I've been returning to this ROM hack since it's launch in 2020. It is, in opinion, the ultimate way to play SCE on the Mega Drive and made me fall in love with the game again.

A big thanks to Pyron for his efforts and contribution to the ROM hacking scene!

Also, the SRAM patch by BillyTime Games works perfectly in conjunction with this if you want to save your high scores.

With this improvement, the Mega Drive version of Street Fighter 2 is hands down the best version. The colors and details are improved beyond what is seen in the SNES version. The voices are restored. Great effort. Fantastic.

A necessary hack for all Street Fighter II SCE enthusiasts! The biggest overhaul of arguably the best version of SF II for the Genesis/Mega Drive. It builds on existing hacks including the popular audio fixes.

Pyron's outstanding palette work is showcased here, along with some added tweaks to various elements like the game's level of violence. There also other minor improvements to make the game even closer to the original arcade classic, including the restoration of the actual arcade intro.

Five stars!

This hack honestly wasn't needed. The New Challengers patch is already the definitive Genesis SF2 console version. It even has the arcade accurate blocking audio sound effect.

This hack basically spruces up the colors a little and adds the blood back along with some of the patched improvements from the aforementioned New Challengers patch. In a half measure effort, the author only updates Blanka's and Dictator's char. selection pics.

Oh, and the racist intro that Sega and Capcom changed has been restored. Two thumbs down.

Audio enhancements, graphics and color overhaul, better gameplay, new fonts, what more could you ask more? Although I find the use of the Super Street II health bar a little excessive here, this clearly is a work made with love and passion. Of course, coming from Pyron, I couldn't expect less!

This is a really polished job, right from the splash screen at boot you know you're playing something that has had a lot of work put into it. The new fonts make a lot of the text much clearer and the updated colours everywhere are really well shaded. I think maybe the controls have been given a bit of a tweak too, I found Ryu's dragon punch much easier to pull off consistently than I ever have in the past.

The only other thing I'd like to have seen is the removal of that annoying "play it on a harder difficulty" message at the end so I could quickly beat the game with all the characters to see all the updated endings.

This hack proves that Capcom and Sega done a poor work porting this game. Pyron put some effort and care, and now this game looks better than SNES version!!! A great plot twist!!! Fixed audio, graphics and gameplay!!! A must have for any SFII fans!!!

Well, what a looooooooong wait...

Tons and tons of love and meticulous work have been put here to offer the world the absolutely best console version of this timeless classic.

Probably the most mandatory download of the year in the romhacking world. Thank you Pyron for this wonderful present.

this is perhaps THE best hack for street fighter 2 sce ever. the one minor blemish on this is the life bar not matching the damage to a very small degree. in other words there is some red on the bar that doesn't go away, even after the final blow has been dealt. but like i said, small potatoes to what this hack offers! the colors are very vibrant. the characters have their super turbo colors!! the life bar and fonts got a very fresh new look. we're also again treated to the sound being fixed. so it's just this big combo of awesomeness in this hack. okay, i said enough. download it NOW!!! stop reading , go get it !!!!

Back in the day, because of Nintendo's controlling shenanigans, the Mega Drive couldn't get a port of Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior normally.

Capcom circumvented this issue by releasing Special Champion Edition for the sleek black box, and it was a great bang for the buck as it already included functionalities that would only be seen in Hyper Fighting on the SNES, released later.

That said, the Mega Drive port always looked (and sounded) rough compared to the SNES equivalent, which blemished the experience somewhat.

What this wonderful hack does is lessen the technical quality gulf between the ports to a negligible amount, since besides fixing bugs and improving palettes immensely, it also improves sound from what I can tell. I assume it includes the excellent PCM driver fix.

As such, it is without a doubt the best home port of CE/HF now, by my reckoning.
