The arcade industry collapsed.Well? What happened?
No, that's not the real reason SF3 bombed. Truth is, CPS3 was ridiculously expensive for arcade operators, New Generation was almost completely broken with bad balance, the roster was completely new outside of Ryu and Ken (who were only added when location tests proved unpopular), the Alpha series and VS. games were genuinely more appealing, and 3D fighters had eaten up a ton of Street Fighter's appeal among genre fans.The arcade industry collapsed.
The best SF game of all time. Well at least SF3 3rd Strike is.Well? What happened?
Hmm, is it? Like I have a hard time choosing between even 3S and 2I for different reasons, 3S might be more competitive-friendly and the FGC side obviously prefer it, but I think 2I is better balanced with some core mechanics and the OST is better, let alone the backgrounds.The best SF game of all time. Well at least SF3 3rd Strike is.
Once, I wrote something like this when I was on Retardera about the need of a new cast in the next SF.No one played it because of an entirely new cast.
ThisWas just playing 3rd strike on fightcade the other day. What a fucking game. The animation is insane to this day.
That collection leaves a lot to be desired, especially on the Alpha side of things..Street Fighter III New Generation, SF3 2nd Impact, SF3 3rd Strike and Alpha 3 are all available in the "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection" on PS4 (and so PS5 via BC), XBOXone, PC and Switch.
Just sayin'......
Out of all the street fighter games which one is the most "user-friendly" ? One that allows you to pull off the dragon punches, and hadokens with ease?
At the time, my arcade was mostly fighting games fans. Everybody hated SF3's shitty cast. Not only was mostly new, but they also mostly sucked too.No one played it because of an entirely new cast.
The cast deviated greatly from Street Fighter 2 and other Capcom fighters featuring Street Fighter characters, such as Alpha and X-Men vs Street Fighter. This was also during the time when arcade scene was on a downward spiral. EVO really brought life back into to the franchise as many people saw what these new characters were actually capable of.
I mainly dislike not all elements have the same quality art/animation (Elena hands ug). Mark of the Wolves looks so much more consistent and is an equally technical gem of a game, but I actually prefer how the Alpha games look anyway, even though they didn't push animation to that high level.
Most overrated FG of all time.

Easy capcom milked street fighter 2 for too long with sf 2 champioship edition, sf 2 turbo, super sf2, etc.
Last Blade.For 2D background art tho I think it's between SF3: 2I, RB FF Special and Orochi-saga KOF games for best in the genre. So much craftsmanship in that background artwork.
Why would the PS360 versions need to be ported to PS4/Xbox One when Street Fighter 3, 2nd Impact and 3rd Strike are in the 30th Anniversary Collection?A great video looking at the troubled development of Streetfighter 3, after the blockbuster success of the previous entries in the Streetfighter series...(and still to this day the 360/PS3 versions have not been ported to PS4/Xbox One..)
The Last Blade BGs were a mood. Honestly, a lot of SNK's games were.Last Blade.
Most overrated FG of all time.
It was entirely on the roster. Had SF3 launched with the full SF2 roster + new characters, it would've been a different story.
I loved it since the first time I saw it on the arcades, but as mentioned in the video back then arcades, pixel art games and 2D fighter weren't as popular as before.
Nope. Street fighter Alpha 3 is their best fighting gameSF3 is still the best fighting game of all time. Perfected the formula.
Q, Sean, Alex, Makoto, Ibiku are just too fun to play.
