ALL THE CHARICTERS
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Shows
Its Face
After Street Fighter 3's
disappointing job at getting fans energized again about the series, the last hope left (after
Second Impact) is Street Fighter Zero 3 (the Zero series is known as the Street Fighter Alpha
series in the US). Finally, the first glimpses of the game are being given to gamers through Gamest
magazine, which has an extensive feature on SFZ3. We'll have more information and pictures of the
game soon, but here's what's currently known about it.
Confirmed characters are: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Nash,Adon, Sodom, Guy, Birdie, Rose, M. Bison, Sagat,
Dan, Sakura, Rolento, Dahlsim, Zangief, Cammy,Vega, Edmund Honda, and Blanka. One new
character already confirmed for the game is Karin,Sakura's rival. Two more are scheduled to be
revealed in the next few weeks.
The game will use a new ISM system, which lets you customize the super bar between three
different modes - X, W, and Z. The Z mode acts like that of Zero 2, allowing for multiple supers; the W
mode allows for Custom Combos; and the X mode lets you fill up one bar for one super.
The Street Fighter Zero logo has also gone through a fresh redesign, and the game will apparently be
running on Capcom's CPS2 board and not the CPS3 that ran SF3 and SF3:Second Impact.
