Graphic: James Bareham/Polygon | Source images: CapcomĪs it turned out, for about half of that six-year stretch, Capcom had been working on Street Fighter 3 - it just hadn’t told anyone. In arcades around the world, players told the same joke: “Can’t Capcom count to three?”Īs the second game released on Capcom’s CPS-3 arcade hardware, Street Fighter 3 features 2D visuals that arguably haven’t been topped since, even 20 years later.
Throughout magazines like GameFan and Electronic Gaming Monthly, reports and rumors circulated that the game would have 3D graphics, that it might be developed in the U.S., that it would run on Nintendo’s Ultra 64 arcade hardware, and that it would be exclusive to Nintendo’s next home console. in Torrance, California, employees signed customers up for imaginary pre-orders. On the Usenet newsgroup 2, players posted prank links promising nonexistent screenshots and test site details.Īt a Software Etc. We’ll have more info for you next month and maybe a big surprise. This new game will incorporate two new 16 bit processors created by Capcom, which will be running parallel to each other (parallel processing). Street Fighter 3 is only a working title (even the name may change). As far as new characters, we know about two so far, Chun Li’s younger sister, and Bison’s mentor (who will be the last boss), his name is Shadow Lu. There will also be one command that all the characters can use. And there’s no more charging to do moves like Guile’s sonic boom or Blanka’s spinning ball from part 2. Instead of 3 special moves per character, there are now 5, and there is no more lag time after throwing a fireball, you can now automatically connect it with a dragon punch. You know what that means… 14 new characters! Now, when Ryu does his fireball, he has an aura around him, and Sagat can now do a tiger knee helicopter kick. Some of the other match-ups changed, slightly, but for the most part things have remained the same.“This new version will incorporate only two of the original cast from part two, Ryu and Sagat. The biggest difference between the 20 charts are that before 2007 Yun was considered to be the best overall character in the game.
Top tier characters are gray, upper tier are blueish-green, middle tier are red, lower tier are purple, the bottom tier is brown and the worst is a puke-gold color.
