This page details prerelease information and/or media for Virtua Fighter 3.

The location test version of Virtua Fighter 3 contained multiple differences from the final release, which itself saw multiple revisions. This included numerous character costumes, stages, and music.

Hmmm...
To do:
Find images/scans of the unused early stages.

Location Test Footage

Video Description
"Another Costumes" video from the Virtua Fighter History disc packed in with the Japanese version of Shenmue II. The costumes shown above are shown, along with a visibly different version of Sarah's subway stage. Lau's stage uses the song "Tears of Falling" instead of "Raging Wind"; the former of which would later be used in Virtua Fighter 3tb for the Dural version of Taka-Arashi's stage, and the the "Underground" song from Sarah's stage has different instrumentation. The announcer is also different, using re-recorded voice clips from what sounds like the same actor from the first two games in the series, rather than the new one used in the final.
A better look at Lau's stage, which begins at a different camera angle and has the same music as the above video.
More early footage of Sarah's subway stage.
A throw technique of Lion's that was removed from the final version, likely replaced by the "under the legs" surprise exchange.
More of Shun's removed alt costume.
Kage vs. Aoi in Aoi's stage. The waterfalls in the stage have a different height, and both Kage and Aoi's outfits have noticeable differences from the finalː Kage's shoes and pants are a different color, while Aoi's long, flowing sleeves are missing.
