For those interested in these types of hacks, new legacy is a balanced and fixed sf2: https://newlegacy.fr/

I think it's worth adding: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix is a rebalancing of Super Turbo done by David Sirlin and officially supported by Capcom. David's design notes and commentary are really interesting.

I'd love to see someone do the same for Capcom vs SNK 2, but a guy can dream, right? :)

Unfortunately it's basically no longer available, and most of its changes are extremely disliked in the community. Which is a shame, because the changes to Ken were overall great but the rest of the changes really tank it. Characters like THawk and Akuma are bad jokes (in each balance direction).
Hmm. I wonder if HD remix would have had more success if they had the opportunity to do a few balance adjustments along the way.
This is another one that you can find on Fightcade:

it's a more significant rework of sf2, has some interesting concepts baked in

By any chance is there a street fighter 2 hack that adds a Vs mode with level select etc to the arcade ROMs?
I love that version, just really wish you could use that beautiful HD art from ST HD remix.
Does this work on Mac?
You’ll need an emulator, but yes, it does.
