Street Fighter Alpha 2 is the second game in the secondary Street Fighter series. You know, the one where Ryu gets a fan and an 'evil' version?

Zangief sprites
| Unfinished Sprites | Mid-Air Recovery |
|---|---|
 |
 |
A set of unfinished sprites for Zangief, which show him in a backflip.
Several frames appear very similar to the sprites used in his mid-air recovery animation in the final game (as well as his jumping Hard Kick), apart from minor adjustments to his body and the position of his hands.
Regional Differences

Continuing the tradition from the first game, Street Fighter Alpha 2 is known as Street Fighter Zero 2 in Japan.
Manual Guard Mode

While the Japanese version got a full explanation on what Manual Guard Mode does, the English-speaking audience got a whole lot of nothing. It wouldn't be the first time, nor the last.
Additional Character Versions
The western versions include additional character versions such as Evil Ryu, and Dhalsim & Zangief, based on their Street Fighter II': Champion Edition appearances. These were not in the original Japanese version.
Revisional Differences
The game received a revision in Japan titled Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha.
Additions
New Survival, and Dramatic Battle modes were added through cheats. And there are Super Street Fighter 2 versions of Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Ken, Ryu, Sagat, Vega (M. Bison/Dictator), and Zangief.
Evil Ryu Dialogue
Evil Ryu has his own set of dialogues and an ending where he defeats Akuma. None of this was included in any of the localized console ports of the game, using instead the data of normal Ryu.
Midboss Fight:
Sakura: *pant* *pant*...I finally found you...huh? You're...
Ryu:...
Sakura: You're not the same person as before...what happened?!
Ryu: You are in my way...I will show no mercy!
VS Akuma
Akuma: Hmmm...quite a sharp look in your eyes...for a boy!
Ryu: Akuma...
Ryu: You're master's...master Gouken's enemy!
Akuma: Hah, you're nothing but a mere beginner.
Do you think you can defeat me with that pathetic killing power of yours?
Ending:
With Akuma's demise, Ryu was left with his fists soaked red with blood.
Afterwards, he disappeared--his whereabouts unknown.
Had Ryu fully embraced the true Satsui no Hadou?
Did he live, and succeed Akuma as the Master of the Fist?
Only time will tell when we see him again.
Will the sins etched on his fists lead him to oblivion?
