The Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max comes with 37 Street Fighter heroes, all legendary brawlers of Street Fighter Alpha and more, plus hero creations system for the first time on PSP. It also has Multi Player mayhem of up to three players fighting on screen at once, plus eight player tournaments and leagues, all comes with wireless connectivity.
