Street Fighter Alpha Anthology Announced for PS2

[Shin Johnpv]

I picked it up today, I've beaten all of them cept Gem Fighters I suck sooo damn much at that game

just need to keep trying to unlock the new mode

is it just me or are the US versions more difficult at the same level than the Japanese versions, having just played through some of the games on a borrowed japanese version and having played through these today they just seem by default a good bit harder

[Changeling]

I picked this up today along with the strategy guide. These are both high quality releases. The guide is HUGE. I just played through everything to play Hyper. Pretty neat except you can only play one-player in training mode. Kind of disappointing, but when I get to play some friends, I'm sure that feeling will go away. Its fun to have all those styles in one game. I do feel like a beta tester for Capcom in a way because you know Capcom Fighting Evolution 2(its inevitable) will be the same thing, just on a much grander scale. Its not a bad thing by any means. This release is tops. GO BUY IT!

Yeah, that guide is extensive, but it doesn't offer quite the in-depth strategies as seen in the Alpha 2 guide published by Versus Books. Still, it's informative tool adequate to educate newcomers. Still wish we had a confirmation that an Xbox version was in the works.

Evolution 2 better have a much better style with tighter game mechanics. The original may as well just been called Mugen and called it a day.

Nah, you're not imagining things... I often felt the JPN games were somewhat more difficult than its U.S. counterparts.

I'm reading that they were running out of time. Still, a very nice guide, though.

The secrets are very confusing. I've unlocked up to HSFA but what else is there?

No I'm finding it to be the exact opposite

I found the JP games a breeze to blow through and Beat while the US versions at the same difficulty level are being much more of a pain in the ass

in the US versions just SFA3 Arranged which is bassicaly SFA3 Upper

in the Japanese version you could also unlock Arranged versions of SFZ2 and SFZ2A which were bassicaly just the US versions of those games

it would have been nice if Capcom US let us unlock the Japanese versions of those games

Why would we want to play SFZ2 when we have SFA2? So we can unlock, uh, less hidden characters?

[rama]

what's so special about the japanese versions?

[kedawa]

There are shitloads of hidden menus and dipswitch settings in the jp version, so I'd assume they're in the us release as well.

[FX]

They are.
