Street Fighter Alpha 2 takes place a few months after the events of Street Fighter Alpha. Ryu and Ken Masters have become world champions, but a new threat emerges as they face off against Akuma, who seeks to destroy their spirits.
The gameplay is more complex than its predecessor, introducing a custom combo system that allows players to create unique combinations of moves and special attacks. The game also retains the chain-combo system from Street Fighter Alpha, adding depth and strategy to the fighting experience.
