The Insane Lore of Street Fighter 

That's kinda funny because grapplers have a stigma in fighting games community that makes people salty when losing to them. Most people don't enjoy losing most of their health to a 50/50 grab mixup. It's a bit ironic though since they tend to be on the lower end of the meta strength-wise in most games.

Zangief is on the side of good an evil.

This was before Putin's pets started murdering Ukrainan civilians.

​@@LucaltuveThat's quite the belief you have, lol

Damn. Talk about rent-free living.

Makes me wish SNK approached Clement for a Fatal Fury video since MotW2 is coming soon.

Copyright strikes his video instead

Pay him because he taught their franchise story on RU-vid by using their sites.......infos.....that people are too lazy to simply consult..........

@@hikari67 Everyone can do their own taxes but everyone usually pays someone to do it instead, right?

​@@polarbear138I do my own taxes it's not that hard

and yet he doesn't get enough love

Man, now I wanna see Haggar fight Zangief.

Wow that’s awesome! Now that’s a flex lol

TBF while they flexed with Gill the fact is that Guile still exist and the reason he has two identical tattoos is the sprite only flipping and they were forced to keep it like that ever since

Gotta love 3rd strike

It's not actually two sets of sprites. It's palette trickery. Urien can also be palmodded to have dual colors, though it's significantly more broken.

Dee Jay’s pants say “MAXIMUM” because it’s a word made up of letters that appear the same, even when flipped

Cody is one of most powerful SF characters, they need to add a 'cuffs off' version

​@@kazzykaioken8873I'm pretty sure he doesn't wear cuffs in sfv unless you put on his og outfit

Woke deejay can take on a billion bisons

Its not official canon, but Oni win quote implies if he wasnt wearing the cuffs that he could have a chance to win

The funny thing with Cody is that he doesn't use Ki or some forms of mystical technique. He just generate a tornado out of sheer physical strength.

So frieza then.

It’s also just a common polite action in Japan to cover one’s moth when laughing. They refer to a western open mouthed laugh as a “horse laugh” that is akin to a horse neighing. It’s, like most western things, considered boorish.

Love it. In anime it always makes me chuckle

Also known as the hime-dere.

I think it is still the same thing in Japan... Except change Commoners with Low Class. Same thing

William F. Guile😂. Does his wife call him Bill? Or Billy🤣

@@Mikhael366 His wife also calls him Guile

Nash is sometimes called Charlie

That's so cute, Ken is such a great friend

So Ryu is self-made, and that wasn't even his goal. That's impressive. 😊 And I don't think I need to say this, but Ken and Chun-Li are my kind of friends. ❤

He's kinda lie KIRYU from Yakuza, basically

@@KillaD69 he just swims from country to country 😂😂

Ryu trying to message you on his phone in World Tour is just adorable! and I like that he gets better over time while training the protag

There's nothing that says the ojou needs to be good; the ojou is just as likely to be a rich bitch without the complications of a heart of gold. The term refers to a girl from a high-status family, which may or may not actually have wealth and/or a noble title. And it almost always refers to a girl, because they tend to be married off for dynastic purposes, even when they're merely rich commoners.

more like "OHOHOjou-sama" :3

Ah, the Shantotto.

Also the drill hairstyle. Very common in the ojou-sama archetype.

Yup. Just like Lilli from Tekken

I mean... technically... very few fighting game characters have.

He kills Gen for good in SFV, but that's still only one guy.

His master

@@logie9672 he'll probably be back too eventually.

@@bungieman2810wasn’t gen already dying? I thought he killed him out of “respect “ better to die in battle than to an illness

If you so addicted to lore. Now can you watch 6 hours Metal Gear lore by Suggestive Gaming??

@@NoobGamer64-gj4ic I mean, cuz it was interesting. Besides, it's not like I wasn't already aware of the lore already. Plus, it's fun to see how other ppl interpret it or fill in the blanks. Besides, it's not like ppl need to watch it all at once.

​@@LongTran-kp3kzU know a lot of RE series?

@@IbukiClean If you mean lore, then yeah. I'm pretty knowledgeable about the RE series.

im gonna watch it right now@@NoobGamer64-gj4ic

true

He’s like a big green puppy

Kaboom

He is pure baby

Tell that to a wild Pikachu.

Hopefully he does all the fighting game series. They all have wacky storylines.

​@@RichSmithsonabsolutely agree

If he does mortal kombat and kof then he's got the big 4 from the arcade days covered

​@RichSmithson the day he does kof is the day a 4+ hour video gets uploaded to his channel lol

@@TheRealMoeru he might need to separate it to two or more videos with how truly insane the King of Fighters lore can be... and that's not even getting into the many manga and manhwa tie-ins that just get even more insane than the games' stories.

I think this is not just a joke and it’s an actual canon trait for Zangief. Because in the manga Sakura Ganbaru written back in the 90s, this hatred of hadokens is a plot point for him. But I don’t know how much of the manga is really canon since there Cammy got her name after Sakura called her that on a whim, which is different to what Clement told here.

​@@bulb9970 Its an udon comic which are known for having canon issues, this manga also was released in 1996. The player's guide for street fighter turbo 1993 (released by nintendo of america) says Zangief dislikes missiles in his bio. The instructions for ssf2 turbo for the 3do 1994 states his dislikes are: fire ball, sonic boom, yoga fire, tiger shot. These things aren't in the other instruction books for sf2 and ALSO not in the japanese release of world warrior (i tracked these down from incorrect claims on reddit.) If this is a trait referenced in a japanese magazine from earlier than that I couldn't find it. I always assumed it was a self insert by zangief mains who wrote the book and now its part of his win quotes in 4-5 and profile in 6. The players guide and old magazines are fun reads though, they state cammy hates: everything when shes angry and that ryu is afraid of spiders, this is actually referenced in MvC3 when fighting spiderman.

the roster for 6 is complete ass, iits basically just street fighter 2 with a few new ones

@@thefreshvince879coming on slowly

Yeah I learned that from Palutena’s Guidance in Smash Ultimate

@@reececollins9212same

This

Yes. He literally shows a victory screen where Ken says this in that moment lmao.

​@@Majin_Xavierrasyes, but he does call them step brothers lmao.

But then there's Ken, Lucia and Gill actually channeling fire and other characters with elemental affinities, guess Dhalsim's humble lol

@@MagillanicaLouM They are working with actual fire. Dhalsims is some weird psychic attack on the mind that takes the form of fire.

He’s literally gaslighting

@@FunkVT LMAO

That's hilarious, thank you for sharing.

Plus there's that player title in SF6 implying that he might be "secretly rich" 🤔

Also, Chun-Li took him shopping for new clothes at some point

Ryu's favorite costume is a tracksuit with sakura petal designs. According to sf6 world tour mode.

@charleshastings7260finally a rich character that actually helps his friends out 🗿

@charleshastings7260 holy shit, Ken's the broest of bros!

Not only that, but everyone who is electrocuted shows an X-ray image of bones. But when Q is electrocuted, it looks metallic. I'm willing to bet Q is a doll version of G.

Oh boy thats another completely different can of worms.

That sounds like a cool cheesy movie.

Hell yeah bruh sounds sick

They would have, but Satan runs Hollywood and wouldn't allow such anti-satan propaganda to be released.

Where did you hear the part about Geki?

@@charlieharrington9555 They literally share moves and a claw, dude.

@@waypastcoolkid that doesnt necessarily mean thats the lore. But Im with you on it until something else contradicts that. I love Deep Lore.

@@waypastcoolkidso you just made that up then?

@@waypastcoolkid Thats also False dude. Cause VEGA doesn't teleport, your logic is like saying random NARUTO ninja tought another one how to use a shuriken, just becuase they both use shurikens. Don't be spreading false facts - comming out of what you believe, not what you know, there's a difference.... Beliefs =/= Knowledge - on the internet, that's just weird

At 29:11 there’s a bio from the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection that says different, but then again, I’ve noticed other things within those bios that are contradictory with what is established.

Weeb

Bison learned his power was from rose

Do we know who his master was?

@@dereksable9941 other way around. See Rose’s alpha 3 ending.

Akuma and Bison never fought, never met, no interaction in the canon timeline. The event goes against established canon.

@@ouranos0101 There's a frikkin cutscene where he one shots M. Bison in SF2. Even the 30th Anniversary Profile states he challenged Bison.

@@AkumaTh not canon.

@@AkumaTh Are you familiar with the concept of retcons? Sequels after SF2 retroactively overwrite and rewrite SF2's events. Sequels also establish which of the endings end up becoming canon and which remain completely or partially "what ifs". Bison and Akuma never canonically met as of the modern SF era starting with SF4. They literally act like they don't know each other. Bison's only encounter with the SNH is from Ryu himself. The only thing Bison and Akuma have in common is their infatuation with Ryu.

@@ouranos0101 Again, 30th Anniversary SF Profile, which was released in 2018, with only had SFV Champion Edition and SF6 coming after, and thus came after the Aftermath stuff, States Akuma Challenged Bison. They have met and it is canon. Nothing in the new update or 6 contradicts that fact.

Sadly, it’s kind of a black mark on such an otherwise well-researched and comprehensive lore video that he missed what is a pretty obvious reference from Genesis.

​@@DarthBoardBVEIt's only obvious if you have knowledge of the Bible. Not everyone is familiar with it.

​​@@DarthBoardBVEnot everyone has studied the bible

​​@@DarthBoardBVE agreed Kinda surprise he missed such an important reference.

In the name of Kane!

I believe the pete holmes version is cannon.

Kinda makes me think of AVP where the Predator spares the president because he had respiratory issues. Only to get a flamethrower to his back and he turns and kills the man anyway

Is there a source for that?

@@simple11q oh shit i think i screwed up. His health issue was indeed true, and Akuma nearly killed him once, but not at the end of SFV. It is officially unknown if Gen has died or survived his latest fight with Akuma.

@@namnasuu I believe it was Alpha 1/2 where Gouki spared Gen

I'm just trying to figure out which Mega Man timeline Street Fighter is connected to. There's references between SF and the Classic timeline, but SF6 has the Battle Network version of MegaMan's symbol on a chip in the Story Mode. And are all these games fictional in the Dead Rising universe? What about Resident Evil? Is Luke Captain Commando? What about Viewtiful Joe?! Devil May Cry!? Phoenix Wright?!?

Strider and Rival Schools also take place in this universe

@@MegaManXPoweredUp Battle Network is alternate to the classic/mainline but crosses over with it. The answer is, genuinely, "both". Battle Network canonically time-travels (it can cross over within its own timeline (with Star Force), several hundred years into other series' futures (it crosses over with the Boktai/Lunar Knights series, BN4 to Boktai 2, BN5 to Boktai 3, BN6 to Lunar Knights), and with Megaman Zero 3 in BN4). Megaman also crosses over at the Zero era with SvC Chaos, where Zero gets displaced but still has radio communications with Ciel. Oh and in Marvel VS Capcom X era X and Zero show up, so... ...And in Tatsunoko VS Capcom we even see both Roll and Zero together so they can even still have time travel with each other. The timeline answer is that the Megaman timelines SF connects to is "all of them, and at multiple points in time, because MegaMan apparently has common enough time travel shenanigans that they could have a giant multi-generation party over at Ryu's place if they wanted to. (Remember, Megaman has robots that manipulate time AND canonical time travel machines.) Edit: but for the purposes of placing *Doctor Light* in this: it might be at around MM9's time, since Chun-Li is the news reporter there.

Yeah. I think it's really cool. 😊

capcom doesnt need marvel at all, they already have a full beautiful universe to create ultimate capcom all star fighting game... also, where does monster hunter and phoenix wright fit in? lol@@Exlayer-pk8hy

Oh.. to watch them bleed 🩸

realest

PLS EVEN IF 5 IS ASS

Just heard the tek ken mention of vid.... guess what im watching next? Lol. (Yes i just got here)

This actually explains why he blows him self up for no reason. Since he knew Akuma was coming for him. It doesn’t really make sense any other way.

​​@@404_nowheresnotfound3rugal Do that mess all the time on KOF After the defeat. No congratulations, no thanks Just blows the place up with him In it.

Rugal from KOF loses a fight he blows The whole place up like WTF. He hates losing.😂

​@@404_nowheresnotfound3rugal From KOF would like a word with you.😂

for me, Bison never saw it happen. He got ready to start the fight, BAM! * dies 1k deaths* barely survives since his soul straight ejected, wakes up on the floor later, assuming Ryu beat his ass.🤣

Facts

And the crazy part about that is there’s a shit ton of quantity too lol

Quality? His audio is terrible!

​@@XXXXX8they mean the video and the details in it.

@@ItzDr3FTLFor real. His Let’s Plays were really well-played and thorough.

I would love to see that. I would also love to know his opinion on Kingdom Hearts is. 😊

NovaZone already did a fantastic retrospective on KH. Also, Clement should do King of Fighters instead of Mortal Kombat. KoF lore is nucking futso.

NOOOOOOOOOO

@@SmashFinale Honestly, fighting game lore in general is nucking futso. Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Dead or Alive, you name it. It's all bonkers.

The power of Kingdom Hearts is too much for any mortal youtuber

That was the iconic Evo Moment 37

Wait, is that actually canon?!

@@JustSomeMexicanwithaMustache no, but it’s such a legendary moment that it might as well be

No, hes based on Ryo because Capcom thought SNK was copying them

@@scrubtoilet44He’s saying the gi, not Dan himself.

also, gene labell made steven seagal piss himself. story goes that on the set of a movie, seagal bragged about how, thanks to his uber cia/aikido/bullshido training, it was impossible for him to be choked out. gene was actually a stunt-coordinator and already had a problem with him since seagal is notorious for being extra violent with stunt men. like he would legit hit them and send them to the hospital. gene took the challenge and with his permission, locked steven in a rear naked choke. steven tried to get out of it but sadly for him, he didn't know how to get out of it and promptly passed out. then he either pissed himself, shit himself or a combination of both. either way, his pants were not clean afterwards. of course, steven denies this took place but gene and several other people have confirmed that it indeed happened.

@@maxacorn see this story perfectly illustrates those who pretend they're chads by blowing hot air and those who actually are but they stay humble, awesome guy

LaBell didn't have shit on real martial artists like Ashida Kim!

Ken is voiced by Donte who is good and best in game?

Knowing him he’d deliberately miss out 06 if he did a lore video on the series 😅

My man spent over a decade trying to play through every sonic game. Give him some time off of the franchise.

​@BH-98 to be fair, that game retconned itself out of the series canon, meaning there is no reason to bring it up when talking about canon games.

@@V-Jes That still cracks me up to this day, like they were so done with it they decided right at the ending to never wanna bring it up again, makes sense considering the shitty crunch that happened around making that game. But ig by the time Generations came out they were fine with embracing it, Sonic canon is a mess.

Pretty much Lmao

Honestly that sound much more badass and interesting. Makes Gouken stand out more, same for Gotetsu.

I’m genuinely curious where is your source on this about Goutetsu?

@@carlbloke8797 The Street Fighter Alpha manga released back in the 90s explains the whole backstory of Gouken, Akuma, Goutetsu and so on. As far as I know, that's where Goutetsu originated as a character. It's stated there that he created the shoto fighting style as a murder technique. Akuma embraced this and mastered it with the Satsui no Hado, while Gouken reshaped the shoto style to a more noble cause. Ryu briefly tapped into the Satsui no Hado during his shoryuken against Sagat, so he believed the technique could lead him to the dark path. After that, he tried to stay as far away from it as possible. Ken was more bold and brash, trying to push the shoryuken even further thinking that Ryu was being too afraid to improve. The two have a disagreement, have the fight at 45:33 and Ryu makes the first steps to evolve as a fighter while still having a good heart. So Ken wasn't actually lucky to win that fight, it was Ryu holding back on purpose. It's a good read, there's also a manga focused on Sakura that's even better and portrays her fight against Karin at 1:02:51

That's hilarious

Clement has been voicing the characters (when there are only texts) in his LPs since the beginning, and he always gives his all when doing it!

Fun fact: before Shen Long got attributed to Gouken, Street Fighter The Movie The Game tried to make their own. Apparently he would be so powerful that his power was turning him into a real dragon. This idea ended up scrapped because the costume was super low quality.
