Introduction

Gameplay

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. 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 finishes at least five rounds with a Super Combo or a Custom Combo 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. There are eight difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents.

The console ports feature an optional arranged soundtrack, a dedicated two-player Versus Mode (where two players can fight each other) and a Training Mode (where a single player can practice against a non-hostile character). The Saturn version has an exclusive Survival Mode (where the player chooses a character and tries to defeat as many opponents as possible with a single vitality bar) and Illustrations (which contains 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 is equivalent to holding all three punch buttons at once. Kicks are done with (short), (medium), and (roundhouse), and is equivalent to holding all three kick buttons at once. 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 once per round with +, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.

Throws and grabs are done by holding or when next to 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 or 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. Characters can block in midair but cannot air block against normal attacks from an opponent that is standing on the ground and cannot air block after performing an attack in the air. Special moves still do a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. 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 interrupts the blocked attack at the cost of a level of the Super Combo gauge.

Characters have a Super Combo gauge that fills as the character performs regular and special techniques or takes damage. 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. The Super Combo gauge carries over between rounds (but not between battles).

If the Super Combo gauge is at least level 1, the player can initiate a Custom Combo (Original Combo in the Japanese version) by pressing two punch buttons and a kick or one punch button and two kicks. This causes the character to move faster, with attacks performed much more quickly and with much less recovery time, while the Super Combo gauge quickly drains. The player can then perform any series of basic and special moves to create a Custom Combo until the Super Combo gauge is completely exhausted. The character can be hit out of the combo early, but the Custom Combo has a brief period of invulnerability when it is initiated (which is longer when the Super Combo gauge is at a higher level).

There are two game speeds, Normal and Turbo, and 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 limits the player to a maximum of one Super Combo gauge level, but in turn, it allows the player to perform an instant Super Combo by pressing a punch and kick button of the same strength simultaneously (using a different Super Combo for the light, medium, and hard buttons, initiating a Custom Combo if the character only has two Super Combos).

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).

The Saturn version was the only console port at the time to feature Evil Ryu, EX Zangief, and EX Dhalsim as unlockable characters, in addition to Shin Akuma and Classic Chun-Li, who were in all the other console versions.

The EX versions of characters use their Street Fighter II: Champion Edition movesets and lose abilities added in the Alpha games, including the ability to block in the air, roll out of falls, or use taunts, Custom Combos, Super Combos, or Alpha Counters.

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

Illustrations

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 (a Survival Mode, 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 pattern.

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