Characters
All the characters from 2nd Impact returned, with the exception of Shin Akuma, a computer-controlled version of Akuma with more powerful techniques (although, the character still exists in the game's code). All the returning characters, with a few exceptions, had new voice actors for 3rd Strike. The following five characters were added to the roster.
- Chun-Li - She is looking for a young orphan under her care who was kidnapped under mysterious circumstances. Voiced by Atsuko Tanaka.
- Makoto - A young Japanese girl, trained in karate. Since her father's death, Makoto's dojo, Rindoukan, has been floundering, so she seeks to challenge other fighters around the world to restore her school to a flourishing state. Voiced by Makoto Tsumura.
- Q - A mysterious figure wearing a mask and a concealing overcoat who is being pursued by the CIA. While he can be chosen as a playable character, he is a hidden computer-controlled opponent in the single-player mode. Voiced by Len Carlson.
- Remy - A long-haired fighter from France wearing a leather jacket emblazoned with an omega. He bears a grudge against all fighters after he and his late sister were abandoned by their father who decided to go fight. His move set is similar to Guile's and Charlie's. Voiced by Eiji Sekiguchi.
- Twelve - A shapeshifting soldier developed by Gill's organization. Twelve is ordered to hunt down his prototype, Necro, as his first mission. Voiced by Lawrence Bayne.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
“There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
