Additional characters from the SF2 roster were introduced as SF3 got its updated versions but the impression that this was a different sort of Street Fighter had already been made. Ryu had been the main character of all previous and future Street Fighter games (unless you count the Guile-centric "Street Fighter the Movie" lol).

Also, while SF3 did not initially focus on nor include many of the returning and beloved main characters, SF3 introduced a new main character. SF3 was not released (at least not immediately) to any of the most popular gaming platforms of the time which is part of the reason why it is less known to home gamers than SF2 or SF4. Street Fighter 3 is the sequel to the uber-famous SF2, 3rd Strike is the 3rd iteration of the SF3 series.

I would argue it is less accessible than it could have been, though by requiring a lot of skill to get deep into the game, they inspired a lot of die-hard SF3 fanatics.
