Street Fighter II: Champion Edition - An Iconic Arcade Fighting Evolution

Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, known as Street Fighter II Dash in Japan, is a 1992 fighting game developed and published by Capcom for arcades, with ports to SNES (1993), Mega Drive/Genesis, and other platforms. As the first major update to Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, it expands the roster to 12 playable characters by making the four Shadaloo bosses—Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison—selectable. It also introduces balance tweaks, new moves, and improved visuals, solidifying its influence on the fighting game genre. The SNES port, bundled as Street Fighter II Turbo, sold millions, contributing to the series’ global success.
