This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Document the prototypes, both that released by the Hidden Palace Zone and the "ST II' Turbo" bootleg.

Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition was the first Street Fighter II port on the Genesis, thus starting a long tradition of breaking exclusives...

Regional Differences

Japan	International

International versions changed the intro character being punched from black to white and alters his hair style, possibly due to fear of the original scene coming off as racist. It should be noted that this is the only instance of this censorship; all other international releases of the game and its ports leave the character intact.

Japan	International

The name change meant the removal of the pretty fancy "PLUS" graphic in favor of a longer, slightly squished subtitle. Additionally, the Dash and Excite options were renamed to Champion and Hyper.

The Japanese version is region-free, leaving its lockout text unused.
