- TRIVIA -

Capcom's first one-on-one fighting game.

The original location test version of this game used pressure sensitive pads (Mechatronics) to measure the three strengths of attack used in the game - the bonus stages were unregulated tests of strength where the harder you hit the pad, the more you would score. You can imagine how much abuse the machines took, apparently one individual climbed up on top of the machine and drop kicked it to get a high score. After a large number of injuries and a high damage bill, Capcom replaced the system with individual buttons for each strength - the now common 6 button layout.

'Ryu' can mean 'dragon' and 'Ken' mean 'fist' or 'punch'. The two names together roughly make the phrase 'dragon punch'. The dragon punch move has been copied over and over in most if not all subsequent fighting games released.

Ryu and Sagat were mostly based on 'Yoshiji Soeno', a 'Kyokushin Karate legend' and 'Reiba', the 'Dark Lord of Muaythai' from an old Japanese martial art comics called 'Karate Baka Ichidai'.

Mike Bison is Capcom's homage to Mike Tyson.

In the England (Birdie) stage a poster for 'The Velvet Underground' (a cult 1960's rock band) is clearly visible alongside another poster for 'Ian Dury and the Blockheads'. The Blockheads were a popular British pub-rock band who disbanded in 1982 but reformed in 1987 for a tour of Japan, two months before the release of this game. A third poster advertises 'Ristorante Donnaloia' an expensive Italian restaurant in Kobe, which still exists to this day. Also on this stage the name and likeness of at that time Capcom USA Vice President of Sales and Marketing 'Bill Cravens' is grafittied on the shutter in front of the 'Block Heads' pub.

Alfa Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Capcom Game Music Vol.2 - 28XA-203) on 25/03/1988.

I didn't know that the Great Tiger participated in the Street Fighter tournament!

[PunkLobo]

@furyberserk Rumors says that he trained Vega.

[SoulPech]

something i just noticed...every time when ryu wins the round and when the points are tallied...it sounds like Mike Tyson's Punch Out with Little Mac whens a fight O.O

[furyberserk]

It would be cool if Geki was Ibuki's trainer... just to connect the dots.

[jeremycards]

I bet Ryu never tough he would end up fighting Viewtiful Joe

[7Dejon]

geki is the old vega of this game

[7Dejon]
