Street Fighter 3rd strike: Online edition

Is there a block option for stuff like this?

it normally updates at around 6 pm EST and it is usually always that time.

Jealous much (especially it happened for MvC3).

Except it never ends that way for me :frowning:

Can I get mod status and free swag? I want Arthur/Maximo boxers :[

Gamespot now playing OE.

LOL at Seth’s one handed master Oro analogy.

Gettin it PSN and XBLA, havin a party for the shit. I got like 8 people comin over to play it until we kill the 500 or 1000 match thing then doing it again on the other console.

I still haven’t gotten the XBL point thingy doo dads yet. Everyone can deal with it.

Pretty sure this has been covered already but anyway.

Pre-ordering 3S OE for sure!(hopefully the theme is cool)i like the fact that the bonus is Gill given the fact that i wasted so much time unlocking everyone on SF4 that i never want to go through that ever again

Re-releasing this game with new features and extra modes was a genius move by Capcom , get hype. In just two weeks I’ll be in the lab with Ryu and Makoto and beasting on Xbox Live. Can’t wait :)!!

Why is that Joseph guy such a fucktard?

You just learn to ignore him eventually.

Either that, or you try to subtly troll him so hard that he starts posting at such a level that Sven himself bans him.

Jump-in parry is a scrub move? WTF?

Any word if the new art in the character select screen bubbles be replaced with the original art?

I know where that Joseph guy is coming from as far as determining ranking of online players. Of course its online, and subject to lagging, rage quitters (hopefully resolved) but Im sick of seeing the ranking systems for online fighting games exploited (zangief arcade and survival mode for 4). It makes it so that no one really cares about it, but if you are going to have it there, why not make it harder to abuse, and thus more relevant?

Obviously there is a general set of 4 top tier chars, mid tier chars, and 4 bottom tier chars. It would be cool if they took a few “points” away for winning with Chun, yun, ken, makoto, leave mid chars alone, and give a slight increase for wins with Sean, remy, twelve, and i dunno, necro? I think it would be cool if Capcom developed its own tier list made up of the result of all of the matches played online, having it constantly fluctuating. Since its not tournament play, and only for fun online, but Capcom truly wants to rank fighters and i agree, you shouldnt rebalance the game, since if you play tournament you need to be used to playing good chuns, yuns. I think that might help other characters get some love. I wish I could find out more about how the leaderboards, ragequitting (hopefully punishing) works.

^ So you’re telling me that someone should be ranked not by how often they win and the skill levels of the players they win against…

But determined by the characters they win with?

Really?

Wow… I didn’t know skill level was linked to character choice but you have surely taught me something new today… the top tier characters in most games have more options than low tiers have that make them top tier and are therefore in general harder to use…

Like in MvC2, you would think that just because Magneto, Sentinel, and Storm are the best in the game, they are easy to use right? Play a fighting game with that mentality and get curbed stomped by anyone you play against…

Picking the best doesn’t make you the best…

imo It’s impossible to have an online ranking system with any merit. Even the ranking systems used in Japan only in arcades are abused. If you take the game seriously my suggestion is to pretend any ranking system doesn’t exist.
