Trivia

Many characters from Final Fight make cameo appearences in this game, three of which are playable: Sodom, Guy and Rolento. One of the characters is called Nash in Japan, but his name was changed to Charlie for the US version.

In Japan, the Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams games are called Street Fighter Zero and the Alpha Counters are called Zero Counters. An upgraded version of Street Fighter Alpha 2, called Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, was released in Japan and a few places in Asia. The game has extra moves that were only available in the US "Alpha 2" version, certain characters from Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition along with a special version of Sakura. This version also has a Survival Mode and a Dramatic Battle Mode that pits two players against a computer controlled opponent.

The character Evil Ryu comes from a Japanese Manga (comic book) based on Street Fighter Zero by Masahiko Nakahira, published in Gamest (a Japanese arcade-only video game magazine published by Shueisha that includes manga based on arcade games).
