[1] Four of the games (Hyper Fighting, Super Turbo, Alpha 3, and 3rd Strike) support online multiplayer, including ranked matchmaking. [1] Online lobbies can support up to four players and a player can fight against a CPU opponent while waiting for online battles to be ready. [1] The Nintendo Switch version of the game includes an exclusive eight-player tournament mode for Super Street Fighter II that can be played locally with four consoles. [2]
The collection includes bonus features such as a museum to view concept art, pitch documents and facts about each release; a music player to listen to tracks across the series; an interactive timeline that chronicles the series' history; and biographies that provide background information, stories, sprite art and animations for characters in the series.

[4] The collection was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 29 May 2018, [1] [5] although it was delayed in Japan to address fan feedback.
