With so many characters and so many variations, this mode alone will never fail to present interesting match-ups - once you unlock it, Hyper Street Fighter Alpha becomes pretty much the only thing you need on the disc.

Also, on top of the three regular Isms for Alpha 3 characters, there are four entirely new options tucked away that draw upon other games such as the Versus series for chain combos and even 3rd Strike with a parrying option for the more technically-minded among you. Prefer your Isms? Take an Alpha 3 character and you're all set. Hyper Street Fighter Alpha, like Hyper Street Fighter 2, allows you to pick any character from the huge Alpha 3 Upper roster and use them in whatever guise you'd like. Luckily, Capcom has had the grace to include Alpha 3 Upper as an unlockable when you beat Alpha 3 (extra character ahoy) and if you finish each of the games once, you're given a brand new remix known as Hyper Street Fighter Alpha. That they're derived from the coin-op versions seems somewhat double-edged to begin with, in that while it does mean you get the optimum version of each game technically, additions made over the last few years - characters added to Alpha 3 for the PSP and GBA versions, for example - are sadly omitted. (And what with some very reasonable conversion rates for odd-quid and quid-a-pop at the moment, all the better.)Īlpha Anthology brings together arcade conversions of all three Street Fighter Alpha titles (as well as Alpha 2 Gold for the completists) and offers Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix as a bonus. Kudos to Capcom, then, for collecting five games which are all worth playing, and charging us just four quid a pop for the privilege. Because once the excitement's died down, you're only going to be playing a couple of them, and bargain status is revoked. Twenty-odd games for twenty-odd quid? Bargain! Except it isn't always, is it. Compilations are ten a penny these day, but it's rare to find one with more than two or three games worth playing.
