close, if you mean 2d. But blaze blue and skull girls isn't quite like this. It could be due to the fact that the older games where hand painted animation that was later digitized. where as now anything 2d is made using a computer. it's not bad, in fact I like it, it's just tough to get that same look. same goes with fluid controls and the whole sense of style. street fighter alpha 3 may have looked cartoony but it was...well let's say a bit more macho or better yet heroic than blazeblue or skull girls. Bb has far to many bishi's and skull girls is all super cutesy. again not bad just not sf alpha 3 max good.
Nobody is going to talk about Cody vs Guy? That intro was an excellent Final Fight reference, the barrel's artstyle, the punching, the special move which drains life and the food that restores it with an indicator. Awesome.

Yea because everyone one of them are the same and has no purpose. the only time we do is rival scenes which sucked because these street fighter games may has a short introduction with little to no words but means alot than the shity rival scenes today.
VixXstazosJOB Meh. Not really. We just kept the good ones in mind. 4 version of street fighter 2 on Super Nintendo weren't that much better than dlc character, there was a lot of soul less fighting game in the arcade, created to surf on street fighter'2 success, and there was a lot of awful game in general. We just remember the good ones. There are a tons of games theses day that are made with lot of heart and love, even of they don't reach critical success. A lot of people keep playing sfV while saying that it sucks, but they aren't willing to try the alternatives
Glentaker and VixXstazos are right actually. In the 90s, Capcom was on a winning streak creatively with their games. The characters and their designs were innovative, the soundtracks were catchy, and the storytelling was solid. Most of all, they were not afraid to take risks. This isn't nostalgia talking, its the truth. Capcom is afraid of progression with Street Fighter in terms of character design and story, that's why they phone it in with the nostalgia and playing safe.
I agree for Capcom, I do prefer their older game(although they still released 45 version of the same one, they had excellent creativity with stuff like darkstalkers, the vs serie etc etc) I just don't agree with the "in general" part. There are still a ton of freaking great game "made with heart and love" today, and there were a tons of bad ones made to rip off kids in the 90's. Just because capcom sucks today doesn't means that no one can make great game anymore(even for fighting game, you have kof 14, guilty, skullgirlz, tekken7... I'll admit I only play third strike, but still : o) )
+Alden Skinner A shit-ton of characters have a SFV concept, including Ingrid and her original "team", but so far, that is about all there is to it. Until they actually reveal these characters in the future, I would rather keep my judgement skeptical just for precaution. :\
Doğan Kürşat Aktaş, sadly its only the original arcade version of Alpha 3 that's getting ported in the collection. Still stoked af for 30th anniversary collection though!!!
So sad...this highlights everything missing from SFV...a soul, and character. I remember when each character had a defined, and catchy theme song for their stage. I am old.
@@AlexTheMan8393 i wished many of the newer games had this level of attention to detail but i cant complain new stuff always means alot of works,so even if the newer games doesnt have the charm as the older ones,its just because of the amount of work they have to do for the newer games so i am not complaining.
Whao...wait one damn minute...I've played Alpha COUNTLESS times as a kid, and never noticed Bison's stage had a floating skull in the sky. Mind blown at 1:14

The Zangielf/Eagle rivalry cutscene was probably only done because both characters share the lariat move. Would have been sick to see if both of those characters had something against each other.
aaaaaaaaaaaa808 SF5 doesn't look rushed to me, and SFA3 reuses assets from SFA1 and SFA2, at least SF5 hasn't reused anything other than move sets and characters, but yeah, SF5 can be better.
Man, I loved the fucking Alpha Counter Lightning effect. Sucks that Alpha Counters ate a chunk of your Guard Meter, but I always loved that lightning strike and "BOOM!" that followed
3rock33 They could've came in with a running kick, lightning clash results, jump off opposite walls and backflip into their respected fighting positions on the screen. Would've been simple without any new sprites needed.
If I was a rational human being, I'd agree. However, 3D graphics everywhere prevent anything more from happening, hence why we don't have special intros. Enjoy post-match quotes for the next infinite millenia and hope and pray some indie dev will include this feature like they did with Skullgirls :^)
Even with SF6, SFA3 Max is still the best SF, the roster, game modes and special intros give the edge by far, on SF6 you dont have any special intro and the new characters are so boring! BTW Ryu vs Ken intro and Yun vs Feilong intro are epic!
Honestly Capcom, re-release this game already. The fact that this game was a PSP exclusive is a crime. Re-release this game in a dual pack with Alpha 2 Gold.
Personally, I didn't like this version. • The PSP truly needed Alpha Anthology, not just plain old Alpha 3 with "MAX" slapped onto the cover. • It made no plot-driven sense adding Eagle, Maki, Yun and Ingrid to the prequel game Alpha 3 (3rd Strike and is more fitting and consistent for them). • The 30th Anniversary collection is definitely missing both Alpha 2 Gold and Alpha 3 Upper.
@@KenMasters. I'll give you that adding Yun and Ingrid might not make sense lore wise, but Eagle and Maki? The Alpha series was all about bringing in SF1 and Final Fight characters. What makes Eagle and Maki so different from, say Birdie and Guy? Besides, not all characters need to fit in the lore, they can just be added in for fun.
@@marplatense31 The way Eagle and Maki truly looked in the Alpha trilogy was the same during their debuts. In the official Alpha artwork (and manga adaptation), Eagle still wore a bow tie, also Final Fight 2 still took place in 1989 like Alpha 3. In Capcom vs. SNK 2, Eagle and Maki clearly looked a decade older because the year was 2001. The PS2 and XBOX ports of 3rd Strike would suit them better lore wise, also because Eagle can fight Dudley & Sean and Maki can fight Ibuki & Hugo as matching rivals. The exclusive newcomers Alpha 3 truly needed was the rest of the SF1 cast, including the 13-year-younger Eagle.
Most taunts always seem to be about looking down on your opponent and only a handful few are light-heartedly enough to be friendly, so seeing ingrid playing that little trick on Blanka then giving him back his bananas was so awesome! It was like "nah, here you go, I was just kidding. ;P" (me: X3)
Seeing these intros in SFA3, them to the SF3 series, and later onto the SF4 & SF5 series (P1 Ryu: "The answer of battle... lies from within." VS 2P Ryu: "The answer of battle... lies from within." and 1P Chunli "Want to see my kungfu?" VS 2P Chunli "Want to see my kungfu?") really shows the quality and minute details of the SF series have really really gone down. It's no longer made with love.
