Yeah, absolutely.. it was like a whole new world, lol And they were different colors depending on which button you pressed, I thought that was amazing.
Back in the early 90s you didn’t know when things were releasing. I remember showing up to the arcade and being shocked to see Champion Edition just standing there. I about pissed my pants.

This is a game that every time you play again you find out you can do something else better, or faster, or in a different way, or that is possible to fool your opponent by doing some weird moves that will put you in advantage someway. I'm almost 36 and loving to play this game even these days.
This is why I like button bashers as they were unpredictable and a lot more fun to play, sf2 experts always played the same style through out the game so you could easily predict thier next move, i like to loose the first round so I can see how my opponent plays.
This is my favorite Fighter game of all time. Thanks for this great video, I had a good laugh. This video reminded me back in the day playing with my friends talking smack to each other lol 👍
The one that started it all! SF2 will always have a place in my heart! Playing the SNES version as a kid in the late 90's made me a life long fan of fighting games!
You guys seem to be having the time of your lives! It brings me right back to the brazilian arcades from the late '90s, where we had SF II bootlegs in that Ryu shot double fireballs and fire would come from his feet during a dragon punch... Those were crazy days! Cheers and stay safe!
brilliant, for me nothing really beats the old early vintage games (probably due to my age lol), but this for me is the best 2 player fighting game and was one of the best for a "winner stays on" game, 15-20 people gathering around watching waiting to take on the winner, class times
Beautiful machine. Always loved and preferred the CRT over the LED. Just bought an ArcadeONE SF2 unit, love it to bit's. Not a patch on yours though. Another damn good video. ;-)
Old comment but agreed, want to save up for my own crt sf cab... lcd just don't feel/look the same.. colours and depth look richer on crt... honestly takes me back to my childhood..
I still enjoy this better than all other new Street Fighter games , but I¨m classic Retro man.Never played it on real Arcade , One of you played really good here.
Very nice game..I will stick with Time Pilot guess as my all time favorite. I do like the cabinet with the large marquee. When the games came out with a add a quarter they lost something.. Thanks
Looking forward to you all playing MORTAL KOMBAT.. One day.. Had fun watching your video.. And hope my tips and tricks help your next go around with STREET FIGHTER 2 Championship Edition.
Have you ever came across a original Street Fighter game before Street Fighter 2 came out? I remember playing it and can either choose KEN or RYU.. and fight a selection of bad guys.. That you can't choose from.. If I remembering right. But it was before Street Fighter 2 hit the scenes. By a few years.
And a little hint with E Honda? If that's spelled right.. His 1000 hand slaps. Work the same as Chun Li's 1000 leg kicks.. Before you land on the ground. Start quickly pressing that button can make it happen.. And it will.
I'm from Brazil and here we used to call Honda like "Ed Honda", instead of Honda, and Chun Li was like Chu lin. But at that time most of my friends knew nothing about english and the thing was really weird (and funny) when it came to the characters sounds. For example, Spinning bird kick turned to "Mistarchin" here, and Shoryuken was like "Hóriúguer". Guile's Sonic Boom was like "Alecfú" and the most funny of it all was Sagat's Tiger Uppercut, which came in brazilian portuguese like "Tiger robocop" to our ears (LOL) because we all knew the translation of "Tigre" (Tiger) and Robocop was quite a famous character on TV at the time. A lot of mistakes, that were and are so memorable yet.
@@LyonsArcade Nope they are pretty rare here. All Dynamo cabs are. Ofc some people have imported some over the years but they usually aren't for sale. If I ever put enough money aside I'm gonna come visit and bring one back with me ^^.
@@LyonsArcade Thx but yeah. However it has been some years since I last visited friends and family in the US. So I have this dream of visiting while also finding one of the games I feel my collection is missing. At any rate would make for a good story ^^.
This game was like a plague, i’d walk into an arcade and instead of a nice selection of games, they would have 90% street fighter and a couple of others! In a way it killed of the traditional arcade.
That is true, I've heard a ton of people who feel that way, it made it even worse that a lot of the Street fighter games were kits that were put into older cabinets, so it literally killed the traditional games... that were in those older cabinets :)
@The Realist I’m not disputing that it was a good or even great game, but why was it, that the arcades were literally packed with the game, in my previous comment, I said that typically the arcades were 90% Street fighter, and that is no exaggeration. There must be a hidden agenda, probably money ie; the makers of Street fighter paid to pack the arcades out like that. It’s just not practical.
@@davidx4591 Honestly I know this may be hard for you to believe but Street Fighter 2 was seriously just that popular and revolutionary. I remember at six or seven years old in the summertime literally waking up, playing Street Fighter 2/SF II Turbo ALL day, going to sleep, waking up and doing it all over again. Arcades bought cabinets typically by how often they had to empty them out and SF II was a cash cow.
Isn't time passing too fast? I thought it was a problem with emulators and ports to other consoles, but I noticed in Arcade videos that it is also very fast. Each second on the screen looks shorter than a real second to me. 🤔
That makes a lot of sense. I've been always fooled thinking it was a real time countdown timer. What's worse: I've been trying different emulators trying to replicate the "accurate" speed. LOL. The CPS emulators do feel a tad faster then in your arcade, though. :)
Me give me Chun-Li.. Her fire balls charge like Mileena siis? from Mortal Kombat 2. And can easily charged up as the first move of the match. Then the 1000 leg kick can be charged up before she hits the ground... And she can use the ends of that level true left or right all the way. And bounce off them like Vega.. But good game play never less..
Really my bad. Bad advice I guess.. I remember playing it on Super Street Fighter turbo Edition on the snes.. And thought they translated to the arcade versions. Oops..
@@memyopinionsche6610 Thing is that in SF2 Turbo/Hyper Fighting, Chun Li's kikoken is done as a half circle command from the direction Chun Li's back is all the way to the direction she's facing (i.e. left to right), but in SSF2, they simplified it to a charge from left to right command.
A true ninja never traps his opponents at the ends of the play fields.. But in the middle like a true warrior... Sorry that's why the Ninja union is so mad at me.. FIRST RULE 1.. Never say your a ninja. SECOND RULE OF NINJA. NEVER SAY YOUR A NINJA. And I just broke both rules. Oh there going to be mad at me again...
This is actually a useful strategy if you're Ryu or Ken and you're fighting Bison in campaign mode. What you do is find a way to goad Bison into the corner (i.e. block his head stomp and kick him when he bounces off the block with a strong kick) and then just spamming the strong hurricane kick as your ''killer loop'' strategy, and if one of the hurricane kicks don't connect at all, just bash the strong kick button to catch Bison and do your throw, and just resume spamming the hurricane kicks. And if you're lucky enough to do things right, you'll be able to get a perfect round 85% of the time.
Does anyone know why when playing on emulators like mame or fba, there’s no “winners don’t do drugs” screen? I’ve been trying to create a mame machine but I would like to have that screen show up
Joe's Classic Video Games lol 😂. But seriously tho why does it show up on actual hardware and not in an emulator I’m curious I can’t find any documentation on it
I loved that screen i have a street fighter 2 world warriors orignal board that is the world release so no winners don't use drugs screen so I recoded the roms on the board with USA roms to change its region and now have that that winners screen come up.
And the difference between Ken and Ryu.. KEN has a more powerful dragon fist.. While RYU has a more powerful fire ball the HI RU KIN? not spelled right. And both KEN and RYU is equal in the hurricane kick. I think. That's just pure speculation.. Haven't proved it ether way..
I believe in Champion Edition (this one) they hadn't split them yet, and both of them were pretty much identical in strength. In the later games they made them like you mentioned for sure.
Actually in SF2CE the hurricane kick is where the biggest difference between them really is noticed. While Ken's hurricane kick can hit a lot of times in sequence, Ryu's hurricane kick will hit the oponent from the first time and take a harshful damage off of the opponent, and it will throw him away from Ryu. Also, the movements and strategies that each of them do when they're under CPU's control is how you can differ between them.
I know... Now that I am thinking about it. My bad... I didn't realize I was comparing the arcade machine to Super Nintendo's. Super Street Fighter Turbo... And got the lines crossed... Because great excuse.. Well I was a little drunk at the time.. Oops.. Sorry... Lol.
@@memyopinionsche6610 No problem, man. The best thing is that even nowadays we're talking about and playing this wonderful game (doesn't matter the version). Cheers, from Brazil.
