I kind of just gave up cause Q was the only character I liked, and hes not very good. I should have said ST remix. Also dont really care that i lose to top tiers its just id rather not deal with chun and yun players.
And people STILL bitch about Characters.
yeah Q is def pretty hard. a lot of people like his character design but then find he’s a tough first character. I have a couple friends who quit 3s after trying OE. started with Q, lost a bunch, hated the game. I’ve seen it and understand it.
one thing I’ve always thought was weird is that strong dedicated Chun and Yun players don’t play much on XBL. actually it’s kind of funny, because when people complain about characters in 3s it’s usually Chun and Yun, sometimes Ken. and if they’re in the know they’ll complain about Makoto too. and XBL at least is pretty lacking on three of those four. lots of shotos, fair amount of everyone else. I see more Remy and Hugo online than Chun and Yun by a factor of ten. which is crazy to me.
I feel that 3s has the most fair of the top tier characters. as in… if you lose to them, you basically feel like you deserved it. or that you need to switch characters I guess haha.
Chun - most of her shit can be counterpoked and she sucks once she’s knocked down in the corner without meter. you can take round 1 before she ever gets a bar. win the footsies battle, knock her down, play your oki games.
Ken - pretty similar to Chun but he can jump better so you have to be ready for a more variable game. and he has an uppercut, that’s always nice.
Yun - Genei Jin sucks the first 500 times you lose to it but you figure it out over time. these days if I lose to a Yun player I feel they are just better players than me on the whole.
Makoto - very strong when she gets on top of you but she has to earn her way in. you can stop raw dashes and jump ins on reaction with uppercuts, certain pokes, etc. if you have a good neutral game she’ll never be able to get started.
as a general common thread… I think all those characters have to earn their damage. just my opinion of course, and that may just be me liking 3s the most talking. but I don’t mind playing 3s top tiers against any of my characters, and I think playing against SF4 Seth and ST Claw is really unpleasant.
IMO, tiers in 3rd Strike, for the most part only matter at high levels. At mid-level play, the mechanics are enough to make up for any differences in tier placement.
This is exactly why I prefer SFXT to sf4. Characters feel strong.
Amen to this.
looking at your avatar and the characters you chose, I don’t think you’re kidding anybody with that statement

certainly not! I actually laugh with all thats going on with that game! Like watching a shonen parody (with much better voice actors this time)
the avatar is from an obscure Sega CD/Mega Drive fighter, called Paws of Fury. I’ve chosen her for the background info mainly.
You could just be bad at the game.
SF X T gets alot of hate. But for the most part they fixed the game and it looks pretty fun/good now. Here’s hoping it gets another go at a tournament level.
And I dont know why they made Chuns voice so fucking annoying in 3rd strike, her voice makes my ears bleed
When I first started getting into 3rd Strike by watching videos, it took me a while to get used to Chun’s KO cry. It was so… not like her lol.
FUCK jon talbain- I beat ggpo players by literally just jumping up and down with MK/HK. I don’t even practice with that nigga
FUCK BBhood. Just fuck you
I dislike Qbee. I mained her for a while. I remember ducking the dumbest shit. I’ve ducked shoryus, grabs, CROUCHING NORMALS. Once i got a hit it was just mash trijumps, mix with lows. Game. Sometimes i accidentally crossup with a trijump. She does mixups for you.
<3 jedah! Coolest looking. Unique moveset. interesting playstyle. Forces you to drastically improve your neutral if you want to be successful. Success with jedah means you have improved as an fg player overall. Sucsess with Talbain just means ur a faggot.
You are thinking of Twelve.
last 3rd strike tournament i went to was like 6 or 7 years a ago got 2nd place. ST got 1st with M bison, CvS2 1st with vega, blanka, iroi. You can troll all you want but look at the tournament results since 3rd strike has been out, Chun and Yun have won more then any character besides Ken. Japan is a little different, but most people in the US cant play on japans level in 3rd strike. The only characters i hate in cvs2 are fucking sakura players, everyone plays her the same way. ST i think thats why I hated Ryu players, they all do the same thing with Ryu. Alex is the only Ryu player I could watch in ST
I hate Seth I hate everything about him an I HOPE he will NEVER appear in another SF game
I don’t disagree with this. most fans of the game will say the same. but like d3v said it ends up not mattering so much at lower levels, because at that point you can make the skill gap and overcome the tiers with superior play. mid level 3s it is easy to overcome bad matchups compared to other games IMO.
well how come necros and Qs dont win as much as chun and yun and ken then?
in America I think it’s because the best players pick the best characters. “pick a top tier” is long ingrained in our mentality. if it was really a direct correlation between tiers and results we’d be seeing just as much Makoto success as Ken. but we don’t because a lot less people pick her.
in Japan it’s because they’re playing at the highest level. but even then you see a lot of character diversity in top 32s or Danisen rankings or whatever metric you want to use.
ya thats why when i saw guys from japan destroy americans with urien and makoto. Even beat other guys from japan with mid tiers, mostly I was thinking these guys are on a whole other level, which i dont think americans can reach
I’m not trolling. But the 3s tier list thing has been dead for a long time. It makes no sense to complain about them now. 3s is a great game. It’s not boring and the sprites STILL look beautiful and the music? Don’t even get started on its glorious soundtrack. And you complain about people playing certain characters a certain way. Why would you not play to your characters strengths? Thats like me saying “Hmm I want to play a turtle-y defensive Makoto” it wouldn’t make sense. That’s a borderline scrubquote there man. For serious.
