The names of each fighting mode have been translated from Japanese to English.

Z-ism has been changed to A-ism, corresponding to the title change, and the descriptive text has been translated.
X-ism, named after Super Street Fighter II X, was not changed to match the regional name of Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
The Western releases of the arcade game additionally change the vertical scrolling text from Select "Ism" to Select Fighting Style, but this change was not retained in the Dreamcast port.

The text for the character bios, win quotes, pre-match dialogue, and endings have been translated from Japanese to English. The units in the bios have been changed from metric to imperial.
Stage transition
The title on the stage transition has been changed from Street Fighter Zero 3 to Street Fighter Alpha 3, and the large Z has been changed to a large A to match.

Main menu
Character select
The entry slots for World Tour characters are only shown in the Saturn version if at least one character has been saved, but they are always shown in the Dreamcast version. Some of the console-exclusive characters are in different positions: Guile, Balrog (M. Bison), T. Hawk, and Evil Ryu.
Mode select
Before choosing an Ism, the player is given a choice of modes in the Dreamcast version: Normal, Mazi, Saikyo, and Classic.
Speed select
The Ism selection uses mesh transparency in the Saturn port but true transparency in the Dreamcast version.
Speed select
The game speed selection uses mesh transparency in the Saturn port but true transparency in the Dreamcast version. The running man sprites face opposite directions.
T. Hawk retreating animation
The Saturn version includes animations that are missing from the PlayStation and Dreamcast ports of the game, such as a special animation for T. Hawk when he walks backwards. The Dreamcast version uses the same frames as when he walks forwards.
