Street Fighter 3rd strike: Online edition

I want a few subtle changes made to one of my favorite video games. I must be unskilled and a poseur and totally not, like, legit ‘cause everyone else was here first. You guys sound like a bunch of scene kids and hipsters. I know how to deal with Ken as Hugo. I know whiffing claps to bait out reversals, parries, and Shippus is my best bet. I know that the most consistent answer to the Twins’ dive kicks is parry>S.MP. I know what can trade with Chun Li in my favor. When I go on a 19 game losing streak I don’t get salty because they’re tier whores or something. I figure it out. I win the next round and I feel good because I did work at it . I ignored impulses like trying to throw too much. I learn and I learn well. What bothers me is that the other person is not putting anywhere near as much focus into his game, unless down-backing while throwing out C.MP and then waiting for a poke so they can throw out a super is considered work, in which case, I gladly concede.

part of the game dude, dont like it dont play it

its 3s

Game is fine as is.

If there was a re-balance, I’d just hope they still include an arcade perfect port along with it.

We all know that if there is a rebalanced mode, the majority of tournaments will go with that mode since it’s new.

HDR had the option for ST (Classic Mode) and people still switched to HDR.

I sure as hell do not want to see 3SHDR being played at majors like FR, ECT, or EVO.

Why the fuck would you take parries out? Why’s that even being discussed?

i just dont trust that ono and crew can actually make the game better with their changes

its already an excellent game, leave it alone

Great advice. I’ll just stop playing a game that for the most part I enjoy. Yup.

Look, I enjoy the game. I enjoy it a LOT. I prefer it to all of the other Street Fighter games. I just believe that the game would be significantly better if parries were removed, whiffing normals no longer generated meter, and the characters were all rebalanced with this in mind. Why is it so damned hard to for people to understand that just because I hate parries does not mean I hate SF3.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Because parries are what make 3S unique. Like I said, if you do not want parries, go play 3S on PS2 with System Direction.

Jesus fucking Christ.

get the fuck out of here dude, parries are what make this game- go play mugen, or system direction all by yourself.

seriously why the fuck are you still talking about getting rid of parries

Actually, this is true.

Arcade perfect port only please.

you just blew my mind

/Jesus fucking Christ

Sure, throw in a rebalanced mode along with classic mode. People played SF2:HDR version at tournaments because they liked that version over the original Super Turbo setup.

If the rebalanced mode is bad and Capcom creates more problems than it solves then I am fairly certain people will stick to the original arcade perfect setup.

wowzer

And why do we care about uniqueness, exactly? Shouldn’t we be caring more about what, I dunno, actually good for the game? Uniqueness be damned.

I sort of need competition to enjoy my ideal version of 3S, no?

And I’m continuing to talk about it because I’m goddamned passionate about it.

Disclaimer: 3s IS MY FAVORITE GAME made by Capcom. I am not some random 09/10 er.

Yo, if you think 3s is “perfect” or we need another arcade perfect port you are fucking delusional.

Think about it…what would be gained by opening up the same old shit to xbox live and psn? nothing if not very little community expansion. and even that is a gamble.

Do you think that this games numbers for tournaments and get togethers are going to get boosted again? Do you think 3s will be back in the limelight? Do you think it will be back on evo stage?

FUCK NO. THe gameplay has grown stale and this game has run its course (in USA anyway)…

It is a cop out, and it is silly to go back and simply make an accessible game that is at the end of its life cycle, slightly more accessible. MvC2 is a perfect example. What did the re release do? It sold well, but it sure as hell didn’t give the community a boost of life…the game made its final evo appearance this year, a few months after the re-release…think about that.

It is going to be a waste if they pool all these resources into making the same old shit. What the community needs to do is move on from the third strike to a NEW STREET FIGHTER III EXPERIENCE. Give me 4th clash.

I think EVO staff (some) have shown they don’t care for the game. The ass finals in '09 didn’t help. That spot only opened up because blazblue players didn’t want to play CT. Well CS will be out in time this time around.

I don’t really like most new games, but we have to face the reality of the situation. SSFIV, MvC3, BlazBlue, Tekken, TvC, MB, the new AH3 port, KoF XIII, MK9 (i think thats the new one), HDR are all “new” games and will probably be first in line before third strike. Its not that I don’t like 3S, I’m just being realistic.

i loved 3s because taunting was useful and i love taunting

I know…im actually new to fgs, but I have an appreciation for quality games. My problem is I quit the shitty fps scene for this one, and I’ll be damned if I’m just gonna be playing the fighting game equivalent of halo for years to come. That’s why its good they at least are coming out with this cuz it sparks interest enough to increase the playerbase.

Because a game that tries it’s own thing is far more interesting then a game plays like every other game. Come on.
