A2 had the better soundtrack lol.
A3 Upper seems to give the good version a bad wrap. âBut it has Final Fantasy mode and emo Ryu!â
A2 all day
I liek alpha2. :clapdos:
I just wanted to throw out that in A2, ACs get raped when abused. I just played a guy the other day who did all acs with Ken. 90% of them got OS into a uppercut/super.
A3 isnât my cup of tea, but alot of way that game plays I really hate. Doesnât feel like a SF game, but I mainly play A2 and ST so yeah. Both games do have their BS though. Nothing is as simple as âACs ruin A2â or âInfinites break A3â. It is what is is, I play the one which IMO has the least bullshit in it and feels like a more solid game.
A2 all the way.
I like hyper for the fact you have access to all my money characters⌠Alpha 1 Akuma, Alpha 2 Sagat, and vamps- ism claw
A2 all the way. Not that I disliked A3 that much, but the faggy juggle system and lame hitbox/CH properties were not things I liked to see in any SF game. A2 definitely has its bullshit but thatâs balanced out with great tier compression (unless you factor in E.Ryu or Shin Akuma of course) and the fact that almost any character can win at high-level. It also IMO has the best mix of the post-3 newer SF gameplay with the footsie-based spacing that gives it the old-school feel. CCs are riddick but no worse than A3 infinites, SF3âs Genei-Jin/Chun-Li BS or SF4âs reliance on Ultras, and ACs can be easily reversed if you look for them.
A2 >>> A3 >>>>>>>>>>>> A1
totally agreed⌠letâs not forget about the great music and cool backgrounds.
A3 is kind of meh in these departments as well.
No option to like them all? Aww.
I fell in love with the series because of Alpha 1.
I fell in love with competition because of Alpha 2.
I fell in love with tournaments because of Alpha 3.
Alpha 2 OST > Alpha 2 Gold OST
I will always love the artwork and colors that made the game much more alluring than the 3 series.
My favorite things about Alpha 1?: Akuma, Ryuâs close fierce Hadoken, Charlie, Guy, Rose, Kenâs voice, Sodomâs s.RH kick on opponent wake-up (LOL), chain combos. Soundtrack. (Guyâs arranged theme, Akumaâs original theme, Danâs arranged theme, lots of them!) Damage scaling (practically none, yay!) Sagatâs 7 hit Tiger Blow (he didnât call it an uppercut, did he?) Sagatâs intro fighting Ryu.
My favorite things about Alpha 2?: Ken, competition (yay, balance!), classic feel, last time your shoto can sweep cancel into a hadoken, grass stage, waterfall stage, Bisonâs ending (this game did seem kind of darker), intro music, Ryuâs stage and Ryuâs ORIGINAL stage theme, Genâs theme, Guyâs stage, Shadowloo Cammy, SHIN AKUUUMAAAAA, Evil Ryu (which was much better than the one in A3), selecting your own win pose. Unique Shun Goku Satsu finish screen. CCs.
My favorite things about Alpha 3?: Guy, lots of cool themes (Rose, Zangief, Ryu, etc., dramatic battle theme is siiiiiiiiiick and the PS1 stages for it were cool), juggles like a mofo, selecting your own win pose without holding start/select, fighting against Rolento, Karin Kanzuki, lots of characters, wish I could play Ingrid, win quotes, world tour mode. Ryuâs tatsumakisempuukyaku that would dizzy you in like 3 hits. Shin Dictator. Ryuâs 1% chance to be powerful Shin Shoryuken (pulled it off properly maybe twice ever - wtf Capcom). Shin Akuma and Evil Ryuâs intro. Ken and Ryuâs intro. ISMs.
I canât think of anything else but Iâm sure thereâs more.
a2 for noobs but a3 for top level players
Alpha 2 gold. just a nice balance in play mechanics, dosnât feel watered down with utterly worthless characters (juri, Juli) and has a better custom combo system IMO.
Vomits
A2G was a failure of balancing lol
a3 dramatic battle
Yes that clearly makes A3 better lol Iâm pretty sure A2G had i too.
shrugs to each their own, it felt right to ME.
Well I dont see how the cc system was better. Enlighten me.
iâm sure you think sf2 koryuu has a ânice balance in play mechanicsâ as well.
Felt right to ME.
