool and inspiring to look at.
Admittedly I was hype and little angry that Capcom Japan let old achieved art works in corner of an office out of neglect. Capcom could had gotten tourism money if they had a Capcom Museum of lost Capcom Art work of 70s to current era.
Upper management is an absolute shitfest from the 2000's based from all the vids detailing their failed games. Capcom Fighting Jam was a symptom of bad things to come.
Capcom should definitely release the Capcom All Stars game in some way. I do hope Capcom fixes their fighting division, we need Rival Schools 3 and a New Darkstalkers. Capcom Cup should be more than just Street Fighter.
Agreed, we really dont need a SF6. The release of Akira and seeing how everyone is hyped and got people playing SF5 shows how much people want a new rival schools
Caught you talking about this on a separate stream, I didn't realize all the recent art I had been seeing on Twitter was being shared by Nakayama or who he was within Capcom. So thanks for sharing the info, Max! That 90's Capcom art is a HUGE reason why I pursued a job in the creative field.
Not gonna lie, this is now one of my favorite if not THE favorite video in Max's long history of videos. Now if we could only see PowerStone sketches. I absolutely loved that game.
All this gold just sitting there fading away is a sure crime, and yeah marvel vs art would be amazing, props to this guy for finding all this old stuff, I love it.
Thanks for this, Max. There is so much nostalgia hitting me right now, I think I'm gonna get KO'ed by a 99-hit combo! I just followed Nakayama-san, kudos for bringing this up and super Kudos for Nakayama-san for giving us fans an insider's view of original artwork in the CAPCOM vaults!!
Surreal. I haven't drawn with any real sorta passion sense like 2015 or earlier, but just seeing those lines got me pumped. Can't wait to see what else this guy digs up.
Thank you for featuring this, we need more people with a reach like yours to champion archiving old artwork. Capcom's work is second to none and while a lot of it is archived, it's a fraction of what exists because their output was non-stop back then.
From what I recall, Capcom fighting all stars also ran into a lot of issues with the games on location crashing. There would be location tests and people would complain that the machines crashed
man kinu nishimura is one of my biggest art inspirations and no one i talk to ever knows who she is so seeing max absolutely gush over her art makes me wanna cry, this is so amazing ;-;
First of all, that's amazing, I love it when old art of a legendary franchise is amazing Second of all, it's good that people like him are willing to dig that up just for viewing
I'm a fan of hand-drawn art myself. Love that Max gives us information to go along with the gushing. All these years, had no idea a lady did some of that 90's art I loved. The more you know.
Dood, I always love these old artworks, of classic fighting games, especially the capcom ones from the 90's.😃 7:33 That Chun Li art looks really good. 12:14 That is still one of my favourite pics. I wish Ken was in the pic too, close to Ryu in the background, looking up at Akuma. Nice vid Max.👍😎
Those lines.... God! I ADORE such crisp line work. It's almost a lost art now just solid, clean pencil work giving the move to digital. Thank you for sharing, both you and he.
This is all great, I love it all! I hope to see concept art of Rival Schools and X-Men Children of the Atom in the future, thank you TakaNakayam- san for scanning and uploading, and thank you Max for uploading a video about all this art!
Kinu Nishimura's art for the cover of Capcom Design Works is honestly iconic. So many characters crammed into one artwork and they're individually distinct from each other. It's been recreated for other Capcom related artbooks by other artist, and also the Overwatch artbook.
Seeing this and in 2 years we have Capcom Fighting collection, and now waiting the MvC collection, seeing that 2 SNK characters are going to be on SF 6, the dude is the best, Nakayama-sam is THE BEST, maybe all the MvC 2 art is on the collection, the only thing we maybe see later is an CvS 1 and 2, both of them Nakayama-san and Matsumoto-san are LEGENDS.
I'd love a video series of Max looking at fighting game concept sketches from all over fighting game history and gushing over the process of creating characters, dynamic poses, coloring and shading! This is all I do when I'm looking for inspo' for a piece I may do, it would be such a great time for all the artists subscribed!
I live for this stuff. These are the kind of things that I like just being a nerd about it’s so cool and I love it. I wish more game companies did this.
This art is INCREDIBLE Can we get a Capcom fighting game that's hand-drawn but super fluid looking Kind of like Mega Man 11 or what Tatsunoko and Marvel 3 did but purely 2D
Seeing this and some of max's old art is really encouraging. Max if you ever wanted to pick up a pencil again and do art videos or tutorials that'd be amazing! Your art is great!
I legit was an art nerd for 90s capcom like max. I used to buy the art books from Japan. I'm so happy to see stuff like this from in house capcom and gives me hope in sf6 and more. Please have a good art style
We're still talking about Capcom here, some of these people thought Abigail and fucking Dan needed to see the light of day again. I'd *heavily* temper my expectations.
There's just something so special and nostalgic about those 90's arcade games. When I played X-Men vs Street Fighter I just couldn't believe my eyes, Ryu shaking hands with Cyclops what the hell is this. Marvel vs Capcom was so awesome, the characters, artwork, music, animations are still 10/10. Megmans taunt when sticks his tongue, my goodness so much personality with these games. Capcom vs SNK 2, still one of the greatest games of all time. Thanks for uploading this Max. ✌😎👍
Would be crazy if Nakayama-san released a few unreleased/early drafts of some Capcom bangers. The music that came out of those arcade machines are still unmatched imo
Great artwork, my favorite video game artist is Kita Senri for her work in Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. But I will also look up some of her old work back in her SNK days. Great art should always be appreciated.
There's a picture I've seen waaaay back in the day probably around the time of hyper fighting possibly around when the 1st SF alpha came out. Of bison sitting on the edge of a bed with 2 girls possibly dolls. In their undies and he's putting his hat on one of their heads and she's smiling. I have yet to ever see or come back across that piece of artwork again. Anyone else ever seen that one.
That was Athena Asamiya with Chun Li in that Kini Nishimura line art for CvS2 at 4:22 and 13:58. The star on the headband was a dead giveaway. The line art pages after with Hikari, Morrigan, Cammy, Mai, and Nakoruru sealed the deal.
How much max appreciated these details in games is seriously why he’s the best at what he does. He’s the reason I stream and put up content in general. Absolutely loved seeing these legendary works of art 🖼. Peace and love y’all

This is all great, I love it all! I hope to see concept art of Rival Schools and X-Men Children of the Atom in the future, thank you TakaNakayam- san for scanning and uploading, and thank you Max for uploading a video about all this art!
Kinu Nishimura's art for the cover of Capcom Design Works is honestly iconic. So many characters crammed into one artwork and they're individually distinct from each other. It's been recreated for other Capcom related artbooks by other artist, and also the Overwatch artbook.
Seeing this and in 2 years we have Capcom Fighting collection, and now waiting the MvC collection, seeing that 2 SNK characters are going to be on SF 6, the dude is the best, Nakayama-sam is THE BEST, maybe all the MvC 2 art is on the collection, the only thing we maybe see later is an CvS 1 and 2, both of them Nakayama-san and Matsumoto-san are LEGENDS.
I'd love a video series of Max looking at fighting game concept sketches from all over fighting game history and gushing over the process of creating characters, dynamic poses, coloring and shading! This is all I do when I'm looking for inspo' for a piece I may do, it would be such a great time for all the artists subscribed!
I live for this stuff. These are the kind of things that I like just being a nerd about it’s so cool and I love it. I wish more game companies did this.
This art is INCREDIBLE
Can we get a Capcom fighting game that's hand-drawn but super fluid looking
Kind of like Mega Man 11 or what Tatsunoko and Marvel 3 did but purely 2D
agreed
using strive technology
Wait mega man 11?
@@jac1011 👏
Seeing this and some of max's old art is really encouraging. Max if you ever wanted to pick up a pencil again and do art videos or tutorials that'd be amazing! Your art is great!
Man seeing all of the sketches were so dope
I love it! My favourite video of yours in ages!! This feels like a Christmas morning :)
The 90s was the best decade for Anime, Video Games, Comic Books
Kinu Nishimura is such a godess of artwork I NEED MORE!!!!!!
Honestly it’s so awesome to see these mannn
Even since max talked about this in another video I've been waiting for this, everything looks great.
GOD there's so much good art being displayed and I Love Max's reactions!!!
This archive is amazing. So many treasures.
Max using an arrow in the thumbnail 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Literally unwatchable
He's going to be pogchamping in the thumbnail next
This is amazing artwork capcoms artwork is always amazing especially back in the day hell even there animations were insane for the time
There is just so much LOVE in this video. It really brightened my day.
I miss this passion in games today.
I legit was an art nerd for 90s capcom like max. I used to buy the art books from Japan. I'm so happy to see stuff like this from in house capcom and gives me hope in sf6 and more. Please have a good art style
Kinu is my forever favorite illustrator, and influence!
If SF6 turns out to be the game of our dreams then Nakayama should heralded to the level of Iwata, Sakurai and Kojima
We're still talking about Capcom here, some of these people thought Abigail and fucking Dan needed to see the light of day again. I'd *heavily* temper my expectations.
@@melvinshine9841 um people actually wanted Dan back
Nishimura has the most fun ideas for Capcom/SNK fan service illustrations... in every sense of the word.
It is awesome to see history unfold. Good lord some of this art is glorious. Nakayama San really outdid himself.
That Chun Li artwork looks great, and I like how her face was drawn.
There's just something so special and nostalgic about those 90's arcade games. When I played X-Men vs Street Fighter I just couldn't believe my eyes, Ryu shaking hands with Cyclops what the hell is this. Marvel vs Capcom was so awesome, the characters, artwork, music, animations are still 10/10. Megmans taunt when sticks his tongue, my goodness so much personality with these games. Capcom vs SNK 2, still one of the greatest games of all time. Thanks for uploading this Max. ✌😎👍
Man those MvC1 artworks looks so freaking precious
Would be crazy if Nakayama-san released a few unreleased/early drafts of some Capcom bangers. The music that came out of those arcade machines are still unmatched imo
Breh I love concept art of my favorite games
12:58 If you look at the top right, you can see Carlos from RE 3 is drawn in his remake design and not his old one.
Kinu Nishimura's Chun Li style is so perfect
Hello Again Doods. Back again helping this video boost in the algorithm. Shine On!
Great artwork, my favorite video game artist is Kita Senri for her work in Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. But I will also look up some of her old work back in her SNK days. Great art should always be appreciated.
There's a picture I've seen waaaay back in the day probably around the time of hyper fighting possibly around when the 1st SF alpha came out. Of bison sitting on the edge of a bed with 2 girls possibly dolls. In their undies and he's putting his hat on one of their heads and she's smiling. I have yet to ever see or come back across that piece of artwork again. Anyone else ever seen that one.
3:25 RUGAL THO😂
yesssssss i love seeing these types of behind the scenes art concept, i wish i had enough spare cash to buy art collections xD
Punisher stuff makes me wonder if this was the beginning of what was announced one week ago
That was Athena Asamiya with Chun Li in that Kini Nishimura line art for CvS2 at 4:22 and 13:58. The star on the headband was a dead giveaway. The line art pages after with Hikari, Morrigan, Cammy, Mai, and Nakoruru sealed the deal.
How much max appreciated these details in games is seriously why he’s the best at what he does. He’s the reason I stream and put up content in general. Absolutely loved seeing these legendary works of art 🖼. Peace and love y’all
13:21 I am turning that Sakura figure into a meme and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
