Street Fighter Alpha TV Commercial

[bezoniebone]

I was in the 9th grade when I first saw that commerical, bring back memories.

[enzsal1]

Japenese is better why USA game commercials Are stupid and dumb in the 90s and 80s Japan is better

[Aminovitch92i]

killer graphics .. 

[KashgroundTM]

lol

[CrimsonChronicles]

press 4 for the weird face part

[oriramu]

Ahaha I remember this commercial

[damek666]

[WebVMan]

Press 3 to launch a fireball

Press 6 repetaedly to make the nerd get it on with his bad self.

Press 8 to kick a roach in the face

[ac19961]

lol

[pratikh]

I think there was an ad for SFA3 where it showed this guy fidgeting on the couch and it looked like was jackin off, but he was really playing the game.

[Wedhro]

And now I wonder why video-games used to be nerd-only stuff back then. A common teen would have been afraid of turning into this guy.

[DrtyDza]

0:10 OM NOM OM NOM OM NOM

[RikiOhRed]

Silly white guy!

[Rashomon1989]

(after 20 years)Thats guys is watching ,the video right now.

[Sonarghosts]

Wow that guy should have read the epilepsy warning before he started playing this.

[BioDG]

old school US game commercials were always SOOOO bad.

You guys should watch the japanese Street fighter commercials. They're better than not only the US commercials, but the street fighter MOVIES, too.

[tee4189]

dam i miss the 90's them were really the golden years dam take me back

[elcuervo64]

malisima

[coveragetw]

the guy's probably gonna get himself a stroke after beating the game.

[A1ienDrummer]

0:14 is why they invented Gamer Grub. :)

[mac11380acp]

was he holding an snes controller? i thought alpha wasnt on snes only alpha 2

[A1ienDrummer]

@mac11380acp No, it's a PS1 controller (the one without analog sticks)

[gedren56]

@mac11380acp nope, that's a psx controller

[TheRedCoke]

PAUSE AT 12SECONDS

[renefak]

@TheRedCoke freeky :)

[CoastalCarolinaVideo]

I love how he just slings a handful of cheese puffs into his mouth lol

[Joke267]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!

[avesesbarba]

that was so stupid, that i like it.

[GreenGearMood]

BUY THIS YOU FUCKIN' NERD.

[guIIiver]

Good to see an ad that knows exactly who its target demographic is for once.

[FargoJ02]

God what a corny commercial...

[INOWilove]

I can't wait to see the cockraches alpha

[KeijiDragon]

The commercial is titled "Roaches Below".

Two directors worked on the commercial: Richard Kizue-Blair who is noted for his work on Nintendo, Honda, and Nike commercials. Getting the cockroaches to act as Street Fighters involved the special effects talent of director Boyd Shermis, known for his work on the movies Batman and Speed, as well as commercials for Coke and M&Ms.

Found out about it on this article (Google it): Capcom Promotes Latest Blockbuster With Bugs.

Dumb commercial, BTW.

[kevinbollers2]

yoo, if my friends played Street fighter Alpha like this in my house id have to Shoryuken them myself!!

[xquickstrykex]

they shoulda got this guy back for a ssf4 commercial

[FlameAdder]

It's like those bad NES commercials where they'd rap about the "great graphics!" SFA1 was crap, anyway.

[Sorrygorilla]

they forgot to mention the insanely long load times before each match...

[ZDLR221]

i like the part of 0:06 by Ken scream death cry.

"AAAAAAGGHHH!"

[Zhanghe923]

that dorky guy sounds like scooby 0:13

[forcethrown]

I DON'T REMEMBER THIS COMMERCIAL!

[todabeast]

I would love to see him on an arcade stick

[Lefiath]

5* for cockroaches! :)

[Doom2Guy]

What a lame commercial.

The cockroaches are a nice touch, but the ad doesn't make the game look good at all.

"Killer Graphics" is just about the worst thing you can say.

[XxDestroyahXx]

@Doom2Guy Lol remember it was 1995 those graphics wern't bad compared to other games at the time man

[Doom2Guy]

The game still looks good, I'm not saying it doesn't

"Killer graphics" is just a horrible term

[townsjim]

@Doom2Guy it was the nineties, back then marketing people thought it was cool to insert stupid buzzwords into the commercials

[tung1588]

that was gross

[ARIETGXXX]

WARRIORS DREAMS!!!!!!!

[GrayFoxTheEnigma]

lol why are the guys in those old commercials always super nerds xD

[darkswordsmansol]

He looks kinda like the kid from the old Streets of Rage 2 commercial.

[dgarcia626]

he shoulda been using an arcade stick

[kitsuneswordsman]

Those cockroaches should be new characters in SSF4 :D

[INCOHERENCIA]

asi juegan los tarados

[CineRecon]

Wait that guy's having an seizure! Somone hold his head!! Quickly!

[youhou21]

i been looking for this commercial.

[pandaumk3]

"... killer Graphics..."

Those were the days :)

[MonkeyDPunch]

yes those were!

[curewindy2]

He is キモい ゲームオタク

[rumbazz]

alpha 1 sucked ass compared to alpha 2. Don't get me started on Alpha 3.

[Doom2Guy]

What's bad about Alpha 3 compared to 2? I haven't played them much, but they both seem fine to me

[scir91]

alpha 3 has a lot of hit detection errors which makes for an unconsistent game.

[Doom2Guy]

Thank you, that's the first time I've heard a reason to why Alpha 3 is inferior.

But did they fix those errors in Alpha 3 Max?

[superdeat]

Fightin' Roaches! Hell yes!

[Mapleholic]

LMAO THOSE COCKROACHES

[KamenKami]

is that matt hill's voice?

[BodyGarth95]

some one has been smoking the good stuff

[guitarfreak127]

They should've made the cockroaches playable characters.

[leslielove]

since 1996

[killerms2221]

NOM NOM POPCORN NOM

[chinox12002]

the commerical was meant to be cheesy. awesome nonetheles. no need for hardcore metal playing in the bg like the new sfiv commericals. i guess today's kids take everything too serious.

[gamegfan1990]

That add made no sense......(sigh) i miss the 90's

[HyperSonicXtreme]

The nerd is taking this game too fucking seriuosly LOL!!

[pprq55]

wow new atacks and the show the shoryuken jajaj by the way this must be the worst comercial ever in the history of videogames

[darkxaur]

Ok, who let those people into my house to film that advert?

[gekopa]

It was all shit till the cockroaches started fighting... THAT WAS FEKIN HILARIOUS!

[shiranui]

What the fuck is wrong with that guy. sit down still and maybe youll win the fight ha ha.

[IndigoR]

lol I faintly remember this.

[WalksUnseen]

Worst commercial ever??

[syxx573]

what a crappy commercial

[joemusashi27]

this commercial is terrible

[PresidentBagel]

dumb commercial, but the alpha series was always my favorite of the franchise.

[Atomduck]

The Dude has a freaking seizure when playing the game!

[PHILRYABKIN]

Was that guy playing Street Fightr Alpha on a playstation or SNES?

[verminslayer]

playstation

[Snackumms]

was he having a heart attack?

[Rickycatpa]

Oh, man!!Why the cockroaches??

[zandkun]

THIS IS POLARITY

[towys007]

emm psx sucks and n64 is more better

[Tatsumaki069]

i cannot begin to tell you how accurate your opinion is man thumbs up 4 sho

[akumacornflakes]

Looks like Capcom forgot they made a Playstation game, and decided to make a Genesis commercial XD

[0hBeenly]

I wonder how that guy would react in a SF tournament.

[hakulover4ever]

He'd have a seizure xD

[Bram25]

Is it true that I hear one of the classic Aphex Twin tunes on the end of the commercial? :o

[djalmabereta]

better than the king of fighters. Street fighter alpha is a classic! Good times

[duffers]

Or rather I was simply using the format you seem to base your opinion on.

Something tells me you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[syrus2k]

I think that's an old aphex twin track in the background..

[duffers]

English classes beckon ya twat. It's you're, not your. Simple syntax that. Your suggests possession, whereas you're is shorthand and is a pretty lazy way of saying you are.

Someone with Ryu in their name has the cheek to mention fanfiction. You must love irony, you daft cunt.

I couldn't give a shit whether goons on YouTube like or dislike what I say, I have better things to worry about.

SF3 was shite, by most accounts. They put the series on hiatus because it was shit.

[duffers]

Obviously a mistake, exchange lame for last and at least quote me correctly. Anyway Captain Gobshite, if you want to go down the grammar road, practise what you preach eh? 'sega genesis'? Products should usually be capitalised, you fucking mong, as should abbreviations, such as SF. All of your posts amount to jack shit, haven't you got anything better to do with your time?

[duffers]

Hah troll with constructive posts? Name me the lame good SF game. I infact like both series, so nice going dickhead.

[LordRegal]

Street Fighter: The Movie game.

[Destructopodx]

Mortal kombat is just a cheap tacky american fighting game though...

After you see all the fatalities thats it, because it's not like it's a game of depth or skill is it..?

On the other hand there are still many high profile streetfighter tornaments, even to this day, across many different versions of the game...

Really can't say the same for the cheap ninjas in hig-viz jackets & bad actors in spandex button masher can we..?

[duffers]

Since tacky is objective, I'm inclined to disagree. Plus, SF is hardly the home of originality, an American in a ki? Cool! Way to go on being a Japanophile aswell, that's not been old.

That's where you lack basic knowledge about MK, right off the bat. MK requires more skill because everyone is very similar. Your fighter choice will not be a aid or handicap.

My choosing Ryu can greatly increase my chances of winning, with some basic knowledge of moves, rather than say T.Hawk.

[duffers]

Lastly, 27 years of age (supposedly), and you still think mass opinion is actually worth anything?

Listen, one of the biggest collective of popular opinions voted in the National Socialism Party, otherwise known as the Nazis, and look how that turned out.

When you can actually think for yourself, using only your brain, then get back to me.

[Destructopodx]

Nonsense...

Badly animated z-list actors & an Unbalanced moveset paired with silly levels of violence to cover up the games flaws...

That is all that game was..

I don't see any world mortal Kombat tournaments on any of those early MK games, & do you know why..?

Because it's not a game you could play at pro level like SF2 it just doesn't have the same balanced gameplay mechanics..

Now sir please this is an old argument, which you won't win by calling me a nazi...

[duffers]

You have evidently never played MK. Joke's over, you can piss off home now. If you wish to debate something, like what is better, try playing and understanding both. You'll look much more credible.

Your glasses are probably not on, that's why.

I said the biggest collective of mass opinion supported the Nazis and got them in power, not once did I call you a Nazi. I will call you a dumb prick though, try reading and comprehending what I say. Engage your brain, you'll find it quite agreeable.

[Destructopodx]

Had both MK 1-2 on the Megadrive...

And MK 3 & Ultimate MK on playstation...

So i know all about repeating the teleport move over & over again until you win...

Then entering a sort of code to turn your opponent into a baby or decapitate them, while they can't move or counter you...

On another note as well you don't have an advantage with Ryu, he's the beginner character...

You should watch some of the high level tournament vids on you-tube...

[duffers]

Had but didn't play, as I said.

I know all about the Hadouken move over and over aswell. Any fighting game in the hands of someone cheap will result in the same combo or moves, no fighting game on the planet doesn't suffer from the possibility of that.

You enter that 'code' after two rounds, when the fight is lost. You make it sound like it's after every round. You really haven't played MK before, have you?

Everyone know's Ryu is the best fighter in every SF, with the best and easist moves.

[Destructopodx]

Like i said watch some of the high profile tournament vids, Ryu gets used very little...

I just like with deep gameplay, ie combo's, super cancels, counter moves & finishing moves that (gasp) you can actually perform on an opponent who can defend himself...

Mortal Kombat games were okay for laugh at the time, but just ain't in the same league as Streetfighter or KOF or Mark of the wolves, or Last Blade gameplay-wise...

[duffers]

What a surprise. A tournament with experienced players, using someone more advanced than Ryu, what are the chances?

I like having gameplay not being overtaken by endless combos, and MK will allow you to perform a counter in its own fashion.

You seem too thick to understand the idea of fatalities. They occur at the end of the fight, when two rounds have been won. They do not occur in regular gameplay. I repeat, not in regular gameplay. Stop confusing what they are, with your wrong perceptions.

[Destructopodx]

I'm sorry did you say something..?

I know when the fatalities occur i said when you win if you look back...

I also said i did own the games, thats how i know there isn't a lot of depth to them.

Now if you'll excuse me i'm done with you..

[duffers]

You've made it quite evident you don't know anything. Enjoy the tournament videos, champ.

[Destructopodx]

Thanks!

I will..

[bigphil0005]

there was Hara-Kiri if you didnt want someone to do a Fatality + i think there was one MK game where if you do it quick enough b4 someone does there fatality you can regain a tad bit health to continue the fight for a last chance to win the fight

[supremebeing87]

What you were talking about with the health part was in MK 3, and it was where the person who actually WON the match could hold runn and press down down and the other character would gain about 1/7 of their health back, it was called mercy.

[bigphil0005]

ty i couldnt remember what it was called :P

[missvidabom]

mortal kombat and street fighter. classic. =)

[RadicalAkira]

Dang, SF's nice but this commercial's lame. Killer graphics yeah no problem, I can agree with that. The game was accompanied by a wuss, though.

[cococolonel]

um yeah...why's the guy having a spaz attack?

[duffers]

These ads kinda compound how lame Street Fighter has been in recent years.

[Ilikepiemaster]

ur such a douche u asshole!! street fighter is not lame

[rrrocksmahsocks]

Wow. If the people who made this commercial can get their crap on TV then I must be able to as well.

[metalgear01]

the fuck??????

[Netlocd]

LMFAOgus.

[MrPriestZXCx]

if this game was ported to the wii, it would be a massacare

[aikonmk]

That guy looks like he either has tourettes or epilepsy.

[Czooks]

One of the best games ever

[genx1973]

[VoiceToncho]

[VirtualSpaghetti]

[figment1988]
