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.

Gameplay

3rd Strike was the third and final release in the Street Fighter III series. 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, which results in a 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 Up-left and Up-right. 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 by default). 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 by default) 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 (called overheads). Every character has a leap attack, performed by pressing the medium punch and kick buttons simultaneously (Y+B by default), 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 consisting of multiple hits, in which case the character flashes red.

As in previous games, characters have a Super meter that fills as they perform normal moves (except for light attacks) or special moves (including Personal Actions). 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. 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 "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.

Characters

Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, Left and Right should be reversed. P refers to any of the punch buttons, while K refers to any of the kick buttons.

The entire cast from 2nd Impact returns. Akuma is no longer a hidden character.

Chun-Li returns from the Street Fighter II and Street Fighter Alpha series. Makoto, Q, Remy, and Twelve are new characters.

Move list (Super Arts)
Name Command Description
I. Tyrant Slaughter
(2-level meter)
Down Down-right Right Down Down-right Right P Urien charges at his opponent with alternating shoulder strikes, followed by a takedown.
II. Temporal Thunder
(2-level meter)
Down Down-right Right Down Down-right Right P Urien fires a large metallic sphere from his fists. The sphere is tall but grows smaller as it travels across the screen. It hits multiple times and electrifies the opponent.
III. Aegis Reflector
(2-level meter)
Down Down-right Right Down Down-right Right P Urien generates a rectangular energy barrier in front of him, resembling a plate of glass, which lasts for a duration before shattering. The distance from Urien that the barrier is generated depends on the strength of the button used ( LP  is closest and  HP  is farthest), or it can be generated diagonally upwards from Urien by pressing all three P buttons simultaneously. 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.

Rival battle:
Urien
Final battle:
Alex



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 Down Down-right Right 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 Down Down-right Right 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 Right Down Down-right P when facing right Gill charges forward with a lariat, knocking his opponent over with a flaming fist.
Cryo Cyber Lariat Right Down Down-right P when facing left Gill charges forward with a lariat, knocking his opponent over with a frozen fist.
Moonsault Knee Drop Right Down-right Down Down-left Left K Gill jumps straight up into the air, does a backflip, and dives down with his knees first. This is an overhead strike that can hit characters who are crouch blocking.
Psycho Headbutt Down Down-left Left 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 Left+ MP  Gill does a standing uppercut.
Step Kick Right+ MK  Gill steps forward with a front kick.
Move list (Super Arts)
Name Command Description
Meteor Strike
(1-level)
Down Down-right Right Down Down-right Right P Gill calls down a shower of flaming and frozen spheres.
Seraphic Wing
(1-level)
Down Down-right Right Down Down-right Right 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.

Stages

Each character has his or her own stage where matches are hosted (with the exception of Q, who fights in the stage of the previous opponent). Some characters share the same stage but have their own unique color variations. The stage can be manually chosen in the two-player mode.

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.
