This was my favorite franchise of the different Street Fighter franchises 😁. Alot of characters I really like debuted on this franchise such as Rose, Charlie, Guy, Maki, Rolento, Juli, and Juni...not to mention the costume color palettes as well as pre-fight and post-fight dialogue made the stories great.
Actually. Street fighter 2 ran on the cps1 port, they only switched to cps2 after hyper fighting. Which is why the soundtrack is different and why guile sounds funny in super turbo
Fun Fact in regards to SFA1: The CPS1 port of the game for the CPS Changer helped pave the way for CPS2 dumping and emulation thanks to CPS2 logic still being in that version's data. The CPS2 had a copy protection that was considered impossible to defeat for years so that version helped the hacking scene a lot.
For SFA2, Gen can use SFA-style chain combos in his Mantis stance. Guy only has one SFA-style chain combo in SFA2/3, his "Bushin Gokusaken" (LP MP HP HK), which replicates his combo from Final Fight.
Just a quick note on the subject of returning characters: Guy and Sodom had both been previously featured in Final Fight, which was originally announced as Street Fighter '89 before being spun off into being its own thing due to the gameplay being so different. It's arguable that they are also returning characters, though it's debatable. As for why Final Fight was conceived as a sequel to Street Fighter, it's worth considering that SF1 was a single player boss rush game with an optional VS mode tacked on where player two was able to play Ken, who was just Ryu in a red gi with blonde hair, so the logic was probably to redesign the game as a multiplayer cooperative game - in turn necessitating that the players took on multiple opponents simultaneously before facing a boss character to address the inherent balance issues caused by the potential for everything to become two on one match up. Solo players would be able to collect more power ups and the health values for the bosses could be modified to be a better experience suitable for either single or two player runs. Ultimately, the design was a bit too different and Capcom recognised that focusing on competitive play with a broader range of characters would make people put more money into the machine, as credits would be expended every match regardless of player skill.
Alpha 2 oozed style with it's music but Alpha 3... Man with it's everything, UI to music to character art, everything oozed style. Thank you for the video!!
@@sdlock83 It's awful how they tried to replicate that style in SNK vs Capcom and it ended up sounding like a parody. They put a japanese dude to say similar lines but it's just hilariously bad.
Yo dude I’m a big fan I love your vids and stuff I just got sf6 and I main akuma (also in rev 2 I main slayer Faust and raven) I hope your day is AMAZING!
Alpha over the years almost felt like the "EVERYONE IS HERE!" Of Street Fighter. The GBA and Psp versions were amazing along with more characters from existing sprites. I'm surprised no one has made a rom hack of SF2 using Alpha sprites. Those have aged beautifully.
@@conradojavier7547 And if you’re suggesting the remaining SF1 characters, then we also need the likes of the Shadaloo Dolls, Peter the Cop, Rudra, Bosch, Kalima, and other fightable NPCs on the roster. (Not including generic enemies, just those with plot importance)
There will never be an Everyone is Here version of Street Fighter. Beside Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper is basically just that, nobody really care or remember the SF1 cast cause in SF1 the remaining 10 fighters were un-selectable anyways. As for Street Fighter III, half of the fighter on that roster are basically unknown to most players. While Alex, Elena, Makoto, Ibuki, Sean, Dudley, Hugo, Yun, and Yang were memorable, I doubt anyone care about the likes of Q, Necro, Oro, Urien, Gill, Remy, and Twelve.
Not a bad video at all. It’s good you’re tackling the Alpha/ Zero series in detail like this and good research done to give viewers and fans a history of how this beloved spin-off SF series was created. The only hiccups were saying Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil/ Biohazard fame was behind Mega Man and Dead Rising - that’s Keiji Inafune. Also missed out on saying Sodom and Guy were from Final Fight - which in itself was once going to be titled “Street Fighter ‘89” before Capcom called it what it is today. It would work out anyway as these characters and Metro City would all be a part of the Street Fighter Universe and the setting for SF6.
The Alpha brand being repurposed as a “dream match” series for SF, with deceased and unpopular characters available freely in noncanon battles, could work.
@@awinborger No they didn't. SF 30th Anniversary Collection is a pile of emulation dog shit that consists of only the non-definitive/incomplete versions of each game. It's so bad that when Capcom wants to distance themselves from it.
@@sdlock83 yikes brother ngl it made me want to did deeper pass sf4 and I feel it may have helped more then me do that sorry you feel so strongly about it
nicely done but a few dfferences from what i learnt/knew it was once planned to be called Street Fighter Legend(s) in alpha 1, the chain combo works flawlessly as long as you press a higher strength attack button when you see the hit spark, the only exception is GUY, he has his own target combo system which requires stricter timings and that was what you shown in the video not getting the chain combo out and in alpha 2, chain combos are gone, only guy and gen keep that and retuned timing as the target combos. the rest of the cast has to use "link"
Man I was so excited to see Karin come back in SFV but then so crushed to see how different she played to her A3 style. Hope she plays more like A3 in SF6, or at least give us rekka boys Fei Long or Yang
@@FarticusSnottington well for her to play more like in A3 in sf6, the game would need to be different. A lot of Karin moves and flow worked because of how A3 played.
The reason why there's no Alpha 4 was cause the series already wrap up at the end of Alpha 3. In the arcade there's only five Alpha games: Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Alpha 2 Gold, Alpha 3, and Alpha 3 Upper with Alpha 3 Upper being a Sega NAOMI arcade cabinet instead of CPS-2 like the rest. There's also a Hyper Street Fighter Alpha which is basically Alpha's version of Hyper Street Fighter II but I doubt there's any arcade version of that game as it was only on PS2.
The video features a mix of aspect ratios. All SFA titles originally had a 4:3 aspect ratio (like all CPS-2 games). Even though the boards ouputted 384x224, CRTs don't enforce sqaure pixels. As a result, Thicc Ryu is a product of the emulation era. Modern releases of the games include widescreen modes that let you play with Thicc Ryu & Friends.
Champion Edition is my favorite game of all time so of course it's my favorite Street Fighter game but Alpha 2 is my second favorite. Alpha 3 is also great but it feels a bit bloated. Sometimes less is more and I think Alpha 2 is a good example of that.
Many of the SFA3 characters have different moves in different ISMs. For example X-ism M. Bison has a meterless psycho crusher instead of a psycho shot.
I remember being a kid seeing the first Alpha 1 arcade cabinet when it first released in the mid 90s as a kid at a bowling alley place in Norwalk CA for the first time, and being so hyped and amazed at the new CPS2 sprites and character designs. To this day the Alpha/Zero series,and the SF3 New Generation series are my favorite SF games of all time. The new fugly 3D Street Fighter games,just can't compare.
I know what you mean, though I do think that SF6 does look fantastic (but only during the character select and the actual matches. The cutscenes and expanded single player content is not on the same level, though the ridiculous custom characters are a lot of fun.) SF4, XTekken, and 5 are really not great to look at, though the EX games do have a certain charm due to the limitations of the graphics technology. None of them are as pretty as SF3 and Alpha comes in at a close second. Sagat's weird knees in the original are very funny, but from SF2 onwards the pixel art was always top notch, even though the actual animation in that game was a bit threadbare owing to the limitations of the hardware available.
You were doing so well and positive that reading your comment was making me smile. But then you had to try to boost your complimentary point with negativity focused on a comparison. Describing a good example can be positive without trying to contrast with an example of what you consider bad. People sometimes think that contrasting good with bad will make the point stronger and/or the good look great but in reality, it just sours the point with cynicism and can darken the entire argument/point.
My favorite of the series after Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting. I always preferred it over SF3, even SF4. I just loved the big colorful anime style art work of the characters and series. It was just more fun. I remember being in awe when I first saw Alpha 1 back in the mid 90s in the arcades. It’s like the character artwork got upgraded from the SF2 series.
I believe the Alpha series was not a subseries but a main series just that it took place way before SFII. Street Fighter Alpha is basically part zero of the series. Whereas SFII had multiple version, Street Fighter Alpha also had multiple version just with different stages per entry. While Street Fighter Alpha 1 & 2 feels like minor upgrade from one another, Street Fighter Alpha 3 is like the super version of those two games.
Its cool that capcom is releasing Alpha 3 Upper in their new Capcom Fighting Collection, but i dont understand why they dont just skip it and go straight to MAX instead :/
Remember, these are MVC2 characters as well... Just some small new moves and hyper enhanced current ones. Why didn't Akuma keep the black flames from XCOTA..

It's likely going to be included on a collection with all the other SF home exclusive games probably such as Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight, Street Fighter The Movie The Game, Hyper Street Fighter Alpha, Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival, Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, Street Fighter: The Animated Movie Game, and Street Fighter EX3. All these had no arcade versions, they were home version exclusives only.
Well just don't use it, I play both games and hardly never use CC. Heck in Alpha 2 as long as you never touch punch and kick all the same you will never initiate it, for Alpha 3 just ignore V-ism.
@@VOAN ever tried playing without cc against someone that really knows how to use it? Its either these gorgeous, manual, instant, surprise combos that leads to your end or these long, boring, air juggle that leads to your end. What i am saying, is that even though it was not the initial way they build these games, the community is now forcing you to use it for competitive play. It is the ultimate burst and murder technique that turns every other technique pointless.
It's interesting when the younger generation make videos like this trying to cover old stuff. They have to dig for facts they otherwise have never known before, whereas for us old buggers, we lived it. Like your fact on Shinji Mikami is completely wrong, anyone 30+ naturally knows he's known for Resident Evil. Otherwise, good vid, but next time, use original aspect ratio for the game footage, seeing these classics stretched for widescreen is just too jarring....
@@ougonce you just contradicted yourself, how can it be a simple mistake if it's not obscure knowledge? For a younger generation though, it will be a bit more obscure since they didn't grow up with Resident Evil and probably have no idea who shinji mikami even is, he hasn't had anything to do with the series in nearly 20 years now....
Alpha beats all the pay as you go crap modern street fighters. Gummy fighter 6 is a ps4 trash game with awful art styles, they look like cavemen and the music is trash
Good pixel art is immortal. This game still looks so good. Lots of great memories of playing these games.
