Despite his status as a regularly selectable character, the CPU version of Q can only be fought in the single-player mode as a secret challenger. The single-player mode consists of fighting ten regular opponents, which includes a character-specific rival as the penultimate opponent and Gill as the final boss for each of the characters except for Gill himself, whose final boss is Alex. Special points are also awarded after fulfilling specific requirements. The game also introduces a grade-based "Judgement System", in which the winning player in a single or two-player match is graded after the match based on offense, defense, techniques, and extra points. A "Guard Parry" is also known as a "Red Parry" because the character turns red when performing it. Additionally, the player can perform a "Guard Parry" or a parry during a guard stun if the timing is right. The commands for air parries, throws/holds, and leap attacks were changed from 2nd Impact. All of the returning characters from the previous Street Fighter III games were given new stages, endings, and voice actors for certain characters, continuing the overall storyline from where the first two games left off.
