General: Now with the cast bigger than ever, the SFA series has been given it's best version yet, and most importantly, fans were pleased. Previously missing classics like Blanka, E.Honda, Balrog, and Vega, were brought back and given a brand new look as well as a nice selection of new moves. They are joined by the all new characters Karin, R. Mika, and even Cody from Final Fight.
...
SFA3 still offered the same excellent gameplay, but now with more features. Players can now choose from A-ism (3 super meter style), X-ism (1 super meter style), or V-ism (custom combo style)... This adds to the customization value for each play, and each character also has about 6 different colors (depending on the I-sm you pick in the arcade version), which is also a nice touch.
.
The home versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3 also included the last 3 missing characters from Super Street Fighter 2: Dee Jay, T. Hawk, and Fei Long, plus Guile; which means that every character from SSF2T is selectable, and joined by the entire Street Fighter Alpha cast... Awesome I say! Street Fighter characters are some of the most fun characters to fight with in any fighting game series, and now they're all in one great game.

Closing Comment: Some fans pick SFA3 as their favorite SF of all time, due to the great roster, balanced characters, fun gameplay, and cool extras... SFA3 is surely a Capcom classic that will never be forgotten. There are 2 more versions of SFA3, one for the Gameboy Advance entitled Street Fighter Alpha 3: Upper, and one for the PSP entitled Street Fighter Alpha 3: Max. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
