Street Fighter II: Champion Edition is a 1992 fighting game developed and published by Capcom for arcades. It is the first of several updated versions of Street Fighter II Turbo.
Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition
The gameplay is consistent with the Street Fighter II sub-series, with several changes from the original World Warrior edition.
In addition to the eight main characters, the four Shadaloo Bosses (Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison), are now playable characters. The Shadaloo Bosses were toned down considerably from the previous iterations, but remain relatively strong compared to the standard eight fighters. The returning eight main characters' techniques and priorities were further balanced for competition between different characters. Ryu's and Ken's common fighting techniques were further differentiated.
In World Warrior, both players are not allowed to choose the same character. This restriction has been eliminated in Champion Edition, allowing for 'mirror matches'.
Minor graphical changes include color improvements, particularly for background stages. The portraits for all the characters and endings of some of the returning characters were redrawn. There is new music for the end credits sequence.
The Genesis/Mega Drive version, titled Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition was released on September 27, 1993 in North America, September 28, 1993 in Japan, and October 29, 1993 in Europe. It is the first of two Street Fighter II versions for the console and is in a 24 megabit cartridge. A six-button control pad was made primarily for it.
This version was originally intended to be a standalone port of Champion Edition, similar to the PC Engine version. The Genesis/Mega Drive version was announced in March 1993 and was originally intended for release around July 1993. However, the game's release was later delayed to September 1993 because the two prototypes in early 1993 did not satisfy the Capcom executives. Following the announcement of Street Fighter II Turbo for the SNES, Sega had ordered its version to be delayed so that Capcom could add all of the extra content from the Turbo version as well, resulting in the title change.
Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition was released as a plug and play system in 2005 as part of the 'Play TV Legends' series by Radica. It also includes the Genesis version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
