===== About SF2 Ken =====

===== About SFA2G =====
SFA2G is part of a 2-disc game collection called Street Fighter Collection, with the other games in the collection being SSF2 & SSF2T. Back then, I would imagine most people bought the collection for SSF2/SSF2T rather than SFA2G if they already had the original SFA2.
Additionally, the proper Arcade intro is in this game. The intro is not arcade perfect, but it's still a different world to the FMV disgrace found in the original PS1 SFA2. The Training Mode from SFA2 is removed for this version of the game, and instead replaced with Akuma Mode.
