Street Fighter Alpha 2

I like the games I buy on GOG because, unlike other ports, you don't need to buy a new computer to play games from the 80s, 90s, 2000s. Put more versions of Street Fighter, The King Of Fighters, and some old nes games like old Battletoads, Ninja Gaiden, Bomberman. As you have a contract with Bethesda, see if you can get the Rare Replay, I couldn't find it anywhere to buy it.

Great game, if you know, you know. No lagging or frame rate issues for me. (fast & smooth) You can remap the controller from the menu screen. (tested on xbox elite) Use DGVoodoo for widescreen and to get the game to start if you have a black screen. (simple) I know it should work for everyone out of the box, but for gods sake! for most of these games that don't start, is always the same - DG Voodoo! Stop acting like a child and learn how to use it, it ain't hard.

This is a fantastic title, a real hallmark of the Street Fighter Series and the fighting game genre in general. I'm really happy GOG has picked this one up. The 5.99 price tag makes this an absolute steal of a bargain. If you're a fan at all of 2D Fighters, you owe it to yourself to pick up Street Fighter Alpha 2.

To be honest the game runs & looks fine (on my rig). But the controller mapping is unforgivable. The start button is mapped to L3 (thumb stick button), instead of the logical choice…”start”. This makes the game unplayable, sooner or later throwing a Hadouken will pause your game! Not to mention if your going to force map our movement with no way to change it, don’t use the analog stick! D-Pads are what fighting game players usually prefer. Common Capcom, this is just a trash port and you know it. All will be forgiven when you release Ultra Street Fighter IV to your loyal GOG customers.

I knew coming in this was a bad port, frankly its pretty clear form the majority of the reviews this isnt good, missing animation frames low qaulity sfx and voices. The Xinput support is bad like all direct input only games this one doesnt recognise the D-pad or L2/R2 and maps start to the only controll option you have L3 so trying to play a single match meant constantly accidentally pausing the match. So why did I buy it knowing it was bad coming in? Well i read that the included soundtrack was a hard to find long out of print Jungle remix ep of the alpha 2 soundtrack called "Street Fighter Alpha 2 Underground Mixxes [Da Soundz of Spasm]" this album is great if you like that cheesy capcom jungle vibes they eventually nailed in SF3 3rd strike, but to my dismay it comes in insulting low bit rate mp3 at 128kbps honeslty this soundtrack is almost impossible to get anywhere else but i can help but feel every aspect here was a huge waste of my money. Please GOG if you have access to the spundtrack jungle remix ep in at least 320kbps or FLAC please update the soundtrack files. its this relases only redeeming feature. Back to the game the best way to play street fighter alpha 2 remains the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology on PS2 which includes arcade perfect alpha 2 and alpha 2 gold with a couple of bonus modes and convience features not found in the recent Street fighter 30th anniversary colection. But you need a PS2 console for it :/
