Capcom has timed the surprise test launch of Street Fighter Alpha 2 to perfectly coincide with the release of the home versions of Alpha. What a great time to update the series and breathe new life into the game.
Capcom has once again overhauled the Street Fighter series. While taking the Japanimation look of Alpha, the backgrounds have been redone. A lot of players complained that Alpha's levels were boring. The new areas feature more details and plenty of animated characters. One particularly cool effect deals with a small pool of water that splashes and ripples as player’s stomp through it.
One of the major changes found in Alpha 2 is the addition of more fighters. With the game totaling 18 characters in all (so far), Akuma, Bison and Dan are now selectable. Fortunately, you no longer have to do a trick to play as them. Three new fighters have appeared, as well as two old favorites.
Another Street Fighter sequel (this time for Street Fighter Alpha) adds even more to the classic fighting series. New characters in this version include Gen (a wise kung-fu master), Rolento (who you may remember from another Capcom classic, Final Fight) and Sakura, a young school girl who follows her hero Ryu so close, she has the same type of.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 stars over 31 characters and is loaded with multiple modes of play, seamless animation and 3 different fighting styles for every character. Street Fighter Alpha isn't going to sell to many PlayStations-that's for games like Tekken and Toshinden-but it will keep a lot of arcade fighting fans very happy indeed. And it may even bring a little tear to the eye of the arcade historian, pining for the days when games were.
Rolento is a member of the Mad Gear Gang from the Final Fight series. He looks like a soldier, and his moves involve his baton and grenades. He moves just like he did in Final Fight. His attacking style is close to Vega with lots of nimble flying attacks.
Sakaru is a young school girl wearing a sailor suit. Her moves mimic Ryu's, with a spattering of Chun-Li-type attacks. Her equivalent to the Dragon Punch does a lot more damage than Ryu's, though. Her background history is currently unknown. However, she is thought to possibly be a student under Fei Long.
Gen is another of the fighters resembling Tung Fu Ru of the Fatal Fury series. His attacks are, for the most part, close-range, particularly his Hand Slap. One unique aspect to this original Street Fighter is that he can change his fighting style to a complete set of new moves.
Due to popular demand, Zangief is back. This Russian wrestler is somewhat the same. His Fierce Leg Sweep has been slowed down tremendously. However, his super special attack is particularly deadly.
Dhalsim returns intact. There is virtually no change in this character from Street Fighter 2 Turbo. All of his attacks--like the Yoga Torpedo, Yoga Flame and Yoga Teleport--are the same long-ranged strikes.
There's a new combo system that involves setting up custom programmed moves. To start the special combos, press three buttons simultaneously to start your character glowing (similar to a super combo). The three buttons have to be either two Punches and one Kick, or two Kicks and one Punch. Once the combo is started, the player can chain moves by tapping a certain combination of Kick and Punch buttons. How this will affect the gameplay once it's finished is unknown.

At the time of our preview, the game was only 70 percent complete. Most of the gameplay hasn't been tweaked yet. The computer Al was simplistic. Even the ending wasn't programmed. Still from this early look, Street Fighter Alpha 2 does the series proud.
