WEBVTT - Episode 32: Street Fighter 0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:14.240 Yea, hello, welcome to Nottificent. We're done with spooked Ober. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.439 It's always spooking in my heart and it's always spooking 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.200 in your heart. I'm haunted. Oh yeah, you you. You 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.560 keep saying that and I'm like, oh, you know, you 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.319 should come hang out with me after hours because I 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:33.320 don't want that. I was like, m m yeah, very haunted. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.519 Um today, Oh I'm Danny Fernandez. Sitting across from me, 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.120 is iffy. Why what are we culture kings waiting into? 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.640 Like three hours into the episode before we introduce her. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.280 Right by the way, I forgot. We're covering the Premier 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.760 Fighting Game. Yeah, the Ultimate Fighting Game, the premier Fighting game, 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.280 not the Ultimate Fighter Championship. I guess that's what UFC 0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:01.520 stands for. Ultimate Fighting Championship. Yeah. Uh, the Ultimate Fighting Game, 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.080 the game that is basically the staple. To be honest, 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.640 it's pretty exciting to talk about. We're talking about street 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:17.200 Fighter street Fighter. That's actually the crossfire. Definitely wasn't street Fighter. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.720 You'll get caught up in the Street Fighter. Yeah, street 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:26.880 Fighter it should be, though it should be commercial had 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:32.000 way too much soul, way too much soul. If he 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.080 did you know that our good friend Kyle A. Bear 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.319 is the voice of re You. Yeah, yeah, he said 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.000 it on the episode he was here. So if you 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.080 didn't know that, and did you know that it's pronounced 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:48.440 re you, it is. And yeah, remember that long run 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.920 about how I was the elitist weep? Yeah, I knew 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.160 it was you. Yeah. Um we call it and die 0:01:55.560 --> 0:02:02.040 where we're from? Wow wow if um, do you remember 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:07.280 the first time you played street Fighter? Oh? Man, I do. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.919 I think the first time has to be uh So 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.880 my uncle, which in true Nigerian fashion means one of 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.280 my dad's friends who was really close with uh I 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.160 would go over his house and he had three sons 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.600 and they had street Fighter on the Sega Genesis and 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.840 they had one joystick and then the rest was the 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.600 Genesis controller, which, if you remember, the Genesis controller had 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:40.840 a directional pad, start select, and like three buttons and 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.799 then um, if you had the joystick, it had way 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.720 more than that. So the trick was with the with 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.920 the deep pad, you had to like hit the I 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.720 think it had bumpers on it and you had to 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.520 hit the bumpers and hit the buttons for other buttons 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.000 to trigger. Basically what I'm trying to say is uh. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.239 It was way harder to use the controller than the joystick, 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.040 and we were constantly fighting over who gets to use one. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.040 But that was my earliest experience with street Fighter. I 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.600 think my earliest experience was actually playing street Fighter too, 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.160 which is most people's are not most people, but I 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.639 feel like it's pretty yeah. I mean, street Fighter one 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.519 is like a good memory when when you say street 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.000 Fire you are pretty much talking about two so on 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.840 and so forth. No one's ever liked, let's pop in 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.080 that first one. I mean, I bet there are some 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.880 street Fighter one heads. Those people are insane people. If 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:42.800 anyone ever retrovinted I like the original. If anyone says that, 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.200 they will be laughed out of the arcade. So where 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:51.200 did street Fighter come from? That's a very good question. Well, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.520 street Fire came from a Takashi nishi Yama, not Takashi 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.120 six nine. I wonder if he had any reference to this. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.480 Probably not. I don't think he's that cultured at all. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.000 But he's sometimes credited as Piston Takashi and is. He's 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.560 a Japanese video game designer, director, and producer, and he 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.480 worked for irim, Capcom and S and K before he 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.359 ended up finding his own company, Dimps, which that's actually 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.040 a name I've heard before. He started his career at 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.279 I RIM, where he developed early arcade games such as 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:28.719 like Moon Patrol and Beat him Up in Kung Fu Master, 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.040 which is a great entry because then at Capcom he 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.640 ended up making Street Fighter, the fighting game, and he 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.040 also worked at S and K where he created Fatal 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.240 Fury and he worked on the Art of Fighting and 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.400 King of Fighters as well as the running gun shooter 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.320 Metal sluv All games. I really loved. That's super exciting, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.720 and it is interesting that he went on to from 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.760 Street Fight to Fatal Fury because they have similar systems, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.320 but now they kind of separate there there they went 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.400 their own way. That's so cool. Yeah. I actually I'm 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.080 working on a video game that's similar to those where 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.000 I got to create my own character, and uh, that'll 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.920 come out in so excited. Yeah, I've got some more 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.760 goodies to spill throughout this, but yeah. So Street Fighter 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.760 is a fighting video game franchise developed and published by 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:21.279 Capcom and serves as a company's flagships series. The first 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:26.360 game in the series was released in nineteen seven. Since then, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.240 five Other Man, that was your chance if that was 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.880 a year before we were born, you're not going to 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:42.960 oh no, did people give you two? Okay, okay, if 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.040 we I'll just look over at you and wink and 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.840 you'll know. Since then, five other main series games, as 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.520 well as various spinoffs and crossovers, so many something that 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.880 didn't even look like there was like a Jeweled one. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.320 I don't know if you remember that one, but it 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.320 didn't even have the same animation or style at all. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.880 So Street Fighter two is credited with establishing many of 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.479 the conventions of the one on one fighting genre. The 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.800 game's playable characters originate from different countries around the world, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.640 each with a unique fighting style. Yeah. Uh, and and 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.040 that is true. I mean many fighting games. When you 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.080 remember growing up, when you play games like Fatal Fury 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.440 or Mortal Kombat, if you wanted to do a technique, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.680 people would go, oh, just do the how do you can? 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.599 Just do the how do can? Because you knew it 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.520 was a quarter circle turned forward plus a or B 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.440 or whatever button. It just became commonplace. And that's how 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.680 you know something has been made a staple, just kind 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.800 of how like every petroleum jelly is called vassoline, or 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.839 every bandage is called band aid. Like you you've become 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:53.000 the golden standard of the fighting game and uh it. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.440 But before that, it all started with Street Fighter, which 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.719 was which debuted in arcades and have been one year 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.320 before we were born. In this game, the player takes 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.599 control of the martial artists Reu, who competes in a 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.960 worldwide martial arts tournament spanning five countries and ten opponents, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.240 and a second player can join in at any time 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.120 and take control of Reuse American rival Ken, like the 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.880 most American. I love it Ken, But what was crazy 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.320 was it wasn't as dynamic as Street Fighter two. It 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.000 was very basic, very dumbed down. It really if you 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.480 look at one, you'd be surprised that it has anything 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.480 to do with Street Fighter two. It would. They did 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.600 a huge overhaul for the next game. Yeah, So he 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.680 had three special attacks. The player can perform three types 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.240 of punch and kick attacks, each variant speed and strength. Haducan, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.520 which you said probably most popular, yea. Also the shore 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.280 you can and then the this one. I'm not as 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.840 familiar with Skimpyaku or the helicopter kick. The helicopter kick 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.520 no one in the history of people I've played Street 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.440 Fight with is called it the tatsu maki simpayaku. They 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.920 always say, I'll do the helicopter kick, and the haw 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.680 ducan is the fireball that everyone knows. The shore you 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.680 can is the flaming upper cut or regular right sometimes, 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.720 And like I said, the helicopter kick, which if I 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.360 remember correctly, how ducan is the quarter to circle forward 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.880 plus punch. The tatsumaku simpaku is the quarter circle back 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.720 and the kick, and the shore you can is almost 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.840 a Z motion like a forward down in the corner 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:37.000 down back corner. It basically you make a Z motion 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.240 with your joystick and hit punch. Yeah. So, Street Fighter 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:45.440 has remained Capcom's second biggest franchise behind Resident Evil, and 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.480 it's currently Capcom's third best selling software franchise behind Resident 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.880 Evil and Monster Hunter. It's another one that you like 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.760 like Monster is my favorite game franchise. Which is funny 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:01.559 because before we even get into this, these three games 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.840 that were mentioned all fall victim to why there's thirty 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.520 different Street Fighter games but only five main arc games 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.560 Capcom is. I feel like their company motto is if 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.560 it ain't broke, don't fix it, Just add some stuff 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.160 to it because a lot of their games will have 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:27.560 multiple versions, like what Nintendo is two consoles, Capcom is 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.400 to video games. Uh And if you're unaware, Nintendo likes 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:36.360 to make new, flashy versions of their consoles that would 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.080 make you feel dumb for purchasing the previous version when 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.800 they dropped the DS or over even before that. So 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.840 you had the game Boy, then you had the game 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.480 Boy Pocket, which was a beautiful change because the game 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.800 Boy was a giant brick. And then you had the 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.600 game Boy Pocket. Then they had the Game Boy Color, 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.760 but that one was an actual minor advancement because you 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.599 were able to get color in your games with different cartridges, 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.280 but they still able to play the older games and 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.160 from the game Boy Color, if I remember correctly, we 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.160 eventually led to the Gameway Advance, and the Game Boy 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.760 Advance was this nice shape, um like, it was like 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.319 almost like a smiley face. But I like the aesthetic 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.680 look of the game Boy Advance, but it didn't have 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.400 backlight and such. So then that eventually led to the 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.120 Game Boy sp which would flip and then also had 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.880 a light, but the light honestly was trash. Then when 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.199 you had the uh S piece somewhere along there there 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.199 was the Gameway Advance Mini, and then we had the DS, 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.200 then the d S had the d S, I had 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.559 the d S x L, and you can see and 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.080 so on and so forth. Capcom is the same, and 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.720 you will see after the launch of Street Fighter two 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.160 when they picked that up. But I wanted to kick 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.280 that off early because you mentioned Monster Hunter, and Monster 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.079 Hunter has had multiple iterations, and if you're following the series, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.000 you know when you're being served the same dish, because, 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.480 for example, the Switch just got Monster Hunter. I think 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.680 it's Generations Ultimate, which was actually Monster Hunters Double Cross, 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.319 which was released in Japan, which was Monster Hunters Generation, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.600 which were released in on the three D S. So 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.800 it's really just a part of a three D S 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.960 game with a new fancy name that makes you forget 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.520 that fact. That's how I feel about Apple Products. If yeah, 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.000 remember how for the past few weeks we brought in 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.800 all these experts and we're like, well, we're gonna talk 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.440 guess guess who's going to talk way too much about this. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.080 This is one of my one of the things that 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.920 I am a super fan boy about. Um Street Fighters 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.280 one of those games we're all talking about Street Fight 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.760 before even going into it. But Street Fighters one of 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.640 those games that I wish I could be good at, 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.120 Like I wish I was that dude. Yeah, but I 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.640 feel like a lot of these fighting games are set 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.679 up so that beginner or you know, more novice players 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.480 can play. Oh yeah, but a lot of the fighting moves, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.520 they make it easier. And I feel like when dragon 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.280 Ball Fights came out, because it's I mean basically the 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.760 same thing. It's largely based off of this fighting style. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.640 They've made it so that you can compete. I mean, 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.400 obviously when you see professional level players, it's different, but 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.560 they have made these games easier for more novice or 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.880 casual players. Oh yeah, I feel like, uh like it. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.240 That cliff though, from like when you're playing with your 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.640 homies to stepping anywhere near a tournament is so you 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.800 want to be in a tournament. I've competed in two tournaments. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.040 Uh one. I compete at one in a game stop 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:38.880 local tournament when Street Fighter four came out, and uh, 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.480 I remember using I brought my game stick. I was 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.480 so amped up on my business the year. Is that normal? 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.439 Do you bring your bring your own game stick? Because 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:52.080 because some people will build custom one. So I come in. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.959 I'm ready, I'm amped up, I'm ready to go. I 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.040 progressed the first round and then I get bodied second 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.440 boom on. So that's the second. And then the second 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.800 time I did a fighting game tournament was at E 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.640 three at this marijuana after party, and then they had 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.240 the stone Gamer street Fighter Tournament, and I took that 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.640 to mean that it was like you you had to 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.480 be stoned, you're a stoned gamer. Uh fighting tournament. So 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.240 I went and they had like these like five dollar dabs, 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.080 and I was like, all right, cool, let me play 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.160 by the tournament's rules. Get two blitz. I don't want 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.000 to be a cheater. You know what they meant is 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.480 stone Gamer is the brand, and this is a very 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.680 real fighting tournament. Still progressed to the first round, which 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.040 if I was inebriated and still got it. But then 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.920 it was a close second match, but he barely beat 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.079 me out. But they were playing uh street Fighter two 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.439 tournament edition. They weren't playing like the newest street Fighter. Okay, yeah, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.040 I was gonna say. I competed in the Dragon Ball 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.000 Fighters tournament for with l a Gaming Society, which Chris 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.280 for Smith Bryan and Cann's backman came on to talk 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:07.880 about in our lgbt Q episode, and Um, yeah, I 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.520 beat the first round because I'm a casual gamer, I 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.439 would say, and I advanced to the second round and 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:19.080 then and then lost. I will say, Uh, dragonball fighters, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.920 these controls are way more intuitive than street fighters because 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.840 their controls that you're able to do special abilities right. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:30.360 But for sure fighters, you're doing just finger gymnastics. And 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:31.960 that's why I think I'll never be good at it 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.440 because I got dumb fingers. I can't play the guitar 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.920 dumb fingers. That's why I stick to FPS s because 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.720 at least I can kind of my wrist is strong. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.120 I've trained it very well. If I wanted to say, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.880 speaking of getting high, I don't know if you knew, 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.200 but l A comic con was this past weekend and 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.040 I was a little bit stressed out and Eric Vale, 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.080 who's a voice of Future Trunks uh and dragon ball 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.960 Z gave me an edible and he is he is 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.080 bigger than me. Um, and I didn't look at it 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.920 and I got way too high and it ruined my life. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.680 For two or four hours. I lost track of time. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.640 But let's be like you. You were lucky you didn't 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.920 get a call from me, because Danielle Radford did, and 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.600 so did like three other comedians who I needed to 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.920 talk to to call me down because it was it 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.480 was too scary. Um gosh. Check, Hey, this is the 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.480 p s A. When you get an edible, check what 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.480 dosage it is. Don't be dumb like me and just 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.040 put it under the tongue that if anything, you know, 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.920 November six is literally today. Uh, you know, lots of 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.280 legislation is rolling out to legalize marijuana and your respective states. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:42.280 We can give you us the the weed vets in California, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.360 can give you any piece of advice. Uh check that 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.880 you don't want to ruin your life for two to 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.880 four hours. Uh well, technically I was high. The next 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.680 day I had to work out with my personal trainer, 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.040 and I'm just proud of myself for going in anyway. 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.360 Street Fighter to the World Warrior was released in It 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.120 was the first true sequel to the original Street Fighter. 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.920 It was one of the earliest arcade games from Capcom 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.760 CP system hardware, which was designed by a. Kira Nishitani 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.280 and Akira Yasuda, who were also responsible for Final Fight 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:19.200 and Forgotten Worlds to other games. Street Fighter two is 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.160 the first one on one fighting game to give players 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.760 a choice from a variety of player characters with different moves. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.240 Kind of fascinating that that is so common nowadays, but 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.000 they were the first ones to do it. I mean, 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.600 it really was ahead of its time because while it 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.560 looked kind of broke down when I when I was roasting, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.520 it did have pretty intuitive controls, but it really was 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.200 and they definitely a lot of things that kind of 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.760 changed the game, like, for example, so one of the 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.320 cool things which Street Fighter two was actually it was 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.040 kind of the I wouldn't say the origin of the 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.800 combo but definitely the origin of the modern combo use 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.680 because uh, in Street Fighter two, players eventually learned that 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.240 they could combine several attacks that left no time for 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.000 the computer to actually recover if they time them correctly. 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:15.399 And it actually was an accident, it wasn't an intended Actually, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.560 lead producer Nori taka Funa Mesu actually noticed that extra 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.080 strikes were possible during a bug check on the car 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.920 smashing bonus stage, which, if you didn't know, Street Fire 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.639 two had a bonus stage where you just got to 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.119 beat up a car, which was really tight, but he 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.439 thought that the timing required was way too difficult to 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.280 make it a useful game feature, so he left it 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.560 in as a hidden one, which might make this the 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:43.640 origin of It's not a bug, It's a feature the 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:48.840 earliest renditions of that UM which, once again, since we're 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.679 trying to loop everyone in, if you're unaware of game memes, 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.240 it's not a bug as a feature is a kind 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.919 of meme that you make for uh A, usually a 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:04.920 game past that has way too many bugs and and 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.080 and you're like, why why I paid for this um? 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.359 If he I was thinking that we could get into 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:16.400 some of the big key fighters right after the break. Okay, 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:28.119 let's do that, and we're back and we're going to 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.200 start it off with the main man. Yeah o g 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.520 the one and only you. Yeah you is is fun, 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.679 mostly because he is a He is probably one of 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:44.359 the strongest well balanced characters in the game. Let me 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.679 see what his current tier is. Oh my gosh, I 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.040 have to explain tearless to some people. I wanted to 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.159 say that he's often compared like, you know, I was 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.880 looking up his character as far as his personality, and 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.280 he is compared to your other favorite dude, Goku as 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.840 well as Luke be from One Piece um as far 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.800 as they're like personalities slash like, yeah, especially Goku being 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.080 the main protagonists. Yeah. So what I meant by tier 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.760 list is fighting games will always have a tier list, 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:19.080 which is a list that of the strongest characters to 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.760 the week this and sometimes they'll even be broken up 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.800 into S tier, A tier, B tier tier. I can't 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:29.560 say that that's my first time here as my first 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.320 time actually slipping up on the cast. You, on the 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:38.160 other hand, oh, I often. But basically right now, first 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:42.120 Street Fighter five O this is new U is currently 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:46.239 ranked thirty, which would make no, this isn't ranked, this 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.000 isn't ranked. Well, while you do that, I'm going to 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.040 explain for you a little bit. Uh so. Yeah, So 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.720 he premiered in in the original Street Fighter. He is 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.000 the lead character of the game, I would say, along 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:01.800 with his best friend Ken Masters uh and for other 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.840 games seem to show him highly focused on his training, 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.040 aiming to become the strongest he can. However, his powers 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.720 also attract several criminals who want to use him for 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.200 their plans, such as m Bison, who's another character will 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.080 get into UH in some games have an alternative evil 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.600 reu form UH. And that was in a Street Fighter 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:25.720 Alpha three. Okay, so I did a lot of search. Yeah, yeah, 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.600 I want to talk about this because I'm gonna explain 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:30.760 to your list. I'm gonna explain the problems I had, 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.639 and I'm gonna explain what happened. So tier lists are 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.800 usually in fighting games. They'll rank the characters from S 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.199 all the way down to see as to just who 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.960 is the best in the game. That tends to be controversial, 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.560 reasoning being because in the right hands, if a Nube 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.920 is using an S tire and someone like Sonic Fox, 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:52.920 who is like the best player in the world, is 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.880 using a C tier, they're probably going to beat the 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.760 S tier player. It'll be harder, but it's good. So 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.879 the new chart they have is like a freaking um 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.159 what what is it called? Would be called an X 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.760 graph I never did well in Man where it's like, 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.600 yeah that you do an x Y graph where on 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:18.000 the farthest uh left is has fault on, the farthest 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:22.320 right is well rounded, the bottom is low tier, the 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:27.639 top is top tier. So so like it's like really 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.880 hard to look at, but I did find the letter 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:36.760 grade and currently based on this, uh we have Yeah, 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.560 re You is bat here, which is I mean, that's 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:43.200 usually his tear. I'm not mad at b Tire because 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:48.000 he's a well rounded character who everyone's kind of can 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.959 get pretty far with him. But I imagine as you 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.840 progress and get deeper into the game and fighting like 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.720 stronger players, a lot of the tricks that you would 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:02.760 use to be good with re you are Are wouldn't work. No. Currently, 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.640 re You was at the bottom of the teer list, 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:13.040 so interesting. Yeah, but I digress. I've spent more. I'm 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.240 glad you explained. I'm glad that you explained the tear 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.680 list to everyone. I did want to say that he 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:20.800 re You also appears in a lot of the crossover 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.480 games that Capcom has done, such as Marvel Versus Capcom, 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:27.639 which is like this huge game, um Project x Zone, 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.479 and Super Smash Brothers. You never really picked him though, 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:35.239 I have. Oh yeah, I am sorry. I was going 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.719 to say, I'm a Kirby person through and through. You know, Kirby, 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.280 you can suck them up and you can take on there. No, listen, 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.679 you can everyone fights with me. You can suck up 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.720 that person take on their powers. You can take on 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.600 anyone's powers, and if you're an awful person, you can 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:50.720 suck them up and walk walk off the cliff, which 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.040 is what I love. I mean, if you have more 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.720 stock than him, that's like the baller move to do um. Yeah, 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.520 re you. What was unique about his entry into Smash Bros. 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.840 Is uh, normally because Smash Bro spans mini games, even 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.680 Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy set, the top tier Final 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:12.960 Fantasy was was put into the game. And usually you 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:16.280 have the Smash controls, which is, you know, your smash 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:20.800 button and the other one is just attack. Right looking 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.440 at Dan who knows spans the buttons and smash. One 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:29.359 is smash and the other is attack. Yes, there's a 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.520 there's a basic attack of a smash take Okay, yeah, 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.920 so Texically there's two buttons for smash. You can either 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.600 be direction or see stick in a direction. Okay, well, 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:42.520 no one's doing all that. Okay whatever. You might be good, 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.879 I'm not. But so you have your smashing, your basic attack. 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.119 Where were you? Though? He kept his traditional street fighter 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:53.639
