Super Power System (Street Fighter II Cards) from Korea

[Cauterize]

Alright you import loving NTSC-UK guys, im hoping your import expertise will help me identify the following cards.

These cards I picked up at the boot sale years ago, but never got round to scanning or sorting out. I only found these 6 cards with nothing else to go with them.

All I can make out is that they were for a 'Super Power System' that was made in Korea. My first guess is the small black marks are for scanning somehow.

So any information on these will be greatly appreciated as Google isnt providing the info today




Thanks!

Is this not the Korean version of a Barcode Battler?

[Sketcz]

No idea what they're for, but that's an awesome find! I love obscure stuff like this.

I used to have LOADS of those DBZ cards when I was younger. Pretty much the full set.

[Sketcz]

Did you live in Thailand?

On a more serious note: you mean you had a whole bunch of SPS cards? Which would mean they were actually sold in the UK...?

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Nah, had some Chinese mates when I was younger and they used to get me loads of stuff every time they went to Hong Kong.

Oh awesome! Fantastic work Mr S
Thanks for posting this up. I honestly believed that they would use some handheld system like the Barcode Battler, never mind a little slip wallet.
Thanks again, I might have another SF2 curiosity to reveal to you at some point, I'll be in touch

Hey all. I grew up in Korea from 92-99 and we collected these cards. I still have hundreds of them that im trying to establish a value for. The black marks on the back are for a wallet slip that when the card is installed it displays a a power level in digital number format. You dont really need the slip to read it though. There is a complication with the cards though: Vega's name is misprinted as Balrog, Balrog is misprinted as M. Bison and M. Bison is misprinted Vega. I'm not sure if this increases or decreases the value. Normally a misprint is more valuable but since these misprints are on almost all of them im not sure what to think. The power level of the cards you displayed are: 90 for Zangief, 43 for Ryu, 80 M. Bison, 48 for Dalsim, 04 for E. Honda and 94 Sagat.

Vega's name is misprinted as Balrog, Balrog is misprinted as M. Bison and M. Bison is misprinted Vega

Those are the original Japanese names.

Yeah. Capcom got in a bit of trouble for calling the Boxer M.Bison, so they switched all the names around in the West, aside from Sagat (who was already known from SF1). This is why today, to avoid confusion, all Street Fighter fan references refer to "boxer" etc so everyone knows who you're talking about.

Dudley v Balrog is what I want to see!

How was the game played? Or does no one know?
