Street Fighter Alpha 3 (USA 980616, SAMPLE Version) — About this game
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (USA 980616, SAMPLE Version) makes the selected fighting style change both offence and defence. A-ism supplies a three-level Super Combo gauge, X-ism concentrates on one powerful super and V-ism exchanges supers for a custom-combo activation. Blocking also consumes a separate Guard Power gauge; exhausting it leaves the fighter vulnerable and reduces the gauge’s restored maximum. Character choice therefore works together with the selected ism.
