Here in Brazil those bootlegs were called "bus station Street Fighter" because they were found in modest locations like smaller arcades, bus stations, dive bars, mom-and-pop grocers...
Professor Girão?
@@CloroquinaGames Não.
I'm brazilian and that title doesn't make sense to me, I never saw any street fighter cabinet in bus stations...usually SF2 machines were found at small pubs, bars and malls
Same here, I’ve never seen such a thing where I lived. Maybe it was a regional phenomenon at the OP’s town?
@@MiereTeixeira Seriously, have you never heard of "Street Fighter de rodoviária"?
This bootleg should be preserved. Preserved to remind people of it's importance. That and if it wasn't for this game, we wouldn't have gotten Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting, which is my all time favorite version.
It is on MAME
THIS IS A BOOTLEG I SDTRIAGHT UP THOUGHT IT WAS REAL
Many people thought it was real. When I was a kid, my brother used to tell me about an “official” upgrade called Accelerator II, and we wondered why no one else had it except one shop we knew. Apparently it used to be a Rainbow until the owners changed it for some reason.
It wasn't just the faster speed of the game that was copied in later iterations of Street Fighter and other fighting games, either... before long, things like rapid-fire and directed projectiles, mid-air specials and combos, mid-air jumps, mid-air throws, reversals, teleportation moves, and even being able to swap characters mid-fight would become staples of the genre.
And SSF2T
He actually starts talking about the video's subject at the 3:40 mark.
Ok Ken 😂
Thank you!
You the real mvp
The true goat of the comments!
He yapped for solid 3:40 mins. Drives me nuts
I used to use Zangief and jump up 10 screens, then do a spinning pile driver all the way back down. Fun times
I remember doing that and it froze the game zangief kept falling thru
No one is talking about how Rainbow Zangief spouts yoga flame from his boots while doing his lariat and flying all over the place?
Sf2 champion edition m5 is the version..... i have em all
I recall the laundromat our family used to go to in the 90s, it was Chanpion Edition, but one weekend it was changed to Rainbow Edition in the US. My brother and I were blown away. Only time I ever saw it in the wild. It was around '95 or maybe '96.
The “n” in “champion” made the whole copycat thing even funnier 😂
Wdym @@MiereTeixeira
The golf course on Sepulveda blvd. in Sherman Oaks with the batting cages had the rainbow edition in the 90's. I stacked 30 slow sonic booms with jab & was undefeatable. When I use Zangief, I jump, hit 3 punch buttons- do the spinning clothesline, keep jumping infinitely doing that, through the ceiling, appearing coming up through the ground,& u can't touch me, but I can spinning pile drive you if i'm near & you see me falling through 3 ceilings when i pile drive you, lol. haha
I have very vivid memories of this. It's crazy to realize how much of a tug a war it was behind the scenes. I have to admit, the original SF II World Warriors is practically unplayable to me today due to the speed but back then it was everything.
we had one in a corner store in grade school and it was nuts. you can jump do fireball and you can keep jumping and doing fireballs and you can loop a ton of times on the screen
Used to play this version at my local arcade in Panama 🇵🇦. It was so awesome being able to change characters on the fly, which is how i beat SFII for the 1st time in the arcade
We had this at a laundromat in the 90s in South Central LA. I remember pressing start changed characters and guile was covering with the screen with sonic booms. I was 8 years old asking myself, "What is going on?"
That’s my fondest memory of this game too, just literally covering the screen with sonic booms.
I remember those days too, seeing SF2 Rainbow everywhere in South Central LA. There was even this laundromat in Inglewood that also had this bootleg back in the day, only a few blocks down from Hyde Park & Crenshaw
Street Fighter 2: Rainbow in the dark edition
Ronnie James Dio is the final boss?
I now want a meme of ronnie james dio saying, "you thought it was a jojo reference but it was me Dio."
My friends and I used to call it 'Modified SF'. There was a Pizza Hut near us that had one, but after a few months it was gone.
Yeah, they vanished pretty fast, never knew why.
In Philadelphia, we had "THE CHAMPIONS EDITION" at a local pizza store, then out nowhere this edition came out.... but ours was called "THE RED WAVE" edition....
When I was a kid the 7-Eleven by my house add the rainbow Edition for a short time. I remember watching all the kids throwing Fireballs all over the screen. It was something to see
I played this is a Hong Kong 🇭🇰 arcade in the 90s. I walked it by flooding the screen 📺 with sonic booms. I assumed it was a broken cabinet at the time tbh 😂
I was a kid in the arcade in Taiwan when this happened, where the hack originated. There were multiple iterations of hacks. The early version was very mild, the only thing that changed was you could do moves in the air. Then the hacks got more out of hand, the fireball could track opponent, blanka electricity teleport next to opponent, lariat has yoga flame shooting out of Gief's feet, and you could change character on the fly by pressing the start button. Walk speed was manipulated. Toward the end, the most egregious version was ones where screenful of fireball shoots out of Ryu when he does a dp. Ultimately, the SF2 scene never recovered from the rainbow editions as very few people played HF. It wasn't until SSF2 came out that more people started to play SF again.
My arcade here in California had all those various versions playing at the same time. We had 30 machines and 20 of them had different versions of the chip in them. You didn’t know what you’d get until you dropped a quarter in and tested out the chaos.
We had an arcade in our local mall called Aladdin's Castle that had Rainbow Edition. I loved SF2 and was floored by the absolute madness that was RE
I remember 1st seeing this arcade at a grocery store near me in Houston,TX with big yellow sticker on it that said "Thunder Edition". I guess they put that on there because that would sound more appealing than Rainbow edition at the time.
I remember this as well. In Houston too👍🏾
3:05 Ken made Vega eat that one
An OG cabinet is at Cidercade in Dallas/Arlington TX.. Youre welcome
One at the cidercade in houston too
@@TM-rookie Theres a rainbow one at Cidercade?
Somehow, my local grocery store had this version. It was absolutely wild.
I remember seeing Rainbow in 93 at an arcade and I had no idea what it was called until like 2007. I remember it was like my version of reality didn’t exist anymore while watching Ken Hurricane Kick none stop all over the stage 😅.
I remember when rainbow and tu long surfaced in 92😎
The coin op handlers went from hundreds a week to thousands a week. Cash!
Then we had to start opening the coin ops and adjusting the settings on our own.
Then we started playing $5 per win per round. Everything changed after that.
Until Killer Instinct came out in 95. It was back to the drawing board. No new hacks, all skills💪🏾
I was 10 years old. I work after school for 1 to 3 hours for 5 days. There was the rainbow adition arcade on an ice cream store in the corner. It was Saturday when the store open at around 11am. I was ready started with Guile and finish my last coin with Honda😢😢. Used to finish up it was and amazing day a great day to remember🎉
I remember seeing the Rainbow edition twice, once at a Sack n'Save grocery store in Texas and again at an arcade in Veracruz.
I have heard a rumour that some characters got now moves inspired by Rainbow Edition
For example, Dhalsim's teleport
I actually own this cabinet alongside MK OG, and The X-Men multi player beat 'em up. Some love it, some really hate it. But most are blown away by how wild it is.
6 player xmen?
@@Kos4Evr mine only has a three player layout. It's the single screen design, but still fairly big.
I wana come over amd play it
I beat the 6 player x men cabinet with 2 other people
@@samurai_jack_1 well let me know if you're ever in SoCal.
@@JimiTheGent either way still an awesome arcade game to have
I found one of these as a kid as well... never knew what version it was. To finally know more than 30-35 years later is crazy.
I played this as a kid in a random pizzeria in a random town in NY State. Thought it was fake for years before the videos started coming out lately.
Great video, my local had one of these hacked SF2 machine, I didn't think much of it at the time as i was more in MK1 but my friends loved it, that video sent me back 30 years+!
This was far from the craziest version of SFII, though.
I remember one where the characters automatically start floating and performing a dragon punch would produce a wall of stacked fireballs. I also remember one where visibility is practically zero, due to a weird gray/white haze covering the screen.
This was actually the first version of SFII I played.
I played tbe illegal version in the 90s here in Singapore. It wasn't just about speed. There's alot of mechanics and moves that Capcom borrowed from it for future SF versions, such as Teleport, Air Fireballs, Air 'helicopter kick', Dragon punch with Fire, etc etc. it inspired the official creation of Super Street Fighter II and SSF2 Turbo/X.
Blessup Folk! living in bklyn Street fighter 1 was our thing, but when SF2 dropped in arcades it was literally a drug that folk was playing everywhere in every bodega store...when the rainbow edition was out we def played it....but on SF2 we learned how to do Shadow throw with Guile "Sonic boom" Fierce and Roundhouse at the same time, and the Guile reset cabinet trick when your losing....Throw a sonic boom then do a heavy kick sonic boom, youll be stuck in that upside down kick, opponent cant touch you and the only way to get out of it is to do a flashkick, but its lights out after as it resets the cabinet...Nostalgia
Can't forget the version with the Horizontal Dragon punches. That was my favorite version!!!
We had one at a liquor store back in the day close to my house. I remember watching the wall of fireballs happen and had my mind blown
So many 10p's pumped into Rainbow Edition arcade in the Rock Mills Xtravision on the Strand Road. The ginger manager of that store was an absolute legend.
I stumbled upon one of these illegal versions in a convenient store back in 93-94. This thing was crazy and incredible…
I found the Rainbow edition in a laundry mat and fell in love with it. It was and still is my favorite version of the game.
I remember one of the nearby video rental stores had Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition. I called it the Nestea version since the colors looked like Nestea to me at the time. I recently saw a Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition arcade cabinet again at a Barcade in New York City. It is just as insane now as it was in 1992.
In the U.K you found these versions at fairgrounds we called them "messed up edition" I loved the way you could jump off the screen and and come back in the opposite side😂😂
I played one in Montebello, CA at a pizza Parlor .. or i tried to play but didn't know the combos. I would watch other local high school students play and the combos were amazing, probably influeced Koller Instinst which appears soon later. I think the haduken uppercuts could continue from top screen and appear vertically from the bottom screen, interesting combos such as that and then of course the tornado fireballs from Guile. Great video thumbs up.
I came across this mess on an arcade cabinet in the little corner store on the street where I grew up when I was a kid. Up until a few years ago when I first heard of this edition I spent my whole life thinking that that cabinet I played on was broken and glitchy.
Oh, hey! I'm early for a new Top Hat Gaming Man video! 😊❤🎉
Used to love this version! I mean it was broken as hell but one-hitting everyone with Zangiefs glitched piledriver and seeing their faces after was *chefs kiss*
I was lucky enough to witness this. We had one in a roast chicken takeaway (Sydney) in my neighbourhood. About 93-94
I remember being shown on one of them that you could keep jumping up and up, seemingly without end, and if you were Zangief you could jump up 10 screens or more and then pull off a spinning piledriver that would go back down through all the screens and finish the opponent off instantly!
So, being a Bootleg, it should be legal to include it in some Capcom compilation.
This was in every arcade in Blackpool
EVERY and the chippies
I remember Black Belt and Red Wave edition
I have to admit we just played it along with all the rest of the Street fighter 2's when we saw it in the 90's , had no idea it was a pirate version or a hack , we didn't even known that was possible , we thought it's just another Street fighter 2 from Capcom in the craze. Street fighter 2 was everywhere and finding this was just 1 of those things .
I played this in Sydney Australia back in the early 90’s it was located in a video rental shop.
Honestly I had no idea it was a bootleg.
No wonder I could never ever find it ever again anywhere.
lol
I remember one of these when they popped up in NY. Lane pizzeria had it. You could jump to the top of the screen and come up from the bottom. The zangief pile driver could literally go through several screens and it was a 1 hit kill. Crazy times
This was in every arcade in the philippines at some point. With each arcade having a different version of the game. One could have the version where the dragon punch produced a wall of fireballs. Another could have homing fireballs, and another could have ryu and ken throwing not one but two fireballs which criss crossed up and down as they go. It was crazy, it was rare to see a normal street fighter 2 back then.
So many versions of Rainbow edition 1 where Guile could send endless sonic booms and go through the screen upwards , 1 where ken and Ryu send a string of fireballs vertically with the 1 upper cut , 1 where Balrog could send fireballs with his punches , 1 where Chun li can attack you endlessly with the fanning like movement side kick , E Honda could do the same as well plus 1 where Blanka could shock and move around the screen to get you. Also with every rainbow edition you could change to all characters again using the start button .
Ryu controling the direction of his fireballs is cool!
Glad that it returns for Street Fighter The Movie The Game (Arcade)!
Broken and jank fighting games can be fun 😄
I think I remember this vaguely the guys that knew how to play this. The SNES SF2 was a code set for Game Genie to play Rainbow Edition times 2 E. Honda's 100 Hand slap, Chun Li's lightning Leg, Blanka's Zapper across the screen hit no mater what location air got dropped ground multi hit combo. Get Level 8 story pending you don't get hit 1st in any match. Was also a set to play bosses with Game Genie & Pro Action Replay simultaneously but none of us had a Pro Action Replay, so it was shadow and mixed depending which boss you got.
My local comic book shop had rainbow edition. It was absolute frantic and amazing. When SF2 Turbo released for SNES I was actually really disappointed that it lacked the crazy screen filling fireball anarchy and gravity defying special moves. This is my first time understanding that the machine was actually a hack 😂
Holy crap I remember seeing this in the hobby shop we went to for MtG, model rockets and stuff like that. What made it more insane was that it was installed in an otherwise standard Championship Edition cabinet, so people that played the REAL one were caught off guard, while folks that played Rainbow there then saw Champion elsewhere were wondering why they couldn't shoot 3 hadokens a second XD
Malibu Castle on Whitsette and Vanowen in North Hollywood had it for a while. Spent all my coins there and time watching even when I couldn’t play haha
Didnt know it was called Rainbow. We called it "glitched"
I remember once watching someone play as Guile, and there were a bunch of sonic booms on the screen. Like it covered half the screen.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid in new Zealand mid 90s blew my mind
Aye bro , top hat sf rainbow felt like a fever dream when I was teenager in Chicago I told people about they still don't believe me 🤣🤣🤣
I knew i wasnt crazy. I can never forget losing to my cousins by a hadoken barrage at the lake we used to swim in. Partly because of that game, and partly because we kept getting shocked when we played it.
Should have been named the fever dream edition.
Yup I played the hacked version in San Jose at Chuck E. Cheese off Tully as a child. I also ran back in to the hacked version in like 2017 or 18 at Northern Nights a festival in Northern California.
I never played street fighter rainbow edition; but I did play street fighter black belt edition which was even faster than street fighter 3.
An arcade in Muskogee, Okla had Rainbow edition. We would fill the screen with sonic booms and then switch characters at the end of the final boss to see their ending. I do remember there were SF purists who absolutely denounced the hack version and refused to play it. When Turbo came out I knew i was in response to Rainbow. Ah, the 90s.
I played this in mame and its wild asf lol
In Mexico we named this the phantom or ghost edition. We hunted around town all over for it and we had it at a pharmacy next door. I first stumbled upon this in Brooklyn ny at a grocery store on 7th ave next to my mom’s factory
I was wondering what happened to this version. Only knew of one arcade cabinet with this version at a mom and pop hamburger stand when I was kid. Had a billion people crowded around it and no one did anything except throw projectiles when they played.
I remember playing this game. Nobody could bear Ryu's fireballs.
Who else knew it as “Red Wave”? 😊
Since I never heard of the rainbow edition until some 20 years later, I always thought Turbo came first and Rainbow came out like in the mid 2000's.
What do mean we'll never know what was going on?
17:14
It's clear that dude put his job on the line, probably said something like "If they don't like it and this fails you can get rid of me."
He probably saved his job and the life of Street Fighter as we know it today.
😄👍
Almost every arcade in the seaside resort I grew up by, had a different version of SFII rainbow version - at first we thought it was an official upgrade like champion edition - then it was obvious that it wasn't, because there were so many and they did such random things! Till the son of one of the arcade owners explained it to me - I was 13/14 so it made little sense beyond "it's a bootleg"!!!
We had this at the little arcade at our video rental as well as the legit versions.
The MUGEN Prototype right here! Makes me wish Super Turbo got the Rainbow treatment as well one day i still hope you give that insanity of a sprite community fighting game engine a review if you haven't already since you covered this
Hyper fighting was by far the best old school street fighter, imo. The sound effect change in Turbo killed it for me. Hyper felt and sounded more visceral.
Zangief with his ability to go off screen and still grab you was just unfair... 😄
I've a love, hate relationship with this rom.
I love it , but my friends called me a lier for years when I tried to describe what I saw on holiday.
" Fireballs come out of your dragonpuch!" I said.
"You're full of Shkit" they said.
I remember seeing this arcade game at a laundromat as a kid… I thought I had imagined it because I never saw it again since. Glad to know it was real 😂
When I was a kid in 40 now this edition was at my dads football club was mental to play
ST is still played competitively till this day through weekly tournaments (if im not mistaken) in japan.
SAME HERE !! Played on holiday in Tenerife 94 !!!
So Rainbow edition speed up the gameplay, which prob is the reason why street fighter 2 turbo was made.
Maybe this is where SF Alpha/SF III adapted the so-called "Cancel/Super Cancel Attack" where you can do Super/Special Attack while doing Normal/Super Move on Ground/Mid-air? 😮
I was in a mom and pop shop back in the 90’s and I saw this dude firing Ryu hadukens over and over I was so blown away. I spent 10 bucks just trying to beat that dude. Never saw the machine again 😂😢
I was lucky enough to of played this decades ago. I hated it! I thought it was so unfair and cheap- cheating was ready to do. You would have like 50 sonic booms on the screen at once- how do you escape that?!?
had one of these at my local video store, even had a competition... highest score of the week got $10 worth of video rentals (Australia). - What made this super cool, kids didn't need to be an expert at the game (remember only rich kids owned a Super Nintendo at the time), so random friends could play it for the first time and feel like a pro (button mashing) :)
had one of these at the corner store in my neighborhood i was hooked.
I played this, remember Blanka electricity jumping around.
Lol. I played a Rainbow edition SF2 cabinet at a pizza place when I was a teen. I was just thinking "What the fuck is going on here?!" after starting up a match and fireballs come out of a dragon punch.
Had no clue this version was actually in arcade cabinets, I've never seen one before and always assumed it was some kind of ROM hack people were finding ways to play.
I would have loved to play this back then.
😄👍
I had d wave 4 arcade man my mom and dad made me throw it out man 😢thay said It woz to big 😢
I ran into Rainbow Edition at a Six Flags
i was lucky to play this in a pizzeria in brooklyn new york but i never knew what it was at the time, I was confused but it was really fun
