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

SF sucked after SF2. Although alpha series had good gameplay, it used shitty cartoony style sprites, unlike the realistic and gritty SF2 sprites. Then SF3 used some weird ass overly exaggerated cartoon style, which again, no where near as good as classic SF2 sprites. Colors didn’t even make fucking sense, like why did chars have odd hues of other colors on their fucking clothes? It’s not like the game had dynamic lighting or some shit, so wtf?

Lastly, SF4 used 3d models. This could have been fucking awesome, since the game could have looked like Tekken 6 but been on a 2d plane. Instead it looked more like ass and anal waste, and the characters had fucking gorilla faces(ie. Ken and Ryu). Then they added shit chars like sakura dan and hakan, and it was gg.

:pray::pray::pray: Totally totally agree…you said it.

There’s a few of us nestled here in Pittsburgh now since I have a decent laptop to run emulators.

Rock on, brother! and look at this sweetness-

Nice !

I really, really, REALLY wanna get my hands on 3rd strike and alpha 3 and play it on my ps2 or ps3 but problem is i wouldn’t know where to begin looking for 3rd strike and i want to play the FULL alpha 3 game and the one in alpha collection on ps2 is just the arcade version. If anyone knows how i could burn the games on cd and play them on ps3 somehow or just where i could pick up copies of these games it’d be great. Seems like they were already hard to find in stores even when i first got my dreamcast at 13.

me personal i really started playing fighting games about 3 years ago playing 3rd strike on ggpo with a couple of buddies of mine, yea i played street fighter 2 when i was younger but something about 3rd strike, the fast speed the parry system that made the game weird but really fun to play.

i pick ibuki and although i gotten better i still get my ass kick on ggpo.

it kind of sad i kind of wish 3rd strike had a bigger audience then sf4 because a see 3rd strike and alpha 3 (just started playing it love alpha 3 gen) a lot better game then street fighter 4. i just wish alpha 3 had more people playing on ggpo.

i would play 3rd strike more but their is a lot of assholes on ggpo, only a few players i like playing against.

Haha stfu tard and go back to gamefags.

you can find them, most probably at gamestop.com,amozon.com,or ebay.com

i know that 3rd strike compilation disc for ps2 is at gamestop.com,but i’ve never seen a sfalpha3 disc anywhere…that is waaaaaay rare and hard to find…your best chance is on ebay for that sfalpha3 ps2 game.

p.s.—at the gamestop.com site…even if it looks like they dont have it while browsing…if you register n sign up there, you can ask them by filling out their contact us form…ask that your looking for SF alpha 3 ps2 game that is NOT part of the compilation of alpha games disc…
and they’ll eventually track it down for you.

this thread, thanx to this loser’s post has now turned officially LAME.

let’s all guess how many hours it took raxzar to think up this witty retort, shall we?

from croatia, huh?

i didn’t even know there where video games in croatia…

i thought they were still passin the time fucking sheep over there…

seems they have progressed as a society, so it seems.

hey raxzar,…

STINGS ALITTLE,…DON’T IT?

Dude go back to your trailer park plz, you dont even no where croatia is neither im living atm in croatia. So stop makeing retarded threads no one cares about your opinion about 3rd strike. First ,three sides have all what you need to know.

I like how you waited 3 minutes for a response to your moronic post.
People have lives… you know, more then trolling srk with your godly skills and complaints about losing to the CPU in 3s :rofl:

what? What are you trying to say? Make sense will you.

Seems english isn’t your first language.

Look…people.

I really can’t understand why everyone is getting their panties up in a bunch over me stating that i thought that sf3 sucked.

Why are you all taking it so very very personally?

If someone here were to say to me…“hey, guilty gear accent core sucks!” i would be like “sure, whatever.”

but you losers start freakin out, spazzin out, getting yourselves into a total meltdown over my opinion.

Why do you find my dislike of sf3 soooo offensive?

What? Do you all own stock in capcom incorperated, or somethin?

What? Are you all paid press representatives for the capcom company?

If you disagree with my statements…then fine…i welcome a good debate,…if i say sf3 sucked balls…

Then tell me specifically why it didn’t by describing what aspects or traits about the game that made you like it.

Spazzin out, having a tantrum… And showing your immaturity …doesn’t get your point across…

And it really doesn’t serve the purpose of defending your favorite game.

If i say "sf3 sucked"
and you say “then you suck for saying it sucked”

is a really boring, one sided debate…

What i’m trying to say…in the simplest way i can get across to you all…is…

Grow some hair on your nuts and give me a more mature debate over fighting games, will you?

Cause you’re all doing the worst thing you can do to me, with these intellectually challenged posts you all keep putting up in retort to mine…

You are all …

Boring me.

yawn

speak for yourself

YEAH…i think i’m gonna get off this thread…cuz i can just smell a moderator closin in on this thread that has gotten way way waaaaaaay off topic,…n i really don’t wanna get it closed. i hate it when mods lock up a thread…

i’ll come back to it in a couple a weeks when every fucker here calms down, stops hyperventalating, and takes their hits from their asthma pumps, and gets out of their own personal panic attack.

i just wish somebody had debated me with the exact reasons why sf3 didn’t suck,…

instead of telling me F U!

i can only assume that the reason for that is because nobody COULD come up with good reasons why it didn’t suck…

which is why…

it did suck after all.

i thank you all for proving my point,…exactly.

this is a pretty damn good reason for it not sucking right here actually

THANK YOU! Pictures say a thousand words, but in this case… a video says a million.

and I am sure the scrub moron Axl (who everyone should be ignoring at this point) didn’t even bother to watch it.

And considering owning stock in Capcom for why we defend it or insert reason here, it has NOTHING to do with that. It’s love for the game- an amazing gem that has been scrutinized, misunderstood, hated on, and regarded as 'trash" by many because of either being too hard and advanced, no Blanka, Guile, Honda, etc, or just not bothering giving the series a chance because its not SFII.

“gem” is such a stupid gamer nerd buzzword
