Crouch cancels are in all ports of A3, except for the PSP version. Almost all V-ISM combos which work in the arcade version work on the console versions, but sometimes with different timing.
Kamui- I have the All About Street Fighter Zero 3 book, which has frame data in it. If you need help getting things up (no homo), I can help. I’m assuming we both have the same numbers, since the book is based on the Japanese arcade version.
Everybody please starting bugging Kamui for the dip switch settings.
haha, that’s cool. The chat server that you were on was mine. Believe it or not, it still exists. Ven still comes around, but BonusKun … haven’t seen him in several months. I think Final Fantasy swallowed him whole.
Ordered it off the net today. Sounds like a great guide for a slightly-casual fighting game fan like myself to start to get into the alpha games.
I’m most excited to learn alpha 2 - alpha 3 is a GREAT game, but for some reason I always found alpha 2 more fun…
EDIT: Is the SF:Aniversary Collection guide just as good as the AA one? I.e. does it include character specific strategies, combos, matchups, general strategies, etc, for a newbie to get into SF2 and SF3? Might get that one too.
I thought you couldn’t crouch cancel on the DC and PSX versions of A3? This is good news to here. By chance was it harder to CC on the console versions of A3?
Most definitely, it’s one of the better American fighting game guides out there. Plenty of combos. strats, matchups, terms, etc. It even has a decent artwork gallery, and comes with the 3rd Strike soundtrack CD to boot!
Oh snap. Kamui’s writing the guide? I HAVE to get that, even if I don’t actually buy the anthology (which I most likely will).
Wow. 288 pages? That’s enormous. Will this guide be the one to finally top the SFA2 guide for “best [US?] fighting game strategy ever”? Probably not, since you can’t beat 256 pages dedicated to one game vs. 288 dedicated to about 8. Still, it should be quite lovely to hold.
Hey Kamui, by any chance does the guide have damage/stun listings for all (normal/special/super) attacks like the CFJ one? I don’t care too much about frame data, but damage data would be nice. I thought that was one of the few things lacking in the SFAE guide, and was very glad to see it in CFJ.
I’ll be picking the guide up. Good to support authors from the scene, and the SFAC and CFJ guides were indeed well done.
My question… I’m interested in seeing a good A3 guide, but is there anything in this one that will make me forget my awesome Versus A1 and A2 guides? Can’t believe that a compilation guide could be better than the godly Versus SFA2 book, but is there anything new/unique to this new guide? My favorite video game ever (A2), so I’m interested in any tidbits on it…
Anyone pickup the guide yet?
ship date changed to the 16th…wont be out till end of june…
Kamui, just curious, did you write any other sf strategy guides?
Yeah i got into alpah all super late and only played some of the alpha’s. So im very pumped for this little treat too come in.
Good ish man. Thanks for all that info. I do have one question for ya. This is still kinda bugging me, but do you know if the US version is the same as the Jap version? I plan on getting the game and guide either way, but I would just llike to know for sure. Thanks :tup:
And on a different note, does anyone know where I can buy an A2 Versus Guide book? I’m a perfectionist and would like to collect as many SF gear as I can :wgrin:
If you had time, how would you have gotten the frame data?
Holy crap, it’s Dr. Deelite! 
does fighters.net handshake
Anyone who’s gonna be getting their guide from an online store, Amazon’s got it for 35% off the cover price.
What the fuck is the deal with this guides release date I’m seeing bradygames official date as June 13th ebgames says 16th and fuckin amazon says the 30th?
I was hoping to get the game and guide the same day if Kamui or Dr. Deelite could give me the official word from bradygames regarding ship date/release date it would be greatly appreciated.
Bradygames website says it’ll be avaliable on June 13th.
And this guide sounds like it’ll be tight!
I already pre-order the game so I might as well get this guide as well when I go pick it up this wednesday.
While we cut it close the guide should still be out with the game. Hopefully.
Amazon tends to have guides available later than game stores so DON’T BE SKEERED.
So I might get the guide a little later than most but hey that’s $7 more I will have to buy sushi.
