Street Fighter Alpha 3 Tricks and Combo Glitches by Xenozip

Another great video compilation of combos and V-ism glitches for Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3. There's lots of crazy stuff that i've never even knew about!

[@jpowers55]

This is the video that made me rethink how good this game really was.

[@GamerDeMeia]

Watched this 10 years ago. Like the video today.

[@offended323]

Come watch it again

[@MR_GAMERSZ35]

18 years ago damn

[@DiegoSilva-lc8pv]

This video is a classic i remember when i watch it for the first time. It was 2008, when i was 15 years now i'm 31 and I still love and play SFZ3

[@Mendosa666]

You know, seeing this video makes me think the V-ism was a real bad idea to put in the game..

[@JBalmoreS]

On it's own V-ism (custom/original combos) are fine but with Alpha 3 you have the guard crush, dizzy states and the crouch cancels, so no amount of damage scaling can help with those infinite combo factors.

[@RECHOOSENONE]

what about upper version or later version & Capcom fix it ?

[@drlight6677]

The Dreamcast, SF3Z Upper arcade revision, GBA and PSP versions fixed pretty much all of these bugs@@RECHOOSENONE

[@kevinbollers2]

damn!! Street fighter alpha 3!! i miss this game even still to this day its still the best street fighter game ever made

[@gblikesnikes]

With the release of SF30 Anniversary Collection. I had to dig deep into my favorites to find this video to get my combos right for Alpha 3. Thanks strider.

[@nuchikim]

Exactly why SFA3 is my fav fighter of all time

[@fighterfan]

Wow this expands the whole depth of the game to a great level!!!

[@gamegeezer6665]

Interesting combo video. It seems i gotta head back to training camp to practice these moves. Big thumbs up for the post, great vid.

[@Revz8bit]

that ender for that Chun-Li combo at 7:00 had me LOL :)

[@TheManAbove]

Very good video. I kind of got dizzy after seeing them do their V-Ism combos. THe way how broken this is almost reminds me of Street Fighter II: Rainbow Edition.

[@saved2play]

Yes. It was. That was one of the most impressive things I've seen in any SF game.

[@CeilingF4n]

The Juni and Karin tricks were the best. Really great video.

[@unixjpn]

THis is the best 2d fighting game, I bought this for ps1 the other day and very happy to have finally found a copy of the game at a store. kick ass game!

[@elvin1184]

I don't care what kind of bells and whistles capcom put on sf4 this is still the best SF game to me IMO. Sound is off the henges, great characters, and my personal favorite air blocking.

[@Kyokuji]

For the last time. You can't air recover out of variable combos (V-ISM stuff). Every hit of the VC counts as a counter-hit and because you're constantly cancelling stuff and avoiding the neutral position, they can't flip out unless you screw up the timing. Also, this is a combo/tricks video. It's just there to tell you things, not to show how good he is.

[@frogeater84]

chun-li combo at 6:48 is just awesome

[@SOLIDOLDSNAKE1]

@ColgateNacho Managing to land an infinite can be tough on this game considering a single hit knocks you out of your combo (and it's not as hard to do so as it seems). And the parry system overpowered alot of strategies, because the only thing that couldn't be parried were throws. So basically, parries took away everything that made street fighter, street fighter. It was now known as the unbalanced, parry fighter 3.

[@bobaryanmage]

Depends on your character and really how fast your fingers are, but you cant throw any random vism combo expecting to juggle them infinitly. there are specific moves on specific characters to do what you want

[@Shinsou77]

loved the combos with Juni and Karin

[@Xero15]

I'm curious, how does he manage to get a 1-hit automatic dizzy? Excellent vid Xenozip! And thanks to strider2k2 for hosting.

[@SOLIDOLDSNAKE1]

@ColgateNacho No, I'm talking about the 100% stun combo that completly kills her opponent. And then there are also the combos that take away half your health, the parry that destroys every strategy except random pokes and throws, the c.mk to super, etc.

[@AcidGlow]

nice. the grabs pick them off the floor like in Second Impact.

[@speier]

wow @ that Gen super finish punch glitch !! i had no idea that existed i'm going to go try it now.

[@cbmanica]

Shit, that last bit with the Roses reflecting the projectile back and forth was like watching the French Open!

[@jlk2100]

this is greatest combo/glitch video i've ever seen in my life

[@xOmniCloudx]

bbok12, you can do what garrethking99 said or go to random and keep doing it until he appears(works for Juni and Juli as well). If you beat Alpha 3 one time you unlock Alpha 3 Upper. You have to hold select while choosing Alpha 3 to access it. In Upper he's a standard character (as well as the rest of the console SFA3 characters absent in regular Alpha 3 in Anthology).

[@MURPHAGATOR]

When v-ism is activated you don't have to hold a charge to do charge moves. So, in this case, he just pushed back-forward, mp, back-forward, mp, ect.

[@vidfreak727]

V-Akuma is a demon! I just wish I knew how to do combos in SFA3. The V-ism that replaced Custom Combos from SFA2 completely threw me off (specially the fact that you now have to make your character move rather than the character moving forward on his/her own).

[@venomtang]

Also blanka and akuma etc. "unblockable combos" can be blocked by a alpha counter but make sure its the character and not a shadow! OR start a V-ism combo JUST before you get hit and their hit will bypass you. Dizzy bugs wont work if the cpu or opp. mashes the bottons. Lastly ryu's Shin-shoryuken at the end takes 1 third of that damage he just messed with the handicap. Amazing timing though

[@nitemaredude21]

@bartdude82 yeah your right. I grew playing mainly as Chun-Li, Cammy, and Ryu in street fighter. When Alpha 3 came out, I started to like playing as Cody, Guy, Rose, Sakura, Karin, Rolento, and Ken. So yeah I will be getting Street Fighter X Tekken because i did love Street Fighter 4 and Tekken Dark Resurrection. lol

[@zer0nix]

i forget what it's called (i call it the oni roll) but to do that move you have to quickly ROLL the stick from down to forward to up and press or release a punch. jab will send you a short distance, fierce will send you a greater distance. when you reach the opponent's head, keep the stick pressed left or right and press punch or kick to throw. pressing punch or kick before reaching the opponent will result in a launching air attack. it is not safe. press down and kick to do a slide kick.

[@phuturephunk]

Man, Rolento (about 8:30 in) is fucking devastating with that fierce punch. Demolishes life quick.

[@chaosgreyblood]

Is that from the same dude who did those insane combos with Guy? It definitely may be him, judging with the explanations and how he did them. A fave for me.

[@Odrax1]

Excellent video collection, I love SFA 3 and this compilation show me very most interesting things , thak you =)

[@abskebabs]

that is frickin amazing to watch. Makes me want to get out my old copy of alpha 3!

[@Moe598]

@5h4ggyDr34d I would assume it would to be exactly as it sounds: do a crouch after you do a jumping HK to the lessen the amount of frames in order to cancel into something else (like another jumping HK to continue the infinite combo). As the number of set ups shown in the video demonstrate, it's best to do it as a counter due to the invincibility frames you get activating V-ism making fireballs pass through and close physical attacks whiff.

[@200jared]

some freackin badass combos

[@SubZeroNATO]

I laughted my ass out by the part with two Roses devlecting thier fireball xDDDDDDD

[@KusogeMan]

the Vcombo rules are in a combo faq in gamefaqs and you will see why opponents r flippin.if you are not attacking they will be able to recover.also Vcombo enables OTG grabs

[@Q80Warlock]

Really great video, but only thing missing is BAS's V-ism Zangief's Atomic Suplex bug.

[@gblikesnikes]

Will be on PSN Network in a few days be on the look out. Als the may release the A3 SAKIO DOJO for XBOX ARCADE too.

[@MyselfAgain]

You start from Down+Back. That's how I do it. Though, I know on the early Street Fighter games, there was a glitch with the 360. You only needed to hit 6 of the directions to get it to work, yet for some reason the full 8 never worked. Try B, Db, D, Df, F, U, B and see if that'll work for ya.

[@UnkRCP]

I liked the Kara cancels with Zangi

[@Doct0rJay]

damn i used to think V-ism sucked...u guys r freakin good at this game.

[@unixjpn]

one of the best street figher games for ps1, , btw thats some nice otaku skillz

[@xxxxSylphxxxx]

Most of these are uncancellable combos. Even for the ones that aren't - furthermore, there are many infinite juggles that *only* work on opponents that flip.

[@SonOfSparda3]

@GoleDJ if you mean the ''X-ism'' thingy (I think), on the psp version it was MP+MK I'm sure.

[@strider2k2]

DjClayface is right...assuming you are on the receiving end of a Crouch-Cancel-Infinite, you cannot Tech Flip out of it, because your opponent is not in a "neutral state". It is important to realize that the game engine is coded & written to only allow Tech Flips when your opponent is in such a state. (However, it is very hard to exploit this in the game, anyway)

[@frajaos]

para mi la mejor version de street fighter hasta hoy!! ... the best street fighter version !

[@Mateoski97]

How do you do an Alpha Counter in Street Fighter Alpha 3? I can do it in Street Fighter Alpha 1 and 2, but not 3.

[@makyurial]

beat arcade or final battle with evil ryu, then hold select when selecting akuma, you should get shin akuma. do the same thing with anybody else, then hold select when you select bison, you should get a stronger version of him (the final boss version)

[@hopz2]

I did not know Juni was this good.

[@LordZast]

While blocking, press forward plus a punch and kick button of the same strength.

[@phoenixkusanagi]

Oh GOOD GOD. That's ridiculous....if I possessed even a FRACTION of this skill...man...I would so pwn Evo. Ah well. Mad props to the makers (and of course, the executioners of the combos) of this vid Long Live SRK!!!

[@spambryan17]

You on dope Capcom vs streetfighter hands down

[@H8erfisternator]

most informative video ever! much appreciated

[@TheHighPandaBear]

this is a good game, nice work man.

[@rocketgrunthyunho]

damn this is top tier combo right here

[@frikkinkiller]

Man i need to re-evaluate what iv done with my life.

[@gblikesnikes]

From one expert gamer to another Rose dose not have a V-ISM custom combo with A-ISM. The name of that move is Soul Illusion. And if you have Alpha 3 Page 20 of the manual you will see that it is her last move D,F,L,D,Digonal Down+K=Soul Illusion

[@drunkenmaster226]

I wonder how these moves would hold up with the Shadaloo-isms in Hyper Alpha.

[@Saturi]

Makes me wish this was online, very goood bro.

[@harryvpn1462]

Ahaha

[@orochidan]

this is fascinating stuff. imo alpha 3 is the best sf ever!!

[@KingOfDaSouth3000]

Obviously the charge fighting style is the best one to use. But what buttons do you push to start it?

[@theSomeguyatwork]

She charged the V-ism meter to one bar(50%) to do ChunLi's air stomp several times in a row.

[@ajm1984]

This is the best Street Fighter game of all time!

[@GreatUncleJulio]

You are simply, the best.

[@SleeplessSinger]

100% Agree I'm so jealous of Karin experts, Ken FTW!

[@chessyman1001]

Man,I have this game,but for the PS1.The disc still works up to this day because I tried it out.It's o.k just that they only show how to do the specials in the arcade mode when you select a character.They don't even tell you how to do the v-ism,a-ism, or x-ism!!Plus the control's were shit.For Zangief, you had to use the directional buttons!By the way I'm fifteen.Sorry for such a long comment.

[@mr.y.mysterious.video1]

birdie was one of the opponents from street fighter 1 - he looked a whole lot different though,

[@SOLIDOLDSNAKE1]

@ColgateNacho Don't get me wrong; I love the idea of the parry system. It's brilliant. But it was executed poorly. Projectile zoning has always been a big part of sf, and those without a projectile had other things (cammy's speed, for example). But parries destroyed that. FAs are a reworked version of them, and it's working fine so far. But back on the discussion, we both know 3S is unbalanced. And if you disagree that 3S wasn't as unbalanced as Alpha 3, then feel free.

[@Fudgaboutit]

These games looked so effin cool to me as a kid

[@GoleDJ]

hey it's really cool! but one question: how to make that shadow? please respond. Greetings and thanks

[@Garudanime]

lol, i was watching and had to laugh all of a sudden. i look at poor akuma, getting al beat up=D

[@decksteroussnail]

ST MODE UP IN HERE, MIND GAMES!

[@Rawskoh1031]

chun li rules. that part was the best :D

[@nitemaredude21]

@bartdude82 I second that. But It would be a great match up between Karin and Lili

[@sikbone]

oooh nice combo by akuma vs e honda

[@jazzytrumpet]

it look like you know somthing about alpha 3 so u mind if i ask how do u know how to preform that combo with akuma at the beginning were he command throws you off the ground ? i try to do it on street fighter anthology but iam not sure if its possible\ on there.

[@michelrpg]

most of these bugs were fixed in the PS2 remake though I think. The streetfighter collection I think?

[@franker86]

Marvelous friend

[@shattercross]

Alpha 3, in my opinion it's the most complete out of all the games.

[@RiderLAK]

After watching this, I've seen a whole load of new stuff. Now the one question in my mind is if this is more broken than the 2D Mortal Kombats or not, because that's amongst the most insane gaming I've seen in fighting games.

[@Knightimex]

you can sorta do the same combos on Capcom Vs SnK 2 Eo on gamecube. I miss that game.

[@OrlYarly11]

Sagat on V-ism is probably the second most broken XD

[@Nilseman]

Noob question, how do you block so your char gets white and you can counter? I guess you can call it a counterblock. I read somewhere that you just press forward? When the blow hits you only press forward?

[@bobaryanmage]

hell no guy is like one of the best players he has lot of 100% combos that can be used in real matches look up guy combos

[@nebbii]

Real ofcourse. I wish this was still in the arcades. :(

[@SOLIDOLDSNAKE1]

@ColgateNacho And 3rd strike has combos that kill you from full health. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if they didn't, y'know, kill you from full health.

[@DRCsyntax]

I'd say Third Strike is the best overall; mainly cause of the parry. It evens out the game more, no ultimate god characters. (V-Akuma and V-Sakura namely)

[@digitalmana8820]

Great video :)

[@gamesmaster35v2]

I marvel at people that can play Karin well.She seems like such a stiff character whenever I try her out.I can never get any decent combos out of her.So when I see people pull them off I'm simply amazed.Give me Ken's more fluid control any day of the week.Hell even Sakura is more easily controllable to me than Karin.

[@KFGSHFDGJDS]

no this move is called an alpha counter it doesn't happen often i haven't mastered it yet i don't use it u do it by when the movehit you you do forward down forward like a supermove and if u time it right like for ken he will block and do a shoryuken

[@pl225]

do you know if sfa3 is available on the psn? i've read that the psp version its on it, but im not sure about the ps3's... and i also read that that version has 34 characters...

[@MagnumBreak]

Do these combos and glitches apply to all the recent incarnations of this game?

[@wisemage0]

I used to have this for PS1 a loooooooong time ago! Theres so many characters from that game I feel like I've never seen before, like who's Birdie?? fruity name.. The only alpha character that I always remembered was Cody, I thought he was sooooo cooool cuz he was from jail and fought with his arms stuck together! But I never used him cuz i couldnt find him. (I was 5 BTW) My main characters were Dhalsim, Zangief, and Ryu. I got the furthest with Ryu but I dont think I ever beat the game...

[@noorfortune9186]

How do you crouch cancels i have been trying to do this for a while still not able to do it.

[@zombiemouse]

6:49 O.O OMFG I miss this game.

[@DjClayface]

thats the thing she attempted to do the inf, its not easy, you have to land and crouch, then jump again, without ever being in a neutral state(standing animation),the guy fucked up, so his opponent had that window to tech flip, but my point is you cannot tech flip out of the crouch cancel inf, if done right.
