Arcade version

While Capcom put their name on the cabinet, they had virtually nothing to do with creation of this game. Incredible Technologies designed all the animation and stages and created all the Music . Controls for special moves are modeled after both ''Street Fighter'' and ''Mortal Kombat''. For example some moves are used by doing down, down/forward and forward (D, DF, F) and punch or kick on the control stick. Other moves are done by just doing forward and forward (F, F) on the control stick as done in ''Mortal Kombat''. The special moves and super moves are added to familiar characters with the ''MK'' style of activation. Some of the moves involve characters using weapons that were not featured in the movies or original games. There are also three types of super moves, ''Blue Super Combos'' which are the original super moves, ''Red Super Combos'', more damaging moves that usually are activated with ''Mortal Kombat'' style moments on the control stick and finally ''ReGen'', a move that recharges the player's Life Bar . This was the first ''Street Fighter'' game to have more than one super combo. The game's cast is Ryu, Vega, Guile, Sagat, Ken, E. Honda, Chun-Li, Cammy, Sawada, Balrog, Blade, Bison, Akuma and Zangief. Arkane, F7 and Khyber appear as Secret Character s. Super Bison is also a secret character, but cannot be selected without modifying the game's code in some way.


Home version

Capcom and Acclaim did the console versions, drastically changing the game from what it appeared as in its arcade counterpart, including music and stages. They also used Japanese Voice Actor s that sounded like the voices of the original characters. Capcom also reprogrammed the game engine making it very similar to '' Super Street Fighter II Turbo ''.

Differences in the character roster include:

  • Blade and the palette-swap Bison troopers are gone


  • Akuma is now a hidden character


  • Blanka and Dee Jay are now added into the mix
