Gamest Cup Videos 050394

ArgusDCssf2X uploaded more videos from the 1994 Super Turbo national tourney. Take a look at the player report for profiles of Katou (加藤) "Foosuke" (DeeJay, Dhalsim, etc.) and Okunishi (奥西) "Ikuradon" (Blanka, Chun.)

Part One

Tokyo area qualifiers. The Chun-Li player here, Ohnuki (大貫), isn't the modern SFA2, 3S, ST, SF4 champ; they have different first names.

Part Two

Main event round one. Some footage of Ikuradon's hop trickery.

Part Three

Quarterfinals. Yoga Foolishness @4:14

Part Four

Semifinals. Don't miss Foosuke's Nagata Shougatsu Happy New Year Special flub at the end.

Part Five

Third place match.

Part Six

Finals. Posted here a while back with pictures of the finalists.

  2. Unfortunately not. Also the players in these videos are identified by only real names. Since I don't know many of those for the current crew I can't say who was there way back then.

    Somewhere along the way (in between SFA3 and CVS1?) there was a transition from using real names to nick names. This happened in both US and Japan I guess concurrent with more people getting on the internet.

  4. It's funny how game-play dramatically changed over the years, all those throw attempts aren't as safe as they were :)

    I really think SSF2 blew all the top players out of the arcades @1993/1994 :(
