The most obvious change in ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'' is the introduction of three different playing styles known as "isms". The standard playing style, A-ism (or Z-ism in ''Zero 3), is based on the previous Alpha games, in which the player has a three-level Super Combo gauge with access to various Super Combo moves. X-ism is a simple style based on ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' (unusually, even localized versions keep the reference to the Japanese title, ''Super Street Fighter II X''), in which the player has a single-level Super Combo gauge and access to a single (but powerful) Super Combo move, though players cannot air-block or use Alpha (Zero) Counters. The third style, V-ism (or "variable" style), a unique style that allows the player to perform custom combos similar to ''Street Fighter Alpha 2''. ''Alpha 3'' also introduces a "Guard Power Gauge" which depletes each time the player blocks - if the gauge is completely depleted, then the player will remain vulnerable for an attack.
+
The controls for several actions has been modified from previous Alpha games: the level of a Super Combo move in A-ism is now determined by the strength of the attack button pressed (i.e. Medium Punch or Kick for a Lv. 2 Super Combo), rather than the number of buttons pushed; and throwing is now done by pressing two punch or kick buttons simultaneously.

A [[Sega Saturn]] version of ''Street Fighter Zero 3'' was released in 1999 shortly after the initial [[Sega Dreamcast]] version in Japan only. The Saturn port makes use of Capcom's 4-Mega RAM cart and uses all of the features added to the PlayStation version with the exceptions of the polygon usage and the PocketStation mode - that said, the Saturn version uses the extra RAM to include more frames of animation than the PlayStation version. Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma and Guile are immediately selectable. While the World Tour and Survival modes are virtually unchanged from the PlayStation version, Dramatic Battle received major improvements with the addition of Reverse Dramatic Battle and allowing three different characters to be used.

The 1999 Dreamcast version, titled ''Street Fighter Alpha 3: Saikyo Dojo'' (or ''Street Fighter Zero 3: Saikyō-ryū Dōjō'' in Japan), retains all the added features from the PlayStation version of the game, but features a different World Tour mode. An online mode was added that allowed players to display their high scores. In addition, a Saikyo Dojo mode was added which pits a very weak character of the player's choice against two very strong opponents. This Dreamcast port was re-released in Japan in 2000 as ''Street Fighter Zero 3: Saikyō-ryū Dōjō'' for Matching Service, which was released as a mail order title via Dreamcast Direct. The Matching Service version differs from the original due to the addition of an Online Versus Mode.

Street Fighter Alpha 3, known as Street Fighter Zero 3 (ストリートファイターZERO 3) in Japan and Asia, is a 1998 fighting game by Capcom originally released for Capcom CPS II arcade hardware. It is the third game in the Street Fighter Alpha series, following Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams and Street Fighter Alpha 2.

The game was later remade for Sega NAOMI GD-ROM arcade hardware as Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper.

The gameplay system from the previous Alpha games was given a complete overhaul with the addition of three selectable fighting styles, a much larger roster of characters, and for the first time since the original Street Fighter II, new theme music for all the returning characters.

Gameplay

The controls for several actions has been modified from previous Alpha games: the level of a Super Combo move in A-ism is now determined by the strength of the attack button pressed (i.e. Medium Punch or Kick for a Lv. 2 Super Combo), rather than the number of buttons pushed; and throwing is now done by pressing two punch or kick buttons simultaneously.

ISMs

The most obvious change in Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the introduction of three different playing styles known as "ISMs".

  • A-ism (or Z-ism in Zero 3)
The standard playing style. It based on the previous Alpha games, in which the player has a three-level Super Combo gauge with access to various Super Combo moves.
  • X-ism
Simple style based on Super Street Fighter II Turbo (unusually, even localized versions keep the reference to the Japanese title, Super Street Fighter II X), in which the player has a single-level Super Combo gauge and access to a single (but powerful) Super Combo move, though players cannot air-block or use Alpha (Zero) Counters.
  • V-ism (or "variable" style)
It is a unique style that allows the player to perform custom combos similar to Street Fighter Alpha 2. Alpha 3 also introduces a "Guard Power Gauge" which depletes each time the player blocks - if the gauge is completely depleted, then the player will remain vulnerable for an attack.

Versions

Saturn version

A Sega Saturn version of Street Fighter Zero 3 was released in 1999 shortly after the initial Sega Dreamcast version in Japan only. The Saturn port makes use of Capcom's 4-Mega RAM cart and uses all of the features added to the PlayStation version with the exceptions of the polygon usage and the PocketStation mode - that said, the Saturn version uses the extra RAM to include more frames of animation than the PlayStation version. Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma and Guile are immediately selectable. While the World Tour and Survival modes are virtually unchanged from the PlayStation version, Dramatic Battle received major improvements with the addition of Reverse Dramatic Battle and allowing three different characters to be used.

Dreamcast version

The 1999 Dreamcast version, titled Street Fighter Alpha 3: Saikyo Dojo (or Street Fighter Zero 3: Saikyō-ryū Dōjō in Japan), retains all the added features from the PlayStation version of the game, but features a different World Tour mode. An online mode was added that allowed players to display their high scores. In addition, a Saikyo Dojo mode was added which pits a very weak character of the player's choice against two very strong opponents. This Dreamcast port was re-released in Japan in 2000 as Street Fighter Zero 3: Saikyō-ryū Dōjō for Matching Service, which was released as a mail order title via Dreamcast Direct. The Matching Service version differs from the original due to the addition of an Online Versus Mode.
