So...SF3 was considered a failure...what are some reasons that might be so?

my point exactly.

capcom should called that game “Street Fighter 3: PARRYSPAM!”

assortment of winning combos

The Parry System ending the ridiculous spamming of fireballs. The Parry gets alot of hate because it nullified the most iconic and easiest to use move in street fighter . People say parrying has no risk that is not true. If you mess up on Parrying a fireball you get damage, mess up parrying a super you get lots of damage. The parry was a good invention since many of the cast didn’t have projectiles and many moves relied on clearing space.

Tell that to…

I don’t care about 3S. I think the game sucks.

You said you were OG. You said aren’t some scrub. Yet, you didn’t know the name of that move which is basic SF terminology. Yeah, universal overhead is 3S specific, but overhead isn’t. OH YEAH. GEEK MODE ACTIVATE.

One of the best at SF in the country. lol. troll harder.

Turbo SNES != Turbo Arcade. So what, you played Hyper? Championship?

Fuck a CvS2. Game sucks too.

they are not useless. they are for, as legendary game designer david sirlin would say, mind games. rock on

fallingrdge

look dude…i;m not gonna debate with you about my skills or your skills or anybodys skills.

i said i WAS nice…back in d day. i’m waaaay rusty now.

my point is that i 'm not a johnny come lately to the fighting game genre…or to the SF series, thats all.

like i said…i’ve playing fightin games since street fighter 1,…so if i were you i wouldnt be so quick to assume im some novice to the game.

cuz if you could actually think or assume that i’m not OG…when i been playin SF since before most of the people at these forums were even born…

then you must be delusional.
or retarded.

think about it. do u really in your heart believe i’m not an expert player? or,…at least, was once, a long time ago.

think about it.

my grey nuthair has got more expertize in sf playin than most of these wannabees…
be serious dude.
stop posin.

btw, what game r u playin, to call cvssnk2 a sucky game?
albeit,…its not the greatest game around…but its still waaaay better than sf3.

:zzz:

I like CvS2, but c’mon… turtle ALL DAY!

Game gets hella boring sometimes.

In 3S, you have Chun mirrors with c.mk footsie matches, but at least they’re doing SOMETHING. :lol:

You should be a comedian you know ? I think that compared to you…Daigo is a noob.

Just kidding, don’t get it like an offense.

If this kid is over the age of 13 I would be totally shocked.

Let the haters hate while we ignore them and teach the ignorant ones the ways of the true fighting gem 3S.

none taken.

like i said…i knew writing that sf3 failed cuz it…and i’ll use someone’s description of AH2’s ps2 port at the snk forums, “shitastic”…that i would get a fiery and passionate response…

little that i knew, that response, would be more fiery than dahlsim’s funky breath.

but dats cool fellas. just goes to sho our luv/hate relationship with capcom/snk/examu/arc systems works/etc…n all d rest.

glad i woke some people up . things were getting to timid in this wonderful mo fo lounge.

yeah,…i know people r gonna defend anything capcomy here…but pleaze people…lets call it like it is.

sf3…just wasnt all that.

there, i said it.

that shit makes black belt from the sega master system look like a f’in masterpiece.

I totally agree with you.

34yo

hence.

the grey nuthair.

well. how long before everyone here gets their torches n pitchforks n decides to burn me at the stake for committing blasphemy in knocking n badmouthin SF3…

makoto n ibuki is the ONLY thing that saved that game from being a total n complete disaster. those two characters were the only thing good about that disc.

2 immaculate flowers that somehow sprouted from a smokin, stinkin, smellin, stankin, fly ridden pile of manure called sf3.

which is exactly why they were put into ssf4…n not some of those other loser characters that were just stupid…oh n dudley…but whatever.

p.s.

the street fighter alpha(zero) anthology disc beats sf3 3rd strike compilation by a million!
so does that other capcom gem…vampire darkstalkers collection.

now THATS money well spent.

unlike my feeling after getting sf3 ps2 game.

Look man here nothing is personal, this ain’t real life, this is a video game, I don’t know what is this about because everyone have different opinions.

Keep it cool.

This man speaketh the truth. I hate SFIV, but others love it, I love 3S, but others hate it, so play what YOU like and that’s it. No need to be a nazi about it. I’m trying ot get better. Everyone has their own opinions, what makes the world go round.

SF3 sucked so bad, that at first my team was gonna use SF3 style sprites for our game, but we changed our mind and decided on KOF XII style sprites. SF3 just looked way too cartoony looking, plus the parry system as nice as it was, wasn’t nearly as well done as the parry system in games like Melty Blood or Akatsuki Blitzkampf. SF fans were right to avid SF3, it taught Capcom a valuable lesson, and it made SF4 all the better. All they gotta do is axe hakan and sakura and dan, and SSF4 will be amazing.

haha Axl is trolling everyone in this thread.

haha WOW man!

They’re pretty bad all around in SF3 series. But a) they would still be bad even without parries (just not AS bad), and b) almost all special moves in SF3 series are bad.

Here’s some more fuel for the fire: I was digging through Capcom’s JPN PS2 sales data from this site, and I was amused/horrified to find out that Capcom Fighting Jam sold more copies than 3S did. Fucking LOL.

And on a somewhat unrelated note, you know what SNK’s best selling PS2 title in JPN is (and probably their best selling title since the PSX/Dreamcast days)? SNK vs. Capcom Chaos!
