Why is Alpha so different than the other Street Fighters?

[Flake]

well he should

if just to see probably the best sprite work ever done

I really wish that SFIV had kept the sprite work approach.

I don't know what's more shocking, that fact that you're new to Alpha, or the fact that you've never even played the III series..

I thought from the thread you were... Anywho you really should try out the III series, it's some of the best Sprite and artwork from Capcom... Still looks amazing with a decent resolution..

no I was just playing Alpha last night and remembering that I'm not nearly as good at it as SFII becuz I the moves aren't memorized and 2nd nature for me.

Anyway, I'm sure III is great, but I don't own any consoles its on (I don't think -- is there a Wii compilation that contains it?)

Unfortuately, no. There is only a samurai shodown and king of fighters compilation.

Look on the bright side though; at least Tatsunoko vs Capcom is on Wii.

when I finally played IV recently I noticed that Chun-Li's moves were the same as in II.

Capcom deliberately made IV feel like just another revision of II. That made it feel like a step in the wrong direction to me.

I think II was more successful than alpha and 3 and with the retro movement like xbla and such is probably why they did that. I agree it was probably a mistake. I seem to like alpha better.
