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.

Also all Shadaloo-ism characters recovers quicker than in A-ism.

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 love all of these characters, I wish Capcom released A3 Max instead if the arcade version. Luckily, A3 Max (the most complete version) isn't hard to emulate. I'd recommend PPSSPP for the emulator, Vimm's Vault for the rom. Pretty fun, plus it's relatively similar to the arcade version.

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.

The PS2 and PSP/VITA versions having so much content that's never been seen again is a real shame.

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

I did not realize Maki was that tall… I like her more now…

I hated Maki! She's not a Street Fighter! All Final Fight characters need to scrapped and disbanded and pretend it never happened! 😡

this video is art. Love the transitions between stages and characters during a special move. Love the exact timing to do a comparison between old and new frames moves for characters.

Still my absolute favorite street fighter. one of the only ones I could just replay all the time and would never get bored of. one thing that always caught my attention was how before they launch a super move (goes for alpha and alpha 2 as well) I loved that effect of the energy flowing in that specific range and even the sound effect was awesome.

7:44 as far as I know, despite being mentioned in the GBA manual as one of his Supers. I don't think it's possible to perform Yun x Yang duo Super when playing the GBA version due to limitations, it never works.

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.

I've only played alpha 3 max and didnt realise they were console exclusive until years later. Seems so strange to not have guile in the base roster of a street fighter game.

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. Guile and characters like T Hawk, Dee Jay, etc were added in to the console versions purely as fan service. @@thedragontactic

You start the video with the gigachad of Alpha 3 MAX (tied with Sakura, at least). BRAVO. Even though she has her fans (like me), Ingrid is truly underrated and deserves more love. I'm glad that she's still a part of the Street Fighter canon and watching the World Warriors while lurking around. :D

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.

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

I LOVED this vid!!Alpha 3 was a real favourite of mine and being reminded of all these cool unlockable characters was a awesome nostalgia trip.

@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.
