3rd Strike General Discussion Thread

Good god the saturation.

Are there any good matches I should watch for Oro vs Yang? I hate fighting twins.

thanks. but unfortunately it’s not just the language barrier. i’m a perfectionist by nature. the difficulty of convincing myself that i can plan things without any errors has caused me to miss out on many life experiences in the past. i doubt that anyone wants to babysit me if i do end up in japan.

is it too late to book flights? also where are you guys staying? how do people do thisssssssssssssssssssss

How people do this is book a flight and come.

You’re not going to have a set plan being here which is the reason it’s so fun. If you want an itinerary you’re better off going on one of those package tours for old people.

Tokyo is seriously like 15 km wide so as long as you stay somewhere central you’ll be fine.

Nowadays with the Internet and smartphones, coming here can’t be any more easy.

I think if you want to go you should just go for it. life’s an adventure! who knows how long coop will happen or if you’ll regret not going.

I’m staying at New Koyo which a quick currency conversion on google tells me costs about 33 Canadian dollars a night. looks like just a small room with a bed and wifi. you could map out all the places you’ll want to go on google maps in advance. there’s a LOT of westerners confirmed going this year so I suspect there’ll be lots of english speakers around + I think a couple western teams still need members.

I have no idea what I’m doing also, but ā€œYOLOā€ as they say

It looks like Canadians are like Americans in that they only need a passport for a stay that’s three months or less. So first order of business is obtain a passport and plane ticket.

I’ll just put it this way…

The first time I went I didn’t speak a word of Japanese and had no idea what I was doing.

I almost got scammed by a hooker for like 600 bucks, and then I got insanely lost when I passed out on the train shitfaced. Woke up with the most hardcore hangover in the middle of nowhere and had to manage my way back. I compared it to playing a brand new Rpg game (when the map is still blacked out, had to ask random people for tips, etc.) Best week of my life.

Anybody know what the New Jersey 3rd Strike scene is like? Moorestown, NJ is about an hour from Doylestown, PA and NYC, and it’s a 30 minute drive from Philadelphia.
Any weekly or monthly events?

Hey Ryan or anyone else who knows. Where is 3s popular in Shinjuku? Am I gonna have to be riding the train when I want to play?
I’m gonna be living near Mikado. But I don’t know how popular 3s is there.

Hey wargreymon you going to coop cup?

3S isn’t popular in Shinjuku so far as I know, but like…you’re going to be living by Mikado? They have 5 setups running regularly, I’m sure people show up. Also, Newton and Versus are both like a 15 minute train ride away, and the trains are ALWAYS on time in Japan. I think you’ll have it good enough.

When I have gone it’s to Doylestown to play.
I’m not sure if there currently is but there was a cab at 8 on the Break in Dunellen. Not sure who would play there though.

I’m from up near Hackettstown and Chester and it’s worth the drive to go play with everyone in Doylestown.
If you’re thinking of going you could send a message to Diaperbomb probably and he could give you some info.

I have a Supergun with 3S so if I do move to NJ, I’m pretty sure we could get a few people to play once in a while (if you want of course). I’ll definitely send Diaperbomb a message if my move is official, thanks for the info.

Siren Records in Doylestown is the home of a versus city cab if you didn’t know, so that’s why it’s kind of a location for people.
A supergun is dope though just means more flexibility for smaller events or anything. Everyone from maryland to nyc would appreciate having another setup in the east lol

There’s three places to play in shinjuku but there’s hardly anyone there.

If you want to play good people you’ll have to go to the designated spot to play on any given day.

Gotta say, the funnest matchup imo would have to be Oro vs Akuma. With Oro having directional fireballs to counter Akumas downwards, the divekick vs airstomp, double jumping over red fireballs and with them BOTH having more supers to look out for with great counters to each others (teleport through Ex Dama and double jumping a raging demon)

It’s just great. Really hoping to see them together in the same game at some point again!

I don’t know who saw the Famitsu 10 on 10 video but I am stealing pierrot’s moves.
