Question About the Ism's of Alpha 3?
Kami-Sama
combos? Is the move the same for all characters? And how come the moves
of alpha 3 are not as flashy as in x-men vs street fighter or mvsc or
mvsc2?

I've kind of wondered why they haven't tried some tournies with just one
ism in them at least for fun/variety. Maybe a x-ism only tourney or a
x/a ism only. Heck, maybe a Saikyo tournament! Of course you would
need versions without bugs in them for those weird %99 moves. Note,
I've no idea about the scene much other than what I read here and saw at
the Alpha3 tournament last year(2 years ago?) at SJ Nickle City. From
my vantage point all I ever heard of was V-Ism this and that with the
occaisonaly break for Xism Geef or Dhalsim. Maybe this is dumb idea?
