Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future (ストリートファイターⅢ サードストライク FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE) is a 2D fighting game developed and published by Capcom, originally released for the arcades in 1999. It was ported to the Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, and Xbox between 2000 and 2010. A downloadable online version titled Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition was released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in 2011.
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike is the second follow-up to Street Fighter III, following Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact. Like its predecessors, it runs on the CP System III hardware. 3rd Strike increased the character roster by adding five new characters, notably including Chun-Li. It also added further refinements to the previous game's play mechanics and rules. The game was well received in all of its versions. Coming May 2018, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future will be included as part of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection set to be released for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Steam, & Nintendo Switch.
