Parrying is a significant technical addition to the Street Fighter III series (referred in the Japanese version as "blocking" in Japan blocking an attack is referred as "guarding") where players must react by pressing forward (for a high attack) or down (for a low attack) an opponent's attack to deflect as well as receive no damage if an attack depletes vitality when blocked.

Introduced in 2nd Impact, players can parry multiple basketballs thrown by Sean and the car crushing mode from Final Fight is here.

If the round ends in a draw, the match will be determined by performance of both players.Īfter every three matches in arcade mode, players can partake in bonus stages. If players deplete their meters at the same time, it will result in double KO giving both a round win. The goal of the game is to deplete a opponent's vitality meter before the times runs out.
