Our featured retro game this episode is Street Fighter Alpha 2 for the original PlayStation.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Street Fighter Alpha 2, making it the perfect time to revisit one of the greatest fighting games ever created.

Released in 1996, Street Fighter Alpha 2 built upon the original alpha in just about every way imaginable.

The visuals were improved, the mechanics were deeper, the characters felt more balanced, and the introduction of custom combos gave players an entirely new way to dominate their opponents.

The game was a critical and commercial success, and many fans still consider it one of the finest entries in the entire franchise.

It's also remarkable to think about where we are in Street Fighter history.

Street Fighter II celebrated its 35th anniversary this year.
