(PS2 Anthology 60fps) SFA3↑ secret VS #5 - this game is almost too fast : o
1How to access Street Fighter Alpha 3 ↑ ("Upper") and its secret VS mode in Street Fighter Alpha Anthology on PS2:
1) In Anthology, beat Street Fighter Alpha 3. This unlocks Alpha 3 Upper (I suggest you save your progress to a memory card after this so you won't need to unlock it again in the future. : ).
2) From the main game select menu in Anthology, highlight Alpha 3, press and hold the Select button, and select Alpha 3. This loads Alpha 3 Upper, which resembles Alpha 3 (even the title screen logo looks identical, but you can change it to the slightly altered Upper logo in the secret options "star" menu--see below), but has more characters.
3) In Upper's main menu, highlight VERSUS. (If you want to play vs the CPU, first go to OPTIONS - GAME OPTIONS and set "VS MODE (2P)" to "COM.")
4) With VERSUS highlighted, press and hold X, and IMMEDIATELY also press R2 and Triangle.
== If you got that button sequence correct, the game will immediately go into a random character VS match, instead of going to the regular VERSUS mode's character selection screen. This is the secret VERSUS mode, where it goes from randomized character fight to fight automatically, through a pre-set sequence of the particular game's stages. To control which characters and play modes it chooses from, use the Pause screen menus.
All the games in Anthology have this mode; I play the one in Upper specifically because it has the less-flash-FX-intensive mode I want (Classic), more characters than Alpha 3, and better backgrounds than Hyper. What you see in this video is me playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 ↑'s secret VERSUS mode against the difficulty 8 CPU, both 1P and 2P set to X-ism & Classic mode only, with flash-FX-heavy characters omitted, and the flashing sequences between fights edited out.
Secret Option menu settings: go to a game's OPTION menu, hold R2, and select GAME OPTIONS to open the SECRET OPTION "dip switch" options menu. In Alpha 3 Upper, I enable row 1, star 12 (turns off counter hit flash FX), row 2, star 6 (turns on blood FX), and row 2, star 7 (turns on the ↑ swoosh graphic on Upper's logo).
~~~~~~~~~~
Always start off so slow in this; Alpha is fast-paced and not really like any other fighting game I'm playing currently; I keep thinking maybe I should turn the speed setting down or something. ; ) I'm gradually feeling like I know my way around a little more...and I also know which characters I'm still totally clueless on, which is way more than it should be! : P
The final match, a Zangief mirror match -- 35:20 -- was a lot of fun! ^_^
