Kousyu Street, Eclipse, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

Kousyu Street is Akuma's stage in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. An old flagstone road which passes through a cave with trees and rocks by the wayside in Japan, adorned with jizō statues in the countryside. It has two versions which differ slightly in coloration: in the "1:55 AM" version when Akuma is fought in his normal form, a full moon glows in the background; but in the version when Akuma is fought in his "Shin" form, a lunar eclipse occurs, casting a red glow across the stage.

Trivia[]

  • The stage is likely to have been based on the area in Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation, known to Ryu and Ken as the place where Akuma can be found and where Ryu and Chun-Li approach Akuma for answers about Shun's lineage; this area also contains wooden statues which Akuma shatters with ki from an unseen position and which appear to move ominously in response to Akuma's presence.
  • It's possible that the red eclipse present in the "Shin" version of the stage is a reference to the popular Japanese Manga series Berserk by Kentaro Miura.
