Street Fighter II': Champion Edition

Street Fighter II Champion Edition (hereafter referred to as CE) was the follow up to the stunningly successful Street Fighter II arcade game. CE was not a sequel, but rather an updated version that included new features not present in the original.

Capcom successfully ported this version of SF2 to the TurboGrafx 16 (or PC Engine). It was only released in Japan as Street Fighter II' (or dash). Conversions of Champion Edition are found in the Super Nintendo port of Street Fighter II Turbo as well as the Sega Genesis cartridge Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition.

The cast, story, controls, and rules for CE are identical to the original, so please see the SF2 guide for any questions regarding how to play. A list of the updates can be found below.

Updates and changes
