>>> TRIVIA
----------
The 'Giant Attack' subtitle refers to the 2 huge characters that are added to the Street Fighter III series with this game : Hugo and Urien.
Released in September 1997.
This is the only CPS3 game to feature a widescreen mode.
The character Hugo is based on the late WWF Hall of Famer Andre The Giant. He also made an appearance in 'Final Fight' as a non-boss enemy.
The character Urien is identical in figure and fighting style to the boss character, Gill, except that Urien has much less hair, and his skin is the same color on both sides.
Gill, the boss character, has added a new Super Art to his arsenal, 'Meteor Strike', which is the only one listed as available in the Vs. screen. However, he DOES still have access to his 'Resurrection' Super Art.
>>> TRICKS AND TIPS
-------------------
* To enable the widescreen mode, do the following : Go to Test Menu->Configuration->Game. Then change Screen Mode to Wide and save your settings.
* Hidden Character : To enable Gouki/Akuma as a playable character go to Test Menu->Configuration->Game. Then highlight in this order :
'Time Count Speed' and press START x3,
'Event' and press MK x2,
'Screen Mode' and press HK x3,
'Bonus Game' and press START x1,
'Damage Level' and press LK x4
If you hear Gouki's/Akuma's voice, the input was correct.
