  • Today we're playing some Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, against one of the game's most famous low tier characters: Q! Q is usually considered bottom 3 in the game, but due to the power of his taunt, his command throw, and his powerful super combos, he can still pull off some exciting wins. First we'll do a character overview on what makes Q tick, then we'll hop into some matches against my Ryu and Urien.

    Depending on who you ask, Q is considered by a good chunk to be on the lowest end of Mid Tier, because the usual stuff shared with the bottom tiers in this game is low power overall... which is NOT the issue with Q; He can hit harder that most even with a fair few small combos, more so following up on a Super successfully. I feel that wasn't covered a whole lot, how his strong swings actually have a bit of sting to them, as his size being an issue isn't exactly unique to him.

      @EchoTheLight
      Well it being "just a game" isn't as valid objectively anymore as it used to be back then. Because back then gaming wasn't as varied and huge as it is now. Just like many people can have passion for something or hold a certain amount of sentiment for something also. If games aren't something you have a huge passion for PERSONALLY then that's okay. But to act like games are excluded from being of a significance to others? Then that's just ignorant.
      Games shouldn't be the exclusion. Otherwise if it was "just a game" then their wouldn't be tournaments, livestreams of it, channels & videos about it, etc. Yes there are still morons who stroke their ego but that's a case by case situation. You can play and take a game serious while being humble too. It's just a lot harder.

    Q’s taunt is actually a 3 stacks per round effect.
    Each stack is a 12.5% defense up.
    So against Q if they get 3 taunts off unharmed you need to fight them with a 37.5% damage down for an entire round

    I wish I could keep the mental fortitude this guy has to stick by Q. I stuck by Q since the moment I touched this game, usually didn't taunt, but I'd sneak them in if someone was too strong for my normal defense. But it became too much at times.
    Trying to improve, get better at throw breaks, going for a bit more mix, poking with his quicker moves, upping my block game, etc. it seemed like no matter what I did, how I varied my play, none of it matter. I couldn't rank up any more and more than that, I couldn't stand a chance against any of my friends (they're insanely good, having fought JWong and the like and play better characters like Chun and Dudley by default) but still that shit is just disheartening when you play a friendly set amassing like 50 to 60 games and not even getting 3 wins, and even when I do win it feels like they just took it extra easy or I got lucky that they auto-piloted at some random interval. As of right now I'm "retired", not sure if I want to return or just let that part of my fighting game experience die out. Playing a different character besides Q could be in the cards, but I just love him so much and no one else appeals to me as much as he does other than Twelve and that is NOT a good idea. The plateau is just... too frustrating.

      It's hard to see it that way when they can shutdown or parry anything I attempt to do for 30 games straight then all of a sudden I get a few good hits in and pull away with a single win. I don't now how good it is for my mental at the time, but maybe I'll hop back on to see what I can do. But not too soon , and especially not against them right now. They're PHENOMENAL friends, but fighting them just reminds me how unfair 3rd Strike can be at times.
