Also, this just in-- Simon Viklund of Bionic Commando Rearmed fame has remixed the entire 3rd Strike soundtrack for this re-release.

How Street Fighter III Nearly Killed Capcom's Franchise

Oro is one of Street Fighter V's most anticipated fighters, a far cry from when Street Fighter III nearly derailed Capcom's fighting series for good.

3rd strike on dreamcast is my fav street fighter

DarXyde989d ago

Mainline games, I agree it was great (though, for obvious reasons, II's music is more nostalgic and popular). My favorite Street Fighter OST was Street Fighter Alpha III's.

SFIII itself was good, but for me, it wasn't until Second Impact and Third Strike that we saw such an evolution from the last numbered entry.

And here I thought it had something to do with the many variations of IV.

Teflon02989d ago

4 had 4 versions, SFII had like 6 or 7, 3 had 3. Not much of an issue really. 5 has 3 and will probably finish on 4, though atleast it's 1 games that updates unlike 4 which was 2 separate games and the games before it being entirely separate titles

Godmars290989d ago

Though it was just the shift from arcades to home consoles.

zahdab989d ago

very much doubt it, angel of darkness didn't kill tomb raider all the sonic flops didn't kill sonic ... franchises have ups and downs

5 Reasons Street Fighter V Looks a lot Like Street Fighter III

IGN - After plenty of rumors (and one big leak), Capcom finally unveiled Street Fighter V at the PlayStation Experience last week. A gameplay trailer focused on two of Street Fighter’s classic world warriors, Ryu and Chun Li, battling it out on an ultra-detailed new stage. It didn't initially look like the short reveal gave much away, but there are details that might have gone unnoticed.

In fact, Street Fighter's future might lie in its past - Street Fighter V features several striking similarities to Street Fighter III, last seen in the late 1990s.

Im really hoping for Remy and Oro to return in SF5! Some of my fav SF3 fighters

XtraTrstrL3429d ago

Oro FTW! That was my main.

bouzebbal3429d ago

haha Oro and Remy. Two legendary characters.
i am hoping for a mix between SF3 and Alpha characters. SF3 3rd strike had too many newcomers and not many classics. i think a balance would be great in SFV.

gangsta_red3429d ago

I think it would be cool if they moved the story after part 3. It felt weird that part four took place between part 2 and 3.

Even though part 3 had more of a darkstalkers vibe with it's characters I really liked Elena, Alex and Urien. Would like to see those characters make a return.

Alex deserves a return.

GokuSolosAll3429d ago

Asura should make it this time around; imagine his crazy ultras!

Inception3429d ago

Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, and Sean are a must for me. And maybe Q too. I enjoy using him but his a f*kin mystery. The ending also didn't gave a single clue of who / what is he. But no Gill please! :(

Also, guard parry need to appear again. I enjoy focus attack as a defensive / offensive feature in SF IV. But guard parry is more challenging to do.
