 PlanetDreamcast: Games - Reviews - Street Fighter Alpha 3
An X-ism character plays like someone from Super Street Fighter II Turbo; they give out and take more damage than the other 'isms, have a slowly-filling super bar, a single super combo, and none of that fancy air blocking stuff.
A-ism is the "standard" type of character, akin to someone from Street Fighter Alpha: they have air blocking, multiple super combos, air recovery, a 3 level super meter, and alpha counters.
Sure, all Street Fighter games allow you to play a character as you choose, but the 'ism system allows you to custom-tailor the fighter to your specific gameplay style.

This is Akuma's team up super, and if he is your inactive fighter when you do the team super motion, he will wait until the other character finishes their attack and THEN do his super fireball.

 AAW: Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Review
The film wisely focuses a few characters, and many of the fights are, impressively enough, meaningfully connected to the plot, and at times even dramatically effective.
The character designs are even better than most versions of the games (but still quite recognizable), the personalities fit well, and the moves are simultaneously faithful and surprisingly believable (though certainly not realistic by any stretch).
Overall, Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie is a must see for any fan of the game or of fighting game anime in general.

 Super Street Fighter II: Turbo Revival for Game Boy Advance Review - Game Boy Advance Super Street Fighter II: Turbo ...
For the most part, Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival is identical to the arcade version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo--an impressive achievement.
Street Fighter II and its predecessor made famous the six-button control configuration used for many other fighting games after.
Since the arcade version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo was quite famous for how it made virtually every attack of virtually every character useful, it's not really preferable to simply ignore some of the attack buttons in Turbo Revival, though you do have this option.

Capcom's 2-D fighters have always been among the best, and Street Fighter Alpha 2 is their best home conversion yet.
Saturn owners should be pleased to know that Street Fighter Alpha 2's translation from coin-op to home is almost flawless.
Moreover, the fighting engine has been tweaked to give the game some distinction from the previous Street Fighter games, including the original Street Fighter Alpha (which was a prequel to Street Fighter 2, making Street Fighter Alpha 2 the sequel to a prequel of a sequel to the original Street Fighter).
