Great Guide!!!!!
Anyone got any advice i'm starting to practice but all i've got is the mame version and playing against the computer is difficult for practising on, anyone know what the dc version is like and if it's worth downloading to train on.
And once again awesome guide.

Excellent. I've always had the bad habit of playing against the computer and never really bothering to hone my technique against real players. This was made apparent to me when I recently had my ass handed to me by Hugo at a local arcade.
Also, could we have less talk about MAME and downloading illegal DC roms here? There are readily available versions on DC, PS2, and Xbox. If you're too cheap to buy them, don't bother playing.

Wow, I really appreciate this, guys! I need the extra help!
One question though, in the training mode, can you actually make Ryu just throw fireballs? I can't figure that out...maybe it's because I have the Anniversary Collection?
Anyways, this is incredible

To just make Ryu throw fireballs, hit practice mode and choose the Parrying Training option. This will let you do a Recording.
In the Dummy Recording mode you'll control the second player. Have them do whatever you want to go up against, i.e., choose Ryu for the second player have have him throw fireballs.
Once the time is up (or you can press start), select Parrying Training mode, Ryu will play back every motion you just did in the Dummy Recording, allowing you to practice against whatever techniques you wanted to.

I'm an aspiring 3rd strike player who needs to improve my muscle memory so I can do this stuff on command.
Normally I play this on the MAME++ Emulator - and if you want to play me go to the God Weapon server in the Kaillera netplay client. Thought I do have the Dreamcast GDRom for this.

Hey Buizerd, thanks for the feedback. I usually update the frontpage of EventHubs.com whenever I make a new change to the site. Just click the "Home" link up at the top and scroll to the bottom.
* Added in a new video for Makoto, Karakusa Techniques. * Implemented a potential fix for the caching bug on the forums. * Changed a few images on the front page, Akuma and Makoto sections. * Added a Makoto character overview video. * The forums no longer require registration to post. * Increased the topic length in the forums to 120 characters.
The latest thing I added in was the Makoto Karakusa video. Here's a link.
As an experienced player, I must say this is a very nice compilation of the basics. This would have helped me loads when I first started out.
One thing I'm missing, though, is some mention of the concept of punishing, and along with it the difference between safe and unsafe moves. Overeager usage of unsafe moves (shoto sweeps and Shoryukens come to mind) is something I see VERY often in beginners.

I just want to say that this is a great guide. Complete a few more characters and this will be the go to place for new Third Strike players. Great explanations of everything, its especially useful as a counterpart to the official SF: Anniversary Collection guide. I'd like to request an Oro guide (The Man of Gold video is 6 years old now), but regardless, the more complete this becomes the better a resource it is.

Thanks for this guide, I've been trying to find a proper street fighter 3rd strike guide to get me aquainted with the more advanced aspects of the game for a while. You have created, by far, the best guide for someone that only knows how to perform fireballs and dragon punches ;)
I've always wanted to learn the "pro" stuff like combo juggles, parrying, crossups and all that good stuff. Thanks!
Hope to see you SF4 guide too, that game is the only reason why I'm playing again. I want to be ready to whoop some ass on xbox live when it comes out :)
hmm One question for anyone that wants to share, is the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection a good buy for xbox 360 practice? (I already checked and it is backwards compatible) Anyone here play this online and wants to give me their gamertag to add to friends list?

Brilliant website. I've read through most of the SFIII and SFIV articles, and not only are they extremely informative -- you make it sound so easy, too! A very comprehensive site.
My only complaint is that it seems you've neglected updating this section in favour of keeping up to date with HD Remix and SFIV. Please, please add more character profiles. (My special request would be Chun-Li - as she's an integral character; and Ibuki, because I can't seem to find guides for her ANYWHERE.)
Thanks so much for your hard work though. Keep it up. :)

SFIII 3rd Strike > SFIV. It's a better designed game overall. People who are hating on 3rd Strike and saying SFIV is a better game are only hyped because it's new, or they suck at 3rd Strike. SFIV feels like your characters are moving under water and it just feels clumsy and dull.
Btw if anyone has got the balls or talent come see me in SF 3rd strike. Any New York, New Windsor natives hit me up, I'm bored of beating everyone around me I require a challenge.

-to be a family man, after Alpha 3-SF2 and Bison got the outs, Jersey.
Remy came out of Capcom probably competing too much with SNK, that or right after they were making JoJo's Bizzare Adventure Fighting game in Capcom, they carried that over into skinny pants French weirdo Remy, along with Play-Doh man Twelve and Robot Android man Q.
Only Makoto, despite a lack of any good story or reason to be fighting, was a great addition to the 3rd strike, final update of SF3.

2nd the Makoto greatness. She makes for a very complex character with lots of mind games. I really hope she gets added to the SF4 lineup down the road. There's no one really like her gameplay in it so far. If fei long's Tenshin had more range and came out faster, he might be able to play a bit like her. Still hoping for a SF3 remix on xbox/ps3 as no one plays it anymore in my arcade. GGPO's just not the same.
Yo I would love 2 see more character faqs, especially one's on urien and oro. I have Street Fighter 4, but I personally prefer 3. Just ordered a copy of 3 and cvs2 along with it from japan.

Please post the answer to this question for me because i beat the game on all difficulty levels using too many continues to get lucky and i still didn't unlock him.Thank You in advance for the answer to my question.

Fantastic guides you've written but I agree w/ haru and KazDa973, definitely need an Ibuki guide as soon as possible. You've got 2 of the three I play-Chun Li & Makoto- and the respective guides for them are outstanding. Can't wait for my all time favorite in Ibuki.

To InfamousJoker, If you're attempting to Kara throw I suggest getting a Joystick. Its possible to Kara throw with the controller but EXTREMELY difficult.

To be honest, I really wish to see 2nd Impact in tournaments rather then 3rd Strike. All you get to see are Chun Li and Yun in tournaments, and I thought 2nd Impact had some balence with the characters as well.
So yeah, sorry but I really would like to a 2nd Impact Panel now. Nobody gives love to that game instead of 3rd Strike, it would be a big supprise if 2nd Impact were being done in tournaments now.

I thought there would be more Chun-Li players in SFIV because she got SOOO popular in SF3rd Strike, thanks to her power. I guess people will only choose the strong characters because there's too many Sagats in SFIV. I wish people were more diverse than this... Even I play Chun-Li in SFIV, but I don't see Chun-Li enough online.

There is no reason why there should not be a Yun guide. Yun may be a annoying character if used and mastered well since he is top class but so is Chun-Li and Dudley. As everone can see you have made good guides for those two (Chun-Li, Dudley) but there needs to be a Yun guide for fans of him and as well for advanced players like me who have mastered the basic character such as Ryu and Ken and have more interest in learning harder and more professional ones.

Please put new guides for Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike; according to my last comments can you please make a Yun guide for fans of him as well as more advanced players. Also please make a Yun guide to show more people that top class characters such as Chun-Li can be defeated and also to back up what you have told your fans that her weakness is Yun's dive kicks. Once a Yun guide has been created please continue making others for people like me who want to continue mastering every character. Once again i thank you for your time in reading this and i wish you all the best. If your having trouble i advice you to look ad gamefaqs.com and shoryuken.com they have preety good info but the problem is their guide are not as easy to understand as yours. All the best:

@160 Red Parries are parrying during a block, for example if you wanted to red parry urien's ex tackle, you would block the first hit and press f when you think the 2nd hit would come in contact with you.

I'm going to post this here, and the tier-list section, but there is a new tier-list for 3rd Strike, as of 2009, I guess. Sorry for the lack of the number chart.
Arcadia tier list-
S+ - Chun-Li S - Yun A+ - Ken, Dudley A - Makoto, Yang A- - Urien, Akuma, Ryu, Oro B+ - Hugo B - Elena, Ibuki, Alex C - Necro, Twelve, Remy, Q D - Sean
Igi: That tier list is based on recent Japanese tournament standings and results. One could argue that Hugo isn't a B+ character either, but quite a few players have started to catch up to Hayao and YSB's level of play since 2009, being able to beat down Chun players as well(according to Arcadia Magazine's tier list dissection), hence him getting bumped up the list.
Necro can dish out some very damaging combos, but he sucks in the corner, which quite a few characters can take advantage of(even Q).

Not because it's a beasting but because it has every Urien staple setup beside the corner one we've all seen hundreds of times. It has everything. Aegis as a Shoryuken meatie, Aegis-less corner combos, mid-screen Aegis mixups, using the fireball to keep the opponent in the air for another move. It's almost a showcase by RX.
Question, why does no one use Gill? I keep looking around for some gameplay of him, but I can never find someone who uses him outside of arcade mode play throughs. Is there some unwritten rule to not use him? His he banned, what's the deal?

In every competitive tournament he is banned yes. No one wants to use him because for the most part instead of impressing your friends theres really no point at all and learning him since hes banned in tournaments.
Let me guess, his Resurrection super makes him over powered.

Not even really that.
That one super that aint the meteor is broken.
His normals have insane amounts of priority and his combos are way too powerful and damage heavy.
If you wanna have a playable Gill just use Urien because honestly thats kinda why they made Urien. For the most part they do the same style of poking and combos.

I think it's pretty obvious that the guides won't be completed any time soon - nobody really cares about 3s right now because there's all this buzz about SSF4 AE and MVC3. At least, nobody who would be respected enough for eventhubs to want their guide cares enough to write up a guide.
I hope that, with the future release of SF3:TSO in 360 and PS3, the remaining guides will be completed. I love 3rd Strike, and there is really good info in this section to let it abandoned.

If you look on the forums you can see plenty of guides that we are still working on. All of the characters WILL have guides its just a matter of when.
Because with 3s its really hard to find info on the internet, while a lot of the Super guides come out faster because its easier to find info.
And yeah with AE/MVC3 on the fore front we will probably wait until 3sOE gets a release and then we will most likely put all of our work into the guides.
So go ahead and check the forums and see what we got. We still need some people to do some other guides too.

Even with 3s:OE its time has past.nothing will change.it won't make it back in evo, and if the online is anything less than perfect it will remain 4gotten.3s is one of the main reasons we went 10 years w/o a new fighter. the removal of the original cast (which is a big part of what makes sf sf.ryu and ken had to be bitched back into NG) and the parry system destroyed everything that made sf what it is.
specials aren't half as useful in controlling space and it favors players with better reactions regardless of how good a players gameplan is.if u cant parry don't bother playing.this is why ST and A3 will always be the best SFs ever made.3s isn't street fighter, its its own fg with ryu,ken,akuma and as guest chars.
Any1 in here sackriding the top players that say ssf4 is for scrubs are dumb.its your precious 3s that started the scrubby trend! all charge supers changed to motions? why?was the execution of hold back 2 secs, twd,back,twd + atk or flash kick super really that hard? all chars have universal overheads? what's so hard about breaking thru ur opponents defense?at least 2I required u to press d,d + atk, in 3s its only 2 buttons. then there's parry itself. tap fwd or down and u can stop and punish any normal, special or super in the game?with no negatives for excessive use?(can't say grabs cuz u can opt. select) yea that's not scrubby at all.that's why ST and A3 will always be better.

"with no negatives for excessive use?" oh, c'mon -_- The negatives don't come from the use of itself, but from the intention of using it. It's obvious if you use parry too much you'll get tricked and they will punish you. Parry system is what made SFIII different from other games. Basically almost all attacks can be parried. Did other games has a mechanic that allow you to penetrate super but only open up the chance the counter (only chance)? It's a simple yet deep technique. Parry system also solves the removal of air block.
In this game fireball mostly acts as parry-bait. Super are changed to motion because IT'S OBVIOUS it wouldn't be fair for those who always have motion because of parry system.
And what's wrong with almost entirely different cast? We get fresh story, new library of characters, And potential for new story.
i'm a neither fanboy of ST & A3 nor SFIII but i think this game is just too hardcore for you.

i started playing back on dreamcast,stopped then picked it back up when it dropped on ps2.ive played all sfs since world warrior and the 3 series felt the least like sf.it def shouldve been called something else.the game is far from too hardcore for anybody with half a brain. parry doesn't have any negatives.with things like option-selects,sggk, and being able to extend the parry window by just tapping toward or down w/o pressing anything else there's no real negative. plus it strips the game down to being forced to play footsies with just bare normals and there's no type of truly ranged fighting whatsoever since everything outside of grabs can be parried. zoning with fireballs is also pointless,ppl can jumpin for free since any non grab AA can be parried.parry also favors non charge type chars as u've already pointed out.
parry doesn't make the game hardcore,all it does is promote reckless offense.even the wake up game is riddled with the promotion of reckless offense with ridiculous meaty setups.then u got chars with dumb and/or broken ass super arts.elena can heal herself (healing, in a fg?only 1 char can use? really? ragna in bb is dumb 2 btw),urien can make a 6 hit corner that also reflects fireballs wherever he wants,yun has a super that has the shortest bar in the game (I believe)that let's him cancel all his atks into eachother in any order and gains massive frame adv that literally makes parrying (what ur supposed to use to defend urself by punishing predictable play) obsolete once they start mashing cr.short into free pressure.ur only option is to block and hope ur eye catches the zenpo tenshin.then u get caught and he has "the ender" which leaves him 1 hit/whiff away from doing it all over again.
then there's chun sa2.a super that takes 30%+ dmg and leads to free mixup and she has 2 bars?broken.oh and switching the entire cast is a problem when the majority of the new cast is complete ass both design wise and thru actual play.the alpha series has alpha counter & guard meter,ex series had guard crush (or break can't remember),sf4 series has the focus system.all punish reckless offense and predictable play while having sufficient negatives for excessive use.

@237 then don't play it. More 3rd strike for the fans. 3rd strike built off of what made SF 2 great and added more. And parries require timing, if you mess up a parry you get hit,comboed or worse. You can't mindlessly rush in either. And just cause you can't use your hadouken,hadouken hadouken strategy doesn't mean the game is bad. Plus to do most of the REALLY damaging stuff you have to have good execution (unless you're chun anyway). And the new cast of characters were fresh and interesting. Sf3 was the hardest to play thats why people overlooked it initially but it got such a cult underground following.

I'm sure once SFA3 Online comes out, this section of the website will finally start getting some love.
@240 - all the III series did was take sf2,gut it of all that made it good,thru a bunch of nameless nobodies in (which only 6 became truly popular) and added parry.that's it.the twins were pallette swaps in ng and normals wise didn't change much in si and 3s.sean started off good just to get shafted at the end.necro is dhalsim & blanka put together.remy is guile with a low sonic boom and a jumpkick move.Q is a slow balrog with a command grab and some slaps.twelve is the dumbest char ever created.such interesting chars.
as far as the whole hadoken,hadoken hadoken strategy not being viable its not even about that really.its the fact that AA's are practically non-existent.depending on the char ur opposition rarely has to worry about jumping in.parry makes certain things too free.and depending on the speed of the atk ur trying to parry u do still have time to block.the game feels very random with a lot of guessing required.there's no solid concrete way to strategically beat a person (thru zoning & spacing).in a lot of instances (especially when top tiers are involved) its whoever guesses right 1st.if 3sOE has color edit ill play it but its mainly fun when not taking it seriously.
@237 knows very little to nothing about the game he's hammering and shouldn't be taken all that seriously and frankly is on of the reasons this great web site it called event-scrubs. Not like I'm saying at all you need to be a walking encyclopedia of knowledge in game in order to spit hate on it, everyone's entitled to thier opinion. But when your so opinionated and know so little its offensive. The EX series was @ss, A3 was the dumbest game in existence after the discovery of crouch canceling, Elena's healing super is absolutely useless in high level play, AA grabs in third strike by and large aren't good. ect ect....sigh
My point is really experience the game before you trash it and watch some high level matches, see how deep the game is and play it beyond a day one scrub level yourself. AA parry games are almost completely no in the picture because the one in the air is at a disadvantage, parry mechanic or not. There's alot more to a game than what you see on the surface. Otherwise on the surface alone nothing Capcom puts out is worth playing with that mindset.
No Yun guide? I wanna get better with Yun, and I was surprised to see no guide for him, Ibuki, or Q.

i know your kind of busy rpgfighter but your missing some important character guides. like yun, urien,Q and Hugo. it will be somewhat important to have these guides for new 3s players when 3s oe comes out.
I'm currently working on a Yun guide. I'm hoping to get it done before 3SOE is out. I haven't gotten a lot done yet but you can visit this thread to look at the progress.
Go here for new 3s guides, hopefully I can work on putting them in the main site.
Also. If you lurk in the SF3 forum I made a few mini guides for a lot of characters so feel free to check that out.
I will be trying to get back into soon on making multiple guides. Just want to work on the Dudley one though since he is my main. But yeah that link is where a lot of 3s goodness will be spewing out hopefully soon.
Great guide, but I noticed it's missing a Gill page. Also, the alternate colors that require using the start button don't work in the 360 version. Are they even there?

@257 Gill is basically a op version of urien or rather urien is an unbroken version of gill with some altered commands
plus the extra colours are the ones which they stripped from the orignal and half of the new colours in the colour packs are them. Lame i know.
Also i lol'd hard at the guy who thought gill was op just because of ressurrection, guys combos and even normal and special attacks does a tonne of damage, 70% damage super arts, amongst other reasons. His only redeemable weaknesses are that his hitbox is large and that some of his normal attacks are slow, and even those can be avoided
3s is the best 2d possible best fighting game ever released, or atleast imo anyways
@258 so any of the costumes that need to use the start button are not included in the game as of now(on the xbox of course) cause obviously the 6 regular buttons give u the first six and the one where u press jab forward and fierce works so im guessing just the ones that need start arent in the game at all?

@259 I could be wrong but yeah, i think they've stripped them from the game.
i think they're 8 altogether as my friend plays pad on ps3 and said that L2/LT and R2/RT also give him a different kit (for us stick players i think we'd have to assign the extra 2 buttons as 3 punches and kicks or maybe hit jab forward and fierce and vice versa for the kicks). I always thought the game needed a random button but sadly its sacrificed kits for it :( I dont know why they didnt just add a extra symbol on the player select screen instead

To get the extra color set for you characters, beat their arcade mode on any difficulty like before, and then go to downloadable content in the main menu. Go to my content, and colors, and you can select the second color set for your character.

im conused as to why this game gets so much love. i mean it seems so unbalanced and parrying seems kinda cheap in this fighting game.
well parrying actually seems to balance it so that even characters like hugo can win with good parrying. its not like you can walk up and parry every move its actually pretty hard.

Great Guide!!!!!
Anyone got any advice i'm starting to practice but all i've got is the mame version and playing against the computer is difficult for practising on, anyone know what the dc version is like and if it's worth downloading to train on.
And once again awesome guide.

Posted by Dave on November 14, 2007 at 4:11 p.m. #12
Excellent. I've always had the bad habit of playing against the computer and never really bothering to hone my technique against real players. This was made apparent to me when I recently had my ass handed to me by Hugo at a local arcade.
Also, could we have less talk about MAME and downloading illegal DC roms here? There are readily available versions on DC, PS2, and Xbox. If you're too cheap to buy them, don't bother playing.

Awesome guide guys, keep it up
One question though, in the training mode, can you actually make Ryu just throw fireballs? I can't figure that out...maybe it's because I have the Anniversary Collection?
Anyways, this is incredible
Posted by Catalyst on March 27, 2008 at 8:20 a.m. #26
To just make Ryu throw fireballs, hit practice mode and choose the Parrying Training option. This will let you do a Recording.
In the Dummy Recording mode you'll control the second player. Have them do whatever you want to go up against, i.e., choose Ryu for the second player have have him throw fireballs.
Once the time is up (or you can press start), select Parrying Training mode, Ryu will play back every motion you just did in the Dummy Recording, allowing you to practice against whatever techniques you wanted to.

I'm an aspiring 3rd strike player who needs to improve my muscle memory so I can do this stuff on command.
Normally I play this on the MAME++ Emulator - and if you want to play me go to the God Weapon server in the Kaillera netplay client. Thought I do have the Dreamcast GDRom for this.
Almost forgot great tuts lol!

Hey Buizerd, thanks for the feedback. I usually update the frontpage of EventHubs.com whenever I make a new change to the site. Just click the "Home" link up at the top and scroll to the bottom.
You'll see this text.
EventHubs.com change log:
* Added in a new video for Makoto, Karakusa Techniques.
* Implemented a potential fix for the caching bug on the forums.
* Changed a few images on the front page, Akuma and Makoto sections.
* Added a Makoto character overview video.
* The forums no longer require registration to post.
* Increased the topic length in the forums to 120 characters.
The latest thing I added in was the Makoto Karakusa video. Here's a link.

As an experienced player, I must say this is a very nice compilation of the basics. This would have helped me loads when I first started out.
One thing I'm missing, though, is some mention of the concept of punishing, and along with it the difference between safe and unsafe moves. Overeager usage of unsafe moves (shoto sweeps and Shoryukens come to mind) is something I see VERY often in beginners.
Posted by Harold on May 18, 2008 at 11:22 p.m. #35
Hi, I'm new at this game, and I have questions =D :
I own SFIII:D.Impact for the dreamcast. Will this guide be useful for those games, or should I skip them and go straight to get good at third strike?
Posted by yen24 on August 9, 2008 at 5:53 p.m. #36
I just want to say that this is a great guide. Complete a few more characters and this will be the go to place for new Third Strike players. Great explanations of everything, its especially useful as a counterpart to the official SF: Anniversary Collection guide. I'd like to request an Oro guide (The Man of Gold video is 6 years old now), but regardless, the more complete this becomes the better a resource it is.

Thanks for this guide, I've been trying to find a proper street fighter 3rd strike guide to get me aquainted with the more advanced aspects of the game for a while. You have created, by far, the best guide for someone that only knows how to perform fireballs and dragon punches ;)
I've always wanted to learn the "pro" stuff like combo juggles, parrying, crossups and all that good stuff. Thanks!
Hope to see you SF4 guide too, that game is the only reason why I'm playing again. I want to be ready to whoop some ass on xbox live when it comes out :)
hmm One question for anyone that wants to share, is the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection a good buy for xbox 360 practice? (I already checked and it is backwards compatible) Anyone here play this online and wants to give me their gamertag to add to friends list?

Brilliant website. I've read through most of the SFIII and SFIV articles, and not only are they extremely informative -- you make it sound so easy, too! A very comprehensive site.
My only complaint is that it seems you've neglected updating this section in favour of keeping up to date with HD Remix and SFIV. Please, please add more character profiles. (My special request would be Chun-Li - as she's an integral character; and Ibuki, because I can't seem to find guides for her ANYWHERE.)
Thanks so much for your hard work though. Keep it up. :)

Thanks so much for the general info sections, though, they helped my game that you wouldn't imagine.

Congratulations in making such a wonderful site. I found out about it not long ago and I'm impressed in all the effort put into the guide. I will get my first fightstick soon and that will allow me to re-visit this game and spend the time with it it deserves.
Just wanted to let you know that even though this game has been out for a long time there are still people like me who will make use of it and take advantage of it when you complete it.
Keep the good work (the SFIV guide is already turning up great, I'll be able to jump right into it when it comes out, thanks)

You guys are all fools. SF 3rd strike is hands down the illest SF out there! Alpha, Turbo, and yes even IV can't even the grasp the level of gameplay and essence that 3rd Strike holds.

Dudley guide please! If you're done with the SFIV guides then you really need to get the 3rd strike characters done. We're waiting.

Im not sure they even check the 3rd strike page anymore...surely they would have seen the comments about making some new guides (KEN GUIDE!) and at least told us on the main page if they are gonna make some new ones or not.

Use to go on a lot more, but since they quit updating SF3 I've disappeared. New guides need to come quick. >.< Damn SF4!!!
Posted by fuk SFIV on April 30, 2009 at 10:35 a.m. #97
SFIII 3rd Strike > SFIV. It's a better designed game overall. People who are hating on 3rd Strike and saying SFIV is a better game are only hyped because it's new, or they suck at 3rd Strike. SFIV feels like your characters are moving under water and it just feels clumsy and dull.

Posted by JerseyFame on May 14, 2009 at 11:52 p.m. #101
Guile being replaced by remy is like removing ken and leaving sean....its disrespect.
Why does Capcom hate Guile when he has one of the most complex and creative movesets while only having 2 specials.
Whats up with that? Remy is a travesty.
Posted by Guile went home on May 16, 2009 at 12:02 p.m. #102
-to be a family man, after Alpha 3-SF2 and Bison got the outs, Jersey.
Remy came out of Capcom probably competing too much with SNK, that or right after they were making JoJo's Bizzare Adventure Fighting game in Capcom, they carried that over into skinny pants French weirdo Remy, along with Play-Doh man Twelve and Robot Android man Q.
Only Makoto, despite a lack of any good story or reason to be fighting, was a great addition to the 3rd strike, final update of SF3.
Posted by Gibbon on May 17, 2009 at 2:06 a.m. #103
2nd the Makoto greatness. She makes for a very complex character with lots of mind games. I really hope she gets added to the SF4 lineup down the road. There's no one really like her gameplay in it so far. If fei long's Tenshin had more range and came out faster, he might be able to play a bit like her. Still hoping for a SF3 remix on xbox/ps3 as no one plays it anymore in my arcade. GGPO's just not the same.

First HDR, then SF4, and now TVC? come on guys stop skipping over 3S! Take a pause from TVC (its not out in the states yet anyways) and finish these 3S guides. This game is due for some love (and finished character guides).

What i want to know in full detail and explicitly is how to exactly unlock GILL as the playable and bonus character that i read about in the strategy guide for Street Fighter 3:Third Strike for the Playstation 2 and original XBOX version of this game that came out on the Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Collection for the PS2 and the original XBOX about 5 years ago? Please post the answer to this question for me because i beat the game on all difficulty levels using too many continues to get lucky and i still didn't unlock him.Thank You in advance for the answer to my question.
Posted by Jordan on June 15, 2009 at 11:06 p.m. #114
@william
uh dude all you have to do is beat arcade mode with each character. doesnt matter what difficulty or how many continues you use. then go to yun on the player select and press up, or go to yang and press down and hes there.
Posted by haru on June 20, 2009 at 2:57 p.m. #115
you should do an ibuki one
Posted by Digital on June 25, 2009 at 9:47 p.m. #116
Nice guides, just dont rush out incomplete guides. People want them bad but don't let that effect the quality of the guides.
Posted by The LegendaryWildPig on July 10, 2009 at 8:37 a.m. #117
Fantastic guides you've written but I agree w/ haru and KazDa973, definitely need an Ibuki guide as soon as possible. You've got 2 of the three I play-Chun Li & Makoto- and the respective guides for them are outstanding. Can't wait for my all time favorite in Ibuki. Still pi$$ed Ibuki isn't in SF4 but c'est la vie; that's for a different forum.

To be honest, I really wish to see 2nd Impact in tournaments rather then 3rd Strike. All you get to see are Chun Li and Yun in tournaments, and I thought 2nd Impact had some balence with the characters as well.
So yeah, sorry but I really would like to a 2nd Impact Panel now. Nobody gives love to that game instead of 3rd Strike, it would be a big supprise if 2nd Impact were being done in tournaments now.
Posted by Ryan on August 9, 2009 at 7:27 p.m. #130
2nd Impact is over... if Third Strike is dying, then there's no chance for 2nd Impact.
anyways, urien please! I want a more in depth guide on Tackle Tackle Headbutt!
Posted by Cannon Revenge on August 11, 2009 at 9:36 a.m. #131
I thought there would be more Chun-Li players in SFIV because she got SOOO popular in SF3rd Strike, thanks to her power. I guess people will only choose the strong characters because there's too many Sagats in SFIV. I wish people were more diverse than this... Even I play Chun-Li in SFIV, but I don't see Chun-Li enough online.

Please keep in mind im very determined to get better at Yun to prove to others that the graph you displayed of him being top class is not a joke. So please make a Yun guide as soon as possible.
filo_fish@msn.com
Posted by Yuff on September 18, 2009 at 12:35 p.m. #144
I'm begging you, please don't make a Yun guide. We don't need more Genei-Jin users in this world.
Posted by Shannon on September 21, 2009 at 5:49 a.m. #145
There is no reason why there should not be a Yun guide. Yun may be a annoying character if used and mastered well since he is top class but so is Chun-Li and Dudley. As everone can see you have made good guides for those two (Chun-Li, Dudley) but there needs to be a Yun guide for fans of him and as well for advanced players like me who have mastered the basic character such as Ryu and Ken and have more interest in learning harder and more professional ones.
filo_fish@msn.com
Posted by YerAlma on September 21, 2009 at 3:30 p.m. #146
please put a URIEN Guide
Posted by Shannon on September 22, 2009 at 12:39 a.m. #147
Please put new guides for Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike; according to my last comments can you please make a Yun guide for fans of him as well as more advanced players. Also please make a Yun guide to show more people that top class characters such as Chun-Li can be defeated and also to back up what you have told your fans that her weakness is Yun's dive kicks. Once a Yun guide has been created please continue making others for people like me who want to continue mastering every character. Once again i thank you for your time in reading this and i wish you all the best. If your having trouble i advice you to look ad gamefaqs.com and shoryuken.com they have preety good info but the problem is their guide are not as easy to understand as yours. All the best:

@160 Red Parries are parrying during a block, for example if you wanted to red parry urien's ex tackle, you would block the first hit and press f when you think the 2nd hit would come in contact with you.

I'm going to post this here, and the tier-list section, but there is a new tier-list for 3rd Strike, as of 2009, I guess. Sorry for the lack of the number chart.
Arcadia tier list-
S+ - Chun-Li
S - Yun
A+ - Ken, Dudley
A - Makoto, Yang
A- - Urien, Akuma, Ryu, Oro
B+ - Hugo
B - Elena, Ibuki, Alex
C - Necro, Twelve, Remy, Q
D - Sean

Posted by Igi on April 11, 2010 at 11:11 p.m. #191
I know that's not your tier-list but Necro should not be that low. He can start ridiculous combos with absolutely no meter off just a throw.

Posted by JohnnyRainbow on May 18, 2010 at 6:02 a.m. #194
Igi: That tier list is based on recent Japanese tournament standings and results. One could argue that Hugo isn't a B+ character either, but quite a few players have started to catch up to Hayao and YSB's level of play since 2009, being able to beat down Chun players as well(according to Arcadia Magazine's tier list dissection), hence him getting bumped up the list.
Necro can dish out some very damaging combos, but he sucks in the corner, which quite a few characters can take advantage of(even Q).

Ahh sorry I will try to find a bud of mine who can do Hugo. Because 12 and Hugo are really the only characters I have no business in doing a guide for.

This might be the best Urien match for learners
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHk-Xk...
Not because it's a beasting but because it has every Urien staple setup beside the corner one we've all seen hundreds of times. It has everything. Aegis as a Shoryuken meatie, Aegis-less corner combos, mid-screen Aegis mixups, using the fireball to keep the opponent in the air for another move. It's almost a showcase by RX.

Question, why does no one use Gill? I keep looking around for some gameplay of him, but I can never find someone who uses him outside of arcade mode play throughs. Is there some unwritten rule to not use him? His he banned, what's the deal?
Posted by rpgfighter on August 22, 2010 at 1:56 p.m. #212
In every competitive tournament he is banned yes. No one wants to use him because for the most part instead of impressing your friends theres really no point at all and learning him since hes banned in tournaments.
Posted by JohnJohnson on August 22, 2010 at 2:50 p.m. #213
Let me guess, his Resurrection super makes him over powered.
Posted by rpgfighter on August 22, 2010 at 4:27 p.m. #214
Not even really that.
That one super that aint the meteor is broken.
His normals have insane amounts of priority and his combos are way too powerful and damage heavy.
If you wanna have a playable Gill just use Urien because honestly thats kinda why they made Urien. For the most part they do the same style of poking and combos.

When will the guides completed?
Posted by ibLeo on January 25, 2011 at 12:30 a.m. #224
I think it's pretty obvious that the guides won't be completed any time soon - nobody really cares about 3s right now because there's all this buzz about SSF4 AE and MVC3. At least, nobody who would be respected enough for eventhubs to want their guide cares enough to write up a guide.
Posted by Hayabusa_San on February 4, 2011 at 9:54 a.m. #225
I hope that, with the future release of SF3:TSO in 360 and PS3, the remaining guides will be completed. I love 3rd Strike, and there is really good info in this section to let it abandoned.
Posted by rpgfighter on February 6, 2011 at 6:36 a.m. #226
If you look on the forums you can see plenty of guides that we are still working on. All of the characters WILL have guides its just a matter of when.
Because with 3s its really hard to find info on the internet, while a lot of the Super guides come out faster because its easier to find info.
And yeah with AE/MVC3 on the fore front we will probably wait until 3sOE gets a release and then we will most likely put all of our work into the guides.
So go ahead and check the forums and see what we got. We still need some people to do some other guides too.

Posted by U4iA27 on May 26, 2011 at 7:52 p.m. #235
Even with 3s:OE its time has past.nothing will change.it won't make it back in evo, and if the online is anything less than perfect it will remain 4gotten.3s is one of the main reasons we went 10 years w/o a new fighter. the removal of the original cast (which is a big part of what makes sf sf.ryu and ken had to be bitched back into NG) and the parry system destroyed everything that made sf what it is.
specials aren't half as useful in controlling space and it favors players with better reactions regardless of how good a players gameplan is.if u cant parry don't bother playing.this is why ST and A3 will always be the best SFs ever made.3s isn't street fighter, its its own fg with ryu,ken,akuma and as guest chars.
Any1 in here sackriding the top players that say ssf4 is for scrubs are dumb.its your precious 3s that started the scrubby trend! all charge supers changed to motions? why?was the execution of hold back 2 secs, twd,back,twd + atk or flash kick super really that hard? all chars have universal overheads? what's so hard about breaking thru ur opponents defense?at least 2I required u to press d,d + atk, in 3s its only 2 buttons. then there's parry itself. tap fwd or down and u can stop and punish any normal, special or super in the game?with no negatives for excessive use?(can't say grabs cuz u can opt. select) yea that's not scrubby at all.that's why ST and A3 will always be better.
Posted by BlueHadou on May 27, 2011 at 11:04 p.m. #236
"with no negatives for excessive use?" oh, c'mon -_-
The negatives don't come from the use of itself, but from the intention of using it. It's obvious if you use parry too much you'll get tricked and they will punish you. Parry system is what made SFIII different from other games. Basically almost all attacks can be parried. Did other games has a mechanic that allow you to penetrate super but only open up the chance the counter (only chance)? It's a simple yet deep technique. Parry system also solves the removal of air block.
In this game fireball mostly acts as parry-bait. Super are changed to motion because IT'S OBVIOUS it wouldn't be fair for those who always have motion because of parry system.
And what's wrong with almost entirely different cast? We get fresh story, new library of characters, And potential for new story.
i'm a neither fanboy of ST & A3 nor SFIII but i think this game is just too hardcore for you.
Posted by U4iA27 on June 7, 2011 at 8:31 a.m. #237
i started playing back on dreamcast,stopped then picked it back up when it dropped on ps2.ive played all sfs since world warrior and the 3 series felt the least like sf.it def shouldve been called something else.the game is far from too hardcore for anybody with half a brain. parry doesn't have any negatives.with things like option-selects,sggk, and being able to extend the parry window by just tapping toward or down w/o pressing anything else there's no real negative. plus it strips the game down to being forced to play footsies with just bare normals and there's no type of truly ranged fighting whatsoever since everything outside of grabs can be parried. zoning with fireballs is also pointless,ppl can jumpin for free since any non grab AA can be parried.parry also favors non charge type chars as u've already pointed out.
parry doesn't make the game hardcore,all it does is promote reckless offense.even the wake up game is riddled with the promotion of reckless offense with ridiculous meaty setups.then u got chars with dumb and/or broken ass super arts.elena can heal herself (healing, in a fg?only 1 char can use? really? ragna in bb is dumb 2 btw),urien can make a 6 hit corner that also reflects fireballs wherever he wants,yun has a super that has the shortest bar in the game (I believe)that let's him cancel all his atks into eachother in any order and gains massive frame adv that literally makes parrying (what ur supposed to use to defend urself by punishing predictable play) obsolete once they start mashing cr.short into free pressure.ur only option is to block and hope ur eye catches the zenpo tenshin.then u get caught and he has "the ender" which leaves him 1 hit/whiff away from doing it all over again.
then there's chun sa2.a super that takes 30%+ dmg and leads to free mixup and she has 2 bars?broken.oh and switching the entire cast is a problem when the majority of the new cast is complete ass both design wise and thru actual play.the alpha series has alpha counter & guard meter,ex series had guard crush (or break can't remember),sf4 series has the focus system.all punish reckless offense and predictable play while having sufficient negatives for excessive use.

Posted by lowtier4life on June 18, 2011 at 2:35 a.m. #240
@237 then don't play it. More 3rd strike for the fans. 3rd strike built off of what made SF 2 great and added more. And parries require timing, if you mess up a parry you get hit,comboed or worse. You can't mindlessly rush in either. And just cause you can't use your hadouken,hadouken hadouken strategy doesn't mean the game is bad. Plus to do most of the REALLY damaging stuff you have to have good execution (unless you're chun anyway). And the new cast of characters were fresh and interesting. Sf3 was the hardest to play thats why people overlooked it initially but it got such a cult underground following.

Since SF3 third strike online edition coming out, they will update characters that was not in the guide.
Posted by U4iA27 on June 25, 2011 at 8 p.m. #245
@240 - all the III series did was take sf2,gut it of all that made it good,thru a bunch of nameless nobodies in (which only 6 became truly popular) and added parry.that's it.the twins were pallette swaps in ng and normals wise didn't change much in si and 3s.sean started off good just to get shafted at the end.necro is dhalsim & blanka put together.remy is guile with a low sonic boom and a jumpkick move.Q is a slow balrog with a command grab and some slaps.twelve is the dumbest char ever created.such interesting chars.
as far as the whole hadoken,hadoken hadoken strategy not being viable its not even about that really.its the fact that AA's are practically non-existent.depending on the char ur opposition rarely has to worry about jumping in.parry makes certain things too free.and depending on the speed of the atk ur trying to parry u do still have time to block.the game feels very random with a lot of guessing required.there's no solid concrete way to strategically beat a person (thru zoning & spacing).in a lot of instances (especially when top tiers are involved) its whoever guesses right 1st.if 3sOE has color edit ill play it but its mainly fun when not taking it seriously.
Posted by MadMetalSlayer on June 28, 2011 at 1:22 a.m. #246
whats funny is that they have a guide for Sean and not for other chars like Hugo, Q and damn, they don't even have Yun

Hello did anyone play 3rd strike at fun land in toronto......There was realy good players there
Posted by juggernaut1981 on July 5, 2011 at 3:01 p.m. #249
@237 knows very little to nothing about the game he's hammering and shouldn't be taken all that seriously and frankly is on of the reasons this great web site it called event-scrubs. Not like I'm saying at all you need to be a walking encyclopedia of knowledge in game in order to spit hate on it, everyone's entitled to thier opinion. But when your so opinionated and know so little its offensive. The EX series was @ss, A3 was the dumbest game in existence after the discovery of crouch canceling, Elena's healing super is absolutely useless in high level play, AA grabs in third strike by and large aren't good. ect ect....sigh
My point is really experience the game before you trash it and watch some high level matches, see how deep the game is and play it beyond a day one scrub level yourself. AA parry games are almost completely no in the picture because the one in the air is at a disadvantage, parry mechanic or not. There's alot more to a game than what you see on the surface. Otherwise on the surface alone nothing Capcom puts out is worth playing with that mindset.

Great guide, but I noticed it's missing a Gill page. Also, the alternate colors that require using the start button don't work in the 360 version. Are they even there?
Posted by bullitt23 on September 5, 2011 at 4:46 p.m. #258
@257 Gill is basically a op version of urien or rather urien is an unbroken version of gill with some altered commands
http://ensabahnur.free.fr/Baston/inde...
plus the extra colours are the ones which they stripped from the orignal and half of the new colours in the colour packs are them. Lame i know.
Also i lol'd hard at the guy who thought gill was op just because of ressurrection, guys combos and even normal and special attacks does a tonne of damage, 70% damage super arts, amongst other reasons. His only redeemable weaknesses are that his hitbox is large and that some of his normal attacks are slow, and even those can be avoided
3s is the best 2d possible best fighting game ever released, or atleast imo anyways
Posted by xoverlord1022x on September 5, 2011 at 9:37 p.m. #259
@258 so any of the costumes that need to use the start button are not included in the game as of now(on the xbox of course) cause obviously the 6 regular buttons give u the first six and the one where u press jab forward and fierce works so im guessing just the ones that need start arent in the game at all?
Posted by bullitt23 on September 6, 2011 at 6:50 p.m. #260
@259 I could be wrong but yeah, i think they've stripped them from the game.
i think they're 8 altogether as my friend plays pad on ps3 and said that L2/LT and R2/RT also give him a different kit (for us stick players i think we'd have to assign the extra 2 buttons as 3 punches and kicks or maybe hit jab forward and fierce and vice versa for the kicks). I always thought the game needed a random button but sadly its sacrificed kits for it :( I dont know why they didnt just add a extra symbol on the player select screen instead
Posted by Formless on September 6, 2011 at 10:56 p.m. #261
To get the extra color set for you characters, beat their arcade mode on any difficulty like before, and then go to downloadable content in the main menu. Go to my content, and colors, and you can select the second color set for your character.
Posted by BUYACUSHUN on September 25, 2011 at 11:03 a.m. #262
im conused as to why this game gets so much love. i mean it seems so unbalanced and parrying seems kinda cheap in this fighting game.
Posted by fatalhorizon on September 25, 2011 at 5 p.m. #263
well parrying actually seems to balance it so that even characters like hugo can win with good parrying. its not like you can walk up and parry every move its actually pretty hard.
