Mind you, since we're dealing with one of those things that's so bad it's good, we kinda do mean "best." By all means, enjoy the best that 1995's American Street Fighter cartoon has to offer in a video love-hatingly assembled by Youtube's theswitcher, posted after the break. Marvel at Guile's uncanny resistance to lightning! Gape at Blanka's earnest growling! Recoil in laughter at M. Bison's inappropriate giddiness! Scour the screen for Ken and Ryu's obviously missing surfboards! And then wish that any and all problems, no matter how minor, could simply be dispatched with a well-placed SONIC BOOM!
[Via Capcom-Unity]
Don't forget Part 2!

So bad.

LOL, this is what youtubers would call a youtube poop.
Josh @ Mar 11th 2009 12:48AM
No, this *should* have been made into a poop, though.

I loved when they highlighted Chun Li yelling "FIREBALL!"

I could have sword I watched such a couple of montages a couple months ago by the same guy. I guess he must've revamped 'em, 'cause I don't remember a lot of these bits...!
Points to note:
•Everyone is the same height, and everyone is ten heads tall.
•Ki projectiles look like hairy balls of light... o__O
•I can't believe I thought this show was awesome when I was a kid...
Mayne @ Mar 11th 2009 12:06AM
Also, I wish I had a sword, but alas, I only swore...
This cartoon still blows, though.
Obie @ Mar 11th 2009 12:16AM
That was awesome! SONIC BOOM!
Ranko @ Mar 11th 2009 1:41AM

Why is Sagat's head so small?

My god, When I saw the Street Fightr movie, I said, "This is a new low for gaming", but later saw this and said: "This is a new low for gaming".
How low can you go?
NoughtSoClever @ Mar 11th 2009 10:02AM
This is old...and old low.

Oh, the horror, it's so...so...early AMERICAN!!!
Wow, I totally forgot about this show...yah its as bad as I remember. Wasn't it on USA network? Hey joystiq, can you find the Mortal Kombat show that was on around the same time? Bet theres some shits n' giggles in that one too!
heh eheh.....akuma is so white....Chun Li is at her most frightening...blanka is so Claw = "I'll get you next time Gadget...NEXT TIIIIIME!!!"
Fave quote: "Ah Chun-Li, ever the poet" Blanka...oh shudder....

Yes! Yes!

Who does Ken's voice? I swear I've heard him in like seven other Saturday morning cartoons of old.
BluntSA @ Mar 11th 2009 10:51AM
I'm really really disappointed that this video didn't have M. Bison's "YES! YES!" moment.
That's the funniest part.
Mayne @ Mar 11th 2009 11:27AM
I think it was on an older medley of clips that guy put together... Don't know why he would've included it before and not now, but... meh...
I'd just like to show up at Capcom and pitch them MY idea for a TV/movie extension of the franchise, one that doesn't suck. Hell, it wouldn't even really be "my" idea; just stick to the premise of the games and center the plot around a series of tournaments. This whole "every character is part of some goody-two-shoes paramilitary special forces group, or they're a high-ranking official in Shadowloo" shtick has got to go...
The characters aren't interesting because of how useful their "super powers" would be in a covert mission... They're interesting because of their individual backstories and how much room that offers for expansion...

Better than the anime that came with SF4? Maybe... lol

Come on people. Compared to the overblown anime and movies this was as good as it got. I especially loved Cammy's infatuation with Guile, Ken's defeat of Akuma, Blanka's transformation and the final battle between Guile and Bison just before the nuclear missiles where about to destroy the earth. As usual everyone exaggerates. It really wasn't that bad.
CJLopez @ Mar 11th 2009 12:04PM
No wonder i find Street Fighter Victory like a master piece
Joseph @ Mar 11th 2009 12:49PM
Anyone remember the cross over episodes on USA Network's saturday morning lineup with Thor? And how Chun Li "fell in love" with him?
WINterfang @ Mar 11th 2009 2:32PM
So old...so.so.old.
WINterfang @ Mar 11th 2009 2:43PM
And by OLD I mean new.
MonitorDustWipes @ Mar 11th 2009 6:05PM
Wow. I don't have the words to describe what I'm feeling now. Something negative, I think.
ManekiNeko @ Mar 11th 2009 10:46PM
I'm confused. Was this all footage from the Street Fighter cartoon? Because there were snippets with the Alpha characters and a more Japanese art design.
Palmer @ Mar 12th 2009 2:48AM
Oh god, watching that must be what people on an acid trip feel like.
