This game is a hack of Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, notable for modifying many gameplay aspects, the most noticeable being the ability to transform into other characters and being able to pull off special moves in midair. Some of the special moves were modified, such as the Hadokens, which can either home in on the opponent or travel extremely fast, as well as 7 different characters being able to execute them as opposed to just Ryu and Ken. Zangief moves noticeably faster in this game, and E. Honda can pull off Hadokens when performing his Hyakuretsu Harite. The graphics and music are identical to those in the original game aside from the title's logo, which is now rainbow-coloured, which is where this hack gets its name from. Although there are many different revisions of this hack readily dumped and emulated, several versions are still left undumped. The rampant craziness with these hacks and the popularity of arcade distributors putting these hacks in machines was one of the reasons behind the creation of the legitimate Street Fighter II: Turbo Hyper Fighting update.

Really stupid (in a good way)

A melhor experiência possível disso daqui é jogar numa máquina, porquê tu sempre vai jogar contra alguém que não tem ideia do que está fazendo. Diabolicamente divertido sumir com a ficha dos caras em coisa de 20 segundos

A thing of history this one. Essentially a bootleg of SF2 with some, changes to say the least. In a way I would criticise other games for it, this game I praise for having glitches. Being able to do a hadoken in mid air to the point where the character jumps off screen, only to show back up from the bottom and avoiding all damage. Dhalsim being insanely fast. your character switching MID FIGHT.

There's nothing to hate other than it being SF2. I wouldn't go as far as to say the game was good, but it is enjoyable

In Brazil we call this 'Bus Station Street Fighter' for the funniest most inexplicable reason.
