THIS is How EVERY Street Fighter II Fighter Was Made...

Street Fighter II gave us one of the most iconic fighting game casts ever created — but where did these characters actually come from? In this video, we look at the real inspirations, design ideas, development history, and surprising facts behind the characters of Street Fighter II. From Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Blanka, Zangief, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Sagat, M. Bison and the rest of the roster, we explore how Capcom’s artists and developers shaped their appearances, personalities, fighting styles, nationalities, and identities. Some were inspired by martial artists, wrestlers, movies, pop culture, stereotypes, and real-world fighting styles, while others changed dramatically during development before becoming the characters fans recognize today. If you enjoy Street Fighter history, character design, fighting game trivia, retro gaming, and behind-the-scenes game development, this is a deep dive into how the legendary Street Fighter II roster came to life. #StreetFighter #StreetFighter2 #FightingGames
