Looks like a lot of people are into sf2. Hope you are already to be whooped when the HD version comes out (And I hope I am as good as my feeble memory thinks I am...)

I sold my arcade stick. But I am up for a bit of nostalgia even with the controller!!! I will be Live later on, I guess.! (after 7pm)

I've only ever played SFII Turbo
UnluckyYou have missed out on some great additions to the series that brought much more depth to the gameplay. Even more unlucky if you only ever played the home ports (SNES / xbox live etc). Whilst these offer more features, to an old timer beat em up fan like me, nothing beats playing this in the arcades for pure nostalgia/social element.
Sadly the good versions of SF2/Alpha were never released on Xbox, and the collection version does not work through BC

I played alpha 2 a few time and that was great fun. It's a series I'd like to get into but no one I know enjoys playing it and online is pants for these reaction based games. I played alpha 2 on the Saturn and SFII on the SNES.
Alpha 2 on the saturn is probably the best saturn game ever imo. The Saturn pads were just made for that game!
Ordered Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, it comes in two days, I can't wait. Been playing SF2 a lot on 360 but I can't stand the controllers. The biggest thing that bugs me is that you have to press forward twice instead of once as part of the opening command for the Shoryuken punch. Ah well.
