Necro was included to substitute Dhalsim but since most people can’t stretch their limbs through the miracle of yoga, they made Necro an android. The original idea for Oro was a Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner. Ibuki was made to fulfil the role of the traditional ninja. The team wanted Yun and Yang to be popular characters from the start so they made them flashier than Alex who was made to be a simple protagonist.ĭudley was made to counter the 'bad boxers' who appeared in the previous games ( Mike and Balrog) and because boxing was known as being a 'gentleman's sport' that was currently being perfected in England. Elena was made in the staff's image of an African woman so they gave her Capoeira as a fitting fighting style for her. The team already decided on having Ryu in the game so they made Alex a grappler to give him his own identity. Martial arts are more popular in America than in Japan, so they decided to have the main character be American which led to the creation of Alex.

Ryu was popular as the Japanese karate fighter, in Tomoshi Sadamoto's perspective, pro wrestling was what he thought of when it came to American fighting. North America wasn't Street Fighter's main market at the time. When the game was called New Generations, the roster was entirely brand new, but once Akiman joined he proposed that they add Ryu and turn the game into a Street Fighter game. Despite it being a losing battle the team decided to fight anyway. Akiman knew the 2D graphics couldn’t win against that and believed the only way SFIII could compete was by making something that would go down in the annals of gaming history. By the time SFIII started development Virtua Fighter was already dominating the arcades.

The reason it became a Street Fighter game was due to Capcom's fighting games outside of Street Fighter not selling well at the time and because the new characters didn’t have a lot of personality.

Bison's role from the previous games as the new boss character. Likewise, a new antagonist named Gill took over M. The game, which was designed as a direct sequel to the Street Fighter II series, discarded all the original characters, with the exception of Ryu and Ken, with an all-new character roster led by Alex (hence the ' New Generation' subtitle).
