Ok, we’ll see.
Actually maybe sean isnt the worst…like his normals actually arent that bad. If he just had some worth while specials he wouldnt be such a mess. I never got why he was nerfed so drastically from 2I to 3s, like he wasnt even the best in 2I or NG.
On that note, admire his form glory:

Sean was top tier in 2i along with Akuma and Ibuki.
Ah Sask thread, never change please.
Evo, why didn’t you enter the 3rd Strike tournament at CC2011? Would have liked to see your godly footsies in person.
Any SCV players in here? Im average at it and would love some people to play with and learn.
Infil: I had to work that friday, I left for Calgary like at 6am on sat so by the time I got there it was too late. Although there always is online:)
Shane: yeah but he wasn’t the best character, and didn’t Akuma basically destroy everyone in that game thanks to his dive kick?
Seven: I think 1 guy here used to play sc games but he hasn’t posted in months. I don’t think anyone else here does, although I was wanting to see what the impression of it from the community was bstore I gave it a try…sc3 & sc4 left a bad taste.
Lol what porpose did this comment serve? Left field topic lol. This thread makes my brain hurt sometimes.
It’s too bad, because there were spots in the tournament still available Saturday at 11pm. I bet if you asked if the tournament registration was still open, they would have slotted you into one of the many byes they had. I wasn’t planning on playing in the tournament either, but I was asked if I would enter to fill the byes, so I played after all. They were actively looking for players to enter the tournament.
Also, you’ve made comments about the lag you and ShinAkuma have experienced playing 3rd Strike online, but you’re now interested in playing against me in an online match to show footsies skills? Don’t really get it. :\
Ok so I beat you 15-2, (with multiple perfects lol) very impressive.
It was with Sean and I’m happy i got those 2 wins, my character doesn’t have the broken hurricane kick:)
I’ll do way better next time, I’ll pick Ryu…Sean has no reliable specials even with his ex stuff.
Well it’s a good thing I didn’t destroy Ryu to end off the set…
Playing a worse or lesser character proves nothing. Just looks like another excuse regardless if you win or lose.
Infil: Well we dont have much alternatives unless I drive out to calgary every weekend, online it is!
Hey it was 1 match with ryu so its cool, Ill get my groove back and win next time. The game is a lot faster then i remember, and jabs suck and for some reason akuma’s hurricanes kick can beat ex moves…
2 actually and I destroyed you both times.
That’s because you think Xbox underwater 3s was legit.
Ill get you back for all of them trust me:)
Nah Ive just been on a diet of SF4 for the last 2 years. When I played HDR a year ago the game felt like light speed to me, and now 3s feels like its ice or something…so smooth by comparison to SF4.
I need to familiarize myself with a lot of 3s mechanics again, the throws, the normals, the fact that the game has block stun so the pressure means something. Ill re-learn it quick…by next set I know for a fact Ill be able to get at least 5 wins with ryu and make it more even handed.
Not really up for playing online. Either I’ll win and you’ll blame the lag, or I’ll lose and you’ll claim it was perfect conditions, I should have been able to adapt, or I lost to your footsies.
The first time I played “serious” 3rd Strike in a long time was at CC, and I did okay, but most of the time I play now I just play alts and/or try to parry everything. Game’s more fun when you don’t have something to prove every time you play.
Would still like to see some footage of these footsies, though. Sounds like your Sean really was as impressive as advertised!
Lag is lag, it happens online and I know that already coming into it. Shane won fair and square and besides, im not from the community that goes into convulsions when I lose so if you win you win. Unless the game is skipping massively or like every attack has a delay on it then I dont see any reason why it would be a problem.
This isnt"serious"either as im sure none of us will be planning to main 3s in the near future. To be honest getting serious in 3s would require a lot more dedication then just picking up sean randomly after a 4 month absence so it isnt like Id be coming into the games with this super serious"ahhh I gotta win"mindset.
No man it’s super serious.
I’M THE BEST!
You wish…wait till I level up my ryu!
Although technically isnt akuma the best character in the game if his HP was normal?
Any character could become top tier with enough of a health increase.
