Street Fighter Alpha 2, known as Street Fighter Zero 2 (ストリートファイターZERO2) in Japan, is a versus fighting game and a sequel to Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams. It was released for the Sega Saturn (among other systems) in 1996 with the same features as its predecessor.
Contents
Gameplay
A revision of the game known as Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Prime in Europe and Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash (ストリートファイターZERO2′) in Japan, was created the following year as part of the compilation title Street Fighter Collection. Its main attraction was the inclusion of a secret character: Cammy (as she appeared in X-Men vs. Street Fighter), selectable only in the game's Versus and Training modes. This version was given a separate Japanese release the following year under the Satakore (Saturn Collection) label instead of the original.
Characters
Street Fighter Alpha 2 builds on the cast seen in the original Street Fighter Alpha, reintroducing some of the missing fighters from Street Fighter II as well as creating some new ones.
| Ryu | |
|---|---|
| Ryu returns from the tournament of the original Street Fighter to find that his master, Gouken has been murdered by Akuma. Ryu is also involved with the plots of Ken, Sagat, Akuma, and Sakura. | |
| Adon | |
| Sagat's former student, angered at him for losing to Ryu during the original Street Fighter. | |
| Chun-Li | |
File:Chunny-original-stance1.gif Her unlockable original sprite. | |
| Guy | |
| One of the three heroes from Final Fight. Guy is warned by his master, Zeku, of an emerging threat to the world, so he seeks to stop this new mysterious evil. | |
| Ken | |
| Ryu's best friend. In his story, he bears witness to his master Gouken's murder and vows to avenge his death. | |
| Dhalsim | |
| A returning character from Street Fighter II. An Indian yogi who gets involved in the recent events to raise money for his poor village. | |
| Gen | |
| A returning fighter from the original Street Fighter. A Chinese fighter suffering from leukemia who enters the fighting scene once again to find a worthy opponent that can finish him off. | |
| Sakura | |
| A Japanese schoolgirl who idolizes Ryu, whose fighting style she has imitated. Hoping for a match and an autograph with him, she cuts classes and goes on a journey around the world. | |
| Rolento | |
| One of the boss characters from Final Fight. An ex-Mad Gear member who wants to create his own utopic nation through underhanded methods. | |
| Zangief | |
| Another returning character from Street Fighter II. A Soviet wrestler who travels around the world showing the strength of "the Great Motherland". | |
| Charlie (Nash) | |
| Guile's missing friend. A USAF first lieutenant who is given the order to find and destroy the Shadaloo base. | |
| Birdie | |
| Another returning fighter from the original Street Fighter. A street thug from England who is interested in joining Shadaloo, he sets out to prove his strength to Bison and gain membership. | |

| Sagat | |
| Sagat returns from the tournament of the original Street Fighter, seeking to become stronger and wanting a rematch with Ryu. | |
| Akuma (Gouki) | |
| Akuma, much like Ryu, travels the world, searching for opponents worthy enough to match the might of the Satsui no Hadou. He also expresses interest in Ryu's potential. | |
| M. Bison (Vega) | |
| The leader of world criminal organization Shadaloo. His actions involve drug trafficking and arms dealing, among others. As a result, he and his organization have gained a lot of notoriety. | |

| Evil Ryu | |
| Unlockable. A what if version of Ryu having subcombed to the power of the Satsui no Hadou. | |
| Shin Akuma (Shin Gouki) | |
| Unlockable. A more powerful version of Akuma's form and style, tapping into the true potential of the Satsui no Hadou. | |
| Cammy | |
| Unlockable only in Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold. Another returning fighter from Street Fighter II, this version of Cammy represents her time working for Shadaloo as "Agent Killer Bee," the leader of the Dolls. |
Versions
- Having originally been released a month after the PlayStation version in Japan, the Saturn version includes additional features (namely an Illustrations menu and a corresponding new music track) despite both versions seeing a simultaneous release overseas. Mega Man 8, another Capcom title, would follow the same trend.
- Due to hardware limitations, Survival Mode is cut from Alpha 2 in favor of Training Mode and Training Mode is cut from Alpha 2 Gold in favor of Survival Mode for the PlayStation versions. The respective Saturn versions incorporate both modes.
- Alpha 2 Gold adds an Akuma Mode (Gouki Mode in Japan) where the player faces Shin Akuma (Shin Gouki) in a best of 3 match. For the Saturn version, this comes at the cost of its exclusive Illustrations feature.
