The title saw a rush of demand when it was made available on August 2 and has been downloaded more often than any other title in its first day of availability. Charles Bellfield, vice president of marketing for developers Capcom said he was "elated" with the success of the company’s first ever game for Xbox Live Arcade. He said: "We are elated by the tremendous response Xbox Live users have given ’Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting’ as players around the world vie to be on top of the game’s numerous leaderboards. "It’ll be exciting to see who ranks number one on Xbox Live Arcade after the first weekend of gamers playing the greatest arcade title in history."
