Game Introduction

The long awaited sequel to Street Fighter II - The World Warrior, this game features the not-so-unexpected return of Ryu and Ken plus a new generation of street fighters.

Game Play

Air-blocking and taunts from the Alpha series have been replaced by parrying. To parry a hit, you increase your super meter, but not the attacker's. This technique, called "offensive blocking" is performed by hitting towards your opponent just before you get hit.

Trivia

Sean is Ken's would-be student from Brazil.

Cabinet Information

The game was manufactured in either a standard JAMMA cabinet or in a deluxe projection screen cabinet. The marquee is blue-purple with pictures of two of the fighters, Alex and Ryu, on either side. Above them, it says "A New Generation of Street Fighters" and in the center, it says "Three". The control panel has a gray brick design containing data of the fighters and their Super Arts.

Conversion

This game is the second Capcom game to use the CPS III system the first was Red Earth. Since the CPS III system uses both a CD-ROM and a cartridge, it is quite easy to convert to any other CPS-III game.

Miscellaneous

The only returning characters are Ken and Ryu, the rest are new. However, some of the new characters are related to the old ones. Sean is Ken's pupil, Yang and Yun are Gen's grandsons and Ibuki is rumored to be the daughter of Geki (a ninja from the original Street Fighter). Some characters have fighting styles similar to some of the older characters.
