Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

TRICK: To play as the following characters, follow the instructions below:
  • BALROG: Make sure there are at least 28 entires shown on the Rankings Screen. This will appear after the game has been powered on for two to three weeks and the title screen will have a pinkish background. Start a game, highlight Karin and wait for around three seconds. Highlight any Random Select box for your side then immediately hold Start, press any button (waiting too long disables the code) and then Balrog will be your chosen character.
  • JUNI: Make sure there are at least 28 entires shown on the Rankings Screen. This will appear after the game has been powered on for two to three weeks and the title screen will have a pinkish background. Start a game, highlight Karin, wait for around three seconds and highlight any Random Select box for your side. If you are at a Random Select box on the left, hold Left, otherwise hold Right. Immediately press any button (waiting too long disables the code) and then Juni will be your chosen character.
  • JULI: Make sure there are at least 28 entires shown on the Rankings Screen. This will appear after the game has been powered on for two to three weeks and the title screen will have a pinkish background. Start a game, highlight Karin, wait for around three seconds and highlight any Random Select box for your side. If you are at a Random Select box on the upper part, hold Up, otherwise hold Down. Immediately press any button (waiting too long disables the code) and then Juli will be your chosen character.
  • CLASSICAL MODE (NO-ISM): (NOTE: with this code, you can play as a character without any ISMs. Considered as the fourth ISM, this mode has the same moves and characteristics of X-ISM, plus no Super Meters, no Guard Meters, no Juggle Recoveries and no Damage Reduction. However, your character cannot be juggled by the opponent, but you can juggle them.)

    Check if the title screen has a greenish background (this will appear after three to four weeks. Insert your credit, hold HP + HK and press Start. Next, release Start and the buttons, select any character and then the ISM selection will not appear and your character will instantly change into the X-ISM colors upon selection. The game is now in Classical Mode.

  • SAIKYO MODE (LOW GUARD METER): (Note: with this code, any character with any ISM will have a very short Guard Meter; only about one block (plus a bit more). You can also use this in combination with any ISM.)

    Check if the title screen has a blue background (this will appear after four to five weeks). Insert your credit, hold LP + LK and press Start. Release Start and the buttons, select any character, select your ISM and then your character will always have a very short Guard Meter in battle.

  • MAZI MODE (LO MODE): (NOTE: this mode is like a serious mode; you can only lose one round before you lose it all. However, all CPU opponents and human players not using this code, need to be defeated the normal number of rounds, which is usually three for most arcades.)

    Check if the title screen has a blue background (this will appear after four to five weeks). Insert your credit, hold MP + MK and press Start. Release Start and the buttons, select any character, select your ISM and then the L.O. icon should appear in between the Super Meters during battle.

  • DRAMATIC BATTLE MODE: (NOTE: In this mode, two characters fight against one! However, unlike in Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, there is no free selection of the team members, which means that when you choose a main character, a partner is automatically assigned. If two players use this mode, they will be co-operating together and both will have their own life bar.)

    Check if the title screen has a cyan background (or white) after it has been through the previous color changes. Insert a credit, hold 3K, press Start, select any character and then you will be assigned a partner and will have to pass six stages of computer opponents.

    LIST OF TEAMS: Ryu and Ken; E. Honda and Sodom; Blanka and Dan; Charlie and Chun Li; Zangief and R.Mika; Dhalsim and Rose(?); Balrog and Birdie(?); Vega and Rolento; Sagat and Adon; M. Bison and Cammy; Akuma and Gen; Guy and Cody; Karin and Sakura; Juli and Juni.

  • SURVIVAL MODE: Check if the title screen has a cyan background (or white) after it has been through the previous color changes. Hold 3P, press Start, select any character and then you will then go through the Survival Mode, with Survival Mode rules.
  • FINAL BATTLE: (NOTE: Like the Gouki Mode of Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, you can jump directly to the fight with your character's last boss. There is no more need to climb through the rest of the characters.

    Check if the title screen has a cyan background (or white) after it's been through the previous color changes. Hold LP + MK + HP, press Start, select any character and then your last boss (mostly Shin Bison) will be your first and only fight.

CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,492 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,731 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 61,187 machines (3,630 unique titles).

Common - There are 37 known instances of this machine owned by Street Fighter Alpha 3 collectors. Of these, 2 of them are original dedicated machines, 12 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 23 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

This game ranks a 22 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Wanted - No members have added this machine to their wish list. Please note that many collectors are not members or do not list their desires here, and it is likely that a number of collectors might purchase this machine if offered it at the right price. There are 2 VAPS members looking for Street Fighter Alpha 3 board sets.

This game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Street Fighter Alpha 3 machine for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them even though arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses, while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.

Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.

In particular, since VAPS started out focusing on videogames, statistics for other types of machines should not (yet) be an indication of scarcity.

For a clue to value, look at absolute numbers of owners and potential owners above, compare a ratio of how many people want this game vs. how many people have this game (0%) and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

The character Karin was originally from a Japanese Street Fighter Manga called Sakura Ganbare by Masahiko Nakahira. She is Sakura's rival.
