Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition (English hack)

[cabbage]

Here is an English patch I have been working on: SF2CE.ips

I know Street Fighter II is not really a game that needed translating, but I was playing it a lot recently so it seemed like a fun one to start with.

The script is just taken from various youtube videos. There are probably a few strings I missed, so if you're playing and come across a blank screen or one that just shows a number, please let me know more details (which character, the number shown if there is one, etc)

It was really a chore to get everything to fit in the limited freespace available, so unfortunately I decided to just cut out much of the credits at the end of the game to make more room... I feel just awful about it, and I'm hesitant to even post the patch for this reason... but (most of) the credits are still in-tact for one of the two ending types. (Why doesn't that make me feel any better?)

So, it's not perfect, but I'm a bit sick of working on it for the time being. I would rather move on to something new. Maybe someone else is interested in trying to restore the credits or polish up the script a bit? PM if so, but I won't hold my breath..hehe

Feedback is welcome. Enjoy!

Dude, even though I'm not the biggest fan of this genre, I still think this is a worthy project. 

Why not?

The compromise with the ending credits...well, hey, slap WIP or BETA on it to assuage your shame.

[Bernie]

hmm, why not.  I will give it a go.

[Arkhan]

Did you at least make Ken and Ryu say homoerotic things about each other? 

I would've.

OMG finally somebody is doing this!  I've wanted to do this for years!  lol

Tomaitheous and I actually worked on a patch for this a few years ago, complete with updated stage graphics and other minor graphical changes.

I even changed the title screen this lol:

Hmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I apply this patch to the version of the ROM I have, it doesn't seem to work.  The music gets a little screwed up and there are some graphical artifacts here and there, but that's it.  :/

I want that fighting street II' patch...

Sadly, we never finished it.  :/

What kind of graphical upgrades were there? Finally parallax in the backgrounds? More frames?

You might have to use the one with the header, or the one without the header!   That crap matters half the time.

Just try it on ALL THE ROMS TIL IT WORKS YEAHHHHH

Just better looking backgrounds.  You couldn't really do parallax unless you made it an SGX game.  You wouldn't be able to add more sprite frames unless you upped the size of the HuCard to 24Mbit either.  A couple extra bg animation frames here and there would not be out of the question, though, depending on the amount of free space in the ROM.

Here are a couple comparison shots of the work i did on it.  Original on the left, updated on the right.

Fragmare, that is extremely impressive. O_O

Please finish the patch, I would play it.

GODDAMN. That is certainly an improvement.

Quite impressive

Ah, I forgot to mention the patch requires a ROM with no header. I just tested it on both "Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition (J).pce" and "Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition (J) [a1].pce" -- it indeed destroys the music if a header is present(!) but seems OK after removal.

Someone please let me know if you can get it to work!! This is my first time making a patch so I wouldn't be surprised if I f*cked something up.

OT but since the thread already wandered, anyone know what that "Avenging Angels" hack is?

That is nice Fragmare. But in the arcade I recall the snake around Blanka's tree being green, I have never seen a green snake in any of the home versions. I could live without the Fighting Street 2 title screen, though. I always thought that name was just stupid. I vote that the patch should be completed. Maybe that's why Tom was asking about Everdrive features on Kriksz's forum recently.
