Street fighter is just soo timeless. 3rd strike is my favorite fighting game of all time
yes yes yes thank you third strike
Even during it's "dark ages" commercially, Capcom was still releasing gems like 3S
Absolutely right timeless! All are great i think my favorites are Alpha 3 and V
Street Fighter 4 was a huge part of my Childhood.
Same
Same.
Sf2 on the snes for me
Same
Huge part ....in my early 20s!🤯🤣
I love Street Fighter! One of my favorite fighting game franchises of all time.
Same!! I can’t wait for Street Fighter 6!!
Props for Yoshinori Ono bringing Street Fighter back.
Revitalising the whole fighting games scene.
Just like SF2 did 17 years earlier.
I can remember skipping school just to go to my local arcade and spend my allowance playing Street Fighter 2. Good Times. That franchise will always have a special place in my heart.
I grew up at just the right time to enjoy Street Fighter II in the arcades. Man, those were the days. It doesn't feel like it was 30 years ago... I used to be a game reviewer back in my college years. I was up for anything, but I always loved fighting games the most. I walked away from it - and the gaming industry as a whole - but the majority of games I _do_ still play are fighting games. I've logged in far more hours of 3rd Strike than I'll ever admit to. Good times.
Street fighter 2 will forever be the defining game of the fighter genre. Part 4 was an amazing release capturing that feel and adding to it.
Actaually Virtua Fighter gave birth to E sport in Japan. With First TV Shows and firsts E sports Stars like Bun bun Maru. 🙂.
"You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance."
That's one of the greatest plot holes in SF history.
@@KenMasters. when you realize that its just a bad translation of dragon fist
In Latinoamérica and especially in Mexico, Street Fighter kept relevant because of the big impact of the arcade VS games: Street Fighter vs X-men, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom and so on.
Don't forget about KOF series I heard you guys are godlike at this game especially Mexico!
My dreams came true when I had full collection of all arcade fighting games on my PC and played it with friends at my house paying no credits
NGL while reading the title I thought this was a company man video
You should've also mentioned hyper fighting and hd remix digital releases bringing back huge interest in the franchise. Both games broke records digitally
Street fighter 4 was my favorite fighting game.
STREET FIGHTER IS SO TIMELESS! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL STREET FIGHTER 6!
I m 40 + and still playing all fighting games in till I die and I ASK my family to write on my grave GAME OVER😂😂😂
Street Fighter Forever!!! I can't tell that how much I was so excited when SF4 is announced. Especially players thought that SF series had been died already.
Yeah!! I can’t wait for Street Fighter 6!! Street fighter still lives!! ✊
I keep my copy of Street Fighter 2:Champion Edition when I got it from Game Xchange in Chicago, around 1997. I still have pretty fond memories, and I still play. 3s, SFV, SSFT.
I love Juri so much, especially being the only Tae Kwon Do practitioner
The Alpha games was Street Fighter at its prime. I can only hope Capcom goes back to this level of how much they care about their games.
When SF4 came out I was 19. I had played SF since I was 4 and always enjoyed the game. I didn’t follow the series very close, and had no idea that it had, had such a long hiatus. I picked up SF4 the day it came out and enjoyed playing it online, which was my first time getting to play other competent players, as all my friends just didn’t seem to get any kind of real skill at it so I would just have totally one sided win, one after another which of course meant no one wanted to play me for more than 1-2 rounds. Anyways love SF!
And Ken was my go to character 😊
"Was"?
What's the matter,
I ain't good enough for ya?
Bwhahahha this comment 👍
Street Fighter will always be my favorite game 😄
The old Super street fighter 2 is the best.
I was expecting this to be a video about how 5 tried its hardest to kill the franchise again after 4 brought fighting games back...
There's a pattern with Capcom franchises.
The amount of money in quarters arcade cabinets used to make is crazy to me. Straight money machines!
I miss those days
SF4 was the revival. It was fantastic and brought a whole new generation of fans.
A well narrated video. Nice one.
it's sad this video doesn't have more views. It's awesome
What is it with Tekken and tossing/dropping family members off of a cliff?
Street Fighter 5 is the No Mans Sky of fighting games: it had a terrible launch with few characters and little single player content but is now one of the best fighting games from this console generation and it has been for quite a while. I feel like the people who still believe Street Fighter 5 is bad played it one week at launch, dropped it and still believe the game is as bad now as it was then.
This is all ofc Capcoms fault for rushing the release of the game, to quote Miyamoto: "A delayed game is eventually good but a rushed game is forever bad". Had they just delayed the game half a year or so it could've been released with some extra characters, a story mode and it would've been viewed much more favorably as a game today.
I got ps4 very late,picked up 5 and love it. I actually like it better than 4 now.Alpha 3 is my favorite.
Alpha 3 and 3rd Strike are my favourites.
Now do KI!
Great stuff.
I played ultra street fighter 4 is still awesome game 👍👍👍
Man for me it was street fighter alpha 3 me and my cousin played that non stop it was my go to fighting game 😊😁🤩
Classic. So many different ways to play each character too. Snk vs Capcom 2 was the same for me.
You guys skipped over Capcom acquiring rights to publish and release X-Men Vs Street Fighter which out performed all other cabinet games in Japan and eventually became a hit in the US. (In 1996) That game didn't perform as well as Mortal Kombat 2 but it was still crazy popular at the arcade back in the day. We had our own local tournaments for all the fighting games back then ran by the arcade owners. It got pretty intense.
Please do Earthbound/Mother 1+2+3 🌎 Timeline.
Daigo finisher give me goosebumps 😊
I'm here way too early.
same here!
You're 1st
I'm still playing street fighter alpha 3 on fightcade.
Street fighter 2 is still the ultimate ; the rest was ok but then because of ppl playing 2 online again we got 4 which was awesome again and continued till 5!
"Dark Ages" of Street Fighter also brought out Marvel Vs Capcom 1 thru 3. MvC is basically a Superhero version of SF.
"Street Fighter will never die"
Meanwhile, EA is waiting at the corner.
STREET FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate that capcom always roids their characters to the point of they are no longer humans and became tinyheads with steroids muscle
True but at least its not as bad as what they have done with Birdie
Yes
you call it the dark age of street fighter, I call it the golden age of dead or alive
by which i mean 2000 to 2010
I actually got into street fighter because mvc2 and the Alpha movie.
You know if you think about it, the 2000s were a dark age for fighting games in general
i feel blessed to have been there through it all, and i feel deeply sorry for the current generation of kids who all they know is street fighter 5, strive and kof15 easy mode, brain dead, kiddie GARBAGE! do yourself a favor and go play REAL fighting games (pre ps4 generation) and you will realize how empty, meaningless and devoid of any substance current fighting games truly are. its not your fault (if youre under the age of 15 you cant know any better). but do it anyway! i promise you will never go back.
What the hell’s up with Ryu’s head in the thumbnail?
Ryu was actually hunching
while walking towards ya.
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike is the best of the series.
It is,
my only pet peeves is that SFIII lacked the entire cast of SFII.
Yup, I'm with that.
Alpha 3 is very good too. Has great roster and has the really fast gameplay,great supers,air guard,and alpha counters
let's not forget that evo moment #37 was born in the dark age, that's a pro that outshadows all cons.
Dark age? Overshadows? Nice one.
Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Tekken will be the surviving fighting games of its generation.... Soul Caliber and Killer Instinct are slowly fading away
What about King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury?
Red Earth was the first CPS III game then SF3🤷🏾♂️ My bad 🤦🏾♂️ you said first SF game😂😂
Street Fighter 6
Coming soon in 2022.
You mean the Rise, Fall, Return, and Epic Fail of Street Fighter.
This is entirely accurate. Street fighter alpha 3 and the standard version of 4 were the return but anything after that is definitely the fail. Too many editions of 4 and the sadly pieced together 5 were just terrible. Where would you say where that second fall is at? All the street fighter 2 versions?
@@madbart214yomother7 SF5 definitely had a rough start but nowadays it’s a genuinely great fighting game lmao. There’s tons of variety and options and is honestly some of the best street fighter has ever been. Tired of people thinking like you when they don’t even know what the game’s actually like and only use things from the initial release to try and degrade it.
@@ItsLynch1 ummmmm....maybe it's cause it should have been good from the release like MOST SF besides 4 were??? Mvc nor any of the marvel nor even alpha with its 3 other iterations can say that cause each alpha was good..on its own. Keep loving dlc, my dude.
@@madbart214yomother7 better late than never
@@JosephFlores-yn4yi keep being sheeple to dlc and patches and you'll keep getting half finished games. That 60 bucks doesn't mean crap anymore but hey, you got money? Why worry?
I swear, I wonder how successful street fighter 1 was, I hardly hear about that game
Games don't just die like that. You could make a new street fighter this year and it would blow up.
You mean franchises yeah but they can get squandered just as easily. Also street fighter 5 didn't hit like it was supposed to. Even though Capcom has no problem milking street fighter for what it's worth year after year, SF 5 didn't hit any marks and is pretty forgotten compared to any of the older versions, like they took 2 steps back. It's still played in tournaments because it's street fighter in name but it's just not the same.
Street fighter legacy never died after alpha 3 it live thru the capcom vs series for a while rode that wave until street fighter 4 tournament still where being for both so how did it died off
SF is the foundation for every fighting in existence.
I was so into the OG street Fighter, now I'm more into MK all other fighting games are unappealing to me
That's cause they don't care about fighting games like they used to. Even mk isn't the same. For 20 years it was hit after hit after hit and now, the interest isn't there like it used to be.
@@madbart214yomother7 yeah, main reason I like MK is because of the guest characters and it's easy to adapt unlike Street fighter or Tekken. And Fatalities & special moves make the MK characters appealing as a player. In Tekken & SF I probably do not care about characters except a select few (Ryu, Jin etc)
@@D.Observer mortal Kombat died after trilogy and came back after mk9 for me. Those 3d ones were terrible and sales numbers would tell the same thing. Mortal Kombat always been user friendly. SF and Tekken always been more technical but lacks all the gore. Maybe its cause the characters respect the art of combat? Idk. Always been that way.
Guest characters were soul caliber's idea before mortal Kombat but soul caliber is wayyyyyy more technical than it looks. Mortal Kombat had the "create a new character just cause we need someone new for the game" and that's why the GameCube and Xbox versions had so many forgettable characters. 9 was the return to form for them.
I like mk because of how detailed it is.
Nice
How many times u gonna change the thumbnail?
This generation going to be Golden Age of SNK fighting games
SNK's golden age was in the 90s.
Not anymore unfortunately.
Imo SNK at its peak produced way better games than Capcom.
@@GORO911 golden days was 90's Yup maybe but capcom stole that fame from them but since KoF become more popular and SNK bringing back all those dead franchises going to make them stand out
Oh yeah
So Sagat is scheduled for SF3 damn wasted opportunity to have the OG SF2 cast to be on SF3's following installments in SF3 sprites & animation except in MUGEN
I saved it guys it was me
Did Vega used to be called Balrog 02:54
Not sure if you are still interested:
In Japan:
The boxer is called M. Bison
The Claw is called Balrog
The Dictator: Vega
They switched it up when ported to the US, due to M. Bison (boxer) being to similar to M(ike) Tyson (real like boxer).
So, we're just gonna skip street fighter five? Ok then
It didn't have as big of an impact as 2 or 4. The launch was terrible. But it got better over the years, it's a good package now.
@@radicalcentrist4990 yeah i knew that, but why not talk about it all was my point. Especially since it was a really big controversy
@Lekzie69 no it's not. 2 and 4 sold a lot better than 5. Street Fighter 2 - 15.5 million copies sold, Street Fighter 4 - 9.1 million copies sold, Street Fighter 5 is only at third place with 5.2 million copies sold.
@@royaljunior2125 it's because Capcom and the shill channels are currupt. They're only gonna remind everyone of their successes, while keeping quiet about the times they screwed us over, while asking for more money for a incomplete game. They're currupt. They're the bad guys, all they do is work in making you forget what they've done so they can just do it again and again.
do one for mortal kombat next
If doomsday was in Mortal Kombat
What about killer instinct, it's very underated
It is. Forgotten about until they came up with that new version for Xbox one.
Ι do miss the old days though. If SFIII had a better roster, it would have fared better... As for SFIV & V, I just don't like their stylistic imagery that much.
What I don't understand is if Street Fighter 3 was so bad why is it regarded as one of the best fighting games ever made now🤔🤷🏿
Unless you're a Street Fighter expert, it wouldn't even matter. The game was bad simply for the fact that it didn't improve on what SFII and SF Alpha had incorporate, instead it throws most of those elements out the window and created its own fight system that while come in handy if truly master at its fullest would be a drag to get use to. Also another reason was because of the lack of returning characters, not having many returning fan favorite fighters in the game means returning player had to get use to the newer ones and remastered all their movesets, some like the new change and some just couldn't get into it. I am one of those that couldn't get into it cause it just doesn't play to my preference but I do like the animations they had for it.
@@VOAN I can understand where you're coming from but the game was ahead of his time when is currently was out it wasn't getting any praise now it's been over decades the game gets so much praise it was a game that was made before its time but I completely understand where you're coming from at the moment of time of playing the game when it first came out I can understand where you feel that it wasn't the same but looking back at it now you can definitely say that it was a game before its time
@@TigerintheMist I'm with this. The alpha series was in general too much for its time. Great fighting game and more people would have liked them if it had more returning characters so they could be lazy and not learn a new style but it is what it is.
It was considered "bad" because it was a bit more technical. 3rd strike's learning curve is incredibly steep. Plus, considering they dropped most of the original cast, people were probably disappointed to see their favorite characters not make the cut. Ryu and Ken themselves barely made it into the first iteration of sf3
@@dragons_hook so the game itself was made way before his time I can understand that players at that time what was not ready ready for the technical side of it and not seeing your favorite characters in the game does suck I love GOUKEN and I wish they was in Street Fighter 5 I don't even play it because he's not in it I've tried numerous of times to play it it sucks not seeing your favorite character
I was so disappointed with the original Street Fighter III. I need to have my girls Chun Li, and/or Cammy. Mostly Chun Li though. I hope someday we learn what became of Cammy after SFV.
I hope Metroid Prime 4 can save the Metroid franchise.
U forgot street fighter x Tekken
Hello
Skipped the Alpha series hmm? Fair enough
I didn't know street fighter failed because Capcom always makes it
Du video abot arik history
Yes we did street fighter 4 right because you royal screwed up with 5 you fixed a few years after it came out and had pissed a ton of people off.
Even though I like the character I never got into street fighter because of the controls it might be too arcade like for me or something but the controls were always difficult to me that's why I play Tekken
funny how you skipped out on the failure of SFV :/
Wait what about 5
They didn't count it maybe since its only only playstation 4 n ps5
@@bigt91764 make since
All street fighter game are amazing awesome ever. I absolutely liked all the 90's Game are definitely great ever. I absolutely liked the graphics is really incredible and I really love the character in this video game is very cool ever. I think I really like the music in the video game street fighter game are still the best game in the world. I really like it alot it's really fascinating and extraordinary game ever very unique ever nice
Only SF0, SF2, SF3, SF4 and SF5 are good. SF1, SF EX, and SF the Movie the Game were terrible.
@@VOAN wow I really can't believe the street fighter r terrible. I thought it was definitely awesome game I guess not thx for telling me siam
Sf1 - derp.
Sf2 - now we're talking
Sf3 - whatever, just a random game with SF cameos and SF logo slapped on it
SfAlpha - finally a proper 2d SF
Sf ex - wtf is this???
Sf4 - finally Sf2 again, but in 2.5
Sf5 - *slowly slides outside the screen*
I just hope Sf6 would continue the "at least every other SF game doesn't suck" trend
You forgot Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight which wasn't even a fighting game despite made by Capcom.
MvC - Street Fighter, but better.
Mvc 1 and 2, X-Men vs SF, marvel super heroes vs SF, alpha 2 and 3, , Capcom vs snk and the sequel. They had hits back to back to back but we all forget that because the main line had a hiccup when Capcom was tryin to be "edgy" with all that 3d mess.
Lmao I know you ain’t diss SF3 like that. The only reason it didn’t sell well was because of the character roster and the fact that it was 2D. It’s a technical marvel and still holds up as one of the best fighting games ever, SF3 3rd strike that is.
SF5 is also a great game contrary to popular belief. The only reason people complain about it are problems they had like 4 years ago lol. It’s a great fighting game with tons of variety and I’m tired of people who don’t even know what the gameplay or technical design is like trying to critique it
was it ever saved ma guy still gets out sold by tekken and mk
The only reason streetfighter became popular again is Negan
early gang ayyyy
All those games are lame. They all stayed the same. The only one that changed for the better is Mortal kombat. That's why they have a 2021 movie. KOF, street fighter, tekken, all need to change some how. Maybe then they will get a decent movie
Have you played more than 1 mortal Kombat or you just play the new one because mortal Kombat itself was stagnant when it switched over to 3d combat. You forget deadly alliance, deception, and Armageddon? All those games are terrible in fighting sense so they switched back with mk9 and then they came back to only flounder the story with all this timeline mess. SF learned after doing 1 3d game and stopped and went on a roll for years until sf3 (arguably) and 4 had hiccups too. Tekken has always been relevant till recently. Kof never changed but has always been popular (somehow)You like 5 years old or something cause this all happened within about 10-15 years. Even the SF movie was dated for a 90s movie and people liked it. Mortal Kombat you can say the same for and even that movie is better than the new one. Bruh you need to learn your history before you go talking about what happened 15 mins ago. Just saying.
Lmao I know you didn’t use a mediocre movie as a reason for why MK is a better game
@@ItsLynch1 I'm laughing so hard!
Without evo moment 37, there would be no e-sport PERIOD. Fortnite players should be thanking then FGC with every bone in their body
That movie was so bad it was good
Du video bot fighting layer history
I dont think this game is popular these days. It got out shadowed by other franchizes.
They need to do better
You forgot the original street fighters
Which sucks, every Street Fighter games before SFII sucks. This includes both SF1 and SF 2010: The Final Fight.
@@VOAN it didn't suck it was a way better kung fu kinda game without the kicking cheat
Saved 😂😂 it ain't saved its done and it's doomed
Bro you are 12
