Street Fighter Alpha 2 is notorious for having dominant Alpha Counters. This video provides practical (and impractical) examples for dealing with them with every character.
highlights:
SFZ2A Rolento vs Charlie at 0:29, SFA2 Zangief vs Birdie at 1:11, SFA2 Rose vs Zangief at 1:18, SFZ2A Charlie vs Rolento at 1:29, SFZ2A Rolento vs Ken at 1:45, SFZ2A Dan vs Zangief at 1:49, SFA2 Dhalsim vs Birdie at 1:57, and SFZ2A Guy vs Rose at 2:11
notes:
Obviously these aren’t true reversals in the technical sense, but everyone agreed a long time ago that the phrase “Alpha Counter counters” sounds dumb.

I love the vid, but how come it’s ok for them to use 2 level 2 supers in the Gen vs Sakura combo at 0:52?
Yeah i caught that too. I’m pretty sure it was an accident. Transcript says:
“I made an stupid mistake in the video, i was testing some stuff with the infinite gauges cheat and i captured some AC Reversals with infiinte gauges, sorry for that!”
Yes, it was done by accident, i was fooling around testing some stuff in with the emulator set in “training mode” with infinite gauges and i forgot to turn off the cheat when i started the combo captures.
