Street Fighter III: Double Impact, known as Street Fighter III: W Impact (ストリートファイターIII Wインパクト) in Japan, is a competitive fighting game compilation produced by Capcom, released exclusively for the Sega Dreamcast in Japan in 1999 and worldwide in 2000.

It collects the first two versions of Street Fighter III, the long-awaited numbered sequel to Street Fighter II, originally released in arcades for Capcom's CPS-3 arcade board in 1997. Because of the advanced capabilities of the CPS-3, neither game could be ported to consoles until the Dreamcast was released over two years later.

Games included

• Street Fighter III: New Generation
• Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack

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

New Generation

2nd Impact

Judgment Girls

Like the Street Fighter II and Street Fighter Alpha series that preceded it, Street Fighter III is a 2D fighting game. Two fighters must employ a variety of attacks and special moves to try to knock each other out in matches played to the best of three rounds. Character sprites are more detailed and have more fluid animation than in previous entries. Gameplay incorporates some features from previous Street Fighter games, as well as Capcom's Darkstalkers series and Marvel-based fighting games such as X-Men: Children of the Atom. New Generation introduced parrying (called "blocking" in the Japanese version), which can be used to deflect incoming attacks without receiving damage; leap attacks, which are small jumping attacks used against crouching opponents; and Super Arts, which are powerful special moves similar to the Super Combos of previous games. 2nd Impact added new characters, new moves for existing characters, Personal Actions, and EX Specials, while refining existing mechanics.

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. In 2nd Impact, 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 holding or when next to an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, and some characters can throw in midair. Throws cannot be blocked, but characters can recover more quickly after being knocked down (from a throw or other attack) by pressing upon landing on the ground. In 2nd Impact, characters can also recover from throws in the air by performing the same inputs as a throw, as in Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

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 with and any attack button, 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 low or crouching attack. 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. 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. In 2nd Impact, characters can parry in midair; pressing the D-Pad forward causes the character to fall back and away from the opponent, while pressing causes the character to fall downward and close to the opponent.

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.

In 2nd Impact, 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

Bonus stage

Both games contain the same modes:

• Arcade: A single-player mode where the player faces a series of challengers in best of three matches before facing a final boss. 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. In New Generation, the player faces six opponents, then Gill. In 2nd Impact, the player faces eight opponents, with the last opponent varying depending on the selected character; it is usually Gill, but Gill is fought as the second-to-last opponent when it is someone else. The player can also face a rival character or Akuma if certain requirements are met. There is a bonus stage that is played after the third battle where Sean throws basketballs that the player must parry.
• Versus: A two-player mode where each player chooses a character, their Super Arts, and a handicap and can pick any stage. Players can choose a different Super Art for each round.
• Training: A practice mode where the player chooses a character and a Super Art for both fighters. The player can set the opponent to stand, crouch, jump, or fight and also toggle guarding and enable infinite Super meter.
• Parrying Attack: This mode is exclusive to 2nd Impact. It allows the player to play the bonus stage from the Arcade Mode to practice parrying.

In New Generation, Ryu and Ken are the only characters to return from previous entries. In 2nd Impact, Akuma returns as well, as a hidden character.

Hugo and Urien were added in 2nd Impact. Yun and Yang are the same character in New Generation (P selects Yun and K selects Yang), but they were split into separate characters for 2nd Impact, with differentiated movesets.

EX Specials and Personal Actions are only present in 2nd Impact. Rival battles and final battles also only apply to 2nd Impact (as New Generation lacks rival battles and always ends with Gill).

The barrier moves forward a short distance before coming to a stop. Multiple barriers can be out at a time if Urien has enough Super meter. The barrier damages and electrifies opponents on contact, so it can be used to corner opponents and setup juggle combos. It also reflects most projectiles, but some projectiles (such as Ryu's Denjin Hadouken or Gill's Pyrokinesis or Cryokinesis) can destroy it. Urien can pass harmlessly through the barrier.

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.

Legacy

The third and final game in the series, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, was released to arcades in 1999. The Dreamcast would receive a standalone port of it in 2000.

Though 3rd Strike would be re-released for several other platforms (including the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox in the same console generation), this compilation was the only console port of New Generation and 2nd Impact until the release of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs in 2018.

Capcom has retroactively changed the story from taking place during the third World Warrior tournament to the fifth, since Street Fighter IV (2008) and Street Fighter V (2016) are supposed to have taken place in between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III. Street Fighter 6 (2023) is the first game to take place after the events of Street Fighter III.
