Rapaz mas o pau que eu tomei do Bison não tá escrito no gibi. O pior foi ter tomado game over na primeira run e descobrir da pior forma que não tem continue nessa luta. Admito, usei save state somente nessa. Cara, que jogaço, esse jogo é a versão definitiva dessa saga, que por si só é uma das sagas mais incríveis (se não a) dos street fighters e de todos jogos de luta. Jogaço. Um único ponto que realmente me incomodou e me fez gostar um pouco menos do game é o fato da CPU ser extremamente injusta (rolento e chun-li que o digam), e o lance da luta final não tem continue me deixou muito puto

Simplesmente o jogo de luta definitivo, que dispensa quaisquer comentários, a unanimidade porradeira hoje e sempre.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 é um daqueles clássicos que não há quem discorde da qualidade, seja pela fluidez da gameplay, beleza dos sprites, ou simplesmente a grande variedade de personagens que temos aqui.

O game é bem balanceado, tanto na questão da movimentação, que se não for perfeita, é algo bem próximo de ser, e também na constituição dos bonecos: não visualizo um que seja notoriamente pior que outro, a questão aqui é se saber usá-los da forma correta, qualquer personagem pode vir a ser uma apelação pura, o sistema tá ali, vai depender mesmo é do jogador.

O estilo da série alpha dispensa comentários também, eu sempre curti bastante esse traço, porém não é apenas isso que é digno de destaque, cito também as trilhas sonoras realmente muito boas que temos por aqui. No geral é um game bem rico artisticamente, pago pau mesmo.

A barra de dificuldade no modo arcade no geral é bem linear também, porém eu acho que ela vai de 0 a 100, começando bem fácil, e terminando como o inferno na terra, então tenha em mente de que não é um jogo fácil de se dominar, principalmente se for jogar com um personagem que não tenha as manhas e as estratagemas preparadas.



definitivamente a versão mais solida e ate com melhor modo historia
mas por alguma razão prefiro o alpha 2 gold
mas foi uma otima trilogia

not quite as good as previous alphas, but still good and strong entry into the series.

Hell yeah this is what it's about. This game is the best street fighter imo, it has good vibes, it has a great roster, sprites look good, it's just an overall good time for a casual sf fan like myself. I'm sure more hardcore players can rip this game apart but I am not one of those guys so yea. The saturn port especially goes hard, so play that version if you can. It's a great fighting game to play by yourself or with friends, what else can I say?

Possivelmente meu Street Fighter favorito e um dos meus jogos de luta favoritos também. Gosto muito dos gráficos da sub-série Alpha, o elenco é uma junção do ótimo SF Alpha 2 com o Street Fighter 2 clássico mais algumas adições muito bem vindas (como o Cody de Final Fight) e a gameplay como se podia esperar é excelente. Já fechei com Cody e Charlie Nash, 2 dos meus personagens favoritos da série e pretendo fechar com outros personagens queridos deste elenco maravilhoso.

EX 2 Plus'dan sonra sevdiğim bir oyun. Seri köklü. En iyisi 2. oyun.

That's enough! UNBEATABLE!

goated shitty game what else is there to say

i wish i had the same enthusiasm that the announcer for this game has

Owned the dreamcast version which was head over heels better than the PS version I also owned. Great visuals and fun gameplay.

I play this game everyday and do 30 Pushups after reach fight. That's 300 Pushups for the whole arcade mode.
Alternate Workout: Do 12 Squats after each match in survival mode. Thank me later

I don't think any run of games vibe harder than Capcom fighters from the 90s

The Alpha series is fun as hell, and this is no exception. Best cast in the sub series, a ton of weird and intricate tech while also being incredibly fun and easy to pick up. One of the greats for SF's histroy, easily.

aşırı eğlenceli oyun abi
animasyonları bile çok tatlıydı

I play this game with a buddy to mess around sometimes. It works pretty well for that.

So Capcom makes alpha in 1995. It's a fun little game. Alpha 2 comes out the next year and it is other worldly compared to the first, a giant leap in quality and a near perfect game. But this? This is different. This is in contention with the best fighting games ever made.

Is it as balanced as alpha 2? No. The ism system allows for some pretty wonky things, the guard break system is fine but I feel like many characters should switch their guard bar lengths.(For example Cody's guard bar is way too short for what he actually does In game. He's not one of the games super strong characters so I don't know why his guard bar is so miniscule compared to someone like Sodom)

But the gameplay is still solid and filled with alot of depth, (especially in certain matchups like Gen vs Zangief.) the soundtrack is excellent, in fact I'd argue some of the best songs in the franchise come from this game. The presentation is really what makes this game go the extra mile for me over alpha 2. There isn't a fighter I know of that presents itself as well as alpha three does for me.

Big bold lettering, an extremely gaudy character select screen, bright colors all around from the, characters to the health bars and super meters. To me this is the best street fighter ever made

Los videojuegos de pelea no son para nada lo mío
me aburrí en pocas horas.

i hope whoever keeps changing these box arts steps on a lego


GO FOR BROKE
This one, oh boy this one. Countless hours spent. I’ve rarely gone a week without playing this damned game at least a little bit. Street Fighter Alpha 3 to this day is still one of the most unique but also divisive entries in the entire series, and my opinion has changed on it like 800 times. It’s good? It’s GOAT? Favorite fighter of all time? Second favorite? IDK. But what I DO know is that this game is awesome, and that I haven’t shut up about this thing for over a year now. I feel it is finally time to just barf out why I love this game so much, I am so motivated to get this message out to the world.
Alpha 3 to me perfectly encapsulates what the Alpha series is all about. It’s absolutely SEEPING with energy and aesthetic. Greatest character select screen in existence maybe. Fonts of like 5 different sizes scrolling all over the top and bottom of this thing, you’d think it would be clunky and incomprehensible but nah, it works. I always loved the character portraits and how they line up with both the character select and versus screen, courtesy of my man BENGUS. And man the VERSUS SCREEN??? The way the text for your name and ism pops in is literally genius, who animated this? This is combined alongside one of the coolest transitions I’ve ever seen in a video game, with the shape of the “door” closing being based on whatever ism you picked (A/Z-ism, X-ism, V-ism), and it’s also just so satisfying to watch.
The UI and just general aesthetics of Alpha 2 have been completely overhauled here. All of these thick fonts and colors are simplistic but somehow also very detailed and intricate. For me, anyway, they scream 90’s COOL aesthetic. Your health and super meter bars change color (and shape) based on your ism, and just generally the amount of effort put into the differences of isms here are very commendable. Honestly on the topic of that, I should discuss the gameplay.
The gameplay in this one is sick. There are three different fighting styles you get to pick, first there’s X-ism, which is a giant Super Turbo homage which limits your moveset but gives you insane damage output. A-ism is essentially the mechanics introduced from the first Alpha game (and also the best for beginners), and V-ism is the custom combo shit from Alpha 2 now made into it’s own fighting style. This is great, and for casual play makes the game more fun and diverse. Competitively… Everyone just picks V-ism because of the juggle combos here. On the topic of combos, Alpha 3 is THE most juggle heavy entry in the entire series, disregarding the EX lineup. Even without V-ism, so many moves will just LAUNCH your opponents which gives you time to followup and increase that combo count, it’s so fun to mess with. Alpha 3 generally just encourages aggressive gameplay, and it’s accentuated by the guard crush feature. Essentially, now the game will punish you if you try to just block constantly, as the guard meter being emptied leaves you vulnerable for attack. Did I mention I love this game because it’s fast? Once you get those turbo settings on, the matches in this game are t-i-g-h-t and lightning fast, which makes good play super rewarding. It’s my absolute favorite aspect of the Alpha series.
Alpha 3’s roster only introduces like- four new characters, with the rest of the roster additions being veterans from previous games. That being said, 25 (28 if you include secret characters, 29 counting Shin Bison) in the vanilla roster is nothing to scoff at. What’s even better is that every character has a bio whenever you pick them (only game in the series to do this from what I remember), along with three scripted fights in the arcade ladder, each with dialogue to boot. But to get even CRAZIER, the revisions of this game had even more. PS1/Dreamcast/Saturn added SIX extra characters, as well as making the secret characters properly integrated into the game with their own campaigns and portrait art, the GBA version added THREE characters from Capcom Vs SNK 2, and the PSP version added ONE character from Capcom Trashy Evolution! Meaning that Alpha 3 went from 29 fighters to THIRTY NINE CHARACTERS. Insanity. Now, for the newcomers, were they good? Karin was a great addition to the roster, her fighting styles and combos are fun, AND she’s a fun rival for Sakura. R. Mika is great and fits the energy of Alpha 3, sadly she’s low tier in terms of playability. Juli and Juni are mainly Cammy clones, but they’re great for expanding the lore, and really help establish the pure EVIL M. Bison is in this series. This roster is just fantastical every time I think about it, and I've even started trying out more of the characters I'm not used to for fun! Maybe someday I'll even become a world warrior.
I have countless memories of fighting the boss, Shin Bison. I remember thinking this guy was like, the hardest thing ever, but once you understand the rules of this fight, it’s not nearly as difficult. That being said, he’s still super annoying. Try to jump in? Stand HK or air grab. Whiff? Punish by sweep. Aaaaand he’s teleported behind me hasn't he [gets thrown which does a ton of damage in this game for some reason]. Everyone brings up that STUPID super move, but honestly the AI is so predictable with this. If his meter is full and he does that air dive move, 90% guarantee he will do it. Just block. Everything else about this fight is more difficult anyway. In the arcade version specifically, getting a game over to this dude was painful, you’re locked into a bad ending and that’s it, no second chances, back to the beginning of the arcade ladder for you. It’s surprisingly punishing, but in the age of save states and the console versions removing this “feature”, it’s not too big of a deal.
The music is great, unsurprisingly. This game’s soundtrack goes for an entirely different vibe from the previous entries, and it fits the tone of Alpha 3 for me. The amount of electronic instruments and guitars are blood pumping and just get you ready to go crazy on your opponent. Brave Or Grave is honestly one of THE best final boss themes in fighting games period, and it gets you SO hyped to wipe the floor with Shin Bison fr fr. Honestly just listen to the music yourself, it’s worth the time.
I’ve played this game’s arcade mode like over 30 times at this point, it’s so addicting. I love this game, so many memories to share honestly. I’ve even considered buying a physical copy of EVERY version of this game (yes, including the Saturn one, I’m THAT insane). I love this game so much I literally have like probably 5 more paragraphs of things I could write about this game because it has SO MUCH POLISH and SO. MUCH. CONTENT. There are like- 10 or 15 extra modes in the console versions I could write about, almost all of which I have played just for the heck of it. I sat down and did the 100 kumite mode which is 100 FIGHTS BACK TO BACK and I did the entire thing which took me almost an hour. I actually can never tire of this game, it’s so special and unique to me. I couldn’t even think of a proper closer for this review because I want to just keep typing about it!!! Who knows, maybe I could write a third review that covers what stuff I missed!!! But in the end, can I recommend this game to anyone? Well…
“IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR SKILL… GO FOR IT, MAN!!!”

Fun characters and good gameplay. What more could you want from a street fighter game?

Sodom being a top tier is perhaps fighting gaming's most notorious gaslight.

damn good roster and one of my favorite announcers in any fighting game, used to be my favorite street fighter until i started playing usf4 again lol
