Page "Street Fighter III" Paragraph 0

is a fighting game in Capcom's Street Fighter series, originally released as coin-operated arcade game in.

Street Fighter III was produced for the CD-ROM-based CP System 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 play mechanics.

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. Bisons role from the previous games as the new boss character.
