Alpha 3 tiers?

well, I never played SFZ3 on cabinet[sp], so i guess Dee Jay and Fei Long aren’t in the cade version?

Nope. Neither is T.Hawk. Kind of makes me want to break out my SNES and Super Street Fighter 2…

Damn it, and Im a Dee Jay player…

I hear that in SFZ3Upper (arcade version based off the home versions) you could play as new challengers (DJ and the gang)…

But I think I remember that they were all jacked up. For example: Instead of have the fatest projectile recovery in the game, DJ has the LONGEST!

Or something like that… can anyone confirm?

In any case, even if Upper was the standard by which everyone went by, you STILL wouldn’t have a proper console version to practice on. :confused: It doesn’t even have crouch cancels…

Thats a good thing

There are old threads about upper, just search for them.

char tier from alpha3 upper???

Alpha 3 Upper TIER

S rank :
V-Shin gouki

A++ rank :
V-Gouki
V-Deejay (most boring character in the game )

A rank :
V-Sakura
V-Ryu
V-Gief

Then you don’t need any other character tier ,since it really depends on the skill you got ( Kiyo playing Guy makes me think guy is S rank :looney:

V Shin Gouki is seriously worse than regualr V Gouki. Shin’s moves have very little or no recovery time, so VC’s dont work near anywhere a well as they would. SRK recovery time is practically non existent so the opponent would be able to flip right after you landed, and the fireball also has near zero recovery time on it as well. A-Ism Shin gouki is a different thing, though; double air fireball->st roundhouse->Shun goku satsu is just cool, nd it IS an actual combo (18 hits).

Of course, this is shin Gouki we are talking about, so it really doesnt matter…

Hmm… still very debatable in order to know which version are the best (i really think his V are still the same ? ) , the double gadou in air is really retarded … and should be banned even for casual matches .
Also , I am still thinking about Shin Bison : I think he is also S rank , but excepted a monstruous Super Psycho crusher (especially Lv3) and a good j.HP and HP , is he really strong ?
I think he is also S tier just second to Shin gouki , but I may be wrong ??

Could good players tell me about X Shin Bison’s strenght ? what would be a good grade to him ? thanks in advance !!

They raped his projectile in Upper, right ? That was a huge part of his game in the PSX/DC version, where he truly was top tier material. But without it …

Sorry , but I meant Dreamcast mode .
Upper is PSP mode ???Isn’t it the dc also ?
I am wrong then , bah I don’t know to which version upper refers to .
So many port of alpha lol ^^

w/ about ingrid?

Can I have some more in depth info on the tier ranking of Gen?

Stupid scrub question If I don’t use v-ism who is the best person to beat a

z-ism chun li using only fierce punch to juggle…and maybe fierce kick and few of her other ho moves… man she’s fast…

my friend bet me money I couldn’t beat him without using a v-ism chara… otherwise I would just gouki him… I can beat him with zism sakura but it’s hard work

please answer my scrub question of the week?

A-guy or X-Rolento

thanks hen but, ahw crap I’m pretty tired I got the i-sims mixed up

I can use x-ism and z-ism but not v-ism gouki… :frowning:

x-rol didn’t work he dizzyed me… and I can’t beat him in the air… he either uses med kick or fierce punch to juggle… walks right under you and juggles with fierce punch or breaks your guard

I use rolls and slide a lot and try and build a rythm with his stick moves but a walking toward standing fierce breaks my game.

There’s 2 arcade versions

The CPS2 version which is just vanilla A3 and doesnt include any of the new challengers

And the Naomi version which has Hawk,Fei,Deejay,Guile etc and all the gameplay adjustments like removed crouch cancels and nerfed vc activation invincibility, this is the one noone likes

zangief or ryu

Shotos work well against jumping MK BS. A-Gief is one of the few characters with a better air game than Chun’, and there’s always A/X-Sim’ as well. If none of those work, A-Vega is really easy to be random with.
