4: Street Fighter Alpha 3  

Posted by Solid Jack in

Ahh... I miss the Street Fighter Alpha era. It was just after the Street Fighter 2 era, and Capcom still do not want to produce Street Fighter 3 but the fans are getting restless for the wait after the millions of rehash of Street Fighter 2. So what does Capcom do? They proved to everyone that they cannot count to 3 and released an intermediate Street Fighter series known as Street Fighter Alpha.


Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the best in the Alpha series. It came out in 1998 and the home version received a whooping 30+ characters, the largest SF characters ensemble in any game. The gameplay was awesome, with different -isms to choose. It was nostalgic to see the entire Super Turbo cast back again.

And in the home version, there are a lot of other extra modes. Dramatic mode allows for some cooperative battle. World Tour mode is sort of a RPG. With all the extra modes, coupled with superb gameplay, no wonder SFA3 is considered the best Street Fighter by some. And fellow readers, that is why SFA3 is number 4 on the Top Fighting Games.

Bru, I agree with you on this one. I remembered playing this game using a PSone emulator on my PC. I managed to unlocked Guile & Evil Ryu by using Rolento on the World Tour mode. All this is possible by using his 7 hits special attack, boosted by the V-ism awesome super duper multi combo!

But, yeah, I can & will whoop yer butt if I use a keyboard to fight you in SF. But using the gamepad, will certainly not. :(

V-ism rocks!

Hohoho...John, is that a challenge I hear? :p
Bru, is v-ism the one that was like a "custom-combo" sort of thing?
What was the one with the 3 supers? I remembered X-ism only has 1 super. Is that right?

Yup, you got it right.
V-ism = custom combo, can do 2 Counters (will take 2 of your V-ism bars) My favourite!
X-ism = SF2 turbo style..1 Super Bar, longer Guard break meter, can't defend on mid-air though, defend+offence is High
A-ism/Z-ism = Normal 3 Supers, can defend mid air, can do 3 Counters.

Damn, I could write a faq abt SFA3 & publish this at Gamefaqs.com! hehehe!
