Shout outs to stream monsters who have no idea of what’s what hating on 3rd Strike.
I agree, Fubarduck’s Dudley is ordinary compared to Aiku or other top level Dudleys, Amir is actually damn good, but sadly he is rusty. Watch the old denjin arcade vids.
hey guys is hugo easy to use for someone whose a big grappler fan/user?
Ah shit! Alex vs Ken, and Sanchez has SA2 this time.
Sick! Sanchez did a LK Shoulder, then stHK with the Ken in the air.
I stay with the stream popped out. Stream chats are filled with so much dumb.
The SA3 Makoto user is back…And loses again, and again and again I’m going to guess.
Mike Z is famous for his SA3 Makoto, so it’d make sense for him to use it.
But seriously? You could tell almost everyone here is out of practice. So many missed spots and combos…
Mike-Z uses Makoto? 0_o
But why invite an SA3 Makoto user to an event to show off the game? There’s high level people still playing this, especially out in Cali. The Chun is the only one I consider to be good, maybe. The Alex is making so many mistakes, doing the Dive, random Stomp, stHK, wtf?
This guy is doing crHP with Alex, hits once, and then EX Air Knee Smash does he not realize it doesn’t do any additional damage and he’s wasting meter?
Why the fuck are they doing a Remy Mirror now? And Sanchez just did a random fullscreen SA2 with Remy… Where the fuck did they find these guys?
(This one stuns me) Amri does Denjin as Sanchez jumps in with Remy, and he was nowhere near full stun or had a fraction of health. Face palm. Kuroda is spinning in his grave.
I Wanna see a good hugo =(…or a hugo in general
random notes. originally they replaced the “tech bonus” message with “parry” so it would make more sense. apparently they changed it back to tech bonus in this build. also seemed like makoto was saying something different when activating tanden. could be wrong about that one though.
oh yeah and ryan was right. super finish message was fixed.
You’re right, they used an unused sample clip from the voice collection track in the 3S OST.
Ryan also was correct about the duffel bag too. Didn’t notice the different tanden activation quote.
what a bad third strike “exhibition”
aku: knew it sounded familiar. there are actually a lot of unused samples in the game data, even on the console discs that aren’t on the OSTs, too. a rarely used super was an interesting place to put a new sample though.
lol i totally forgot to look for that when amir used ryu.
I think it was a good exhibition! Could have been better, but really, could have been a LOT worse.
There were a couple of errors here and there, but it wasn’t boring to watch. They played characters other than their mains - showing some variety for the public, and I think the game looks great. The objective was to introduce 3rd strike online edition to the big public…
Edit: Makoto says something different for each button you use to activate SA3 - there’s even a variation if you press 2 punches!
For real? I’ve never noticed!
I thought it was pretty bad, not trolling or anything. Look up some tournament videos on youtube, or even casuals and they’re way better then what we got. What was up with the Remy mirror, and Sanchez doing a random SA2 at fullscreen? If they wanted players who were good at multiple characters, then why not invite more than 5 dudes, get some specialists in there for an actual mini tourney? Fuck, why not invite Kuroda to really sell the game?
The exhibition was the equivalent of spectating randoms on GGPO.
Guys… should I quit 3s? I partially agreed with what Louischipher00125 just said in his post.
That “exhibition” was really bad. There was one good match (the Dud/Chun) that wasn’t bad for like… slightly higher than mid level play. Fuck man, I play in games that have more shit than that going on. At least we got to see the super loud noises and the annoying glitch that sends you back to the main menu instead of letting you rematch. I’m glad that they changed" Parry" back to “Tech.” The other thing that sucked about the exhibition was announcers that had no clue what they were talking about.
Seriously, was Gootecks that drunk that he couldn’t even comment? I guess he would have pointed out how bad they were all playing.
Edit:: Fuck I’m so pissed about this shit. A Daigo Wong runback would have been better. Keninblack should have been invited. At least he plays the god damn game.
Oh and Mike Z, I’m definitely not buying Skullgirls because of what you did.
fair enough, but ultimately what we thought of it doesn’t matter. we’ve already paid for the game numerous times. what does matter is whether or not the few thousand people in the venue and ~50K people watching the stream who haven’t bought the game yet will do so because of what they saw. and for the most part, the crowd reaction didn’t seem positive minus when the MC goaded them into applause.
also, didn’t know about the makoto thing!
edit: another not so great thing for 3S players… viscant won mvc3, lol.
