The 3rd Strike Online Edition Video Thread

I think it’s all about learning your normals of a character and what you can and what you can’t do. I find Chun really easy to play in 3S.

I never tried to take the time to learn 3S in general as I always played MvC2. We did have a decent arcade scene here in Toronto but there’s only a handful of diehard players here now. I don’t take the game seriously enough to learn it now, but I do love the upload replay feature that 3SO offers, and I wish all fighting games had that option.

I think I mostly just suck shit at hitconfirming. This is why I play characters whose hitconfirms are extremely easy(Yang, Hugo, Ryu) because I can’t even do Chun hitconfirms correctly. Should work on it, but it tends to frustrate me to the point of ripping my hair out before I see any progress.

Knowing those few pixels that separate a normal from hitting or not hitting is really one of the arts of 3s. Baiting and counter poking are so important. All about spacing.

p.s. Tdot shout out!!!

Just out of curiosity katsudoro why did you keep using s.mp s.hk instead of s.mp walk forward s.mp xx sjc j.hk in situations where you dont cancel the first hit of the mp into chicken juggle?

I always use s.mp, walk forward, s.mp jump cancel into j.hp, but when there is too much rollback during a match (it doesn’t show in the replays) tha’s what is going to happen: s.mp, walk forward, s.mp MISS. In that case it’s better to go for a s.hk, it deals less damage but in most cases it’s a sure hit. but trust me, I hate to be forced to use that. Against some characters you can also use s.mp, walk, s.mp, cancel the first hit, jump forward s.hp, you and the opponent will land really close and it creates nice opportunities for Oro. I’ll post more replays in the future.

Yeah this is what I suspected pretty much. I usually do the one I was talking about, not too hard to do in low ms on ggpo / offline.

I also like to use it in the corner or as a tengu combo finisher. It’s kinda cool and adds some variety to your games. There is no difference in using an air.HP or an air.HK, the damage they deal is the same. I prefer the HP one because during that animation Oro stretches his arm in such a way that he shows to the entire world how hard and big his pecs are.
I uploaded a video, check the combo at the end (sorry but the tree got in the way). It should make things easier to understand.

Does anyone moderate this thread?

Shitty online replays like the above CANNOT be in a thread like this.

This is not the thread you think ^^

You’re in the wrong thread. Here’s where you belong =)

Just because I ended with a bitchslap! :clapdos:ggs to this guy.

Respect, EricGG you took that like a man.:tup:

I’m an idiot. Did not post like a man.

Sorry

i was fuckin’ dying at first cuz i thought you were goin’ in hella hardcore. lmfao :rofl: :rofl:

Well, I just play this game on the side. I’m aware Harmonaz is a top player so I wasn’t going to make an argument with him.

If I wanted to record top tier play, I’d just ask Samir to come over and body me a million times and make a compilation video out of it =P

No sorry really. For an online video thread that vid was fine, but the reason I watched it was because I thought I was in that other thread and just ended up getting a bit annoyed and didn’t really check where I was. Spared me more embarrassment by not arguing :smiley:
Don’t play 3s on the side. Play it like a man :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello my name is Harm:smokin:Naz…

No I’m being serious. Playing 3s on the side is like… keeping a Reventon in the garage while you go to pick up chicks in a Ford…
