# Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams - A Stylish Arcade Fighting Classic Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams, known as *Street Fighter Zero* in Japan and Asia, is a 1995 fighting game developed and published by Capcom for arcades using CP System II hardware. Set between *Street Fighter* and *Street Fighter II* in the timeline, it introduces a prequel story with a vibrant anime-inspired art style. Featuring 13 playable characters—returning favorites Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, plus newcomers like Akuma, Charlie, Rose, Birdie, Sodom, Guy, and Adon, and three unlockable bosses (M. Bison, Sagat, Dan)—it blends *Street Fighter II* mechanics with new features like Alpha Counters and Super Combos. Ported to PlayStation and Sega Saturn (1996) and later to GBA (2002), it sold over 1 million units across platforms and kicked off the beloved *Alpha* series. ## Why Play Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams? Street Fighter Alpha delivers fast-paced 2D combat with a refreshed roster and innovative mechanics. The Alpha Counter lets players block and counterattack, while the three-level Super Combo gauge enables powerful moves like Ryu’s Shinku Hadoken. New characters like Rose (with her Soul Power) and Guy (from *Final Fight*) add variety, and the dramatic story mode explores younger versions of iconic fighters. Its colorful sprites, dynamic soundtrack, and balanced gameplay make it a must-play for retro ROM fans and fighting game enthusiasts, though its technical depth can challenge newcomers. ## Game Features - Play as 13 characters (10 initial: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Charlie, Rose, Birdie, Sodom, Guy, Adon, Akuma; 3 unlockable: M.
