whose brain-dead idea was it to have only 1 background and no arcade play in hsfa3? i swear, capcom can be so fucking retarded sometimes
They probably did that so the game can run quicker and not have to load before fights.
Also, you can set Player 2 to COM and fight against the cpu all you like. The only problem is the cpu doesn’t take advantage of the S-Isms. For example, Blue S-Ism cpu players don’t parry.
They’ve just released Zero collection you ungrateful bastard! You know how much time it would have taken for them to implement AI for the new grooves? chain combo’s, super cancels, parries, new moves. Also hyper alpha is an ‘unlockable’, it’s a little treat after you complete the main games. You can still play against the CPU anyway. And for the record there’s is more than one background and i’m not just talking about the pallette swapped one’s either.
This is the first decent capcom fighter for ages, it has the first arcade pefect ports of all the alpha games and it costs $30… just take a moment to think about that:wgrin:
Ok this a Q is for the import.
HAs anyone else had issues with the HDD install for this or Darkstalkers? both games get to about 97% and stops. I left it run all night and it was still stuck at 97%.
What gives?
Found out how the fight Akuma and Dan in Gem Fighter. Quick internet search and got the answers.
Akuma
Complete the following.
- Don’t lose a single round.
- Win at least 6 rounds with a Mighty Combo finish.
- For >=1 match, average time remaining must be >=80 (80000 pts).
- For >=1 match, average health remaining must be 128/144 (about 90%) or higher (25600 pts).
- At the end of >=1 round, all your special moves must be at LV3, while your opponent’s must all be at LV1.
Dan
Complete the following.
- For >=4 consecutive matches, don’t lose a single round.
- Win 5 or fewer rounds with a Mighty Combo finish.
- For >=3 matches, average time remaining must be >=60 (36000 pts).
- For >=3 matches, average health remaining must be 96/144 (about 75%) or higher (19200 pts).
- At the end of >=1 round (that you win?), all of your special moves must be at LV1, while your opponent’s must all be at LV3.
the game could easily handle different backgrounds. i’ve only seen swaps in the dozens of games i’ve played so the odd different background wouldn’t really mean anything.
i know you can manually select computer opponents, but why bother? oh, and the programming ai part makes no sense since you can obviously fight them in training mode. sure, it’s an “extra,” but it’s a waste of something new that is no fun for those playing solo
Ah ok, thanks. Is there any examples of this in SFAA??
Yeah that’s a big problem with those shitty ass SF Anniversary pads (not to mention the D-pad sucks). I hope they change that on the wireless ones, which have been delayed forever but I don’t plan on spending $50 on em anyway, I’ll wait for the inevitable price drop. I have a couple PS2 Saturn pads anyway. 
6-10 copies left at Bust buy in Denton for anyone in DFW having no luck finding a copy. None in the game stores though.
ok wtf is so special about the “marvel-ism”?
i know the 3s-ism, ce-ism and ds-ism have distinct characteristics. besides a few new moves wtf makes marvel-ism so different? i thought maybe i would get a dash
Been busy at work, haven’t had much time to play, but in the few minutes I’ve had I was unable to X-ism cancel with Cody: c.lp, c.lp, c.fp, mk ruffian kick. If I’m playing the default version of A3, this should be available from the get-go right? Thanks in advance.
Funny, i originally planned on getting HDloader before i heard about HDAdvance. On most sites i went too in my google searches, they’d said HDloader was discontinued, AND that HDadvance was a much more improved bootleg version of the program.
I could care less if its a bootleg, if its an improved upon/superior version of the original.
Also after looking on HDloader’s site www.hdloader.net, i see it still has flaws HDadvance does not, such as a maximum hard disk drive size of 120GB, does not support DVD-9 games,etc. Problems HDadvance does not have.
if you want to see an example, watch my vid, and watch what i do with Ken in the Blue Ism.

sigh… that site you linked to is the same deal, they’re selling you something that should be free. Also that isn’t the latest version, if you read the text at the top it says ‘faq last updated oct 2004…’. Go ahead and buy HDA if you want but you can’t tell people that it’s better because that’s simply not true. The latest HDL is version 0.7e and it has had a few patches over the last month or 2. It is the most compatible HD Booter, fact. Plus it’s free!
But ,again, it doesn’t work with SFZA so lets stop talking about it.
what version of ken has an air fireball? s ism? how do you unlock that stuff, through beating the game?
Red S-Ism. Select Ken, Select Alpha 3, Put the cursor on Classic, Hold start, press left, press X.
then dont post…lord
3s-ism adon has some tight stuff. auto qcb+k with a jump + any kick.
Adon does that in Xism as his regular Jump attack.
There are 3 backgrounds for HSFA. The cloud and cliff one from SFA3, the Waterfall from SFA2, and The Great Wall from SFA1. The ones from SFA1 and 3 have different colors available to them.
