Street Fighter 3rd strike: Online edition

Yeah all 20 CvS2 players in the U.S. are gonna love this!

I want a trial mode because I admittedly have never played 3S :frowning:

But I’d still rather play 3S than SSFIV, HDR, ST, or any other game, so, clearly, there’s something magical about that game (and it isn’t parry, believe me; otherwise, I’d be playing Akatsuki Blitzkampf) that has yet to be replicated by another fighting game in my eyes. So, I’ll continue to dream about my ideal fighting game which shall never exist: A rebalanced Third Strike lacking parries and the ability to generate meter by whiffing normals.

Ahahahahaha no. The game is not broken. I do not know a single 3s player who thinks the game is broken.

As far as balance goes. People who play 3s don’t want a balance issue (and probably will not even buy the game if that was the case). People who don’t play 3s seem to want some miracle re-balance that will magically fix the game with every single gripe they have with the game.
The game’s not perfect, but what is?

Marvel didn’t need to be re-balanced, and neither does this. its as simple as that.

Glad to hear that the scene is growing

Virtua Fighter 5 training/replay/trail modes. Hitboxes, frame advantage, and frame by frame replay. Nothing else needs to change.

Just because twice as many people play 3S, doesn’t mean 'yall still have numbers to brag about. =p

LMAO dude you are so right man. I don’t even try to visit the MVC3 forums because if I post there, someone might call me a muthafucka and shit lol. Imma just stay away.

But i really didn’t see an unbalance in the game. Especially chun-li. In fact, chun-li is a boring character…

Rebalance please.

Even if the rebalance is shitty I can just do what I do already and keep playing on GGPO.

this is the truth, and HAV is a smart person.

how can you guys ask for a rebalance, someone asked to remove parrying, and someone else asked that supers be unparryable. unless you are already playing this at a very very high level, you really dont know what you’re asking for, and you wont notice a difference unless the changes were huge (in which case, the existing 3s community would get mad.)

this game does not need a rebalanced. just port it with net code and keep it at that. less development time, and keep the game elegant and respectable. if you dont respect 3s how it is now, then you shouldnt really be bursting in here trying to get it changed.

so many people that dont know how to play the game want to have it changed, then find out that they still dont know how to play the game, and just ruin it for people who loved it in the first place

Sadly, the best reason I’ve seen for keeping it exactly like the arcade version is “I can’t get GGPO to work.”

Game’s been around for 10 years. I LOVE me some 3S, I really do, but at this point in the game I wouldn’t mind changing it up a bit. If people want to stick to the classic version, you can play on GGPO, and if the community generally finds that the rebalance is worse, tournaments can always stick to arcade 3S.

No reason not to have options for rebalanced and arcade. It may “split the community” but I assure you it won’t be a 50/50 split, and people will just slowly edge over to whichever side the community agrees upon. I mean, shit, there are still people who swear by SF2:HF, and they can still play it, but most of the SF2 playerbase went with ST (and eventually HDR).

People arguing against options are not doing anybody any favors.

If they change any aspect of the game (I’m not referring to music or online play), then it would not be Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.

out of all the shitload of people who bought mvc2 rerelease on 360 and ps3, who is actually still playing it?

only the mvc2 hardcores, people who were still playing it before the rerelease, and they all hate the few subtle changes in the game

Really only reason I’m excited is that i can KILL those flow chart kens and put some hurt with a real dudley:rock:

fuck third strike…

if they were about anything, they would make a new iteration and not more of the same

give me 4th clash/collision/impulse. give me a new street fighter 3 experience

It’d be nice if people didn’t lump the “Remove parries” and the “Chun’s SA2 reduced to one stock” ideas into the same category. The former changes the dynamic of the entire game and then other things would need to get moved around to compensate. Everyone knows this isn’t a good idea in many different terms. The latter makes one of one overused character’s tools slightly less desirable. Don’t be all drama

Thread over, IMO.

Which is different because MvC2 players didn’t already have exactly what they wanted beforehand.

The day a perfect 3S port is released on XBLA are you going to be hype to play the exact same game you could have played the exact same way against better players the day before? That’s the worst part. Even if the 3SO is a perfect port, unless the netcode is a good deal better, I’d take GGPO players over XBL ones to begin with…

Not having to lug around a CRT and PS2 to tournaments to play 3S is a pretty huge deal.
