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 in 1996.

Gameplay

Character select

The game is a one-on-one fighting game that most of the new features introduced in the original Street Fighter Alpha, such as the three-level Super Combo gauge, Alpha Counters, Air Blocking, and Fall Breaking. New to the game is a Custom Combo system (Original Combo in Japan), replacing the Chain Combos from the first game. If the Super Combo gauge is at level 1 or higher, the player can initiate a Custom Combo pressing two punch buttons and a kick or one punch button and two kicks. The player can then perform any series of basic and special moves to create a Custom Combo until the Timer Gauge at the bottom of the screen runs out. The characters Guy and Gen can still perform Chain Combos, but only to a limited extent. Additionally, each character now has two Alpha Counters instead of just one: one that can be performed with a kick button and another with a punch button.

The single-player mode again consists of eight matches against computer-controlled opponents, including a fixed final opponent whose identity depends on the player's selected character. Each character also has a secret rival that they can face during the course of the single-player mode if the player has at least five Super Combo finishes and does not lose a match before the sixth battle. When these requirements are met, the rival interrupts the player's next match and exchanges dialogue with and fights the player's character. With Akuma now a regular character, a more powerful version of the character dubbed Shin Akuma replaces him as a secret opponent. Unlike Super Turbo and the original Alpha, Shin Akuma challenges the player before the player's final opponent, rather than as an alternate final boss.

The console ports feature an optional arranged soundtrack, a dedicated two-player Versus Mode (where two players can fight each other), a Training Mode (where a single player can practice against a non-hostile character), and a Survival Mode (where the player chooses a character and tries to defeat as many opponents as possible with a single vitality bar). The Saturn version additionally has Illustrations, an exclusive mode containing 100 pieces of art for the game. The game saves high scores to the console's internal memory.

Characters move with and and flip back and forth with and . They crouch with . Punches are done with (jab), (medium), and (fierce) and kicks are done with (short), (medium), and (roundhouse). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Characters can perform a taunt with +, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.

Throws and grabs are done by holding the D-Pad toward an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, and some characters can throw in midair. Throws cannot be blocked, but a player can reduce the damage taken from a fall by likewise holding the D-Pad in the direction of the opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. It is also possible to roll on the ground after falling from a throw or other attack by pressing P (or P if facing left).

Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent and can also be done in midair. Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way. In addition, players can perform a special counterattacking technique called an Alpha Counter (Zero Counter in the Japanese version) after blocking an opponent's attack, which consumes a level of the Super Combo gauge. These are combos that are performed by interrupting the animation of one basic move by performing another of equal or greater strength.

Characters have a Super Combo gauge that fills as the player performs regular and special techniques. When the gauge reaches level 1 or higher, the player can perform a Super Combo technique, which is a more powerful version of a special attack, using a button combination that is slightly more complex than those used by special moves. The number of punch or kick buttons pressed simultaneously when performing a Super Combo determines the strength of the attack and thus the number of levels that are consumed (with equivalent to ++ and equivalent to ++).

There are two playing styles that can be selected after choosing a character: Normal and Auto. Auto differs from Normal in that the character automatically guards against a limited number of attacks (provided the character is not in the middle of performing an attack). Auto also allows the player to perform an instant Super Combo by pressing a punch and kick button of the same strength simultaneously, but at the expense of reducing the maximum level of the Super Combo gauge to one.

Characters

Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, and should be reversed. P refers to any of the punch buttons, while K refers to any of the kick buttons.

All 13 characters from the original Street Fighter Alpha return (with M. Bison, Akuma, and Dan now available to play without needing cheat codes), plus 5 additional fighters (Sakura, Gen, Rolento, Zangief, and Dhalsim).

History

Legacy

An updated version called Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold was included as part of Street Fighter Collection in 1997. It was later released separately, exclusively in Japan, as Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash in 1998.

The game was followed by Street Fighter Alpha 3, which was ported to the Saturn (as Street Fighter Zero 3, released exclusively in Japan) and to the Dreamcast in 1999.

Versions

Both the Saturn and PlayStation versions feature an arranged soundtrack, with only the Saturn version looping properly like the arcade version.

Since it was released a month after the PlayStation version in Japan, the Saturn version includes additional features (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.

The PlayStation version served as the basis for the Windows PC port.

+'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', 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]] in 1996.
 ==Gameplay==
+{{ScreenThumb|Street Fighter Alpha 2, Character Select.png|width=200|Character select}}
+The game is a one-on-one fighting game that most of the new features introduced in the original ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]]'', such as the three-level Super Combo gauge, Alpha Counters, Air Blocking, and Fall Breaking. New to the game is a Custom Combo system (Original Combo in Japan), replacing the Chain Combos from the first game. If the Super Combo gauge is at level 1 or higher, the player can initiate a Custom Combo pressing two punch buttons and a kick or one punch button and two kicks. The player can then perform any series of basic and special moves to create a Custom Combo until the Timer Gauge at the bottom of the screen runs out. The characters Guy and Gen can still perform Chain Combos, but only to a limited extent. Additionally, each character now has two Alpha Counters instead of just one: one that can be performed with a kick button and another with a punch button.
+The single-player mode again consists of eight matches against computer-controlled opponents, including a fixed final opponent whose identity depends on the player's selected character. Each character also has a secret rival that they can face during the course of the single-player mode if the player has at least five Super Combo finishes and does not lose a match before the sixth battle. When these requirements are met, the rival interrupts the player's next match and exchanges dialogue with and fights the player's character. With Akuma now a regular character, a more powerful version of the character dubbed Shin Akuma replaces him as a secret opponent. Unlike ''Super Turbo'' and the original ''Alpha'', Shin Akuma challenges the player before the player's final opponent, rather than as an alternate final boss.
+The console ports feature an optional arranged soundtrack, a dedicated two-player Versus Mode (where two players can fight each other), a Training Mode (where a single player can practice against a non-hostile character), and a Survival Mode (where the player chooses a character and tries to defeat as many opponents as possible with a single vitality bar). The Saturn version additionally has Illustrations, an exclusive mode containing 100 pieces of art for the game. The game saves high scores to the console's internal memory.
+Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and flip back and forth with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. They crouch with {{down}}. Punches are done with {{X}} (jab), {{Y}} (medium), and {{Z}} (fierce) and kicks are done with {{A}} (short), {{B}} (medium), and {{C}} (roundhouse). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Characters can perform a taunt with {{L}}+{{R}}, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.
+Throws and grabs are done by holding the D-Pad toward an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, and some characters can throw in midair. Throws cannot be blocked, but a player can reduce the damage taken from a fall by likewise holding the D-Pad in the direction of the opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. It is also possible to roll on the ground after falling from a throw or other attack by pressing {{QCB}} {{punch}} (or {{QCF}} {{punch}} if facing left).
+Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent and can also be done in midair. Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way. In addition, players can perform a special counterattacking technique called an Alpha Counter (Zero Counter in the Japanese version) after blocking an opponent's attack, which consumes a level of the Super Combo gauge. These are combos that are performed by interrupting the animation of one basic move by performing another of equal or greater strength.
+Characters have a Super Combo gauge that fills as the player performs regular and special techniques. When the gauge reaches level 1 or higher, the player can perform a Super Combo technique, which is a more powerful version of a special attack, using a button combination that is slightly more complex than those used by special moves. The number of punch or kick buttons pressed simultaneously when performing a Super Combo determines the strength of the attack and thus the number of levels that are consumed (with {{L}} equivalent to {{X}}+{{Y}}+{{Z}} and {{R}} equivalent to {{A}}+{{B}}+{{C}}).
+There are two playing styles that can be selected after choosing a character: Normal and Auto. Auto differs from Normal in that the character automatically guards against a limited number of attacks (provided the character is not in the middle of performing an attack). Auto also allows the player to perform an instant Super Combo by pressing a punch and kick button of the same strength simultaneously, but at the expense of reducing the maximum level of the Super Combo gauge to one.
 ===Characters===
-''Street Fighter Alpha 2'' features all 13 characters from the original ''Street Fighter Alpha'' (with M. Bison, Akuma and Dan now serving as regular fighters), plus 5 additional fighters (Sakura, Gen, Rolento, Zangief and Dhalsim). Like in the first game, the final boss varies between fighter and there is also a secret rival character that will challenge your character once certain conditions has been met.
+Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, {{left}} and {{right}} should be reversed. {{punch}} refers to any of the punch buttons, while {{kick}} refers to any of the kick buttons.
-The Saturn version was the only console port at the time to feature Evil Ryu, EX Zangief and EX Dhalsim, the latter two being Zangief and Dhalsim with their move set from ''Street Fighter II': Champion Edition'' (meaning they can't air-block or use Super Combos and such), in addition to Original Chun-Li and Shin Akuma, who were in all the other console versions.
+All 13 characters from the original ''Street Fighter Alpha'' return (with M. Bison, Akuma, and Dan now available to play without needing cheat codes), plus 5 additional fighters (Sakura, Gen, Rolento, Zangief, and Dhalsim).

+==History==
+===Legacy===
+An updated version called ''Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold'' was included as part of ''[[Street Fighter Collection]]'' in 1997. It was later released separately, exclusively in Japan, as ''[[Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash]]'' in 1998.
+The game was followed by ''[[Street Fighter Alpha 3]]'', which was ported to the [[Saturn]] (as ''[[Street Fighter Zero 3]]'', released exclusively in Japan) and to the [[Dreamcast]] in 1999.
 ==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.
+Both the Saturn and [[PlayStation]] versions feature an arranged soundtrack, with only the Saturn version looping properly like the arcade version.
+Since it was released a month after the PlayStation version in Japan, the Saturn version includes additional features (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.
+The PlayStation version served as the basis for the [[Windows PC]] port.
