The first game in a series launched by Capcom to bridge the gap of the events between Street Fighter and Street Fighter II. Sega Saturn version is arcade perfect, every other console version may be decent but many hardcores who want their port to be mirrored from the arcade this is your game. Alpha expanded on the super move system introduced in Super Street Fighter II Turbo and introduced the Air Guard and Alpha Counter. Classic favorites Ryu, Ken, Sagat and Chun Li return along with Street Fighter one enemies Adon and Birdie, as well as Final Fight's Guy and Sodom are making their SF playable character debuts. Two new characters to the game are Charlie (Guile's friend mentioned in his SFII ending) and Rose as well as three unlockables Akuma, M. Bison and Dan. Dan was strictly created by Capcom as a jab at SNK's Art of Fighting series as he dresses and fights like main character Ryo Sakazaki and looks like other main character Robert Garcis, but his moves are very weak and is basically a joke. However it is fun to use him and beat people as a means of bragging. The gameplay is very fun but a bit of an adjustment to people either new to Street Fighter completely or haven't played any other SF titles since II and its spinoffs. In this game you only have to win 8 fights to beat the game rather than the 12 you had to in the 4 previous games. Each character has their own story line and different "rival" or "boss" fights as their eighth fight. The only thing I disliked was the unlockables. I stumbled upon two of them without having to go through the challenge of getting them through playing the game, so the only thing I can think of is the unlock codes for those who want them without playing were too easy because I wasn't even attempting any codes. To sum things up the Saturn port of Street Fighter Alpha is a must have for Hardcore Street Fighter (or fighting games in general) fans. If you're not a collector or just a passive fighting game fan, this game may not be a necessity, but could still provide a lot of fun should you come across it.Read full review
Both Steet Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter the Movie are great games. Alpha is arcade perfect and just a stellar game in all categories. The Movie is just a fun ride thrown atop great bit of nostalgia. It's just Street Fighter 2, but fun non the less.

So before I got my Sega Saturn I was thinking of buying Capcom & Marvel fighting games for PS1 & PS2 but I noticed that the VS games are not exactly like the arcade games because you cant switch fighters during the match. So I got a Sega Saturn & Sega Dreamcast to get the full arcade fighting Experience. Plus I have an Arcade stick that works on both Sega Systems. I DECIDED TO GET THIS STREET FIGHTER GAME TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION. STREET FIGHTER II IS WHAT STARTED IT ALL AND THIS GAME IS THE EXACT ARCADE VERSION OF SFII & SFII TURBO AND SF ALPHA. STREET FIGHTER REMAINS THE BEST FIGHTING 2D GAME OF ALL TIME!!
In Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams for the Sega Saturn has a great cast of 13 characters for whom to get to chose from. Their will be new moves and combinations for you to massacre your opponents with. You will also have the option to trains yourself before you desire to fight for real in the New Training Mode. You can also train yourself the Arcade and Versus Mode. In addition, you will get to enjoy the hand-drawn animation in Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams for your Sega Saturn.
Don't have the arcade? Well bring the game home to the Saturn with the Saturn version being the best arcade port. With better load times than the PS1 version this is a must have for any Saturn collection especially if you love 2d fighters.
