Same Street Fighter Alpha 2 Intro But Different Versions

[@BitsBeats]

I have decided not to include the Windows PC version, since it uses the same video as the PS1 version. By the way, I'm surprised by Capcom's laziness for the Playstation intro.

[@DDRUTOU]

I don't remember the PlayStation version being like that. However, I had the Gold version. So I never saw it

[@shinzankuro]

@@DDRUTOU Because the Gold Version is actually a proper accurate intro and not a FMV video compressed [The vanilla Alpha 2 in PS1 and Windows port uses the poor fmv video]

[@David315842]

For what ever reason you used the Zero 2 Alpha intro and not the regular Zero 2 intro. All that's different though is the background of the title screen at the end. The regular Zero 2 intro though features the same background as the others rather then the red background with the scrolling 'Alpha' words shown in the background.

[@KoruKinshi]

PlayStation had tradh for Ram and couldnt handle the frames. Saturn on the other hand....could.

[@DigitusDendron]

😂 Capcom did the same thing by using compressed videos of cutscenes from the GameCube version of RE4 for the PS2’s piss poor port; btw, did you know the Wii Edition was the first version of RE4 that could display Leon & Ashley’s alt costumes in cutscenes even though the PS2 port introduced the alt costumes (R.P.D. uniform, Pop Star outfit, Mafia Suit, Armor Suit)?

[@blackflame4506]

Still shock that Capcom made an conversion port on the Super Nintendo and it still holds up visually well over the years.

[@stevesteve0521]

Visually yes, gameplay wise no unless you play the msu patch which completely fixes the game

[@berserksatan]

That must be a rare and expensive cartridge nowadays!

[@greensun1334]

I'm a big fan of the SNES version - they really managed it to put the arcade's huge content in a 32megabit 16bit cartridge, and it plays very close to the original. Only some background details, animation frames and SFX were removed (the OST sounds also a little different on SNES, but honestly I even prefer some tracks) or slightly altered but that's just necessary. It's a really awesome 16bit port of a great arcade game!

[@canal_zero]

SNES version is a love letter from CAPCOM do SNES owners. Love this miracle too!

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

There's some slight lag issues, that keep it from being considered top tier, but homebrew developers claim that could be fixed. And it's understandable that it'd be rushed a bit, with the 16-bit market in its dying days. It was a shock to see it on store shelves, much less looking that good.

[@GXSCChater]

@@juststatedtheobvious9633 Where have you been? Homebrew developers have fixed it, but we did found out that it was the bad sound engine creating all the lag! So now there is a proper version that fixes the sound engine issues and removes the loading times and patches in the shin akuma code to just holding select on akuma.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

@@GXSCChater Thanks for the update. I only know about the lag being fixable in the first place thanks to a Google translate of Portugese, and the Real Bout Genesis port. It's difficult to find homebrew I've missed, because literally every ROM patch these days is cynically listed as an improvement, regardless of what it actually does.

[@kickconnection83]

I know! I love projects related to these kinds of conversions of "Make this....work on this....using only this."

[@ggn3]

Been aware of the SNES SFA2 port for years and still amazes me how much of a technical achievement it was to program the game and is actually a pretty solid port aside from some loss of animations and sound/voice effects.

[@dariog36th]

Capcom hated making that game for the SNES. It’s reason the N64 only got like 3 games from Capcom and none of them were street fighter.

[@MKF30]

I have the snes version its a little slower and lags at times but I get why considering how much they jammed on it still impressive.

[@afriend9428]

*SEGA SATURN hands down!!* ⭐️

[@sebastiann.8088]

Saturn was a 2D beast man, perfect for arcade fighters

[@skyprojectro]

There was also Alpha 2 Gold on PlayStation and Saturn

[@SonicFan-xv3xu]

And ps2

[@everettpurnell2374]

My favorite version 😩soundtrack was elite as hell

[@cuauhrkr1208]

This game and Resident Evil 2 for the N64 shows how incredible are the Capcom's developers.

[@Vampiraheq2]

I still have my Sega Saturn version 👍

[@sebastiann.8088]

Same!

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

Very cool! You had me at Street Fighter! Cheers and rock on!

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

How is it that the SNES intro looked better than the PS1 intro? Lol.

[@QuickTimeFailure]

Holy crap, I don't remember the PS1 version being so horribly compressed.

[@varimkadas6068]

The SNES and Saturn were surprisingly faithful to the arcade intro. The Playstation as well, but ... have the colors always been so muted on the Playstation?

[@j2dacee]

Its a video file playing with horrible definition and framerate. not a programed intro like the other versions

[@jsr734]

That was the original Play Station release wich used prerecorded fmv for the intro ptesentation😞. Capcom later released Street Fighter Alpha 2 "Gold" with a remade intro done properly in real time.

[@Dracobyte]

That must be a rare and expensive cartridge nowadays!

[@hbk92701]

That PS1 vs Saturn, holy shit what happened there? Looks like they just used a video for the PlayStation

[@richardthefox3412]

I wonder if the SNES port might have been better not only with a larger cartridge, (40 or 48 megabits), but also with a SuperFX2 chip

[@Chiry1980]

aaahh, when Capcom made soundtracks "the love boat" style...

[@t.vampiro4800]

Saturn!

[@gouravchakraborty9801]

Saturn beats PS1 here because PS1 resorted to use FMV for intro instead of creating from ground up.

[@CurtindoAqueleDrama]

In Alpha 2 Gold (PS1) the intro was remade with sprites.

[@crencottrell7849]

All the versions were nice but I preferred the Arcade openings 😁

[@evilblader7]

Pocos ports de este juego, pero ya sabes lo que dice el dicho: mejor calidad que cantidad... Supongo, aunque el Port de play station se ven pálidos los colores 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Dicho esto, si ese Street fighter para super Nintendo fue prácticamente un milagro, es cierto que se queda un momentito en la pantalla de versus, pero hey!! El juego en general corre súper bien. Tuve suerte de encontrarlo barato hace más de 15 años, lo compre pensando que era un chino(repro) o un ROM hack, pero por mi amor incondicional a la franquicia en ese entonces no andaba pensando eso, incluso le pedí, prácticamente le rogue al vendedor que me diera un día más para comprarlo porque en ese momento no andaba dinero, me costó $15, ahora las ratas revendedoras lo quieren vender entre $40 a $60, no sabes lo afortunada que me siento al tenerlo en mi colección.

[@estebancruz6194]

Cuál SF2 SNES es el mejor en tu opinión?

[@evilblader7]

@@estebancruz6194 Uuuuuuyyyy... Esa pregunta es algo difícil para mí, por cuestiones sentimentales diría que Street fighter 2, pero siendo justos creo que sería este alpha, es rápido, sistema de combos, especiales y otras cositas pese a que a veces se queda por momentos.

[@estebancruz6194]

@@evilblader7 te entiendo. Hay varios q son muy buenos, y el SF2 tiene su nivel de nostalgia único. Yo creo me quedo con el SF2 Turbo.

[@evilblader7]

@@estebancruz6194 muchos se quedan con eso 😉

[@Dracobyte]

Nice video!

[@jsr734]

Wow, even the snes version has some extra details like the thunderbolts and some grass animation missing in the Saturn version.

[@Mohammed1000real]

The Sega Saturn wins in music!

[@DenkyManner]

The SNES was capable of much better music than that. Capcom seemed to struggle with translating their arcade music to snes for some reason.

[@CharlyHyo]

Wow la version de PS1 es un FMV tan mal hecho que literal la version de SNES se ve mejor y con mas cuidado, eso que es una consola inferior pero aun asi logro ser un digno juego pese a ese error de programación que hace que se sienta lento el juego Me imagino que haras una comparativa con Alpha 3 el cual debo decir que la versión de PSP tiene cambios junto a la de PS1 por los personajes extra

[@cruxdeluxe]

I guess we're just not going to talk about how Chun-Li's hands are the wrong way around in all versions of this intro?

[@VideosDiversosBr]

Impressão minha ou na intro com o Dan , o arco do pé direito é o mesmo do esquerdo? ou seja o arco do pé esta do lado contrario em relação ao dedão... Is it just me or is it in the intro with Dan, that the arch of the right foot is the same as the left? In other words, the arch of the foot is on the opposite side in relation to the big toe...

[@JuicyPlayer]

PS1 is the worst just for the fact that they used a recorded low quality FMV

[@legacytournament]

Incredible that the snes intro looks better than the ps1

[@Cloudcolin]

I was surprised that Sega Saturn version looked better than Playstation version. Also the SNES was impressive, even though it is only 16 bit console.

[@AkiraChin-w7d]

There missed some important detail difference from 3rd theme which Zangief esist,Saturn verision have not meteors behind.And 2nd theme,Charlie Nash haven't arc graphic by his foot.

[@roman_zubrilin_88]

Where is SFA2 Gold?

[@freedz9020]

The Saturn version is the best

[@sebastiann.8088]

Agreed man 🤝

[@luckystudent00]

I do prefer the PS2 Version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold tbh

[@MagisterHamid]

Seems to be something wrong of your PS1 capture? The quality is VHS

[@BitsBeats]

Surprisingly enough, the PS1 intro is an FMV at a very low resolution.

[@MagisterHamid]

@@BitsBeats that’s awful. I noticed that it was fixed on the Gold version of SFA2 on PS1.

[@noaht2005]

Yeah, I think one of their marvel games did the same thing. Typical capcom skimping with its PS1 fighter ports.

[@AbsoluteDash21]

​@@noaht2005And that game is X-Men Children of the Atom (1994), no wonder why it was the only Marvel game on PS1 that had gameplay footage on its intro

where is the alpha 2 gold?

[@kda9x]

Am I the only one who times my start with the announcer saying 2?

[@noaht2005]

If the snes could do a proper intro, why couldn’t the Playstation?

[@jsr734]

Capcom's lazyness 🥱. They remade the Play Station's version intro in Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, now using real time grsphics 😎

[@JohnCharb87]

The SNES version looks stunning. There's a noticeable drop in quality in the Playstation version. Compared to the others it looks awful. Again the Sega Saturn's sound quality is top notch even better than the Arcade.

[@CurtindoAqueleDrama]

Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold in PS1, made with sprites. Charlie has all flashkick sprites (missing in Saturn): kzbin.info/www/bejne/boOyiYaVfbCYppo

Shouldn't be a comparison it's a bit hard to spot the differences

[@andersonrodrigo63]

Is PS version a "record"?

[@PoisonousPen]

I remember thinking as a kid that SFA2 might have the worse music on the SNES. As an adult, it seems to have aged even worse 😕

[@Externity7]

I feel like snes couldve been there if it had the super FX chip. I love the snes one but they couldve made the music a bit prettier...

Is the ps 1 version looking worse than snes ? 🤔
