Hello guys! I hope there are a lot of Street Fighter Alpha players here. I know its an old game and mostly known at arcades and at the Play Station but, SFA 3 ain't that bad, right? They even did a remake for the Play Station 2, right? Along with other games I think. Anyway, for those of you who enjoyed the game, who was, or is if your still playing it like I do, your best fighting character in the Street Fighter Alpha 3? I mostly faught with Ken in Yellow but I do also choose other characters with similar movements. How about you guys?

Cody, Because he is badass without trying to be one, I love his "I'm bored" attitude and he kicks people's butt with rocks and pipes. I dont use Ryu ,Ken and Chun-li because everyone are using them. Less people are using Cody so people have less strategies against him that's why I use him, I was able to make mind games with my opponent in the arcades, I use to use Sagat in Alpha 3 since I love Anti-heroes but I quit using him in Street Fighter 4 because he is over used. I also use Cammy because she have good footsies and she is very fast and agile. her speed is amazing and I love staring her.....

Final Fight - Final Fight? (??????????) is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up game originally released by Capcom as a coin-operated video game in 1989. It was the seventh game released by Capcom for their CP System arcade game hardware. The player takes control of one of three vigilantes who must rescue a kidnapped young woman from a ruthless street gang.
The game was originally conceived as a sequel to the original Street Fighter titled Street Fighter '89, but the title was changed before its release when the game's genre changed from a one-on-one competitive fighting game to a side-scrolling action game similar to Double Dragon or Golden Axe. Final Fight was ported to various platforms, such as the Super NES and Mega CD, since its original coin-op release.
Final Fight was followed by a series of sequels that were produced primarily for the home console market, and some of the game's characters would reappear in later Street Fighter games.
Hwoa.. it's been a long time since I started this discussion. Thanks for posting your thoughts none the less (^_^ ) As I remember, Cody is actually one of the playable characters of Capcom's Final Fight game. It was quite interesting that they included Guy first in the Alpha series when Cody was actually the main hero in the Final Fight game. Yeah, Cody is the only character in the Alpha series that has a knife ready in every round (^_^") Street Fighter 4 however is completely different from the Alpha series. I really liked the 3rd installment, but that was the last one that I got to play.

Street Fighter EX - Street Fighter EX is a head-to-head fighting game with 3D graphics, originally released as a coin-operated arcade game for the Sony ZN hardware in 1996. It is a spin-off of the Street Fighter series co-produced by Capcom with Arika and was the first game in the series to feature polygon graphics. It was followed by an updated arcade version titled Street Fighter EX Plus, as well as a PlayStation-exclusive home version titled Street Fighter EX Plus a, both released in 1997.
Oh my.. I didn't get notified that I got another response on this discussion (-_-") Good thing I checked again. There are fighting games that I just appreciate in 2D and there are those that I can appreciate in 3D. Seems like the frame rate of those in 2D are better since I can actually see the transition of movements while in 3D, it seems too fast that I couldn't see the transition anymore (^_^") However, Capcom was very good in making the transition from 2D to 3D. The first Street Fighter game that I got to play in 3D was Street Fighter EX which I think had three, and it had a lot of characters that I didn't see in the other Street Fighter series. With the Street Fighter 4, running on a better graphics engine, and also having new sets of playable characters, thought still a Street Fighter game, it has it's own distinct character that stands on its own. I also like playing it with my friends. I think they would only add very significant characters.. then again, I am not really sure if they would add those beatable characters in that Final Fight game. Perhaps a variation?

AT first I was hateful of Street fighter 4 but I learned to love it. I just don't like Ryu,Chun-li,E.Honda , Feilong and Sakura speaking English. I heard Capcom will try to put Street fighter in hiatus for a while because they will try to revive Darkstalkers (Its the game where Morrigan came from, It has monsters as characters and has fatalities like Mortal Kombat) There is a movement in Capcom Messageboards to put Poison in Street Fighter just because they think "she" is hot. They didnt even know Poison is a Guy. The characters who didnt get to comeback in Super Street Fighter Iv were rumored to appear in Tekken X Street Fighter (the concept still feels weird for me since both games have different gameplay)

I use Ken Masters most times. Vega is pretty cool too. My bro is fond of Shin Akuma, Yun and Eagle (all found on the PSP)

I tend to mix up Balrog, Vega and M. Bison ^_^; Yeah, there are a lot of new characters in the PSP release but I still do that game with Ken Masters. Sometimes, I'd try Charlie but its really hard to do his Special Moves.
