The Street Fighter Alpha PS2 game has been added to the list of possible titles that can be won each week by Gameindustry.com readers. Each week one lucky free subscriber is chosen to go into the GiN vault and grab a prize of their choice.
Nate Wooley, publisher of GiN, was extremely excited to be able to put what amounts to the entire Street Fighter series on the list of winnable prizes. "Everyone loves the Street Fighter series going all the way back to the early arcade machines," he said. "And now, like a greatest hits CD, this game offers all the best Street Fighter goodness in one package. I wish our readers the best, cause I want to give these all away to some extremely happy people."
The Street Fighter Alpha Anthology brings five prized fighters united for the first time. This is an arcade-perfect compilation of Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and Street Fighter Alpha 3. Choose from a cast of 13 characters from the collective Street Fighter Universe: Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Charlie plus 9 more. This title introduces the use of super combos and alpha counters to add new dimensions to fighting. As an added bonus the "pint-sized" Super Gem Fighter MiniMix (released on consoles as Pocket Fighter) is also included.
All titles in the collection feature three core gameplay options. Arcade mode pits competitors against a series of CPU controlled opponents in order to beat the game. Versus mode allows two players to choose among the cast of characters for intense head-to-head battles. Fighters can practice special moves and combos to hone their skills in the training mode. Additionally, all four Alpha titles feature survival mode as well as a dramatic battle mode which allows 2-on-1 tagteam matches.
