3S is the only game to be at SBO every year. Why? Because people like the game as it is and they’ve created a strong and enduring scene around it. It does not need a rebalanced mode.
Because version B wasn’t a rebalance.
I hope that they don’t EZMODE it up with the parrying or adjust anything to make it more “approachable”.
Quoted for truth. Leave everything as it is in terms of balance. Don’t mess with a good thing. Hell, just put it up with proper online play and it’s all good.
its been at the SBO every year because THERE WAS NO OTHER NEW STREET FIGHTER GAME, and thats a fact
and with that THERE WAS NO 3S In evo this year.
i officially had a nerdgasm after hearing this news , i wanted third strike to go online on psn and xbox for a long time and thought it wasnt possible but here we are , sean here i come
People always whine about anything being changed, regardless if it’s for better or worse. Nothing new.
Meh some changes would help some people out. I had no real problems with HDR, except for Hawk and Gief.
Let’s put in 2I Sean instead of 3S sean, and let’s give Dudley back that stupid torpedo move. That’s pretty much it for me as far as re-balancing.
I think it’s more about politics and the SBO staff liking the game (what I heard). There’s no reasonable explanation why SBX is an official game at SBO outside of $$$ and politics, when they could of chosen more popular, off-the-wall fighters like FUC or HnK. SBX is dead and it never really blew up when it first came out.
All you people that are asking for a rebalanced version need to stop talking. Period.
Who the hell honestly prefers some sort of revised version over a perfect arcade port.
You’ve clearly never played the game seriously or competitively if you are complaining about specific characters or damage scaling.
I don’t post on the smash bro forums about stupid shit I’ve never played, because I don’t know shit about smash bros. Don’t come here complaining about a game you obviously know nothing about.
The only reason someone will ever disagree with me about this decision is because they’ve never played the game or are stupid. Brilliant argument fuccon.
This guy speaks the hard truth. Leave the game as it is. Chun/Yun/Ken OP-tier and all.
guys capcoms always made a sequel to a series after releasing good hd fighting game on xbox.
hdr -> sf4
mvc2 -> mvc3
sf3:o -> …?
While I’m interested in the idea of a re-balance. (to the point where it would become 4th strike or something). In all honesty it probably shouldn’t happen.
Look at all the flack HDR got for not having an arcade/domestic release in Japan.
That and SBO with its arcade only rule would never touch it. Plus, the game is pretty much dead at EVO.
An arcade perfect release with good netcode and maybe filters like MVC2 are the best I hope for here.
Then why is it at SBO this year?
hey remmber that one year at evo where top 8 was chun chun chun chun yun chun chun chun
I remember seeing a Japanese tournament where the top three was a Urien and 2 Necros.
I’d honestly prefer both. I played 3rd Strike for many years and there is definitely some shit that needs to change. Not too much. In my opinion if they tweaked some supers and it gave incentive to use all the other supers instead of just one (sometimes 2) for each character, that would help a little. Or you could make it even simpler by having Chuns SAII only have one bar or it could have two bars and do way less damage. Genei Jin has one really long ass bar but last for the same amount of time. Tweak some of the existing supers just slightly…like have Alex SAII not whiff on the grab if it’s used just a little bit too far away. I mean there’s a ton of stuff that could be done without changing the game drastically. I didn’t want to go into normals and special moves and whatnot.
Just make Chun SA2 one bar and Yun’s Genei Jin a longer bar that lasts the same amount of time if you’re gonna rebalance anything. Maybe reduce the amount of stun Makoto can do post SA2 but she still needs to do a good amount as thats what makes her a threat. Reduce some the frame advantage dudley gets on his Jump in normals a bit too and you’re good. Ken is fine as is.
Wow…I think we’re long lost identical twins. We even posted at the exact same fucking time.
