KEN Speedrun NEW World Record Hardest Difficulty  

Do you have a video commentary of this, explaining why you do certain things and what your thinking as you did these inputs? That would be incredible. Thanks for sharing!

@@Double-X2-Points I don't have a video commentary of it, sorry. I'm not sure if people would actually care for anything like that. Some probably would, but the vast majority, probably not. I'll gladly answer any questions you may have and tell you what my approach was in any situation, so feel free to ask anything you'd like.

*Kudo's for using original & correct name for bosses!* ⭐️

I have question plz tell me the website from where you have downloaded this mame game from.Thanks🥰

@@hanzalanaeem4126 You can download the emulator from here: github.com/mahlemiut/wolfmame And the ROM for the game, just search on google for: "sf2hfj rom" or "sf2hf rom" (I cannot post links for ROMs here, sorry).

I sense this player likes the shoryuken. I deduced this after careful analysis of the video

Hella dumb.

SURE YOU CAN 🗣️

The car? Look at the flaming drums, they got demolished.

The car must defeat Sheng Long first

Imagine what he’d do to a Tesla today😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

"Ohhhhh my Go-o-o-o-od!"

Oh yeah, we've all been on the receiving end of the cheat machine, many times. It always feels good to dish out some payback ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!

This had me laughing for 5 minutes straight.

I know what you mean, I've been there as well. We all gotta start somewhere. It gets easier and easier the more you play and I just played A LOT. Thanks for watching and commenting!

About 30 years ago I completed SF2: the world warrior on SNES with Chun Li on the hardest setting. Was SO proud lol, it wasn't easy. Didn't know any combos or anything like that either. And had a massive crush on her 'cause I was young but well, I kinda still do lol (I play SFV and main Sakura ATM, loved her fighting style since the Alpha games, most fun of all the shotos, she's super enthusiastic and cool)

@@deviouxFGChey you should do speed runs with all the fighters. If you do I’m new to you and do t know.

Same kind of thing for me. 4 months seeing if i could finish it without losing a single round while playing casually.

@@petegeralis7076 I don't have the time do that, unfortunately. I really like Chun Li, Zangief, Guile, Vega, Sagat and Bison but I'm average with them and I prefer to do rather high-level speedruns using the characters I'm good with (Ken/Ryu).

I learned it could be done very late (after 1 year of playing sf2 turbo) and it completely changed my experience with the game. Never played any other character than ken after that. Note that I found the timing very tight and often did the simpler version with just crouching HP DP without the jump in

SF2 is something special, for sure. Only good memories related to it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I love when they barf when you hit them hard enough, and when they can double barf when you land a two hit fierce, like dhalsims headbutt 😂

Yeah. The sound effects were great. Much better than in sf2ce. You could feel the power.After this, in ssf2, the effects just got gay.

@@OliveiraX so agree with you, killed all the vibe, i never play ssf2 mostly because of that

​@@OliveiraXthere's no need to use the word "gay" like that. I'm not gay, but there's nothing wrong with being gay. And a gay guy saved my life once (he's also a close friend and fellow fighting game player)

It's a very good combo, indeed, one of the best in the entire game. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I do like the 'jump in strong punch, standing strong, light dragon punch (looks better and doesn't leave you hanging) or jump in strong punch, medium crouched kick into light dragon punch. (Medium knee into light dragon is a good look too)

Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Much appreciated!

Same here, and I totally agree. Fabulous!

Facts

I agree 💯💯💯I remember being so obsessed with this game as a kid, I now have the 1up arcade at home I curse everytime I play someone online 🤣🤣🤣🤣awesome memories and I wouldn't want to play you in a tournament, you'll just piss me the F off 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yea, I remember the struggles, good times tho, good times. Thanks for watching and commenting!

SF2 is the greatest fighting game ever. I prefer the older, slower version though.

@@plpmanden Yeah I prefer the slower version too. Made it feel more tactical

Yes, sir, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Especially when it’s a fierce into fierce dragon punch and you hear three of them in a row quickly

You people have to stop blaming cars for stuff like this. Your using fierce punch waaaaay to often and burning your knuckles out.

Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated!

Oh yeah! Back in the day we used to call that "the square combo" 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting!

WE USED TO CALL IT THE QUAD 😂 =)

Yea, but I could have done it a bit better, got a bit unlucky there. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That would have been a very rare sight back in the day. We would try to maximize the gameplay time of every coin as much as possible :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

And the arcade game downright cheats. Blanka laid one finger on him and it cost him 1/3 of his like bar.

@@OliveiraX Oh the CPU is legit programmed to cheat. And in a way it kind of makes sense. If it wouldn't cheat, then people would quickly figure out ways to beat it consistently, which means the arcade places would lose lots of money. You can still beat it consistently, but not if you're an average player, you'll need to put in a lot of quarters to get there ;)

60 cents? I remember when this was a quarter or 2 nickels at the nickel arcade

They deserve it, indeed ;) Thank you for watching and commenting!

Oh I know that feeling. Many times I wanted to smack the arcade machine and the only thing holding me back was knowing I'd get permabanned if I did ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sai-kyou-crrruSshhh-ahhh

Thank you for the support, much appreciated!

It's... Super hard

It tooks me like 40 try to beat Sagat on my Genesis at every run, for months

@@damienlg4281 I'll have you know that the arcade version on the hardest setting is insanely harder than the Genesis version on the hardest setting, the CPU cheats a lot

Yes, sir, good eye. There's a different strategy for the CPU on every fight and pretty much everything you see is intentional, indeed. I did make some mistakes as well, but what can you do ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated!

Yeah, that's not how to beat those..

Sure, the only part that make sense in a speedrun is to quickly destroy the last barrels...like he did it.

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Oh nice! It's a pretty reliable strat, yea. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yeah, same. It was super gratifying to see that my instinct to jump straight up and kick on Zangief is what the pros do to. Just way better lol. GG.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Good times, good times. Hitting the triple combo always felt special. I'm pretty bad with Guile. I can play him cheesy in 1v1, but not fast vs the CPU :) Not sure if it would be faster than Ken though. Ken just destroys everybody. Cheers for watching and commenting!

You can always count on Sagat to be a prick 😉 Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you, much appreciated. I have many hours on SF2, it was very important for me as a kid to get good at the game, so I played A LOT :) Cheers for watching and commenting!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes, it's a very good, classic combo. It requires a lot of repetition for the execution, even I still fail it every now and then. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I played only in arcades. Nobody had console here, it was a luxury item back then :) Chun is a very good character, especially if you can master her, can be very problematic. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@deviouxFGC I didn't have SNES either. Too expensive in my country. But we used t have stores that we could play by the hour and that was my go to point after school almost everyday lol.

@@felipeqfdesouza Oh I know what you mean exactly. We had those stores as well where you could play on Playstation by the hour, but that was too expensive for me :) I could get like 15 coins at the arcade and play all day for the price of one hour on the Playstation. Good times, good memories!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Well, he can definitely be a pain in the ass, but he has some predictable patterns. Also keep in mind that what you see here is just one successful attempt. What you don't see is like a thousand failed attempts ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!

There are two kind of gamers in the world: the ones that have beaten Sagat and the others.

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you! I have a shitload of hours on SF2. Your inputs will become more and more clean the more you play. They were definitely sloppy when I first started playing back in the day ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!

It's heavy punch. Versus the CPU it's pretty much a heavy button jump in all the time. Thank you for watching and commenting!

It is possible with any kind of controller, especially gamepad, any kind of gamepad. It is possible even with a keyboard. You just have to be able to execute moves and combos correctly. Playing A LOT is what is most important, not the controller. Choose whatever controller you like and whatever controller you can execute moves and combos with. I have at least 20k hours on SF2 and I prefer arcade stick, but if you play 20k hours on keyboard, you will be very good on keyboard and if you play 20k hours on gamepad, you will be very good on gamepad. You can be very good even with 2-3k hours, every person is different, some people learn faster than others, some people are more talented than others, but the key to success is playing A LOT, with whatever controller you can execute moves and combos.

Thanks for watching and commenting ;)

I'm not sure what you mean by "one button short keys". I pretty much do the "standard" full motion every time, with some variations here and there, depending on the situation. For example, I might do down-forward > down or down-back > down-forward (which is also a valid DP motion). Or forward > down > down-forward (another valid DP motion).

Sorry to disappoint, but at the moment I think I'm done with SF2. If any of my runs get beat, I might try to reclaim them, but otherwise I will most likely be playing SF6 for quite a while, I like it too much and it's a big challenge for me to try and become skilled in that game. Thanks for watching and for the support!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

That's good! And very true. I like it :)

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

I know what you mean, but only MAME is accepted on speedrun.com for Arcade. There is a separate category for 30th Anniversary, but it has only one guy on the leaderboard. That doesn't really interest me. I'm pretty sure I could beat the 13m19s time on 30th, but meh, maybe some day I'll do it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

I don't think it's possible to lower the time that much, maybe like a 7m10s would be the most you can squeeze out of it. I am using this tool for the fightstick overlay: obsproject.com/forum/resources/display-fightstick-motions.344/ - it might be a bit tricky to set up, but let me know if you need any help I'll we'll try to get it sorted. This video might also be helpful - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4e4_lmy2ph4.html It's awesome if you're gonna have an arcade cab! I hope it'll be much fun and good luck on the record runs! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

That's funny. The input overlay is on the screen and I am using a regular fightstick, Qanba Obsidian v1. If you are not capable of seeing on the fightstick overlay with your own eyes how I am inputting the combos, then feel free to believe anything you want.

The arcade version is harder than the snes version. It's designed to take your quarters. The snes version is designed for home entertaiment. There are many similarities overall, but in general, arcade is harder. The CPU will block or counter a lot more if you just do random stuff, but it's not going to block "everything". If you know its patterns and you know the scenarios, you can force and generate situations where it won't block. I know its patterns very well and I know pretty much all the scenarios. I have at least 20k hours or gameplay time on SF2. Also, this speedrun has been verified and approved on speedrun.com by knowledgeable admins. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Good memories! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Ah I guess you've played on console, where you have the bricks bonus stage. On arcade cabinets there's this flaming barrels bonus stage, which is much cooler ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@deviouxFGC thanks for the video. Must’ve taken at least a couple of attempts. Flaming barrels are far cooler. And yes, sadly I my town didn’t have much arcade action when I had money. Or comic shops. But before that oh sure. So it’s cool to see something in one of my obsessions that I’d never seen before. On vacation I did get to play xmen vs capcom and got to the boss on one quarter. Years later our town had a semi broken marvel vs capcom cabinet. And years after that when I was in art school in the city the pizza lace nearby had marvel vs capcom 2. I wish I’d spent more time there. Was kinda broke. But one of the few times I played it, a younger kid who didn’t speak English played with me and we had a tight match. Though we didn’t understand each other there was a mutual joy and respect. A very cool moment

@@michaelgeorge5197 If by a couple of attempts you mean like a thousand, then yeah, that's about how many attempts it took to get this run ;) Back in the day there was only one arcade place in my town and I was also kinda broke, I know the feeling. I could only afford 3 coins per day. I was lucky to become friends with someone who was buying many coins and I got a lot of free coins :) Earning the respect of the other good players was very special. I went from a scrubby little kid to one of the top players within like 2 years. Very special moments, full of good memories only. If I could go back, I would do it all over again!

@@deviouxFGC lol oh man..a thousand.. that’s a lot of cursing! Congrats on the run. Even if you did pick Ken. Team Ryu! Hadoooooken!!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

It's jump Heavy Kick or Heavy Punch > Heavy Punch > Shoryuken. Sometimes I also do jump Heavy Kick or Heavy Punch > Medium Punch > Shoryuken.

That is impressive and I can actually relate to that, because I used to do the same thing after I got really good at Champion Edition and Super (The New Challengers). I would beat noobs using just my left hand and only low punch and low kick. We did not have this game at my arcade, unfortunately and we also didn't have Super Turbo either. Such a shame, both of these are so much better. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@deviouxFGC it was the chess of our generation 🤣

@@philwhatever3903 It was the most important thing in my life for many years :) it consumed me, I loved every second of it and if I could go back, I would do it all over again!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

That's impressive! The Super Turbo AI can be a b*tch. GGWP! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes, it's a regional thing. This is the original Japanese version and these are the original names the game was designed with. Detailed explanation available on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Bison Thanks for watching and commenting.
