The Madman's Gone Beta Testing SFA3!
It was the most eeriest beta testing imaginable. Only two people were allowed in the room with the game machine- the players.
Everyone else waiting were not allowed a peek...  But thanks to the moves list freely distributed by the arcade: GameFantasia, it
should be up on the Cafe' as well in no time!
----Remember Cody's infinity from Final Fight? Well now it's a super combo...
----Cody can dodge like characters in The King Of Fighters.
----Cody can pick up a knife and stab or throw it. It won't disapper like in Final Fight.
----Rolento Finally moves forward in his Patriot Circle.
----Is there an "advancing guard" system in the game?
----R.Mika has a interchangable throw.
----Karin has an interchangable tripple attack, plus upper and lower move counters.
----If the player doesn't wake up in the air when hit, he/she can be comboed to death.
----E.Honda seems utterly strong..

Cody's Storyline:
After settling Metro City in Peace, Cody still could not live as a normal man. With his blood calling out for even more fights, Cody was
soon  back out in the streets punching out hoodlums to the hospital.  It was not that later that Cody found himself in jail for all his
deeds, being farewelled by his former lover Jessica.
 

PS- Darklancer (of the Lancer's Arcade) was commenting that-
1- Cody looks like... Macdonald's Ham-burgular...
2- R.Mika... Sigh.. Spice Gal...
