Street Fighter II (II, Sutorîto Faitâ Ts?) is a 1991 competitive fighting game by Capcom. It is widely credited with launching the fighting genre into the mainstream and extending the life of the worldwide arcade scene for several years with its unique six button "combo" controls and revolutionary loser pays competitive gameplay. Its popularity far eclipsed that of its comparatively obscure predecessor, thanks in part to its inclusion of eight selectable characters (a number which increased in subsequent revisions of the game to 16) with their unique playing style and refinement of the unique play controls featured in the first game, setting the template for future fighting games. Its success also led to the production of several revised versions of the game (including home versions), as well as merchandising and cross-media adaptations (including two separately produced theatrical films). Street Fighter II was followed by a prequel titled Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams and a sequel titled Street Fighter III: The New Generation. Both games also inspired their own series of revisions.
Street Fighter II: Champion Edition (pronounced Street Fighter II Dash in Japan, hence the prime symbol) - Champion Edition included several significant updates:[1] All four boss characters (Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison) were playable. Players could choose the same character to fight against each other, using palette swapping to differentiate the second player. Character portraits were re-drawn The backgrounds of each player's stage were re-colored (a theme throughout most of the revisions). Added the ability to execute reversal attacks (special attacks either when blocking or rising from the ground that would cancel the animation frames and give higher priority) There were various bug fixes for serious glitches (such as Guile's Handcuffs), as well as some balancing of the characters.
