The localizations of the early Street Fighter games, as you may already be aware of, didn't exactly have the most accurate or faithful of video game translations. While most of the endings didn't diverge that much, in terms of the characters' backstories and motivations, two endings in particular, Fei-Long and Cammy, were translated in a way that changed their whole characterizations.
Granted, the endings in the GBA version (Street Fighter II Revival) and the recently released Street Fighter II HD Remix, are somewhat more accurate to the original endings in the Japanese version of Super SF2, they also made quite a few revisions that still made them differ from the originals.
So I've taken the liberty of translating the orignal endings for Cammy and Fei-Long from the Japanese arcade version of Super SF2. Here are the endings for Fei-Long and Cammy Cammy from the English version of the game for comparison purposes. This time, I'll be using the Japanese for the military commander of Shadaloo (Vega).
Fei-Long's ending translated from the Japanese version.

Director: "Well, well, well, that was splending!"

Director: "Your technique are the real deal!"

Director: "Surely, you must star in my next film!"

Fei-Long: ...Sorry, but now I understand. My true passion is not acting."

Fei-Long: "Its actual fighting."

Director: "Surely you don't mean that... Just tell me the price and I'll pay..."

Director: "H-hey! Come back!"

The action star from Hong Kong vanished from the screen.

Twenty years has passed...

The "Sky Soaring style of Kung Fu" presently has over 3 million disciples.

Since the morning of today, the plaza has been crowded with recent converts standing before the memorial statue of the art's founder.

"To be strict with oneself" Respected by all of his disciples, the name of this master was none other than..."
Cammy's ending translated from the Japanese version.

Cammy: "Vega, tell me the truth."

Cammy: "What do you know...about my past?"

Vega: "Very well. Three years ago you were a spy sent out on a mission by my organization."

Cammy: "...!!"

Vega: "It can't be. So you really lost your memories."

Cammy: "You're lying!!"

Vega: "You have no use for me at this point. Now leave..."

Cammy: "What... will I do now?"

Cammy: "Its you!"

Delta Red member: "Our mission here is done. Now let's go home."

Cammy: "But, I..."

Delta Red member: "Your past is unimportant. What matters is the future! We're your friends, aren't we?"

Cammy: "Thanks... Everyone."

The soldiers returned home to their homeland, where their loved ones were waiting.
