Trivia
This is the first Street Fighter game to adopt a rap/hip-hop urban theme.

'Q' is a rip off of Tekkaman from the manga, Babil Nisei.

Twelve's name is incorrectly spelt 'Tweleve' on the opponent selection screen. The mistake then appears again when the screen scrolls to display the next opponent choice.

Shin Akuma is present in the game code. Shin Akuma in 3rd Strike differs somewhat from his 2nd Impact guise. For a start, in 2nd Impact Shin Akuma had his own audio samples. In 3rd Strike, he shares Akuma's soundfile. His second Super Art is somewhat glitchy at times, and unlike 2nd Impact, he seems to have only 2 outfits. The blue colour outfit is for Player 1, and the white colour outfit for Player 2. Both are hardcoded.
