General: Street Fighter Alpha 2 is the much anticipated sequel to Capcom's new hit fighter known as Street Fighter Alpha, giving SF fans what they want; tweaked gameplay, and especially more characters.
.
Most importantly, Street Fighter Alpha 2 fixed up the balance and damage issues that were found in the first Street Fighter Alpha. Also added was the ability to perform custom combos, along with brand new super moves to make the game feel like a completely fresh sequel. Overall, the gameplay experience was much more fun.
Classic characters were added such as like Gen from Street Fighter 1, Dhalsim and Zangief from Street Fighter 2, and even one of the mid-bosses from Capcom's 2D sidescroller Final Fight, Rolento. Due to the larger roster, the Alpha series now feels like it has a more traditional and balanced cast of fighters. New BGM Themes, cool backgrounds, and a badass intro, make for an amazing and memorable fighting game.

Closing Comment: Definitely a step in the right direction for the series... By this time, the Alpha series had grown in popularity, but fans were still missing some of their favorite SF2 characters like Blanka, E. Honda, and Vega... That's when Capcom stepped up to the plate and answered with Street Fighter Alpha 3... ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
