Jmcrofts and GuileWinQuote team up to test each other’s knowledge of the deep oddities
The Street Fighter franchise has been around since 1987 with dozens of different games and versions that all included unique secrets hidden below the surface.
Many have become well known now like battling Akuma in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, but what are the most obscure Easter eggs across the entire franchise that almost no one is aware of?
The great Jmcrofts and GuileWinQuote recently joined forces to test not only their own knowledge of the deepest and weirdest secrets across all of Street Fighter but also that of the audience.
GuileWinQuote digs especially deep for his first lore pull going all the way back to Fighting Street, which is what they called the original game on TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine.
This version of the game specifically has an extra ending not found in the arcade that can only be viewed by beating it four times in one sitting, which is very hard to do in the first place, where Ryu gets back off the plane and poses for the media.
We’ve never heard of that one, but have you? What about the moving rocks on Sagat’s stage in SF2?
Jmcrofts goes to Street Fighter Alpha 3 where Rolento’s Take No Prisoners Super ironically cannot be blocked by Cody at all though that might have been a glitch since it was changed in later releases.
GuileWinQuote follows that up by taking his co-host by complete surprise by going back to an Easter egg input that apparently only works in vanilla Street Fighter 4 to ever so slightly change a stage.
There’s plenty more discussed too going back to Street Fighter Alpha’s jump lock, Dan’s double dance, obscured posters, order of Super Turbo cheats, and the difference in dizzy items.
And then they have an extremely convoluted way to find a random Doraemon sprite in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike that took 20 years to discover by compounding glitch on top of glitch on top of glitch.
The developers are still trying to pack secrets into even Street Fighter 6 where Shin Akuma can be used after jumping through some odd hoops, but players have gotten so much better at finding them almost immediately.
We highly recommend checking out the new video from Jmcrofts and GuileWinQuote below to learn weird facts about Street Fighter, and let us know in the comments which you’d heard of before and what took you by surprise.
