***wraggster*** · February 11th, 2006, 09:33

Success HK have posted that the US version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max is now out:

An improved version of the furious third entry in the Street Fighter Alpha series. A gameplay mode new to the Street Fighter Alpha series, Variable BattleMode, has been implemented to allow real-time tag team brawls. Tag out and the second fighter enters performing a jump attack, a move useful for escaping tight situations. Yun, Maki and Eagle, as well as Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, enter the arena exclusively in this PSP edition, with all new original storylines. Versus battles heat up with the Wi-Fi League Battle Mode that allow a maximum of eight players to duke it out in round-robin mini tournaments.

If its 2.0 thats not that bad, i can always upgrade. But I thought street fighter 3 needed firmware 2.5?? I´ll never go higher than 2.0. No way..

Someone's gonna crack 2.6, for all those 2.6 gamers, they should be well pleased but Sony will be very unhappy if that's the case. we all got our fingers crossed on Fanjita.

I bought it 2 days ago and it IS firmwre 2.5. There is no way to play it at the moment unless you wanna upgrade to 2.5 or use firmware 2.0 and use either flashmod v2.0 or pspsetx. I heard pspsetx runs it but there is no sound. I'm affraid that we are gonna have to wait a little longer and hope flashmod v3.0 for 1.5 will add support for more 2.5 firmware games or the next mph firmware launcher will run 2.5 firmware games. I'll just be patient and see. With taxes coming I could get another psp but to me that's just throwing money away.

I like my sf alpha and all, Its one of my fav titles of all time.
But between the controll issues you know that are gonna be preasent,
And haveing to go to fw 2.5.
(plus the screens ive seen. it just doesnt look quite

I dont know

graphicly well done, I guess kinda grainy)
Even mighty street fighter, just isnt worth it.

I guess i'll stick to the ol psx version

The best version of Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3 I've played so far is the import Sega Saturn version. It's even better than the DC version. If you have a Sega Saturn and a 4 meg ram cart I would hunt that version down. Blows away the PSX version.
