Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper (Naomi) is the best version, why? all it have CPS2 versión with more characters, sadly is more expensive.

The Naomi version has some minor visual flaws and some minor additions.

15k - get the cps2 version (SFZ3).
31k - get the naomi version (SFZ3U).
Both cabs available - I'd be split really. I'd probably lean to cps2 given the choice...

On any screen SFZ3U's horizontal scaling is a bit wobbly on the characters. CRTs are quite forgiving but it's there if you're bothered by that sort of thing. To me, it's not a complete disaster but it's a factor that makes it look slightly less solid.

On a 15k screen naomi has annoying interlacing - which is a crime on a low res game with such nice pixel art. It's not worth putting up with for the extra stuff in Upper imo.

CPS2.

Upper Looks **** and just has too many characters. I can't stand fighting games with an overbloated cast. And T.Hawk's command grab has a whiff animation. **** that. :problem:

CPS2 hands down. From what I remember the timings are different in the Naomi game.

+1

CPS2 version looks much better.

I actually think that Zero 1 is the best of the series followed by Zero 2a

Alpha 2 is one of the better SF games imo.

The great thing about Zero 1, 2 and 3 is that they're all different games. I like them all! :awe:

That's true. To a skeptic it's hard to defend Streetfighter's constant updates but I'm so glad they dragged the series out as much as they did.

the Naomi Version is a port of the imperfect Dreamcast Version wich is an (extended) port of the SFZ3 Saturn version , wich was a port of the cps2 version. :crazy:

i just had to update my original posting, sprites are a tad bit smaller and timing was off compared tot he cps2 version, there are also flaws in the game mechanics , but you better ask a pro gamer about that.. i`m simple. :roboprob:

It's hardly the same as an old 16-bit console conversion though. 99% of people won't be able to tell the difference.

If all else is equal and the extra few characters in Upper don't bother you, then the CPS2 version is the one to side with, but otherwise, there's nothing wrong with Upper. It's not like there's a regular tournament circuit for Alpha 3 these days either.
