Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

The second updated version of Street Fighter III which adds new characters (Makoto, Q, Remy, Twelve, and the return of Chun-Li), new music, storylines, more super arts for each character, a grading system, a manual throw system, and path selection.

The most significant change is the introduction of the guard parry, which helps defend against multi-hit combos.

The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Gamevaro tracks Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 1999.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
