![]() Shin-Akuma and Evil Ryu also made their debuts in Street Fighter Alpha 2. Also included is Sakura – the series favorite school girl who’s obsessed with Ryu and emulates his fighting style. This game is also the one that brought back Gen for the first time since the original Street Fighter and added Rolento from Final Fight. Street Fighter Alpha 2 updated the combo system and changed the way Street Fighter played going forward, but the biggest reason that it’s got its own section is that this is the first game in the collection that feels “normal” as far as input delay goes. Because of this, you may find yourself struggling with the basics of Hadouken spam since you’re not used to having to put a half-second delay in your quarter-circle forward and then punch input. Moves have to be executed a lot more deliberately than they are in games like Street Fighter IV and V. While these games are arcade perfect, there is a bit of noticeable input delay. Hyper Fighting is basically just Championship Edition, only faster and you can do certain special moves in mid-air that previously required being stationary. While the original Street Fighter only allowed you to choose one of the original eight fighters, Championship Edition added playable access to the games four main bosses: Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. ![]() ![]() Street Fighter 2 was the game that revolutionized 2D fighters and started a genre that’s still beloved even to this day. I’m actually just going to lump Street Fighter 2, CE, and Hyper Fighting together cause they’re basically just remixes of the game everyone’s played more times than they could ever possibly count. The controls suck, and the game itself is pretty awful, but hey, you get a trophy in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for beating the story mode. Special moves exist, but they’re extremely hard to reliably execute – probably because Street Fighter originally was controlled with pressure sensitive pads that were trash and wore out quickly. There’s not much to say about Street Fighter as it’s the basic idea of flying to each area of the world, fight the fighters, ultimately ending up in Thailand for the final showdown with Sagat. It’s important to know where these characters came from instead of just being like “who the fu–” when getting to the Alpha and SF3 games in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary edition. While it’s true that several characters famous to the series actually got their start in Street Fighter (aside from Ryu, Ken, and Sagat) most people forget that guys like Adon, Birdie, and Gen were present as generic and seemingly forgettable nameless fighters in the original Street Fighter. The original Street Fighter is fucking terrible really struggles to hold up well in comparison to the rest of the collection. ![]()
