Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper is the first portable version of Alpha 3, named after a Japan-only arcade revision. While lacking much of the previous console-exclusive content due to GBA's limited cartridge size and button layout, it retains the full 35 characters from prior versions, and adds three more fighters from Capcom vs. SNK 2 (Maki, Yun, and Eagle).

The arcade version of Upper was eventually released worldwide for consoles in 2025 as part of Capcom Fighting Collection 2.

Unused Text

At offset 0xDFCFC is text for the stage select. Unlike the other ports, this one doesn't have a stage select, and only uses 15 of these stages. The complete list would find use in the Training modes of Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology.
