Capcom Generation: Dai 5 Shuu Kakutouka-tachi (カプコン ジェネレーション 第5集 格闘家たち) is the fifth of five Capcom Generation compilations, released for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1998.
The compilation includes faithful ports of the first three arcade releases of Street Fighter II, originally released for Capcom's CPS-1 hardware. The last two arcade releases, released for Capcom's CPS-2 hardware, were previously compiled on Street Fighter Collection.

Gameplay
This release is a compilation of the first three versions of Street Fighter II, which are one-on-one fighting games in which the player engages opponents in a series of timed, close-quarters combat matches. Street Fighter II revolutionized the fighting game genre by introducing a greater emphasis on command-based special moves, a combo system, a six-button layout for attacks, a wide selection of playable characters with unique fighting styles, and competitive two-player play. In order to win a round, the player must either completely drain the opponent's health bar by landing attacks or have more health than the opponent when time runs out. Neither fighter wins the round if they have equal health when time expires or if they simultaneously knock each other out. The first fighter to win two rounds is the victor of the match.
Champion Edition adds the ability to play as the four boss characters and play matches against the same character. The character portraits and endings of many characters were redrawn, and the color palette for every stage was changed. Hyper Fighting introduces a faster playing speed and new special moves for several characters. Both versions of the game introduced numerous balance changes.
Characters move with and
and crouch with
. They jump with
and flip back and forth with
and
. Punches are done with
(jab),
(medium), and
(fierce) and kicks are done with
(short),
(medium), and
(roundhouse). Light attacks are faster but do less damage, while hard attacks are slower but deal more damage. Slower attacks leave the character vulnerable for longer if they miss the opponent. Quick attacks can be linked together, with some moves flowing into each other and forming combination attacks (combos) that cannot be blocked once started.
In addition to their regular punches and kicks, every character has multiple special moves, typically showcasing superhuman capabilities. Half of the roster predominantly uses motion-based inputs, where special moves are performed by rolling the D-Pad in a semicircular motion, such as a quarter circle, followed by a punch or a kick button. The strength of the attack button affects the damage inflicted by the special move and often other characteristics, such as the movement speed of a projectile or the distance traveled by the maneuver. The remaining characters use "charged" inputs, where special moves are performed by holding the D-Pad in one direction for at least two seconds to "charge" the attack, then moving the D-Pad in the opposite direction and pressing a punch or a kick button. Charged inputs require more preparation than motion inputs in order to build the charge, but in return, they generally have a quicker recovery time, leaving the character vulnerable for less time after performing the move.
Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, with special moves still doing a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. Characters can block while standing, which blocks against high and mid attacks but not low attacks (such as sweeps), or crouching, which blocks against mid and low attacks but not high attacks (such as jumping attacks). Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way.
Throws and grabs are done by holding or
when next to an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Throws cannot be blocked. Different characters have different throws available to them, and some characters can throw in midair.
Modes
Every game has the same modes:
- Arcade Mode: A series of matches against computer-controlled opponents, ending with the four Shadaloo bosses M. Bison, Balrog, Sagat, and Vega. The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. A second player may join at any time by pressing START on a second control pad, immediately starting a head-to-head match. The winner continues the game in single-player mode. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. After every three matches, the player plays a bonus stage.
- Versus Mode: A dedicated two-player mode where players can choose a handicap, choose the number of rounds to play (1, 3, or 5), and pick any stage to play.
- Training Mode: A practice mode where the player can practice playing a character against a non-hostile opponent, with no time limit and infinite vitality. There is a recording option, and the dummy character can be set to stand, crouch, or jump.
Characters
Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, and
should be reversed.
P | Any punch button |
LP | Light punch |
MP | Medium punch |
HP | Hard punch |
K | Any kick button |
LK | Light kick |
MK | Medium kick |
HK | Hard kick |
For moves that require pressing all three P or K buttons, pressing any two buttons also works.
Playable
In Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting, every character has two selectable color schemes, one chosen by pressing any attack button and a secondary color scheme chosen with START (and also used for mirror matches). Hyper Fighting gives every character a new primary color scheme and uses the original color schemes as the secondary colors.
Bosses
The four boss characters are only playable in Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting.
