3rd iteration of 3s would be the Dreamcast versions - contrary to the popular belief that it was 2nd version with input lag, it had other differences which where supposed to be balance tweaks. Most prominent that I recall where Genei-jin palms doing less damage and Dudley’s LP MGB hitbox being different not allowing some juggles
KURODA IS OUR LAST HOPE

I forget which exactly, but CvS2 and MvC2 definitely came out after it…
Then there was that 3D game…
And Capcom Fighting Jam…
But that’s not saying much after CvS2, honestly…
Hyper Anniversary and Hyper Alpha count?
You guys, would have like a 4th iteration instead of sf4 like it was expected? Something with older characters etc…
From a commercial stand point SF4 had to happen with a return of the original cast. Largely because Capcom completely fucked up the SF3 series’ promotion and the casuals had no idea that an SF3 came out. If the original plan of an SF4 with the 3S characters with 3D models happened, I don’t think it would’ve been as successful regardless of the mechanics. 3S players take offense to SF4 not because it lacks parries but because it was so dumbed down compared to nearly all fighters that came before it.
I’d like to see the 3S cast featured in more games because they’re diverse, unique, and are not lazily made stereotypes. But at the same time I’m glad that Capcom hasn’t run them into the ground (yet). Partially why I hate the SF2 cast is that not only are they pretty bland characters but why do they have to be featured in almost everything and play almost exactly the same every time? Plus it doesn’t help that the shoto’s were designed to be easy pick up and play characters and scrubs use them 99.9% of the time.
I’d like to see most of the 3S cast return in an SF5 or spin off game that isn’t dumbed down and features comeback mechanics.
ive been praying to god to just see Urien in 3d or even Alex and Q
I agree with you, unless about SF2’s cast, i dont think characters from it are “bland” but yes, 3S’s cast is awesome, though some people find it weirdo or something.
All new fighting games to coming will be similar to sf4 : designed for everyone with of course a comeback mechanic. Sf4 bored me hardly, but i don’t think Sfxt sucks like all people like to think that, it is wonky but not that bad, actually, i think it has some good things.
I would love to see Necro/Q/Oro etc… back on a new game though.
tvc?
yes,please . i want to see a 3d necro
because ibuki,dudley and in particular makoto are so handsomely crafted @ IV series
??..!
let’s take a “state of the art” animated sprite and turn him / her into…well,shit
and don’t get me started about using 3d characters in a 2d fighting game
it doesn’t work
stupid floaty jumps , nonsensical cross-ups etc etc
if i had all the money in the world,i would do many things
one of them : force capcom to re-release third strike as it was / is
same resolution,characters,cps III rev A etc etc
the only thing i would add is support for the card system / nesica / whatever
and,no,no stupid extra costumes and objects to “customize” the characters é_é
usually “modern” games / nesica games are 100 ¥ but fuck that
third strike will still cost 50
and fuck HEY and all those places that charge 100 but it’s best of 5 rounds
because,yes,cps III are cool but super delicate / problematic
i had 2 in 1997 with new gen and they started having problems after only a couple of weeks / months
that’s probably one of the reasons why i stopped caring about the III series back then and went right back to my snk brawlers _\
This has gotten pretty off topic at this point but if I can build on this idea:
If I had a million dollars not only would I host a helluva coke party. I would hire a programmer to take a look at the 3S rom and design a version of Kaillera or a custom-built roll back netcode and make it as close as arcade perfect as possible on Final Burn Alpha. That would include a custom FBA that runs the game as it did in the arcade. Then possibly make a tool that makes custom color edits easy to set up and get a good host site up and going.
I would think it’s possible. I guarantee you if Ponder or Damdai were 3S players instead of ST we would’ve gotten a no bullshit online version of 3S.
