'''Street Fighter Alpha''' was the first entirely new Street Fighter game that [[Capcom]] made since [[Street Fighter II]].  With a completely new graphical look (very anime inspired) and game play engine, it provided fans of Street Fighter II with the closest that it would get to a sequel: a prequel.  Entitled Street Fighter Zero in Japan, the Street Fighter Alpha series would relay the events that took place between Street Fighter I and Street Fighter II.

SFA drew upon many inspirations for it's content, not the least of which was the Street Fighter II anime that was released shortly before the game.  SFA also contained a controversial cast.  Out of the 16 original cast members from [[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]] (not including Akuma), only 4 were selectable in the first Alpha game: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Sagat.  M. Bison returned as the boss, who could be selected via a code, along with Akuma, and new secret character Dan.  The rest of the cast was filled out by characters who previously appeared in the [[Final Fight]] series and [[Street Fighter I]], as well as brand new characters such as Charlie and Rose, the former being the subject of Guile's revenge in SF2.
