Me playing Street Fighter Alpha 3

This game was released in 1998, with updated graphics and characters compared to Alpha 2, and a new fighting style system. When selecting a character, the player chooses not only his or her character, but the character's fighting style. The three styles to choose from are X-ISM, A-ISM, and V-ISM. The X-ISM style is similar to the system used in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which was called Super Street Fighter II X in Japan: each character has only one super combo move and it can only be executed at maximum power, and some newer game features, such as blocking in midair, are unavailable.

================================================

To compensate, X-ISM fighters deal more damage and take less damage.

=================================================

A-ISM is similar to the system used in the other Street Fighter Alpha games, with each character having multiple super combo moves and with most of them having three intensity levels.

================================================

Finally, V-ISM is the most flexible system, as players can make their own super combos by chaining attacks together. However, V-ISM fighters take more damage and deal less damage. There are other, more minor differences among the styles as well.

Alpha 3 reintroduced many characters from previous Street Fighter II games. The most notable absence (and indeed, the only one out of the eight World Warriors) was Guile, although he was available for use in the home versions, starting with the PlayStation version. The remaining "New Challengers" (Dee Jay, Fei Long, and T. Hawk) were also reintroduced for the home versions. Shin Akuma and Evil Ryu return from Alpha 2 in the console versions.

The most notorious new character in the game is Shin M. Bison. He is the final boss for every character in the game except himself and Evil Ryu. Fighting him in his normal form was not necessarily enough to appeal to a player who went through 10 stages (eight in the previous games) to face him, so he was made stronger, and given a new "Super Psycho Crusher". If he hit the player with this attack, it would take away about three-fourths of the character's health meter, just about killing them. Another new feature for Shin M. Bison was his -ISM type. He did not have A-ISM, V-ISM, or X-ISM, but instead a totally new -ISM called Shadowlaw-ISM by most fans, since it has the symbol of Shadowlaw in it. It was an -ISM that filled up quickly in comparison to the other 3 -ISMs. In the arcade and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology version of the game, if a player loses to Final Bison even once, the player is not allowed to continue. The player is shown an ending of M. Bison using the player's character to devastate a city. In arcade mode of the home versions other than in Alpha Anthology, however, the player may continue after losing to Shin M. Bison, but should the continue timer reach zero, a "bad" ending akin to the one mentioned above will be shown. There is a Final Battle mode in each home version, where the player can go right up to facing Shin M. Bison (or Ryu in M. Bison's case, or Shin Akuma in Evil Ryu's case). And should he lose in that mode, the player will automatically receive the "bad" ending, as in the arcade version.


SFA3 is considered by many fans to be the best Street Fighter game (to date), containing almost every character to date (excluding many Street Fighter III characters).
