In a 1991 interview with Yoshiki Okamoto published in vol. 62 of Gamest magazine, he was asked how development on the game started. He responded:

"We started out wanting to make a fighting game. The game we finished then, however, was not Steet Fighter II. It was Final Fight. We originally titled it Street Fighter 89, but then all of the players complained that this wasn’t Street Fighter. So ultimately SF89 became Final Fight, and we started working on a separate sequel to Street Fighter. In that sense, Street Fighter II is a game that was made by the players."


Akira Nishitani was then asked if he played the first Street Fighter, and stated:

"It would be impossible to make a sequel if you didn’t understand the appeal of the original, so yeah, I played it quite a bit."
