At 40 megabits, Capcom's Genesis conversion of Super Street Fighter II was among the largest cartridges ever made for the console, and much of that space went into new characters and sound. The 1993 arcade revision added four fighters to the roster: Cammy, the British special forces operative; Fei Long, a Hong Kong action star; Dee Jay, a Jamaican kickboxer; and T. Hawk, a grappler from Mexico. That brought the cast to sixteen, with new stages and remixed music for the veterans.
The Genesis port arrived in 1994, a few months after the Super NES version, and generally matched it, trading slightly scratchier voice samples for the full roster and the arcade's Tournament and Group Battle options. Capcom recommended Sega's six-button pad, since three buttons force players to switch between punches and kicks. The combo counter and first-attack bonus from the arcade version are both present, rewarding aggressive openings.
Tips for Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
New characters are worth learning: Cammy's Spiral Arrow slides under many fireballs and punishes them on reaction.
Landing the first hit of a round earns bonus points, so open with safe pokes rather than jump-ins.
T. Hawk's command throws reward getting close after knocking an opponent down.
