I was just trying to be nice.
I’m well aware, which is why I’d say they probably need a bit more of a nudge before they give SF4 an honest try.
I understand why old school players dislike 3s, and dislike the fanboy loyalty some of its players embody, but the community itself represents a large group of potential competitive players. If we want a bright future for SF4, I think reaching out to skeptics within our own community is the effort that will yield the best results.
correlation
also 3s players dont’ represent a group of potential competitive players mainly because:
- they have zero potential
- too dense to understand a fighting game
SF4 is it’s own game but it’s obvious it’s roots are grounded in sf2 which proves he wants sf4 to be as much of a success as sf2 was back in it’s prime. I think he incorporated the elements of 3s which he felt that fit for the core sf fans not because he wanted 3s 2.0. It was meant to be a completely different game from the start it wasn’t aimed at getting mass appeal the way sf4 was.
Where is this 50 page system mechanic guide to 3s?
:woot:
3S is a lot of fun and I really like it at the intermediate level where you see necros and uriens alongside the chun/yuns but it’s only at that high level where 2s gets gross and it becomes all about dat hit confirm.
“when we created Street Fighter III, fighting games were on the rise still. They were getting more complex, and aiming for the professional level players. We think we reached the peak with Street Fighter III.”
Personal opinions on how much everyone likes the game aside I thought it was universally known (to everyone on srk at least) that ST>3S in terms of depth.
Well if thats the case it’d be the 1st time in my life I’d cockblock. This is improbable thought, blasphemy, furthermore outrageous. That is not how men should get their fucking jollies
Nice find. I know there is that thing about Marvel, but doesn’t this belong in the SF4 forum?
As for the versus games, it seems to be getting out of hand. MKvDC, TvC, MvC3, MKvC, MKvSF, etc… Eventually they’re just going to be a team of Mugen programmers, LOL. This is all sarcasm, BTW.
His comments about SFIV being accessible are strangely enough TRUE. On my first day, I played against people who had played it more than me, but I was still able to get consecutive wins off of them. Even if the players were below my level, there is still some aspect to the game which makes it friendlier for newcomers. Maybe moves trade more or have less priority/safety? I don’t know, I could be completely wrong.
I like how the idea of a guy who can’t do a DP writing this post represents exactly what’s so funny about SRK in the first place.
btw isn’t this the same interview from a couple months ago, the way people are describing it sounds the same. brb gonna actually read it (j/k not i’m not)
He can, but he needs an xbox controller.
I’m one of those 3s-disliking old farts, but that’s a dumbass statement of the year.
;
Good players usually dominate shitty games just as much as they dominate good ones.
That said, I think a lot of the problem with Japanese fighters right now, especially the 2d ones, is that Japanese devs have got it stuck into their head that hard execution things= depth. This is why the factors in fighting games I enjoy more seem to get more and more marginalized and useless each year.
SF4 looks like a step in the opposite direction, which is one reason I really WANT this game to succeed.
Get Over This Dam 3S Talk…The Real Story Is Marvel 3…And Its Coming @ Tokyo Game Show

ima have to go with the 3s hate party on this one. simply bc if there was, waht like 6 chunlies during the top 8 ppl on evo something is wrong with that game lol
Yes please derail this thread into just trashing 3s like 25% of threads in FGD. We certainly need another person pointing out the obvious top heavy tiering of 3s LOL!!!
Its funny because everybody here hated it when I first joined… then a couple years ago it was the game everybody loved. Then that one thread where Viscant broke down his opinion on parrying changed everyone’s opinion to 3S sucks, again.
I personally rarely touch the game, save from my occasional trip to UP every other month… if that.
Question is are you elitist enough (not calling ya one lol) to limit yourself to playing just one game if both of these games were out:
Dat Tatsunoko or Dat Mahvel 3?
For me that’s a hell of a choice because I grew up on G-Force/Tekkaman as well as Marvel. I’m leaning a little towards Dat Mahvel just a titch because the hype around it would be so huge that grannies playing wii fit would drop it for this game.
To be honest, I don’t see the 3S element in SFIV at all. Reminds me more of CvS2.
Yeah there isn’t much from 3s in SF4 at all besides like Ken’s target combo, which is fine by me.
I’m telling you, we know more about game design than this game designer does. That he managed to create a really really good game is astounding (but I’m sure glad he did).
tbh i loved 3s right when i started playing fighting games
then i read viscants posts and never looked back
Someone needs to start thinking for themselves and stop making blanket statements…
I can see what Ono means. And really I think the SA is a great replacement for the parry. If the parry took meter to do, it would be so much better. Just like the alpha counters. I just wish everyone would stfu already anyone who reads these damn forums know who hates what games by this point. Just post the opinion on the article not the damn games.
