The 10 Console Exclusive Characters of Street Fighter Alpha 3

[@otterdonnelly9959]

Capcom needs to stop playing and give everyone the DEFINITVE modern port of Alpha 3 MAX with all characters, bonuses, rollback, leaderboards, and cross play. Y’all really had this game stuck on PSP for 16 years and it should be able to be explored more. 😡 Then do the same with CvS2 and Alpha 2. Perfect ports with cross play this time. EDITED 1year later: Ok, Capcom you gave us Upper instead in CFC2…thank you. And yes, we would still buy an Alpha Anthology with every Alpha, and especially MAX, available with online capabilities, Dramatic/Reverse Dramatic battle, World Tour, Variable Battle, 100 Kumite. Might as well make a Violent Ken sprite and throw in for fun❤ thanks!

[@lonewolffang]

Yes! Somebody said it. This could have been in the fighting collection instead of Street Fighter 2 TurboTax. They had that in the anniversary version. Trying to get this game now is a pain and my PSP's disc drive went bad and digital download is the only option.

[@KenMasters.]

Especially CvS 1 & 2, all I want the designers to do is re-vamp all of the dated and recycled sprites on the Capcom side.

[@D3Vlicious]

Tournament scene stuck with the original arcade Alpha 3/Zero 3. Not even the arcade port of Double Upper on Naomi changed that, meaning that there's more than a few system changes, such as those with V-Ism that they didn't like.

I agree. (Just remove Yun from the game.) Tired of them doing these updated versions of the game and then throwing them on exclusive hardware.

It's worth mentioning that _Capcom Fighting All-Stars_ was cancelled and unreleased, and instead, Capcom made a _MUGEN_-style tag-team fighter called _"Capcom Fighting Jam",_ which was Ingrid's "official" debut. (She and the bosses were the only "solo" fighters in the game.) It's probably also worth mentioning that both Maki and Eagle were imported more-or-less directly from _Capcom vs. SNK 2: Match of the Millennium_ with only a few changes. (Not a tall order since "C-Groove" is basically the same as "A-Ism" (or "Z-Ism").) *Edit:* Apparently, Yun as well. Forgot he was in _CvS2._ (Thanks, MineBro56!)

[@Saruman38]

"It's probably also worth mentioning that both Maki and Eagle were imported more-or-less directly from Capcom vs. SNK 2: Match of the Millennium with only a few changes." Correct, and I don't understand why they didn't also include Kyosuke from Capcom VS SNK 2 (originally from Rival Schools). That would have made a lot of sense, especially since Rival Schools is supposed to take place in the same universe as Street Fighter.

[@dnmstarsi]

@@Saruman38 Probably because of time and space. It's easier said to put those guys in than done especially when you have to give him an ending, adjust his stats and so. And even then, it's probably not a vital inclusion in the eyes of the developers at the time.

For example, the Saturn version have the best Dramatic Battle Mode, and the Dreamcast version have the fun Saikyou Dojo Mode. So, it could be more interesting an Ultimate version of Alpha 3 than a port from the PSP version, who is a port of the Matching Service version of Dreamcast's Alpha 3, who is an updated version of the original Dreamcast's Alpha 3, who is a new build of the game combining the PS1 game with the original CPS-II version.

@@dnmstarsi Time to shine? A vs game almost nobody played and put in a version of Alpha 3 that came out nearly a decade after everyone moved on from Alpha 3 and succeeding Capcom games had released, on top of it being on a handheld, a platform that people don't really play fighters on due to the nature of the format, and said handheld being something people mostly used for retro emulation. A version most never played to this day or even know they're in the game. Yeah, they were given quite some shine time. Meanwhile Lucca was put in a main game while it was still being heavily supported and advertised. Situations are not comparable at all. Plus no one asked for Lucia while people asked for those two more, especially Eagle who is still getting requests. The only solace is SFV sucked so Lucia debuted in a bad game so it wouldn't have mattered much if Maki or Eagle got in anyway. If SF6 is good then them getting in would be a treat.

I've always wanted to play Alpha 3 Max, thanks for the tips. Such a shame it wasn't part of the AC collection.

Only downside is Alpha Max doesn't had online play.

[@MisterTwit]

Technically Balrog could be considered a console exclusive since the arcade version is missing a ton of moves

[@PeruvianPotato]

Oh that's why he sucked in 30th Anniversary

[@sdlock83]

Lol SFA3 Upper actually features two Balrogs!! Plain Balrog and EX Balrog, the latter being the arcade version of Balrog.

[@VOAN]

The arcade version of Balrog is a Shadaloo-ism Balrog. In the arcade and home versions you won't be able to pick any of the Shadaloo-ism characters unless you finish World Tour Mode or use a cheat device. Shadaloo-ism Balrog play similar to X-ism Balrog but had stronger supers, Shadaloo-ism Vega plays similar to V-ism Vega but could climb the cage just like A-ism Vega, Shadaloo-ism Sagat play similar to X-ism Sagat but also had his A-ism supers intact while Shadaloo-ism Bison plays similar to A-ism Bison but with a totally ultra powerful Psycho Crusher (which could damage 75% of opponent's health if hit) that use the entire bar over the weaker waterdown one in A-ism. Also all Shadaloo-ism characters recovers quicker than in A-ism.

[@drlight6677]

Balrog's Las Vegas stage was also console exclusive and not in the original arcade release (originally you fought him on the stage atop of the mountain way up in the sky). Karin had a night time version of Sakura's stage in the original arcade version and they added her boat stage for consoles for her own unique stage. And of course T-Hawk, Fei Long, Guile, and Dee Jay also had new stages, so that's 6 extra stages not in the arcade version

I don't understand why they've never released a "complete" version of Alpha 3 for modern platforms. They put so much effort into Eagle and Ingrid in particular, and they've just been relegated to obscurity. ;

[@VOAN]

Eagle and Ingrid were already way establish before they got included into Alpha 3. Eagle was in Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Ingrid came from Capcom Fighting Evolution and all their movesets and animations were pull from those games.

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

@@VOAN Did people use Eagle in CvS2? Maybe I just haven't watched enough play, but I don't remember seeing him in use much. It seems like the developers really took the time to make him stand out in Alpha 3 in comparison. Also, mentioning Fighting Evolution counts *against* Ingrid and you know it. You might as well be telling us about how SvC Athena is also in her own previous arcade game, which I love, but we both know it's about as equally respected as Fighting Evolution. Actually, I take that back, given the choice between Fighting Evolution or arcade Athena, I'm sure people like, Max, Woolie or Matt McMuscles would choose the latter. ;p

[@drlight6677]

MAX basically is the complete version of Alpha 3, but unfortunately being on a handheld meant it's multiplayer had to be ad-hoc multiplayer only (PSP network only). Capcom really really needs to bring SFA3 MAX to modern consoles while adding in local and online multiplayer, and also adding in a command list and input data display to training mode. Maybe add in some non-character specific Alpha 2 backgrounds too, namely the waterfall background (which was in Hyper Street Fighter Alpha) and the grassy thunderstorm stage.

[@EeleyeDD]

Kinda wish you also went over the fact that some of their sprites and moves were lifted from other games. Like Ingrid being pulled from Capcom Fighting Evolution and Eagle being pulled from CvS2

Guile Fei and Hawk sprites first appeared in Alpha 3 on the ps1 but those same sprites (for guile) were later used in cvs2, mvc2 and capcom fighting evolution, who they in turn pulled Ingrid from. Capcom was really really good about reusing sprites where applicable

[@drlight6677]

Capcom were wizards at creating a versatile arcade game engine that started with their CPS 1 and 2 systems and up through to the Naomi and Namco System 246 hardware that allowed for their beat'em ups and fighting games to basically use the same engine. You can just add more detailed spritework with each hardware upgrade since the game engine allows for easy programming and assimilation of new graphics, no need to have to start from scratch, especially when releasing a new game every 5-6 months or so lol.

The original SFA3 arcade release is also beyond broken with tons of bugs, including the crouch cancelling bug that V-ism players abuse to set up infinite juggles.

[@VOAN]

Yeap it was taken out due to the limitation of the GBA cartridge, that 8mb cart just couldn't hold anymore. Note that the PSP version was over 300mb. GBA was able to add 3 new extra characters among the rest from the Sega Dreamcast version whereas the PSP was able to add only one on top of the GBA ones. Let that sink in, GBA only had 8mb and was able to add more characters to the game than the PSP which had lots of space and was only able to add only one new character on top of the ones the GBA already had. They could had added more and choose not to.

[@gregwilliams4926]

This is part of the reason why I wanted this version over the arcade. Yes, I know, first time having arcade perfect ports. But Alpha 2 Gold, Alpha 3 Max and Darkstalkers Chronicles character additions are so much more cooler. Darkstalkers Chronicles is the only version that has every character not cut out. I play my GBA Alpha 3 copy more than Alpha 3 on SF Collection.

[@drlight6677]

It's not just the larger roster that makes MAX better though, and not even just the tons of extra modes either (the several versions of Dramatic Battle, plus Variable Battle, World Tour mode, soooooo much fun!), but it's that MAX is based on the Upper arcade revision of SFA3 (released as Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper), that removes the crouch cancel infinite juggle bug and nerfs V-ism's activation i-frames along with several other balance changes.

I don’t think enough people appreciate this games animation, I know Sf3 is the pinnacle of sprite animation, but this is very underrated and comes close if you ask me

[@drlight6677]

Marvel Super Heroes arcade (1995) is imo the absolute pinnacle of Capcom's sprite work. Capcom basically made the game look like George Perez's very best art running in a CPS2 fighting game. The crazy amount of beautiful animations and detail of each character and their attacks, and the incredible background art, just perfection.

[@sdlock83]

You know that saddest part is that the FGC will have you believe that the incomplete vanilla version of SFA is the definitive edition when in fact SFA Upper should be considered the definitive version. Vanilla SFA3 for the arcade was obviously incomplete due to the memory limitations of the CPS2--as demonstrated by Karin not even having her own stage, and Balrog, Juli, and Juni not even having win quotes or portraits. SFA3 Upper instated these missing contents. SFA3 Max, I don't consider to be definitive because the characters were just copied and pasted from CvS2 and Capcom Fighting Evolution. The sprite quality are clearly mismatched. And they have neither their own stages or even BGMs. It's time to recognize SFA3 Upper as the definitive version of SFA3. Capcom is just too lazy to port it to modern consoles, opting for LAZY emulation of the arcade ROMs instead. SFA3 deserves so much better than that.

[@jimson172]

Tournament players seem to prefer vanilla Alpha 3 to SFA3 Upper. It might be because SFA3U changed too much about how V-ISM works, or maybe it was just never that widely distributed so most people haven't encountered it in arcades, or by the time they did they had already moved onto other games. It's pretty similar to how SFA2 is held onto and revered as a tournament game even though SFA2 Gold was supposed to replace it.

[@skunthundler]

@@jimson172 Yeah, hardware really does determine these things. People probably would've played Gold if was an arcade revision. Being on console just doesn't cut it for those older games.

When you say "Upper", do you mean Saikyo Dojo? I mean I doubt you think the GBA game is the definitive one, but I want to be sure.

[@Scientist93]

Honestly, SFA3 MAX just has more content than any other version, so I honestly prefer it based on that alone. And hey, if it ever gets its long-deserved cross-platform + rollback netplay re-release, I'm sure the problematic sprites could be tweaked for the better!

[@drlight6677]

Shotos are iconic for SF, it'd be like complaining that Mortal Kombat games get too many ninjas. Regarding Maki, she's so much fun to play as in SFA3, I don't think she's quite as good as Guy because Guy's anti-airs are godly and his standing combo and standing normal grab where he knees his opponent both allow for various amazing follow-up juggles that do crazy damage, especially with his mid-air izuna drop special (and I'm talking versions of SFA3 that fixed the crouch cancel bug and accelerated character fall speed per descent... Dreamcast, Upper, GBA and MAX). Guy's lightkick tornado kick special also can be used to build super meter really fast and because it has such a short duration it's safe from afar without getting punished. I do absolutely love Maki's wall specials, that she has the wall bounce off into grab special that can't be blocked or tech'd, that she can do any level command grab super in A-ism, an air command grab that can't be tech'd, and that her standing combo chain can be linked into her tonfa beatdown super. She's a great Bushin character and a really nice variant of Guy's playstyle. @augusto9821

[@ShaneDouglas713]

FACTS I'd have all the console versions than the Arcade Versions...

[@drlight6677]

The original SFA3 arcade release is a broken, bug filled mess and is missing a ton of content. Balrog (Boxer) wasn't even finished and is missing a bunch of his moves, Balrog and Karin's Las Vegas and yacht stages weren't complete yet so they gave Balrog a generic mountainous sky stage and they made Karin's stage a nighttime version of Sakura's stage, the crouch cancelling bug is beyond abusable for V-ism players where they can set up infinite juggles, and there's other bugs involving character's sprites freezing under certain circumstances and some characters having abusable unblockable v-ism combos.

[@netogermano4483]

I always thought that those new sprites (new for alpha 3)from Ingrid, Maki, Eagle and Yun looked kinda weird because of the quality difference from the rest of the characters... 😅 And man... I miss thoae special intros so much... From SFA, SF3 and the Kof games of course.

[@GXSCChater]

Maki, Eagle, yun are ported from capcom vs SNK 2 sprites used as a foundation. That was there first appearance, what even crazier, there are the only characters with a quote for every other character in the game! (Thats a lot of damn win quotes!) I have this for GBA I dont know if they kept that in the PSP version along with ingrid.

[@VOAN]

@@GXSCChater Note that the GBA version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 was based on the Dreamcast and NAOMI version of Alpha 3 and Capcom vs. SNK 2 was also originally a NAOMI arcade game before it got the Dreamcast port. It's very easy for Capcom to code Eagle, Maki, and Yun into the GBA and PSP versions of SFA3 cause both use the NAOMI port of Alpha 3 as their prime source. This could not be done for the Saturn and PS1 versions cause both were based on the CPS-2 version of SFA3 instead.

[@tonywong8134]

Wish they would re-release the PSP version. The last home console version we got was a re-release of the DC version (which was based off the original PSX version) on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary. It did not include the 4 extra characters that was on the GBA (which added Maki, Eagle, and Yun) and PSP (which added Ingrid in addition to the GBA characters).

[@VOAN]

Arcade version was released in 1998, Dreamcast version was released in 1999, GBA in 2002 and PSP in 2006. You can see why the Dreamcast never got the extra characters from the handheld versions. It took Capcom 8 years from the time of the original arcade game to include 10 console exclusive characters to make it a complete roster. Maki, Yun, and Eagle were all pull from Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Ingrid was pull from Capcom Fighting Evolution. Kyosuke of Rival Schools from Capcom vs. SNK 2 who was suppose to also be pull never got into Alpha 3.

Street Fighter Alpha's universe (the series is called Street Fighter Zero in Japan) is that it was a 1989 fighting tournament that took place 2 years before Street Fighter II, that was the idea behind the Alpha series and why the series was called Alpha instead of SF3. It was supposed to show events in the Street Fighter universe in-between Street Fighter 1 and Street Fighter 2, hence why Charlie is in place of Guile.

Many people hate her for various reasons, even though she is fun to play. About her appearances, ironically Capcom keeps her in mind to this day (even to pull a skin of her and have her in the background of a stage) unlike other characters that might be more popular lol. At this point Ingrid is treated as a character for multiversal situations (Crossovers cof cof) like SFxT, Project x Zone 2,etc. You could say she is a SF character, but for how they have used her let's say she is a character that could be present in all Capcom's IPs if they want lol

[@carlosaugusto9821]

@AT Productions Because old SF fans have mental blocks about calling SFA and SF3 "anime". Well that already starts from ignoring the protagonist's magic powers launched with gestured copied from DBZ... Those people don't admit that Adon, Gen, Rose, Sakura, Karin, and a lot of the SF3 cast have a ton of anime inspiration. Hilariously the inspiration already starts from the new art style of SFA... but no, they refuse to admit it. Oro throws a Genki Dama in a blatant ripoff from DBZ - pure real martial arts influence... So SF has a long time relation with magic powers of different types like ki/chi, psycho power, telekinesis and teleporting... And there are already little girls who dont look like typical fighters... But for some reason this combination of magic + little girl is unacceptable.

[@GlitchanBlack]

@@KenMasters. "She isn't a street fighter at all." "We have enough school girls on the roster." Ingrid is a *_GOD_* that uses the sun's power to fight her enemies. Also, Street Fighter has enough crazy bullshit as is - I'd say Ingrid fits in just fine. "She is bland in story and character compared to Karin." M. Bison stealing Ingrid's power limiters (one of the discs on her head) resulting in her going after him is bland in story and character? FUCKING COPE, BRO.

The 2001 arcade release of Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper (in Japan the series is called Zero instead of Alpha, and the arcade PCB of Upper never got a Western release), it's the only Upper arcade version to exist and has the arcade content of the console versions but not the GBA or PSP versions as those came out in 2002 and 2006. Upper has Juni, Juli, T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Fei Long, Evil Ryu, and even Shin Akuma and Shin Bison as playable characters if you put in the proper inputs when highlighting Akuma and M Bison at the character select screen so you can easily 1CC the arcade game if you select those hidden characters. Balrog now has his Las Vegas stage which was added to the console versions and Karin also has her own boat stage which was also added to the console versions (in the original arcade version of Alpha/Zero3, Balrog's stage was the mountain ledge up in the sky and Karin's stage was a night version of Sakura's stage). It should be noted too that SFZ3 Upper was a major revision of Alpha 3, as it fixed the crouch cancel bug that allowed for ridiculous and sometimes infinite juggles, particularly with V-ism players, and it also nerfed V-ism's activation i-frames and made a few other balance changes to the isms and characters (also things like whiffing throws no longer builds meter and characters' falling speed accelerates each time they come back down from a juggle). The GBA and PSP versions are based on that Upper revision, with GBA gaining Eagle, Maki and Yun from Capcom vs SNK 2 and PSP then adding in Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, a game that no one remembers lol @@FieraDevilWings
