Alpha was from a different time when the industry had a place for lots of different 2D fighting games, budgets were smaller, and arcades were alive. In this day and age, it doesn't make sense for them to have two separate street fighter lines. They only way I could see this happening is if they want to make Alpha as a portable line of the franchise and keep SFIV-V on consoles.
