These rules are an attempt to insure that the tournament runs fairly and as smoothly as possible.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Solo Tournament

  • Free character select, best of three
  • The format will be double elimination: in each meeting, the winner continues in the winner bracket, the loser goes in the loser bracket. When the player loses in the loser bracket, he is permanently eliminated from the tournament
  • Side and character pick : see the dedicated topic below

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Team 3VS3 Tournament

  • Character locked, double or triple character allowed, best of one
  • The format will be double elimination: in each meeting, the winning team continues in the winner bracket, the losing team goes in the loser bracket. When the team loses in the loser bracket, it is permanently eliminated from the tournament
  • Team tournament with the “Strike” system (the player that wins stays until he is defeated), determined by a single match
  • If necessary, the team captains will play Janken: the winner decides which player to send first and the loser chooses which side to play

Global rules valid for all tournaments:

  • The tournaments will be held on the japanese arcade (CPS-3) version A of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, on versus cabinets
  • Be on time, no delay will be tolerated. If your delay blocks the smooth running of the tournament you will be sent to loser and eliminated if the delay persists
  • Players can't use bugs or glitches which would alter the normal course of the game, if so, the point is lost
  • It is allowed to exploit bugs that freeze the enemy and obtain a free combo setup, like Pierrot did to Otana at The Hado tournament in 2024
  • When both players are ready to play, they must come to an agreement which side of the machine they will play on (who will sit on 1p and who will sit on 2p). If an agreement cannot be reached, a game of Janken will determine who gets to pick their side
  • Gill is banned
  • In the case of game-breaking glitches happening accidentally (e.g. Ken winning against Makoto with a neutral throw or CPS3 failure), consult the organizers.
  • "Judgement" results are in effect.

Choosing Characters:

There are 2 methods for choosing characters: Standard Selection and Double Blind Selection. If the players do not discuss the method of character selection, it should be understood that the Standard method is being used. If the players cannot come to an agreement on the method of character selection, the judge will apply the double blind method.

  • Standard Selection: Both players choose their characters whenever they want. This is a free for all. Players pick who they want and go. Once either player chooses a character, neither is allowed to request that the Double Blind Selection method be used
  • Double Blind Selection: Either player must explicitly ask for the Double Blind Selection method before either player chooses a character. When a player requests Double Blind, the player on the left side (1p) decides which characters they will choose and whispers his selection to the Tournament Organizer. The Tournament Organizer then signals the player on the right (2p) to pick his characters. Once the player on the right (2p) has finished, the Tournament Organizer makes sure the player on the left (1p) sticks to his original choices

Once sides and characters have been chosen, the players should begin the first Game in the Match. The following rules go into effect once a Game ends.

  • The Match is over when either player wins the required number of games
  • Once a player has won the required number of games, the winner of the Match should report the result to the Tournament Organizer
  • The player who won the last game is required to keep the same character
  • The player who lost the last game is allowed to choose whatever characters they wish

Reporting Equipment Failure:

The buttons and joysticks can be faulty: they may occasionally break in the middle of a game, leaving the player with the hardware problem at a significant disadvantage. In this situation, the player has the right to stop the game in progress in order to obtain a replacement material. The equipments will be changed quickly and the game will have to be replayed fully if the issue is acknowledged by the referee.

Additional Rules:

  • Anyone refusing to play any Match (including the finals) will be disqualified and forfeit all rights to any titles or prizes they might have otherwise earned for that tournament
  • Tournament Organizer has a zero tolerance policy toward violence, threats of violence, intimidation, and other forms of thuggery. Any threat of violence, extreme intimidation, or violence of any kind will result in an immediate and lifetime ban
