A prototype of ''Street Fighter 2: Special Championship Edition''. It seems to have been dumped and modified by pirates. It likely was developed and scrapped then re-developed, possibly due to negative feedback from the press and/or because Street Fighter II: Turbo was announced for SNES, which had much more changes. This prototype seems to be a port of Champion Edition and did not have the changes made in Hyper Fighting (arcade) or Turbo (SNES). The cancellation of this prototype lead to a release date change from June 1993 to September 1993.
A modified prototype of the unreleased Street Fighter II: Champion Edition port for the Sega Mega Drive.
==Notes==


==Legitimacy vs Homebrew Pirate==
*This may have been one of the final builds of this port before it was cancelled by Capcom.
* The quality of the game seems well above other homebrew pirates, thus it seems likely it is a internally developed prototype by either Capcom or Sega.
*Many parts of previous builds seem to have been modified in a clean manner. This suggests that the person(s) that modified this build had access to the source code to do these changes, as most bootleg hacks are much more rough around the edges.
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFXlY7v5w60 Street Fighter II Champion Edition- SUHS video] has the same music as the prototype.
*Despite being titled "Street Fighter II Turbo", the only feature borrowed from the Turbo version of Street Fighter II are the alternate skins/costumes palettes.
* The 4 in the score is similar to the 4 in prototype screenshots. If it were a pirate, the pirates would have likely used graphics from the SNES port of SF2 instead.
*The Differences from this and the July 30th build of of Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition are:
 
**There is no Capcom screen, only a broken Sega screen is present. The Capcom logo jingle is still present in the rom.
==Legitimacy vs Homebrew Pirate==
**The title screen does not have the Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition logo or copyright info. In it's place is a logo that says "STII ' Turbo" and no informational text.
* The quality of the game seems well above other homebrew pirates, thus it seems likely it is a internally developed prototype by either Capcom or Sega.
**The sound test shows the internal sound ID instead of the number of it's location in the sound test. EX:
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFXlY7v5w60 Street Fighter II Champion Edition- SUHS video] has the same music as the prototype.
**This build removes the infamous "black bar" present in the July 30 build. In It's place are two less noticeable black bars, with the lower bar being partially transparent at times.
* The 4 in the score is similar to the 4 in prototype screenshots. If it were a pirate, the pirates would have likely used graphics from the SNES port of SF2 instead.
**More Sound Effects and PCM samples are used in gameplay than in the July 30 build. Some of these Sound Effects are unused in the builds preceding.
 
**The PCM samples used for music are of a much better quality than the ones used in the preceding builds.
 
**No endings are present. When you beat the game, only a rough "Cast of Characters" screen with no text will appear, and then a "Congratulations" screen will appear before the game resets.

**It uses the Turbo palettes for the alternate skins/costumes for the characters.

*When using a 3-button controller a feature is enabled in the HUD for indicating whether the player is using punches or kicks using the letters 'P' or 'K', that can be swapped pressing Start. This control scheme is similar on all the versions but the released Special Champion Edition lacks any HUD indicator and the Champion Edition prototypes use a red square and a white circle instead.

* No CAPCOM logo, but a SEGA logo is present.
* Turbo is only a name. No accelerated speed and the majority of new moves from Hyper Fighting are not in this version.
* There are two bonus stages. The car and barrel bonus stages occur every 4 fights (instead of 3 in the commercial version).
* Sounds and musics seems different (Some voice samples are better quality in the "turbo" version).

A modified prototype of the unreleased Street Fighter II: Champion Edition port for the Sega Mega Drive.

Notes

  • This may have been one of the final builds of this port before it was cancelled by Capcom.
  • Many parts of previous builds seem to have been modified in a clean manner. This suggests that the person(s) that modified this build had access to the source code to do these changes, as most bootleg hacks are much more rough around the edges.
  • Despite being titled "Street Fighter II Turbo", the only feature borrowed from the Turbo version of Street Fighter II are the alternate skins/costumes palettes.
  • The Differences from this and the July 30th build of of Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition are:
    • There is no Capcom screen, only a broken Sega screen is present. The Capcom logo jingle is still present in the rom.
    • The title screen does not have the Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition logo or copyright info. In it's place is a logo that says "STII ' Turbo" and no informational text.
    • The sound test shows the internal sound ID instead of the number of it's location in the sound test. EX:
    • This build removes the infamous "black bar" present in the July 30 build. In It's place are two less noticeable black bars, with the lower bar being partially transparent at times.
    • More Sound Effects and PCM samples are used in gameplay than in the July 30 build. Some of these Sound Effects are unused in the builds preceding.
    • The PCM samples used for music are of a much better quality than the ones used in the preceding builds.
    • No endings are present. When you beat the game, only a rough "Cast of Characters" screen with no text will appear, and then a "Congratulations" screen will appear before the game resets.
    • It uses the Turbo palettes for the alternate skins/costumes for the characters.
  • When using a 3-button controller a feature is enabled in the HUD for indicating whether the player is using punches or kicks using the letters 'P' or 'K', that can be swapped pressing Start. This control scheme is similar on all the versions but the released Special Champion Edition lacks any HUD indicator and the Champion Edition prototypes use a red square and a white circle instead.
