DoABarrelRoll Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Good Day, I never thought that many of the street fighter 2 stages were based on real locations, after discovering this I made a list of the locations that served as inspiration. If you know any other scenarios of another game in the street fighter series post in the topic. Ken and Zangief's stage are inspired by the movie Hard Times (1975) staring Charles Bronson (includes the fights that happened in these scenes). Ryu - Matsue Castle , Shimane, Japan, Guile - F-16 Fighting Falcons, Nellis Air Force Base, USA Ken - Hard Time Movie Balrog - Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas, USA , Golden Nugget Sagat - Reclining Buddha, Angthong, Thailand M. Bison - Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand Blanka - Amazon Houseboats Chun li - Shopping District, taiping road M. bison - Temple Ramayana Dhalsim - Jaipur, Rajastán, India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 As a kid back in 1992, I used to endlessly play Sagat's theme over and over and daydream about actually going to Thailand and find Sagat's stage so I could train in there and become a Muai Tai master myself.. But now that I finally found out the place actually exists, I'm a little too old and broke to go.. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is actually enlightening but I already thought at one point that some of the locations aren't just fictional and could actually be an already existent location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 That's pretty cool that SF2 had such neat inspirations from actual places in the world. It's still one of my favorite fighting games to this day. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
