Street Fighter Alpha 3, known as Street Fighter Zero 3 Saikyou-ryuu Doujou (ストリートファイターZERO 3 サイキョー流道場) in Japan, is a 1998 fighting game by Capcom, originally released for the Capcom CPS-2 arcade hardware. It is the third game in the Street Fighter Alpha series, following Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams and Street Fighter Alpha 2.
A revised edition, Street Fighter Zero 3 Saikyou-ryuu Doujou for Matching Service, was released as a mail order title via Dreamcast Direct in Japan in 2001. This version adds an online multiplayer mode.
The subtitle "Saikyou-ryuu Doujou" is a joking reference to the character Dan Hibiki's martial arts school.

Story
The megalomaniacal dictator M. Bison, leader of the crime syndicate Shadaloo, has infused his body with a dark energy called Psycho Power in order to dominate the world and rule over mankind. His insatiable thirst for power has weakened his body, so he has ordered his scientists to transfer his mind into the body of Cammy, a genetically engineered assassin created using his own DNA as a template. However, Cammy has developed self-awareness and gone rogue, so Bison instead turns his sights to Ryu, one of the strongest fighters in the world and the personal nemesis of his right-hand man Sagat.
Shadaloo scientists have also created a diabolical machine called the Psycho Drive, whose purpose is to channel psychic energies to Bison. The Psycho Drive can be used as an ultimate weapon to shoots beams of deadly psychic energy anywhere in the world, and it can also be used to regenerate Bison and make him essentially invincible. The evil energy emitted by the Psycho Drive and the encroaching threat of Shadaloo has drawn a diverse group of warriors into each other's paths.
Like the previous Alpha games, the story serves as a prelude to the events of Street Fighter II, but it presents a more focused narrative rather than the sparingly interconnected story threads of the earlier games. The story takes inspiration from the 1994 anime Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie.
Gameplay
Character select
Gameplay
The gameplay system from the previous Alpha games was given a complete overhaul with the addition of three selectable fighting styles known as "Isms" (X-ism, A-ism, and V-ism), a greatly expanded roster of characters, and for the first time since Street Fighter II, new theme music for all of the returning characters.
The controls for some actions has been modified from previous games. The level of a Super Combo move in A-ism is now determined by the strength of the attack button pressed (for example, medium punch or kick for a level 2 Super Combo), rather than the number of buttons pushed. The button combinations for throwing, ground recoveries, and Alpha Counters have also been changed. Several new mechanics have been added, such as air recoveries, Counter Hits, and the Guard Power gauge.
Characters move with 
and 
and crouch with 
. They jump with 
and flip back and forth with 
and 
. Punches are done with 
(jab), 
(medium), and 
(fierce). Kicks are done with 
(short), 
(medium), and 
(roundhouse). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Characters have a wide selection of attacks depending on which button is used and whether they are standing away from the opponent, standing near the opponent (proximity normals), crouching, jumping forwards or backwards, or jumping neutral. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Interrupting an opponent's attack with another attack performs a Counter Hit, which does additional damage (and knocks the opponent back if the counter attack is a hard punch or kick). Fireballs have been significantly weakened and now do less damage when they travel a longer distance. Characters can perform a taunt once per round with HOLD START (except in X-ism), which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.
Throws and grabs are done by holding or when near an opponent and pressing two punch or two kick buttons simultaneously. The character can "whiff" a grab by attempting it outside of range, leaving the character vulnerable to counterattack. Different characters have different throws available to them, and characters can throw in midair as well. Grapple moves cannot be blocked (including special moves involving grappling), but a player can reduce the damage taken from a fall by likewise holding or and pressing two punch or two kick buttons simultaneously. In A-ism and V-ism, after being hit or blocking in the air, it is possible to roll toward the opponent after landing by pressing two kick buttons simultaneously. After being knocked into the air from the ground, characters can recover by pressing two punch buttons simultaneously (optionally paired with or to flip out of the way).
Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. Characters can block while standing, which blocks against high and mid attacks but not low attacks (such as sweeps), or crouching, which blocks against mid and low attacks but not high attacks (such as jumping attacks and overhead strikes). Blocking can also be done in midair (except in X-ism), but characters cannot air block against normal attacks from an opponent that is standing on the ground and cannot air block after performing an attack in the air. Special moves still do a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. The game introduces a Guard Power gauge that depletes each time the character blocks. The gauge starts to replenish after not blocking for a moment. If the gauge is completely depleted, then the character is vulnerable to attacks and cannot block. When broken, the bar shrinks, and it is refilled to its new maximum. It can be shrunk a number of times. The initial size of the Guard Power gauge varies depending on the Ism and the character being played. The Guard Power gauge does not exist in the Survival and Dramatic Battle modes. Blocking an attack right when it is about to hit rather than in advance reduces the amount of Guard Power lost (the character flashes blue when this is successful). Characters can also reduce damage taken by pressing any direction and an attack button simultaneously when being hit (the character flashes red when this is successful). In A-ism and V-ism, characters can perform Alpha Counters (Zero Counter in the Japanese release), special counterattacks that interrupt the opponent's attack while blocking at the expense of some of the Super Combo gauge. Each character has a different Alpha Counter for each Ism.
Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way.
Characters have a Super Combo gauge (or an Custom Combo gauge in V-ism) that fills as the character performs regular and special techniques or takes damage. The Super Combo gauge is used in different ways depending on which Ism is being played. The Super Combo gauge carries over between rounds (but not between battles). Each character starts the match with a fully filled gauge (though this can be changed to empty in the options).
Fighting styles
After choosing a character, the player is asked to choose a Mode and an Ism. Both choices affect how the character is played.
Modes
The Modes are unique to the Dreamcast version of the game. Players choose a Mode in every game mode except Dramatic Battle and Vs Dramatic Battle. Modes modify the difficulty of the game in ways that are independent of the Ism chosen.
| Normal | |
|---|---|
| The character plays as he or she normally does in the arcade release of the game. | |
| Mazi | |
| The damage done by the character is significantly increased, but the character also takes double damage from any attack. While the player must still win the best of three rounds to win, the opponent only needs to win one round to defeat the player. | |
| Saikyo | |
| The damage done by the character is slightly decreased, the character is easier to stun, and the Guard Power gauge is drastically shortened. Normal moves cannot be canceled into special moves or Super Combos, lessening combo potential. | |
| Classic | |
| The player must play in X-ism (skipping the Ism selection). The character has the increased damage of X-ism but also its constraints (for example, no air blocking, recoveries, or Alpha Counters). Furthermore, the character has no Super Combo gauge (and thus cannot perform Super Combos) but also no Guard Power gauge (so blocking can be done without restriction). |
Isms
After selecting a Mode, the player is presented with the choice of three fighting styles, called "Isms." Characters often have slightly different normal and special moves depending on the chosen Ism. Some special moves are performed with different button combinations. Characters have different color schemes depending on the selected Ism (and Chun-Li and Sodom have unique sprites when played in X-ism).
Boss characters such as Juli, Juni, and Final Bison use a special "Shadaloo-ism" when fought, which gives them access to special moves unavailable in standard play.
Additional Isms called "Ism-Pluses" can be unlocked in the World Tour mode.
| X-ism | |
|---|---|
| X-ism is a simple style based on Super Street Fighter II Turbo. X-ism has the highest attack power but least defense. All attacks do more damage, and characters have single-level Super Combo gauges with access to a single but powerful Super Combo move (equivalent to the level 3 move in A-ism). However, characters cannot air block, perform ground recovery rolls or air recoveries, reduce damage taken from hits or blocks, or use Alpha Counters. They also take slightly more damage from attacks, though the Guard Power gauge is longer so they can block more. Characters also cannot taunt in this style, with the exception of Dan. | |
| A-ism | |
| A-ism (Z-ism in the Japanese release) is the standard playing style, based on the previous Alpha games. Characters have three-level Super Combo gauges with access to multiple Super Combo moves. Characters have access to air blocking, ground and air recoveries, and Alpha Counters. Performing a Alpha Counter costs one level of the Super Combo gauge and one notch of the Guard Power gauge. Damage done per hit is average (in between the other two styles).
Each Super Combo technique has three levels, chosen based on the strength of the punch or kick button used to execute the move. Some Super Combos can only be performed at max level. The Super Combo gauge recharges faster than in X-ism, and characters have access to every Super Combo move in A-ism but one (Dhalsim's Yoga Tempest is exclusive to X-ism). | |
| V-ism | |
| V-ism (for "variable" style) is a unique style that allows the player to perform Custom Combos (Original Combos in the Japanese release), similar to Street Fighter Alpha 2. Characters have a single-level Custom Combo gauge and cannot perform Super Combo techniques in this style. Proximity normals are only available by holding away from the opponent while pressing a punch or kick button, which gives the player more control over which attacks are used. Characters have access to air blocking, ground and air recoveries, and Alpha Counters. Performing a Alpha Counter costs half of the Custom Combo gauge and one notch of the Guard Power gauge. Damage done per hit is the lowest of the three styles.
Custom Combos can be started by pressing a punch and kick button of the same strength simultaneously when the gauge is at least half full. This causes the character to move more quickly and attack with much less recovery time, making it easier to chain moves together. There is a moment of invulnerability after initiating an Custom Combo. The Custom Combo gauge drains while it is active, and the combo ends when the gauge is empty or if the character is hit out of it. The Custom Combo gauge recharges quickly, faster than in the other styles. Characters cannot block while performing an Custom Combo, but unlike the previous game, they can move backwards. Charge moves can be performed without charging (for example, the player only needs to press |
Modes
Survival Mode, 10 Battle
Dramatic Battle
The game has multiple modes:
- Arcade Mode: The single-player mode consists of ten matches against computer-controlled opponents, mostly against randomly chosen characters with random Isms. The fifth and ninth battles are against predetermined opponents depending on the character being played, and they are preceded by brief dialogue scenes between the two characters, similar to the rival battles of the previous Alpha games. The final battle is also against a predetermined opponent, which is Final Bison for almost every character (except the hidden character Evil Ryu, who faces Shin Akuma, and Bison himself, who faces Ryu). The final battle is sometimes preceded by a fight against the Shadaloo enforcer Balrog or a two-on-one fight against the Shadaloo Dolls Juli & Juni. The game can be continued an unlimited number of times, though changing to a different character when continuing starts the player back at the first opponent. A second player can join the game to challenge the other player to a fight by pressing START , with the victor continuing in the tournament. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents and two game speeds.
- Vs Mode: A dedicated two-player mode. Players choose a character, a Mode, an Ism, a handicap, the game speed, and a stage. The stage is chosen based on the first player's character. The game keeps track of wins and finishers for each player.
- Team Battle: A two-player mode where each player selects up to three characters and plays a single match against each other. The first round pits each player's first character against each other. The winner continues with the same character in the next round, while the loser loses their first character and continues the fight with their second. The match ends when one player has lost both of their characters.
- Training Mode: A single-player mode where the player can practice playing a character against a non-hostile opponent. Both characters have vitality and Super Combo gauges that stay fully replenished. The player can select some options with START , such as whether the opponent blocks attacks or whether the opponent stands, blocks, jumps or whether the opponent is passive, controlled by the computer, or controlled manually (using a second control pad). This menu can also enable attack data, showing the damage and the combos done.
- World Tour: A single-player mode where the player chooses a character and travels to five different locations around the world: Asia, U.S.S.R., Europe, Africa, and America. Each contains several stages, each consisting of one to three battles, which must all be completed in one attempt (or the player must try again from the beginning of the stage). Completing the challenges in all five areas unlocks Akuma's home island, Gokuentou, where a final series of boss fights awaits. There are various battle types with different rules, such as battles where opponents can only be damaged with combos or throws, two-on-one Dramatic Battles, and battles where the player faces multiple foes one at a time on the same vitality bar. The player earns experience for the selected character and Ism whenever a stage is completed, which increases the level of the character (up to level 32) and the character's statistics (normal and special move attack power, Super Combo attack power, defense, Super Combo gauge replenish rate, and stamina). In each area, the player can earn additional Isms called "Ism-Pluses," which provide unique bonuses such as increasing the rate at which the player's Super Combo gauge replenishes, preventing the character from ever being stunned, or allowing the character to perform Custom Combos outside of V-ism. Characters created in World Tour mode can saved to Entry Slots for use in the other game modes. Only six Ism-Pluses can be earned, but they are always active, allowing the player to create a custom style called an "I-Ism." The player can strategize which areas to visit first to decide which Ism-Pluses to obtain.
- Survival Mode: A single-player mode where the player chooses any character and fights a series of opponents in one-round matches. The character's vitality gauge is restored by a certain amount after each match depending on the player's performance: time remaining, vitality remaining, the biggest combo performed, and the finisher used (with Super Combo or Custom Combo finishes awarding the most health). The player only has one chance to succeed; the game ends and cannot be continued if the player loses a match. There are multiple courses available. Three of the courses are against single opponents: Arcade (against all of the characters from the original arcade game), Original (against every character in the home version), and Boss (against Balrog, Vega, Sagat, Juli & Juni, Akuma, Final Bison, Evil Ryu, and Shin Akuma). The remaining courses are against multiple opponents per match, with one or two in battle at a time and the others entering the match when another is defeated: 10 Battle, 20 Battle, 30 Battle, 50 Battle, and ∞ Battle (which determines the number of total opponents fought). The game keeps track of the best playthroughs for each course (determined by completion time and score). There are no Guard Power gauges in this mode, so characters have unlimited blocking.
- Dramatic Battle: A two-on-one fighting mode that can be played by one player or by two players (if the second player presses START on the character select screen). In single-player games, each character is assigned a predetermined partner (for example, Guy is partnered with Cody, and Juli is partnered with Juni). In two-player games, each player can choose any character. Players face six boss characters, ending with Final Bison, in two-on-one fights, with all characters present simultaneously. Characters have separate vitality and Super Combo gauges, and the computer controls the partner character in one-player games. Matches are played to the best of three rounds, and a round is only lost if both characters are defeated. There are no Guard Power gauges in this mode, so characters have unlimited blocking.
- Vs Dramatic Battle: A two-on-one fighting mode that can be played by three players simultaneously. Player can choose any character and any stage. The solo player can set the Super Combo gauge to normal or "plus" (which replenishes much faster) and guarding to normal or reflect (auto-blocking) and also has the option of a handicap to even the odds.
- Final Battle: A single-player mode where the player can choose any character and skip straight to the final battle (which is against Final Bison for most characters and not including the fights against Balrog or Juli & Juni when applicable). The match is not preceded by dialogue as it would be in the Arcade Mode, but the player is rewarded with the character's ending if the battle is won. Like the final battle in the original arcade version, the game cannot be continued if the player loses; instead, the game ends with a bad ending where Bison succeeds in taking over the world (or with Ryu's good ending when playing as Bison).
- Network: The game had a special "Saikyou Doujou" mode where the player could upload World Tour mode I-Ism characters and download master characters to compete against locally. The Matching Service version also contains an online versus mode.
Records, including high scores and the player's progress in the World Tour mode are saved to a VMU.

Playable
All 21 characters from Street Fighter Alpha 2 return (including Cammy from Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and the hidden characters Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma). E. Honda, Blanka, Balrog, Vega, Fei Long, Dee Jay, T. Hawk, and Guile return from Super Street Fighter II, completing the roster from that series, and Cody returns from Final Fight. The characters Karin, R. Mika, and the Shadaloo "Dolls," Juli & Juni, debut in this game.
Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma, Dee Jay, Fei Long, T. Hawk, and Guile were all exclusive to the console releases of the game. Additionally, Balrog, Juli, and Juni, who were playable in the arcade version but had no storylines, have been made part of the default roster and given individual stories and endings.

History
Sequels and re-releases
The game was later remade for Sega NAOMI GD-ROM arcade hardware as Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper.
Versions
This Dreamcast release is based on the earlier the PlayStation port of the game but with enhancements such as restoring most of the animations that had to be cut for the PlayStation release. As such, it retains the additional features of the PlayStation version, including the extra modes and characters that were absent from the arcade release, though almost all of them are accessible by default rather than requiring the player to unlock them. In the PlayStation version, the Dramatic and Final Battle modes must be unlocked by completing the Arcade Mode on its maximum difficulty setting, and the Team Battle and Survival modes must be unlocked by completing the World Tour mode. Similarly, Guile, Evil Ryu, and Shin Akuma (with a simple button combination) are selectable by default in the Dreamcast version but must be unlocked through the World Tour mode in the PlayStation version. Only Final Bison must be unlocked in the Dreamcast version (by completing the Arcade Mode on its maximum difficulty setting).
The Dreamcast version adds additional fighting styles called "Modes," separate from the Ism system: Normal, Mazi, Saikyou, and Classic. These new styles generally handicap the character to increase the challenge. Also unique to the Dreamcast version are a three-player Vs Dramatic Battle mode and a reworked World Tour mode. The Dreamcast version's World Tour mode differs from the PlayStation and Saturn versions in that the player can only earn six Ism-Pluses but can have all six active at the same time (creating a custom style called an "I-Ism"). The character also has five attributes (Attack, Defense, Super Combo, Gauge, and Stamina) rather than only two, and there are different types of battles and some different Ism-Pluses.
The Dreamcast version also contains an online mode that allows players to display their high scores and a "Saikyo Dojo" mode that allows the player to fight a World Tour mode character against a downloadable "master" character. The Japanese-exclusive Matching Service version adds an online versus mode.
