Alpha Anthology *Capcom for the motherfucking WIN*

In order for you to get Hyper Alpha you need to unlock “secret game 4” and these are the steps to unlock all versions:

**1- You’ll have a select screen of Zero 1, Zero 2, Zero 2 Alpha, Zero 3, Pocket Fighter
2- Beat each one once on any settings
3- After this you will have access to Arrange Zero 2, Arrange Zero 2 Alpha, and Arrange Zero 3. At the game select menu hold select on either game while you choose them by pressing “O” to access the arrange mode. Beat these 3 games once also.
4- Now you should have unlocked “Secret Game 4” (with the 3 previous arrange games being the first 3 “Secret Games”). Hold Select on Zero 1 at the Game Select menu and you’ll get Hyper Street Fighter Zero.

(at first post)

Hope this clear you guys out.

why? As far as I understand (from reading posts here in SRK and gamespot.com) you are not actually loosing anything. What you are suposedly “loosing” is the japanese version of SFA2 (SFZ2 wich you probably never played in arcades on the US) and you just got what the japanese compilation list as the arrange version of SFZ2 (wich is the arcade release of SFA2 in the US, so you are getting arcade perfect version of the SFA2 that you knew). And the most amibigous thing you are “loosing” (can’t explain much on this one) is one version of SFA2Gold, the japanese compilation has both a regular and arrange version of the game and as far as I know the one that the US compilation gets is the arrange version…and I still don’t know what would be the differences in both of the SFA2Gold games (SF Zero 2 alpha), I hope someone can actually explain, confirm or deny this mess, since I’m not gettig the game until probably next week.

just bought it…haven’t played it yet since I was working, gonna do so in a bit.

You should be holding select on Alpha 1, not Alpha 3 to get HSFA.

Unless they changed it for the US version (which I doubt). =x

Just picked up mine.

That’s cool man but how come when I choose to play SFA3Upper, I get the choices for Normal, Mazi, Saikyo, and Classic isms? Now I am not able to choose the “secret” versions but I can choose any of the four. And what’s the difference between them? I’ll read that link that you provided but there is a lot of info out there :wgrin:

Kyoji: You are right. I was mistaken with is being the HSFA mode but I wasn’t aware that I was gonna be given the option for any of the 4 additional modes and the isms that go with it. Don’t know if the Jap version had that or not. I guess my main question is, what is the difference between Normal, Mazi, Saikyo, and Classic? Didn’t see that explained in the other thread. Or maybe it’s cause I just read the first post and that was it…

EDIT: Ok. I got everything now. It all makes sense. Thanks for the help guys :tup:

I just bought this game

EB games had a whole bunch of them.

School is over, so having this game makes it even better:bgrin:

I found this article for you, it explains what Mazi, Saikyo etc are along with some pretty interesting information regarding the Anthology. Hope this helps.

Anyone tried uploading the game onto your hard drive? Apparently, it won’t work on mine. Anyone else having problems?

Coming up for air lol!

I’m having a blast with it! The strat guide is great, helped me uncover a bunch of secrets and stuff, like color edit mode in every game and the different versions of every game and so on. Only played through SFA and SFA2 Gold. Unlike the PS1 version (well at least the setting I put the game on ) you can get the true ending and the credit roll on any setting, doesn’t have to be the highest difficulty. And in SFA2 Gold in Ken’s stage, Strider does throw his teddy bear in the air when you do a Super, like he did in the arcade. The game really looks great, the colors are really vibrant! Cammy has a new story in SFA2 Gold that was translated in English so make sure you check that out. Everything looks, feels and sounds arcade perfect to my eyes and ears - play SFA on 95/06/27, SFA2 on 96/03/06 and SFA3 on 98/07/27 just like the guide recommends for closest to Arcade quality. Did I mention the guide owns BTW? :smile:

Cool info…i’ll have my copy and strat guide in 2 weeks. :sweat: :tup: :nunchuck:

M-ism Ken gets the huge fireballs and Ryu doesn’t? WTF?

Other than that, I like it so far…

Well i i’m just trying to decide which i should invest in. I have 2 import stores near me, so i’ll gladly play the extra $5-$10 to make sure i get everything in the original release.

I think you need is a Sony formatted drive with a legitimate copy of the game. Capcom was smart to leave the HDD code in for us hardcore gamers.

I have one setup for the JPN PS2 and one for the North American PS2, both loaded with HDDs. I can finally host my own tourneys.

Because we’re told that we’ll have the game ready to sell on the 13th and then we get fucked over by UPS/Purolator/Fed Ex and get shit late. It’s been like this constantly since Gamestop bought Eb out.

To Midnight: If you haven’t figured it out already you can always have the second player “join in” while you’re fighting Bison. After you kill “your friend” you go back to the fight with Bison.

Had to do that a few times earlier. I love it how the CPU reacts instantly to a whiffed move with a super. All these Neo-Geo games have rendered my admittedly already poor R. Mika to damn awful status.

Excellent collection even though SFA1 & 2 only got played enough to unlock HSFA.

Another thing I noticed.

A-ism Ryu on PS1 SFA3:

Corner J.Fierce - C.Strong - Level 2 Shinkuu Hadouken - Juggle C.Strong - Juggle Level 1 Shinkuu Hadouken

Note: Safe Fall option is turned on. Dummy is Ken.

A-ism Ryu on SFA Anthology SFA3:

Corner J.Fierce - C.Strong - Level 2 Shinkuu Hadouken - Dummy Safe Falls out of it.

Now is this because of Machine Version or the PS1’s Training Dummy takes longer to Safe Fall than the Training Dummy on SFA Anthology?

Got my copy today. I gotta say, I’m impressed! Capcom did a REALLY good job with this collection. :tup:

Ok thats alright, as long as you make your decision with most information available to you, well I guess that would be the ideal thing.

Damn Sano!! you just got me more desperate to get this game as soon as possible!!!:smile: by the way, Sano, or anyone who can respond please, to play as Cammy on SFA2Gold…do you have to do the same things as in the PSX version? I mean beating the game with M.Bison and then entering CAM to registrer your score and finally the highlight/select stuff.

Just highlight Bison and keep pushing start, until Bison turns into Cammy. Pretty simple.
