    As of June 2011 this is probably the best fighting game on PSP. I would say it is comfortably better than T5DR (which is still an amazing game - maybe a 9), and much better than Tekken 6 which was a let down.

    I have a fight stick for my ps3 and 360. However, there is no fighting game that I've played as much as this one. Being able to grab it anywhere and play, and the amount of options and characters, the classic street fighter depth, the controls (although tough coming from sf4, great once learned)..... just everything. The only personal issue is that I find Sagat to difficult to play, andI have a fight stick for my ps3 and 360. However, there is no fighting game that I've played as much as this one.

The only personal issue is that I find Sagat to difficult to play, and he's my main. I've gone on to Ryu but sometimes I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. Oh well, that's just me. Pointless to mention it really. Anyways, here is my easy 10.… Expand

    I voted it from a 6 to a 9 to a 10 cause I thought about it for a second.....tried to think of all of the problems with the game, couldn't find any! This game is for anyone, but if u really had lower gen. Games its not for you.

    Good game, wrong console. The PSP does not have the ergonomic design needed for a fighting game. The game itself is great, albeit old, but on the PSP you wouldn't know it unless you played it in the arcade.

    Best fighting game in the PSP beter than tekken... Anyway I have both and I like the great arcade feel of the game, the controls are perfect I can execute the commands perfectly using the analog cause I've been using my analog for every single game that has that option so it's quite loose. Control wise definetely better than tekken.

    Whatever any street fighter fan might be looking for in a PSP port can be found here, for sure. The world tour mode is fun (I beat it about 11 times) and has enough variety to be great. Dramatic battle is cool. The core gameplay is tight and has the satisfying quick response that classic fighting game players will enjoy.

The world tour mode is fun (I beat it about 11 times) and has enough variety to be great. Dramatic battle is cool. The core gameplay is tight and has the satisfying quick response that classic fighting game players will enjoy. Even for those not as familiar with fighting games, the bold roster and interesting games modes can be a fun introduction to the genre. I don’t like V-sim at all, but it doesn’t come up enough for me to feel like it takes away from the gameplay. It’s great! The characters which are unique to this game alone make it worth checking out.… Expand

    Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max tales everything the PS version of “Street Fighter Alpha 3” had, miniaturizes it, and adds a couple of new features. [Mar 2006,p.86]

    One of Capcom's last great fighting games is now fully intact on the PSP, right down to the last pixel. It even boasts some extras not found in previous versions.

    Every aspect of the game; the gameplay, the graphics, the audio, and all of the various play options; just oozes "arcade" quality, except that this version of the game outshines the original arcade release in every conceivable way.
