The Alpha games are my fave Street Fighter titles of all time (even more than SF2: Hyper Fighting and SSF2 Turbo). SFA2 & 3 get regular play in both my Saturn and DC. I totally agree with u about the DC controller being awkward for fighting games. I use the Agetec stick for DC fighters and the Virtua Stick for Saturn brawlers. The Saturn has a nice pad (S Controller) which at least gives u some viable options for beat 'em ups, but when it comes to fighters the Dreamcast pad is as unwieldly to use as the Gamecube's.
Saturn really only suffers from the lack of transparency, but in return they took advantage of that and gave the port a more arcade-esque appearance since the original used faux transparency as well so it makes for the perfect arcade port especially given the extra animations it shares with it and the Saturn's fighting pad is far superior. Not only do they have an actual arcade stick peripheral available, but their own controller still has a six-button layout so it's unarguably more easier to play. Hell, their controller has two extra buttons so you can use taunts and fight with all the punches and kicks. Oh, the D-Pad; that is actually the most important part of the game. And again, the Saturn triumphs for using the classic SEGA D-Pad for the last time, and for a game like Street Fighter it is PERFECT for executing combos. Though my personal favorite is using the 3D pad due to it having buttons that are evenly convex, nicer triggers, comfortable grip and a flexible D-Pad. Their 3D pad is basically the Dreamcast's pad but with more buttons and comfort. Their joystick even feels nicer, for the games that did use it; mostly due to it being concave so your finger stays on it. Overall, despite the high price I would recommend buying the Saturn port. And I would hurry on that too, because prices might inflate again soon and within a few more years it could reach the range of Hyper Duel! So do not miss out on adding this to your collection, for it is probably the best Street Fighter in the whole franchise and it's arcade perfect. The only other system that did it just as well was the final port on the PSP, and you could hook that thing up to your TV with component so I guess it would look better too. However, the pad on that thing is weak and two-player is impossible unless someone else owns the game and a PSP themselves.
Well yeah the saturn controller is the best fight pad ever. They have a dream cast adapter for saturn to dreamcast you know. Also they had a PS2 version of the saturn pad and a PC version. The PC version works on the PS3 also.
mrdante361 1) Dreamcast Adapter is really expensive. 2) Extremely rare, thus really expensive too. 3) Probably not that good; RetroLink BUTCHERED the N64 D-Pad with its tightness and for fighting games it's impossible, I imagine the Saturn D-Pad suffered a similar fate.
What is retrolink? I have 4 saturn to dreamcast adapters and they were like 10 bucks back then. All the saturn usb pads I own are originals with Sega logo and are from SLS. They are perfect controllers I bought 20 of them a few years back in double packs off Ebay. I gave them to friends for street fighter IV and have back ups in case anything happens.
there is no reason to choose the saturn version (not bad at all) if you can pick up this one, dreamcast was a perfect 1:1 arcade home machine, plus alpha 3 for dreamcast has lot more features.
JayClay Unfortunately the Dreamcast port was not arcade perfect (Saturn port had more animations) and there are a lot of players out there who prefer the Saturn D-Pad ;-) Check out Game Sacks comparison video.
iPLAY SEGA!! The DC version is excellent. It used only a small amount of Dreamcast's memory output. The Saturn was arcade perfect. But the port came at the end of its life in Japan with the 4MB cart. All PS1 2D Arcade ports are SHIT. And people are DUMB for playing them and preferring them over Dreamcast. Seriously, who the hell would prefer low end ports over co-op?
lightsouthaha The Dreamcast version has faster framespeeds,more colors,more balanced controls than the Saturn version. The Saturn version is 100X times superior to the crappy low quality PS1 version, it has better animation,faster speed,more colors,faster load times. Compared to the DC version, the Saturn version has slightly more animations(hence the required 4MB RAM Cart).
I used to own this for the DC and it was beautiful. Agree about the DC controller - half the time I'd try to walk back or forward I'd end up jumping in those directions.
I see there's an adapter that allows you to use your Saturn controllers on the Dreamcast. It's called Total Control 3, costs around $20. My hands cramp up at the thought of using a DC joypad for Capcom fighters, so this is a godsend. Good Lord, there are so many good fighting games on Saturn and DC.
The Dreamcast is the same generation as the PS2. The Sega Saturn was way ahead of its time. It was not popular in europe and usa, but for me it has a lot of games that are outstanding. Checkout the videos here on youtube about the Sega Saturn. InecomCompany had made a whole week about Saturn games, check his videos too!
@Destroyificator I stand corrected. That being said, at least Capcom didn't re-release/upgrade any of the Alpha series in the arcade. Throughout most of the 1990's, Capcom kept rehashing the same six or seven games. So my inaccuracy is at least understandable. :)
Capcom should of continue making games for the Dreamcast, it was a great system, but Sega gaved up the battle very soon, also it was expensive to make.
This is still one of my favorite fighting games (though I have the PS1 version). Mostly due to World Tour. They should put that in Super Ultra Street Fighter 4: Omega Edition
There were a lot of great DC games that sadly were never re-release (Power Stone 1-2, Plasma Sword, Project Justice, Cannon Spike, and Giga-Wing 1-2). Strange but most of them were Capcom games.
That's fine but Power Stone 2 is one of those multi-players that's best when played with buddies in the same room instead of strangers online. You could play it online but that would rob it of the Arcade-like experience it offers.
This is the ultimate version of SFA3. I owned it yrs ago. I plan to get a Dreamcast system and games again. The only issue I had with this version was with the controller. I always wished I could use my Sega Saturn six button controller with it.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 was a terrific fighting game of cartoon-like sprites duking it out. This game ported well to the PSP handheld for fun mobile punch-outs.
You should buy a Dreamcast no matter what. I was in past also focused on Ps consoles, but because i don't know the big game library of the dreamcast and previous sega consoles. The Dreamcast is the best Console is its generation for me. Even better than the Gamcube
I want to know what Mark thinks. Saturn vs Dreamcast video please! I love them both but I'm more of a Saturn fan, both have great arcade games but the Saturns library just takes the cake for me. Not to mention the 2 best controllers on the planet, the Model 2 and 3D pads.
@BlayzedBlue I know this version of SFA3 doesn't have online versus mode but there is another version (Japan only) of this game with the legend "For Matching Service" that is playable online (or was). Same for the other Capcom fighting games with the "For Matching Service" label like Vampire Chronicle and SSFIIX. Of course, this was only in Japan.
SFA3 is my most favorite SF game! Love the World Tour mode and the Dreamcast version was the BEST! Especially with the Ascii Fighter Pad FT controllers! Sweet sweet SF goodness!
everyone has got their own fav version of street fighter mine is this one on Sega Dreamcast. i liked the whole double character on screen thing it made for a good co-op system and multi player
@Terramax ok i see your point.. but still.. this is the definet version of street fighter zero 3 i think its worth it... in any case suppose i was willing to donate to you guys to review how long would it take to get it back???
To be honest Capcom always has made a great coding job, when Street Fighter came out, there was a huge difference between Arcade games and Home console games, like day and night, and they did such an awesome job porting it to a lot of 16 bit consoles.. you didn't miss that much while playing it at home.. obviously the controller and that stuff, but unlike other game ports of the era, that one actually felt like if you where playing the same game at home and in the arcades.
@Koops2245 I think its, (first to last in storyline) Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha Series, Street Fighter 2 Series, Street Fighter 4 Series, and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
games like this, marvel vs capcom 2, power stone 1+2, tech romancer, giga wing 1+2, street fighter III: 3rd strike, gunbird 2, and a ton of others make it worthwhile investing in a pc with a little more 'whazzamm' for your mame cabinet, mame is great, but the dreamcast basically took what made arcade games awesome, and enhanced their visuals and audio beyond epic, and added tons of new modes and extra content
@outsideredge im sure u can buy that some where have u looked on ebay ? or try gamestop .. they have alot of great ps2 games just getting dusty on the shelf ...
It feels good to hear another opinion of the controller because it's that terrible. I rarely get frustrated with a PS3-controller because you actually do the moves you want. But with the Dreamcast I feel lucky when I get the moves out one time out of five. It's also an art to walk without jumping or switch Gen's fighting styles by pressing all three punchs or kicks. Maybe I get this on the PS1, sigh.
@aerialdude the new SF games are fantastic, but l too miss the 'World Tour' mode, it just adds that extra challenge to the player, like for one match your not allowed to perform special moves, throws can only do damage, and your opponent has X2 power etc.
I love that they brought the Zero/Alpha series to the PSN, butt I have a hard time playing it because I have to use the d-pad. Does anyone know how to use the stick buttons or has the same problems?
That is awesome how, he had another version of this video, but he said Cody was from a SNK game, but he corrected it in this one, by saying he is a Final Fight character.
It would be cool if someone ported Gran Turismo 3 to the dreamcast. I bet it would work, maybe with an exception of slight lagging. The polygons are much bigger in GT3 compared to GT4!
im going to get this game!!! my question is what would u guys recommend? a ps1 copy and play it on my ps3 comfortly,wireless!, and of course nice controller for fighting games...or i got a dreamcast and can get it for it instead! i pros i see for dreamcast is better graphics compared to ps1 and better port i believe........what u guys think?
The SATURN version of this,which was only a Jap' release so was called 'ZERO 3 was my favourite 2d fighter on the SATURN which is saying something because all of CAPCOMS SATURN fighters were awesome.
Good Mark, but you should have reviewed the Street fighter Alpha Collection for PS2 !!! Way better value for money. Probably of my fave Sf series, yeah 3rd Strike rocks too. Oh random unrelated request: please review Shadow of Rome !
@bildo1977 "...at least Capcom didn't re-release/upgrade any of the Alpha series in the arcade." That's also wrong. In the arcade alone, there was "Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash" and "Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper".
@orionpax55 This is the third version of the "Street Fighter Alpha" series. The original "Street Fighter" series is on "Street Fighter IV" (with its Super version now and the Super Arcade Edition upgrade later)
GR8 GAME!The SEGA Saturn version was better though,it was called ZERO 3 'cause it was only released in Japan.At the time it was the most arcade perfect game I'd ever played!The Dreamcast version was awesome to with the online mode!
Do you only get one chance at Bison in Arcade Mode? In the arcade version of SFA3, if you lost to Bison you automatically got Bison's ending and then a game over.
The only version to retain the arcade's 1 credit rule against Bison, was the PS2 version due to it being an emulation of the arcade game. All other ports allow infinite continues against Bison.
Cyclops"Hey Chun-li I swah you at the tunement...I mean tournament, tournament- I saw you there and... I just noticed your incredible hands. Don't take this the wrong way but let's shake hands, sometime, anytime. Nothing complicated. We don't have to make this a thing but I really want to shake you hand! What do you say?"
the reason why its called street fighter zero/alpha is because it is a prequel storywise of the events in sf2 hence the word alpha (beginning) p.s. however chronologically its in between 1 and 2 so 1.5 wouldve sounded smarter but zero/alpha sounds cooler :)
The soundtrack was the weakest part of this game. By the way, having played both the DC and the PS1 versions of SFA3 I have to say that they look fairly similar on both systems. If you're looking for a truly beautiful Street Fighter game on the DC that makes great use of the system's capabilities, it's Street Fighter 3: Third Strike all the way.
The Alpha games are my fave Street Fighter titles of all time (even more than SF2: Hyper Fighting and SSF2 Turbo). SFA2 & 3 get regular play in both my Saturn and DC. I totally agree with u about the DC controller being awkward for fighting games. I use the Agetec stick for DC fighters and the Virtua Stick for Saturn brawlers. The Saturn has a nice pad (S Controller) which at least gives u some viable options for beat 'em ups, but when it comes to fighters the Dreamcast pad is as unwieldly to use as the Gamecube's.
Not just a fantastic fighting game but also one of the best games ever made(to me)!
oh and btw: The Dreamcast is not comparable to the PS1. Because the DC is one generation ahead. The Sega Saturn is the same generation as the Ps1
SFA3 was the pinnacle of my SF career.
Saturn really only suffers from the lack of transparency, but in return they took advantage of that and gave the port a more arcade-esque appearance since the original used faux transparency as well so it makes for the perfect arcade port especially given the extra animations it shares with it and the Saturn's fighting pad is far superior.

Still the best Street Fighter game IMO.
EnforcerX71 easy the best, and now can play on PS4 🙏
Obviously you've never played SF The Movie...
Yeah, the alpha series of games beats out any of the Street Fighter 2 games! Such an upgrade!
Probably still the best Street Fighter.
This game is also on the PSP. Has an added character. You can download it from the PSPstore thing for like 10 bucks or something.
Ken, Ryu, Fei Long and Chun-Li have always been my favorite characters
I used to own this for the DC and it was beautiful. Agree about the DC controller - half the time I'd try to walk back or forward I'd end up jumping in those directions.

The dreamcast version was so much better than the playstation version.
yes looks better than psx version but not compared to the sega saturn port which this looks amazing with the 4Mb ram cart
I have Max on the PSP, it's probably the best version.
@@caligoclarus Max is FANTASTIC. Content wise it's definitely the best version.
@@jediknightgeo I have it on PS Store now and can play it on TV with my PS TV console. It's pretty nice. Player 2 can use the PSP as a controller.
I had it on my PS2 it's like Arcade perfect

What a cool game for the Dreamcast, Calvin should of continue delivering games for Dreamcast.
Capcom should of continue making games for the Dreamcast, it was a great system, but Sega gaved up the battle very soon, also it was expensive to make.
you can get an adaptor that allows you to use the sega saturn controller on the dreamcast, thats the best way to play fighters on the dreamcast :)
Cliff Reeser then how would you save?
This is still one of my favorite fighting games (though I have the PS1 version). Mostly due to World Tour. They should put that in Super Ultra Street Fighter 4: Omega Edition
Since they may never release the Dreamcast again, it would be kosher to make the Dreamcast Classic Mini.
There were a lot of great DC games that sadly were never re-release (Power Stone 1-2, Plasma Sword, Project Justice, Cannon Spike, and Giga-Wing 1-2). Strange but most of them were Capcom games.
wdcain1 power stone 1 and 2 got a psp re release

everyone has got their own fav version of street fighter mine is this one on Sega Dreamcast. i liked the whole double character on screen thing it made for a good co-op system and multi player
A Game I still remeber fondly.Alpha 3 is awesome.
@Terramax
ok i see your point.. but still.. this is the definet version of street fighter zero 3
i think its worth it...
in any case suppose i was willing to donate to you guys to review how long would it take to get it back???
@Theriot6592 You got it. Street fighter EX/EXplusAlpha.
To be honest Capcom always has made a great coding job, when Street Fighter came out, there was a huge difference between Arcade games and Home console games, like day and night, and they did such an awesome job porting it to a lot of 16 bit consoles.. you didn't miss that much while playing it at home.. obviously the controller and that stuff, but unlike other game ports of the era, that one actually felt like if you where playing the same game at home and in the arcades.
Cody joining the SF roster in this game drew me in. The fighting kept me in.
i remember playing this game on my playstation, it was my first street fighter, ooo memories
@Koops2245 I think its, (first to last in storyline) Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha Series, Street Fighter 2 Series, Street Fighter 4 Series, and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike

This and Smash Pack were the only games I ever managed to get working on my dreamcasts (I bought 3 of them during the 2000's)
This and MVC II are stunning games on the DC.
cool i was just playing this exact game on Dreamcast yesterday ! :)
This is also on the PSP and it rocks. I think it has seven more options oddly.
My favorite street fighter, had it for ps1 though, played it for hours upon hours when i was about 11 or 12, frickin awesome!
@Feilanna its not a remake actually alpha is set in a time before the first street fighter
@outsideredge im sure u can buy that some where
have u looked on ebay ? or try gamestop .. they have alot of great ps2 games just getting dusty on the shelf ...
@Progearspec Cheers for the info. I will try that when I buy another DC and SFA3
It feels good to hear another opinion of the controller because it's that terrible. I rarely get frustrated with a PS3-controller because you actually do the moves you want. But with the Dreamcast I feel lucky when I get the moves out one time out of five. It's also an art to walk without jumping or switch Gen's fighting styles by pressing all three punchs or kicks. Maybe I get this on the PS1, sigh.
@HornetFellow Agreed, I'd pay to see Baraka vs Wolverine or Ghostrider vs Scorpion.
Now there's A game that NEEDS to be on XBox Live!
this and third strike are my favorite SF games of all. the third time's the charm...for the second time.
chun li was my favorite too, since i was a lil kid when II came out on genesis
It's a reupload because he fixed his mistake. He said Cody was from an SNK game yesterday, and corrected it.
I sure am glad I have a DC Agetec stick, modded by myself aswell.
@aerialdude the new SF games are fantastic, but l too miss the 'World Tour' mode, it just adds that extra challenge to the player, like for one match your not allowed to perform special moves, throws can only do damage, and your opponent has X2 power etc.

That is awesome how, he had another version of this video, but he said Cody was from a SNK game, but he corrected it in this one, by saying he is a Final Fight character.
I'm amazed that you haven't run out of Street Fighter games yet o.O
I miss this game so much...
It would be cool if someone ported Gran Turismo 3 to the dreamcast. I bet it would work, maybe with an exception of slight lagging. The polygons are much bigger in GT3 compared to GT4!
im going to get this game!!! my question is what would u guys recommend? a ps1 copy and play it on my ps3 comfortly,wireless!, and of course nice controller for fighting games...or i got a dreamcast and can get it for it instead! i pros i see for dreamcast is better graphics compared to ps1 and better port i believe........what u guys think?
The SATURN version of this,which was only a Jap' release so was called 'ZERO 3 was my favourite 2d fighter on the SATURN which is saying something because all of CAPCOMS SATURN fighters were awesome.
No...he posted this yesterday...I'm not talking about Xmen vs SF. I saw the review yesterday, why did he reupload it?
I had this on the PSP... Never knew it was also on this system o.o.. cool
at 4:00 how did you pull up that menu that would help alot?
This was the first street fighter that I ever owned and ever since ive been dissapointed from the lack of more "world tour" modes.
Good Mark, but you should have reviewed the Street fighter Alpha Collection for PS2 !!! Way better value for money. Probably of my fave Sf series, yeah 3rd Strike rocks too. Oh random unrelated request: please review Shadow of Rome !
@bildo1977 "...at least Capcom didn't re-release/upgrade any of the Alpha series in the arcade."
That's also wrong. In the arcade alone, there was "Street Fighter Zero 2 Dash" and "Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper".
I am wondering if CGR will ever review SF EX series.
Ill get this once I save up for the arcade stick
@orionpax55 This is the third version of the "Street Fighter Alpha" series. The original "Street Fighter" series is on "Street Fighter IV" (with its Super version now and the Super Arcade Edition upgrade later)
@MontHenryKnitly ur thinking of street fighter EX. all the alphas are in 2d, all the EX games are 3d
Second game I have ever played, One of the best Street Fighters ever made.
I actually think those are manacles, the chains for the hands. I think shackles are for your feet.
Because of the great roster, I always felt Capcom should port this game to XBLA/PSN & add online versus.
Ahhh,my first broken joypad.Memories,memories....
GR8 GAME!The SEGA Saturn version was better though,it was called ZERO 3 'cause it was only released in Japan.At the time it was the most arcade perfect game I'd ever played!The Dreamcast version was awesome to with the online mode!
@CabooseAzul it was supposed to be out last year but they released mvc 2 instead
Do you only get one chance at Bison in Arcade Mode? In the arcade version of SFA3, if you lost to Bison you automatically got Bison's ending and then a game over.
The only version to retain the arcade's 1 credit rule against Bison, was the PS2 version due to it being an emulation of the arcade game. All other ports allow infinite continues against Bison.
This game was the reason why I bought a PSP. Street Fighter ALPHA OWNS :D
Cyclops"Hey Chun-li I swah you at the tunement...I mean tournament, tournament- I saw you there and... I just noticed your incredible hands. Don't take this the wrong way but let's shake hands, sometime, anytime. Nothing complicated. We don't have to make this a thing but I really want to shake you hand! What do you say?"
Well thats all very nice, but will it blend?
I remember Shin Akuma being a beast in this game.
My favorite Street Fighter Game!
why capcom didnt made a remake of the first street fighter?
@SkyMaro no that scot pilgrim K.O is from this game, =)
didn't talk about the best part of the game, dramatic battle were p1 p2 vs. p3 p4 or p1 p2 vs. p3 was sooooo awesome
Lmao that ending tho!!!
I always wanted to get a Dreamcast just for this game because it's so much better than the PS1 port!
the reason why its called street fighter zero/alpha is because it is a prequel storywise of the events in sf2 hence the word alpha (beginning)
p.s. however chronologically its in between 1 and 2 so 1.5 wouldve sounded smarter but zero/alpha sounds cooler :)
The soundtrack was the weakest part of this game.
By the way, having played both the DC and the PS1 versions of SFA3 I have to say that they look fairly similar on both systems. If you're looking for a truly beautiful Street Fighter game on the DC that makes great use of the system's capabilities, it's Street Fighter 3: Third Strike all the way.
which one is better, the PS version or the DC version?
@jp299 I would but I found your response far more amusing.
@FOOLZSTUDIOS It is on psn as a psone classic
@solidbeaver I think you are talking about the Xmen Vs Street fighter video
Is this worth owning if you have third strike, fatal fury, MvsC, for Dreamcast
Of course and the dreamcast version is one of the best ports
another great review from a one game a day sort of reviewer
men dude think of this old game take me back of the days from the 90 when i was a kid oh men and im 17 right now wow
