Am I the only one that prefers the presentation of SF3:NG to Third Strike?

Ya know MvC may not have as many characters, it may not be as graphically
stylish, IT MAY NOT EVEN HAVE AKUMA, but MvC still has that classic gaming feel
to it that MvC2 will never have. It has that nice comic book look to it, sort’ve
even reminds me of an older fighting game (XvSF). I don’t know, I might be
crazy, what do u guys think here at Shoryuken.com, I’m new by the way.

That post is so goddamn Gaia that I want to put a hat on my avatar.

I hate a game where the top tiers are Fun and Fun, KEN YOU BELIEVE IT?

NG had fucking SICK vs screen style and music.

But that was it.

3S is better in every other aspect.

circle_masher · 2012-12-18T03:22:19.000Z

Alpha 1 here! Classic!

Just expand the roster to include Alpha 3’s, and add some of the more notable stages & tracks over from A2 & A3.

Every single Alpha game had a disgustingly bad presentation and music. Nothing is “notable” except in its shittiness.

TheMeth90 · 2012-12-18T05:23:46.000Z

3S has very simple font for character’s names on VS and Select screens, but I think it suits the game’s theme. Music is better in 3S and stages are awesome in both games. Bear on Ryu’s NG stage is badass.
I read few times that when NG came out it became boring very fast, and that must be true. Game’s system is too simple, but it does have potential for combo video. 2nd Impact introduced much better system.

What has changed so much in the game system between each version?

@“TheMeth90 Fuck Cammy.”

Parrying was different. In one version (or both NG and 2i?) I believe there was no Red Parry. There might not even be, parry and also still be able to chose to block, so you have to full parry everything that is a multi hit move. The direction to parry was different, making it very strange in the air. Then on a successful air parry, your character also stays in the air, in like a pinball bounce. Try to find some combo videos that showcase this kind of idea. Sonic Hurricane/ComboVid.com via Maj may have some as recent as a year or 2 years ago.

The game wasn’t as solid with controls in some other areas as well, but I’ve only played it a few times on emu years ago like Dander.

pherai · 2012-12-18T05:54:57.000Z

the air parry was strange because parrying down and forward were both valid in the air, but the movement of the character changed after the parry depending on what kind of parry it was.

there were also no 2 button throws or 2 button UOH’s until 3s.

strange bugs existed too. 1p builds meter faster than 2p. sean builds meter faster than other characters.

I had 2 meatball subs this weekend!

WTF-AKUMA-HAX · 2012-12-18T06:02:16.000Z

“Subway” version of things are like lower tier or whatever though, right?

Subway Tournament.
Subway Cops.

Yeah that one guy was tiny, trying to intimidate by crossing his arms. I want to know when Ralph cussed them out! Maybe after we left.

Crazy guy, I played NG at Fiesta Freddy’s and 2I at Interface.

edit: Not Fiesta Freddies. It was Peter Piper Pizza.

pherai · 2012-12-18T08:30:31.000Z

lol I forgot interface had 2I. iirc only 1p worked

WTF-AKUMA-HAX · 2012-12-18T08:41:30.000Z

the years ago part like Dander

not yeah that was going to be confusing I knew and wrote it that way anyway. Wrote this this way anyway! I’m warming up food. not a toasted sub.

You sir have no taste. A1 and somewhat A2(A3 bit of a departure…the ISM’s in particular was overkill), had awesome music, artstyle, announcer VAs, character designs, presentation, gameplay, etc.

Gold. Still my favorite of the SF series.

Gaiaonline. Don’t google it. You’ll just feel bad.
