Now Viewing: street_fighter_iiiTag type: Copyright Street Fighter III (ストリートファイターⅢ) is a game in Capcom's Street Fighter series of head-to-head fighting games, originally released as coin-operated arcade games. The game was originally released in 1997 with Street Fighter III - New Generation, followed by an updated version released less than a year later titled Street Fighter III 2nd Impact - Giant Attack (ストリートファイターⅢ セカンドインパクト)—which introduced new features and characters—and a third installment, titled Street Fighter III 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future (ストリートファイターⅢ サードストライク), released for the arcades in 1999. The Street Fighter III games were produced for the CD-ROM-based CPS III hardware, which allowed for more elaborate 2D graphics than the CPS II-based Street Fighter Alpha games (the previous incarnation of the Street Fighter series), while revamping many of the recurring game-play features. The game, which was designed as a direct sequel to Street Fighter II, initially discarded every previous character except for Ryu and Ken (hence the "New Generation" subtitle), introducing an all new character roster led by Alex. Likewise, a new antagonist named Gill took over M. Bison's role from the previous games as the new boss character. Street fighter 3 also introduced a parry system. If a player has good enough timing, a character can parry his/her opponent's attack, receiving no damage and opening the opponent for a counterattack; blocking reduces damage but does not eliminate it. The SFIII games are known for having much more detailed sprite animation than past SF games. Each character is made up of 700-1200 individually drawn animation frames. The games also run a 60 frames per second. Although the game initially was not very successful, it, especially Third Strike, has over time grown immensely popular amongst tourney players and some of its original characters have developed strong fan bases. Third Strike is unique amongst Street Fighter games in featuring a hip hop and jazz heavy soundtrack. The rap songs are performed by Canadian rapper Infinite. The game's music is also unique in that the stage music changes with each round so all of the stage themes have 2-3 parts.
