for gary…scroll to bisons part](ā€˜http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELuASWW4LQo&feature=related’)

dam, the pc guys always gotta mess around with the game.
But yea, i actually am more interested in playing 3rd strike online then sf x T
i played it yesterday for a little bit on the csp3 emulator (or whatever its called) and it seems
more fast-paced then sf 4 ( i guess that is obvious to most sf players )

Man at 1:22…that Bison smile is waaaaay more menacing and freaky looking than bison’s current smile.

You will enjoy 3rd strike until you play people that have played it before, only to realize you are 10 years too late on that game and you will never be better than current players hahaha. Fun game though for sure, but it literally is past its prime and your SF3 scene will be similar to that of MK9 in terms of competition in the area (except your competition will have been playing it for 10 years already lol). Don’t rule out SF x T though…the Hollywood Undead music in the trailers was enough to make me hype for it.

Also Scott likes Poison Trannies…just saying.

Also how the fuck do you come on here as Waterloo’s premiere MK9 guy and NOT have something to say about Freddy Krueger…

He knows if he did, I would rip him for that ridiculous character being included and thus any argument he ever had about mk9 being better then ae or mvc is now gone.

BTW, apparently poison is pre-op in this game, so she is considered a girl.

Ah so you looked into it I see.

Stay classy Scott.

pre-op = girl? does that mean poison started as a girl then had a dick transplant?

i think thats actually the case…she changed into a dude…either way, shes a chick in this game

Well here is my opinion on Freddy being in Mk

BEST THING EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
yea thats right , i was so happy when i saw this.

I know alot of people in the mk forums are upset over this. But honestly , the 3d characters they wanted in mk are not memorable.
Seriously, I don’t care about the 3d mk characters, the games sucked imo for a competivitve level and they got kenshi, who i don’t really care about.I could get into more detail about 3d mk but im sure you guys don’t care.
They bitch about Kruger but seem okay with making another pointless female ninja who is CLEARLY made for eye-candy based off some stupid glitch in mk2.
Freddy fits the mk atmosphere fine. Honestly this is great imo. So pleased they didnt pick some random 3d mk , rather have the joker honestly. And after all the capcom vs (insert random ass franchise here) im sure i can still defend this game against mvc3, regardless if they fix the X-Factor

In regards to rob’s comment. I would like to make a small but related argument against playing people of high experience

In umk3 there have been people who have played the game for several years but still got beat in tournaments by people who only played the game for a year or two.
The reason i feel for this is that all the information about the game is out now, there is a certain limit of knowledge to be gain until all that is left is just how you play and how good you are at reading people. Of course mk3 is a much simpler game then 3rd strike. But i personally feel it is possible to get to a good level in the game and compete with these people due to the amount of knowledge already out on the game. The biggest hindering would be the lack of competition around Waterloo and experience. I know it definitely won’t be easy but a guy can try can’t he. I don’t mind losing in a sf game cause i know im not use to the system (Mk is a different story for sure), I lost alot in umk3 before i got really good at it.

Just some food for thought, I appreciate your suggestion rob on me and sf3 and probably will take you up on it since I still want to play mk9 alot.

3S is a lot different. Although there is a great deal of knowledge to be learned in 3S that is often overwhelming to newer players, yes it can be learned. However 3S is odd in that there is a distinct feel of the game that you have to become accustomed to. You will feel it yourself when you play it. I compare your UMK3 example closer to Super Turbo. ST is a game where a newer player can get really good fast if they put in the time to learn the zoning and execution of the game. But 3S is a game where experience matter most. The parry system throws off the conventional feel of a fighter and you have to acquire like a 6th sense for it that only develops over time as you start to figure when parrying can be used at safe times, even if the parry is unnecessary. Plus the new games of today kinda spoil fighting gamers today as execution is way easier, even on most of hard stuff. Your biggest obsticles at the start will be learning to hit confirm, parrying, and character specifics, things guys like Samir and C-Royd and other big 3S players in the GTA can do in their sleep. Like I hope you and more people pick up the game and get really good at it, but realistically to get high level at 3S, you will have to drop all games and play them casually. I’ve put a lot into 3S and I’ve gotten decent at it over the years, but just take a trip to lovegety or get on gppo and play some of the great players and the gap is just so overwhelming. Love the game to death though.

actually waterloo ā€œhadā€ some of the best 3rd strike players in ontario, so competition wouldnt be a problem. Knowledge is great and all but i think your in for a bit of a surprise as to how much time and effort it takes to be decent at 3s. Then again im speaking from a very limited amount of experience with the game so i could be wrong. Either way, i plan on trying to learn it too.

I went back to MvC2 to learn doom/strider. we’ll see how this goes.
I used to play 3S a lot, but never competitively.
Seeing Freddy Kruger in a game reminds me of Choi from KOF.
I just like how Poison is actually playable for once whether he/she be a tranny.
Fighting Games for the next few years are gonna be awesome!

Rock priority and chip damage so gawdlike!
…not the same in MvC3 :frowning:

Its completely different. Orbs dont chip now and since pushingblocking is diff its going to be a lot harder to stay in i think. A longer assist like drones, cold star or something might have a better application. All theory at this point though
