Episode 367: Street Fighter II (The World Warrior)
Added 2021-03-26 13:00:00 +0000 UTCOur next stop in the year-long journey across the history of Street Fighter is the main event, the game that turned 30 years old last month and inspired this entire trip through time: Street Fighter II. Specifically, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Yes, this episode is specifically about the very first iteration of the game—no sequels, spinoffs, updates, hacks, merchandise, media adaptations, or collectibles. We'll be covering the game's iterations and evolutions in due time! But for now, we simply have our eyes on the K.O. punch delivered by the property's initial arrival. Feat. the talents of Feit, Kalata, and Bailey, with art by Wanserski and edits by Leahy.
Description: Kat Bailey, Kurt Kalata, and Diamond Feit face off against Jeremy Parish in a free-for-all throw down of video game history to celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the most influential pop culture creations of all time: Capcom's Street Fighter II.

Oh wow how could people have played SF 1 as hardcore as SF2? (Comments above). SF one had like no appeal. It was more fun to just not advance the screen and fight each other in double dragon 1 or 2.
2021-06-17 20:20:16 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Glad there's an quick mention on the glitches of the first generation SF2 arcade machines. I remember there were a few glitches that players purposely did with Guile to "handcuff" the opponents that either led to a showy victory as the time counted down or a freeze that required a reboot. For the follow-up episode, please give some airtime to the "rainbow" editions that proliferated between Champion Edition and Turbo: Hyper Fighting. Although they were illegal mods, they literally took over every SF2 arcade machine in Northern California when I was young.
