so i was on vacation in Chicago last week. Saturday the 16th was my burfday and i went to the Galloping Ghost Arcade. it was awesome, and i spent a LARGE part of my time on the 3rd Strike machine lol. i beat it single player, and during that run, one guy asked to play me in a couple matches and i actually won both lol. today was my first day back at work and it sucked, but then i come home to see Max playing 3rd Strike....doesn't get any better than that. SHINE ON!!!!! 😄
Ah yes. I will now watch the new 3rd Strike Online Warrior instead of doing work things at work. It is a national holiday, after all. My boss will understand.
I think there is some kind of visual mod for the backgrounds, I could be wrong tho The spritework and animation are absolutely timeless though, I agree
as good as 6 is, this just has too much nostalgia for 6 to do anything about it. This is my ole school street fighter. I finally am beginning to understand the sentiment of the SF2 dinosaurs, having come to terms with the fact I am but a Third Strike Dinosaur and I am not alone.
That's understandable. But keep in mind that some people in the future will look back at SF6 the way we look at SF3 TS right now. It totally depends on the generation of gamers. I was lucky (even though i'm a 00s kid) to experience TS through arcades and it's still my favourite FG with T5 being a close 2nd. If it wasn't for arcades though i really don't know what my top FG would have been. Probably something more recent or even SF6.
I'd love to see more 3rd Strike. I play it from time to time on the 30th anniversary and I'm looking into the fight cade version to play with some friends. Such a charming game with some great stuff. I have immense respect.
It felt like that Makoto was on Turbo speed while everyone else is on normal. Haven't really watched 3rd Strike matches outside of Max's vids, but the number of parries that player pulled off and the buttons used ... My mouth dropped as much as if zi were hit by that crotch punch from her one super. 😳😵
For Max, Third Strike never left. If there's three from Third Strike I'd love to see come back in SF6, it's Elena, Makoto, and Necro. Elena and Makoto would look great in SF6 and I think they'd actually be able to Necro proper justice in the animation department, now. However, Necro's probably the least likely of the three to appear again since Dhalsim and Blanka's stupid ass are already in SF6.
Holy shit. For the first time ever, the phrase “blink and you’ll miss it” applies here. Damn this is fast. I’m not that versed in fighting games, is this one of the fastest? Also, love the content 😌
Kinda? Third Strike has parrying, which requires fast reflexes and character knowledge, but the gameplay is much more grounded and methodical than something like a Marvel vs Capcom game where characters are flying all over the place and stringing huge combos together. There are a few distinct subgenres in fighting games. Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are colloquially referred to as "footsies games" because of the stronger emphasis on ground-based movement and spacing while games like Guilty Gear and Undernight In-Birth tend to get labels like "airdasher" or "anime game" because of the high aerial mobility and pace of combat. Of course, that doesn't mean games like Third Strike are slow, since they can still have pretty insane and technical combos with just as high execution barriers as more off the wall games.
This is crazy I was just listening to Street fighter 3 2nd impact Gill's theme music extended once i finished playing the song unexpectedly max came out with this video it cant be a coincidence can it? lol 🤣
Upon seeing ScrubLord Max in the thumbnail, I immediately found myself looking for an image of Benny. It's the only defense against the ScrubLord that I know.
Does anyone have any info on which day he streamed this? Would be cool to see the rest and see him playing 3S after SF6 was out, which might be this case.
I can never get enough of Max playing 3rd Strike or Killer Instinct. Watching him play these games is home at this point.
I believe those are the games where he is the most comfortable, or at least that's the feeling i get
@@mfrebel7831 definitely
Street Fighter & Killer Instinct are his two favorite fighters by far.
The art style of 3rd Strike will NEVER die
It really is peak
It certainly aged better than Street Fighter 4's art style.
Exactly
And it looks even better with the sprite upgrade mod Max has on
NEVERRRRRRRRRR
Nothing beats watching third strike online matches after school
And when the world needed it most, it returned.
All the new fighting games are great, but the majesty of 3rd strike is forever. Good stuff Max.

Still surprised you haven’t done a 3rd strike Rate the super yet. Especially with a game as great as this.
TRUE
Lol, I've been thinking the same for ages.
Always love seeing Makoto. Interesting fight style for sure.
3rd strike is like that old friend you can never get tired of
Ah yes. I will now watch the new 3rd Strike Online Warrior instead of doing work things at work. It is a national holiday, after all. My boss will understand.
If I hadn't known when 3rd strike released I would've always thought this was a 2008 game
The visuals look so good for 1999

You act like you can't enjoy it lol
Just because I think crash 3 is the best crash, doesn't mean that I can't be madly in love with 2, etc

Always appreciate these matches videos, the vibe and everything around it takes me to those times at the arcade.
Thanks Max!
8:47 Makoto with a flow state is absolutely terrifying.
It felt like that Makoto was on Turbo speed while everyone else is on normal.
Haven't really watched 3rd Strike matches outside of Max's vids, but the number of parries that player pulled off and the buttons used ... My mouth dropped as much as if zi were hit by that crotch punch from her one super. 😳😵
I literally watched your 3rd strike vids again yesterday as I was starting to miss them. You've got great timing
For Max, Third Strike never left. If there's three from Third Strike I'd love to see come back in SF6, it's Elena, Makoto, and Necro.

Max playing 3rd Strike is like one of the best things I can put on youtube while I do my exercise rutine
I’m a simple man- I see a new max 3rd strike video = happy
3rd strike Makoto is always fun to see being played.
Even when sf6 first came out I was swapping between sf6 and third strike I still love them both.
You can tell how much Max loves this game and great to see him just having classic fun
Man I love these online worrier episodes
Ahhh Online Warrior :) this series is like a warm blanket. 😊
Something about this particular Third Strike. It looks clean as hell. The textures, the colors...
Holy shit. For the first time ever, the phrase “blink and you’ll miss it” applies here. Damn this is fast. I’m not that versed in fighting games, is this one of the fastest? Also, love the content 😌

It's the best fighting game. Still. Although I don't much like the version of it max is playing here.
who decided that a 3S OW episode wouldn't have THE intro???
Watching this for 4 minutes and now I'm craving to play it rn.
Truly one of the most amazing fighting game in existence
What would I give to have Makoto in Street Fighter 6. I love her gameplay. No fireballs, no dp's, just straight up CHESTO!!!!
Without a 100% death combo please
Killer Instinct and 3rd Strike are my favourite videos of mine dude. Hope you and the family are recovering x and Merry Christmas x
Third strike is STILL goated after all this time amazing!
Max's hair went from Ken Masters to Cody's length
The air parry for the air tatsu was SICK looking
You it's a good day when max uploads some third strike
Today I learned that Yo! Videogames is not an MTV sponsored show, it's just Max (realized that by looking at the text under the M)
Last time I was this early, regular episodes of 3rd Strike were still a thing
This is crazy I was just listening to Street fighter 3 2nd impact Gill's theme music extended once i finished playing the song unexpectedly max came out with this video it cant be a coincidence can it? lol 🤣
Upon seeing ScrubLord Max in the thumbnail, I immediately found myself looking for an image of Benny. It's the only defense against the ScrubLord that I know.
I will always enjoy watchin max play this game!
The thing is, Max always says there are too many games and not enough time... and will then play SF3 for 10 hrs
Love to see 3rd strike again. Thx and hope to see more man
That jump in EX tatsu parry was SICK
If I ran my own dojo I would for sure have fighting gameplay on the TVs
Good old third strike. Not even 6 will kill it
The image of Scrub Lord!😆
Max is back into the heat of battle with Street fighter 3 3rd strike.
He hasn't done the usual 3rd strike intro 😔
11:44 I used to think it was Hammer Meltdown.
Who's kicking your nuts. Oh wait it was me.
Damn, the video ended so quickly. More 3rd strike Max!
Max has reached Dad Level 13 with that haircut.
Karen levels haircut right there 😂😂
Even though his opponent lost can we give him the credit he deserves that he parried expressively
It’s so weird I literally just picked up doing online arcade runs on 30th anniversary edition for the first time in years and I’ve been going HARD
Yay
Max wit the Haircut! Always a shock 😆
I love the music in this game so much
I hope Max tries out 4RD Strike
that romhack is amazingly fun and funny for the die hards
Pixel art games... They are timeless jewels!
Does anyone have any info on which day he streamed this? Would be cool to see the rest and see him playing 3S after SF6 was out, which might be this case.
must've been way earlier this year since his hair is much shorter
Always love these 3rd strike vids Max.
God the sprite work always amazes me.
It is just so enjoyable and chill to watch this game. Wish i caught it live.
This is exactly what I needed
but why only 12 minutes of his more epic series?
Anyway I can get into this game in 2024? It looks so freaking awesome and difficult
digging the hair cut max not sure how long youve had it like that but im glad to be back watching the dood at work.
You should check out Online Edition again someday! It still has lots of people playing!
Is this the ps3 sf3 online edition you are talking about?
on console?
The retutn of THIRD STRIKE is here!!
Imagine if this game was revived like UMVC3 new characters added would be amazing
It's not funny or interesting or insightful to say this, but; I fucking love watching you play 3rd Strike, man.
3rd Strike's back on the menu boys!
How is he playing 3rd strike? I’m not actually sure the best way to play it but want to get into it, thanks!
