Tip from Oroku_Saki and Zabby.
hey Eventhubs, dont you think its time to finish the 3s character guides? when i got into SF through GGPO it really helped me and my ryu. but since the game will be played a lot more now, it would be nice to have a full character guide. im thinking of picking up elena:)
@4, yeah I was thinking of maining Urien. Those guides have been gathering dust though.
Also, I pray that this game will not be over priced at 1200ms points. I rly hope they put it at 800.
Aw, I was hoping for a summer release that was sooner, only because by then I'll have like a week left before I'm back in university continuing my Bachelor of Education if it's dropped in late August.
Either or, stoked!
SF3 > SSF4 (in my opinion).
Finally...a game where zoning is completely irrelevant and useless lol. The irony is that I mained Ken in SFIII:3S and used Guile in SSFIV. I can't wait to go back to playing SFIII: 3S again while SSFIV AE collects dust.
here i come Urien and Denjin Ryu (HAHAHAHAHAHA laugh all you want at my Denjin Ryu, i'll still rape you!) lol
@Kennn
I plan to update all the 3s guides once OE hits consoles. It will take a while to go through all of them, but trust me they'll be revamped entirely ;P
Will anyone who frequents this sight not purchase this game?
It's SO nice to see Akuma's SA3 (Messatsu Gourasen) in the trailer! It's such a BEAUTIFUL move (unlike the Roflcopter in SSF4). I feel like Capcom put it in there JUST FOR ME(laugh)!! I only wish they returned its 2nd Impact properties (all the cancels etc)...
Overall, Akuma in 3S is so BADASS (more than in any other SF). He's so cool looking and all his moves there are F-ING AWESOME!
I didn't plan to buy OE, because I really hoped for some well thought tweaks - like making supers more even (so that not everyone uses Yun's SA3 or Chun's SA2). After seeing that tasty trailer though I might get the OE - just to see my Messatsu Gourasen a few (million) times more...
I hope this game is balanced Im sick of playing against overpowered Yun!
Akuma's Demon Flip Punch in 3s is not awesome. It's one of the goofiest looking moves in the game. Man, it looks like I stop playing SF4 permanently on August 23rd. Not mash friendly except for wake-up super? Opponents are actually committed to blocking/parrying on wake-up? Dudley is actually good? Yeah baby.
Can this game die already I love the features that it is going to have but this game almost killed capcom fighting games, it is less balanced than SF4 and Marvel. I rather Ultimate MVC3 got the awesome new features in stead of this game.

How could you make a comment like that after seeing the amount of love this game still gets and seeing the people commenting here who are hyped for it?
Its a game that created one of the best video game moments in fighting game history. Which is actually a moment that has got many people into (or at least gain interest interest in) street fighter.
And for the record, its debatable as to whether SF4AE is more balanced than this game but theres no way in hell that its less balanced than marvel. Even if it was, at least this game is not random. You work hard for your wins in 3rd strike. You dont hit 4 buttons and rape your opponents bum with relative ease.
Third strike does have the hard core fans but it alienated everyone else. Capcom's sale were terrible during that period. 2d fighting games almost disappeared during the zenith of this game. Many game critics thought that Street Fighter was a dead franchise because of the problems with third strike. SF4 success is the only reason that community has grown to the size that it is now. 3 would be considered a failure in almost any aspect other than love from serious fans. SF4 is the reason why capcom is releasing new fighting games and updates almost every year now.
The daigo moment came happened in 2005 the community barely grew from that. Third Strike did not improve anything
Marvel is more balanced because every character can make a difference unlike SF3 where almost all the cast is trash. Also all characters have some use and everybody has X factor it does lead to comebacks but that is something you have to be ready for that's apart of the game.
I know you guys like the game but it hurt Street Fighter as a franchise more than helped, SF4 revived Street Fighter that's why EVO has grown so much more. SF3 should just go away.
I show you the math since 2003 there have been 12 Yuns used and 26 Chun-Lis in who made it to top 8. They take up 67.857% of all character used in top 8 for 7 years. MCV2 is much worse don't get me wrong but not balanced i'm sorry.
I do believe SF3 alienated casual SF players. When I started playing it I hated many things about it. Most importantly, the characters were so weird... There were just too many WEIRDOS in SF3 series. Ok, you had Blanka in SF2, but even he was based on some martial arts and it was only him. In 3S there were just too many marvel-like characters and that WAS NOT GOOD.
In contrary, once you started using those characters (like Necro, Oro, or Twelve) you would realize that they are AMAZINGLY well-developed and really fun to use. Too bad MANY MANY people didn't give the game enough time to see that:(
I also believe SF3 was a financial failure and it was a dusk for the era of fighting games. However, I don't think that failure was purely SF3's fault. During that time we experienced an abrupt switch from 2d to 3d games and some games suffered greatly from that switch. With its 2d graphics SF all of sudden felt really old-fashioned and it discouraged many players from picking it up.
Another change during that decade was a decrease (and eventual DEATH) of arcade-gaming and increase of home-gaming. It was a tricky transition for many franchises as well...
I'm not saying this is a bad game at mechanics actually one of the best technical games, I just think we should move on, instead of staying in the past. Be done with SSF2T, MVC2, even SF4 vanilla, and Super SF4. Third Strike is much better and more balanced than every SF before it, but as games progress the balance and accessibly gets better.
Yang And Q FTW! but all ill be heading for is FTL....
3rd strike may not be balanced but why is it that u see low-mid tier characters still being able to dominate? Just look at them videos on youtube.
Id say the game just has a VERY STEEP learning curve.
Lulz, I just submitted this tip in >.<
