Street Fighter Alpha provided some of the most important additions to the series' gameplay, and to the fighting genre in general; air-blocking, multi-level super moves, custom combos, -isms (what would later become “grooves” in the Capcom vs SNK series), and stances all got their start in the Street Fighter Alpha series.

 PS2 Game Reviews: Street Fighter Alpha Anthology
Alpha 1 may not have a huge roster, and most characters share a background with another character, but its utilitarian feel is part of its charm.
Once you unlock Alpha 3 Upper, by beating Alpha 3 once, you'll be able to select the extra characters and backgrounds that Capcom produced for the Dreamcast version of the game (and a very-limited arcade release), bringing the final overall count to 33 characters.
Alpha 2 Gold is better balanced and has a more consistent art style, but Alpha 3 Upper offers multiple play styles and has a character roster that can't be beat.

 Street Fighter Alpha Anthology Review for PS2 - Pro-G
Street Fighter Alpha Anthology not only represents an excellent opportunity to do just that, but is also one hell of a bargain thanks to its budget price point.
The Street Fighter Alpha series was born out of a need to deliver a worthy follow-up to Super Street Fighter II without jumping straight into development of Street Fighter III, and so started a prequel series whilst bringing in conventions and graphical style from the Darkstalkers series.
Street Fighter Alpha, although the first and least sophisticated in the series, still holds up as an excellent fighting game which laid the foundation for the rest.

 Street Fighter Alpha Anthology Sony Play Station 2 Video Game Review by AceGamez
Street Fighter is a classic 2D beat'em up franchise, with a wide variety of characters, all with their own unique moves and fighting styles.
Sure, fighting games existed before a bunch of Street Fighter games appeared, but it was this franchise that made the genre a whole lot more mainstream, and brought the concept of one-on-one battles between two super-powered fighters kicking seven bells out of each other, against colourful 2D backdrops, to the masses.
Alpha games include lots of playable characters - and the character charter seems to increase with every Alpha game, the third and final one pretty much housing all of the characters from all of the Street Fighter games that had been released at the time.

Back in 1987 when the original Street Fighter was released (only Ken and Ryu were playable characters) gamers would find themselves accidentally unleashing hell on an unsuspecting opponent with a fireball, dragon punch or whirlwind kick.
While each game features a dizzying array of rosters, some which feature your favorites and some which don't, a nice hidden unlockable is Hyper Street Fighter Alpha which allows all of the SF characters to have it and there are many cool moves to be unlocked and discovered.

Regardless of quality a 2D fighter is unlikely to fly off the shelves; however, Capcom have ensured a compilation of superb attention to detail for those that still fondly recall the motions for a "Shoryuken" or the sequence for Akuma's deadly "Shun Goku Satsu".
Although 2D fighters tend to get overlooked in this day and age of first-person-shooters and countless derivative third-person clones, Street Fighter Alpha Anthology still manages to entertain with a level of skill, precision and dexterity that is sorely missed - games this good will never die...

 PlanetDreamcast: Games - Reviews - Street Fighter Alpha 3
Alpha 3 has taken an old SNK feature and done it one better: there are now multiple versions of each character, some of which play quite differently from each other.
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.

 Xploder Online | Playstation 2 | Reviews | Street Fighter: Alpha Anthology
This 1995 prequel (which was appropriately titled Street Fighter Zero in Japan) offered many of the familiar Street Fighter characters sporting a younger look, multiple new gameplay elements, new environments and a fresh veneer of graphics that fans enjoyed.
Street Fighter Alpha 2, which doesn't deviate from the original release either is probably the best game in this collection because it offers a lot of the characters fans loved and a lot more move variations.
