Street Fighter Alpha 3 — play online free
Street Fighter Alpha 3 closes out Capcom's Alpha series with one-on-one fights across a huge roster of classic and new characters. Before each match you pick a style, or "ism": A-ism gives you several supers of different strengths, X-ism offers a single heavier super in the spirit of Super Turbo, and V-ism lets you unleash custom combos you build on the fly. A guard meter punishes anyone who just blocks forever. This PlayStation version adds World Tour mode, where you travel the globe taking on challenges and steadily powering up your fighter. It's fast, deep and remembered for how much it packs in.
Tips for playing Street Fighter Alpha 3
- ▸Start with A-ism; it's the most balanced style and lets you try several supers without extra complexity.
- ▸Watch your guard meter. Block too much and it shatters, leaving you open for a moment.
- ▸Play World Tour mode to learn gradually while unlocking upgrades for your favorite fighter.
