An early script for this episode has been on eBay for several years, but has yet to have been purchased by anybody. The pictures on the listing show several pages, which have a few things of interest. There are some dialogue changes, but until the full thing is available I won't bother listing the differences yet.



The script contains a moves list, which has images and text taken from the SNES and Genesis versions of Street Fighter II. But someone decided to rewrite part of Guile's text to change "sonic boom" to "crescent". Thankfully someone caught this and changed it back to sonic boom in time. This is the only move listed for Guile -he also has the flash kick (which he uses a lot in the series), but it's not listed here.



The text here is mainly taken from the description of Bison's psycho crusher move, but has been changed to "magnetic levitation". The stuff about Bison being able to levitate himself and others isn't from the games manuals, but he does do these things in the series. Again, this is the only move shown for Bison on the script.



This sign is seen in the script with different text and correct spelling. But the sign in the episode features less text and a couple of spelling mistakes.



Guile's opponent had a different name and design in the script. In the script, he's called Bulldog, whilst in the episode, he's called the Crimson Crawdad. The fight plays out the same way in the script as it does in the episode itself though.



In the script, the guy who throws popcorn at Guile was also meant to be the guy who would later try and attack him with a chair, but in the episode, it's two different people. The script has what appears to be two different designs for the "crazed spectator", who have different heads and slightly different outfits. The one on the left looks like he has Escher's head, whilst the one on the right isn't used.



The scene was changed in the episode. Guile isn't seen walking through the rain, and the device he uses requires him to enter a button combination, rather than say anything.




The script features a completely different design for Escher. My guess is one of two things happened:

1) Someone didn't like the above design, and changed it, using the head of the "crazed spectator" design seen above.
2) There was a colossal mess-up by the animators, who used the "crazed spectator" design for Escher in error.



This helicopter design seen in the script isn't seen in the episode.
