Street Fighter III
"Street Fighter III: New Generation" debuted in the arcades on the CPS3 hardware in 1997. "Street Fighter III" discards most of the character roster from previous games, keeping only Ryu and Ken, introducing several new characters in their place including the grappler Alex, who was designed to be the new lead character of the game, and Gill, who replaced Bison as main antagonist. "Street Fighter III" introduced the "Super Arts" selection system and the ability to parry an opponent's attack.
