The Lost Completely Different Street Fighter 3 - Gaming History Secrets 

I remember, after Street Fighter 3 came out already, I was hanging out at the arcade in the mall and a guy approached me asking if I wanted to be a part of a focus group and answer some questions. I, of course, went and me and, like, 5 other guys were led to this small room with a table and they asked us a bunch of questions mainly about Street Fighter. They asked if we wanted a new Street Fighter. They wanted to know what other fighting games we played. But most of all I remember them asking if we wanted a new Street Fighter to be 3D or 2D. I was adamant about wanting it to be 2D. I remember feeling a little upset because several of the others said no new Street Fighter and wanted it to be like Tekken and for them to have swords and guns. I was paid something, I think it was like $5. I'm glad Capcom didn't listen to those other guys.

I wonder what MK would look like with today's technology if it was made with 4k digitized picture sprites

Shen Long looks like a divorced dad. A powerful one.

I remember back in the 90s there were rumors that Street Fighter EX was also at one point considered the be Street Fighter III but during its development they changed the name. Not sure how true this is though I guess the only way to be sure would be to see an original design document for EX. This does happen often however if you look at the design documents for Final Fight they say Street Fighter II on them.

I seem to remember that as a kid I played Street Fighter, The Movie, The Game (such a cumbersome title)in my local GAME store. I think in the story mode Guile was the only playable character and I remember completely wrecking the A.I. Not sure if the A.I was bad but I had people watching me and felt pretty awesome at the time. I kind of thought that Street Fighter Alpha was the unofficial Street Fighter 3.

The cast in Alpha 3 was far better, but 3rd Impact has laser precise mechanics. So good, both of them!

"You must defeat Top Hat Gaming to stand a chance" good luck with that

SF3NG had 4 different Parry Systems. You could bounce off Air Parrying Hadokens so far that you could cross up an opponent.

Third Strike is my all time favorite Street Fighter game. And I've been playing since part 2

The interview where it is said that if an SF3 is being made it will be very big is a very true statement, Capcom Japan would never allow a big number on a series to be created by a 3rd party or even by Capcom USA they simply wouldn't allow it to happen. So this whole ordeal is just made up by fans with wild imaginations. When the west subsidiary of the company takes leads on projects that are not sanctioned by its Japan overlords, something similar to the Sega Phenomenon happens.

Typical that some of the japanese devs would deflect blame

what's ironic is that even though this game (the arcade version specifically) is considered subpar by street fighter standard and a Mortal Kombat wannabe, it is more innovative and actually plays better than any of the digitized MK games. a lot of fighting game standards have their roots in this game, EX moves, OTGs, juggle launchers, heck there's even a sub system that allows you to recover a few health in exchange for super bar.

When anyone says Ernie Reyes I instantly think of the movie Surf Ninjas.

OMG all I wanted was to see some footage of this lost sf3, I'm scanning through and can't find anything.

Honestly I feel that someone must have said street fighter 3 at some point for members of the team to think that even if it was not approved

that's true, i hated the game when I first played it in the arcades and I owned all the dreamcast versions even the japanese ones but it was hard to play online.

The description of Sheng long sounds 🔥

Sheng Long was gonna be Trogdor with a beefy dragon arm...and maybe some burnination!

This was my introduction to Street Fighter and it made me hate Street Fighter as a kid.

Street Fighter: The Game: The Movie: The Game was done so dirty while being genuinely game and looking more smooth than MK at the time.

The "Lost "SF3 was never going to be SF3. It was going to be Street Fighter the Movie : The Game. The people they got to do it wasn't part of capcom. CPS-3 Couldn't handle Digital Graphics. The people were told "Your going to be working on 'the newest street fighter game' " They thought it was SF3. The guys at capcom said "This is the first i'm hearing about it" (this was like 18 years later) They had a REALLY hard time getting all of the actors for Street Fighter The movie to come to the studio to be scanned, it took way longer than it should have, and YES Shen Long was Approved, and the Footage was recorded. But they simplely did not have the time, Like i said it took them MONTHS to get all of the actors in there to be scanned with Dalsam not even choosing to come in, The Production for the Movie was a Nightmare, if you google it im sure you can look up all of the issues they had in Thailand.

Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha was the best but somehow slipped over. D. Dark was epic.

Is it me or is the video glitchy?

I saw this. My friends didn't believe me

Thanks

Nice steam

Gotetsu not Gosetsu

I want a movie based on Street Fighter: the movie: the game. It could be called Street Fighter the Movie the Game the Movie. And then make a game out of that called Street Fighter the Movie the Game the Movie the Game.

🎉

The console version is better, and the gameplay is very very simillar to SF2 Turbo. I wonder if it was kind of a base for the cancelled/transformed SF3.

Charley turned into Blanka?

The "real life" art style spawned by Mortal Kombat actually was popular only in USA. Gamers outside of USA especially in Asia feel that it looks so funny and lame. They only play Mortal Kombat because of the gore and laughs. No one in Asia really thought Mortal Kombat was really a high end fighting game, it was a graphically violent game for dorks. I can see why the Japanese team reacted on this game development and be like "Dafuq is this shit...

Lo que 💩Street Figther III fue lo de solo poder usar un súper art🙄

yaaaaaaaaa

I've never been a fan of digitized actors in games. Moreover, I couldn't stand Mortal Kombat and the blood and dismemberment of Fatalities, and was annoyed by all the hyped fans over that heaping pile of garbage. Even a few of my brothers loved it and tried to get me "used" to playing it so I would abandon SF2, but that was short lived. After a couple of weeks of playing MK, it just wasn't fun. The combo system and move sets were wonky, the stages were ugly and gave a Satanic vibe, and the blood and dismemberment was disgusting, and yet so many people drank that s*** up like it was a gift from the gods. I also gave Killer Instinct a shot under pressure from one brother, and while I did play that on longer, like maybe a month, it was still wonky enough and it seemed to me like it was trying to win fans from SF and MK over by somewhat meshing them together. I got good enough with KI to where I kept beating my brothers relentlessly with every character in the roster, so they stopped playing with me claiming I needed to get a life (as if practicing combos was a bad thing). I didn't stick with KI because it just really didn't appeal to me, and in some of the same ways MK didn't appeal to me, especially if I would have had to play it by myself. It was like a peanut-butter, jelly, and s*** sandwich. I liked peanut-butter,, I liked jelly, but not the s***. So needless to say, I abandoned KI and went right back to SF2. At least that was an enjoyable enough game to play, whether I was playing by myself or with someone, even though the computer was a freaking cheater. Lol.

Glad that the Yankees got laughed at with their little silly project. Digitized graphic over pixel art? That's rich.

Yeah, too bad we got rubbish instead of a REAL SF3!

I'm sure they were disgusted

It's Street Fighter the movie 🎥 the game, not Street Fighter 3

Am I the only one that found Mortal Kombat's graphics then ugly?

Who is writing your titles?

SF the Movie it was a good example of a shitty game!

This game isnt lost bro.

I was never a fan of motion capture characters, as they look cheap to me, and prefer the drawn ones. The costumes weren’t as cool or sexy either. Chun-Li without thick legs and pantyhose looks weird. Same with looks for the other characters.

I love street fighter 3 first strike, so good

Mortal Kombat was a gimmicky pile of crap compared to SF2. The Japanese knew this and were annoyed that thier game was now taking direction from MK

🧢

i think street fighter needs a whole new presentation the ugly 3d plasticine has run its course now id love to see a new game thats completely out the box

First

Not a fan of Street Fighter 3 outside of Chun-Li in 3rd Strike. The character designs stink + all the line-scrolling was removed from stage floors despite running on new and superior hardware!? I MUCH prefer Street Fighter 4 and it's updates but that Chun-Li SF3 3rd Strike sprite is just SO well done 😎👍

i hate click bait titles

Picture of braided Blanka = clickbait. ::downvotes::

It's better than this garbage today leagues above the current version at least this is a real Street fighter and not a circus and that's an insult to the circus that has talent unlike anything today's whatever tries to produce

Too much babbling no showing.
