I remember playing this game when it came out! I was 4 years old; while watching my older cousins playing this stage, I just fell in love with the music! Vega, you're badass!
When I was growing up playing this in early 90’s I always wondered how you climbed the fence...like it bugged me so much lol. This was when you had to rely on Nintendo Power, EGM or told and tricks. Good luck finding it on AOL back during the 28.8k days lol. I actually miss these times because there was still “mystery” left in the world. Now everybody is an expert on EVERYTHING, especially god damn kids!
I totally forgot about the fact that the characters have different vocal pitches to match the strength of their attacks. I know it's a small detail, but it's worth noting. Thanks for posting this video, man. I appreciate your hard work :)
Games back in the day gave no fucks, if you could 🍕 the game and your friends still liked you then it's fine. If you cornered the wrong guy and turned up the cheese in your local bowling alley or fun factory then you might get punched in the face.
The damage the boss used to dish in this version(and in all versions of SF II altogether) was just ridiculous!!! I remember just the panic I felt (mor like crapping :D) when Vega landed a few of those kicks!!! and what about Sagat?!?!....Freaking unbelievable! But I love this version more than any other,that's for certain.
haha cool, i remember on friday & saturday afternoon when we played this game at a cousin's house,we rented the snes every weeend just to play this game,oh yeah those weekends since 1992 were never be so awesom, hell yeah 90's forever!!!!!!!
0:30 holy shit this brings back memories when i use to hate vega spam shoryukens and vega with his got damn CPUs back flip dodges lol good times in a serious bad way XD
*LOL* I always simultaneously dreaded and looked forward to Vega/Balrog doing that cage-climbing move just to hear that weird/psycho high-pitched pinging noise he makes.
In fact: Balrog originally was M. Bison; Vega was originally Balrog and M. Bison was originally Vega. Why all this crazyness? To avoid Mike Tyson to sue Capcom for using a character too similar to him in appearance and name; this is, the boxer M. Bison.
SuperGomez59 lol, I could beat Sagat at ease with one hand, while scratching my balls with the other one... But that bad ass modafacka coming next... THAT M.BISON SON OF A GUN...
One thing I never did get, was the wall climbing thing with Vega and how it was dropped. In the arcade version of SF II and the SNES version he could climb the chained fence. I used to have a hard time fighting him whenever in the arcade as a kid. In Super SF II and up, he couldn't. In other words, imo, SF II Vega was harder to fight than Super SF II Vega.
+Warriortoad Rees Damn, I'm still having Vega nightmares from childhood. I think it's 20 years ago, but I still remember that Guile is incompetent to beat Vega..
Use that Flash Kick if he jumps off the fence. Don't try an air throw or backbreaker because Vega will do that air slam, and it hurts like hell. I used to think Vega was a girl at first.
Vega: Ken can I work on my backflips? Ken: SURREEEE YOU CAN, SURREEEE YOU CAN, SURREEEE YOU CAN, SURREEEE YOU CAN, SURREEEE YOU CAN, SURREEEE YOU CAN, SURREEEE YOU CAN.
I just turned into a teenager and I was playing this game at 2 because my dad and this was so hard to beat took me about 2 weeks to copy guile turtling
I can't beat this stage. It's like if vega and your character both did jump kick at the same time, vega takes priority...all the damn time 😩. And that cage climb 😱
that is because cpu computer use the cheat in the game the invincible cheat that made him free of damage and he can take priority and the attack of cpu is quite strong this is why cpu take hours to pass the boss stage, also he can become faster when he hp close empty. ln my opinion, he normal attack is strong because the attack box is stay constant and unlike street fighter 2 turbo will dissappear only act on the moment you press the punch or kick.
Vega was dope. I remember always not being able to beat him. Does anyone remember that Vega had blonde hair on the arcade game. I always thought that was weird.
