Overview
Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition
This special version of Street Fighter II is based on Super Street Fighter II Turbo as you can choose any incarnation of a certain character from the original Street Fighter II, Championship Edition, Hyper Fighting, Super SFII, and Super Turbo. Of course, this applies to whichever game they debuted as for example Cammy is only allowed to use Super or Super Turbo while Sagat cannot use the original since he wasn't playable then. There are certain advantages towards using a certain style like Super Turbo allowing super moves while using pre-Super styles allows more damage and more chances to get an oppoent dizzy. All four Turbo speeds are in this version of Street Fighter II as well as new arranged music for all the stages.
