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.

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.

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.

Technical information

Saving Data

The game makes use of the Saturn's internal battery back-up as well as the Saturn Backup Memory to save data for system configuration as well as unlockables.
