Street Fighter Alpha

Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams, known as Street Fighter Zero in Japan, Asia, South America, and Oceania, is a 1995 fighting game developed and published by Capcom for arcades. It was the first all-new Street Fighter game produced by Capcom since 1991's Street Fighter II. Plotwise, it serves as a prequel to Street Fighter II and thus features younger versions of established characters, as well as characters from the original Street Fighter and Final Fight.

Where Street Fighter Alpha sits on the grid

The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Street Fighter Alpha lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.

Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.

What readers say about Street Fighter Alpha

Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
