I mean, just look at that Q. His frame inputs and distance assesments were always on top, perhaps Max was playing a bit careless yes, but that Q is just not whiffing.
That Q player has so much experience that he seems to have every possible interaction between Ken and Q ingrained into his mind. You can tell that every decision he's making comes from pure instinct that's been honed by decades of experience. Nothing my man was doing took any conscious thought. He instinctively knew how everything would play out ahead of time and punished accordingly - mad respect!
Twelve and Necro are weird and creepy, but they don't have the "cool" factor of Q and Darkstalkers. Then again, I wouldn't call Sasquatch particularly badass.
Yeah 3rd strike has some of the coolest characters. Wish they can all hang. But yeah they really came up with some great designs in this game, from Oro and Urien to Hugo, Q, Twelve, Necro, etc.
YES MORE ONLINE WARRIOR, I remember watching this when I was still in highschool, I'm 22 going to be 23 in a few days and I'm glad to have been here for all these years, shine one everyone
That's how I was in Street Fighter IV with Gen. A lot of matches I won(and even a few I lost) I'd get private messages "yooooo Nice moves! You don't see too many Gen players. GG"
You know, i appreciate how Max defaults to complimenting his opponent when he loses instead of blaming everything in the observable universe except himself You'd think that wouldn't be worthy of praise and yet here we are
He deliberately save the super for punish Ken's blocked cr. RH because all 5 hits of the super hits him in crouched state, which does significantly more damage.
That Q (wadupNEEM) shows just how high level this game can become. I hope SF6 brings all of us to caring and learning as much as some people learned about 3rd strike.
I hope so too man. It looks to be in a good spot considering what we’ve seen so far but we’ll never truly know how good it is until it actually comes out. I hope it’s fun and most people enjoy it because if not I mean it’s not like we are gonna get another anytime soon
It's always good to see more third strike, I swear in all the episodes of the online warrior max hasn't fought a good twelve and I want to see it so bad.
This style of video where you absolutely celebrate someone who is just Really Good at what they do is probably my favorite thing you do on this channel.
For those wondering, Max is playing this version of 3s on PC using Fightcade 2, a program that lets you play a lot of retro arcade games with others (stuff like Darkstalkers Vampire Savior, Sf alpha, and even Windjammers). It’s really easy to set up and def worth looking into if you want to try out these older games
I have been trying to play 3rd strike on Fightcade 2 and it doesn't work. I downloaded all the roms, put the right files into their places. Doesn't launch. It starts but then it closes very fast. Help?
I love how Q just fights (and mostly dresses) as an untrained actual *street fighter* from early XX century. Glad to see he haven't been forgotten. Such an awesome char.
As someone who unfortunately let their fighting game skills languish and deteriorate over the past 10+ years, I'm so glad that channels like Max's exist to allow me to still enjoy and have a connection with the FGC
Neiman is one of the best Ken's in America competitively today, he knows this match-up like the back of his hand -- he's been playing Third Strike for a very, very long time. Max is a great sport.
I mean, I can confirm that WadupNEEM is someone who placed third at Jazzy Circuit Series 2 and runs twitch streams where he has a cash bounty for anyone that can beat him. He started playing in the mid-2000's at Super Arcade in Walnut Creek Mall, so... he's been playing for a VERY long time.
His whole character is based off of being weird and mysterious. I think Q quite literally means question. It’s one of those “he’s so cool because of how little is told” type of guys.
One of the few taunts in SF 3rd strike that has an effect in the game. Dudley's rose toss that's a mini projectile and Urien's ground punch which boosts his damage are others.
Good lord man Max matched up against some monsters. He literally couldn’t do anything against that Q, some rounds he struggled to even get 1 hit on him and that urien was really good too. I don’t remember urien having that much throw range
to all you rage-quitting, spamming-out-of-desparation, not-playing-second-match BABIES out there - THIS is how you play fighting games. you go up against someone you know you're gonna lose, be thankful they're even schooling you, and gladly keep losing as time (or your opponent) allows.
It's funny that you posted this video, since I just got done playing 3rd strike myself about 2 hours ago. And I very rarely play this game since I'm so bad at it lol.
Online warrior? It's not even Saturday and we get the best shit on the planet to eat with a bowl of cereal and sit back and relax. Thank you blessed Max for bestowing it upon our unworthy souls.
Wadupneem, the Q player, is an actual Third Strike competitive player. Max was spot on with his assessment.
Nice
Funny thing is I don’t even think he actually plays Q
I mean, just look at that Q. His frame inputs and distance assesments were always on top, perhaps Max was playing a bit careless yes, but that Q is just not whiffing.
The moment they parried the cross up tatsu, I was confident they were a competitive player lmao
@@diegogatjens1728 More than a bit careless. Every single dash up he did was a dash up low lol. Then Max was surprised he got parried low
That Q player has so much experience that he seems to have every possible interaction between Ken and Q ingrained into his mind. You can tell that every decision he's making comes from pure instinct that's been honed by decades of experience. Nothing my man was doing took any conscious thought. He instinctively knew how everything would play out ahead of time and punished accordingly - mad respect!
lmao, thats cause he is a competitive 3rd strike player. His main is Yun.
Still praying we get Q and more 3rd strike characters in 6! Q creeping in the background of the open world portion would be hype AF!
In the sf 6 trailer there's a man that has a similar look like Q so maybe he's in the open world
3rd strike characters are going to be dlc hopefully my boy remy gets in sf6 as dlc.
@@thebloodedge284 Bro I was so let down when I saw Guile! He looks dope, but man I was hoping for Remy to come back
In the roster leaks some dude is named JP I think he’s the Q/G character
G is Q
Q is so cool.
He’s like a Darkstalkers character that crept his way into the wrong game.
oofie beat me to it, you can say about as much for a decent chunk of this roster
Twelve and Necro are weird and creepy, but they don't have the "cool" factor of Q and Darkstalkers.
Then again, I wouldn't call Sasquatch particularly badass.
@@oofieloofie29 Lmao these three are my favs from third strike
Yeah 3rd strike has some of the coolest characters. Wish they can all hang. But yeah they really came up with some great designs in this game, from Oro and Urien to Hugo, Q, Twelve, Necro, etc.

Wow I’m 28 and I remember watching this in high school lmao
Bro similar story for me
Man same! Took the words right out of my mouth.
@@TheBuckSleezy I just turned 27 last month & I also remember watching Online Warrior in high school.
Facts 💯
Perfect example of how learning a "low tier" character can be super beneficial. That guy has prob fought a million Kens, how often to you see a Q?
Couldn't have put it better myself
He’s pretty common on fightcade
the low tiers are pretty common in casual play
Honestly the q player has to have seen and played every situation at least a few hundred times
That's how I was in Street Fighter IV with Gen. A lot of matches I won(and even a few I lost) I'd get private messages
"yooooo Nice moves! You don't see too many Gen players. GG"
You know, i appreciate how Max defaults to complimenting his opponent when he loses instead of blaming everything in the observable universe except himself
You'd think that wouldn't be worthy of praise and yet here we are
Low tier god:complimenting max while also throwin shade on me? GET THAT ASS BANNED!
As a Q player this does put a smile on my face
Same here bud. Q was my main!
As a Q player I'm not completely sure I do have a face.
@@QvsTheWorld 😂
He deliberately save the super for punish Ken's blocked cr. RH because all 5 hits of the super hits him in crouched state, which does significantly more damage.
Now that's some damn good Q knowledge.
If someone waits for you to pick a Ken, Urien or Chun... and they then pick Q, you know you're about to have a fight.
It's surreal that this series is still going after all these years
11 years of 3rd strike. Crazy.
its a good fuckin game
It’s timeless. The gameplay, art, and music is classic.
Hope it never stops 🫶
Certain Video Games will be considered Classics like early Disney Movies -Fantasia , Snow White etc ....
Sf3 is one of them
That Q (wadupNEEM) shows just how high level this game can become. I hope SF6 brings all of us to caring and learning as much as some people learned about 3rd strike.
I hope so too man. It looks to be in a good spot considering what we’ve seen so far but we’ll never truly know how good it is until it actually comes out. I hope it’s fun and most people enjoy it because if not I mean it’s not like we are gonna get another anytime soon
Same
That Q was a secret boss lmao.
It's always good to see more third strike, I swear in all the episodes of the online warrior max hasn't fought a good twelve and I want to see it so bad.
Smug did in one of his recent videos and got demolished lol
This style of video where you absolutely celebrate someone who is just Really Good at what they do is probably my favorite thing you do on this channel.
Completely agreed.
I'm a simple man, I see Q and I click the video and the like button.
Bingo
Well shit I see that name and not surprised
I spent so many Summer days watching Max play Third Strike. I’m glad to know I can continue to do so!
Best summer
Got into watching max by binging this series, never let it die this game is so much fun to watch
Q is absolutely the most wanted character for the newer games I can feel it in my bones.

Came here looking for this thanks, only been watching Max play 3rd strike for like 9 years figured I might as well play the damn game for once
I have been trying to play 3rd strike on Fightcade 2 and it doesn't work. I downloaded all the roms, put the right files into their places. Doesn't launch. It starts but then it closes very fast. Help?
@@yourewallsareveryconvenien8292 if you got IG or discord I can slide you a rom that works
@@WAV-ob7sn I fixed it. Wrong placement of roms and wrong roms
That Q was just flexing the entire time and I'm here to see it
Erm... Neem is the number 1 ranked online player on fightcade and one of the best American 3s players. You didn't just run into some random S rank
Ermm
Ermmm 🤓
errrrmm…
🤓
What the sigma
3:05 You know you deliered a good ass-kicking when you casually walk out after.
I don't know if it is cut at the Non-Japan versions, but Q has a win pose where he stomps at a KO'd opponent's face like he's putting out a cig.
@@lipstickzombie4981 yea that's the best win pose
@@omegaweapon116 How about the one where he walks towards your body lying on the ground and just stares at you.
@@48cxy2 yea, well...I like all his win poses :D. The one you're talking about...it sounds like he says "why?" which is kinda funny
That cross up parry at 5:50 was nuts!
I am absolutely ALL for the fact that there's a lesser picked character that's straight wrecking shop!!!! I love it!!
lowtiergod approves
@@martymcintosh5026 EW.....lol
@@martymcintosh5026 You're huffing paint if you think LTG would actually ever play a low tier character
Man i could watch Max play 3rd Strike for hours. Never stop making this series please!
I love how Q just fights (and mostly dresses) as an untrained actual *street fighter* from early XX century.
Glad to see he haven't been forgotten. Such an awesome char.

Damn that Q slapped Max's ass like a drum. Good effort tho
That transition was so smooth 18:56

Oh that's explains some things
Sorry, Max. Always gotta root for Q to win!
Q may not be buff, but you can tell he's heavy based on his animations
He’s tall too

"FOR THE PEOPLE OF EARTH" 🎩🌎

I hope Q comes back in Street Fighter 6!
Chad Q: Barely gets hit confirmed by Ken, does defense boosts whenever he has a chance anyways.
Max: "Why am I respecting Q?"
Forget Juggernaut, Q is the unstoppable force.
1:00 now that was some sick stuff
Nothing like watching Ken SA3 do a whole 8% damage on a clean hit XD
Yea its fairly weak but the 3 supers you get makes up for it.
@@LydellG4 also because max does the hadouken to cancel, thats escalates the combo
I mean, I can confirm that WadupNEEM is someone who placed third at Jazzy Circuit Series 2 and runs twitch streams where he has a cash bounty for anyone that can beat him.
He started playing in the mid-2000's at Super Arcade in Walnut Creek Mall, so... he's been playing for a VERY long time.
Max + Third strike = Awesomeness
This is the first time I see Q gameplay, why is he so freaky? He moves like the jellyfish aliens from Metal Slug.
His whole character is based off of being weird and mysterious.
I think Q quite literally means question.
It’s one of those “he’s so cool because of how little is told” type of guys.
I'd like to imagine Q hasn't played in a while, felt nostalgic and came in.
Max: This guy's been training his whole life for this game!!!
Omg he gets 3 taunts and all the sudden Ken super does tickle damage lmao
One of the few taunts in SF 3rd strike that has an effect in the game. Dudley's rose toss that's a mini projectile and Urien's ground punch which boosts his damage are others.
@@lipstickzombie4981 Every taunt in sf3 has an effect...
@@LumpyCrumpets I think they ment usefulness
Not surprised at all, knowing that everybody in fightcade knows how to play And play against Ken Since he’s everywhere XDD
Most used character
3:42 - 3:45 damn! That was brutal. The guy was like, I don't care about your spin kick. 🤣
best series on youtube. I remember playing this game at Keystone Lanes arcade. Thanks dood o7
See a Godlike Q. player is so beautiful, this character is so fun to watch
I remember playin this game as a kid. I always fought Hugo cuz he had my fav theme.
My main was Q when I used to play this. They need to bring him back. He’s the first charge character I I ever played
Always nice to see Online Warrior, the best way to see the game that's keeps on giving
Good lord man Max matched up against some monsters. He literally couldn’t do anything against that Q, some rounds he struggled to even get 1 hit on him and that urien was really good too. I don’t remember urien having that much throw range
A good player can make a "low teir" character seem OP, gotta love 3rd strike!
Third Strike will never die, even with SF6 on the horizon.
to all you rage-quitting, spamming-out-of-desparation, not-playing-second-match BABIES out there -
THIS is how you play fighting games. you go up against someone you know you're gonna lose, be thankful they're even schooling you, and gladly keep losing as time (or your opponent) allows.
Hate when folks don't run it back
God that q actually got me itching to play again. Loved watching him move.
Q has always been Inspector Gadget gone horribly wrong.
Q and Twelve are the biggest 3rd strike oddballs and I hope to see them return in SF6
3S opening never gets old 🔥🔥🔥
It's funny that you posted this video, since I just got done playing 3rd strike myself about 2 hours ago. And I very rarely play this game since I'm so bad at it lol.
Q was one of the most played characters online fightcade when I was online.
Online Warrior is the best series max has given us! Love it so much!!
No way he brought this series back. This series singlehandedly made me buy third strike lol
Yea it never stays gone too long
You cannot play footsie with this guy at all, he's terrifying.
That backdash grab read was insane on max’s part
Online warrior? It's not even Saturday and we get the best shit on the planet to eat with a bowl of cereal and sit back and relax. Thank you blessed Max for bestowing it upon our unworthy souls.
It's not often that we see Max get chumped which is literally a true testament to his opponent.
It's such a joy to see a really good Q. Sorry Max, but I loved watching you get the slapdown from this guy.
Holy cow, some of these 3rd Strike players are scary good. Like that Hugo a few weeks ago, it's like you can't press anything against them LOL!
0:00 through 0:08 pure it's about to go down, bliss.
for two years of inexperience, max can pull off the kara shoryu pretty consistent.
dude, I love 3rd strike. U should've gotten like 65% of your health taken off from that Urien anti air fireball, but he dropped the EX tackle
This is the crack I need, jank and beast Q players Lol
So is this fightcade or the 30th anniversary collection
Online Warrior is back! Never stop Max, let's go!!!
LETS FRIGGIN GO!!!!! CLASSIC 3RD STRIKE VIDS ARE BACK!!!!!
Those guys were giving you the blues, man. Lol.
Love watching you play. It gets me hyped to play some street fighter right after.
Much Gamer Яespect!🎮🕹
Q stomping is just so satisfying to watch
Fav videos from you....hands down.
2:58 that's a punish (with crouch damage bonus for every hit)
That red parry then full parry DAMN!!!
Awesome to see some high level Q!! Instead of the same ole chun, yun, urien ect...
Strange question. Is Q also Mr World ? Or different but same kind of moves ?
I think people assume theyre the same but nothing confirmed. Mr world has a Q skin though
Another version of the same concept, android collating battle data from around the world
Fuckin love 3rd strike, this game will never die for me
That is ONE SICK Q. Holy crap, tha kara grabs.
As a French guy the title is really funny to me because in french Q is pronounced the same as "ass" so it's like "The ass is unstoppable"
cross up tatsu parry was absolutely insane
This is the best damn Q player i have seen for sure.
Loving the 3rd strike content
Max back at it with 3rd Strike!
Still play this game from time to time
6:40 bro reacted to that shit at point blank range
Behind Sagat, Q is my second favorite character in street fighter.
THE ONLINE WARRIOR IS BACK BABY LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Q is so well animated holy shit
Where do Max play SF3? Is this from the 30th anniv or fightcade?
Love the 3rd strike vids dude
That Q player Vs. PikachuAkuma's Akuma would the match of all matches.
Q is really good at dealing with the shotos like ken
