In Japan, the apostrophe-like character on the game's official logo is actually a prime symbol and thus the official title is pronounced Street Fighter II Dash - Champion Edition.

This game is an enhanced version of "Street Fighter II - The World Warrior" :

* New moves were added for some characters.
* The portraits of Chun Li and M. Bison have been recolored.
* Overall hit damage was reduced (favoring combos attacks instead of special moves).
* Special moves were tweaked a bit (i.e. : the fighting styles of Ryu and Ken were distinguishable from one another)
* The main title screen was changed from black to blue.
* Various cosmetic enhancements were made to each character's physical appearance.
* Ryu's original SFII stage featured breakable 'Fuurinkazan' signs. These signs have been removed in this game and are not seen again until "Hyper Street Fighter II - The Anniversary Edition".
* In Ken's original SFII stage, there were two barrels and a stack of boxes which were a single breakable item. From "Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition" to "Super Street Fighter II Turbo" ("Super Street Fighter II X - Grand Master Challenge" in Japan), there is just a single barrel in Ken's stage. The two barrels and stack of boxes from the original SFII would later return in "Hyper Street Fighter II - The Anniversary Edition".
* Sagat's stage in the original SFII had a palm tree in the foreground. The palm tree is gone in this game and does not return.
