Street Fighter III

Street Fighter III (aka Street Fighter III: New Generation) is the true sequel to Street Fighter II (the games in the Street Fighter Alpha trilogy were prequels). It was updated twice (Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike), adding new fighters to the roster each time. This series introduced some new concepts to the Street Fighter series, such as parries and the ability to choose only one Super Art out of a selection to utilize during a fight. Last but not least, it featured a boss, Gill, who could not simply be mirror imaged when facing the other direction because he was one color on one half of his body, and another color on the other half.

The game was the first to make use of Capcom's CPS3 arcade hardware, an large upgrade from the previous CPS2 system that many Capcom Fighting games were developed on. The CPS3 system allowed for much larger sprites, with many more frames of animation, as well as hardware scaling that allowed the scene to be drawn up close when two fighter were near each other, and farther away when the fighters were apart. The result was some of the most fluid and impressive animation seen in an arcade at the time.

Street Fighter III depicts the events of the third World Fighting Tournament. Initially, Ryu and Ken were the only returning contestants, but fan demand brought Chun-Li and Akuma back in subsequent editions. A little older, wiser, and battle hardened, Ryu and Ken were up an entirely new cast of fighters. Some had ties to the older warriors, such as Sean who was Ken's student, and Yun and Yang who were the grandchildren of Gen. Others were completely new to the scene.

Alex

Alex is loosely based on professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. His pre-fight intro is similar to Hogan's trademark entrance. He wears green overalls as pants (straps down) and combat boots, green fighting gloves, and a red headband. He has a special intro with Hugo that resembles Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant.

As a Street Fighter III character, Alex has no official biography. All that is conclusively known about him is that he is an American from New York (given his accent, many assume Alex is from Brooklyn).

Alex entered the third World Warrior tournament because its sponsor, Gill, had seriously injured his best friend and father figure Tom, even though Tom had told him Gill had won fairly. Tom allowed him to go, letting him make his own decision. Alex won every match and then faced Gill. Although he defeated Gill, Alex did not have a chance to kill him, and he went home, to find Tom fully recovered.

Thoughts of revenge no longer clouding his mind, Alex encountered Ryu, who offered a match with him. When Ryu won, he encouraged Alex to hone his skills and seek out worthy opponents.

Personal Action

When you perform Alex's personal action (+) his attack power increases. If you hold down +, it will begin to increase even more at a steady rate, but after a certain point you cannot earn any more attack power. As an alternative, you can simply perform the taunt repeatedly and raise his attack power that way (it maxes out after four taunts).

Dudley

Little is known as Dudley and his past. He apparently comes from a wealthy British family, and was provided with a very good upbringing. His father was a successful athlete and businessman. Shortly after Dudley entered college, his father's business failed. His father's prized possession, his red Jaguar, was sold at an owner's auction, and the purchaser was Gill. Feeling his family's honor was stained, he sought to defeat Gill and win back his father's car.

Dudley has a distinct style of boxing that is not to be taken lightly. He treats fighting like any other sport, such as Tennis or Golf, and believes that it is best played by gentlemen. To Dudley, the grace and style with which one fights is just as important as strength. He maintains a neatly trimmed handle-bar mustache, and wears suspenders as he fights. He always breaks promptly for tea time, which is delivered to him by his butler by helicopter, no matter what he's involved with at the time or how serious it is.

Personal Action

When you perform Dudley's personal action (+), his attack power increases for all of his moves except throws. His Personal Action can hit, but if you attempt it immediately after throwing a rose, Dudley merely holds one up. In this case, he still gets his attack power increase, but he gets no SA gauge bonus for doing his Personal Action.

Elena

Elena is a princess of an East African nation that has a cultural tradition of fighting. Her fighting style is Capoeira which is of West African and Brazilian origin. The style utilizes her strong, long legs to execute dance-like moves and fancy legwork. Her father, chief of the region, is a witch doctor who also qualified in France for a doctorate degree in medicine. Elena's views of fighting and martial arts differ from most due to her light hearted personality allowing her to befriend some people and annoy others. She wants to travel around the world, meeting new friends along the way. She studied as an exchange student in Japan, where she met her best friend Narumi. She later continued those studies in France.

Elena has white hair, blue eyes, and dark skin. She is barefoot while fighting and has long, powerful legs. Her attire consists of a white two-piece bikini-like outfit with pale red, sky-blue, gold and purple bands on her neck, arms, wrists, shins, and ankles. Elena's fighting style consists entirely of kicks and leg throws, even when the player uses a punch button command. She is the only Street Fighter character to use only kicks, in opposition to Dudley and Balrog who only use punches. Elena is the only Street Fighter character who has the ability to use Healing, a Super Art which allows Elena to regain up to 1/3 of her life energy bar if given the opportunity. She is also the only African character in the Street Fighter series. Elena often greets her opponent at the beginning of a match with "Jambo!", Swahili for hello.

Personal Action

When you perform Elena's personal action (+), all of her attacks do more stun damage. You can taunt more than once to increase the amount of stun damage you do (after four taunts, you won't earn any more damage). Elena's personal action is both a low attack (when she sweeps her leg out), and it can hit somebody in the air when she lifts herself up.

Ibuki

Click here for more information about Ibuki's other fighting game appearances.

Ibuki is a young girl from Japan raised in a hidden ninja village and trained in the deadly arts of ninjutsu. She is slim and athletic, her black hair held tightly back in a topknot that drops behind her well beneath her waist. Unlike most other female ninja or kunoichi in videogames or anime, Ibuki's outfit is a more traditional type of ninja dogi, consisting of a sleeveless upper garment, baggy pants, arm guards and a mask that conceals the lower half of her face. Her footwear consists only of cloth bandages wrapped around her shins, ankles and instep. While she is a trained assassin, she also shows a "Valley girl"-ish side, stating that she finds her ninja clothes ugly and her daily training strange, and jumping back into her civilian clothing as soon as she wins a bout.

Ibuki lives in a village composed entirely of Ninja. She has been trained from childhood, but resents her lot in life. Ibuki was sent by her clan to procure documents from Gill's organization. These documents concerned the "G-File" project, which was responsible for creating Necro and Twelve. Gill voluntarily gave Ibuki the documents, though the project was already under way by that point. In 3rd Strike, Ibuki tracks down Oro to fight him for her ninja graduation exam. She fights well enough to pass, and moves on to go to a university. While there, she joins a club which, to her dismay, turns out to be based on ninja training. In Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Ibuki shares a special pre-fight intro with Makoto, showing that the two consider each other as a special rival of sorts. Ibuki has a pet tanuki named Don.

Personal Action

When you perform Ibuki's personal action (+), her attack power increases. Her personal action can hit somebody, and in fact she will only get an attack power increase if her personal action hits.

Ken

Click here for more information about Ken's other fighting game appearances.

After settling into married life for a couple of years, Ken entered the third Street Fighter tournament. By this time, a Brazilian teenager named Sean had been pestering him to become his student, and Ken reluctantly accepted, beginning to train him. He fought Sean and won against him in the tournament, however during the course of it, he drops out when realizing Ryu was defeated by Oro. Ken begins to train his son Mel in rudimentary fighting techniques. He also told Sean to go find Ryu and challenge him, giving him some free time with Eliza.

Though bored, Ken hears about a mysterious organization and goes to investigate, and may have confronted Urien. He does win his third straight U.S. Martial Arts tournament victory, which is a new record, and offers the trophy to Sean, although his student says he wishes to earn it for himself. He also learned that Ryu had sought him out and traveled all the way to New York from Oakland for their long-awaited rematch. Tossing some friendly jabs at each other, both have a good fight that Ryu wins. Since then, Ken has continued to train Sean and Mel, handle his family and business, and keep up with his old friend Ryu.

Personal Action

When you perform Ken's personal action (+), his attack power increases for all of his moves except throws. His personal action can hit twice, but do not combo.

Necro

Very little is actually known about Necro. He was originally a normal boy from Russia named Illia, who was kidnapped and experimented on by the Illuminati's "G-Project". The project that mutated him into Necro was the experiment that preceded the project to create T.W.E.L.V.E. Despite the torture and pain inflicted upon him during the mutation, he kept his good nature and humanity, and fought only for his survival and freedom.

While captured by the Illuminati, he met a girl named Effie, and they developed feelings for one another. Necro entered the third World Warrior tournament for a chance to fight and beat Gill for his freedom, but he was caught. However, his girlfriend Effie managed to save him, and they are now fugitives together. Effie is very devoted to Necro, and often mimics his actions at the end of each fight.

Due to the mutations inflicted upon Necro, he can stretch hims limbs in a manner very reminiscent of Dhalsim. However, he also has the ability to conduct electricity through his body much like Blanka. He is slow, but can almost be used with equal effectiveness up close and far away.

Personal Action

When you perform Necro's personal action (+), his attack power increases for all of his moves except throws (this includes his Snake Fang, German Suplex, and Slam Dance). His personal action can hit multiple times, and you can hold down HP+HK to make him keep flailing his tongue at you.

Oro

Oro is one of the most mysterious competitors in the third World Warrior tournament. Rumored to be around 140 years old, he seems to have mastered the ability to live so long through sheer force of will. He believes (probably with good cause) that he must keep one arm sealed at all times when fighting an opponent to keep from killing them accidently.

Oro is the master of a very arcane form of martial arts. He is very in-tune with the world around him that he has developed a limited form of telekinesis. So proficient is he in the art of fighting, that he seeks a worthy student to train, and has yet to find a single candidate. However, when he stumbles upon Ryu for the first time, he believes that he may have found such a student, and becomes eager to find him and challenge him again as soon as the tournament ends.

Personal Action

When you perform Oro's personal action (+), his stun gauge will lower a bit. If you hold +, he will continue to sleep and lose even more stun gauge power.

Ryu

Click here for more information about Ryu's other fighting game appearances.

An older and wiser man, Ryu is now at ease with himself and the concern he used to have over the possibility of Satsui no Hadou consuming his humanity. Ryu has never stopped training, and never stopped seeking strong opponents to do battle with. By the time the third World Warrior tournament rolls around, Ryu begins to wonder if he has reached the personal limits of his training, and if there is any point to his continued pursuit of becoming the ultimate warrior.

Through the events of the competition, including a rematch with friend and rival Ken, encountering the young and determined Alex, and gaining the respect and friendship of former gang member Hugo, Ryu is inspired anew. He begins to realize that the pursuit of becoming a better warrior needs no greater reason than his own enjoyment of it. His defeat at the hands of Oro impresses the old man so much, that he begins to consider whether or not Ryu is in fact the worthy student that he has been searching so long for.

Personal Action

When you perform Ryu's personal action (+), the rate at which his stun gauge empties will increase a bit. You can taunt up to three times to increase the rate at which his stun gauge goes down, but after that point, additional taunting won't do anything.

Sean

When Sean went to the US Martial Arts Tournament and saw Ken in action, he was determined to become his pupil. Ken rejected many of Sean's requests until he heard Sean was planning on entering the third World Warrior tournament. Over the course of a single year, Sean had been training under Ken for this tournament. When the tournament began, Sean had high hopes of winning, however he was beaten by Ken himself. Although skilled in his fighting style, Sean lacked the discipline and experience to make it too far as a fighter in the U.S. championship tournament. He was knocked out in the preliminaries. Despite this, he kept his big dreams of one day winning a tournament of his own, even turning down Ken's offer of the U.S. trophy, claiming he wanted to earn his own one day.

Despite the loss at the tournament, Sean continues to train with Ken, and it's possible he's also training alongside Ken's son, Mel. It is likely Sean is familiar with Ken's son, as well as his wife Eliza, and could very well be staying at their home for training purposes. Sean wears a yellow gi, similar to Ryu and Ken's with the sleeves removed at the shoulders. He fights barefooted and dons a black belt. He wears dreadlocks with the sides shaved off leaving only the top. He is an avid basketball fan.

Sean is often referred to as the "Dan Hibiki" of Street Fighter III since they both use modified versions of Ryu & Ken's traditional Special Moves. However, this comparison is questionable, as Dan is an intentionally ineffective joke character, whereas Sean is considered difficult to use, but still an effective character.

In 2nd Impact, Sean can link/combo his 3rd Super Art after some of his special moves. Though the super will do less damage, it will add a small amount of Stun to the opponent's Stun gauge. In 3rd Strike some of his moves, most notably his anti-air uppercut (Dragon Smash), were toned down in effectiveness. His overhead heel kick (Ryubi Kyaku) no longer paused before execution though, making it much more useful. Also in this third iteration, Sean was given many new standard attacks and two of his special moves were changed to feature all-new animation frames.

Personal Action

When you perform Sean's personal action (+), all of his attacks do more stun damage. You can taunt more than once to increase the amount of stun damage you do (after three taunts, you won't earn any more damage). His personal action can hit somebody (you can even use it to start combos), but if you try to throw another basketball after the first one was thrown, Sean will jump up and panic when no basketball comes down.
