Hi

I?m not new to SF so I guess this is almost embarrassing-but I must know. What is the point of just plain crouching? Does it avoid throws unlike cr guard or can you duck under some high attacks? Or can you not cr guard upon wakeup? That is does it take a second and people take advantage of it?

I ask because in matches and combo vids the player sometimes gets hits by non-guard disabling moves whilst crouching and cr crouching would have blocked the move. For instance Remy close mp. I don understand why people would ever cr over crouch guard? All help appreciated.

what about parry install …? a term i use it if i install parry command before the move.
some moves to me is suitable to this technique as example in ryu
far mk if the ppl with ken did a jap dp ryu parry it .

Is there an article to David sirlin explain why did he dose not like 3s…?

Doses capcom think that the game is balanced so they did not establish a more balanced version…??
i did not say the is unbalanced but when i see only yun.chun.ken in tournaments i feel sick.:shake:

Hi all I’m new to this game, and just wondering about the online community for XBL. Do alot of people play on it or not? And are there any players here in Georgia (U.S.)?

And do alot of people play this game offline? Like I know it’s at EVO, but is it as big as I have heard?

Actually…for whatever reason…there’s a lot of people in the South that like 3rd Strike. 3rd Strike always gets big 100 + turnouts at Final Round (regional tourney event in Atlanta Georgia every March). People still play on Xbox Live but not as much as before. Now that you can basically play 3rd Strike online for virtually no money (don’t even have to pay for the game) with your PC…that’s what more people are doing now.

I’d like some tips on how to get close enough to actually be able to do combos and crap, especially on runaway players. Friend of mine plays Gouki, runs like a little bitch all day.

I dont like turtling myself. Playing Yang and Ken

Somebody should make a new FAQ for new players. The first post is empty except for a tier list (a virtually useless thing for a new player). How many new people would even want to read past the first post in something called “New Player FAQ / Directions / START HERE?” Start where? The third page? And videos about parrying everything and ground crossups has barely any value at all for someone who’s just starting.

If a new one were to be made, what should be included? Is there a video about spacing, controlling your opponent, reacting appropriately, evaluating risk, punishing whiffs, not being random, using common sense, etc. that can be referenced?

That’s why I jammed everything I know into my first post in my LB2 topic. Gbursine did the same thing with his Vampire Savior one. Dunno why nobody else has gone that route. It’s takes too long to sift through dozens of pages for information even if you do use the search function.

Something I try sometimes (even now) is arrograntly trying to land a move on someone repeatedly even though they won’t let me. For example, lets say I want to walk up to someone with Ken and just do a light dragon. The learning curve is getting around all the counters and stuff that the opponent is doing to stop me from doing that dragon. Like maybe they’ll start out with max range sweep. So first I have to learn to bait or parry that. Once thats done, they might start throwing out high pokes once I get past their max sweep range. So then I might try and high parry or counter poke to stop them. And so on and so on. Granted - if your opponent is good you’ll most probably NEVER get that dragon, but you’ve learnt A LOT about the system mechanics while trying to land it.

This sort of thing mainly followed on from my endless attempts to land Raging Demons on people. I’ve learnt so many OTHER things while trying to get that, I hardly bother with the actual demons anymore - I just use the fear of it to bait out all the counter pokes or jump away attempts.

You have no idea how much I love this post

May someone please explain what Option Select is? Is it some kind of parry or tech throw or something? I’m not clear on that. Thanks.

[Henaki]

theres a bunch of option selects in 3s, the most common is low tech which is crouching LP+LK, if they throw you, you get a throw tech, if not you get crouching jab.

[Acer1236]

Can someone refresh me on the mechanics of parrying? I forgot the frame-windows on blue and red and the nuances behind the system. There was a post that covered the windows for a tap and sloppy parrying and stuff but I can’t find it.

[Eckostyle]

Is rushdown a matter of confidence, or formula?

I dropped playing Chun and I’ve been picking up Ken(again), but damn, I still cant help but turtle/poke most of the time and play super conservatively, in which I end up getting rushed down.

What are Tourny Settings in terms of System Direction? I’m pretty sure they’re the “normal” and not original. Is this correct?

I am also wondering about this.

[Gaijinblaze]

He had it right. System direction is never tampered with in tournaments. The developers did a poor job of naming the settings since normal and original sound like the same thing, but normal is what you want.

The game’s main option menu is fine on its default settings, too.

Thanks for the info man.
