I was just thinking about if that strat has a counter. It almost seems like every play you could make has several ways to counter it in the game, especially considering how you can change characters at will. That begs the question...is Rainbow Edition actually balanced? If everything is nuts, then nothing is, after all.

I used to play this at a 7-11 of all places. This was back in the day when there would be 13 or 14 high school kids crowded around any SFII machine. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. There was a guy that used gief to lariat>jump>lariat>jump the whole match up and up through the screen over and over. then at like 20 seconds he would piledriver from like 12 screens above and slam at 1 sec and win the match. It was a huge douche move. I can't believe anyone put this on YT. Well done my man.

I've been waiting for this kind of video for way too long😂 Thank you JMCrofts, this version is very special to me and a small group of friends due to it pulling a lot of us out of a very rough time. It's anything but perfect, but it made us laugh at one of the worst times in our lives Fun fact (haven't seen the full video yet) Zangief can also grab from anywhere on the screen
This was so awesome during my teenage years! I remember playing with Zangief, jumping upward, doing his arm spin to the top screen and appear on the bottom and I continued to repeat this process until it was like 10 secs left in the round, them I would grab the opponent to do the spinning pile-driver. You would see Zangief spin from multiple, circling screens! Ahhh, good times! 🤣🤣
Now I understand what a "loose game" means
I remember playing a hacked version where Zangief's lariat and Sagat's Tiger Uppercut would produce Yoga Flames on from the feet, knees, waist and shoulders and the hadoukens would do two that criss crossed over each other. All the costume colours would be messed up at the start of the next round as well if you changes character during the round.

Our local arcade had this when I was growing up. One guy had a killer strat of just doing spinning bird kick repeatedly because it was invulnerable to just about everything. What I liked doing, however, was using Guile to fireball jump up about 5 screens up until our characters overlapped, and then doing an atomic knee drop air throw. This works, and is very satisfying to watch.
This is awesome & exactly the kind of broken goodness I saw at Galaxy Arcade when I describe my report & pitch to create Turbo SFII Hyper Fighting! Great video!

We had one out here in Hawaii on the Big island. In the Fun factory on Alii drive. It didn't have a known name, as what it actually is, was only a rumor at the time. The walk speed of Dhalsim was insane, just as fast as the fierce fire balls. Zangief can do his spinning fist in air, then jump to do it again, so he can scale multiple screens. Once your past a screen, only a throw can cause collision. So Zangief can then do spinning piledriver in air, grabbing the opponent, then he will scale back down through as many screens as he went up! Suddenly Street fighter becomes a WWF version.
6:34 It sudenly went from a Street Fighter battle to a Dragon Ball Z battle 😂
oh dude.. There was a Rainbow Rom SF2 machine at this diner I used to frequent in the 90's.. so much fun playing this and finding all the crazy combos, glitches & mixes..
OMG.. This version was at my summer camp back in the day and I just thought the game was messed up when I was younger.... Holy hell I had no idea this was an actually thing and brings back some fun memories
I've never seen someone from that era not know what Rainbow Edition was. Especially one who is into the fighting game scene. But in the intro he's blown away by the SF2RE differences. I mean he's gobsmacked. Can't believe his eyes.
The local arcade sold me an arcade cabinet with this PCb in it for £100 back in 1993, I felt like a super star.
It's crazy to think that none of the changes we saw in future revisions of SFII would've existed if not for this romhack. I remember reading an article where someone from Capcom played this version for a bit, noted how crazy it was, and said when he got back to playing the normal version it felt like everything was in slow-motion.
What the???? I just picked up the Rainbow upgrade chips via ebay for my cps1 board and this video came as a suggested clip. Talk about coincidence. Loving this video!
I got to play this in the wild back in the day! It was so much fun, lol!
When he went off screen going up so many times, turning to Zangief and doing a spinning pile driver (grabs from anywhere) would take all life
These are blessed days to see this kind of crazy stuff all over the place, a fantastic janky piece of work for all to see and laugh too!
When he jumped on and off the screen over and over to finally fall back through it 3 times I literally cried laughing
I remember this arcade in my after school program when I was in elementary school. I never knew what edition it was and kind of gave up. Thanks for this
I loved playing this. I would play Zangief, jump and then to the spinning clothesline. Then jump in the air, do it again, repeat, go through the floor about ten times. Then, even though your sprite was ten floors above the opponent, you could grab them with the spinning pile driver, and you would go back down through ten floors before piledriving them into the ground. I always imagined this would do massive damage but it never did. So much fun!
You can just tell where this video is going with Ryu's initial air-fireballs and him flying across the screen with a Dragon Punch! Believe our local Tilt arcade had one of these bootleg editions in the back, right next to MK I with controller ice characters.
I remember this version. As long as you can do a DP, Ken is invincible since his short DP recovers before the DP invulnerability expires so you can just chip from start to end.
Subscribed. Your commentary made this video. "He gets the bite". "He gets the noogie" 🤣🤣🤣 Ivenever heard it called that. I was laughing and smiling. So glad someone likes sf II in any shape or form.
I remember a local video store having this back in long Beach CA. The banner called it Street Fighter 2 : Crazy lol. Such a fun version of SF2
I remember playing this in Mexico when i was a kid. I had some experience with SF 2 and knew how to play, stupid me thought it would carry over to this crazy ass version
Yoooooooo that portal drop to a crouching fierce is crazy lol 5:15
I had the luck of seeing this at a random restaurant back in the day. It was so absurd for years I was afraid it was a fever dream of mine. Guile filling the screen with sonic booms, changing characters simply by pressing start I think, it was insane and chaotic.
That kind of insanity is why I love this channel so much
Reminds me of how the "Magic Plus" version of KoF 2002 is one of the most popular versions of the game in South America (if what I have heard is true). It's not quite as crazy as Rainbow Edition but there's ridiculous stuff like infinite meter, HDSMs at full health, and the ability to tag out team members mid-match.
Rainbow is great. I won an impromptu tournament for it back at CEO 2019 with the Ryu air fireballs. Big fan. Definitely recommend y'all run SF2 Xiang Long Koryu at some point just to see it devolve into Shoto DPs versus Gief SPD the game. You can cancel hitstun into special moves in that version. It's blessed.
I remember playing this at the arcade in my local chippy, balrog was my dude those punches with fireballs were invincible
I played a variant of Rainbow back in Korea in the mid-00s. With Zangief I'd repeatedly jump, midair lariat, and when I was three or four screens above the opponent, SPD them. The logic for the grab doesn't care how vertical you are, just that you're within horizontal range.
One of the arcades by my Grandma's place had Street Fighter II: Rainbow Edition. That variation was insanity the first time playing it.
This was called "Rocket Fighter" in Turkey's arcades back in the day. I always lost my shit whenever I saw Zangief throwing Sonic Booms everytime he did his spin move lol. Thanks for the nostalgia man.
Wow! I remember the arcade room at the Fort Bragg PX had this version of SF2 when I was in a kid in the early 90s. I was like wtf is this?! 😂
Ahmagad. THIS was my first introduction to arcade SF and SF in general. These machines and version were everywhere. Then I played snes version and wondered why Balrog (boxer) couldn't shoot fireballs with his punches or why tatsu didn't clear fullscreen or where the horizontal element to the dragon punch had gone off to. Didn't realize it was a bootleg but makes perfect since when I think about it.
Got to play a variant of Rainbow edition on arcade a long time ago at some beach arcade shack while living in PR. Always felt like a fever dream.
We used to play this at the Arcade, loved it. we had so much fun
My arcade had a cabinet with Rainbow and ST on way back in the day when I was a kid, so much fun
The version I played you could air throw to suck them down multiple screens. Blanka's bite would turn into ryu and a 5 hit shoryuken. Ken and ryu's fierce shoryuken would release a wall of fireballs. Jab fireballs would be so slow you could spend half the match dodging around it. Chun li's lightning kick moved forward with no knock back so you could corner trap them
i remember playing this in a street corner store years ago 😂 good shit
The best thing on this video are the awesome sound effects of jmcrofts
Thanks man. Rainbow was the only cabinet I ever clocked. Even then it was an all you can eat affair. Couldn't beat World Warrior or Championship Edition even on a prepaid free for all after the bigger kids were done with them. But I did clock Rainbow. Spamming sonic booms and flashing everything that dared to jump above them, which still took some timing against Dictator.
Friend had a neo-geo that had tons of rainbow editions and weird bootleg sf2 games. People watch the cpu runs but the insane matches you have with another human are gold. I just remember being wrecked by a flying zangief 100% uptime lariat with yoga flames at his feet.
When Ryu comes through the bottom and opps changes to Zangief, he can SPD during the hadouken animation of he's below him. Likewise, if he didn't change from Vega, he could air throw when Ryu jumps between fireballs.😅
The answer to screen climbing is Zangief. His SPD in most versions of Rainbow don't care about your altitude. I used to climb screen with him, SPD from multiple screens up, just to see how far we can drop. You can SPD people no matter how high in the air either character is.
As a huge aside, if you were ever curious... Malört is pronounced with a slight separation in the middle (mal-ört) and ö is pronounced kinda like the 'i' in "stir". A literal translation would be "moth weed/herb" if you ever wondered about the taste (mal = moth, ört = herb).
I loved using Zangief in this version! Jump into the sky and spinning lariat, then when near opponent, do the spinning pile driver! Invincible! But you need to time your lariats or else you’re a free target.
This was hype, ty!
Street Fighter 2 Accelerator Part II is actually a toned down version of this, and it's highly playable!

Rainbox Ed was my high school days. Best I remember seeing was Zangief chars going up the screen multiple times and pull of spinning piledrivers that would then drop at a ridiculous rate. The ROM was so broken, but we loved it.
NAH THE most broken sf2 would be the one where one shoryu fills the screen with like 7 hadokens somethin and blankas elec moves in the ground mad fast and doesnt stop until ur dead from chip and zagief lariat moves fast as well with yoga flame on his legs ......balrog dash punch no charge and comes in with 3 hadokens lol
I played this game back in 1992 or so.. I remember Zangief clearly spinning and jumping up. When a friend and I played this, we would go up then appear from the bottom but we'd keep this up and up and up untill Zangief would disappear from the top and appear from the bottom multiple times... but when you stop spinning and just let go, he would fall multiple screens until he reaches the starting point. It was hilarious.
jmcrofts actually does some pretty dope commentary. 'Reaching for the nachos', I'm dead. XD
The first time I played this was in an arcade back in the 90s. The winning strat was to throw a chain of dp sonic booms which was unavoidable. Cuz it filled the screen with slow moving sonic booms that would follow the opponent so it was impossible to jump over. So in 2 man competition it became a contest of who can throw sonic booms the most consistently. Cuz if you miss one input, you get wrecked.
This was too good lol. I played rainbow edition (other version tho) in my childhood. Zangief was actually the best character because of the flame lariat and the psychic piledriver.

I kid you not - I used to have an arcade cabinet with a very similar version (look up Street Fighter 2 Accelerator) at my place a long time ago. So oddly enough, this brings back a lot of memories. X3
So I actually knew about the air fireball letting you jump again thing and how your character would wrap around the screen but not actually be on the same layer or whatever. That's because there was a Gameshark code for air specials back on, I believe I had Super Street Fighter II for the Genesis. Most specials weren't meant to be used in the air, and using a fireball like that would simply create a temporary grounded state when they used it, allowing the character to jump again.
i actually played this in an arcade in mexico when I was like 8-10, I never knew it was a rom hack and it makes so much sense. I remember someone using Guile and just blasting like 30 sonic booms lol
