these makes daigo's evo parry moment look...like child's play
This is so much better than the high level play of sstf4
No offense but damn those moves are sick
capcom should release a down loadable contect via xbl and psn which not only includes 3rd strike, but the 2 other sf3's in a bundle..that'd be pretty dope. even if they only released sf3 third strike, i'd be happy. in all honesty though, i would love for it to get an hd remix..but i highly doubt capcom appreciates those of us who still admire 3rd strike as being the best sf out there. 3rd strike 4 life
This is 2nd match compilation that comes from user named agtool. You guys should really subscribe to him for future compilations.
this vid makes ssf4 makoto and dudley look trash... great vid!
SF3 is cool yea, but I don't like it if you can't fight back once you are knocked up in the air. I want a brawl, a fist fight, a street fight! Not a uppercut = two third of your lifebar are gone.. But it certainly looks way cooler. SFIV IMO has more fun to play.
See this is what a good game looks like.
Now if we can just get this on to PS3/360 more people can play it and experience how much better this game is then SSF4.
It's great to watch but you are going to be sorely disappointed if you think you are going to be able to parry normally, let alone parrying a super in match. The game was incredibly technical and thus popular with the best players but not anyone else.
If you enjoy this type of play check out TheShend on YT. He only posts SF3 matches and he does so regularly. Mostly Ranbats like the ones used to make this montage.
The current level of play is incredible. The parrying skills are out of this world and the field of characters has increased a lot in recent times.
3S is the most beautiful fighting game to watch, I hope Capcom does something with the game in the future I still like it more than SF4.
Top 3S play > Top S4 play imo. They both require skills but even Chun mirrors at the current top level are more fun to watch than Shoto matches in S4.
@21 what are you talking about fighting back once you are knocked into the air... pretty much any game where you are knocked into the air it leads to some kind of air combo, you cant fight back if that happens... please explain cause honestly what you said was kinda dumb...
RX is a pure monster, the part where he parries lighting kicks until he gets bored and goes for the SA made me laugh "I'm not going to lose, I'm not going to lose...blah here it goes...I LOst !".
This video demonstrates how taking risks in 3S can be highly rewarding sometimes. Too bad I can't say the same for SF4 :(.
This is like, all URIEN!!!
lets get urien back in ssf4! check out this vid about it:
3S is just way too advanced for a healthy community to thrive. Games need a community to survive, and unfortunately, not enough people have the time in their lives to get as good as they need to be in 3S. That is what is great about SSF4, it's about fundamentals, more than it is about ridiculous execution.
Third strike is definitely the hardcore players game.
Great footage BTW.
@ # 28
What are you trying to say? You think girls can't play
complex games. It not that hard to play a videogame.
So stop being a sexist jerk.
god I miss seeing this type of mind games with akuma...
Daigo's Evo moment will always be one of the most memorable due to that been very rarely if not at all seen, especially by the North American crowd. But yeah, these days the Japanese players have parrying practically mastered.
And lol @ parrying Ibuki's and Necro's SA.
How is it that that Street Fighter III 3rd Strike (a game that is broken beyond all belief and has a parrying system so overpowered, it causes everyone to pick Chun and just spam cr. MK in hopes of hitting the opponent to combo into a SA II) is infinity more popular than Garou: Mark of the Wolves (a game that is possibly the most balanced fighting game ever made and has a parrying system that is neither overpowered nor underpowered and doesn't cause the player to reline on it and use other gameplay systems)?
I swear, I thought that the fighting game community was stupid, but not THAT stupid.
Personal highlights
1. 1:34-1:44 (That Combo took ALL of Akumas health)
2. 5:04-5:07 (I don't care if the alex player lost, that was awesome)
3. 6:00-6:02 (Triple Tatsumaki FTW!)
4. 7:20-7:32 (He got counter supered once, why try again?)
5. 8:08-8:17 (...)
This is BEAST
