I just saw one replica of the old arcade game at a computer expoit was years I didn't see it how many memories of my teen years......... ..........any other fan on here ?which characther you used to choose ?

canonical

there was this cafe across from my highschool with a version of Street Fighter 2 that had a chip in it.

The chip it in made it so you could do the following things:

1) Change characters mid game.
2) Launch unlimited "Haduken's" (like if you kept doing it, there could be more than one on the screen).
3) "extremized" the speed of everything. Slow fireballs were very slow, fast were very fast.
4) If you did a "Haduken" with blanka, he would crouch down to do the electricity but a sonic-boom would come out.
5) If you did a "haduken" in mid-air you could jump from that spot again.
6) If you hit someone from close with a strong-dragon-punch and kept hitting the button you'd hit them more than once.

Man, that shit was awesome. I played that for days.

How was the buttons-combination to do that ? I never learnt

Man, I loved the combinations in that game. Come in with a jumping kick, sweep the leg on the landing, and a super-upper-cut to finish. That was my shit...

Sitting in the basement, listening to Primus and Ice-T/Body Count, playing Super Street Fighter on Sega. Man, being 14 wasn't all bad.

forward, down, down/forward (diagonal) + punch.

Ken all the way holmes. gotta have the invincible upper cut...

combos from streetfighter led the way for me to contemplate scratch combos later on...

jump medium punch-to medium squat kick-2 light jabs---to triple flaming uppercut to those muthas!

Okem

We recently got a copy of this in my household



It has several versions of street fighter on there. And most of my flat mates are all superstreetfighterfreaks and regularly play into the early hours.

I never played it as a kid, so I mostly get my ass kicked. But what I've been diggin the most is, Super Ghouls N??? Ghosts. This rules my world right now. I finally managed to complete it the other day, just to be told thet I didn't have the braclet, so it sent me back to the beggining...

i think thats called the rainbow edition or something

anyways, sagat was the real deal.

Not to be a gaming dork or anything (too late), but I gotta say that Super is probably my least favorite of the SFII series. It lost the speed of the previous one (Street Fighter II Turbo), added four relatively underpowered characters, and just seemed off in character balance overall. (Zangief became damn near useless, for starters, when he was a viable choice until then.)

They should've shelved Super and released Super Street Fighter II Turbo instead.

We called it the "lightning" edition because you could make the screen go completely black on it too. you could also "handcuff" your opponent where he couldn't control his character it would only follow you really closely you finally put a hellfied combo on his ass that broke him free.

right, I actually MEANT the original Street Fighter 2( maybe the Champion Edition)
I edited the thread subject

The Rainbow edition (there were several of those kind of bootlegs going around, I think Rainbow was the most popular) was amazing in that some of the shit it introduced ended up being used in Super & Super Turbo, e.g., Chun-Li's Fireball.

Also, Guile was unstoppable in that one because you didn't have to charge special moves anymore.

Hahaha! Yeah, he became like a mortal kombat character. Done, up, kick, BOOM!

I'll never forget the day I finally got my SNES copy of Streetfighter II Turbo. Played it all Xmas day until my hands blistered. Plastered my fingers up and played on. Still got the indents on my thumbs to this day.
