About

The PlayStation port of Street Fighter Alpha 3 has added new characters to the roster, including Juli, Juni, Balrog, Dee Jay, Fei Long and T. Hawk. They come with new portraits and their own scenarios. Guile, Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma have also been added as secret characters that can be unlocked through World Tour mode, a mode that allows players to strengthen and customize the fighting style of their chosen character while traveling the world.

What players say

A smooth, tight 2D fighter with a massive roster and the deep three-ism style system that gives it real competitive depth. Frequently named a favorite in the series, though the PS1 port is just one of several ways to play it.
