It is impossible for you not to know Street Fighter II, but for education I will introduce it: it is the most famous video game of fight of all time , the most influential and the most copied. With SF II, Capcom not only dominated arcade halls, but also homes with countless console versions released. All thanks to a gameplay like no other fighting game, very fluid and characterized by the special attacks of each character. The Street Fighter II intro, legend In addition, Street Fighter II was the game that implemented the combos for the first time, thanks to a bug that allowed to interrupt the animation of the character . If we clicked the button at the right time, we did not have to wait for the previous attack to end to attack again, which was known as "supers". Like all other parts of the game, the introduction has also gone down in history . Instead of trying to tell us a story that we will not read in the middle of the arcade, Street Fighter II begins with a simple animation of two fighters. After checking with each other's eyes, one of them punches the other, and the camera goes up to the title of the game. A simple presentation, but that counted everything we had to know. They were on the street and they were fighters . There was only one small detail left unexplained. Who were these guys? Those unfamiliar characters were not part of the squad of fighters in the game, which fueled rumors that they were secret characters that were only unlocked when we met certain conditions (we were young, what explanation could we not give?). Another theory is that they were Joe and Mike, two characters from the first Street Fighter. Yes, there was an SF before SF II, incredible as it sounds, although it is not much less famous or had such memorable characters. Many thought that their presence in the intro was a way to pass the witness to the new characters, much more charismatic. Over time we have accepted that these two characters are not special , are two random men who are stuck in the streets as if it were the most normal in the world. Until now. The mystery of the characters of the intro of Street Fighter II, solved Capcom, the developer of the game, has updated the official website of Street Fighter including two new profiles dedicated to these fighters. It turns out that the one that hits is called Scott , and the one that receives the punch is called Max . They are not the most original names, but at least they have finally gained fame. Can we control these characters? It is unlikely, although the artists have created versions of the characters inspired by the visual style of Street Fighter V , the latest installment of the saga. However, the Capcom website also has profiles of other minor characters that have never been tracked. Mystery solved? Not so fast, because there is another mysterious fighter in Street Fighter II . It all started when some Internet news users (similar to current forums) complained that the intro was racist because it showed a white man hitting a black man. So Capcom reacted, perhaps too much, and in successive versions of SF II changed to Max by another personage, this one of white skin . Of course, then the forums were once again filled with accusations of racism, this time because they believed that Capcom had something against black characters in their games. Which shows two things: that the Internet has not changed anything in 25 years, and that you should never pay attention to what strangers tell you on the Internet Also you can look here Street Fighter characters thanks to emagtrends.com
