3rd Strike General Discussion Thread

I believe as many frames as his super/high jump. Doing high jump cancel with characters with longer high jumps are more practical

got a couple WTFs -> just making conversation

Alex jobs made me think

the social tier list

ELITE
Elena (royalty, out of touch with real world)
Urien (politician, weird fettish outfit under his suit figures)
Dudley …
Ken (rich kid heir)
Chun (secret agent? that’s diplomatic circles)
12 (elite pet)

MIDDLE CLASS
Remy (rich enough to ignore real problems and get hung up on past drama)
Yun & Yang (restaurant owners, mob ties? don’t know what to do with that)
Makoto (dojo owner)
Ibuki (college kid, into expensive kicks)

WORKING CLASS
Alex (see above)
Sean (hangs out in the hood)
Necro (sort of ex con?, russian hill billy)
Hugo (rents an attic)
Akuma (no job, flip flops)
Oro (bum)
Ryu (pikey)

oh yeah
Q - dunno
serial killer freak? probably cause he got touched by his alcoholist father
-> working class

Q is either nothing or some detective or something. his ending is like intelligence agencies looking for him iirc, he wears a trench and he’s modeled after the tokusatsu robot detective ā€˜K’ from the 70s.

I put Kuroda’s tier list in a google spreadsheet in order of overall score. Two graphs, same info - difference is just in how the cells are colored, so whichever is easier to read.

Not sure if anyone else cares about this, just thought it would make it easier read.

So I’ve been trying to up my Ryu game and main him, while keeping Q as my pocket. Any suggestions on super choices? I like SA3 a lot, but I hear SA1 is more viable.

They’re all viable.
It really depends on how you like to play the character and how you approach a match up.

Ryu, as one would expect, is really versatile.

I like SA2. I’m not that good at the game so take it all with a grain of salt.
SA1 if you want to pretend to be Ken,
SA2 if you like the razor’s edge,
SA3 if you like setup type gameplay.

John D made a surprise appearance at Boiler Room. No commentary unfortunately but I did see a bit of Urien. His wife seems like a sweetheart.

Funland, has anyone ever told you that you look like the dude who played Jason in the first Friday the 13th movie?

Went to freeplay at Newton today and literally like 3 other people showed up during the entire 5 hours. For the first 45 minutes I was playing the CPU (granted, I’m still adjusting to CPS3 so I didn’t mind the opportunity). Definitely got my money’s worth though. Pretty much played the whole 5 hours. Hopefully I didn’t bore whoever I was playing too much. I wish I had like any conversation ability, so I’d know who I was even playing. I’m assuming they were just messing around, because I was able to win a decent number of matches early on, and then suddenly I’d lose 15 in a row.

Nobody was on any of the other games either, as far as I noticed. If I read their twitter right, ST and VF55FS were also freeplay? RIP arcades, guess I made it just in time.

Oh since I’m posting, QUESTION: Does Dudley’s mid-screen cr.MKx2 > dash > cr.mp > uppercut work on anyone other than Chun-Li? I don’t have a stick at home atm, so I can’t really try it out. Just learned about it, and it’s not as hard as I thought.

There only so many characters that can be juggled with two cr. HKs. Some other notable ones might be Q, Elena and maybe Dudley but I don’t know if you can get the cr. str out in time with any of the other characters. If you can get the strong, I’m sure you can get the uppercut.

Tested this out, maybe my execution is off but the only other person I could get that combo to work on was Elena.

You’re thinking of cr.hk , and yes, it works on everyone, but Chun-Li can get hit by cr.hk 8 times.

Out of the corner! And the cr. hk is only 6 times!

That combo does not work on everyone, and like Dander said, c.HK can only juggle 6 times, and only in the corner against certain characters.

I dunno why I typed cr.mk, obviously that doesn’t juggle. And yeah, of course I know about the corner juggle, although embarrassingly I can’t always remember who it works on in spite of playing Dudley for like a year and a half. Like, female characters yes, shotos no, twins no, Remy yes, Dudley yes, Q yes, and I’m never sure about the remainder. My guess for the moment is Oro and Necro yes, Alex, Urien, Twelve, Hugo no. No time to check!

The corner juggle works on Alex too.

Dander does sound like a hipster (no surprise).
