Gameplay
Super Street Fighter II
- Main article: Super Street Fighter II.
A port of Super Street Fighter II appears on the first disc. Compared to the previous Sega Mega Drive port, the visuals and sounds of this version are much more faithful to the arcade original, but it does not contain the extra modes or the speed settings added to the Mega Drive port. It contains a single-player Arcade Mode (with eight different difficulty levels) and a two-player Versus Mode.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo
A port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo appears on the first disc. The game is a versus fighting game that builds on the foundation of Super Street Fighter II but introduces several new gameplay mechanics, including the addition of special moves called Super Combos and air combos. It also introduced the secret character Akuma, who would go on to become a recurring character in later Street Fighter installments and other Capcom fighting games. Returning characters have received new moves, new animations, and numerous balance changes. The game also adds three speed settings.
The Arcade Mode is a single-player mode consisting of twelve matches against randomly chosen computer-controlled opponents, always concluding with the four bosses Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison. If certain conditions are met, Akuma appears before the fight with M. Bison, pummels him, and fights the player instead. A second player can enter at any time to challenge the first by pressing START , with the victor continuing in the tournament. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. There is also a dedicated two-player Versus Mode where players can choose a handicap and pick any stage to play.
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. 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 recover from a throw in the air and reduce the damage taken by likewise holding the D-Pad in the direction of the opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. 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.
Characters have a Super meter that fills when the player lands attacks on an opponent. When the meter fills, it changes to read "SUPER," indicating that the player can perform a Super Combo, 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 Super meter is reset after every round. If the opponent is defeated by a Super move at the end of the round, the background changes to a burst of light to indicate it was used as the final move.
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. For moves that require pressing all three P or K buttons, pressing any two buttons also works.
The roster from Super Street Fighter II is carried over, with many characters receiving new moves. Akuma is added as a hidden character.
Stages
Each character has his or her own stage where matches are hosted (with the exception of Akuma, who is fought in M. Bison's stage). The stage can be manually chosen in the two-player mode.

Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold
- Main article: Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold.
The second disc of the set contains Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, an enhanced version of the original Street Fighter Alpha 2 (based on Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, an arcade-only upgrade released in Japan, Asia, and South America). All of the game modes and features from the previous port are featured, with the exception of the Saturn-exclusive Illustrations gallery. A new Akuma Mode has been added, where the player can fight Shin Akuma directly without needing to satisfy the conditions to make him appear as a foe in the Arcade Mode. Some characters have new moves and Super Combos. Champion Edition-style renditions of all the Street Fighter II characters have been added, alongside Cammy as a hidden character (as she previously appeared in X-Men vs. Street Fighter).
History
Development
In North America, the game was originally announced at E3 1997 as Super Street Fighter Collection[5].
Release
This release was significant at the time as it was provided the first wide release of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, originally released to arcades in 1994. Though it is now considered the definitive version of Street Fighter II, it was difficult to find in Western regions until the release of this compilation for the Saturn and the PlayStation since the only previous console port it received was for the comparatively obscure 3DO and since the Western release of the arcade game was unpopular because of the notoriously high difficulty of its computer-controlled opponents (which was corrected in the Western releases for Street Fighter Collection).
Even though the packaging for the PAL version does not mention Virgin Interactive, their logo still appears in-game.
Legacy
Capcom would later release Capcom Generation: Dai 5 Shuu Kakutouka-tachi for the Saturn and the PlayStation, which collects the three other arcade versions of Street Fighter II. The PlayStation version was released internationally as Street Fighter Collection 2.
