STREET FIGHTEl V \ ENHANCEMENTS FOR THE TURBO VERSION CHOOSE TO PLAY AS A BOSS In the original arcade and Super NES versions of Street Fighter II, you could only fight against the four boss characters. Those days are long gone. In the Turbo version of Street Fighter II, you may select any of the 12 fighters. Individually, when factors such as strength, speed and agility are averaged out, each character has approximately the same chance of winning a match. Remember, this is on the average. With the skills of two players being equal, certain characters may have a slight advan- tage over others, but things should be fairly matched. The Turbo version has been "fine tuned" to include moves that tend to equalize any defi- ciencies a certain character may have had against another character. NEW SPECIAL ATTACKS! PLAY VS. SAME CHARACTER Some of the competitors in the In Street Fighter II Turbo, you don't have to enter any Turbo version of Street Fighter II special Controller code to have the ability to play same have been granted new moves character vs. same character.

Thus, Capcom instigated the new attack moves for the characters. When you try them out, we think you'll agree that the "upgrades" were both much needed and fair.
