Street Fighter III is a Capcom developed fighting game series and part of their Street Fighter franchise. Intended as the follow up to Street Fighter II and its subsequent re-releases, the series began with the arcade release of Street Fighter III: New Generation in 1997. The games featured a whole new cast, with the only returning members being Ryu and Ken, two characters introduced in the first Street Fighter video game. Subsequent sequels would add additional characters, with the third game, named Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike also seeing the return of Chun-Li from Street Fighter II.
