Street Fighter III Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Street Fighter III is a fighting game produced by Capcom, released in 1997, which is a continuation of the famous Street Fighter series of games.

The game was produced in three editions, each adding more characters as well as making minor modifications to the gameplay:

• Street Fighter III: New Generation
• Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact - Giant Attack
• Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight For The Future

This was the 'true' sequel to Street Fighter 2, and retained the character duo of Ken and Ryu which fans of the series loved. The original edition of Street Fighter 3 only included eight characters, but later version increased this with new characters to the Street Fighter series, as well as bringing back old characters.

In terms of gameplay, one addition to this game was 'parrying'. This is described as 'offensive blocking' ^[1], and differs from simple blocking in that no damage is taken from parrying the move being conducted against a character. Parrying is a skill that requires a lot of honing and practicing, however, as it requires that you press toward (or down, if it's a low attack) your opponent at the exact time the move hits, leaving you wide open if you time your parry poorly.

Another twist to the gameplay is the Super Arts system. Unlike most other fighting games, where everyone's super move meter is exactly the same length and can be used to pull off one of a small group of super moves, in Street Fighter III the player is asked to choose one of three Super Arts before the match starts. Each Super Art has its own meter length, and amount of "stocks" it can hold. Some moves take a long time to charge up, and can only be stocked once, while others accumulate stocks quickly and allow for multiple firings of the same Super Art. In addition, the Super Art meters power EX Moves, which are basically powered up versions of character's moves performed by pressing two punch or kick buttons instead of one. Different Super Art meters allow for different amounts of EX Move usage, usually between 1 and 3 when fully charged.
