    It's an alright game, and the new modes are a welcome addition, but the game ultimately falls short in the actual combat. The "isms" are just silly, and a lot of it is going to boil down to the Street Fighter formula. Alpha 2 was the better SFA game, and this one seems like it has a lot of gimmicks to draw people in. There are much better 2D fighters, and many from this same period inIt's an alright game, and the new modes are a welcome addition, but the game ultimately falls short in the actual combat.

People claiming this is the best fighting game, or that Street FIghter games are "the pinnacle of the genre" live a sheltered life, and to no fault of their parents!… Expand

    Arguably the best version of Street Fighter to grace the system. [Feb 2003, p.97]

    With plenty of extra modes, flashy graphics, and excellent voiceovers, this could be the next step towards perfecting the 2D side of the Playstation fighters.

    Fans will appreciate that Capcom loaded this game with bonuses for the most diligent players. You'll find more modes to play and more characters to choose from such as Evil Ryu, Guile and more, so how's that for replay value? Not only did Capcom go overboard on extras but just wait until you see the art that appears before each fight in this game. It's classic.
