Street Fighter II' - Special Champion Edition on Genesis

Street Fighter II' - Special Champion Edition landed on SEGA Genesis in 1993, bringing Capcom's iconic arcade fighter home. This version is a direct port of the arcade Street Fighter II' Champion Edition, which itself was the second major revision of the original Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. It was developed and published by Capcom, and it stands as one of the definitive fighting game experiences on the 16-bit console. For Genesis owners at the time, this was the closest they could get to the arcade without leaving the house.

How to play Street Fighter II' - Special Champion Edition online

Getting Started

Begin by selecting your fighter from the character select screen. Each of the eight playable World Warriors has a unique set of special moves and a distinct fighting style. The core loop is simple: face off against the computer in a series of best-of-three rounds, aiming to deplete your opponent's health bar before time runs out.

Momentum for special moves, such as fireballs and dragon punches, are performed by specific directional inputs followed by a punch or kick button. The game also introduces the ability to play as the four Grand Masters (Balrog, Vega, Sagat, M. Bison) from the start, a feature that was a big deal back in the day. Beginners can try a single-player tournament mode, while more experienced players might jump straight into versus mode against a friend.
