Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (ストリートファイターIII サードストライク), alternatively spelled Street Fighter III: Third Strike, is a one-on-one fighting game released for the arcades by Capcom in 1999. It was the third installment of the Street Fighter III sub-series and ran on the same CPS-3 arcade board as the first two entries. In 2000, Capcom released a standalone port of 3rd Strike for the Sega Dreamcast (following Street Fighter III: Double Impact, a compilation of the first two games).

Story

Years after the second World Warrior Tournament and the fall of Shaladoo, a third World Warrior Tournament is being held by a mysterious "secret society" called the Illuminati.

Character select

Gameplay

3rd Strike was the third and final release in the Street Fighter III series of fighting games. Four new characters were added (Makoto, Q, Remy, and Twelve), Akuma was made a regular character, and Chun-Li was brought back from Street Fighter II. All returning characters received new moves, stages, and endings. The behaviors of existing moves (such reach, strength, and speed) were modified to improve the balance of the game. Throws and universal overheads are now performed by pressing a punch and kick of the same strength simultaneously, like Personal Actions. The series-unique parry maneuver can now also be performed while guarding, called a "guard parry" or a "red parry" (for its red flashing effect). This allows characters to parry an attack that hits multiple times even after blocking one or more hits. All music and sound effects were changed (including character voice lines and the announcer). The game also introduces a grading system in which the victorious player of a match is graded afterwards on offense, defense, techniques, and extra points.

Characters move with and and crouch with . They dash with or . They jump with and flip back and forth with and . Characters can perform a high jump with (which varies in height depending on the character). Each character has a set of normal attacks with differing properties such as speed or range. Punches are performed with (jab), (medium), and (fierce), while kicks are performed with (short), (medium), and (roundhouse). Light attacks start up and recover faster and have a higher likelihood of connecting to an opponent. Hard attacks deal more damage but have lower attack priority and leave the character vulnerable for longer while the move starts up and recovers. Characters can additionally perform unique special moves using particular button combinations. Characters can perform a Personal Action by pressing the hard punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+). Personal Actions are similar to taunts but with unique effects for each character.

Throws and grabs are done by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+) when next to an opponent. This can optionally be paired with or to throw in a particular direction. 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 some characters can throw in midair. Throws cannot be blocked, but characters can recover for reduced damage by performing the same inputs as a throw immediately after being thrown. Characters can recover more quickly after being knocked down (from a throw or other attack) by pressing upon landing on the ground.

Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, which negates incoming damage. Special moves and Super Arts still do a small amount of tick damage when guarded. Characters can guard while standing or crouching, but not while jumping (unlike the Street Fighter Alpha games). Some attacks can only be guarded while crouching (such as sweeps) or while standing (such as jumping attacks and overhead strikes). Every character has a leap attack, performed by pressing the medium punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+), which can hit characters who are guarding while crouched. Characters have visible stun meters under their vitality meters that fill as they take repeated attacks (and empty as they avoid attacks). If the meter fills, the character becomes stunned and vulnerable to attack for a moment. Players can recover from stuns and escape grabs more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons.

Characters can parry incoming attacks by pressing the D-Pad toward the opponent to parry a standing or a jumping attack or pressing to parry a crouching attack. Parries can be done in midair by pressing the D-Pad toward the opponent (regardless of the type of attack that is being parried). If executed at the exact moment that the attack is about to hit the character, the character flashes blue and averts the incoming attack; however, if the timing is wrong, the character is instead hit by the attack. Since performing a parry requires foregoing the option to guard because of the mutually exclusive controls, it is considered a high risk maneuver. However, the parrying character recovers much more quickly than attacking character, creating an opening for a counterattack. Parrying can be used against normal and special moves as well as some Super Arts, but not against throws or grabs. Parries can be done while guarding an attack, in which case the character flashes red, which allows it to interrupt attacks that hit multiple times or combos. However, the window for executing a guard parry is much shorter, so the timing required is more precise.

As in previous games, characters have a Super meter that fills as they perform normal moves (except for light attacks), special moves (including Personal Actions), and parries. Attacks that are parried by the opponent do not build the meter. After selecting a character, the player can choose from one of three "Super Arts," which are super moves that can be performed once the Super meter is full. Only one Super Art can be chosen at a time, and the choice is permanent until the game ends. The length of the Super meter as well as the number of levels varies depending on the Super Art chosen, but every Super Art only costs one level of meter to perform (and there is only one level of strength for each Super Art, regardless of the strength of the button used to execute it). Generally, more powerful Super Arts require filling a longer meter while less powerful Super Arts have a shorter meter and allow the player to store multiple levels so that the move can be performed more. Normal and special moves can be canceled into Super Arts for combination attacks. Super meter power is carried over between rounds but not between matches.

Characters can also perform slightly more powerful versions of their special moves called EX Specials, which are similar to the ES moves introduced in Darkstalkers. These moves are performed by inputting the command for the special move and pressing two attack buttons of the same type (such as two punch buttons) instead of one. Using an EX Special costs a portion of the Super meter, depending on the move performed.

If a match goes three rounds without a victor (because of a draw or a double knockout), rather than continuing to a fourth round, three "Judgment Girls," female judges with different designs, walk out and decide the winner (based on unknown criteria).

Modes

The game contains the following modes:

Arcade: A single-player mode where the player ten opponents, which includes a character-specific rival as the penultimate opponent and Gill as the final boss for each of the characters except for Gill himself (whose final boss is Alex). With the exception of these predetermined fights, the player is given a choice of two opponents to face before each match. A second player can challenge the first by pressing START , with the victor of the match continuing the game. There are eight difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. The "Parry the Ball!" bonus stage from 2nd Impact returns as well as a new version of the "Crush the Car!" bonus stage from Final Fight and Street Fighter II.
Versus: A two-player mode where each player chooses a character, their Super Arts, and a handicap and can pick any stage.
Training: A practice mode where the player chooses a character and a Super Art for both fighters. There is a normal training mode where the player can practice moves against a dummy opponent and can set the opponent to stand, crouch, jump, or fight and also toggle guarding and enable infinite Super meter. The player also record practice sessions and play them back. There is also a parrying training mode where the player records attacks for the opponent, then practices parrying them as the other fighter.

Kaihou	K	Yang dashes forward in a blur. He dashes farther when a stronger button is used. He can move through his opponent with this move.
Zenpou Tenshin	K (close)	Yang flips over his opponent's shoulder, landing on the other side of his opponent. The opponent is very briefly stunned after doing this, so it can be followed up by a quick attack before the opponent can counterattack.

Move list (Command normals)
Name	Command	Description
Personal Action	HP + HK	Yang runs his hand through his hair, which increases the attack power for all moves except throws.
Toukuu Koushu	MP + MK	Yang leaps forward with a downward, open-handed poke. This is an overhead strike that can hit characters who are crouch blocking.

III. Sei'ei Enbu (1-level meter)	P	Yang gathers his ki, then he is followed by two shadows for a limited amount of time that echo his attacks with a short delay and can damage his opponent. He cannot be hit out of this effect.

Kobokushi	P	Yun shoves with both open palms, knocking over his opponent on impact.

Gill

Gill is the leader of the Secret Society, also known as the Illuminati, a mysterious, cult-like organization that has manipulated world events for ages. He is the final opponent in the third World Warrior tournament. He resembles a Greek god, and his body is bifurcated into a blue half and a red half. The blue half has mastery over cryokinetic abilities, while the red half has mastery over pyrokinetic abilities, giving his attacks different properties depending on which direction he is facing.

Move list (Special moves)
Name	Command	Description
Pyrokinesis	P when facing right	Gill fires a flaming sphere from his fists. The angle of the projectile depends on the strength of the button used ( LP for straight ahead, MP for a 30° angle, HP for a 60° angle).
Cryokinesis	P when facing left	Gill fires a frozen sphere from his fists. The angle of the projectile depends on the strength of the button used ( LP for straight ahead, MP for a 30° angle, HP for a 60° angle).
Pyro Cyber Lariat	P when facing right	Gill charges forward with a lariat, knocking his opponent over with a flaming fist.
Cryo Cyber Lariat	P when facing left	Gill charges forward with a lariat, knocking his opponent over with a frozen fist.
Moonsault Knee Drop	K	Gill jumps straight up into the air, does a backflip, and dives down with his knees first. He always drops down to the location of the opponent. This is an overhead strike that can hit characters who are crouch blocking.
Psycho Headbutt	P	Gill hops forward with a headbutt that can hit airborne opponents.

Move list (Command normals)
Name	Command	Description
Personal Action	HP + HK	Gill laughs, which increases his attack power.
Elbow Attack	MP + MK	Gill leaps forward with a downward elbow strike. This is an overhead strike that can hit characters who are crouch blocking.
Palm Upper	+ MP	Gill does a standing uppercut.
Step Kick	+ MK	Gill steps forward with a front kick.

Move list (Super Arts)
Name	Command	Description
Meteor Strike (1-level)	P	Gill calls down a shower of flaming and frozen spheres.
Seraphic Wing (1-level)	K	Gill floats to the center of the screen, then grows six white wings as energy waves radiate from him. This move cannot be avoided or parried but can be blocked.
Resurrection	Automatically occurs when Gill is defeated with a full Super meter	Gill levitates and replenishes his entire vitality meter. He can be hit out of this move, which prevents him from recovering the rest of his vitality, but it is difficult since he pushes his opponent away while channeling this move and the move starts with a brief period of invulnerability. Gill automatically performs this move if he has a full Super meter when he is defeated in the last round of the match. After using this ability once, Gill's Super meter no longer fills, so he can only resurrect once per round.

Versions

The Dreamcast port adds a "System Direction" mode, a special options menu that allows users to customize numerous aspects of how the game works. The feature would be carried over to the later PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game, as well as 3rd Strike Online Edition on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Aside from that, this port has a remixed soundtrack and the final boss Gill was made playable (same as Double Impact).

The PAL version supports 50Hz and 60Hz modes.

History

Legacy

For a while, this was the only home version of 3rd Strike available to consumers, although it was later ported to the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox a few years later.

-'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ストリートファイターIII サードストライク), alternatively spelled '''''Street Fighter III: Third Strike''''', is a one-on-one fighting game released for the arcades by [[Capcom]] in 1999. It was the third instalment of the ''Street Fighter III'' sub-series and ran on the same CP System III arcade board as the first two entries. In 2000, Capcom released a stand-alone port of ''3rd Strike'' for the [[Sega Dreamcast]], following up on their compilation of the first two games titled ''[[Street Fighter III: Double Impact]]''. For a while this was the only home version of ''3rd Strike'' available to consumers, although it was later ported to the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox a few years later.

+==Story==
+Years after the second World Warrior Tournament and the fall of Shaladoo, a third World Warrior Tournament is being held by a mysterious "secret society" called the Illuminati.
 ==Gameplay==
-''3rd Strike'' was the third and final release in the ''Street Fighter III'' series. All characters got new moves and the behaviors of existing moves were modified (reach, strength, speed etc.). Throws, Overhead Attacks and Personal Actions (Taunts) are now activated by pressing two buttons simultaneously. The series unique parry maneuver can now also be performed while guarding, which results in a red flashing effect. The resulting maneuver is called a red parry.

+''3rd Strike'' was the third and final release in the ''Street Fighter III'' series of fighting games. Four new characters were added (Makoto, Q, Remy, and Twelve), Akuma was made a regular character, and Chun-Li was brought back from ''[[Street Fighter II]]''. All returning characters received new moves, stages, and endings. The behaviors of existing moves (such reach, strength, and speed) were modified to improve the balance of the game. Throws and universal overheads are now performed by pressing a punch and kick of the same strength simultaneously, like Personal Actions. The series-unique parry maneuver can now also be performed while guarding, called a "guard parry" or a "red parry" (for its red flashing effect). This allows characters to parry an attack that hits multiple times even after blocking one or more hits. All music and sound effects were changed (including character voice lines and the announcer). The game also introduces a grading system in which the victorious player of a match is graded afterwards on offense, defense, techniques, and extra points.
+Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouch with {{down}}. They dash with {{left}} {{left}} or {{right}} {{right}}. They jump with {{up}} and flip back and forth with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. Characters can perform a high jump with {{down}} {{up}} (which varies in height depending on the character). Each character has a set of normal attacks with differing properties such as speed or range. Punches are performed with {{X}} (jab), {{Y}} (medium), and {{L}} (fierce), while kicks are performed with {{A}} (short), {{B}} (medium), and {{R}} (roundhouse). Light attacks start up and recover faster and have a higher likelihood of connecting to an opponent. Hard attacks deal more damage but have lower attack priority and leave the character vulnerable for longer while the move starts up and recovers. Characters can additionally perform unique special moves using particular button combinations. Characters can perform a Personal Action by pressing the hard punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{L}}+{{R}}). Personal Actions are similar to taunts but with unique effects for each character.
+Throws and grabs are done by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{X}}+{{A}}) when next to an opponent. This can optionally be paired with {{left}} or {{right}} to throw in a particular direction. 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 some characters can throw in midair. Throws cannot be blocked, but characters can recover for reduced damage by performing the same inputs as a throw immediately after being thrown. Characters can recover more quickly after being knocked down (from a throw or other attack) by pressing {{down}} upon landing on the ground.
+Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, which negates incoming damage. Special moves and Super Arts still do a small amount of tick damage when guarded. Characters can guard while standing or crouching, but not while jumping (unlike the ''Street Fighter Alpha'' games). Some attacks can only be guarded while crouching (such as sweeps) or while standing (such as jumping attacks and overhead strikes). Every character has a leap attack, performed by pressing the medium punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{Y}}+{{B}}), which can hit characters who are guarding while crouched. Characters have visible stun meters under their vitality meters that fill as they take repeated attacks (and empty as they avoid attacks). If the meter fills, the character becomes stunned and vulnerable to attack for a moment. Players can recover from stuns and escape grabs more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons.
+Characters can parry incoming attacks by pressing the D-Pad toward the opponent to parry a standing or a jumping attack or pressing {{down}} to parry a crouching attack. Parries can be done in midair by pressing the D-Pad toward the opponent (regardless of the type of attack that is being parried). If executed at the exact moment that the attack is about to hit the character, the character flashes blue and averts the incoming attack; however, if the timing is wrong, the character is instead hit by the attack. Since performing a parry requires foregoing the option to guard because of the mutually exclusive controls, it is considered a high risk maneuver. However, the parrying character recovers much more quickly than attacking character, creating an opening for a counterattack. Parrying can be used against normal and special moves as well as some Super Arts, but not against throws or grabs. Parries can be done while guarding an attack, in which case the character flashes red, which allows it to interrupt attacks that hit multiple times or combos. However, the window for executing a guard parry is much shorter, so the timing required is more precise.
+As in previous games, characters have a Super meter that fills as they perform normal moves (except for light attacks), special moves (including Personal Actions), and parries. Attacks that are parried by the opponent do not build the meter. After selecting a character, the player can choose from one of three "Super Arts," which are super moves that can be performed once the Super meter is full. Only one Super Art can be chosen at a time, and the choice is permanent until the game ends. The length of the Super meter as well as the number of levels varies depending on the Super Art chosen, but every Super Art only costs one level of meter to perform (and there is only one level of strength for each Super Art, regardless of the strength of the button used to execute it). Generally, more powerful Super Arts require filling a longer meter while less powerful Super Arts have a shorter meter and allow the player to store multiple levels so that the move can be performed more. Normal and special moves can be canceled into Super Arts for combination attacks. Super meter power is carried over between rounds but not between matches.
+Characters can also perform slightly more powerful versions of their special moves called EX Specials, which are similar to the ES moves introduced in ''Darkstalkers''. These moves are performed by inputting the command for the special move and pressing two attack buttons of the same type (such as two punch buttons) instead of one. Using an EX Special costs a portion of the Super meter, depending on the move performed.
+If a match goes three rounds without a victor (because of a draw or a double knockout), rather than continuing to a fourth round, three "Judgment Girls," female judges with different designs, walk out and decide the winner (based on unknown criteria).
+===Modes===
+The game contains the following modes:
+*'''Arcade:''' A single-player mode where the player ten opponents, which includes a character-specific rival as the penultimate opponent and Gill as the final boss for each of the characters except for Gill himself (whose final boss is Alex). With the exception of these predetermined fights, the player is given a choice of two opponents to face before each match. A second player can challenge the first by pressing {{Start}}, with the victor of the match continuing the game. There are eight difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. The "Parry the Ball!" bonus stage from ''2nd Impact'' returns as well as a new version of the "Crush the Car!" bonus stage from ''[[Final Fight]]'' and ''[[Street Fighter II]]''.
+*'''Versus:''' A two-player mode where each player chooses a character, their Super Arts, and a handicap and can pick any stage.
+*'''Training:''' A practice mode where the player chooses a character and a Super Art for both fighters. There is a normal training mode where the player can practice moves against a dummy opponent and can set the opponent to stand, crouch, jump, or fight and also toggle guarding and enable infinite Super meter. The player also record practice sessions and play them back. There is also a parrying training mode where the player records attacks for the opponent, then practices parrying them as the other fighter.

+{{MoveListTable | desc=Special moves |
+{{MoveListRow | Tourou Zan | {{QCF}} {{punch}} (up to 3 times) | Yang steps forward with a lateral palm slash. This move can be chained into three strikes by pressing {{QCF}} {{punch}} more times. He moves slightly further when a stronger button is used.
+{{ESMove | desc=EX Special | Yang starts a variant of the move that can be chained into five strikes by pressing {{QCF}} {{punch}} more times.}}}}
+{{MoveListRow | Senkyuutai | {{QCF}} {{kick}} | Yang rolls along the ground, then he flies into the air with an upward kick. He rolls farther when a stronger button is used ({{LK}} for no roll, {{MK}} for half of the screen, and {{HK}} for the entire screen), but he always stops rolling to kick when he reaches his opponent. This move can pass under projectiles.
+{{ESMove | desc=EX Special | Yun performs a variant of the move that travels faster and further and does more damage.}}}}
+{{MoveListRow | Byakko Soushouda | {{QCB}} {{punch}} | Yang shoves with both open palms, knocking over his opponent on impact.}}
+{{MoveListRow | Fake Byakko Soushouda | {{QCB}} + two {{punch}} simultaneously | Yang pulls back his arms as if to perform a Byakko Soushouda but does not. This move recovers more quickly than a real Byakko Soushouda, so it can be used to bait a response from an opponent.}}
+{{MoveListRow | Kaihou | {{DPF}} {{kick}} | Yang dashes forward in a blur. He dashes farther when a stronger button is used. He can move through his opponent with this move.}}
+{{MoveListRow | Zenpou Tenshin | {{HCB}} {{kick}} (close) | Yang flips over his opponent's shoulder, landing on the other side of his opponent. The opponent is very briefly stunned after doing this, so it can be followed up by a quick attack before the opponent can counterattack.}}

+{{MoveListRow | I. Raishin Mahha Ken<br>(2-level meter) | {{QCF}} {{QCF}} {{punch}} | Yang does a hand thrust. If it connects, he walks through his opponent with a single hand thrust that does multiple hits.}}
+{{MoveListRow | II. Tenshin Senkyuutai<br>(2-level meter) | {{QCF}} {{QCF}} {{kick}} | Yang rolls along the ground until he reaches his opponent, then he flies into the air with an upward kick and follows up with additional kicks in midair. This move can pass under projectiles.}}
+{{MoveListRow | III. Sei'ei Enbu<br>(1-level meter) | {{QCF}} {{QCF}} {{punch}} | Yang gathers his ki, then he is followed by two shadows for a limited amount of time that echo his attacks with a short delay and can damage his opponent. He cannot be hit out of this effect.}}

+| info2=Alex
+| desc=Gill is the leader of the Secret Society, also known as the Illuminati, a mysterious, cult-like organization that has manipulated world events for ages. He is the final opponent in the third World Warrior tournament. He resembles a Greek god, and his body is bifurcated into a blue half and a red half. The blue half has mastery over cryokinetic abilities, while the red half has mastery over pyrokinetic abilities, giving his attacks different properties depending on which direction he is facing.
+{{MoveListTable | desc=Special moves |
+{{MoveListRow | Pyrokinesis | {{QCF}} {{punch}} when facing right | Gill fires a flaming sphere from his fists. The angle of the projectile depends on the strength of the button used ({{LP}} for straight ahead, {{MP}} for a 30° angle, {{HP}} for a 60° angle).}}
+{{MoveListRow | Cryokinesis | {{QCF}} {{punch}} when facing left | Gill fires a frozen sphere from his fists. The angle of the projectile depends on the strength of the button used ({{LP}} for straight ahead, {{MP}} for a 30° angle, {{HP}} for a 60° angle).}}

+{{MoveListRow | Resurrection | Automatically occurs when Gill is defeated with a full Super meter | Gill levitates and replenishes his entire vitality meter. He can be hit out of this move, which prevents him from recovering the rest of his vitality, but it is difficult since he pushes his opponent away while channeling this move and the move starts with a brief period of invulnerability. Gill automatically performs this move if he has a full Super meter when he is defeated in the last round of the match. After using this ability once, Gill's Super meter no longer fills, so he can only resurrect once per round.}}

 ==Versions==
-The Dreamcast port adds a "System Direction" mode, a special options menu that allows users to customize numerous aspects of how the game works. The feature would be carried over to the later PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game, as well as ''3rd Strike Online Edition'' on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Aside from that, this port has a remixed soundtrack and the final boss Gill was made playable (same as ''Double Impact'').
