{{sub-stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (or '''''Street Fighter II Dash''''', as it is officially pronounced in Japan) is a port of the 1992 arcade game of the same title released for the [[PC Engine]]. It was the second and last ''Street Fighter'' game released for the platform, following ''[[Fighting Street]]'' (a retitled port of the original ''Street Fighter''). Unlike its predecessor, which was one of the first PCE games released in [[CD-ROM²]] format, the PCE version of ''Champion Edition'' was a 20-Megabit [[HuCard]], which was the largest ROM size that the format was ever available in. As a result, the ''Champion Edition'' HuCard is a bit thicker than other releases.

The PCE version of ''Champion Edition'' was the second console release in the ''Street Fighter II'' series, following the Super NES version of ''Street Fighter II: The World Warrior'' released the previous year. The PCE ''Champion Edition'' was considerably more accurate to the arcade version compared to the SNES ''World Warrior'', as it has more accurately drawn ending sequences and retains all of the announcer's voice clips (such as when counting down during the continue screen or when mentioning a country's name before a match), and it even restores the barrel-breaking minigame that was missing in the first SNES game. However, it lacks the Turbo mode that was later added in ''Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting'' for the SNES, as well as in ''Street Fighter II′: Special Champion Edition'' for the Mega Drive.

Because the standard PC Engine controller at the time only featured two action buttons ({{I}} and {{II}}), [[NEC Avenue]] produced the [[Avenue Pad 6]] specifically for ''Street Fighter II′'', which adds four more action buttons ({{III}}, {{IV}}, {{V}} and {{VI}}). When played on a standard controller, {{Run}}, {{II}} and {{I}} are used as general attack buttons, while {{Select}} toggles between punches and kicks.

==Gameplay==
 +
{{ScreenThumb|SF2CE PCE Select.png|align=left|width=200|Character select}}
 +
''Street Fighter II'' has a long (and often complex) lineage dating back to the 1991 release of ''Street Fighter II: The World Warrior'', a sequel to the 1987 arcade game ''Street Fighter''. Two updates to the game were released as ''Street Fighter II': Champion Edition'' and ''Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting'' in March and December 1992, respectively. Each of the updates attempted to further balance gameplay as well as offering new features such as faster gameplay and more moves.
 +
 
 +
The PCE version of ''Champion Edition'' was the second console release in the ''Street Fighter II'' series, following the Super NES version of ''Street Fighter II: The World Warrior'' released the previous year. The PCE ''Champion Edition'' was considerably more accurate to the arcade version compared to the SNES ''World Warrior'', as it has more accurately drawn ending sequences and retains all of the announcer's voice clips (such as when counting down during the continue screen or when mentioning a country's name before a match), and it even restores the barrel-breaking minigame that was missing in the first SNES game. However, it lacks the Turbo mode that was later added in ''Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting'' for the SNES, as well as in ''{{SegaLink|Street Fighter II′: Special Champion Edition}}'' for the Mega Drive.
 +
 
 +
The single-player mode consists of twelve matches against computer-controlled opponents, always concluding with the four Shadaloo bosses M. Bison, Balrog, Sagat, and Vega. A second player can enter at any time to challenge the first by pressing {{Run}}, with the victor continuing in the tournament. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. After every three matches, the player plays a bonus stage. Beating the game on the highest difficulty level unlocks a special ending sequence. There is a dedicated two-player V.S. Battle mode where players can choose a handicap and pick any stage to play.
 +
 
 +
Because the standard PC Engine [[Pad]] at the time only featured two action buttons ({{I}} and {{II}}), [[NEC Avenue]] produced the [[Avenue Pad 6]] specifically for ''Street Fighter II′'', which adds four more action buttons ({{III}}, {{IV}}, {{V}} and {{VI}}). With this controller, punches are done with {{IV}} (jab), {{V}} (medium) and {{VI}} (fierce), and kicks are done with {{III}} (short), {{II}} (medium) and {{I}} (roundhouse). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. When played on a standard controller, {{Run}}, {{II}} and {{I}} are used as general attack buttons, while {{Select}} toggles between punches and kicks.
 +
 
 +
Throws and grabs are done by holding the D-Pad toward an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them. Throws cannot be blocked. Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, with special moves still doing a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way.
 +
 
 +
===Characters===
 +
''Champion Edition'' contains the eight original cast members of ''Street Fighter II'', plus the four originally unplayable "Grand Masters". Every character has two selectable color schemes, one chosen by pressing any attack button and a secondary color scheme chosen with {{Run}} (and also used for mirror matches).
 +
 
 +
:'''Note:''' Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, {{left}} and {{right}} should be reversed. {{punch}} refers to any of the punch buttons, while {{kick}} refers to any of the kick buttons. For moves that require pressing all three {{punch}} or {{kick}} buttons, pressing any two buttons will also work.

Street Fighter II': Champion Edition, or Street Fighter II Dash (ストリートファイターⅡダッシュ) as it is officially pronounced in Japan, is a port of the 1992 arcade game of the same title released for the PC Engine. It was the second and last Street Fighter game released for the platform, following Fighting Street (a retitled port of the original Street Fighter).

Unlike its predecessor, which was one of the first PCE games released in CD-ROM² format, the PCE version of Champion Edition was a 20-Megabit HuCard, which was the largest ROM size that the format was ever available in. As a result, the Champion Edition HuCard is a bit thicker than other releases.

Gameplay

SF2CE PCE Select.png

Character select

Street Fighter II has a long (and often complex) lineage dating back to the 1991 release of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, a sequel to the 1987 arcade game Street Fighter. Two updates to the game were released as Street Fighter II': Champion Edition and Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting in March and December 1992, respectively. Each of the updates attempted to further balance gameplay as well as offering new features such as faster gameplay and more moves.

The PCE version of Champion Edition was the second console release in the Street Fighter II series, following the Super NES version of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior released the previous year. The PCE Champion Edition was considerably more accurate to the arcade version compared to the SNES World Warrior, as it has more accurately drawn ending sequences and retains all of the announcer's voice clips (such as when counting down during the continue screen or when mentioning a country's name before a match), and it even restores the barrel-breaking minigame that was missing in the first SNES game. However, it lacks the Turbo mode that was later added in Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting for the SNES, as well as in Street Fighter II′: Special Champion Edition for the Mega Drive.

The single-player mode consists of twelve matches against computer-controlled opponents, always concluding with the four Shadaloo bosses M. Bison, Balrog, Sagat, and Vega. A second player can enter at any time to challenge the first by pressing  RUN , with the victor continuing in the tournament. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. After every three matches, the player plays a bonus stage. Beating the game on the highest difficulty level unlocks a special ending sequence. There is a dedicated two-player V.S. Battle mode where players can choose a handicap and pick any stage to play.

Because the standard PC Engine Pad at the time only featured two action buttons (Ⅰ and Ⅱ), NEC Avenue produced the Avenue Pad 6 specifically for Street Fighter II′, which adds four more action buttons (Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ). With this controller, punches are done with Ⅳ (jab), Ⅴ (medium) and Ⅵ (fierce), and kicks are done with Ⅲ (short), Ⅱ (medium) and Ⅰ (roundhouse). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. When played on a standard controller,  RUN , Ⅱ and Ⅰ are used as general attack buttons, while  SELECT  toggles between punches and kicks.

Throws and grabs are done by holding the D-Pad toward an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them. Throws cannot be blocked. Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, with special moves still doing a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way.

Characters

Champion Edition contains the eight original cast members of Street Fighter II, plus the four originally unplayable "Grand Masters". Every character has two selectable color schemes, one chosen by pressing any attack button and a secondary color scheme chosen with  RUN  (and also used for mirror matches).

Note: Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, ← and → should be reversed. P refers to any of the punch buttons, while K refers to any of the kick buttons. For moves that require pressing all three P or K buttons, pressing any two buttons will also work.
