I like it better than Alpha 3 personally. Lots of fighting styles to choose from, a great cast of characters, and just great gameplay. Also lots of improvements over the already great first Capcom VS SNK. For example, in the first one, some kof characters (like kyo) didnt play very well, but in cap vs snk2 they play like they should. If you choose an SNK fighting style you can now run, like in KOF. And the ratio-system is improved (you can select which character is the strongest), while there's also an option to just play 3 vs 3, kof-style.
