Okay, we all know there was the regular edition of Street Fighter, Championship edition, etc. but I remember a version at my local pizza parlor where you could throw as many fireballs as you wanted without having to wait for one to go off the screen. Not only that, you could throw them in the air and keep jumping up afterwards, enabling you to go to the top of the screen, at which point you'd reappear at the bottom. Jumping over your opponent and pressing a fierce button would also initiate a throw without actually making contact. Do you know this version of Street Fighter? There was also another variation at another place where fireballs would fly in a zigzag formation.

I actually did a lot of searching online and the closest version I found was the "Hyper Fighting" hack on the MAME console. Not the same.

Since I was a top competetive Street Fighter player, I'll bring this old topic to life.

This version you are talking about is not an official version. There were a few hacked-up versions of Champion Edition... people were electronically altering the board to get the game to go faster and do funky things, then setting them back in the cabinet. Many of these appeared in California. These funky versions are the main reason the gameplay speed was increaded in Hyper-fighting (or SF2 Turbo).
