PS1 Version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Hits PSN Today

The Playstation 1 version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 is being re-released today on the Playstation Network as a PS One Classic today.

World tour, go!

        Why would you want to play an imperfect port of an extremely execution heavy game? That’s just moronic. 

        How is me pointing out its a bad port being negative? Don’t waste your money on a bad port. Buy the PS2 Alpha Anthologys. It has arcade perfect ports of every alpha game. 

        My comments aren’t negative. You just take them that way.

            I don’t think it’s much of difference unless u are a fighting game superstar you won’t notice any difference. The PS1 version was the only version I ever played. And for only $6  I don’t have to move a bunch of crap to make room for my PS1 when I want to play some alpha3. People go on and on about how bad the XBox1 version of 3rd Strike is, but me, as an average gamer, can’t tell much difference in the xbox1 version and the 3SO for my PS3′s.

            Dude, for 6 bucks you can get the alpha anthology for PS2. All 3 alpha’s arcade perfect including Alpha 2 gold, Super Gem Fighter, and Hyper SFA. I think the PS2 Anthology is the better option regardless if you care for bad ports or not. Plus there’s tons of ways to add PS2 support to current sticks.

            It’s not because he stated something about an imperfect port.  Look at all the posts he posts full of negativity on the front page, that’s why people are talking about blowing him up.

            It’s not even the front page, look at the majority of his forum posts.  He has the kind of e-personality that attracts moths (and flames).  It’d be sad if this was his real life persona.

            Stop supporting elitism, you sound like you’re okay with having people belittle-ling you and shit.

             Argument was lost as soon as skill level was brought in. Come on do you know how silly saying I’m better at computer games than you there for I am right and you are wrong. This is the only place where people think they are actually above someone becuase they are good at something. It’s embarassing, you might of actually had a point but you actually done what yu was complaining about as you was attacking not about the comment but in general. You you want to prove your better rise above it. I actually have learnt something though, I thought the ps2 version was exactly same as ps1, so it’s not all bad.

        how is it worse when the Dreamcast got nothing but arcade perfect ports, especially for the cross-over series.

        • Anonymous

          That’s because the hardware for the original CVS2 and MVC2 arcade cabinets was the Sega NAOMI.

          The Dreamcast is basically a home console version of the Sega NAOMI. The Dreamcast and the Sega NAOMI have pretty much the exact same hardware components underneath. This is why the Dreamcast versions of those games are so arcade perfect.

          The hardware for SF Alpha 3 arcade cabinets was Capcom’s CPS3 hardware which is very different than the PS1 and Dreamcast.

            The SFAlpha series including 3 was actually CPS2 hardware and I know because I put it in my Blast City cabinet. 
            Although the MvC2 and CVS2 DC ports were good, I’ve been told by SaBrE (Who was legendary in SFA3) that the DC was the worst port, but the PSX wasn’t far behind. He mentioned that even the PS2 version in Alpha Anthology wasn’t arcade perfect, but was the best available for a console release.

            For $6 it’s worth some casual play between friends who want to reminisce. It’s not like tournament organizers are going to start adding it to their lineups.

          • http://www.facebook.com/FrankCastleAZ Frankcastleaz Azhp

            Officially, here’s what SaBrE had to say on the issue- 

            “alpha anthology ports of all 3 games are excellent as long as you access the hidden dipswitch menu and load up one of the arcade rom rulesets.

            the problem with console versions was they did some balance chances, tweaked some engine rules, and a lot of things just didnt behave correctly.

            for instance, on all 3 console versions(ps1, saturn, dc), they nerfed the crap out of dhalsim. they made all his limb attacks at like half the speed. you can play console, then go play emulator and the difference is staggering. he turned into a crap character, since it changed everything, especially his combos in v-ism.

            shortened invincibility time on VC start up.

            dc suffered badly from having very small sprites. the problem here is the sprites are too small, so the playfield was very big. in other words, when both characters are on their respective side of the screen, all the way, theres more room in-between the characters, which resulted in a massive difference in spacing, which is a very big deal. it changes a lot of things.

            lots of vc’s combos behaved differently. Timing on a lot of things are so different. It’s just another game entirely.

            ps1 suffers all these problems minus the sprite size.

            saturn version is the best of the 3, but that version has a problem all its own, slowdown/frame skipping issues. which blows my mind cuz saturn handles these games no problem. lazy port i suppose.

            theres other problems on these ports, but i havent played these versions since like 2001, that its hard to remember. no decent console port of a3 back in the day led to its demise.

             the port is fun if you just fuckaround for fun, but for serious play, i wouldnt recommend it”

    • Mikahl757

      I understand this and this why I thought it wasn’t available as a classic as soon as SFA1 and A2 were.  I assumed they were going to start an OE like they did with 3SOE.  Hopefully the fans can unite and get Seth’s attention for a proper remake, I don’t need a classic version as I own all the versions still but this should let others enjoy that game that haven’t before.  Why classic not even the double upper psp version??

        “Why not even the double upper PSP version?”

        Because that would cost more money to port from the PSP to the PSN (plus the technology was only recently announced) compared to a PS1 classic to PSN. I know, I would have loved the PSP revision too but I’m sure it would cost Capcom more and therefore they’d have to charge more.

    Why are people complaining?  PSN has been releasing PS1 classics for years, this is just another one on their long list.  They aren’t trying to update it or anything that’s why it’s being released as PLAYSTATION 1 CLASSIC.  Not the DC port  Not the arcade port.  Not the PSP port. Come on, guys, jeez.

    DC is still the best version because you get near arcade perfect and with the console characters. PSP version is just as bad as PS1 version but you get more characters.  Arcade version is perfect but with almost 8 less characters then PSP version and 4 then PS1/DC version.. Seth Killian this game deserves a proper remake.  Easy $15.00 sale IMHO!!!!!!!!

    It´s a pity it´s not the PSP version with Maki, Eagle and Yun.
    But, there´s World Tour Mode. So…
    I´M TOTALLY BUYING IT!

    if it’s ANYTHING at all like the PS3 SF:A1 port, then do yourselves a favor and DON’T BUY IT.  I really hope it’s better, because I bought the PS3 SF:A1 and the load times were horrible.  I mean worse than KOF12 — even getting your win quote after a match took like 8 min.

    That said I’d check out a review first

    Shitty port that no real fighting gamer would ever recommend. This article was just an excuse to post up a picture of R. Mika on the front page, the character that everyone wants in a current gen fighter but nobody knows anything about gameplay-wise other than “she has a command grab.” People are such bullshitters for digital t&a.

    Bout damn time they put this on PSN. Still in my opinion, one of the best SF games ever made, if not the best in my opinion. I’m glad it’s the PS1 port, so I can finally enjoy the goodness of the world tour mode =D

    Why do people think the DC port is good? -__- It’s worst than the ps1 port.

    • Mikahl757

      Nice try lol.  DC is closest to arcade perfect.. check out Dhalsims far standing Lk, Mk, Hk.  Go, try it in an arcade emulator, DC version Ps1, Ps2, Psp and then come back and tell us which are similar?

      • http://twitter.com/VCUFightClub VCU Fight Club

        Dude, DC version is just as fucked as the PS1, and more importantly the speeds are off, messing up custom combos.
        The best version of this aside from Alpha Anthology was the Saturn, but it suffered from slowdown.

        TLDR, every home version except Alpha Anthology is unplayable.

    Who the fuck wants this abortion of a port? Why don’t capcom just release the ps2 anthology versions?

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/tsdcs TS

    PSX port of A3 isn’t great, but it was a very popular game when it was new and has a ton of nostalgia value for many people.  Considering that many people were never hardcore into A3 in the first place, this release is a decent way to renew interest in the game.  While I wouldn’t pay for this personally, it’s worth knowing about.

    (Random awesome A3 match video)

    For those 6 bucks PSN charges you can get Alpha Anthology on PS2. Arcade Perfect. W/ bonus games Super Gem Fighter and Hyper SFA. Hopefully most of you make the smart choice.

      We didn’t ask for this port though lol We preferred arcade perfect.

    If they’re able to bring crazy taxi on psn, then they should be able to bring the alpha 3 Dreamcast port to the psn. It has better graphics and plays better. Anthology doesn’t have world tour…at least the ps1 version has it…It’s still great though. They should bring MVC1 also to the psn.

    Best SF game ever imo.  But playing it this morning, I can see that this game would benefit from an HD remake, and maybe some updated movesets or something.  Atleast give us a dash Capcom!!

    And yes I’d buy it again if they released an HD remake.

      who knows, maybe they are testing how much interest there is in this game still by releasing  this port. At least that’s what I would do.

    Bitch bitch bitch.

    Who the FUCK cares if it isn’t “arcade perfect”?

    Are any of you going to be playing SFA3 professionally?

    Let’s keep in mind that this is a TEN YEAR OLD GAME.

    We aren’t talking about SF4. Get off your high horse and be happy for the fact that those of us who just like to play FIGHTING GAMES can get this title without having to buy a PS2/download it illegally/BLAH BLAH BLAH I’m a member of the fighting game community, I’m awesome!.

    Shut the fuck up. Enjoy the game.

    I’m glad Alpha 3 has finally made it onto the PlayStation Network (it should been available a long time ago) but I don’t understand why they keep giving us the horrible PSX ports of these games. Beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

    I was surprised this worked with a joystick. I bought it thinking I was going to have to dual shock the whole thing.  I completely missed this game before, I like the new (to me) characters,Iactually think I might like it better than Third Strike so far.

    The important part of this story, is that more people need to hop on GGPO and play Alpha 3 etc.
