Hyper allows players to select from up to five different incarnations of the character roster: the original Street Fighter II, Champion Edition (Dash in Japan), Hyper Fighting (Dash Turbo in Japan), Super and Super Turbo (Super X in Japan). Each version of the characters play exactly as they were featured in said game (albeit minor bugs/changes, such as Super Sagats Tiger Shots and Vega's Wall Dive command), including the use of the same animation frames and voice actor

s. Players can pit a character from one version against one from another from a different game (i.e: "Champ" Ken vs. "Super" Cammy, "Normal" Guile vs. "Turbo" Chun-Li). Rules from each game apply when selecting one's roster (for example, one cannot choose the same character as the other player if both are playing on "Normal" or play as the four bosses). In the single player game, all the opponents faced are in "Super T" mode.

The fighting stages use the same backgrounds and graphics from Super Turbo but restores a few breakable elements not seen since the original Street Fighter II: the Furinkazan

When using the CPS orchestration, CPS-style music from the obscure Japanese Sharp X6800 port of Super Street Fighter II is used for the "New Challengers" and Akuma, as they were not present in the original CPS SFII trilogy and thus did not originally have any CPS arrangements.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future

The port of Street Fighter III 3rd Strike is primarily the same as the Dreamcast version of the game from 2000, with the added post-match grading system, increased hit detection accuracy with the Progressive Hit Frame System, and other extras over the arcade original. Additionally the Xbox version could be played online via Xbox Live (the Dreamcast version featured an online versus mode, but this feature was only available in the Japanese release).
