Capcom · 1996
Street Fighter Alpha 2 is a 1996 arcade fighting game developed and published by Capcom. It retains core mechanics from its predecessor—three-level Super Combo gauge, Alpha Counters, Air-Blocking, and Fall Breaking—and introduces the Custom Combo system, which replaces Chain Combos and allows players to chain basic and special moves freely while the Timer Gauge lasts. Guy and Gen retain limited Chain Combo ability. Each character gains two Alpha Counters (punch- and kick-initiated). Single-player mode features eight matches culminating in a character-specific final opponent and includes a secret rival encounter triggered by meeting certain conditions. The game was ported to PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Super Nintendo, and Windows.
