If you care about these sort of things, it can be worth looking at the earlier versions just to see how dramatically the art changed overtime, along with the music and other aesthetic trappings (UI, announcer, etc). If you just want the "essential" SF2 experience, just play Super Turbo. For the Alpha series, Alpha 2 is essentially an upgrade of Alpha 1, same storylines but with more characters and better gameplay. There's almost no reason to play Alpha 1 aside from seeing its stages and hearing its music, which are different from Alpha 2. Alpha 3 is a sequel to Alpha 2 with new stories, characters, and mechanics. In the tournament scene Alpha 2 is more well-regarded than Alpha 3 (better balanced), but only Alpha 3 has online play in this collection. There are technically further arcade revisions of Alpha 2 and 3 but those are universally rejected and not included here. This collection also ignores the console ports which add more characters (from other SF games, not any brand new ones) and features. The different versions of SF3 have a lot of aesthetic and mechanical differences. The only one that people like to play for the gameplay is Third Strike, however. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
