Street Alpha 3 really rocked in the Arcades and when they brough it to the homes of millions on the PSone, it still rocked, it looked great and of course how could you forget the many characters you had to choose from. In total (I want to say) 34 or 35? total characters including hidden characters. A definite up scale from the original Street Fighter Alpha where there's only 8 or 10 characters and 2 of which you could've easily done without (Sodom and Birdie).
