How would you re-balance Third Strike?

The only improvement I want is a Super Saiyan Gouki palette

Also Tribes is a dope game

No these are not assumptions but my actual experience of living and playing a lot in japan/getting to know many players.

Believe it or not a huge majority of dedicated 3s players think it is perfect and don’t want to see any “improvements”.

“Buff buff nerf nerf nerf nerf!” This is a new thing due to all the new sf4 players.

You guys can dilly dally all you want on forums about rebalances and that’s cool. Maybe we can start throwing system direction tourneys. Or how about no chip damage tourneys. That shit is cheap. Gill only?

The only reason I posted in this mickey mouse thread is to answer the Japanese player question. Please continue your rebalance posts.

Damnit, Ryan, don’t encourage them.

You all fucked up when you looked at a tier chart and believed it to be more than just the ramblings of a data junkie. How can you prove and apple is better than an orange?

wtf

had to do it, the original wtf made me crack up

Honestly the game is GREAT and is my favorite fighting game of all time.

But you have to be an idiot to say that it doesnt need some better balancing. Especially to appeal to a 2010 audience.
Im sure Capcom will have the option of playing a remixed version or not.
But even so. Like I said the game’s gameplay is Perfect. But Balance wise. Not so much…

I hate SFIV and I’ve been thinking of ways to rebalance this game before I even knew IV was coming out.

And Japanese players are the BIGGEST tier whores. So of course they dont want it to change.

You have to be an idiot to say that it does need some better balancing.

No it has nothing to do with “tier whore”. I don’t even understand what that phrase means.

If you read my earlier post you’d see it has more to do with them not thinking anything different from top tier and low tier. They look passed the characters and instead look at the actual players. (fucking dumb idea, right?) lol

The fuck…

Bull shit have you read the articles on Jap players. They aint switchin to Fei Long for SSFIVAE because of that new alternate.

But it DOES need new balancing. Chun Li is an over powered bitch. I hate having to try so damn hard to beat people with Sean. And there’s other little bullshit things here and there.

Either way. Opinions Opinions.

I’m sorry I don’t follow ssf4.

What chun li players do you play against that make her so overpowered? Secret top Nuki jr. in Chandler? I’ll have to hit up my 3s buddies I’m az. I’m sure they’d be down to travel and play.

Sean is a joke character. He’s not meant to be good.

I didn’t think any pro-balancers would ACTUALLY be stupid enough to say this out loud.

leave the game as is. throw in some new music. the scene will be reunited. i have a question however. please only respond if you are truly a dedicated 3s player.

for some reason i suspect that while a perfect port of the game will be left in tact, the graphics won’t. if i call correctly, i remember one of the developers saying something about how they have to appeal to a new crowd. think about it. from a business standpoint, what good would it do them to just sell a 1999 game. they have to bring a new market to buy this game, and how does one do that? u make the game look nice. so maybe we’ll see the same arcade 3s that we all love but tuned up someway visually. who knows. as long as they leave the game intact. how would you guys feel about taht? oh yea and add that 2i and ng music in. those soundtracks were dope.

As long as the grimy atmosphere of 3S is preserved in the ‘updated’ style and didn’t look half-assed (cough HDR), I could definitely hack that.

I can think of only like three matchups where she completely dominates, but everyone else has a fighting chance against her. Other characters have completely lop-sided matchups in their favor as well, I don’t see why Chun is the only one that should be toned down.

In fact, it took incredibly solid play from guys like Nuki and MOV to make the Chun vs Yun match dead even(before then it was 7:3 Yun’s favor), and that was only four years ago.

And yes, tier-whoring does exist in 3rd Strike, but honestly that can only take you so far. MOV isn’t arguably the best player in the world just because he uses Chun. In fact, he puts in the time and effort as if he mains Sean or something.

EDIT:

In my opinion, the game doesn’t LOOK like an 11 year old game, it just so happens that it is. The graphics I don’t think need to be touched except to fit them on an HDTV or something. I suspect they’ll throw in some easter eggs or extra features, like as you mentioned the NG/2I stages and music.

Also a training mode that’s similar to SF4 or the VF series would be nice. I honestly do not want the gameplay to be rebalanced to cater to new audiences, but I still do want to see them try to get the new players get used to the game.

Last but not least, the online features. If they want this game to not only bring in new players and also have lasting power, they need to make this the most enjoyable experience more than anything else. I can’t really imagine what they’ll be adding, but if they go with a traditional VF-style danisen ranking system for starters then that’d be pretty neat.

Bells and whistles may really be what the game needs. The gameplay itself is awesome and satisfactory enough, but yeah, it never really had any of the features that the Alpha3 or Guilty Gear console releases had. Besides that, I don’t think the game needs any real changes. Just additions.

Agreed. Like, in that character vs. character team tourney, didn’t the Dudley team take it all? Oh, wait, Chun-Li didn’t take it? Yun didn’t take it?

Fuck the haters. Put the time and effort in to learn the game and learn a character. Stop asking for handouts like you’re a hobo at a gas station.

apples ARE better than oranges, they make a more delicious juice AND pie

7-3 matchup in favor of apples

Apples also have better color variety. When you see a green orange, you gotta throw it away.

watch QI from bbc and then revise that statement.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck did not see that coming. I have just been double perfeded

Lot more vitamins in orange.
Sean eating an orange definitely crush a chun with an apple.
This is the kind of balance this game needs, giving real oranges to bad players to make them better.
