Street Fighter Alpha 2

I agree with the reviews that highlight the screen tearing. It makes the game unplayable, and the frame rate itself must be running at 10fps. I really can't recommend this at all. Testing compatibility mode and other settings does nothing to improve the performance. It's pretty clear that minimal time was spent on playtesting this thing. The problem is that it is a shoddy port, of another port that was on the original Playstation. Somewhere through the filter, they forgot quality assurance. I'm an avid Street Fighter player, and am very much part of the FGC. Alpha 2 deserves better, as some even consider it the best Alpha game. I, for one, am open to playing a scaled down port of the original arcade, but even when considering it a port of the Playstation game, it does not do it justice. If you're looking to play Alpha 2 on the PC, then the 30th Anniversary on Steam might be your best bet. If you want your games to be DRM free, then consider getting a physical copy on one of the consoles.

No options about video, no options about controls, and an unplayable key configuration by default, terryble missy and a start button assigned to left stick pushing that jumps every second without intention. This is not the way to fight emulation.

As of now, it is unplayable on my laptop. Only key that works is F9 which exits, and that is it. If it worked 5/5 stars.

I love Street Fighter especially the Alpha series. But that port is just horrible. You basically have no options for the controls, the start button is on the left stick, so your game tends to pause. How to exit the game is also just a joke. No options for the video and so on. I just can repeat what a lot of people here already said. Just don't buy it. I would rather get the 30th Anniversary edition or something else.

While it is Street Fighter Alpha 2, there are absolutely no bells and whistles and i wouldnt recommend this over the far superior Sega Saturn version, although the chances of anyone reading this actually owning a Saturn are rather slim. this is a straight up re-release of the PC version from the mid 90's, which was a port of the stripped down PS1 version from back in the day, not the near arcade perfect Saturn version. But a lack of bells and whistles isnt my biggest gripe with this, the Xbox 360 Street Fighter 4 Fightpad, has compatability issues, my cammy ass branded controller doesnt map correctly, and while this is more of an Xbox controller issue, (the triggers map pressure, most generic support for controllers dont map pressure inputs, just binary button pushed/not pushed inputs) this causes the LT and RT buttons to be unusable, which means you cant comfortable map your kicks and punches in scaling order comfortable for this title, and in a fighting game, especially a Street Fighter, this can make or break a game. There are also some niggling menu problems, getting around and setting things to how you like them is archaic, because the game says 'Press Start' for everything, when really it should just say 'Press Enter' approach with caution.
