Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

FIGHT CHARACTER'S RIVAL: It seems like CAPCOM has given Street Fighter III: New Generation the "Alpha" touch. Not only do the characters have their own boss, but also their own secret opponents, just like Street Fighter Alpha 2. To fight a secret opponent, get four Super Finishes without losing as many rounds as possible. After the battle where you got the last Super Finish, the message "Your rival has found you" will appear. Depending on your character, a secret opponent will challenge you next.

FIGHT AGAINST AKUMA/GOUKI: Akuma (Gouki in the Japanese version) looks older, with some streaks of white in his hair, but he's still as powerful as ever. To fight against him, get at least two PERFECTS without losing a round before your last boss. Akuma will do a Raging Demon on your last boss once the announcer says "FIGHT!". Akuma will then be your last boss.

FIGHT AGAINST SHIN AKUMA/GOUKI: As if Akuma is not enough, Shin Akuma is also in the game! He moves faster and is deadlier than normal Akuma. Get at least three PERFECTS and at most three CHEESE finishes without losing a round before the last boss. Normal Akuma will challenge you as the last boss. Defeat Normal Akuma without losing a round with at least one Super Finish on him. Akuma will resurrect into Shin Akuma.

PLAY AS AKUMA/GOUKI: To play as Akuma (Gouki in the Japanese version) do the following trick:

Start a game.
Highlight Ryu, tap DOWN, DOWN, UP.
Highlight Ken, tap UP, UP, DOWN.
Highlight Ryu, tap UP.
Highlight Ken, tap DOWN.
Highlight Sean, tap DOWN, DOWN, UP, DOWN, UP, UP, UP.

If done right, Akuma's box will appear. Press any button. He can choose one of the three Super Arts available to him: Messatsu Gou-Hadou (Super Fireball, both ground and air), Messatsu Gou-Shouryu (Super Dragon Punch) and the new Messatsu Gou-Rasen (Super Hurricane Kick). Also with any of the Super Arts, he has the Raging Demon! It needs the Meter to be MAX though. However, he CAN'T do any Special Moves.

If you have access to the Options Menu of the game, then you can input the following code in and Akuma will automatically be on the character select screen, until you clear the memory back-up of the machine:

Access Options.
Access Test.
Access Config.
Access Settings.
Highlight the following options and press the corresponding buttons and the number of times in order:
1. TIMER: START X 3
2. EVENT: MK X 2
3. SCREEN: HK X 3
4. BONUS: START X 1
5. DAMAGE: LK X 4

A sound will be heard, and Akuma will be on the character select screen.

BONUS GAME LEVEL SELECT: You can select the difficulty level of the Bonus Game by doing this simple code. The higher the level, the faster the balls will be thrown in for you to parry: Start a game. Select any character. Reach the Bonus Game, which is after the third opponent. When it says "Let's practice parrying" ("Let's practice blocking" in the Japanese version), press and hold the buttons corresponding to the level:

LK
MK
HK
LK + MK + HK
DOWN + LP + MK + HP

The Bonus Game will be at the level chosen.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Uncommon - There are 14 known instances of Street Fighter III 2nd Impact - Giant Attack owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 14 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,098 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 7 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because 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. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

Hugo is a member of the Andore family, a group of Andre look-a-likes from Capcom's Final Fight series and his manager is Poison, a scantily-clad female enemy from Final Fight.
