Play the July 30, 1993 prototype build of Street Fighter II: Champion Edition for the Sega Genesis. Before the final retail release of Special Champion Edition, Capcom developed several test versions. This particular prototype offers a fascinating look at the game’s development, featuring early character balances, unfinished sound test menus, and subtle gameplay differences from the final product. It remains a fully playable 2D fighting game where you can select any of the 12 classic world warriors, including the four Grand Masters, to fight in the iconic tournament.
How to Play
The objective is to defeat your opponent in a best-of-three martial arts tournament match by depleting their health bar. As a Sega Genesis title, the default browser controls map the D-pad to the arrow keys for movement, jumping, and crouching. The Genesis A, B, and C buttons correspond to Z, X, and C on your keyboard for light, medium, and heavy attacks, while Enter acts as the Start button.
Tips
- Since this is an unfinished prototype, be aware that some hitboxes and damage values may feel slightly different compared to the polished final release.
- Use the D-pad to perform classic special movesโfor example, rolling the directional pad from down to forward and pressing punch for Ryu or Ken’s Hadouken.
