"Street Fighter Zero 2" (“Street Fighter Alpha 2”), Original Release Japanese CAPCOM Promotional Poster 1996, Rare, B1 Size (c.71 × 103 cm)

Sale price $250.00

Street Fighter Zero 2 is widely regarded as one of the finest entries in CAPCOM’s legendary Street Fighter lineage—an iconic CPS‑2 era sequel that refined the Alpha/Zero formula and helped define competitive arcade fighting in the mid‑1990s.

This is an original Japanese B1 poster issued in 1996 by CAPCOM to promote Street Fighter Zero 2 (known internationally as Street Fighter Alpha 2). Posters of this kind were distributed in very limited numbers, typically to Japanese arcades/operators, and were never sold commercially. Today they’re considered some of the most desirable and hardest-to-find pieces of Street Fighter arcade history.

The artwork is a standout: a dramatic, painterly face‑off between Ryu and Akuma (Gouki)—with a haunting, translucent portrait of Sakura in the background—capturing the game’s intense “rivals” tone. The bottom strip features a vibrant character lineup with names including Zangief, Dhalsim, Sakura, Gouki, Rolento, Gen, Dan, and Vega, and the central ZERO 2 logo sits above the tagline: “AN EVOLUTION OF A FIGHTING GAME CLASSIC AND YET INNOVATING.” The bold CAPCOM masthead at the top and the ©CAPCOM CO., LTD. 1996 line at the bottom margin are key authenticity markers for this original release.

Street Fighter Zero 2 / Alpha 2 represents CAPCOM at peak 2D fighting-game craft. Released to arcades in 1996, it expanded the roster, sharpened animation and pacing, and introduced the now-famous Custom Combo system—pushing combo creativity and offensive expression to a new level. It’s also historically important for character legacy: Sakura makes her landmark debut here (one of the most popular new characters in the franchise), while Rolento and Gen add deep-cut CAPCOM flavor that fans still celebrate.
Artist note: while this specific poster is not individually signed, the Alpha/Zero era’s official promotional imagery is closely associated with CAPCOM’s celebrated 1990s in‑house illustration style and character design leadership (notably Akira “Akiman” Yasuda, widely credited with shaping the look and personality of the Alpha/Zero cast). This poster is a prime example of that high-impact, gallery-worthy CPS‑2 promotional art direction.

This poster presents very well overall with strong color and impact, but please note condition details: there is visible moisture staining / rippling along the upper margin (also apparent from the reverse), with associated waviness/handling wear consistent with age and storage. The reverse shows a noticeable stain at the top area (see back image). No major tears or writing are visible in the provided photos, and the artwork remains highly displayable—please review the additional imagery provided (front and back) for full transparency.

As with nearly all arcade promotional posters, print runs were very small compared to film posters, making survival rates extremely low.

It is not a reproduction or a reprint.
