Street Fighter Alpha 2

Lots of missing animation frames, slightly lower resolution. Still neat to see it. If it were me It'd track down the Playstation Anthology pack or a copy of Alpha 3 on the PS One. This is still a great game on it's own merits, it's just not optimal.

It's a shame they release a port like this. I understand that they have already patched previously, however, I share my tests with the community: 1.- The XBOX ONE control is compatible, however the pause is right on the joystick button (movement). 2.- Luckily I had a genesis control somewhere, it works very well. 3.- Requires backwards compatibility with xp. 4.- Finally, it has a blur screen, which requires removing the super configuration from my AMD (which I never did since I was lazy). It's a great game that doesn't deserve this kind of adaptation, least of all for the PC, which has such a loyal audience.

The version of this game is not optImized for PC. I remember exceeding the system requirements when I owned the CDROM version of the game and it did not work as I expected. The same holds true today. If you put the quality on the max the game is very choppy.. The same went for the PC version of Super Puzzle Fighter 2 on PC. These ports were not optimized. If you are looking for a better version of this game, wait until Street Fighter Anniversary Edition goes on sale on various outlets. This one just is good on PC.

Street Fighter Alpha 2 has the best you can expect from the genre: Three modes (Arcade, Versus & Training) which you can play using a wide cast of interesting characters with tons of different combos and techniques. Even with this variety, all characters share the same core fundamentals, so it's pretty easy to learn and get into, though hard to master. Each one of the characters has an exclusive ending you can see if you manage to finish Arcade Mode. Losing a match won't reset your progress, you can retry as many times as you want, though there is certainly a challenge in pursuing a high score. The scenarios are based on real world locations, the graphics and animations are beautiful and the soundtrack shines by itself, providing a perfect accompaniment. Using Windows 10, I didn't experience a single trouble with the port. Both video and sound play flawlessly. Also, it recognized my controller right away, even if Gog's store page doesn't mention controller support. The buttons were already configured and no setup at all was necessary from my part. Overall, a great experience for a great price. Can only recommend it!

I desperately want to give future players the green light to purchase this title. First is it is our only Capcom game and my was that it could have been a doorway into an extensive library of PC versions of classics. SFA2 is one of those classics. One of which I have enjoyed in almost every one of it's incarnations. It is heartbreaking to say, but this incarnation has severe performance flaws that no other version I have played has. The game has a frame rate so poor that it is distracting, and game play impairing. At first I thought it was the system I was using, but after 3 systems, multiple reports from others, and a Youtube video that clearly shows a lack of fluidity, it appears that it's just made this way, and there will never come a day we can expect the game to run the way it should. (note: everything works) SFA2 is a fantastic entry in a fantastic series. By all means obtain it in some way, but do it any other way than this version(hurts to say). And if you want to see a 2D fighting game port done right, pick up Guilty Gear right here on GOG.
