Why do critics question the value of the Street Fighter Collection game selection?

Many reviewers felt Capcom chose poorly by including Super Street Fighter II over more beloved titles. Critics noted that Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold looked too similar to the original Alpha 2 while most prospective buyers already owned critically acclaimed conversions of Alpha 2 for both consoles.

Which console version of the Street Fighter Collection offers better controller feel?

The choice between platforms depended on whether players prioritized controller feel or visual fidelity due to graphical errors in the Saturn release.
