3rd strike questionnaire started by boss

Womble · February 1, 2013, 2:06am

Lol, Rikimaru seems pretty cool.

hismit · February 1, 2013, 2:17am

Rikimaru is a lovely bastard.

TartarusHugo · February 1, 2013, 6:47am

I loved the section on how Rikimaru had **MOV **as his teacher.

yuuki · February 1, 2013, 7:13am

Yo aku thanks for translating it. Just to help out I think some of it though was different like rikimaru said men harassment instead of mental and said boss is a sloppy player not crude? I dunno this was yesterday I was reading his answers though. I’m pretty sure there’s things I didn’t translate well so please correct me as well.

aku · February 1, 2013, 7:46am

He said メンヘラ, which I see used a lot in cases of mental illnesses.
Yeah, “sloppy” would be better used in this case of 雑.

Thanks for the proofread.

Wait so in 2006 he started playing 3rd Strike and then in 2007 he OCV’d KO, BOSS and MOV?? or did i misread something?

Also is the BBK thing an inside joke? i saw a few tournaments where people were signed up as ‘BBK’s Wife’ and ‘BBK’s Son’

aku · February 1, 2013, 2:21pm

MOV was his teacher for a year, and yes he OCVed KO, Boss and MOV. He’s gotten insanely better since then, to where he solidly took down Kuroda the year after.

I’m not sure either, which is why I got confused when translating that part. It could be an inside joke?

ryan · February 1, 2013, 2:44pm

It’s definitely a joke. Bbk is like 25ish and not the kind of guy to have 5 kids lol. Seems like a successful, and responsible office man.

TartarusHugo · February 2, 2013, 8:15am

We need more of these questionnaires…

My wishlist:
Yakkun
Ochibi
Nitto
YSB
Hayao
Mimora

ryan · February 2, 2013, 9:40am

So I guess 5股 in this context means he has like 5 girlfriends simultaneously. It’s slang and not appropriate, so must be some kind of inside joke.

aku · February 2, 2013, 11:39am

Fixed. Thanks again to Yuuki and ryan for the proofread and clear up.

hismit · February 4, 2013, 12:46pm

They added lots of new ones: Atsushi, Seikun, Nakumura, Iyan.

yuuki · February 4, 2013, 12:59pm

Didn’t realize iyan and nakamura filled them out already. I’ll get back on it tonight or tomorrow. thanks for the heads up.

Jul1an · February 4, 2013, 6:59pm

itachi is makotos double, pretty sure it stands for 1 touch kill.

aku · February 4, 2013, 11:52pm

I’ll try to do Raoh’s later tonight. Another old-school head in the 3S scene, not to mention he has two infamous moments: accidentally pushing start against Hungbee at Evo, and losing to Justin Wong his first serious year of 3S at Evo.

wargreymon · February 15, 2013, 3:54am

Any updates on translations for other players?

aku · February 15, 2013, 1:19pm

I’ll try to start one during Saturday before evening. Been busy working lately.

yuuki · February 15, 2013, 1:21pm

sorry been lagging. I’ll get on it too.

yuuki · February 16, 2013, 9:42am

Atsushi 1) what is your game name and origin? (^a^)< Atsushi is my real name. Ill never forgive the drooling makoto from versus! *talking about tominaga 2) How long have you been playing 3rd strike? the tougeki before the last, I think. Around the summer of 2010. Guess its been around 2 years now. 3) Where is your home arcade? Koenji is my favorite so I have them include me as part of the Koenji group. However, depending on events Ill go to other arcades as listed below. please play against me if you see me there. Tue: takadanobaba mikado Wed: ooyama newton Thur: nishinippori game versus Fri: nishinippori game versus Sat: koenji cube Sun: nishinippori versus or ooyama newton Other: ikebukuro safari and xbox OE 4) How’d you start playing 3rd strike? I started because I watched videos of Aruka. I couldn’t figure out how to become like aruka, but id go to danisen anyway. There Nuki taught me a lot of things and i would practice often with Kuni. After that other players including Kuroda and Rikimaru would teach me things. Now Boss is training me. 5) Who’s your main character and why? Ibuki. I started using ibuki thinking she was a strong character. I got tricked by Aruka videos. 6) Which player do you respect/admire? Higa. Ibuki is Higa. 7) Who are your rivals? In the beginning I couldnt beat Tominaga at all. For half a year, every day it was a challenge to see if I could beat him at least once that day. Nowadays, Im trying to get Hiyama, a chun player from Koenji to understand/realize. 8) What players are you keen on? Oryu. We were suppose to team for tougeki last year but he ended up not being able to go to tougeki so i had to change my team. I think he’s half retired now but I’d like to team with him again. When I get stronger, Ill look for a 3rd person and go get him to teach for tougeki. 9) Any matches that were memorable? Nuki kumite (50games). Its the first time I lost 50 games in a row. 10) Anything you’d change in 3rd strike? I want ibuki to have a triangle jump! i dont think itll effect the game too much. 11) Self analysis I think my natural talent and such is all just average. 12) What do you like about 3rd? For better or for worse, 1 parry can change the match. 13) Will you keep playing 3rd? Yes I’ll keep playing. 現状の勢力図をぶち壊したい。 (??) 14) Any last words? PA is to build meter, so please dont get offended if i use it.

yuuki · February 16, 2013, 10:03am

Iyan

1)What is your name and its origin?

When I went to versus last march for the first time I found out you need a name, so I half-heartedly picked “iyan”. “Iyan” in hiragana was dull so I wrote it in katakana. Eventually I plan to change it to “waruiyan”

2)what’s your 3rd strike history?
 
I actually played casually in highschool playing around with characters like Q, ken etc but I really started playing seriously only a year ago.

3)Where is your home arcade?

originally it was a small arcade called riskamu at my university but when that closed I started playing here and there at prince. nowadays I go to shibuya kaikan whenever I can.

4) How’d you start playing 3rd? I went to the arcade with a friend from my boxing club and saw a game that caught my eye and thought whoa! and started playing.

5) Who’s your main character and why?

Yang. I thought KO was so cool so I started using him. now I’m especially appealed by how yang can so simply force a mix up on every character. 6) which players do you respect/admire?
 
nuki, tominaga, sho, ko, tokura. There’s too many to count. The only person I don’t admire is zabi.

*guessing that’s a joke since him and zabi seem like buddies.

7) who are your rivals?

there’s no one in particular that I feel strongly is my rival but if I had to name some: moderu, sakurada, SHO, kubochan from mikado and gaoo. zabi also I guess.

8) Which players are you keen on now?

SHO, zabi who became meisho and sakurada. Seimitsushin and genkishin who both just changed characters. Young players which I’m a part of; KEY and kento. Also that person in shibuya named gaoo who uses yun. Kubochan who uses urien at mikado. How far will SHO go? I’m looking forward to sakurada in his first matches as chisho. When will zabi fall down in rank? KEYs getting strong when I see him play. Kento is playing seriously so he will certainly get strong.

9) any memorable matches?

the match I had with tominaga at coop cup where we both had 0 dot of health left. It was very disappointed and maybe the most I’ve felt regret. Personally I think him saying, “I have good luck” was him being a nice person.
the first time I played nuki. We played about a 100 games and I didn’t win a single one. afterwards he praised/complimented me and I felt genuinely happy about it.
kuroda during the grand finals at a tougeki qualifier. I literally couldn’t get a hit on him.

10) Is there anything you’d want changed in 3rd? I don’t have any complaints. I haven’t played it enough yet and maybe because yang can beat any character. Yangs a strong character.

11) self analysis

too much of a difference when I’m suppose to attack confidently and when I’m not suppose to
 - sometimes I miss dive kick and jump lk comes out
 -I almost never use parry on wake up
 - I don’t have crouch tech down consistent yet. - I go in and attack even it’s a situation where I don’t have to go out of my way to get in.
 - my human talent/ability is only average
 - my pace.
 - I’m not consciously thinking about the framework of being part of the enjoy playing group or seriously playing group. I enjoy matches outside of tournament play. ***
 - I like to use dudley against zabi and play recklessly.

12) what do you enjoy about 3rd strike? I like that parry is an entrance and not an escape/exit. The game showcases skill and ability - character match ups/specifics - maximum damage - mind games - parry - ground game. i also think based on the character, how they think about using parry and what they do with it is different. theres so much depth which makes it so fun. 外人の使うまことはある意味イカレてるけどイカれてるって対戦しながら感じれるのが凄いと思う。相手の気合ですら大会では動きに乗って伝わってくる。 正直他ゲーはほとんどやった事ないけど、ハマる。 13) Will you keep play 3rd? Until I stop having fun with it as a hobby theres no reason to quit. Ill strive at my own pace to make my own best style of yang. I hope the guys who have been playing 10 years+ keep playing. 14) Any last words? 気がつけばニュージェネとして名前が先行してしまいましたが、 実はパンピーに毛の生えた程度です。見かけたら気軽に入ってみてください。 3rd勢は本当にキャラが濃い人が多くて楽しいです。色んな人がいます。 また、俺が10年プレーヤーになるためにも、新規プレーヤーがたくさん 出てくる事に期待してます。読んでくれてありがとうございました。 sorry aku i need your help lol. Im getting lazy plus some of it is hard to properly grasp what theyre saying and how theyre saying it.
