Hack description

The orignal Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition didn't have the original character palettes selectable unless you picked an older version of the character.

The main patch does the following:
- Light Punch (LP) selects the original character color.

- All the alternative color selections are more tasteful/realistic, meaning that only clothing colors change. Not things like skin tone or hair, to keep the characters faithful rather than feeling completely random and out of place. (See the All Characters.png)

- Portraits for characters with orange or beige blood were restored to shades of red match the rest of the cast. (See the Blood Fix.png)

- Balrog (Boxer), Blanka and Dhalsim had their palettes slightly tweaked to reflect their portrait colors.

- Older character version palettes are subtly different so that in the case of an old version character is up against a Super-T LP palette character, you can tell them apart.


The Optional Patch only does the following:
- Light Punch (LP) selects the original character color.

- Older character version palettes are subtly different so that in the case of an old version character is up against a Super-T LP palette character, you can tell them apart.

- No other palette tweaks.

I highly recommend using Bankbank's difficulty fix patch first, it fixes a bug that causes the service mode difficulty settings to be non-functional and always be set to very hard AI.

This hack works with regional variants of this game, simply patch and replace the same files. In a merged ROM the clones are located as folders in the same zip.
