| ===Extra ISM-Pluses===
| | </big> |
| There are twenty-six ISM-Pluses across Alpha 3's ports. The first 13 are in the PS1/Saturn versions of World Tour Mode. 12 more were added in the Dreamcast port's revamped version of World Tour Mode, as well as rewards for completing extra game modes. Examples include Arcade, Reverse Dramatic Battle, Dreamcast-only local challenges via Saikyo Dojo Mode, and various Survival Mode challenges. The final one is a reward in the PSP port, Alpha 3 MAX, for completing World Tour's Gokuentou fights (and available by default in JP Dreamcast's "For Matching Service" edition). Only Alpha 3 MAX (and JP Matching Service) contains Edit Mode, which allows you to create a fighter with custom stats and ISM-Pluses, without playing through World Tour Mode.

| |
| | |
| # '''Alpha Combo:''' Described as "multi-hit attacks" in-game, all Light and Medium Normals , similar to Alpha 1, but with tighter timing. Command Normals and Heavy Normals can be considered chain enders, and are not chainable.
| |
| # '''Alpha Cancel:''' All Normals can be cancelled into Special Moves, even if the attack whiffs. In-game description does not note that this also includes Super Moves.
| |
| # '''Super Alpha Cancel:''' All Special Moves can be cancelled into Super Moves.
| |
| # '''Super Guard:''' You will not receive damage when you guard against Special, or Super Moves.

| |
| # '''Air Guard:''' Gives the ability to block in the air (outside of anti-airs and certain specials/supers), which is already a default function of A-ISM and V-ISM, essentially making this ISM-Plus only useful with X-ISM.

| |
| # '''Super Combo Gauge Plus / Gauge Plus:''' Causes your Super Gauge to slowly increase, and doubles the increase given for attacks and blocks.

| |
| # '''Damage Plus:''' Adds extra damage to all of your attacks.

| |
| # '''Custom Combo Charger / Original Combo Master:''' Combines Custom/Original Combo ISM-Plus with Super Combo Gauge Plus
| |
| # '''Alpha Power / Technical Attack:''' Combines the Alpha Combo and Alpha Cancel abilities.
| |
| # '''Super Alpha Power / Technical Mania:''' Combines the Alpha Combo and Super Alpha Cancel abilities.
| |
| # '''Supreme Alpha Power / Super Attack:''' Combines the Super Alpha Cancel and Alpha Cancel abilites.
| |
| # '''∞ Auto Guard:''' Combines ∞ Guard with Auto Guard.
| |
| # '''SC Gauge Recover / Mach Gauge:''' A boosted version of Super Combo Gauge Plus.
| |
| # '''Overall Power Up / Limit Off:''' You deal, and take more damage.
| |
| # '''Multiple Taunt:''' Like Dan, you can now taunt more than once per fight.
| |
| # '''Air Chain Combo:''' Air Normals become chain-cancellable on hit/block.
