Street Fighter Alpha 2, known as in Japan, Asia, and South America, is a  fighting game originally released for the CPS II arcade hardware by Capcom. The game is both a sequel and a remake to the previous year's Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams, which is itself a prequel to the Street Fighter II series in terms of plot and setting. The game featured a number of improvements over the original, such as new attacks, stages, endings, and gameplay features.
