Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams
Arcade SystemsFighting
Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams is a 1995 arcade fighting game developed and published by Capcom. Known as Street Fighter Zero in Japan, it serves as a prequel to Street Fighter II and presents younger versions of several established fighters alongside characters from Final Fight and new rivals. Matches use one-on-one combat with six attack buttons, special moves, Super Combos, and the new Alpha Counter system. Its colorful anime-influenced presentation and faster, more aggressive mechanics gave the series a distinct identity. The game was well received for expanding Street Fighter's combat system while adding tactical depth, although some players found its initial roster smaller than Street Fighter II's.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
