Finally did anyone read this:
Panel 5 5:00PM – Third Strike Online – GGPO & Reviving a Classic
Iron Galaxy Studios CEO Dave Lang talks about reviving 3rd Strike for the Online Edition of the game and how his studio implemented the GGPO system into the classic.

I’d be curious to see what Iron Galaxy had to say for themselves and if they would just completely ignore the negative feedback/attitude from the older 3s community.

If anyone sees the panel I’d like to hear what they were say’n.

2

Someone should show up and ask them what ‘arcade perfect’ means to them

3

I guess it finished but I hoped someone asked “why DansGame?”

4

I want to ask them to give me a job because I am da bess

5

I think the panel is on Saturday.

6

“branding” apparently

7

Any of the old 3S heads practicing OE for the Capcom tourneys?

8

I’m quite curious to hear about that panel.

And if this board is any indication, most of the old 3S heads couldn’t be less excited about the Capcom tourneys, which baffles me and bums me out.

9

I think this is an archive of grand finals. It starts in the middle of the match and I’ve yet to watch it, so I’m not positive, but there ain’t much 3S in the archives so I assume this is the finale. It’s Chris G vs. Ricky Ortiz. The first bit I saw does feature Ricky going fierce on Chris’ ass at the end of a round… check it…

Edit - aaaaannnnd I didn’t post the link.

10

They just announced that they are taking feedback for a patch at UFGT.

11

What, who? Iron Galaxy? Capcom? Source?

12

I would love to help them turn 3soe into a great game!

13

I am hoping they setup a feedback forum online or something. I’m kind of shocked they decided to do this now, I wonder if it has to do with the anniversary collection…

14

I hope someone just echo’d the obvious complaints about training mode/input display, matchmaking, turning off side UI and arcade perfectness (most notably speed). I mean they could have just read any thread on the game here or anywhere else and got a laundry list of stuff that’s a really easy fix. What we’ll probably end with is some more palette swap DLC and a dubstep version of the soundtrack.

15

A feedback forum online might do more harm than good. Have you ever checked out Capcom Unity?

16

i am happy that the possibility for a patch exists, but on the other hand, i just hope they’re careful with who they listen to. a lot of the wrong people have the biggest mouths and this isn’t an opportunity that i want to see go down the drain.

17

Yeah I guess they should get 5Star but actually listen this time instead of having some random tourney or something lol.

18

If they’re taking feed back they need to fix the matchmaking and the glitches that occur OFFLINE. And maybe stabilize the netcode. I havent seen a single green png on PSN.

19

make it actually arcade perfect
get rid of the new music
get rid of the new shitty UI and achievement sidebars
get rid of the vault
fix the netcode. we’ve seen GGPO implementation in several console games and none of them are this bad.
stop matching me up against JohnPwns
input display in training mode and when watching replays so we can resolve the questions of dropped inputs offline and figure out when it drops input online

or if they actually want to put in new content and not just fix what’s wrong with the game, how about a color editor for like $5

those are my suggestions to them, how do I give these to them

A quick rundown on what needs to be improved off the top of my head.

I feel as though the gameplay speed is as close as it’s going to get to arcade.

Please!!! Fix the training mode. In regular training, the record function is useless. For parrying training, the save state and reload doesn’t even work anymore. It used to but someone felt this feature was too good and made it broken after the first patch.

Hit boxes and inputs would be awesome but I know those features are just a dream…

For online play, I’d suggest these improvements:

Ping numbers and region or country display. Give me an option to not accept red pings in my lobby.

Also please improve stability and fix all the stupid glitches. There’s no excuse for glitches in this game.

A win counter to show streaks would be really cool and maybe an option for character lock. If they are aiming to emulate the arcade experience, then there isn’t any reason to half ass it.

Make the process of the lobby quicker. It is very very very annoying. The countdown to 5 thing is unnecessary. Decrease the amount of time needed to select stages. There should only really be 8 sec max to choose a stage.

The entire lobby interface needs a facelift.

If they need space then just get rid of the tournament feature. It has long been abandoned. Same with the watch matches with friends feature.

Along with the training mode being fixed, my personal pet peeve with Online Edition is the HUD. Please give us the option to make it like the original. The way we all love it. The way we all are used to it. There was NO reason to change this. Also the sound needs to be changed to the original. Please fix this!! Uriens beeping fireball and trash can shoryus need to go!

I’m not really too interested in trials but I know a lot of people like them. I can provide numerous combos that would make great trials. I feel as though Iron Galaxy really missed the mark with the original trials. The combos should be difficult but also practical. Give me something that I can do in a real match if I’m sick enough.
