Kthx GG's.

Why'd that guy say, "Fuck you Daigo"? Did he just get his ass whooped and had to work his way back up from the losers or something?

Sorry, don't follow the shit religiously. Have watched a few Ustream tournaments. The one where Daigo kept giving up matches to Wong's Balrog. Haven't bothered since then.
The final rounds always wear down to the same old heavies. I sort of prefer watching the early matches instead, that's where I tend to see more variety.

Wait, this is the Third Strike thread. Guile's not in it.
Guile's okay, but he's been downgraded to SF2 level Guile in 4; so yeah - they went too far back in time with him.

My favorite iteration of Guile is Super Turbo.
Hence, SF4 flavor Guile blows. Also I cannot consistently rely on his fuckin' flash kick super so he needs a Sonic Hurricane or something I can rely on. In 4 I had to rely heavily on well placed EX moves. :\

Are there any good Urien combo videos around? I play against someone where the 'super rivalry' for some reason is my Urien. I don't know how to do those really big corner combos. I can do like, d+FP (the 2 hit elbow) into a forward shoulder charge, then a kick, but that's about it, no 12 hit Aegis Reflector combo of doom with 6 shoulder charges and stuff.
Not a video, but from SRK's wiki. Most vids on stuff like this are like Michael Angelo Batio guitar vids: them doing it, then saying "ok, now that you've seen it, do it" and leaving it there.

To be fair, HDR and 98UM are refinements of games over a decade old. They didn't spring from the womb wholly formed and balanced. It took years of player feedback and tweaking.

Great to see this thread come up again. I just got SF anniversary collection for PS2 couple of days ago only because I never played 3rd strike (or SF3 in general) and given that I played every console Street Fighter out there since SF2 on the SNES I didn't want to miss out.
I'm no pro or even good I just spam when playing fighters (with some moves I already know like fireball and dragon punch) and only play against noobs like me, but I really like 3rd strike from what I've been playing so far.
Parrying is really tricky. I thought once you parry something the game will automatically parry the rest of the combo for you but when I learned that no you have to parry each move individually my head nearly exploded when I remembered Diago's infamous video (which was the most impressive fighting video I've seen even before learning about this!!) seriously that guy has got to be a machine sent in from the future to do that with that much discipline and concentration
The game got great music and great animation. Would've really liked to see M.bison here but oh well.

Really, 3S would benefit heavily from some HDR-type treatment, I'd probably enjoy the game more if it was better balanced, but will NEVER happen, and Capcom wouldn't get someone like Sirlin again.
(the UM folks deserve equal props also)

Pick nits much? Nearly every main SF game (excluding the first) has had three iterations at the least. HDR and 98UM were posthumous updates. Long past the regular arcade life cycle of the game.
I'd be happy if they just released the game with online play for modern consoles. No need to update the visuals.
Then again given how notoriously shit Capcom's netcode has been for fighters SF3 online would be a joke. You could forget about ever parrying.

How is SF3 Third Strike on GGPO? I heard it was still in demo mode? Are there still issues or does the game still have lag on line?
Just started playing this amazing game... practicing for super, Dudley is an amazing character

Well, all games have lag online. 3S has additional issues due to resource requirements, but a decent comp and connection solves much of it.

I've seen that video, Daigo just blocks all of Chun li's lightning kick super... was awe inspiring... the crowd when wild when he even won the match with a sliver of health! That is skill!
3s runs just fine on GGPO.DarkoMaledictus said:How is SF3 Third Strike on GGPO? I heard it was still in demo mode? Are there still issues or does the game still have lag on line?

K thanks... I'll give it a try... will probably get destroyed after some people playing for over 10 years... the style is so different from sf2 and 4...

Not my thing HDR, they changed some little things that really nag me, and the animation is such shit compared to sf3... Graphics are HD yes, but they should of concentrate on the animation while at the same time retaining the timings...
Sf4 is still the best 3d rendition of a 2d game... its the game that made me want to play sf again since 2... and it re-introduced me to sf3... the missing link for me
!Best SF game IMO.
I really came into SF with SF Alpha 2 on the Saturn, but SFIII, 3rd strike on Dreamcast blew my mind.
Originally I didn't love the cast, since they weren't all that recognizable, but after a few rounds with some friends I totally fell in love with Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto and even characters like Q and Urien were a total blast to play with.
Sometimes I just connect my Dreamcast to play this game with friends.

That's one of the beauties of sprite based games, they do not get old. Polygonal games tend to age baddly, but a good looking cartoon style game always seems new!

Come on now, I realize some of you may not have been alive at the time; but it was a long road from this:
to this:
I still have fondness for classics like Wizard of Wor and Yar's Revenge; but they're a far cry from modern 2D visuals.
Holy grandma's sagging milk bags! 3rd Strike works great on GGPO! Lots of people to fight, good speeds, works well with the 360 TE stick, supports Samurai Shodown 2 and Last Blade! Though judging from recent fights, I am really, really rusty with SF3. Think I might slide over the XBOX version and train for a bit.
