All three modes have variations of movesets for each character, adding considerable depth to the gameplay. X-ism has the highest attack power but least defence, A-ism has more attack power than V-ism and a similar level of defence. To activate V-ism's Super Combo, the player has to press both kick and punch of the same strength. In X-ism, the player cannot air-block nor perform Alpha Counters, and can only use 1 Super Combo move in its powerful Level 3 version. The third style, V-ism (or 'variable' style), is a unique style that allows the player to perform custom combos similar to the ones in Street Fighter Alpha 2, but cannot use Super Combos. X-ism is a simple style based on Super Street Fighter II Turbo (the term 'X-ism' being a reference to that game's Japanese title, Super Street Fighter II X), in which the player has a single-level Super Combo gauge and access to a single but powerful Super Combo move. The standard playing style, A-ism (or Z-ism in Japan), is based on the previous Alpha games, in which the player has a three-level Super Combo gauge with access to several Super Combo moves. Street Fighter Alpha 3 discards the 'Manual' and 'Auto' modes from the previous Alpha games and instead offers three different playing styles known as 'isms' for the player to choose from.
