Street Fighter (Arcade)

Like the giant sequoia growing from the lowly earth, so too did the Street Fighter franchise sprout from this.

I'm saying that this game is fertilizer.

Level Mockup
A rough outline of a stage is stored in the Layer 1 BG ROM. This doesn't look like any stage in the final game, so it probably didn't get past this point.

Early Character Designs
One frame of an early Ryu design, which had been used in the March 1987 prototype, is left in the ROM. Ryu's hair is messier, he has brown gloves, and his shoes are brown rather than red.

The leftover frame of the early Ken. At this point, his accoutrements are identical to Ryu's; Ken's golden armbands and different gi were added later, and his red bandana was removed.

Developer Text
A developer credit is stored at in the main audio ROM: Prog. Saka

Later in the same ROM, at, is a copyright date: 1987 July
