You all recognized it, didn't you?
Be it visually or simply by closing your eyes,
l'm certain that, just by listening to it, with your littl' ears,
you'd have recognized Street Fighter 2; It's unforgettable.
Everything is so cult, so famous : every single soundtrack,
even the sound effects! I'm certain that if you
listen to the sound effect of a mere punch, you'll be like :'' Oh but I know this!
lt's from Street Fighter 2!'' Today won't be a review of this game,
since I've already done so a while ago; last century, in a far, faraway universe...
No, I can't remember when, but more than 1, possibly 2 years.
Yeah, it must have been 2 years since I presented SF 2.
Incredible how time goes by... . So today I'll introduce a new kind of video.
The so-called ''challenge videos,'' meaning a challenge I'll impose on myself.
This is nothing new for me since it's something I used to do already 10-15 years ago.
Normally, one does this on games one knows well.
I don't know for you, but I've always thought of it this way.
Taking a game I know well, without giving you any hints
in order to keep the surprise for the upcoming games,
l thought : ''Alright let's try doing this in a such-and-such way.'' See?
Just in order to spice things up a little bit. So I thought
l'd this and, why not, capture the video at the same time.
Of course, you won't learn anything new. For that I recommend my
review of SF 2. Alright there we go! Today's challenge will be...
Originally, I intended to beat the game on ''mode 7.'' Well, SF 2 isn't a game
that uses the ''mode 7,'' right? No, I meant the '' hard mode.''
The difficulty level goes from 0 to 7. I've already explained this, I think.
Well, if.. I hav.. not... . Damn I can't stop stammering. I can't talk anymore!
lf I didn't explain this on my review, then there is
a big oversight at this level. So, when you start the game,
you select the difficulty from 0 to 7.
0 being the easiest and 7 the hardest difficulty.
Originally it's set on ''level 3.'' If you want to see the end of this game
with one character you must take at least ''level 3.''
If you choose 2, 1 or 0, you won't see the ending.
First, I wanted to select ''level 7,'' but I thought : ''I'll get beaten up.''
So, I think I'll leave this for another challenge, another day.
So, we'll leave it at difficulty level 3. The idea's to allow myself one life.
I'm allowed to lose only once. If I lose with one character
ok, I'll try again. I deserve to have at least one chance, right?
But that's it. Alright, let's pick Ken. Gosh, I've talked too much.
It's been 3min since the video's started... anyway, let's go!
I trained just for 2 minutes, just to remember cetain moves,
but I'm still not as good as I used to be.
Ohh, alright...
This will be pitiful.
Don't tell me, I'm gonna lose against Chun Li?!
That's not possible. ***, that's how you do it!
When a character jumps like that... It's great since she's doing this all the time.
Chun Li is the jump specialist. I'll try killing her just like that.
It works, see? You just crouch and push the ''strong punch button,''
the 'L' button. Even after 20 years, I still can't remember the button 'L' and 'R'.
It's not that complicated, though. 'R' for right and 'L' for left.
It's really.. but I can't do it. Look, I'll try killing just like that.
See, it definitely works. You can also do it differently, look I'll try...
Now, she doesn't want to jump. Wait, I'll try getting out of here.
If she jumps... *** she doesn't want to. Jump now!
***! She really doesn't want to jump!
Jump now! Alright just like that, see?
Just like that! She hit me, because when you do this there's a risk that...
Ok, I'll try to finish her like that.
She jumped out! Come here.
Let's finish her.
When she does her ''kid kad kick,''... I've never understood what it means.
It probably means something I've never understood,
due to the digit voice. You just need to crouch
and do a uppercut and that's it.
It works all the time. That's something worth knowing.
I'm not even a specialist of SF 2, but I played a lot alone or with friends,
but I never tried finding out every move.
Everyhing I'll tell you in this video... ***!
Everthing I'll tell you in this video, will be moves I learned myself,
not what I read from somewhere. I never... Perfect I stunned it.
When you beat up an enemy, it'll be stunned,
which allows you to throw it or use any other techniques
that removes a lot of damages. I'll try something different with our friend Zangief.
Everything works fine for now. I'm content with myself.
I've also made myself some coffee, so... That feels good all over.
I suggest you stop the video and make yourself some coffee.
I hope I'll do better than, ***... on the review...
No,NOOO!!! That's not what I wanted to do.
I can't do the Hadouken anymore. I want to do the Hadouken, but
I do the Shoryuken instead. Damn, I can't do the Hadouken.
What?!? Wait...
Ahh, there we go. I must train now.
It won't kill me that ***. Why didn't I manage to do it?
Right, that's how you do it. Let's finish him.
There we go!
Wait, I'm the one who died! We hit each other simultaneously,
but my health was the lowest, which is why I died.
I've just one chance left now.
I'm doing some freestlye right now.
I won't go very far. I think this video'll end shortly.
That was beautiful!
Damn, I can't play! My hands are slippery!
Don't tell me I'll lose against Blanka?!
You have to be really focused. However, I'm a complete noob.
I can't do the Hadouken!? THE HADOUKEN!
Incredible I can't do them anymore.
Concerning the Shoryuken, I know how to do them,
even though it's not what I wanted to do here.
USA. That's Guille, right? No, it's Zangief.
Where's Guile in that case? Isn't it the USA too?
This means, there are 2 characters for the USA.
There's Zangief and Guile? I am practically certain that...
***... NOOOO!!!!
I won't be beaten by Zangief.
Zangief's jumps are so *** up, but the problem's when the AI
is controlling him. ***, he does a throw if you're too close to him.
I'll try a Shoryuken. ***, he protected himself!
***, I'm in deep *** now.
I don't know what we should try.
That *** is stronger than I thought.
That *** is eating me! NOOO!!
He rarely does this. Blanka can also eat the enemy.
Dhalsim punches when he performs a throw
and Honda breaks our ribs and I think that's all.
I managed to stun him, but how could he's priority
over my kicks with his *** punches?? ***.
*** l'm playing like a noob.
Gotta think.
Right, that was beautiful! I should've kept on finishing him.
That's not too bad. l'll get closer to him...yes!
l don't think Zangiek can attack from below
when we do the ''cot cot cole cot.'' No idea of the actual name,
but digital voice says : ''cot cot cole cot''. I'll try this again.
When you're close enough... I think he did it now.
Damn, I must be careful! He already killed me once.
***, I won't make it. This challenge will be a disaster.
Now, that he's stunned, I'll finish him.
I'll try to sweep him away... Noo!! No,not this move! ***!!
The most destructive attack of the whole game.
***, I almost lost one life on this.
Good I selected level 3. Just imagine the carnage
it'd have been if I'd selected level 7.
l probably wouldn't have passed the first fight.
Ahh : USA-USA. So both Zangief and Guile represent the USA.
l thought it was only Guile and Zangief was a Portuguese or something.
He's so annoying. He uses Sonic Booms... no rather Flash Kick, I think.
Yeah, that's that... he just tried doing it.
***, there was some incredible lag right now!
That's not too bad. I'm handling this quite well.
He got me there. I'm playing very badly.
No,no,NO!!
That's beautlful! Damn, he didn't miss me...
That's beautiful! He didn't miss me with his reverse punch.
My thumb hurts like hell. I'm not used to the SNES anymore.
That's crazy. Normally the SNES controller's awesome, but here...
If you get used to the new analogic stick...
it's hard to readapt to the classical ones.
That *** got me with his Sonic Boom, even though
he shouldn't have had time to dodge it. No! Not this attack!
That's not too bad. Perfect, I killed him.
I didn't think it'd remove that much health.
Right! Some coffe now.
My coffee isn't that bad.
*** the... I'm choking on my coffee. The bonus stage!
l always do it like that; at least when I take Ken.
I normally choose either Ken or Blanka.
l used to handle about every character decently, but I was better
with Ken or Blanka, or Ken and Ryu since they both
have about the same techniques, but I prefer Ken because
he visually looks cooler, although Ryu's the most popular one.
However, l prefer Ken, with his red kimono.
Let's try to beat our friend Dhalsim.
l seriously can't do the Shoryiukens anymore.
Ahh, I start to remember how to do them. Let's go now!
l'll try firing a bunch of Hadoukens at him.
lt's working!
***, I didn't want to do this. Nevermind.
'Should be careful with the timer... damn, I was lucky here.
I passed just between him and his Joga Flame,
or Joga Fire, but I think the big one is Joga Flame.
Joga Fire are the small ones. He doesn't stop doing this.
Let's wait until the time out.
l finished him with this Hadouken. Beautiful!
I don't know what I've got, but I'm exhausted today.
I'm gonna take him down in 2 sec'. I hope to get
further than in my review. I lost to who back then?
I didn't get to the 4 bosses. I didn't... perfect, he's in for it.
I didn't get to Balrog and even less Vega. Vega's for me
the most annoying character in SF 2. Even Bison was ok.
If you know when to jump, you can beat Bison.
I spend sometimes 30min on Vega before beating him
and it was then due to sheer luck! When he starts hanging on the fence
or jumping around... Oh no, I think I lost against Honda back then.
He won't *** me this time. It's the return match!
Out of the question, you *** me.
***, he's stunned! I won't have time to...
Damnit! He was stunned and I could've thrown him,
but I played badly. Nevermind. ***, he's gonna do the ''ball.''
He almost did it, I think. Well, the ''ball'' is Blanka...
He did it now, that idiot. What a screwed up AI.
He did the ''cuttin' balls''. I call it like that, because
the digital voice does : ''ouch, ouch.'' So, with my friends, we called it
''cuttin' balls,'' but I'd be surprised if that's what he's actually saying.
Damn, you're annoying me! Your ''mille mains'' can't stop
the Hadoukens. That ***! ***! He got me there,
blocking me and performing the ''mille mains.''
''One thousand hands,'' probably. Beautiful english traduction made in Hooper.
Damn, each time I jump, he does this.
***. This is it. No...
NOOO!!!
THAT ***!!!
I'm dead. One life less. I'm almost certain it was Honda
who beat me last time on my review of SF 2. I can't get *** again.
Why do I have problems against Honda?? Honda's nothing at all.
Damn, I took Ken again. I should've taken Blanka. Nevermind.
I don't understand why he *** me.
Let's do it noob-like. It's even working.
I'm doing slow Hadoukens just to make it difficult for him.
I'll just stay in the corner. I can't take any risks anymore.
l think he's stunned.
Look at this! I did a perfect. Only with the Hadoukens!
So, that's the technique. If you want to beat Honda
at ''difficulty number 3,'' just do it like that.
I think, I was a bit lucky, though, because he's normally not so
cooperative. ***, I missed... or maybe not.
Anyway, I suggest doing it with the ''green button,''
in order to do slow Hadoukens and not the fast ones.
Let's stay there and wait. Now!
2 consecutive perfects against Elmondo Honda, even though I was
destroyed just before. I think I was somewhat lucky.
Especially because I found the right counter-attack.
Hadoukens work well against him, but not against everyone.
Damn, my thumb hurts like crazy. At least I did better than in my review of SF 2.
I'm at least happy about that. Against my brother!
Well, my brother regarding the technique.
***, I should've done it! The uppercut when he did it...
***!!
Oh, ***!!
***, no!!!
Hadouken battle!
Not the time to screw up.
The first one who screws up is ***.
***!! I got you! What a skill this Hooper!
Time over. Wait...
NOOOOOO!!!!!!
I lost! I can't believe it. What an idiot.
So close!!! Now this is my last chance.
I must get him twice. 'Not gonna be easy I'm afraid.
***!!!!!
***!!!!!
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's over. I can't believe it. Look at his health!
I'm put off. That's was pitful.
I'm on the verge of doing it again, looking
at how pitiful it was. Completely lamentable.
How could I lose against Ryu? He's not that difficult.
I've no excuse, though. It's completely my fault.
Zero skill or rather Hooper skill. Now I'll train since I'll have a rematch.
''Ryu, I'll have my revenge. (Incomphrehensible)... I well come back,''
or rather,''I will come back.'' ''I well come back'' is meaningless.
''I'll come back one day for you, Ryu.''
There's nothing to say. I'll retreat in my den and : sorry.
I apologize for this worthless and pathetic performance.
The Hooper is very, very sad.
GAME OVER!! 'Intruder destroyed'...
