Summary

Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact – Giant Attack, often just called 2nd Impact, builds on the New Generation base with a sleek widescreen look thanks to its CPS‑3 hardware. The roster swells to fourteen, bringing back Hugo and Urien and finally separating Yang from Yun so each has his own moveset, while Akuma lurks as a secret challenger and the AI‑only Shin Akuma shadows him in the single‑player gauntlet. New mechanics shake up the flow: EX Specials cost super gauge, tech throws let you reverse enemy grabs, and a personal action system awards helpful taunts that can boost your performance. The Super Art gauge has been re‑tuned, and you can now escape throws for tighter defensive play. Bonus stages return too, with the quirky “Parry the Ball” mini‑game letting you hone the famous parry timing in a basketball‑themed showdown.

Storyline

In Street Fighter III 2nd Impact: Giant Attack, Hugo is a professional wrestler from Germany who is looking for a strong tag‑team partner for an upcoming tournament, and he is often accompanied by his manager Poison. Urien, Gill’s younger brother, seeks to usurp his brother’s leadership as President of their organization, wielding the ability to manipulate electricity and metal. Akuma appears as a secret challenger, and a more powerful computer‑controlled version called Shin Akuma is also present.
