Street Fighter, introduced to the public in 1992 by Capcom, has served as one of the most impressive and accurate Real-Time Strategy games for over a decade.
Controls[edit | edit source]
There are 10 buttons and one joystick on the arcade cabinet of modern machines. The negative grace under pressure edge system had been tweaked due to excessive pressure put on the buttons, forcing arcade operators to replace buttons that had committed seppuku due to extreme pressure, see also north star.
The joystick and buttons look like this.

Note: this is the standard arcade configuration. If you are using a/n Playstation 2, Xbox, or Nintendo Wii controller to play fighting games, you're screwed from the word "stop".
Note: In your average arcade at least four of the buttons will not respond to pressing or pounding them. The joystick may be permanently jacked into a direction other than neutral.
Note: These controls replaced the negative grace under pressure edge system controls, which were further replaced again by a non-ASCII control scheme.
Note: A few good players have been able to cast a tenfold sized hadouken by handling the lever with their mouths.
Story[edit | edit source]
The story is as follows:
Once upon a time, the world appeared, right after the Sega Master System boot sequence. Ryu, Sagat, and several other characters came to life. Ryu looped on attract mode for several hours while the sound was adjusted. Then God puteth a quarter therein. Ryu staggered around shakily while punching the air and kicking his opponents sometimes. They spoke to him from time to time, but were hard to understand.
Then Ryu met Sagat. Sagat won, so God puteth another quarter therein. Ryu fought Sagat again a few times, and figured out qcf+p. Sagat won again. But after the next quarter, Ryu did f,d,df+p a few times, It was mostly unresponsive, but it hit once, leaving a bloody valley on Sagat's chest, and Ryu won. A high score was entered, and the credits rolled. And God saw it was good
Later[edit | edit source]
A few years later, after Ryu existed in different dimensions, mostly looking crappy compared to the original, Ryu looked better. He was upset about not having a face in some versions of reality.
The new, better looking world appeared. Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and many other busty characters came to life. Mayhem ensued.
Rules of Conduct As Specified through a historical Viewpoint that had Undoubted Ramifications throughout the Real and Virtual Worlds both in Present and Past[edit | edit source]
Observed by all sane and rational persons, the tome of Street Fighter 2 Discipline was enacted after World War 2 in order to make sure that the terrible weapon known as being cheap was confined.
Other Important History Stuff[edit | edit source]
-International outcry after the war also called for limitations on the Final Atomic Buster and related controller input.
-All existing martial arts altered their sparring strategies after 1992 when the Street Fighter game revealed the uncanny potency of throwing your opponent after they block a quick jab or crouching kick.
Later...Turbo[edit | edit source]
Ryu was killed off in the starting sequence to Street Fighter VII: Deadly Mistake by a black dude when he pissed him off by calling him a nigger. Some fans believe this to be a silly plot twist designed to cash in, others point out that considering there are already seven zillion and four Street Fighter games and that Capcom has enough money as it is, the company simply says "shut up and stop whining."
Ryu was given a funeral, where his friends and lack of any family attended. For this special occasion, they simply buried him in the middle of Nowhere, where his spirit will walk around freely. However, later he would resurface again for the next Street Fighter game, coming back as a zombie.

Pronunciation[edit | edit source]
Character Names[edit | edit source]
- Chun Li is pronounced so that it rhymes with "Hum Vee", not "Tune me".
- Zangief is pronounced so that it rhymes with "Spam Beef", rather than anything remotely Russian sounding like "Spam me hef".
- Charlie is pronounced like "barley", except the "char" is pronounced like "guy", and the "lie" is pronounced like "ull".
- Gen is pronounced like "Jem and the Holograms".
- Q is pronounced like "phew", as in "Phew, I lost the fuzz".
- Maki is pronounced so that it rhymes with "caky", not the Japanese sounding like "lucky".
- Seth is pronounced "annoying retard that no one can beat".
Moves[edit | edit source]
“shoryuken!”
The major special moves of Street Fighter 2 also have pronunciations details that should be observed:
- Hadouken. The Hadouken is actually a rip-off copyright infrigment to Goku's Ka-me-ha-me-ha beam thing-a-ma-giggy. Goku tried to sue the living shit out of Ryu and Ken for it but lost on the count of Ken's "lawer lies". Note that Hadouken is also the name of the following sequence of moves you make in a control: down + down-front + front + some other button that surely will be explained. Such as: "His secret move is two Hadoukens plus kick."
- Shouryuken, also known as Rori. Note that Shoryuken is also the name of the following sequence of moves you make in a control: fornt + down + down-front + some other button that surely will be explained. Such as: "Oh! He has a Shoryuken with low kick too!"
- Sonic Boom.
- Flash Kick
- Spinning Bird Kick
- Tiger Uppercut:Also known as "Tiger WTF" and "Tiger Apricot".
- Hayate:A super fast punch to the gut that has the power to explode the hell out of the universe.
- Karakusa:Choke your opponent halfway to death with a 30% chance of breaking their neck.
- Punch /Pán-chű/: Fist Strike
- Tchep-tchep-puruken /A-beck-set-boo-get /Amazing-Food-Kick, also /Rotak-tak-duruken/ Jack-jack-spear-jack / Jap-jap-jew-jap : There are several divergences about what is said in this tremendous movement. The producers declared officially that this is actually pronounced "Tatsumakisenpukyakarukensakuyatukenbakken", however, most of the people we have interviewed have sworn to actually having heard either "hurricane kick" or "helicopter kick". Note that "Tchep" is also the name of the following sequence of moves you make in a control: down + down-back + back + some other button that surely will be explained. Such as: "His secret move is two Tcheps plus punch." This sequence is also called a "backwards Badooken." Alternatively, Ken pronounces it as "jap-jap-jew-jap" in regards to his anti-semitic/Japanese views.
Sagat's "Tiger Robocop" controversy[edit | edit source]
Animal Rights activists Jesus and Mohammed Ali were none to amused when they found out that Sagat had a 'thing' for Tigers. While attending a Street Fight between Bob Sagat and Cammy, Jesus and Ali were horrified when Sagat screamed "Tiger Up-Her-Butt while thrusting his fist in the air, knocking out Cammy (aka Kylie Minogue). When confronted by Jesus, Sagat insisted that "I don't do nothing like that to Tigers, ya' know, up their butts and stuff. I just hang out with them". Ali went on to smack Sagat upside the head with a beef burger, and told him to stop "hanging" with tigers. Sagat would change the move name to "Tiger Robocop", which seems to please Jesus and Ali. 2 months ago, a picture was sent to Jesus which looked like Sagat once again hanging around with tigers. Who knows how this feud will end.
Hacked versions[edit | edit source]
Some guys over the world created some hacked versions of the Street Fighter games. Some of those versions include:
- Street Fighter 2 (Rainbow Edition) : This removed some of the characters and replaced by a more gay version of them.
- Street Fighter (red version) : Normal Street fighter with some fire in the game.
- Street Fighter (blue version) : The counterpart to "Street Fighter (red version)". The difference between the two versions is which characters You fight and how often they appear. Rather than being really gory your opponent freezes when K.O.'d.
- Street Mister T : Akuma is replaced with Mr.T, and Zinedine Zidane is also a selectable character, under the name Sagat. (He has an eyepatch to cover his identity)
- Street Biter : Street Fighter with all teeth-based Attacks.
- Street Fighter (Vito Sagat/Bob Saget version) : Sagat is replaced by his WWE counterpart (Big) Vito Sagat and Bob Saget is an unlockable character.

The VS. Series[edit | edit source]
Not content with doing the RTS thing on their own, the Street Fighters decided to leave behind the tennis racket and find new friends and foes in the VS games. These crossdressing games hosted some of the most unbelievable RTS wars ever seen by man or beast, and made Capcom a lot of munny-wunny.

Another game of special mention was Gainax vs. Capcom, which would feature many original characters from the Gainax company, but by this point Capcom was beginning to half-ass their fighting game efforts to where they made the entire game out of paper. Gainax fans were deeply displeased.
The only Capcom Vs. game that did not get published was Sammy vs. Capcom, in which Capcom and Sammy were to team up and produce the game after calling them out to challenge their best. But then Capcom no-showed, causing the game to get canceled and therefor making Sammy the winners by default (and producing a game where that happens would have been boring).
Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
There have been recent rumors surfacing about the near completion of Ryu's autobiography, the aptly named "Turbo: A Street Fighter Story or: How I learned to quit worrying and love the Shoryuken" should be hitting stores near you soon, Mortal Kombat fans worldwide are pleased.
Safety Issues[edit | edit source]
An outcry occurred after a girl named Alice Margatroid got sucked into a Street Fighter II arcade machine just after she started the game. Within seconds, she had to fight her way out through the freaky host of characters, and she escaped albeit injured, the first case of video game injury. Capcom acknowledged this as a trait of the CPS-1 (Commie's Plus Suckers -1) and put an advisory to stay away from the machine while playing. From that time on, the joysticks and the buttons were detached from the machine, and fans complained that Capcom hated them. They destroyed millions of CPS-1 machines and prompted Capcom to replace them with the equally impotent Commies Plus Suckers Harbor.
Future Games[edit | edit source]
It has been confirmed that the production of a new Street Fighter game has started, focusing on the characters 40 years later, where they are all old and wrinkled and fighting to become the strongest senior citizen in the entire retirement home. The release date of this latest entry into the series is currently unknown. However, we can guarantee that they plan to make more versions of this same sequel shortly after the release of the first one. The story is based around the revitalized Sagat who smashed a window at an old folks home, and they declared a new tournament be held as revenge.
Also still confirmed to be under development is the upcoming sequel, Street Fighter V (pronounced Street Fighter "FEYVE" and is always written in bold font). The game is based around a golfing tournament held by the one and only Master Retsu, who challenges the world to beat his hole-in-one winning streak. Playable characters include Shin Akuma, Evil Ryu, Violent Ken and Slightly Annoyed Dan who have all somehow been hypnotized by Gill and a yet-again-reincarnated M.Bison and to win them the cash prize of 100,000 Yen. However, recent protests by women's rights activists and otakus over the discarding of Chun Li (who was reported to be having tea with friends in South Town at the time) have halted the proceedings for at least a year, though recently the game has resumed it's progress.
Another future game was a enhanced port of Street Fighter IV, Morrigan's Engrish Edition, which was planned for the XBox 360 and Playstation 3, but was later cancelled abruptly after she sexually assaulted and ripped the intestines out of the male staff members about 2 months into development.
