Street Fighter Alpha: Difference between revisions

 

In 1998, '''''Street Fighter Alpha 3''''' finished off the prequel sub-series, bringing the story all the way back to ''Street Fighter II'''s doorstep, and introducing some extensive [[Retcon|retcons]] to the ''Street Fighter'' story and characters. Incidentally, ''Alpha 3'' contains the largest character roster of the series, having the entire roster from ''Super Turbo'' (with Fei Long, T. Hawk, Dee Jay and Guile only available in the home versions), four characters from the original ''Final Fight'', (Cody, Guy, Sodom and Rolento) Karin Kanzuki, (whose only appearance was on the manga ''Sakura Ganbaru!'') Japanese wrestler Rainbow Mika, and Bison's female bodyguards Juni and Juli, plus every remaining returning character from ''Alpha 2'', making ''Alpha 3'' the game in the series with the largest roster. In 2002, ''Alpha 3'' was ported to the [[Game Boy Advance]] adding Eagle, Maki and Yun (with [[Assist Character|his brother]] Yang) fresh from their appearance in ''[[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium|Capcom vs. SNK 2]]''. Finally, in 2006, Ingrid from ''[[Capcom Fighting Evolution]]'' was added in the PSP version.

* [[Achey Scars]]: The scar on Sagat's chest glows whenever he is confronted by Ryu. In ''Alpha 2 Gold'' and ''Alpha 3'', he gains a super which allows him to draw upon the feelings of anger and hatred invoked by his scar and buff the damage output of his next Tiger Blow.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Cammy was added to the roster in ''Alpha 2 Gold'' (the console version of the Asia-only ''Zero 2 Alpha'') after her [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|appearance]] in ''[[X-Men vs. Street Fighter]]'', although she did not have a proper in-game storyline in the game until its re-release for the PS2 as part of the ''Alpha Anthology''.
