Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack is an update of New Generation that introduced characters Hugo and Urien to the series and brought back EX specials from the CD versions of Street Fighter: The Movie as well as Akuma from Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

Unused Text#

There is a dialogue from Gill that goes unused but can still be seen using cheats to play as the latter, if a mirror match occurs, Gill's dialogue will be "You dare to imitate my power? You shall suffer for this insult!"

Notes: Specifically Ken and Urien's unused voice lines.

New Generation Leftovers#

The previous game's subtitle remains as a leftover announcer voice clip.

A leftover rain sound from New Generation, where it was heard during one of the round variations of Dudley's stage.

Parry Minigame#

These sounds suggest that the "Let's Practice Parrying" bonus game was originally planned to be playable with two players, but in the actual game it's single-player only.

Akuma#

Akuma saying "Gouzanku!", the name of his air fireball special attack.

Ken#

Voice lines belonging to Ken. The last one would later be used for one of Ryu's fight intros in Marvel vs. Capcom.

Elena#

To do:
Remove the Japanese sentence from the second file, as it actually is used: Elena says it at the beginning of a mirror match.

Elena saying "I feel the spirits". A handful of unused yells. Their intended purpose is unknown.

Urien#

A Japanese voice line from Urien. "Yokoso shin no teiou!" ("Welcome the new emperor!") Oddly enough, this didn't get an English voice translation in 3rd Strike.

Yang#

A myriad of grunts from Yang.

Regional Differences#

  • Hugo's third Super Art is called Hammer Mountain (ハンマーマウンテン) in the Japanese version, in the US version it's called Hammer Frenzy. This difference was carried to 3rd Strike, but other future games with Hugo kept the Japanese version's name.

Japan

US

  • In the Japanese version, the text shown before the ball-parrying bonus game says "Let's BLOCKING!", but in the US version it says "Let's practice PARRYING!". Note that parrying is called blocking (ブロッキング) in Japan.

Japan

US

  • In the Japanese version, Urien's animation when losing a round by Time Over has him strongly grab his biceps, to the point of hurting himself and squirting out blood. The blood was removed in the US version, this change was also carried to 3rd Strike.

Japan

US

  • In the Japanese version, Akuma's defeat portrait has him vomit out natural-colored red blood. In the US version, his blood is green... why green? Who knows, but it indeed looks weird.
