Cant really compare Alpha 3 on Dreamcast to 3S. I mean technically speaking Alpha 3 is still a "Last gen" CPS2 Alpha game ( Yes it wasnt arcade perfect , but I really doubt casuals cared). Its like bringing up USF4 on the PS4 for sales data. Or comparing ST on the PS1 to Alpha. Capcom invested way more into SF3 , and obvously needed it to do better than Alpha.
The problem with 3S was that it came out at an odd time when Dreamcast was really the only system it could go to. I dont think even the Saturn could handle it , despite it being supposedly better at 2D games than PS1.

The weird thing is, they put Jojo's on PS1.
Which means a SF3 port to PS1 was doable with cuts. Jojo's was a CPS3 game after all.

That would be a cool alt.
A capcom dude confirmed on a stream a few months ago it takes place before 3. He seemed to think it was common knowledge.

No lies detected.
Ah, I see.
Well I can't wait to know more details on their attempts at making a story mode.

Yeah it seems they just keep on retconning SF3. They already had to change Ibuki and Makoto's age in those games to have them appear in SF4. Now it's like Ken is wearing a different outfit with a crazy different style... but then in SF3 he just decided to go back to his old style and outfit?
Best not to think about these things too hard and just enjoy playing the game...

The thing with SF canon is that so many factors contradict each other. They need to just decide what's what going forward and stick with it, even if that means retconning a bunch of stuff.
Capcom has said they're taking the story more seriously this time, and that's something I've always wanted to hear, but I'm still not seeing any of this supposed renewed dedication to the plot yet. Hopefully soon.

Yeah Retcon in SF is pretty par for the course. I think changing a few character's ages and having Ken change his style a bit are pretty minor compared to some of the long term changes they made in Alpha (Nash and Sagat in particular come to mind).
That being said I don't think any of the changes relating to 3 are anything significant that has any sort of effect on anything. Alpha's changes were a lot more reaching.
Street Fighter 3 is the Tokyo Drift of the series.
Which means that Street Fighter 6 will also take place before SF3 and Street Fighter 7 will finally take place after SF3 and Jason Statham will be the last boss.
For Jason Statham?

I think people read too much in the "efforts on story mode" thing. Capcom was likely talking about single player content size not writing quality.
Street Fighter is gonna be Street Fighter, the story will be cheesy and silly like it has always been, that's the material they have to work with.
It's more reasonable to expect things like longer story mode, better staging and cutscene quality, new single player modes or at least things to do to earn in-game currency, like the daily challenges they announced recently.
I'm still waiting on that world tour mode announcement. Spent hours with that in Zero 3.
Pretty sure it won't happen, alas
So strong! Keep coming on!As long as he has this taunt

His character select pose cracks me up
That's some pretty good muscle physics going on there.

Pretty good game.
3rd strike houses my favorite chun li theme that will never get used unless one of those orphans she takes care of grows up and fights
Dat vitriol. lol.
For most people around our age, 3s most likely would've been their first street fighter or the first time they tried to play a fighting game competitively so it's no wonder people have a fondness for it.

The version of Alpha 3 on the Dreamcast is a port of the Naomi rereleaae. It technically is a separate release from the CPS2 version.
Im gonna say that for most folks that was alpha 3 on playstation

Nah, if we're talking Playstation-era fighters it has to be Tekken 3. Game was ubiquitous.

I'm old enough to have played SF2 WW when it first came out in arcades, but by the time 3S came around my local arcade had already gone out of business. So I didn't really have a chance to play 3S during its heyday.
Wasn't for me and the people I grew up with but yeah I can also see that.
The person said first street fighter
I made the same mistake
I said first street fighter and/or first foray into competitive fighting games.

Yeah same here, actually I knew the month SF3 was supposed to launch from EGM and I looked up arcades in the yellow pages until I found one that had it. I had to drive over an hour to get to that arcade... pre-gps and google map days... damn I feel old right now.
Although it did make playing SF3 for the first time pretty unforgettable... when I was walking up to the machine someone was just landing a shin shoryuken. I played all night until they closed at 3am.
Yep. No idea about anyone's ages, but Zero series by a factor of 10. Putting aside arcade profits, in Japan you have 530,000 copies of Zero 2 on PS, 500,000 copies of Zero 3 on PS, and...50,000 copies of 3S on DC. There's just no comparison. Whether or not one likes III, it's worth remembering fighting game perspectives can get pretty myopic---the hardcore scene may have discovered (too late to make any money for Capcom) that it loves 3S, but the outside world has no idea. Oh, and when 3S released on PS2, a far more popular system and a good number of years after the scene had rediscovered 3S as a game it loved? 50,000 copies.
This commentary is the cringiest shit I've ever heard.

Worse than Sessler's spectacle @ Evo 2010 finals?
A3 and 3s came out within a few months of each other in arcades. The difference is even narrower when considering the PS1 version of A3 and arcade version of 3s.
I thought the Naomi version came after the dreamcast version?
