This is the 605th original article of the Old Boy Game Box, by @Overlord Crab
Some time ago, playing the game of the year with a childhood diehard on the simulator, this old friend who has been friends with the old crab for thirty years suddenly asked:
"And the earliest Street Fighter? I suddenly want to play that version, I miss it."
I was a little confused by his question-
"Which? The earliest, can only choose Takashi and Ken? ”
Then he replied, no, it's the one with only eight candidates, and the military guy can cast that without a shadow. At this time, I suddenly realized that he was talking about the earliest "Street Fighter 2nd Generation"!
This question triggered a piece of thinking about the old crab, it seems that many friends only have a specific impression of the classic game of that year, but they know very little about the name of the game itself! It's no wonder, after all, everyone was only a child about ten years old, and the language problem was a natural obstacle, and even the arcade bosses of that year knew little about the name of the game, what "Eight Street Fighter" and "Four Heavenly Kings" such names were pasted on the top of the machine, and in the future, there will be magic modifications such as "Falling Dragon" and "Three Holy Swords", no wonder everyone knows little about the correct name of the game. Let's talk to you today about some of the real names of the games, as well as the laughable typos in game magazines.
"Street Fighter 2" must have dominated the world in the early arcade room, and I remember that there were even arcade rooms that only placed various versions of Street Fighter 2. So how many versions of Street Fighter 2 have there since its birth? And what is the difference between these versions?
Street Fighter 2: World Fighter is the original version of Street Fighter 2, and only eight basic fighters can be selected, although they also have to challenge the final four in the end, but they cannot be directly selected. The earliest version of the impression is very terrifying, a Ascending Dragon Fist can knock out 50% of the opponent's physical strength, and each person's move is hard and straight, and those who will use it feel very useful, and those who don't understand it feel too difficult. There is also Takashi's home stadium Suzaku City in this version, and the plaque of "Wind Forest Volcano" in Sun Tzu's Art of War can be destroyed. This version is undoubtedly best known for Gu Lie's "No Shadow Cast" and the "Golden Rooster Independence" in the invincible AT field.
"Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition" is the second version of "Street Fighter 2", adjusting the balance of damage and hard straightness, fixing a lot of bugs, and redrawing the character avatar, see if Long in the picture below feels a lot of vicissitudes. The most important thing is that the "Final Four" has finally become an optional character, so this version is the first "Four Heavenly Kings" version, and the folk also have the title of "12 Street Fighter".
The pirated magic modified "Dragon Falling" was also made on the basis of this version, and I remember that I skipped class with the old watch and ran out to play, and only the two of us kept rubbing the joy of the screen fluctuation fist in the entire arcade room. Only a few months later, this version launched "Street Fighter 2: Hot War" and "Street Fighter 2 TURBO: Hot War", "Hot War" is only a small change, the later changes highlight the "TURBO", which can improve the rhythm of the battle in the machine setting, since the end of the previous "Street Fighter 2" era.
After experiencing various small changes like squeezing toothpaste before, CAPCOM saw the emergence of many latecomer competitors in the market, and the awakening of crisis consciousness decided to retreat and concentrate on practice. "Super Street Fighter 2: New Challengers", launched a year later, entered the era of Street Fighter 2. The game once again added four optional characters, and the original character's moves were greatly improved, and Chun-Li was finally able to make waves.
In the folk game, it was crowned "16-Man Street Fighter" name, and a few months later, "Super Street Fighter 2X" added body and mid-range skills on the basis of the previous version, redrawn and added action frames to make the characters' movements smoother, and the most important thing was the introduction of the super special skill system of the SUPER slot - as early as a year ago, "Dragon Tiger Fist" Sakasaki Ryo played the Overlord Shoro Fist, at this time "Street Fighter 2" special moves are more like catching up with the trend.
Finally, to talk about a light topic, when I checked the information, I saw the typos that appeared in the "GAMEST" magazine issued in Japan that year, which is really hilarious, including "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" as a "starving legend" and "hunger legend", in fact, you can also glimpse that the input method of the island country also has an association function.
At this time, I can't help but remember that the "Samurai Shodown 3" Saturn pirated disc of that year was impressively printed with "Soft Red Lang Matchless Sword", and the friends laughed on the spot: "This final BOSS is really soft!" ”
In those years, domestic game magazines also had the same common problem, and the impression was that the "licker" of a certain issue of "Resident Evil 2" was written as "sweet-tooth", and was also complained by readers: "My cute licker was written by you like this, and directly made up the appearance of a little fat mound!" ”
In addition, there are those who write "money" as "iron", "supplements" as free "gifts", and even more egregious the name of the reader "Ren Tianlang" to "Ren Tian Wolf". =, This destroyed a handsome and good boy into a fierce beast, but it contained all kinds of evil deeds in hell back then, and this incident was later apologized to readers by the editor.
The problem of typos is also an unavoidable problem for me and many other codeword farmers, and I also chatted with Lao Lei before, and found that the AI error correction function of the current writing assistance software is really powerful, and I know how to change many typos in combination with the context semantics before and after, which can be regarded as a peace of mind for the majority of writers. Finally, thank you all for reading.
