Street Fighter retrospective by The Nostalgic Gamer

Posted — March 27, 2010 at 1:11 p.m. PDT

The Nostalgic Gamer has a 7-part video series on the history of Street Fighter. This is a fan project that was released last year, but it received little publicity and there's quite a few people that didn't know it existed.

While the narration is a bit dry, this is a really good look back at the Street Fighter games, movies and other stuff that Capcom has put out over the years.

To see the rest of the clips, just hit the link below.

Same, where is the link for the rest? I watched 1-8 and didn't know there was 9 and 10.

Catalyst said on March 27, 2010 at 1:26 p.m.

Sorry, edited the story. This is a 7-part video series, but 10 clips total.

still getting the book

MIRACLEfool said on March 27, 2010 at 2:09 p.m.

You know the history in book form is great and all but I was really hoping for an art book

Ex_Ein said on March 27, 2010 at 2:13 p.m.

....miraclefool you prove your name so much right there

just cause it's the history doesn't mean it won't have art of rejected concept art for characters as well as art that didn't make it into the game

Even though there are times where Nostalgic is yawning while talking, it's still very interesting and an enjoying retrospective.

I loved the comeback montage in 6C. Daigo v Jwong, Daigo v Afrolegends, and Jwong and IFCYipes.

Yay for MK vs SF by Proxicide! I can't believe I actually liked the first Street Fighter movie...I was a stupid stupid child.

Where's part 8?

That come back in 6c in MVC 2 was epic holy crap

but to me Marvel vs Campcom 2 was my intro into fighting games so that will always be my favorite.

Watched all parts, really good stuff. This covers whole history of the Street Fighter series. A masterpiece documentary.

nothing about street fighter 4? I feel SF4 was a true predecessor to SF2.

Makavelo said on March 27, 2010 at 5:17 p.m.

i watch all this the other day and the ending for part 6c was just epic, great retrospective all 7 parts are awesome worth watching

@Ex-Ein
Yeah I know I am an idiot but I just mainly want the art and character bio, not much on the history though is what I mean

3rd Strike is the best Street Fighter Game IMO. It was the hardest game to master and make. I took lots of dedication just to become an average player.

Ex_Ein said on March 27, 2010 at 7:43 p.m.

@Miraclefool and what assures you thatt you won't get that?

I watched 7 parts of street fighter history, it was really nice to see how producers make street fighter. I'm proud of myself to be a street fighter fan or Capcom fan. However, I never played street fighter ex series or street fighter evolution. I will wait for the update on the 8th part.

I don't find the original street fighter very enjoyable, but I have only respect for the title that strated a great series as well as an entire genre.

That j.Wong bit was epic

@Ex-Ein
That all I heard is it is the history of Street fighter,
and seriously man you should start to chill its starting to sound like you want an argument over this

Ex_Ein said on March 28, 2010 at 1:51 p.m.

MIRACLEfool I'm not wanting one just saying that you should maybe do more research then just hearing the name

KageVincent said on March 28, 2010 at 1:58 p.m.

I'm guessing part 8 will be here at a later date. Lovin this so far however.

Rush_down said on March 28, 2010 at 9:42 p.m.

this was a great idea and i loved taking a look back on all those games that i button mashed as a kid but all this brought something to my realization of capcom and the street fighter series.........in all they have only made 3 actual street fighter games not counting all the updates, patches, mods, versus, etc. Along with that almost every super, ultra, super art, special move is used over and over again. If you look closely at alpha and SF4 now the same setups and ultras are there with just more cinematic appeal. So basically what im trying to say is capcom is dumb lazy lol we have had the same characters for almost 2 decades and they havent changed mcuh as far as story, plot, etc. Not bashing them but its just funny to realize that the new ultras everybody is talking about in SSF4, with some exceptions are just rehashes of old supers.

I really liked the remixes they used in part 7. Particularly the vega theme and the jazzy chunli remixes. Any idea where they came from?
