If you have ever wondered why the characters in Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers have a ridiculous eight costume colors, then now you will know. This special version is quite rare but allows eight players to fight in a tournament. The reason for the eight costume colors is so all eight players can choose the same character and not get confused about which one they are.
