help Street Fighter III FAQ
Why are most Street Fighter II characters missing from Street Fighter III?
Capcom built New Generation around a largely new roster, retaining only Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter II. Alex became the principal new hero, while Gill replaced M. Bison as the central antagonist.
How does parrying work in Street Fighter III: New Generation?
Tapping toward an incoming attack at the correct moment deflects it without normal block damage. Low attacks require a downward input, making parries powerful but dependent on timing and correctly reading the opponent.
Can I play the original New Generation on Dreamcast?
Yes, but it is packaged with Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact in Street Fighter III: Double Impact. That Dreamcast compilation is distinct from the later and more widely known Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
What changed between New Generation and 2nd Impact?
2nd Impact added characters including Hugo, Urien and Akuma, plus mechanical revisions and new stages. It was Capcom's first follow-up to the 1997 arcade release, before 3rd Strike expanded the roster again in 1999.
