==Versions== ===Arcade=== ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'' was released under the title of ''Street Fighter Zero 2'' in Japan, Asia and South America. The American and European versions of ''Alpha 2'' features three additional characters who were not in the ''Zero 2'' versions: Evil Ryu and the EX versions of Zangief and Dhalsim. Capcom released an updated version of ''Zero 2'' titled ''Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha'', which features all the additional characters from ''Alpha 2'', as well as other changes to the game. In addition to Zangief and Dhalsim, ''Zero 2 Alpha'' also features EX versions of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Sagat and Bison, all whom were characters from the original ''Street Fighter II{{'}}: Champion Edition''. Custom Combos are now executed by pressing a punch and kick button of the same strength simultaneously and now require half (1½ level) of the Super Combo gauge filled to perform them. Some of the characters have gained new moves such as Ryu{{'}}s ''Shakunetsu Hadoken'' and Dhalsim{{'}}s Yoga Tempest. ''Zero 2 Alpha'' also features a Survival Mode, as well as a 2-on-1 Dramatic Battle Mode similar to the hidden "Ryu and Ken vs. Bison mode" in the original ''Alpha''. In the Japanese version of ''Zero 2 Alpha'', Evil Ryu has different dialogue exchanges and a different ending from his regular counterpart. ===Ports=== * The original ''Alpha 2'' was ported to the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn in late 1996. The PlayStation port features an arranged soundtrack (in the form of [[Yellow Book (CD standard)|XA-Audio]]), while the Saturn version uses an arranged soundtrack in a streaming ADPCM format (which looped properly like in the arcade version). Both versions features Shin Akuma as a selectable character via a secret code (which differs between the two versions), in addition to the Classic-style Chun-Li. The Saturn port is the only one of the two versions to feature the character Evil Ryu, EX Zangief and EX Dhalsim from the American arcade version. The Saturn port also features an exclusive Survival Mode, as well as an Art Gallery. The PlayStation version of ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'' was re-released for the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] and [[PlayStation 3|PS3]] via the [[PlayStation Network]] on June 4, {{vgy|2009}} in North America. * A [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] port was also released in 1996. This version makes use of the [[S-DD1 chip]] for graphic decompression. Due to the graphics decompression that needs to be performed, this version has several loading delays when entering matches. Unlike the PlayStation and Saturn versions, the only hidden character available to the player is the classic-style Chun-Li (Shin Akuma still appears in the game as a computer-controlled opponent). This port was re-released for the Virtual Console in North America on December 7, 2009<ref name="VC NA" /> and in the PAL region on January 29, 2010. * A Windows PC port was also released; based on the PlayStation version (but using the arcade soundtrack in 22 kHz WAV format) in 1997. This version was sold as a bundle with the original ''Alpha'' in Japan. * A home version of ''Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha'' was released under the title of '''''Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold''''' in North America, '''''Street Fighter Alpha 2 ′ (Prime)''''' in Europe, and '''''Street Fighter Zero 2′ (Dash)''''' <ref>Like the Japanese versions of ''Street Fighter II Dash'' and ''Street Fighter II Dash Turbo'', the word "Dash" is represented by a [[prime (symbol)|prime symbol]] (’).</ref> in Japan. The game was released as a component of ''[[Street Fighter Collection]]'', a compilation that also includes ''[[Super Street Fighter II]]'' and ''[[Super Street Fighter II#Super Street Fighter II Turbo|Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]''. ''Alpha 2 Gold'' features most of the same changes, features and game modes as the arcade version of ''Zero 2 Alpha'', omitting only the 2-on-1 Dramatic Battle mode from the arcade game. In addition to all the characters featured in previous versions of ''Alpha 2'', ''Gold'' features a version of [[Cammy]] based on her rendition from ''[[X-Men vs. Street Fighter]]'', who appears as a hidden character selectable only in the game{{'}}s Versus and Training Modes. * The {{vgy|2006}} [[PlayStation 2]] compilation ''[[Street Fighter Alpha Anthology]]'' features a version of the original ''Alpha 2'' based on the arcade game, as well as a revised version of ''Alpha 2 Gold'' which features Cammy as a selectable character in the game{{'}}s Arcade Mode (with her own storyline and ending). Both games feature the Survival and Dramatic Battle Modes in addition to the Arcade, Versus and Training Modes. The Japanese version of the compilation (''Street Fighter Zero: Fighters' Generation'') features the arcade versions of ''Zero 2'' and ''Zero 2 Alpha'' as well as the US version of ''Alpha 2'' and a revised version of ''Zero 2′'' as hidden games.
