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

it was not until legendary fighting game player daigo umehara defeated justin wong that things began to pick up

3s is so last week, can we move on to mvc2?

unbalanced trash

*cvs2

*vampire savior

I’ll agree to that

Agreed.

Who said 3s? I said sf3 SERIES. They made more than just the LAST one, you know. You make yourself an ass by assuming that I have a problem with the game. Capcom considers the sf3 series a failure. i don’t care how much YOU like it. It doesn’t matter how much I like that tight piece of work. That’s what Capcom considers it. Quit trolling, dumbass. I made this thread to try to get to the reason why Capcom feels this series isn’t good.

just a heads up, if this thread gets closed yall can come hang out in the fgd lounge [a cool place to hang out and talk about fighting games]

relax bro, i was just commenting on how in the end it will all boil down to the “does sf3 suck or not” argument - nothing wrong with your thread, just the people that’ll end up posting in it

Always fun to read the long posts of people who miss the question however :]

No, sorry, i didn’t mean you, I meant to quote another poster who thinks I suck at 3s (even though I was talking about the whole series), and that I made this thread because of said fictitious suckage.

Source? Citation? Evidence?

Considering that 3S has made it into Arcadia’s monthly top ten rankings even this year, despite being much older than most other top ten games, shows that it has incredible longevity. 3S is also one of the only games to have been at SBO every year. SF:AE sold plenty of copies on the PS2 and X-Box internationally. PS2 3S sold well enough in Japan that Capcom bundled it with CvS2 and did a re-release of both games a couple of years later.

Where exactly is the failure?

Hope you’re not talking about me…because I didn’t say anything like that, bro.

2I is better anyways.

The fact that people aren’t playing 2I?

Needs moar pretentious 3s fanboy quotes like “3s is too advanced for normal FG players to understand” imo

Pretty sure he was trolling bro

I realize this, but several other posters have said something like this in the thread already. And when this thread eventually devolves to the “parry vs no parry” argument we will see a lot more of said quotes.

I probably should have quoted someone so people wouldn’t think i was talking about pimp bishop but i’m lazy.

gonna preface this post by saying i have no first-hand experience with playing the game and am in no way shape or form commenting on it’s gameplay (what i have seen of it looks interesting and fun enough).

however i think the proof of SF3’s financial failure is in the pudding. it took… how long exactly after 3s for sf4 to get in the works? it only got 3 iterations compared with sf2’s… how many? if you look at objective financial indicators this game was definitely a failure… doesn’t mean the game itself wasn’t good, it just didn’t do well.

hhhaahahhahahahahahha do not post

I think 3s should have been made of Waffles. Clearly, the designers didn’t know what they were doing.

I mean just look at waffles…

their delicious…
