Introduction

Released in late 1992, this game is Capcom's response to all of the bootleg versions of the Street Fighter series that were popping up around the world. One of the more famous bootleg versions was called Street Fighter 2: Rainbow Edition.

Hyper Fighting introduced some additional moves for select characters which helped in balancing the game. Some examples of this are:

• Air hurricane kicks with Ken and Ryu • Chun-li fireball • Blanka vertical ball • E. Honda sumo splash
