About Street Fighter Alpha 3

Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the third game in the Street Fighter Alpha series. It features a complete gameplay overhaul with the addition of three selectable fighting styles, new stages, over seven new and returning characters and an exclusive soundtrack. The game's illustrations, select screens, soundtrack and sound effects all have a similar style to the Final Fight series, unlike the previous games.

Oh sure, another duel where a 1998 arcade fighter has to justify its ELO against modern juggernauts, truly riveting stuff every time this thread reloads itself…

    Oh sure, another duel where a 1998 arcade fighter has to justify its ELO against modern juggernauts, truly riveting stuff every time this thread reloads itself with the same fake outrage over rankings nobody controls anyway.

    Compared to what SoulCalibur V does with its cast, this one still feels tighter in the neutral game, less flashy sure, but the spacing rewards patience in a way the newer entry never quite bothered with.

    Para mí sigue siendo el mejor de la serie, y no me cansaré de repetirlo en cada duelo.

  4. Ibáñez5

    Sigue siendo de los mejores de la saga, para mí el más completo con diferencia.

    Same here, I picked mine up on a whim years ago and never regretted it since.

    La verdad es que estos duelos rara vez reflejan lo que la gente realmente juega.

    Replying to Mckenna_66

    ¿No creen que el sistema de estilos sigue siendo más profundo que en muchos juegos actuales?

    TurboBard2

    Face aux jeux de combat récents il paraît simple, mais la lisibilité des coups reste bien supérieure à ce qu'on retrouve ailleurs, j'ai vécu la même désillusion en y revenant après un jeu moderne.

    Ce jeu tient toujours grâce à son système de styles, qui change vraiment la manière d'aborder chaque combat. Ça mérite plus de reconnaissance que ce classement ne le montre.
