I was just planning on playing a few rounds of such an old and wonderful game again. I really appreciate all the in-depth advice and recommendations.įightcade definitely sounds interesting and I'll definitely check out what kind of different games they have on there, but it's not really what I was looking for. Just get the arcade ROMs and play them online with FightCade, it's great. Kind of ridiculous that Capcom keeps teasing the Nintendo eShop with their worst ports. It was the best you could get on a home console back in 1994, but today there's really no reason to buy those when you can easily get much better versions elsewhere. Not only are they out of date, they're also rather lackluster compared to the arcade originals. The rebalance was kind of controversial, and the community ended up going back to the original.Īs for those SNES ports on the eShop? My answer is don't buy any of those.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is a modernized remake that features redrawn HD sprites, rebalancing (with an option to play the original, though it has some bugs and inaccuracies), and online. It's obviously not balanced at all, but it's a fun little special edition, and it effectively contains ST if you just pick those versions. There's also Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition which lets you mix and match versions of each character from past revisions, like pitting WW Guile against CE Bison. ST introduced super moves, throw techs, alternate versions of each character, and Akuma. The definitive version, which is still played competitively to this day, is Super Street Fighter II Turbo. WW and SSF2 are relatively worse in most estimations. Hyper Fighting is also relatively popular, as is Championship Edition to an extent. There was some play of Anniversary Edition when that was newer and also HDR when that came out, mostly in the West and including at EVO twice where Snake Eyez won its second year, 2010, and unleashed the terror of Gief upon the world. Generally Super Street Fighter II Turbo is most played in Japan and elsewhere and is considered the best. Then a new version exclusively for the last generation of home consoles, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which was rebalanced by a Westerner and redid sprites and music. Then various bastardized ports to home consoles. There's also Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition in Japanese arcades in 2003, which allowed you to select between different versions of characters. Super Street Fighter II Turbo (added supers, throw techs, Akuma as a banned secret character, and sped the game back up) Super Street Fighter II (used new hardware and remade some assets, was slower than Hyper Fighting, and added Cammy/T. Street Fighter II′ Turbo: Hyper Fighting (sped up the game) Street Fighter II': Championship Edition (added the boss Shadaloo characters as playable) below are American names), which all had balance tweaks and various adjustments, on top of other changes: There are five mainline titles, the five official arcade versions that were released from 1991 through 1994 (which have different names by region.
