It's not testing material, like Hugo. It's meant to be extra characters. Shadow and Shadow Lady from the Versus series aren't testing material, they're secret characters unlockable by codes, just like the Super characters in Super Turbo.

maybe they used it like sheet while rebalancing moves?

This is just retarded and you have no idea what you're talking about. Even if that were true, this is still irrelevant because it was still in the game and everyone could do it. There is not a shred of logic in the argument you're trying to set up.

That's absolutely ridiculous, what kind of testing purpose would there be to use an older version of a character? Jeez dude.

How is that relevant
And don't fucking say it doesn't count if it wasn't in the manual

What hacked version, Super SF2 Turbo is an official game and had a code to select previous versions, what the hell are you talking about

a mode which lets you pick different versions of each character and fight each other -such as World Warrior Guile against Champion Edition Ken. This concept would be expanded upon greatly in Hyper Street Fighter II.

Super Turbo from '94 was named and did the exact same thing. You could at least try to keep up. The Capcom Classic Collection came in the 2000s, but in the first place, what it includes is the version that came out in '94.

it wouldn't be possible to create character like that in mugen.

What the fuck are you talking about now

They have been doing that since Street fighter alpha3 with the isms.

Far before that, there was an edition of SF2 where you could select previous versions of characters (timings, animations, advantages etc. i.e. the frame data) As in, the very first title in the series (I'm not counting SF1 obviously), there were already enough variations from enough iterations of it to warrant that mode.

point of mugen is crossover matchs from diffirent game engines.

Somehow i doubt you understood what Mugen is and what it was made for.

What are you even saying?

Who cares about Street Fighter? I think a lot care about it; you don't care about Street Fighter, yet you post here; flash animations look like mugen (for you) so it has to be mugen for you (news flash: no, it's not, in any case it's not); you're sure the sprites come from original games but you're not sure about the resources (which are the original games).

Do you even read what you're saying?

People saying Capcom stealing from mugen are being dumb.

While it's absurd to believe that Big Brother Capcom and SNK are watching us and taking our ideas, it would be naive to think that they don't look at Mugen for some kind of inspiration.
