[edit] Original Street Fighter character victory statements.

In Street Fighter 1, the winning & losing screen for Ryu was the same statement spoken & written on the screen, with winning being "What strength!! but don't forget there are many guys like you all over the world." and losing being "You've got a lot to learn before you beat me, try again kiddo!"

However, before the screen after the fight, the characters would proclaim victory with audio each in a unique way, just like in the victory screen of the later Street Fighter games. Here is what I could make out myself;

Ryu; "All Right!"
Joe; "Whose your daddy?"
Mike; "I'm the champion!"
Retsu; "Go to heaven."
Geki; "(laughter)"
Birdie; "Another win!"
Eagle; "And that's that, (laughter)"
Lee; "???"
Gen; "You are weak, go(?)"
Adon; "You are no match for me."
Sagat; "(laughter)"

I'm fairly confident about all of them except for the two fighters from China. Alternately, there is some audio for certain moves, like Sagats fireball, which in SFII was "Tiger!" though in SFI almost sounds like "Fire!", with the early audio voice emulation it is difficult to tell, as all of Ryu's moves are different (in English) as in "Fireball" instead of "Hadouken" in SFII, and "Hurricane Kick" etc.

This should maybe be incorporated into the article somehow, or in the individual characters articles, once we can be certain of what the two characters from China say. 67.5.212.255 01:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Gen is most likely saying You a big fool, like in SFA

[edit] Original Street Fighter

The original Street Fighter is the first game in the Street Fighter series. Period. --Ifrit 06:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What system was this game played on?

I assume it was an arcade game, but the article doesn't say. This info should be in the first sentence. (unsigned post by user:69.251.203.5 )

You're right, done. It already used the "Arcade Game" Infobox though. ;) ShotokanTuning 08:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

There have been ports for different computer systems

You're right. Here's a quote from MAWS:

An old friend of mine had this game for his Sega CD back in 2nd grade or so (I'm 22 as of the time of this writing). I can't seem to find anything that would legitimize my memory on the internet that would justify me editing the article however, leading me to believe that there were very few produced. It could be that it was an illegal port, who knows...just wanted to throw it out that I have played this on Sega CD. -- Dan N.

I added the info about the Atari ST port after watching that review Ashens made of Human Killing Machine. --I Am Magnustalk 19:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

In the article it says People did not like to just play the same character, but can someone give me an example of a versus fighting game that came out before Street Fighter that had a choice of playable characters? From people who have played the arcade when it came out I have heard nothing but good things about the original Street Fighter, and I've only seen criticism from online reviews that compared it to it's sequel.

I cringed when I read this as well, as I don't recall any arcade games that were anything even remotely like the original Street Fighter in its timeframe. It seems like a comment made in retrospect, rather than one of that time. -- Dan N.

As far as I know, alot of people gives it a good review for a game of that time.

[edit] Weird question

Is it just me, or when you start a match in this game, the announcer says "Round (# here) Michael!"? SilentRAGE! 02:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

  • No, it's the japanese spelling of "Fight"-Faito or something like it.Master Bigode 17:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unique arcade machine?

Wasn't the arcade machine quite unique? I remember it had these oversized rubber buttons which you had to hit quite hard (In fact, I used to see kids double up and play a single character because it was so difficult to both control and press the buttons at the same time) Bmathew 04:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it had two oversized buttons (per player) that were pressure sensitive. In theory, you were supposed to hit the buttons harder to make the character use harder attacks, but in practice, it just made the game harder to play.69.216.98.105 04:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
