i really like alpha 3 over alpha 2 at the moment, can’t tell if soundtrack is better too, but alpha 3’s ryu, dan and charlie/nash themes are on my personal favourite list

maybe it’s OT but anyone know what was the default tournament speed setting for the game?

Turbo 2.

Alpha 2 was so good…that it made some characters virtually unplayable due to the shitty design of the game. Aside from the fact that there is no close proximity hard attacks:

Bison has NO BnB without meter due to the terrible hitstun on his Medium attacks, Dan had HORRENDOUS normals even beyond his normal suckery, Dhalsim had some of the WORST hitboxes of all time, Sagat CAN’T zone worth shit and his regular and super fireball WAS SOOOOO bad, Ugh…Guy losing EVERYTHING that made him playable, and poor Gen and Birdie…

The game itself literally fucked certain characters because of it’s rushed feel.

And if you don’t learn CC’s, you won’t be getting far in this game. Your frame kill supers will only carry you so far until you run into some asshole playing Chun or Rose.

At least Alpha 1 let me cancel Fierce into specials.

No characters in A2 are unplayable, what are you talking about?

CCs are easy to learn in A2, much much more so than in A3 or even CvS2. They aren’t much of a barrier to learning the game.

  • love Alpha 2. Next to Second Impact, it was my fav sequel for Street Fighter Alpha between that and A3. It’s hard to believe that games like this won’t get a remake. The soundtrack rocked, though yeah - it’s Alpha, still.

Alpha 3 is probably my fav SF game next to EX
