Fun Ass Game
I don't like Street Fighter but I like Karin so this is the best one.
I know that a lot of people prefer Alpha 2, but I absolutely loved the sheer amount of content in Alpha 3, even in the arcade version alone. I know that other versions have so much more to do in single player, but the -ISMs, dramatic battle and secret characters were more than enough to keep me entertained for a while. Really love the additions to the aesthetic and sound design as well, one of the best announcers in fighting game history.
O melhor street fighter? Não. O meu favorito? Sim. KINO
acho que e meu favorito da serie alpha que jogo bom
Alpha 3 is an really good game, no doubt about it, however, there's one glaring flaw that makes the overall experience weaker and Alpha 2.
Lets start off with the most notable feature, which is the presentation. I've already said in my previous reviews that I love the anime-esque art style (i don't really like anime either, so good job on achieving that SFA!), but other stuff like how much enthusiasm the announcer has (GO FOR IT, MAN!), how much personality these 2D sprites have and the music really make the experience.
The gameplay itself? Well, it's basically Alpha 2 all over again, which means it fucking fucks. Go read my Alpha 2 review to find out more.
So what's the glaring flaw? M-Bison. He is my least favourite final boss.. no, boss in any game. He is BRUTALLY unfair. I tried playing defense like everyone says to do, but then he does this unavoidable diving kick. I try playing offense, but then he does his super and takes half of my health. I try. I try. AND I FUCKING FAIL. Not only that, if you lose a match against him? Instant bad ending, no retries. Fuck you greedy ass motherfuckers at Capcom. For now I have it as Played, but I might finish it tomorrow once I regain my nerve. What's the point of playing a game if i'm not having fun?

I can appreciate the amount of content and care they put into this game but personally from a gameplay standpoint I like Alpha 2 more. Love the new themes for all the characters and overall presentation. The announcer is super iconic!
