3s is not a "true" SF game. It's a good game but not a pure SF. A3 and 3S kinda abandon the idea of keeping the spirit of SF games and are interesting in ways that the other games in the series are not for it.
@@Horatiification I was answering about 3s being a "true" SF game, or even the last one. a3 is a contemporary and is also a drastic departure from traditional SF. TBH I remember when ST came out with super combos and people were mad about that then saying it was a bs comeback mechanic and not "true" SF
MalikEmmanuel Abandon the spirit of SF?? 3S is all about spirit from the moment I first saw the intro and Ryu and Ken tapped fists 👊 I felt my SF spirit rejuvenated!
As much as I love this game, I hate watching tournaments because Chun-Li ruins it. She's too easy to use effectively compared to the rest of the cast. Sure, Yun may be considered just as good as her, but look at how much effort and execution is required to use him.
That's why I love watching cooperation cup. Japanese players are so next level and they have a lot of low tier gods like Kuroda, Pierrot, PinoAB7, etc. Watching low tier masters beat up on lazy Chun Li pickers is VERY satisfying. I think the lack of diversity in the US is simply lack of imagination and dedication to the game.
I'm fairly new to the FGC, but does anyone actually like Vicious? I've heard him commentate on so many things and he's pretty much always been obnoxious for me to listen to.
we got multiple peeps in the FGC with diffrent ways of expressing and commenting so all i got to say say is if you dont like him, i respect that and watch more/diffrent tournaments and stuff with casters and players and find what you like sincerely a guy whose in 6months in the fgc as an audience
Balrog is Tyson (without the amazing weaving that made Tyson great), Dudley is Sugar Ray Robinson. I wonder if one day SF6 will get us a smaller modern boxer based on Mayweather, Pacquiao or Lomachenko.
Lol, you want a character based on Mayweather? His special tactic would probably be avoiding and dodging his opponent as soon as he get's a health lead to get a win by a time over.
"Man, modern fighting games-"[KEN VS YUN]"-are stale as shit, everyone always just-"[CHUN VS YUN]"-picks the same couple of characters all-"[YUN VS YUN]"-the time."
to be fair, this really only proves that fighting games in general are stale and everyone picks the same few characters aside from a few games from both time periods. i think most people don't hold older fighting games higher in terms of staleness.

@David Kirk never had it that bad of a problem, but my dpad wears out pretty fast, but ive learned that i can buy replacement parts on Amazon($5) for a 2 pack.
I'd recommend getting an arcade stick, Hori eX2 is a cheap stick that's great to learn on. I switched from Dpad to stick a few years ago and never looked back.
The easiest way to get started would be setting up Fightcade for your PC.Otherwise Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection or Third Strike Online Edition for 360/ps3 have training mode and are fine to get started.Arcade is the preferred version to play for tournaments though.
I love 3rd Strike but the characters in Top 8 is a sleeper. It’s disappointing that this game favors the same 3 characters in high level play, I almost want a tournament that bans Chun-Li, Ken, and Yun. Oh well
That's the sad reality of like, every fighting game, in tourneys people play the good characters for wins, no matter how busted or good they might be. This is before patch updates, but I wonder if she would be nerfed in any aspects if this game came out nowadays
It’s not always that black and white dude, there’s plenty of instances where low/mid tier characters make waves. Also this game has the parry mechanic so with the right strategy any character is viable (easier said than done tho). Thanks for sharing something I already knew and adding to the convo :) like I didn’t know that while making the comment
Sf3 came out back in 1999, when arcade games was extremely popular, so its designed to be played on arcade. MK11 is designed to be played on consoles/pc.
This is what's known as "event mode". It's designed to reset after a match because if a new match sits down to play, they have to wait until the winner of the last match has to be defeated. It's a forced reset.
CPS3 Supergun setup, lots of information on them floating about online. We use them quite regularly in the UK, still not the same as an actual VS City cab but by far the next best thing.
@@JMotiveMU Thanks for the quick response. My biggest concern is the Controller / Joystick compatibility since i've notice is Plug & Play which is what im looking for. Any information regarding this particular topic would be really apreciated, thanks in avance.
@@fundiendoconronny I use a qanba Q4Raf with no issues, I've seen plenty controllers being used eg xbox and ps3, I dont think theres support for xbox one or ps4 but I think aslong as your stick has an xbox 360 mode it will be fine.
by anymeans i don't prefer any player or dislike any player, but i really rooted for Jwong to win, because the every1 for some fucked up reason was cheering for the ken player... he hits a freaking link or parries anything and every1 is like "EHEEEEEEEEEEY" but on the otherhand the chunli player does amazing stuff or parries and you don't even hear a fucking cockroach saying "wooo".. glad chunli player won the tournament.
I've played thirdstrike in the collection and comparing it to modern fighting games like 5 it's not as responsive. The game has a delay with your buttons, so if you want to punish your opponents jump in you have to react really fast or have a hard read. Because 5 is so responsive you have more time to react to your opponent.
Yun vs. Chun Li.... Please make a Low Tier tournament - a lot of these characters are broken. It's just boring - and those who want to win have to play them to win.
As much as I like 3S, tournament footage of this game is why 3S is known as the game that almost ruined SF. Not only is the character line-up pretty bad, but the balancing is horrible.

Some people didnt even know this game existed, which this was doing the time when the arcades were at the stages of becoming extinct. People wouldve loved this game just as much as the others.

I wish all the companies would go back to it. KOF13 was on par or better than this.
No big company is gonna do pixel art, it's too expensive. It takes forever! And there's literally no easy way to make costume dlc for characters so not only is it more expensive, you can't get any extra money and that's the number 1 thing big companies want.

Deja vu for justin wong going up against another ken player and in the same stage 6 years ago
What did they do to make the game automatically game over after every match?
In the arcade version, you can set the dipswitches to “event on”, and it will game over after every match for tournament play.

I've been noticing less taunting from players lately. Are they opting for better positioning as opposed to the taunt buff?
