Simply AWESOME! Street Fighter Alpha 2 on PlayStation!

[@KISSFan1977]

I loved the Alpha games, got and played them on the Sega Saturn! Such great games!

[@BiohazardOutbreak]

I love the moving cruise party stage...Stryder is just chillen by the pool..peak Capcom era

[@JP47471]

Felisha is in the pool.

[@PCAMARA527]

Awesome seeing you cover Street Fighter too! I’m more of an MK fan for sure but also love SF

[@205ENTMore]

I absolutely agree. Alpha 3 is top 5 best fighting game soundtracks of all time

[@stephenpenor9957]

Man hearing that mystic chime of the Playstation when it boots up brings me back from long night's with my brother and cousin's playing soul caliber, crash bandicoot, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid and Twisted metal! My favorites for the PS. CRASH BANDICOOT IS MY FAVORITE PLAY STATION GAME! I remember playing this vaguely so I couldn't make a comment on it. Looks pretty dope though! Fun watching these playthroughs as always Darryl! HMS BROTHA! Happy holidays to you and your family dude once again!! PSYCHO CRUSHER!!!

[@BiohazardOutbreak]

I was literally just playing RE1 yesterday on psx emulator, I downloaded Twisted Metal 2 today lol, I've got Crash on here too...MGS is one my fav games of all time, along with the original Tomb Raider

[@BushyStallion]

Thanks for the comment brother, those are some classic PS1 games right there! 👊🏼 HMS

[@stephenpenor9957]

@BushyStallion big time classic!

[@khrashingphantom9632]

The Soundtrack for this was a BANGER!! I’m surprised you didn’t like it. This was a fantastic game either way. Thanks for posting.

[@songoku9348]

The best SF game on PS1. A lot of fans have debated over the years between this and SFA3, I think I prefer SFA2 slightly over 3.

[@epicbasedman]

Most people would agree

[@nickangelo116]

Alpha 2 is often considered the best of the Alpha series by die-hard fans, but I will always choose Alpha 3 over Alpha 2. The change in mechanics from 2 to 3 doesn't bother me whatsoever. Alpha 3, Champion Edition, and SSF2T are my personal top three.

[@jamiew1286]

​@@nickangelo116nothing will ever beat good ole champion edition for me. I still do a run though once or twice a week.

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

​@@nickangelo116I totally agree my favorite Street Fighter games are Street Fighter Alpha 3 Street Fighter 3rd Strike Street Fighter 4 Street Fighter Alpha 2 was all right but I liked Alpha 3 a little better because it had more characters if I'm not mistaken

[@nweditor875]

Great game love this era of Capcom, love playing this with people who come over to visit.

[@TheDogSamurai]

Alpha 3 was my first in this series; really good times. Thanks for the nostalgia 👊

[@larrymasif5851]

When I Officially bought my First Ever SNES, my Bundled it with Street Fighter 2 World Warrior & Then Later Stumbled onto my First Ever SNES Mortal Kombat. When I bought my First Ever PlayStation 1, I Bundled it with Street Fighter Zero / Alpha 2. Why? Because Arcade Renditions Ruled Home Consoles in the 90’s. This Brought back some Nice Nostalgia, Thankyou Darryl Tsung.🙏

[@JoJoRodriguez-WRX]

Charlie was actually Guile's combat partner and in the alpha series this is before Bison had un alived Charlie and later SFA3 Upper Guile was reintroduced into the Alpha series I like MK1 MK2 MK3 and UMK3 but I enjoy Street Fighter it's my favorite games

[@oldskoolpaul77]

Awesome game! Great play through!

[@PaidProgramming-th6tp]

The alpha games are my favorite Street Fighter games and Charlie is my favorite character. Tremendous!

[@BushyStallion]

Right on! I remember liking Sakura and eventually Dudley when he was introduced. I appreciate the comment! 👊🏼

[@jahdorose8659]

Very good pick this was fun back in the day

[@doppleganger4827]

Birdie is actually from Street Fighter 1, though he'd fit right in with the gang in Final Fight. His stage being in a bathroom reminds me of the bathroom you fight thru near the end of Final Fight, which might be where the idea came from, maybe.

[@piratesephiroth]

yeah, birdie and adon

[@Drew_D]

I think that fighting Bison in Venezuela is only when you play as Charlie. Normally, you fight Bison at a base with guards and a large plane.

[@cobrakainevereverdies6940]

I've been playing this on the 2D Machine = Saturn For the past week or so.

[@captainshiner42]

I was a poor, jobless high schooler when SFA 2 hit consoles, so I was stuck with the SNES version(which is one of the greatest console ports ever). I love this damn game!

[@lnguyen602]

I love the ps1 startup music!!! You should do Alpha 3 next! That one was my favorite Alpha

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

You ain't never told a lie he should do Street Fighter Alpha 3 next on PS1

[@BushyStallion]

Alpha 3 coming soon, thanks for the comment 👊🏼

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

@@BushyStallion you are very welcome👍

[@DejoyTV]

Hell yeah 2 was always my favorite alpha game!

[@mrmarvelus1]

I love this one and all the SF Alphas. I play this on Fightcade alot. Gotta love facing Birdie in a bathroom while others are releasing themselves and the hold time phone waiting music as the credits roll! 😅

[@davidbermudez7704]

I still remember that sound 😊😊😊

[@captainshiner42]

It's all about the default Street Fighter controls. Hard attacks on the triggers and everything else set to default.

[@grgmj1980]

SFA2 was the perfect blend of fun, story, and difficulty. One of the best fighters of all time. Do you have the Saturn version? Or the GoG version?

[@dachucktaylor1]

Switching it up i see. My fav playstation era street fighter game besides a guilty pleasure of mine which is street fighter ex plus alpha.

[@BushyStallion]

Street Fighter Ex Plus Alpha you say? Hmmm maybe I need to revisit this one as well! Thanks for the comment my friend 👊🏼

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

They did a good job with the PS1 Port of the alpha games even if it was not actually arcade perfect it looked arcade perfect in most people's eyes I literally cannot tell a difference who thinks he should play Street Fighter Alpha 3 next

[@terrellc8658]

Kool street fighter alpha 2 one of my favorites

[@BushyStallion]

I regret not playing SFA2 Gold now however that was the one I had originally got way back in the day. Thanks for the comment Terrell I appreciate it! 👊🏼

[@terrellc8658]

@BushyStallion yep 👍🙂

[@nickangelo116]

I was an Alpha 3 guy; Alpha 3, Champion Edition, and SSF2T. Those are the best. Those are my personal top three. Alpha 2 is often considered the best of the Alpha series by die-hard fans, but it doesn't have half the characters 3 does. I will always choose Alpha 3 over Alpha 2.

[@piratesephiroth]

yeah, I think alpha 3 is the best too

[@lycanhybrid2344]

there is a patch that fixes the load times on the SNES version. Capcom could've done it but didn't.

[@TheObserver83]

KAYYY OWHHHHH!!! YOOooo WINNN!

[@stupendous1068]

Should play the third Alpha game.

[@TwistedIdentity]

Is the screen tearing actually in the game or is it just because your camera isn't syncing up to your tv screen? Just wondering. Love playing the Alpha games on Saturn

[@Ethan-mn9jh]

Cool game!!

[@bryanconrad525]

I have this for my sega Saturn. Too bad my Saturn no longer works.😢This was a little better for the Saturn(they just had the knack for fighting games,and the controller just fit street fighter games) Great playthrough though.

[@MusicalRetroGamer22]

Charlie taught guile everything he knows

[@SuperFriendlyUser2407]

Who do you the final boss in Street Fighter series is worse?

[@paulj5336]

It's a really decent port but just pipped to the post by the Saturn version. I missed the chain combo system of Alpha 1 though. I love the capcom fighting games of the ps1. Rival schools, Sf Collection and Alpha 3 were my faves.

[@Titan717]

I'll do a random lore dump. Birdie, Adon, and Gen are all from SF 1, as well as Eagle who was in Alpha 3 Max and of course Ryu/Ken and Sagat. Charlie trained Guile. Which is why they share moves. Sodom is from Final Fight, same as Guy, Rolento, and Cody. SF tends to use a lot of FF characters. Still however, Hagar, has never been in an "SF" title. As for Ken's stage- 99% of the characters are from previous capcom titles.

[@BushyStallion]

I appreciate the comment that’s good stuff right there! 👊🏼 wasn’t Haggar in Street Fighter X Tekken though? Maybe that doesn’t count I dunno.

[@Titan717]

​@BushyStallion Marvel vs Capcom 3 actually, and a cancelled title called Capcom Fighting All-Stars, which introduced Ingrid, who later was put in Alpha 3 Max. SFxT had Hugo and Poison though, both, FF characters.

[@robertevans1343]

Happy Holidays 2024

[@ResidentXombie]

I like SFA2 Gold better. The intro FMV has a sharper image.

[@BushyStallion]

Oh wow you know what? THAT was the version I grew up with, Gold. Totally forgot about that.

[@VOAN]

I remember getting that PS1 Street Fighter Collection collection which came with Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and Super Street Fighter II. I was surprise how good it was and it had all the secret characters easily accessible too. I later bought the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology for PS2 and it also came with Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Alpha 2 Gold on there.

[@Darknight0681]

That’s because on SFA2 Gold, that intro is actually system generated and not FMV. There were a few other performance improvements too. That said, audio sound effects were the only thing this version had over the Saturn version. Otherwise the Saturn version trounces this everywhere else.

[@ResidentXombie]

@ my problem with the Saturn version is the stretched widescreen, making everyone look much wider than normal.

[@adaocezimbra]

The supreme Alpha series is SFA2 for sure. Mechanic, gameplay, beauty backgrounds, grpahics, sounds...👏

[@benjaminphilp720]

brought on saturn had shin akuma played saturn port something ps1 didnt have also water reflection were gone on gen stage rolento stage was missing the lift above the building think saturn quick load times.

[@PikangsFutaba]

Funny enough, that's Charlie/Nash's canon ending that leads for him to the events of Street Fighter V, as for the most part, storywise... Alpha 3 doesn't exists in that regard for most characters, I got used to play the SNES port and then later the Ps2 Alpha Anthology re-release, that one actually let you use Cammy in Arcade Mode in Alpha 2 Gold, as the original SFA2Gold only allowed Cammy to be playable in Vs Mode.

[@VOAN]

Yeah I think Charlie Nash was only included in Alpha 3 not for storyline purpose but for the sake of catering to the fans who started with the Alpha series. The thing about Capcom and Street Fighter in general is that once they include a character in a SF series, that can't remove that character until the series is over meaning in Street Fighter II if they introduce Fei-Long and Dee-Jay, both of them had to be there for the rest of the SFII series until the Street Fighter III series debut so Charlie being a regular in the Alpha series means he will had to stick around until the Alpha series ended with Alpha 3 Max being the last game. Also Street Fighter is the only fighting game franchise that turn its sequels into series, not many fighting games does that but SF.

[@chickenbites8877]

Try the Sega Saturn version then, it’ll blow your mind

[@FinalStage4L]

Yess a great game have you played the good edition of this ?

[@BushyStallion]

I have, that’s the version I had growing up actually, Street Fighter Alpha 2 GOLD, not this one. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼

[@Darknight0681]

Alpha 2 Gold was trashed from a competitive standpoint because of all the negative changes it made.

[@FinalStage4L]

Who can agree with me that Akuma mode on Street Fighter Alpha 2 is difficult especially if you're a casual player

[@wyldelf2685]

DARRYL ,The announcer on ""SF ALPHA 3"" was extra over the top and sounded down right Snotty and Sassy , plus he sounded very much like "George Grey" who is current announcer for gameshow ""The Price is Right"" with Drew Carey 🎉🏆😸👍👍

Hey Elf good point, I loved copying the Alpha 3 announcer also lol I appreciate the comment 👊🏼

[@MARKBOGHDADY007]

Hey Darryl, if you have the Street Fighter Collection for PS1 I'd like to see you play Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

[@BushyStallion]

I have a couple versions of this one. I have the version on the cab and the version on the collection for PS4. The last time I showcased that game I played on the arcade and it was TOO HARD lol even on easy. But I may just visit it again soon 👊🏼

[@Supermetabros92]

@@BushyStallion The AI in the version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo featured on Street Fighter Collection is much easier than the international arcade versions. There is a 3DO port of SSF2T which also has a toned down AI similar to the Japanese arcade versions. You should try that 3DO port of SSF2T in a next video.

[@haunteddeandollsuk]

i wish sony would bring that classic iconic intro music on their games😢 if they did i would buy a ps6 when it comes out 😅

[@BushyStallion]

I thought they did just recently make a special start up screen for PS5 because of the 30th anniversary?

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

You should play Alpha 3 next on the PlayStation the controls are slightly better than the Dreamcast PS2 versions is missing world tour mode

[@Darknight0681]

Who cares, PS2 is actually THE arcade game. Nobody bought that for world tour, they bought it to have a 100% arcade accurate conversion of the game for serious play. And all versions of SFA3 outside of the collections altered things to the point where the game was just wildly different. And not in a good way.

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

@Darknight0681 obviously you care to be replying to me about what I said both versions are great I don't care about accuracy screw that but PS1 has the full game and I'm sure a lot of people can agree with me on that statement but if you don't that's okay because I know what it was have a nice day

[@piratesephiroth]

@@Darknight0681 yeah Alpha Anthology on the PS2 has the definitive version of Alpha 3.

@@piratesephiroth both the PS1 and two versions are great PS2 version let you listen to the soundtrack and you get to play the upper version of alpha 3 PS1 version on the other hand has a better user interface loading screens background to beautiful and plus it's an impressive port for a PS1 game considering capcom's history with the PS1 for fighting games look at X-Men Children of the atom they messed that up on PS1 but all the other games turned out decent.

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

@@piratesephiroth if the game was bad on PS1 then how come it got a greatest hits usually games that succeed get greatest hits and don't get greatest hits the fact that they were able to get that game to run on such limited Hardware is impressive that's what I've been trying to say the whole time period

[@epicbasedman]

Why didn’t you play street fighter alpha 2 gold via the street fighter collection disc 2 Also I’m getting a Sega Genesis with mk2 and 1992. What other games should I get?

[@VOAN]

That version may be difficult to find. Also you will only get that game with Super Street Fighter II and II Turbo if you bought it brand new as Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold is on its own disc. So if you bought that collection used nowadays, sometimes the seller will just sell you disc 1 and not the disc that contain Alpha 2 Gold. It is not like the PS2 Street Fighter Alpha Anthology where it had all six games (Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Alpha 2 Gold, Alpha 3, Alpha 3 Upper, and Hyper Alpha) on one disc.

[@VOAN]

Of all the Street Fighter Alpha games, I love Alpha 2 more. I enjoy Alpha 3 as well but they change the game mechanic way too much in that game that it just annoy me instead. They made the Custom Combo its own variable style whereas here in Alpha 2 both the Custom Combo and A-ism style are combine which is more awesome. Alpha 3 not combining those anymore made most of the combos I had mastered from Alpha 2 no longer works in Alpha 3. I also don't like that in Alpha 3 you had to press two buttons (this is lame cause if you miss press just one of them the throws won't work) at the same time to throw an opponent whereas in Alpha 2 it works like in the older games where you could just use one button.

[@BushyStallion]

These are great points my friend and it’s obvious you’re a hard core Street Fighter fan. I don’t think I ever dissected these games like I’m finding many have who grew up with them have and do. But I genuinely like seeing comments like yours as it gives more insight for me into games like this. Appreciated 👊🏼

[@nickangelo116]

Alpha 2 is often considered the best of the Alpha series by die-hard fans, but I will always choose Alpha 3 over Alpha 2. I agree about the mechanics. I think that gives 2 and 2 Gold their own personality. Alpha 3, Champion Edition, and SSF2T are my personal top three.

[@piratesephiroth]

I think the old system with the single button and instantaneous throws was pretty bad and easy to abuse. Alpha 3 was much better making the throws have their own command and adding startup and recovery animations. At the very least it can be used to fill up the super bar (except for Blanka, who has the slowest throw animation).

[@mikekanner2156]

All street fighter games on PlayStation 1 was a failure you didn’t own the Sega Saturn that’s your problem why own the PS1 did it give you trophies 🏆

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

Saturn was better but, most 2D fighters on PSX still turned out well. The PSOne is Underrated in 2D.

[@amageese8481]

Fun fact : backward compatibility of Alpha 2 dash (second cd of street fighter collection PS1) is broken on ps3! 1 match and freezees! What a shame for 2d émulation. Agree for great music : cd quality + Qsound is marvelous. SAD it disapeared in future compilations.

[@ElijahBonilla-lc5vb]

Looks like you have to take out the old PS1 / PS2 if you want to play that game properly if you have a PC you can emulate the game on Duck station

[@sitrep123able]

Why not the Saturn version? It's way better.

[@VOAN]

Other than having a few small new animations, better intro, slightly better graphics, and Evil Ryu in the game, it's no different from the PS1 version which still had almost all of that and no Evil Ryu. At least PS gamers can still play their version on the PS2 and PS3. The Saturn version you can't really do that.

[@stupendous1068]

Probably because there is no "Kokomo music" in that game.

[@michaelmiller4105]

Unfortunately this is the weaker version of SFA2 on home consoles at the time. Decent port but not as good as Saturn.

[@punchabunchabuttons]

Oh man sfa2 on psx. I had my psx in 1999 when i started summer working so i can pay for a psx.. but before that I used to play this at my friend's for hours every weekends recording everything with a vhs so i can watch it back at home. I never realized the missing frames it was arcade perfect in my eyes. I did not see any loading, i saw beautiful artwork. It was bliss. P.s. Birdy is from Street Fighter 1.

[@javisarias]

WTF how can you like the music from SFA3 better???????

[@BushyStallion]

Preference I guess. Certain songs I. Particular, Blankas stage, Rose’ stage, the cut scenes, Bisons battle etc.. I just liked it better 👊🏼

[@javisarias]

@BushyStallion i always thought the production values of SFA2 music was higher. Good arrangements, great instrumentation, while SFA3 leaned more to electronic music and the overall quality is not as good

[@piratesephiroth]

I think Alpha3 is better too. Also SFA3 only has original tracks. In Alpha 2 Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and Sagat still have their remixes of their old themes. I think I only like Charlie's theme in Alpha 2, and maybe Akuma's. All the rest sounds pretty mediocre.

[@JoJoRodriguez-WRX]

In my opinion SFA2 is better than SFA3 I love SFA2 Gold is better than both

[@AnthonyPrice-vs5ze]

@@BushyStallion All Capcom 2d fighting games are superior on the Saturn.
