This challenge consists of fifty trivia questions focusing on the three CPS1 SF2 titles: World Warrior, Champion Edition, and Hyper Fighting. For the purposes of this quiz, let’s pretend HSF2 doesn’t exist. Otherwise a lot of “in which game” questions would apply to HSF2 as well.
Answer as many questions as you can off the top of your head and post them as a single comment, without reading through anyone else’s responses. There are no prizes so there’s no incentive to cheat.
Obviously you can do a little research if you like, but it would take too long to verify every single answer. This shouldn’t take anyone longer than an hour to get through.
Roughly two weeks from today, i’ll make a separate entry containing all of the answers so you can check how many you got right and find out what you missed. In the meantime, good luck!
