If you’re not a top Japanese 3S player your opinion doesn’t matter.
If they don’t re-balance the game then I wouldn’t care. I could just play it on ggpo as I’m already doing.
The problem is people don’t like balance.
If every character has tools/universal system mechanics, they “play the same” and the game is boring.
If something is going to get rebalanced, they assume that it will be more nerfs than buffs.
People like playing as strong/broken characters.
But what defines strong characters, without characters who are weak by comparison?
Therefore balance is “boring”.
Good God. This game just got announced and people are already arguing over balancing? Typical 3rd Strike discussion/community 
As was said before, the game is already available on GGPO and 2DF/Starcade with terrific netcode. If you want to play an unaltered version of 3rd Strike, a way to do so is already available to you. 3rd Strike simply being online isn’t enough to get hyped about since it was first on Xbox Live, then 2DF and then GGPO.
I would love to see a revised version of 3rd strike or 4th strike. As someone who has played this game for years competitively and online, it would be nice to have some of the aggravating issues addressed.
It does need to include an arcade perfect version as well as a rebalanced version. As for splitting the community, since the majority of the community has pretty much assimilated into SF4, I don’t see this as a problem. Its not like the community is trying hard to keep the game alive anyway which is probably because we have all taken the game as far as it will go. Hence another reason to have a revised version so we can once again rediscover 3rd Strike.
Revise the game right, make it fresh, and include an unaltered port of 3rd Strike Arcade and you’ll have the best of both worlds.
Exactly right!!! I love CvS2 its my favorite fighting game and always will be… when they took away RC in EO i was pissed. Its part of the game, leave it alone dam it capcom.
Man, since 3s is coming i’m really hoping CvS2 is right behind it, and please capcom ARCADE PERFECT. That would be awesome.
I’m not proposing re balance though. Just give the game something new for us who’ve been playing the game for like a decade to care about.
Actually, if you’re not a developer of the game, or someone working on it’s development onto PSN/XBL, then your opinion doesn’t REALLY matter, since it’s their final say.
Hey guys, it’s me, Kokujin. I’m just stopping by to tell you guys that this game needs air-dashing, and Dudley’s normals should fire laser beams… for balance, of course.
Just out of curiosity:
If Online Edition was arcade perfect and sold great, then Capcom announced Street Fighter III: 4th [Whatever], how would you feel?
This…
Capcom should listen to people like me. There are a lot more of us than there are of you sacred cow worshippers and if they want our money, they’ll cater to what we want. Sucks to be you.
No you shut up. Capcom can only get money from so called “top competitive 3S players” in America so only their collective opinion matters.
quiet
I already am looking forward to the hate mail I will be getting for Aegis!!!
No…
Guess you’re right. Although have to admit I wouldn’t mind anything happen to Blanka, I hate the character on a purely conceptual level.
Although the first part comes back to this too: Why exactly are people asking for core game mechanics to be nerfed/removed/altered significantly? I mean, asking for some character tweaks is one thing, but trying to wreck Parry?
What if they tried to achieve A without giving everyone the same thing or trying to compress toward the middle too much?
Second part doesn’t seem likely, but possible… SF3:HDR sounds most likely, since “online edition” implies that there’s something… new about it. Other than just online. MvC2 didn’t get a new subtitle when it went on PSN/XBL.
If they do though, Eagle should be added to the game >.>
Why should they though?
People like you don’t understand the games well enough to warrant making changes for. It’ll be the same game to the vast majority of players, with or without a rebalance. The only people who will really notice it, are the ones that play it on a hardcore level. Those players, overwhelmingly, would vote to keep 3S as it is.
Meh, all I want is for them to give alex more comboable SA’s or increase his damage…and undo the UNGODLY nerf bat they gave to Sean.
Well we wouldn’t know unless we actually did interviews and got video recorded statements.
It seems kind of odd that you’re talking specifically about what top players would say when you admitted to not being one (I’m not either I’ll admit).
It also depends on what level you “need to be” to be “hardcore” in your opinion.
Would love for it to get a HD Remix.
Would love for them to include the backgrounds from ALL SF3’s!! There were some really nice ones in NG & 2I.
I’m with HAV.
Who the fuck are you to ask for changes in a game that, in most cases, you’ve barely played.
This is why I don’t like devs taking communities words as input towards games they are making.
There are members that have a right to make educated inputs about the game, and there are members that have no business making any suggestions at all.
I’m in shock.
“Members” of a fighting game community asking for a non-perfect port of SF3 3rd Strike???
I never would have guessed it.
