About This Game

Turbo mode increased game speed by approximately 20%, while maintaining the series' precise control. All characters received adjusted damage values and new techniques like Ryu's Red Hadouken and Chun-Li's instant Air Throw.

The update secretly included the first 'Easter egg' in fighting games - holding Start during VS screen would enable alternate color palettes, a feature that became standard in future iterations.

As the first fighting game balance patch in history, Hyper Fighting set the template for competitive updates and is considered by professionals to be the purest test of Street Fighter II skills.
