## Street Fighter 3: New Generation

*Street Fighter III: New Generation* was first released in February 1997, introducing several new features to the series. The gameplay is similar to *Super Street Fighter II Turbo*, but players can now parry most attacks and also perform dashes, high jumps, and quick stands. The Super Art system was also introduced, with at least 3 Super Arts available to each character, and the choice of Super Art determined the size of the Super Art Gauge and the number of Stocks available. The Arcade Mode of *New Generation* consists of seven fights, with the first six being made up of random opponents, all leading up to the seventh and final fight against an unplayable computer-controlled only final boss named Gill.

## Street Fighter 3: 2nd Impact - Giant Attack

An updated version of the previous game, *Street Fighter III 2nd Impact - Giant Attack* was first released in September of the same year and introduced even more new mechanics. EX Special attacks made their debut and allowed more powerful special attacks at the cost of some of the Super Art Gauge. The choice of Super Arts would also determine how many EX Specials could be stored. Throw Technical allowed players to counter and escape their opponent's throw attempts. Personal Actions marked the return of taunts and added effects that benefited users, from increased defense to powering up the next attack. Bonus Stages also returned in this game.*2nd Impact*'s Arcade Mode consists of eight fights, culminating with the eighth and final fight against a specific final boss for the chosen player character. Gill is fought as either the final boss for a few characters on the playable roster or as the seventh opponent from within Arcade Mode. The chosen player character can also encounter their rival halfway through Arcade Mode if certain requirements are met by the player.

## Street Fighter 3: Third Strike

*Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike* was first released in May 1999, and is the final game of the series while serving as a sequel to *2nd Impact* (the latter, as mentioned above being an update to *New Generation*). *3rd Strike* introduced a couple of further gameplay changes - the "Red Parry", which lets a player parry while blocking, and a grading evaluation system which ranks (from lowest to highest): E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, XS, MSF. The car-destroying bonus round from the *Street Fighter II* games also returned. *3rd Strike*'s Arcade Mode, which consists of 10 fights is unique from the previous two Arcade Modes of both *New Generation* and *2nd Impact* in that the player can choose between two opponents of whom they wish to do battle against. The chosen player character's rival serves as the Stage 9 sub-boss while Gill serves as the tenth and final boss for the entire playable roster (with the notable exception being in that Alex serves as the final boss for Gill if he's the chosen player character from within the home console versions). Despite being a playable character, Q can only be fought in Arcade Mode as a hidden boss if certain requirements are met by the player.

## Street Fighter 6

At the start of the World Tour mode, the player's created avatar enters Buckler Security, where Luke will give the player tutorial lessons as part of the "Basic Training Course". The player then engages in combat with a fighter named Bosch, who attempted to cheap shot the player beforehand. After Bosch is defeated, Luke instructs the player to leave Buckler Security and write their own story. On their adventure, they will travel the world in pursuit of true strength, while meeting up with several fighters along the way. Some of these fighters have very familiar faces and will take the player under their wing. These 'masters' will teach the avatar their personal styles to further progress them towards their goals.
