An English adaptation of the series was produced by the dubbing groupAnimaze forManga Entertainment in 1996, using much of the same cast fromStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie, and was released in Australia and the USA as a series of VHS tapes from 1997−1998. The Animaze dub used an untitled instrumental theme composed for it by Mike Egan.
In 1997, ADV Films produced an English dub exclusively for the UK market, also released on VHS. This dub kept the original Japanese intro and outro themes. As it was only released on VHS, as such, it is hard to track down the ADV version.
