No, Jeff Bogard is a guy in a blue Kung Fu attire with a moustache.

He looks asian.

Takuma and Jeff Bogard are the main characters of this game.

The music in this stage is the same used in the Michael Max's stage in Fatal Fury.

This is amazing for '89!

@TwilightArts Yeah the sprite character are huge. What the video does not represent well is that the animation is smooth too.

First fighting game by SNK and the first fighting game where normal moves can be part of a string of combos. The combo system is simple, but it is the first of its kind. Street Smart is also the first fighting game with co-operative play.

It will soon be released in SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 0.

I used to love this game in the arcade. Now I have with MAME and I couldn't ask for any more nostalgia than that.

@puertorock1976 I looks awesome playing in the arcade cabinet back in the day. The sprite characters are huge!

[puertorock1976]

@narox Very big sprites indeed for 1989

Does anyone know the story behind this game?Is it set in SouthTown?

[figment1988]

@leonard316 the game takes place across the US in cities like San Francisco, Washington DC, and Miami (or is it Daytona Beach?)

[leonard316]

Long live SNK!!

[narox]

[leonard316]

Hey isn't that background thme from the original Fatal Fury?

[sompret]

@leonard316

Quite close; this BGM was actually the BGM used for when both 1P and 2P challenge each other.

[bomtenho]

@leonard316

yes, and it's also the background music from dj boy on sega genesis (boss music)

[davidzel]

I remember this game being hard to play because of all that damn sliding around.

[JBY2005]

Dude in the green tanktop in the beginning looks like the dad from Orange County Choppers!

[narox]

ROFL, that is him!

[figment1988]

@JBY2005 he also reminds me of Scott "Big Poppa Pump" Steiner
