Capcom has a little Street Fighter-flavored surprise for you all this week. It has announced on its official blog site that Street Fighter Alpha is coming to the PlayStation Network this Thursday under the PSOne Classics banner.
Street Fighter Alpha represented a change for the series, bringing an all-new anime feel to the graphics and a revamped combo system as well as new characters. It was probably very critically acclaimed and sold well, but I'm not sure because that part of the Wikipedia article is a stub. Award winning games journalism wins again.
With Street Figher IV on the way and Super Street Fighter HD Remix Omega Super Downloadable Fighting Extreme Mario Sunshine Exploding Cobblers hitting the PSN and Xbox Live, is there really a need to release Alpha? Seems a little obsolete to me, but I'm sure hardcore fighting fans somewhere are excited.

But most likely I will still get it on Thursday, because I'm a big dumbass.
"... Mario Sunshine ... hitting the PSN ..."
Oh, the joy of ellipses!
Not excited.
just watch the dudes in 2df -freeplay. games like street fighter 3-3, marvel vs capcom or stret fighter alpha 3 but whithout the fucking lag will be a sure buy for fighting aficionados
For me SF3 was the best it could ever be. Simple super combo for everyone. Only one to choose ans some simple moves.
The superb look and animation help also. I wish we could get less silly characters and more Akuma, Hibuki, Ken, Dan and less weirdo metallic dude like..well, that metallic dude I never play as.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 = Supa Mega Guretonesu! (butchered romaji for Super Mega Greatness)
If XBLA can have Alpha 3!!
SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI
I am also excited for Super Street Fighter HD Remix Omega Super Downloadable Fighting Extreme Mario Sunshine Exploding Cobblers, or SSFHDROSDFEMSEC for short.
*sits and waits for STHD* God damn couldn't go to EVO...
