lol aren't you that guy who played in Salute Your Shorts on Nickelodeon (as per your pic) Budnik, or whatever his name was???.......anyway...don't hate on the original SF...the whole point of the game IS to randomly pull off one of the special moves or spend the rounds trying to do as many as you can...the arcade version is better because the joystick makes it easier to pull off random crap...so just practice, as is required to master any SF game..." I wish you good luck!" ^_^
I remember when the game FIRST came out. Unlike the sequels, which had 6 buttons, the first one had TWO buttons (kick & punch) the harder you hit the buttons, the stronger you strikes were. I saw one guy wind up and POUND the punch button three times in a few seconds; the round was OVER.
Meh..U snoob .. that first strret fighter actually took skill..i used to beat all the guys and sagat only with dragon punchs you need to get a rythym timing when pushing the buttons.
actually the specail moves are quite easy,your just not doing it right you have to do the comand combination then keep your finger on the attack button then do the combinattion again then tap the button you were holding.
And the bonus rounds were way cool too. Back then, we had to put quarters in the machine and the bonus rounds in SF1 and SF2 gave us a little more value to our quarters.
This game rocked when it was in the arcades back in 1987!! Only the slickest guys in the arcade could pull off the specials and a lot of people were afraid to play the game because it had so many buttons.
Then in 1991 when they released SF2, we were totally blown away and the guys who ruled SF2 at the arcades when it first came out, were the guys who played SF1 because suddenly, the specials were a breeze to pull off.
Hey chef... you forgot to mention about the original arcade buttons. They were pressure sensitive. The harder you pressed, the harder you punched! Though revolutionary at the time, it just ended up with a bunch of broken controls that Capcom had to replace with the now standard "Low", "Medium", "High" buttons.
I actually remember playing this one at someone's house. Yeah, the guy was a spoiled brat who actually had the arcade machine AT HIS HOUSE. I can tally that one up for reasons why you don't find me over there anymore. :-P
If this game was that popular in the 80s, what inspired them to make the upgrades for the ever superior sequels?
2:24 - HYAH...OH NO! - The funniest thing to ever come out of Ryu's mouth in this entire video.

Respect to Capcom and SF1!!

Heh, glad you did this. I'd never actually seen the game before. Damn, you can't look at Ryu's hair without wearing shades.

In the arcade the special moves were easy to do. The first time I played after years of training in SF2 I finished the game.
