10/18 - vERSION 0.0: Started my very first FAQ and Street Fighter FAQ. A few
regular moves & throws are missing for the characters that have them. As well
as my own strategies for each character.
10/24 - vERSION 0.1: Updated movelist and added character Guile to "Console
Originals" group. Also removed Cammy from the very confusing Cammy, Juli, and
Juni group; and put her in the "New Challengers" group. I included a websites
section and added one more thing in the miscellaneous section.
11/07 - vERSION 0.1a: Updated movelist and added some more info for a few
characters.
11/07 - vERSION 0.3: Updated movelist and added more info for some characters.

12/27 - vERSION 0.4: Updated the miscellaneous section and spell check some
words. Still trying to make this FAQ complete as soon as possible.
01/07 - vERSION 0.5: Added some new moves for some characters and also finally
added common combos for them ALL as well.
01/20 - vERSION 0.5a: Changed some things here and there. Removed American

Welcome to the world of the Street Fighter & the Street Fighter Alpha
Series. This is the third installment, called Street Fighter Alpha 3, or SFA 3
for short. This game is made by Capcom and is considered to be one of the best
fighting games in all of Capcom, Street Fighter, and the Gaming General's
history.
In this FAQ you will find move lists, my own personal strategies, methods,
and other things to do while playing and enjoying SFA3 on the U.S. PlayStation.
Enough with the talk, let's get started!

Here are the descriptions of the three(3) ISMs in the game.
-----
X-ISM
-----
X-ISM is better known for being the original way of performing Supers in Street
Fighter. This mode is exactly the same as in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo where
your character had only one Super move and had to fill up the superbar below to
perform it. In SFA 3 it's almost entirely different. It's a little easier to
fill up on the superbar and some characters have more than one super move
(M.Bison and Sagat). But only the computer can perform those. Also in X-ISM you
can't air block at all, but you can give more damage than any other ISM.
-----
A-ISM
-----
In this ISM, you can perform over two supers with your character. Also you have
the ability to block in the air. All your special moves, super moves, and
regular moves are average in the damage department.
-----
V-ISM
-----
This is known as the Original Combo Mode or better known as Custom Combo mode.
Here your character does not have super moves at all. The only thing to it is
you can create fast shadowed combos, which will be considered supers if used to
finish your opponent.
Each character's regular moves have either been altered or have had new ones
added to them. These are the moves that have been added in general:
F + LK-? B + LK- High Knee
F + LP-? B + LP- Better Jab
F + MK-? B + MK-?
F + MP-? B + MP-?
F + HK-? F + HK- High Kick
F + HP-? F + HP- Hardest Punch
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|What is the best ISM?|
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Well it depends. If you're really good at combos and the mastery of a
character's moves, then I suggest you use V-ISM. Most people will agree
(especially at the arcades) that it's THE best of the ISMs. If you think about
it, all of the X & A-ISMs moves are just automatic combos that (most of the
time) can be done in V-ISM manually and quicker.
On the other hand A-ISM is ideal for variety in your gameplay. I myself use
A-ISM more than any of the other ISMs. Even though the damage is average, you
can pull off a lot of Level 1 supers and get even more damage out of them at
times.
X-ISM is simply more powerful, and that's about it. In X-ISM your always open
to air attacks and once you use up you superbar, you have to regain it all over
again.
So, in conclusion... YOU be the judge.

Akuma / Shin Akuma
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Regular Moves & Throws ###
Tenmakuujinkyaku UB/UF_ D + HK
Spin Kick F + MK
Axe Chop F + LP
High Knee F + MK (close)
"Power Up" (Only during taunt) Select
### Special Moves ###
Gou Hadoken (Fireball)(a) QCF + P
"Red" Fireball HCB + P
Fake Fireball QCF + Select
Gou Shoryuken (Dragon Punch) F,D,DF + P
Tatsumaki Zankukyaku (a) QCB + K
(Hurricane Kick)
Hyakkishu [A][V] QCF,UF + P (then P/K)
Ashura Senku (Teleport) F,D,DF + 3P/3K &
B,D,DB + 3P/3K
### Super Moves ###
Shungokusatsu [X][A](l3) LP,LP,F,LK,HP
Messatsu Gou Hado [A](A) QCFx2 + P
Tenma Gou Zanku [A] HCBx2 + P
Messatsu Gou Shoryu [A] QCFx2 + P
### Differences ###
The only difference between these two is that Shin Akuma is faster and slightly
more powerful than Akuma. Shin Akuma can also perform two (2) air fireballs in
a 50+ Degree angle while Akuma can only do one in a 45 Degree angle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryu / Evil Ryu (E.R. means ONLY Evil Ryu, R means Ryu)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Regular Moves & Throws ###
Spin Kick F + MK
Hook Shot [X][V] F + HP
Downward Punch [A][V] F + MP,HP
Elbow Combo [X] F + P (then P if it connects)
Air Combo Start (A) P,P/K (Try to combo when landing)
### Special Moves ###
Hadoken (Fireball) QCF + P
Shakunetsu Hadoken (Red Fireball) HCF + P
Fake Fireball QCF + Select
Shoryuken F,D,DF + P
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (a) QCB + K
Ashura Senku (Teleport)(E.R.) F,D,DF + 3P/3K &
B,D,DB + 3P/3K
### Super Moves ###
Shinku Hadoken [A] QCFx2 + P
Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku [A] QCBx2 + K
Metsu Shoryuken (R l3)[A] QCFx2 + K
Shin Shoryuken (R l3)[A] QCFx2 + K (Only if elbow tip connects)
Shungokusatsu (E.R. l3)[A] LP,LP,F,LK,HP
Messatsu Gou Shoryu (E.R.)[A] QCFx2 + K
### Differences ###
There obviously a major difference between these two. One is that Evil Ryu is
well... EVIL! Anyway, Evil Ryu can Teleport, Perform the Shungokusatsu &
Messatsu Gou Shoryu, and throws a complete red fireball. The only thing Evil
Ryu can not do is perform the Metsu/Shin Shoryuken (since the Messatsu Gou
Shoryu has the same motion). In my opinion, the better of the two is Ryu. He's
just more original and better than Evil Ryu will ever be. Don't get me wrong
though, it's fun playing as someone's evil counterpart.
### Notes ###
I've found out the best possible way to perform the Shin Shoryuken with Ryu.
First you need to goto Training Mode. Then Choose Ryu as you player, and
someone else as you "sparring" partner/opponent. Then corner your opponent.
Walk toward the opponent until you an't advance any further. Then careful watch
yourself as you move backwards. ONLY take two full steps so that the space
in-between you two is the same of another character and a fourth. Now practice
doing the "Metsu Shoryuken" until you do the "Shin Shoryuken."

Psycho Intentions [A](J.J) QCFx2 + P (Dramatic Battle only)
Shadowloo Servitude [A](J.J.) LP,LP,F,LK,HP (Dramatic Battle only)
### Differences ###
The main difference between Juli & Juni (besides the names) is that Juni has
more moves, but has to charge to do most of them. But the two together are
almost equal. BTW, Juli is my favorite of the two ^_^.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Comparison: Ryu & Ken: The Ultimate Team
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Comparison of Regular Moves & Throws ###
Taunt Select
* When performed by Ryu, he quickly adjusts his gloves for the fight he is in,
kind of showing of his determination to win. When performed by Ken, he gives
you and the opponent a Thumbs-up sign, as if it's all a piece of cake.
Shoulder Throw (a) B/F + 2P
* When performed Ryu/Ken will through thier oppponents over thier shiould.
Exactly the same.
Back Throw (a w/ Ken ONLY) B/F + 2K
* When performed by Ryu, he will grab the opponent and quickly fall down on his
back releasing the opponent to the chosen side. When performed by Ken he will
start the same motion, but start rolling three times and then release the
opponent to a falling disaster.
### Comparison of Special Moves ###
Hadoken (Fireball) QCF + P
* Ken doesn't worry to much on firebballs, so because of that he still has the
same fireball he has had since Street Fighter 2. Ryu on the other hand depends
on this Ki Blast move and so has a stronger, larger version of the fireball.
Also with a better animation (IMHO)
Shakunetsu Hadoken (Red Fireball) HCF + P
* Since Ryu has the fireball as one of his well known signature move, the Red
Fireball is his "Special" special move. When perform, the same type of fireball
(as the regular fireball) will appear. Except it will be a more powerful, and
Red, ball of fire. When connected, it will knock down your opponent depending
on where and when it is thrown. Also Ken cannot perform this move.
Shoryuken (Dragon Punch) F,D,DF + P
* This is Ken "Special" special move. He has "perfected" it so much that when
he begings the punch's motion, flames begin to appear on his fist. Ryu on the
other hand has just made it another one of his short slow, but powerful moves.
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (a) QCB + K
(Hurricane Kick)
* When you perform this move with Ken, he does it very fast and not so hard so
he can get even more hits out of it. But with Ryu, he does less, but more
powerful hits immediately knocking your opponent down if connected.
Roll QCB + P
* Only Ken can perform this move
Fake Fireball QCF + Select
* Only Ryu can perform this move
Fake Roll QCF + Select
* Only Ken Can perform this move
### Comparison of Super Moves ###
Shinku Hadoken [A] QCFx2 + P
Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku [A] QCBx2 + K
Metsu Shoryuken (l3)[A] QCFx2 + K
Shin Shoryuken (l3)[A] QCFx2 + K (If elbow tip connects barely)
* Above is All Ryu Only *
Shoryu Reppa QCFx2 + P
Shinryuken QCFx2 + K (then K rapidly)
Shippu Jinraikyaku (l3) QCBx2 + K
* Above is All Ken Only *
### Differences ###
Basically, Ken has the upper advantage in combos than Ryu in SFA3. On the other
hand though, Ryu has the more powerful moves which make up in his lack of speed
at times. Which, therefore, brings me to the obviously conclusion that these
two fighters, buddies, companions, comrades, opponents, rivals, and friends are
EQUAL! There's no other way to say it, but they're just equal. Choose whoever
you want to choose. Even though Ryu has a cool Grey/Blue outfit and Ken has
that Sweet Super "Shinryuken."

~For a cheap victory you can advance towards the opponent and keep on tripping
till they're gone.
~With Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sakura, and Dan; try two-in-one combos for quick points
and to tap away your opponents life.
~(An old Street Fighter 2 Trick) For some characters they can easily be
defeated
just by jumping in one space. Here's how it goes:
1. At the start of the round immediately jump up with a hard kick.
2. As you land do a crouching hard kick
3. Then jump up again, but this time as your coming down do a hard kick
4. Repeat the above
This trick worked ALL the time for me in Super Street Fighter 2 & Street
Fighter 2 Turbo against Zangief. It should work for some of the other
characters in SFA3 too.

_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
* If you pull of a super move at the same time as you win the round, the screen
won't darken and there will be a 1-2 second delay in the game. Then the move
will be pulled off.
* Another Bug I found was that if you or the opponent pulls of a Super move and
at the same time you pull of a regular, special, or super move in the air you
might shift a little bit. Also another thing that may happen with two
simoutaneous Super moves is that the screen won't darken at all.
* Even more bugs. It seems that the color flash thing is a part of the whole
game. Here's an example. Say your about to start the first round in the fight.
The second your ready to move you get the immediate first hit. If you pause
quickly enough, you'll see that the whole screen is white! You'll barely be
able to see the three pause options (Continue, Configure, Exit). So that's just
on part of it.
* One time I was playing a Ryu vs. Gen battle and Gen began to perform his
Zanei super and I also simultaneously began to perform a Dragon punch, when the
two moves collided I hit Gen first. The weird thing was that when I hit Gen,
The Dragon Punch actually move more forward than Ryu can usually do, and it was
a medium strengthed Dragon Punch too!
* At times when I've played SFA3 and I perform a move with a character (usually
Dan) if it hits, then Dan will either completely turn red or white for a split
second. This may be because of him being on the opponents side of the screen
(where the opponents face is at the top) and when the opponent gets hit (on
fire, or what ever) the same will happen to your character (Dan in this case).
But at times it's happened when I'm on my own side of the screen. So what
gives?
* Here's another Ryu and Sagat Tid-Bit. If your in a heated battle playing as
Ryu (throwing nothing but fireballs), and Sagat suddenly throws his Tiger
Cannon super, depending on how close Ryu is (usually not to close), if Ryu gets
hit, it will only connect twice leaving the rest of the fireball passing Ryu!
Glitch, bug, or just part of these two's never ending battle?
* If you happen to be in a Ryu vs. Sagat fight then you'll be in for a
surprise. What I mean is that (depending on Sagat's ISM) Sagat will have a
different introductory before the first round. For example is your with X-ISM
Ryu (You can choose any ISM, it doesn't matter) and your versing an X-ISM
Sagat, Sagat will hold Dan in one of his throw stances and will do his
strongest Tiger Uppercut while the background flashes from black to white to
the regular background (It looks too good to be a special move). If Sagat is in
A-ISM he will just be very close to Ryu and then hop backwards. After that
he'll point out his scar which flashes for a quick second. Lastly in V-ISM,
just like in X-ISM, he'll hold Dan in a throwing stand. But instead of
upper-cutting the carp (yes carp :P) out of him, he'll just throw him away
(like the cruddy fighter he is...)
* For those of you wondering why I did Ryu/Evil Ryu instead of Ryu & Ken, well
it's because... I have no reason. In fact I'm considering doing a Ryu & Ken
movelist, but with only similarities in the "Differences" part. (*Already
Done*)
* Ryu's name is actually pronounced "Yuu." Unlike the American standards of
saying it like "rye-U" (Thanks to Dingo Jellybean). Also a few Capcom games
have voice actors say it right/correctly for you to hear. An example is Super
Street Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo.
* Whenever Karin does her "Mujinkyaku" move it sounds like she's saying
"Vegita." Now that sounds very un-alike. Also the word "Vegita" is the name of
the Saiyajin "Prince Vegita," his Father "King Vegita," and even the Saiyan
home planet "Vegita." All this is from the anime series of Dragon Ball Z.
(Wonder who'd win: Goku vs. Ryu & Vegita vs. Shin Akuma)
* For those of you wondering about the connection with Juli and T.Hawk, here's
the thing. If you watched the U.S. animated series "Street Fighter" (which
aired on the USA Network for about 3 seasons) then you would remember that
T.Hawk's Ex-Girlfriend was named "Julia" hence the name "Juli." The only thing
different besides the name is that "Julia" had some sort of robot armor and
could fly with it and wasn't under M. Bison's mind control. While "Juli" is a
C.C. (Carbon Copy) of Cammy and is under Bison's mind control.
* As for Cammy, her story is TOTALLY different. She was about 19 years old when
she and her two scientist parents were captured under M.Bison's Shadowloo
forces. It seemed that M.Bison wanted Cammy's parents to work for him, but they
refused. So they were killed and M.Bison made himself to be Cammy's new
"Guardian." Some guardian. He brain washed her and then trained her to become
her artificial soldier (and love slave).
* Another weird thing about the show was that Ken seemed financially unstable
and was never Eliza's boyfriend. When in fact he was dating Eliza and used his
family status to his own advantage.
* Hey, why are you sitting around for!? Don't you know that SFA3 is worth 20
Fighter's Edge Points!! Collect and use 'em while you can!
