That was pretty funny........ but i'd still **** poison.
Lol, very funny.
The best player mained Hugo? That means 3rd Strike has a system that enables you to win with anyone, provided you have the patience and diligence to get there.
Still, this video definitely makes me aware that the game won't be anywhere near as successful as SF4.
This game doesn't cater to the casual, which is really good and really bad at the same time. It will never truly prosper I don't think, but to those who play, it is the best game out there. I thoroughly enjoyed this vid, thanks for putting it up Cat, i'll be subscribing to him for sure.
lol unbunch those panties man.it was an obvious troll for lolz.its obvious that the only reason 3sOE exists is so the diehards that cant let go and move on can play their game on a next gen console.sure scrubs and new gen players will try it, see that its hard to play,requiring excessive amounts of work to be put in (most top players have 10+ years under their belts)as well as chun and yun are broken and quickly drop the game.
OE is just riding off the coattails of SF4 to milk money from the 3s fanbase really can't blame them though.
LOL@ 3s fanboys...worst cast of reject characters, but with "hip" music.....sad
The cast is awesome and is what kept the game fresh. Same old characters gets boring after a while with regard to the SF2 cast. Music is awesome, too. Fits the game very well.
Of course 3rd Strike won't be as successful as SFIV. It's pretty obvious that the same lazy scrubs who shunned SFIII and who feel entitled to be good at games without putting any effort into it will do the same thing again as it's "too hard" for them.
Leave 3rd Strike to the people who want to play it. All the scrubs have their easy mode SFIV to masturbate over whenever they're butthurt at being beasted in 3rd Strike because they suck balls at it.
@11
I'd like to add that bashing SF4 in favor of 3S really makes you no better than them.
Just because SF4 is initially more Noob friendly doesn't mean that it can't be played at an incredibly high level.
If all your experiencing is scrubby noob play then your playing with the wrong crowd.
@13 Doesn't change the fact that SF3 takes more skill to play at a high level than SF4 even if you use Chun or Yun.
@14
I play both. Love both. But I don't agree with you.
Learning to parry and hit confirm into SuperArts isn't as difficult as most ppl like to make it seem.
I've found that the Focus system is vastly deeper than the one/two dimensional parry system.
I love both systems btw.
Let's not forget to mention that the elitist 3s players railing against scrubs can't wait for OE to release so they can have someone to play against again. Hypocrites.
Let's not forget 99% of the people in this site started off at SF4 and probably only play that and are probably like, 14 years old, so they have no right to bash a game they've never played. Keep in mind, these are the same people who say Rufus and Yun are the same, Gen and Yang are the same, and Yun and Yang are the same.
@21: Citation needed, assuming of course you're not just a troll.
@12
nothing wrong with being a fanboy. theres def something wrong when the 3rd Strike fanboys, however, bash SF4 players for no good reason. just because some people like SF4 more then SF3 doesnt mean there scrubs. half the people where dont even know what that word is and just throw it around loosely. IMO SF3 is much better then SF4 but SF4 has its points too. and what really pisses me off is there elitest attitude towards people who arent good at the game and want to learn. i was on GGPO like 3months ago playing Urien again, and i forgot most of his stuff (well i was never good to begin with). i kept trying to get this guy in an unblockable starting with cr. Fierce (bad move). he kept messaging me "spam that cr.HP (yea he said HP) more scrub." and he kept going at it. im like O_o
please be a 3rd Strike fanboy, hell die for your game if you want, just dont be a dick to those who want to learn (not talking directly to you #12).
My only problem with 3S, and keep in mind, no one has been able to answer this, is that, as an Oro player, parry kills charge. So ... parrying makes 1/3 of the cast have even more of a disadvantage in a game that is already heavily eschewed towards aggressive play.
I'm just hoping for an honest answer from someone that doesn't play Yun/Chun/Ken. And if I can add one more thing, please don't mention Kuroda. There's too many factors against that as a point. From the fact that he doesn't play charge to him playing the game for 8 years before he switched to lower tier, so it doesn't really prove, or disprove, my question.
Sorry, I forgot about Q, but still, my points the same.
It's funny, a lot of the same 3S vets who can't move on to SSF4 are some of the same guys who were telling the Alpha players to move on when SF3 came out.
@ mrdrofficer
Answer what exactly, you stated a possible problem but what question are you trying to pose here? Keeping in mind just cause a character have charge motions doesnt mean they supposed to be defensive based. Urien is a wild bull for a charge character, seen many aggressive oros, mixed styled remys switching from off to def when needed, and Q players are usually defensive unless the other person is being reckless.
Also parrying doesnt kill charges outright unless you are doing it multiple times in a row which ive seen people substitute for red parrying in them situations. Also every charge character have atleast one command special, launch like normal, and there are no charge supers in 3s.
Examples: Urien has Cr. fierce launcher which can lead to just about any of his charge moves, and fireball which doesnt require a charge(fireball leads to juggle state against airborne)
Remy: Cr. fierce launcher which can lead to his qcb+k special then into flash kick, or the usual raw flash kick. And against cornered folks his neutral throw allows for a follow up.
Oro: Close MP launcher which easily lead to his BnB combo. He has his running stomp in the air that doesnt need a charge. And has a hitbased command grab(like ibuki)
Q: his command throw leads to an easy combo and also has his slaps(qcb+p) And sa2 being good for a parry punish idea.
Them are the main 4 charge characters, alex is a mix bag of different motion so no need to go into details with him. Everyone has a good way to punish off a parry even for what would seem to be disadvantage for a charge dude.
Most oros ive seen get the chance to do their BnB cause of parry, add tengu stones to the mix or his orbs for unblockable set ups can lead to pretty nice results. Also charge partitioning can play a big role later down the line.
If you where looking for actual names of players, main name i can think of top of my head oro wise is Dirty music(double music note thing in his name usually) Urien.. RX and messatsu, remy player named pierrot. They seem to make the parry system work for em and doesnt seem to put them at a disadvantage.
I tried to get a recent vid of Peirrot on front page, but it never made it :[
It makes sense though because I figure everyone would be like 'lol who plays this' and more importantly 'who is remy lolol'. Ah well. I'm cool with all the SSF4 news, and looking forward to AE and all the other new things.
Why are sf3 fans so elitist? I admit I have never played SF3 (was more of a snk man back then) but have played virtually every other fighting game since ik+ on the atari st. I have never come across such a hostile group. Kinda puts me off buying sf3 if this is an example of the community.
I love how 3s players sit on their high horse like 3s wasn't the game that started the scrubby trend.All charge supers changed to motion? what was so hard about charge supers?every1 has a universal overhead?was breaking a persons defense really that hard?then there's parry itself. tap foward or down and u can stop and punish any normal special or super (except grab specials/supers)? 3s ending up how it did was a complete fluke,much like a lot of capcoms titles from that era. that's y ST and A3 will always be the best sfs ever made.
Wow, idiots trying to say that 3S was unpopular "because it was hard"... and not because the entire SF3 series was a disaster for the VERY SIMPLE reason that they had removed all of the beloved characters of the most successful franchise installments. Using parry properly is not hard at all. Parrying a denjin hadouken on wake-up, yeah that takes practice but that's less important. Super canceling a shoryuken into denjin? Easy as hell. I found FADC to be way weirder than anything going on in SF3. Maybe some of the EY EY EYYYY Yun combos are pretty rough but overall I don't see what the fuss is about.
I say this as a huge 3S fan. And I have no stake in the "rivalry," which as someone pointed out is just as retarded as SF3 vs. Alpha debates that went down years ago.
@shiranui I would rather see low tiers instead of well you know for 3s on the main page hopefully that article makes it. but keep in mind they get quite a bit of stories it takes time to sort them out but I will say this Charlie>remy.
@31
I've been trying to submit in the C-Royd videos forever now but it still won't get it's own article.
Just to start things off, I'm a big time 3S fan. Have been a fan since 2000. Stopped playing 3S at EVO after 2004 since that was when they switched over to console, but never quit playing the game overall.
I don't like the SF4 series at all. There's just many aspects of it that I don't like.
Now, if you were to ask which game was more successful, there is no argument, the SF4 series is more successful. You can't argue with the sales numbers or the draw it gets at tourneys.
Longevity and depth, I don't believe any of the 3 iterations of SF4 will last the decade that 3S has enjoyed.
I believe SSF4 is more balanced than 3S.
To all the elitists and haters, the arguments being made really don't mean much. Try the game out when it gets re-released. If you like it, great, welcome to the family. If not, oh well no big deal.
That's great. My first question: who are you?
