STREET FIGHTER II Japanese win quote compilation

About this page

This is a page that lists (to my knowledge) all the win quotes from the 90’s Japanese versions of SF2. The text of the Japanese quotes were taken from kousetsu’s work. They seem to be accurate when I check.

These translations are not official, nor do I make any pretense that these are good translations (they are, in retrospect, a little bit—or incredibly—awkward in terms of the English I have used). Hopefully, though, it does give you a little bit of the personality and flavor that went missing from the English versions of Street Fighter.

Chun has spunk, rather than just bragging about being the strongest woman in the world. And even when having the last word, Ryu waxes philosophical, and Honda jokes around. Guile is not supposed to be a womanizer, but rather a sensitive type, which explains pretty much every Guile clone that’s confused American gamers over the years with their... uh... emo-ness. But do note that Guile also lets Capcom vent at their old-tyme rival SNK a little (note that one of his quotes almost references Fatal Fury 2’s subtitle). And win quotes do fun reference stuff like that sometimes, as many fans of later Capcom fighters may know.

Oh, and that red-clad cape-wearing megalomaniac? He eats babies, just so you know. He does not, in fact, eat babies. Seems to have fought them, though; at this point I wouldn’t put it past him.

Note that I use the the Japanese names on this page, so M. Bison = Boxer, Balrog = Claw, and Vega = Dictator. So, with no further commentary....

Which quotes when?

The letters preceding each quote indicate their age. For most characters:

a

Used in the first 5 releases in the series (WW, CE, HF, NC, ST)

b

Used in the 4 releases from CE onward

c

Used in the 2 releases from NC onward

However, Vega’s quotes were completely redone in NC, so for him:

a

Used in WW, CE, and HF

b

Used in CE and HF

c

Used in NC and ST

All quotes from the four characters introduced in NC are used in both NC and ST.

Gōki, being in ST only, only has quotes from ST.

A few quotes are gender-specific:

(M)

denotes a quote used against male characters; they will not be uttered against the female characters (Chun-Li and Cammy), barring debug mode access and such.

(F)

denotes a quote used against female characters; they will not be uttered against the male characters (i.e. not Chun-Li and not Cammy), except that one Vega uses againt Hawk (which is a bug).

The quotes generally take their NC forms here (there are some exceptions). For WW and the SFC versions of WW, HF, and NC, kanji weren’t used.

みっともない顔……
自分の未熟さを呪うことね。

An ugly face.... Something to curse your inexperience for.

あら、そんなに早く降参しちゃっていいの？

Glory to the British Empire!!

勝利への執念が足りないようね。
その甘さがあなたの弱点よ。

It seems your obsession for victory isn’t quite enough. That naïveté is your weak point.

幾度もの修羅場をくぐってきた私に、
