For all of u this great vid

Watch the opponent beat Daigo ( ken ) to an inch of his life, then to have Daigo block a super move.
Oh my god, this movie rocks so much. It really captures that feeling of beating your opponent while you're life bar is like zero. God this movie owns.

STFU. Besides the fact that he may not have the means to play the game, this is a video game forum, and making topics like this is exactly the point. If you dont have any interest in the questions/answers, dont bother replying. Simple as that.

That video STILL gives me goosebumps eveytime I see it. One hell of a display of control and technique. (I'm such a dweeb I even have that video on my PSP).
Anyway, I rememer there being two versions of SF in the arcade. One used the joystick and six buttons, and the other used these two big rubber pads (kinda like a hybrid between a drum and a breast :lol ). Anyway the first time I even played SF was on the latter and I thought my arms were goign to fall off. :lol
Yeah, I regret being so harsh when that vid was posted. I'm so used to the SRK forums that I think I caught some of their elitism. Shoo, SHOO!Apharmd Battler said:
And I have that entire match on my computer. It kinda lessens the impact though, cause that parry-win was only the first in a '2 out of 3" fight for 3rd place :lol
Is this intended to scare me? Are we playing an FPS online and you need to type really fast? Seriously, he could have made a post something more to the point of: "Hey, I have never played SF but here is some info. I hear it is no good, what do you guys think." Also, while emulation is "OMG EVIL" he has a damn computer since he is posting from it, he can run Street Fighter on mame. There is a difference between making a thread to talk about something that you want more information on and not doing any kind of information or fact checking at all. It's just damn lazy and you're feeding it.PlayStation Tree said:
Street Fighter one is slow and plodding. It has a terrible pace to it. The Capcom Collection for the PSP has it in it and it exemplifies this. It started an excellent legacy and is pretty funny in retrospect.

I was a kid when it came out but I'll never forget the match where I killed Sagat with a single Dragon Punch. It was awesome! The game had these uber deep voices that sounded like they were speaking in slow motion, and these huge buttons thaty you could attack with major ferocity. Ryu was ugly and Birdie was a white guy.

Retsu
Joe
Mike... Mike may or may not be the boxer from SF2, M(ike) Bison, renamed Balrog in the USA.
Lee
Gen, familiar to the Alpha folk.
Eagle
Adon, who was an incredibly aggressive bitch in SF.
And Sagat, without scar.
Can you tell I have a soft spot for this game?
Someone is missing...
Also, with Mike (Tyson), the guy you fight at Mt. Rushmore, there's a trick. He's hard to beat straight up, so just back all the way up to the corner of the screen and do a low block (hold d, db) and you'll block all his punches. Tricky part is hitting him beforehand so that it doesn't end up in a draw.
The game was really really good at the time... and it gave some of the rules that SF2 and the others followed.
The controls were hard and to throw a fire ball was really something, but it was part of the magic. The characters were really cool and the graphics were awesome. You also had the "bonus stages".
People who don't like it should have play it in arcade before SF2 because of course it's now aged a lot. But I can still remember how excited I was before playing it ><.

Bonus games were dope, albeit easy.
"Ow wiiiiiyt!"
As you can see, Capcom pixel artists were always the shit, even then.

It wasn't lag. Capcom knew the moves were overpowered, so they tossed in a randomizer for "balance".olubode said:

Wow. This game has always been plagued with mis-informed details but this one takes the cake.
Maybe since the game was out before the Internet had these "secret moves," a lot of incorrect crap came about.
Most of you played it after SF2 but for years, SF really pushed the boundaries in graphics, controls (I played found 6 button machines), music, every way that games are measured, but Capcom did this with regularity at the time.

this is 100% FALSE
I don't know if you would call it lag more so the technology for reading joystick "combos" just wasn't there yet hence why you could pull off a perfect hadoken 10 times in a row and only 2 or 3 would actually go

Capcom stated that in an interview ages ago.Grifter said:
ok, read the thread, checked wiki entries. now i ask questions like where is the games like Namco x Capcom and other crossovers like this? What other games like that have not been released outside of japan?
I loved SF1. I used to only play it and R-Type in the arcades.
Some SF1 tips:
- If you wiggle the joystick from forwards to down really fast and mash the light and medium punch buttons (like hyper olympics) you'll do a dragon punch or fireball every 3 or 4 seconds. That was the only way I could win. None of my friends actually knew the d,df,f punch or f,d,df punch combos for the special moves until SF2 came out.
- You only need to get one hit on Mike to win. After you hit him, back off into the corner and crouch-block - he can't hurt you!

news to me.Freshmaker said:
And how I beat mike was to jump to the back of the screen and PRAY for fireballs to come out. If I hit him he usually took the full fireball since he would be jumping to move foreward. If he go to close it would turn into jumping roundhouse time to try and get to the other side of the screen before he got to close. Get to the other side and pray for Hurricane Kicks. Usually worked 80% of the time.
