@@TheFirehands150 Well, Ken has more broad focus, He can focus on more things than just figuring, but this also means his ability to grow as a fighter is somewhat stilted, which is why he's shown to be somewhat hesitant towards trying to mentor Sean at first.
@@sv32099 Maybe it has more to do with how Ken and Ryu grew up together, so Some of Ryu's Tricks will usually work on anyone else, but Ken saw and maybe even learned those tricks himself, obviously finding the weakness in it.
Man, this game looks amazing. I love the detail that, when you are dashing and you get hit with a sweep, you actually fall forward. These little animation details make this game so much more special in my opinion.
Ken: "You never get tired of this, do you?" Ryu: "I could say the same to you..." Ken: "Okay, I'll make this Quick and easy for you! Prepare to be defeated!" Ryu: "You may think so, But I still got a better win record! Stand Strong!"
@@bryanperezbustos6049 They are best friends. There was never any animosity between them. Virgil and Dante hated each other. (I never got to play V, so that was def a spoiler)
@@esmooth919 I don't think they hated one another. It's more like they had different reactions to a traumatic event, that led them down different, mutually antagonistic paths. Their way of dealing with this trauma just happened to involve stabbing each other with their dad's antique swords
You can't say ShoRyuKen without Ryu and Ken the iconic duo of the Street Fighter series. That's like having Mortal kombat without Scorpion and Sub-Zero. 3rd Strike announcer: "Yeah that makes sense." Max is the true Ken Master.
Hey, Ryu! HOWDOOOKEN! Can I use the bathroom? SUUURE YOU CAN! Oh drinks! You know where the glasses are at? SINKUUUU..... Whelp, gotta go Ryu. ADIEUUUUKEN!
I love how this game is not about doing long ass hard to time combos, most of the time you just link a few hits with a soecial or ex move and supers, there are longer combos but its not the only way to play, and its so fast paced that you just want to keep playing, no overly drawn out win screen and a loading screen
@@system331 did you not read my comment? I said there are long combos, and with that i imply more advanded ways to do stuff, but you can succeed with different playstyles
I haven’t been able to play fighting games much anymore, so I don’t get to a lot of Max’s videos like I used to. But you bet your ass I’m here every time there are 3rd Strike matches.
I've never played 3rd strike, but I do love the Ryu vs Ken match up in smash. Usually when I find someone who plays Ken when I'm playing Ryu, we dash to the middle of the stage, fist bump, then dash back to the opposite side of the stage.
I recently bought the 30th anniversary collection on sale and always find myself alternating between this iconic duo over the many SF games. Ken's theme is probably my favorite SF character theme of all time.
Cool to see Max still does these, just recently started from Episode 1. This is a video concept I wanna try to spin on my channel. Starting to gain more interest in SF lately too.
Ryu and Ken are the best Duo in Game History, Their Relationship with Chun LI of course is so wholesome and awesome. Those 3 started street fighter. Those 3 are in every game. Ryu and Ken have the best friendship and they like to spar with each other. Ryu, Ken and Chun LI just have this bond because they know each other so well and will together when they need too. Ryu and Ken are the best fighting and iconic duo. We need more, Ryu, Chun LI and Ken moments. Name a more Iconic Trio in Gaming.
that last set starting around 15:40 was perfect. like, EVERYTHING was perfect. even the particular Ryu that was used was perfect. i'm not a fan of the red gloves on Ryu. i liked the brown/black gloves more because it makes the headband stand out IMO. but yea, GREAT set!!! :D
Ok but how smooth was that parry to Super at 1:05 😵💫 I know I only started played 3rd strike a few days ago and learned cancels into supers pretty fast but idk if I'll ever be this smooth/consistent with it...goals to work towards!
I've heard Birdie was complete ass back in Alpha 2, but is he better in Alpha 3? I really want to try out the alpha games, and I like playing Birdie in 5.
> You feel powerful when you land a hit. Except if you play a character that's not Ken like say, Ibuki, then you learn to hate this game because Ibuki was horribly horribly nerfed between SF3-1, SF3-2 to SF3- Third Strike where she does little damage, have small EX bar, is punished by everything she does pretty much and takes absurd damage from hits.
No joke I just found out about fightcade! Never knew there about it thought I had to buy the sf collection to play 3rd strike an randomly found fightcade! Grinding 3rd strike till sf6!
Street Fighter was so much more fun in the Alpha/3 era. They should get back to that melding of speed and style. This is how good fighting games were when they weren't built for online play.
I've never played 3rd Strike so can someone be kind enough to tell me the difference between Ryu and Ken gameplay wise? Except for the supers of course
Ryu is slower and so tends to have a slower play style, but hits harder and takes more damage. Ken and Sean are a bit faster, but have bit less health. And Akuma has the most aggressive faster paced play style, but has the least health of them four
Ken is a "staple" character now, but imo he was the only character that felt out of place in sf2turbo. That Blond/Japanese duo was way overplayed in Japnese games and media back then, still kinda is.
I want to play third strike more often online but where can i play it? I already play the 30th anniversary but i dont find many people on there. Always the same people. I play it on the ps5 and i also want to learn the game more
I main ken, but currently I have only an 8bitdo controller and it's just not precise enough. The joysticks get in the way of inputs... especially multiple dragon punches. So basically I just have to play almost all fundamentals...which works but I'm sure people would complain about it being boring...pfft I'll do whatever I have to win...
Call me a 'member berry if you will, but it saddens me to know that Third Strike marked the end of good Street Fighter; badass and fluid 2D animation, a coherent story direction, an awesome art direction, and a focus on awesome characters and martial arts! You had choices with the Super Arts with how you'd play a character. Now it's goofy nightmare Bison faces, suddenly-buff proto-Nazi kids, singular win poses and supers, Rashid absolutely ruining the reunion between Guile and Charlie, and green Brazilian monsters making goofy faces at crane machines. Honestly, Twelve is probably the weakest thing to me when it comes to the roster and story, but everything about this game makes it an amazing work of art! Will always hold a place in my video gaming memory forever.

Fun Fact: Canonically, between the two, Ryu has won more Fights, a fact that Ken is slightly annoyed about.

You fall forward, but you still land on your back as if you fell backward. Lol

Ken is the Capcom "I could do this all day" character.
I'd like to think that Ken & Ryu are somewhat like Dante & Vergil at the end of DMCV.

Always a pleasure to see third strike vids. Never gets old.
Ryu and Ken have always been the most positive characters in the series. They're always shouting "SURE, YOU CAN!".
Hey, Ryu!
HOWDOOOKEN!
Can I use the bathroom?
SUUURE YOU CAN!
Oh drinks! You know where the glasses are at?

Ryu, Ken and Terry Bogard are truly the nicest main character fighters around lol
I'm so glad that you've continued to upload episodes of this series throughout the years. I'll never get tired of watching 3rd Strike videos.

It's funny you say this is fast paced because when 3rd strike came out people thought it was kinda slow
@@joshhoke5637 I agree that, compared to SFV, 3rd Strike feels fast.
I haven’t been able to play fighting games much anymore, so I don’t get to a lot of Max’s videos like I used to. But you bet your ass I’m here every time there are 3rd Strike matches.
Started playing 3rd Strike recently because of these videos, it’s a wicked fun game. Keep up the great work.
That intro to this series is so dope.

same dude. I love this and watching old mike ross and gootecks play sf
I recently bought the 30th anniversary collection on sale and always find myself alternating between this iconic duo over the many SF games. Ken's theme is probably my favorite SF character theme of all time.
Is that what he's playing this on?
@@LordAurix no max is on fightcade
@@Vegachamp ah-ha, ok, thank ya, i'll have to check it out!
There's a reason why 3rd Strike is one of my go-to fighting games, despite the fact that I am nowhere near as good as my man Max here.

never get tired of watching max play this game
Bruh. Ryu vs Ken fights are always good to watch!
3rd Strike... The greatest fighting game ever. 💪
Between this and SSF2 two of my best fighters love them!
I always love the dumb mouth noises Max starts making whenever he wants to mangle Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku
3:01
the animation for stepkick into cr parry cr mk is so fucking clean why does it look so good
Because this game has some of the best animation in general :D
For a 2D game, the animations looks sooo smooth, it's very impressive
God this game is forever amazing. I would love to see 6 move like this.
that last set starting around 15:40 was perfect. like, EVERYTHING was perfect. even the particular Ryu that was used was perfect. i'm not a fan of the red gloves on Ryu. i liked the brown/black gloves more because it makes the headband stand out IMO. but yea, GREAT set!!! :D
Watching Max play SF3 or KI is like listening to awesome music
Best description ever hands down
19:07 that L.Tatsu then parry from the Ryu was really cool looking.
Just wanted to drop in the comments my respect for Ryu's stage theme in this game.
It is a dope theme, but for me, nothing seems to top the CPS1 version of his theme from SF2 (outside of the arranged version of Alpha 1)
Never tire of good 3rd Strike content!
IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED!!!!! A NEW SF3 ALBUM IS COMING OUT FROM INFINITE!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
I could watch you play this game forever, dood
Max was on fire this video
I love his online warrior series i dont play but i love watching people play 3rd strike
Love this game, best fighting game ever.
Do you think any fighting game is gonna bring parries back like this?
This game had it pretty right.
[Best side series on this channel]
WOOOO that third strike intro is tooooooo fire.
Max is so solid. Love it
Never really got into street fighter much, mostly cuz I'm pretty bad at it😅 but I still enjoy fighting players on whatever level they are capable of.
3rd Strike and Alpha 3 is the only games in the franchise I can actually enjoy, and I've played most if not all of them. I don't know why.
Ok but how smooth was that parry to Super at 1:05 😵💫 I know I only started played 3rd strike a few days ago and learned cancels into supers pretty fast but idk if I'll ever be this smooth/consistent with it...goals to work towards!
sf3 as a whole has a weird vibe about it that always put me off playing it, but this was a blast to watch as a sfa3 Ken main
I've heard Birdie was complete ass back in Alpha 2, but is he better in Alpha 3? I really want to try out the alpha games, and I like playing Birdie in 5.
@@HollyBunnySilly Birdie and Sodom always wash me when I fire up arcade mode :(
I haven’t played street fighter since this game came out, but I still like to watch a good fight, those ken ryu fights were amazing.
The fact that max is a c rank makes me feel less bad that I'm a d rank
3rd Strike is so fuckin sick
ah always a treat to watch some 3rd strike fights
Max you are an amazing person 💪🏽😎💯
third strike never gets old baby
19:22 "Let's get these two rounds in a row CHAT! ..... >.> Whoops.
"That's banana Ken, chat"
Silly Max you're not playing SF5.
This was a joy to watch.
Wassup Max? Good matches bro!
Max...Thank You.
Love the fact that this game looks like an anime
> You feel powerful when you land a hit.
Except if you play a character that's not Ken like say, Ibuki, then you learn to hate this game because Ibuki was horribly horribly nerfed between SF3-1, SF3-2 to SF3- Third Strike where she does little damage, have small EX bar, is punished by everything she does pretty much and takes absurd damage from hits.
10:58 max losing his mind 👆😳
Ken: can i rematch you?
Ryu: Sureyoucan
No joke I just found out about fightcade! Never knew there about it thought I had to buy the sf collection to play 3rd strike an randomly found fightcade! Grinding 3rd strike till sf6!
Good stuff, man!
The last "TRUE" Street Fighter
Street Fighter was so much more fun in the Alpha/3 era. They should get back to that melding of speed and style. This is how good fighting games were when they weren't built for online play.
To this day... Best SF ever created
Always love to see sf3 content
Why do they use the Japanese version on fightcade? Seems like choosing super would be confusing
Not when you just focus on the numbers like most players do.
Sho-Ryu-Ken
*Who’s Sho?*
F~!@ the haters max keep on giving us dope content family ✌🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Rock on dude
I suck at SF3 but it’s the best one to watch by far.
What version is Max playing here? and on what platform? does anyone know?
Ryu and Ken do a fistpump right before they right... that is adorable and wholesome omg
I've never played 3rd Strike so can someone be kind enough to tell me the difference between Ryu and Ken gameplay wise?
Except for the supers of course
Ryu is slower and so tends to have a slower play style, but hits harder and takes more damage.
Ken and Sean are a bit faster, but have bit less health.
And Akuma has the most aggressive faster paced play style, but has the least health of them four
@@Bakedea87 thank you kind sir
@@Rubicon-23 it was a pleasure
So how is Max playing 3rd strike like this??
Fightcade my guy
Black magic
@@sqwid12 Thank you!
I love to see Justin wong chun li vs max Ken!! Make it happen max!!
"Yea this makes sense!"
I assume this is Fightcade, correct? Is this considered the best way to play?
Ken is a "staple" character now, but imo he was the only character that felt out of place in sf2turbo. That Blond/Japanese duo was way overplayed in Japnese games and media back then, still kinda is.
What system are you playing on?
Man I miss that Max 3rd strike intro
I want to play third strike more often online but where can i play it? I already play the 30th anniversary but i dont find many people on there. Always the same people. I play it on the ps5 and i also want to learn the game more
I want to see Max's Kenberly vs Aris's Mexican Akuma
Was this played on fightcade?
That really sounds like "just the two of us"
So a DP can just refer to any uppercut? I thought DP was, specifically, invincible uppercuts?
Good
I've seen this game on yt before
I was just playing a Ryu vs Ken match before this
It's weird. Sf3 is probably my least favourite SF to play but my favourite to watch Max play
2 things
Can u auto correct a dp shoryuken
And
Can u Perry a Perry
And I’m still new to SF3
K' Ken looks awesome.
I main ken, but currently I have only an 8bitdo controller and it's just not precise enough. The joysticks get in the way of inputs... especially multiple dragon punches. So basically I just have to play almost all fundamentals...which works but I'm sure people would complain about it being boring...pfft I'll do whatever I have to win...
Even after that Yang player revealed WHY he was trying to command grab, he was doing it WAY too much.
3rd strike is so fkn sick
This the "knock you out" intro a Maximilian made thing or something Capcom did?
If you mean the song that's 3rd strike online edition menu theme, the video footage is from his previous episodes
Yeah I was gonna say, every intro for like online warrior and stuff like that is normally his hype footage and structured edits
i suck at sf3, cant do a parry for my life but is a really fun game to watch
Denjin is terrifying.
Sony just dropped a brand new Bloodborne comic!
SF3 story is before or after SF5?
After.
Is this the third strike on PlayStation?
