Alpha 3: Q & A

I found out Ryu’s other crouch cancel, posting it up in here for posterity.

jump toward mk, jump back mk.That’s about it. Seems like a pain to get out, though, maybe I’ll just make sure I always get the P1 side :lol:

V-Sakura is top-tier because she’s powerful and easy to use. Abuse B+fierce and S.roundhouse. Her b&B (j.forward cross, c.short, c.jab,s.short, fierce dragon ) does too much damage and set-ups nicely for repeat.

Her easiest VC is VC1 (jab+short) jab dragon (anti-air) [B+fierce, whiff foward hurricane] to corner then S.fierce, whiff fireball, end with dragon punch + kick. When you get this down 100% you can start swapping in s.fierces for more damage and you can whiff short hurricanes to control distance too.

I have a Sagat question. Does anyone know how to do infinite into and out of corner? looks like a j.short, maybe vertical j.strong? but i’d love to know how, anyone know?

sub

do u want a rec or just explanation?

both please if thats not too much trouble.

sub

don’t worry i figured it out.

the moves i listed are right It’s p2 only.

I thought it was different for each character?

There are basic rules. (Doesn’t chen have a guide on this?)

but some characters have different rules. Like Karin for example. once start goes into specials, that’s ALL she can cancel into.

v-vega strats plz

Can someone plz give me some general strats with v-vega? Not vc’s, but just the best way to play with him and what moves to use and such.

thx

Yes theres a JChen SFA3 systems guide on GameFAQs.com you can find all the answers there.

Help me

Can some give me the site to d/l Street Fighter 3 alpha or any other Street Fighter games? ty i have Mame alrdy

You sir, just broke the rules

How?

What did i do?

You can’t ask for ROMs.

It’s illegal and against the rules. you’ll have to find them on your own buddy! :slight_smile:

lol opps

Sorry o well thx… for nuthiN! lol j/k :stuck_out_tongue:

M.Bison

I know he’s low tiered, but why? he has a long slide move, he had a strong rangy fierce, and strong roundhouse he seems pretty good up close, and he can stop air attacks decently well I just don’t understand why he is 3rd tier, but thenagain I suck

sobs I can’t get Sagat’s VC to work for the life of me. At all. It’s heart breaking :frowning:

I’ve been told it’s either VC2 or VC3.

I’ve done roundhouse Tiger Knee through fireballs, but they always land outside of s.hp range. Even if I land it, then roundhouse Tiger Knee, the knee hits and pushes them out of s.hp range. I’m guessing I need to switch in a forward Tiger Knee instead.

I’ve also tried VC2 & 3 doing just activate, Tiger Uppercut (lp or hp) in the corner, then doing s.hp, whiff RH Tiger Shot xN. VC3 jab TU doesn’t work at all. They fall too low for the s.hp to hit.

Either way… is there any good Japanese V-Sagat players, or American for that matter that I can watch do this? I learn much better from watching and doing rather than reading :confused:

Bison is not low-tier. He’s high mid-tier at best. I don’t know too much about him, but his s. forward is one of the best ground pokes I’ve seen, and A-Bison’s Lv3 Psycho Crusher wipes out half a life bar with minimum effort, especially when used as an anti-air.

For V-Sagat’s VC’s, check out the Alpha 3 kawaks replays thread. I think there’s a replay of V-Sagat there.

M.Bison

yeah he is my second favorite character I wish he had both the missile attack and his psycho crusher at once or maybe use of his final Balrog"Bison" mode because he would actually maybe be in a higher tier, and I don’t think he is good enough even like that 2 be overly cheap oh well, I’ll use him, and Balrog despite

Dee-Jay

why doesn’t anyone put Dee-Jay in the tiers for alpha 3? Is he not in the arcade version or something? Because I dunno if this is just me but I would guess people could make him good enough 2 be second tier if he was in the game, but he is never ranked

if the console version of deejay was in regular a3 in arcade, he would be top tier for sure IMO. hes in z3upper, but that dont count and he was badly raped.

Dee-Jay

thx whats the difference between a3upper? and the normal a3?

Dee-Jay

Saturn and DC Dee Jay seem to be the same, except in the Sat version Dee Jay has the fastest whiffed throw in the game, and he recovers quicker after his punch throw. In Z3Upper, his air slasher (aka max out…projectile) went from being the projectile with the absolute least recovery time, to the one with the most (perhaps tied with Bison’s Psycho Shot). Also crouch cancels are gone, but that’s because they’re gone in Z3U altogether. Wouldn’t know about priority differences.
