Before you come on these boards to complain about Chun/Yun/Ken/Makoto or any other character that bodied you where you felt so completely hopeless that you decided to take your frustration to the interwebz where your voice would be heard, let me stop you.
You’re playing a fighting game, this means that theres a cast of different characters with different moves and special abilities. Having a diverse cast with a unique set of skills insures that there is no true balance, if you’re looking for balance I’d suggest playing an fps.
Coming on here and telling everybody about something thats been around for 10 years isn’t going to get you or our scene anywhere. If you’re having trouble with a matchup, post about it and I promise you’ll get some helpful responses from players. We all want new blood that dig the game, just don’t be a douche bag about learning it.

3s honestly is stereotyped in the US. It’s kind of the sad truth because it turns allot of people away from the game before they even try it for themselves.
“Aww fuck 3s, you just guess and win” …
“haha the game is so unbalanced, only chun yun all day”… ect ect
Yes there will be players that genuinely guess, but theres a difference in fighting a player that guesses in the jungle and someone who uses educated guesses.
For example, you realize that whenever you knock down your opponent he hits cr.jab on wake up to stop you from getting close to throw, on your next knock down you walk up and down parry the cr.jab. That “guess” is an educated guess because you read the players tendencies also it’s relatively safe because you’re only tapping down really quick and going back to block. This would be called “fishing”, that is why you see twitching all the time in 3s because you’re covering ground while making it hard for your opponent to hit a button.
You will see a load of CHun/Yun on Youtube because some of the best 3s players in the scene use them.
This is based on Youtube results
MOV/Nuki/Rikimaru/Justin Wong (Chun), and Mester/K.O/Nitto/Pyrolee.
Almost all of those players are fighting game legends, in 3s and in fighting games ingeneral. It’s not like some random no name is beasting everybody with top tier. It also doesn’t help that the Daigo parry video showcased Justin Wong being lame with Chun, solidifying to outsiders that she is a “lame” character that turtles all day and spams cr.mk.
When you actually play though, the first thing you’ll notice is that Yun is hard, and while Chun may seem simple, you’ll be in for a rude awakening when you fight someone who knows how to fight her.
3s is amazing, if you don’t like it, then don’t play it. You wont be missed. :encore: :encore:
this was rushed, will add more later to try and make this more constructive
