The negative effects of dividing the community, and the losers that benefit from it

Hey, man, don’t look at me

Dander you play smash? So you mean there are two fighting games you’ve practiced that I can rape you in?

I don’t play melee very well, not well at all actually but if you mean Brawl then man oh man are you in for a treat

When did you start playing?
When I first touched 3S? 2000 or so. I played SA2 Ken and spammed regular Tatsus like an idiot.
When I first dedicated myself to it? February 2003, JP Dreamcast version.

Did you play any games before you played this one (3s)?
Bemani games, like DDR(I would enter local tourns) and IIDX. I was into the Guilty Gear games though, from the PSX version to X2; one could say this was my first competitive fighting game series.

Why did you pick up this game?
I played NG back when it first came out. There was a machine at Planet Fun in Potomac Mills, Woodbridge VA, and I loved how smooth and advanced everything looked in comparison to Alpha 2. Everything about it felt so foreign to me though, so I was pretty intimidated and turned off. I skipped 2nd Impact, and I tried out 3S. Hugo and Q immediately grabbed my attention since I liked grapplers and robot masks, but y’know, SA2 Ken spam Tatsu.

Then a friend of mine talked about 3S and how great it was, and I just so happened to find the Japanese DC port of it. I didn’t know anything about whether or not it was the worst port, it was 3S. Bought it, played around. Some friends of mine who were playing before I picked it back up played with me too, so I was slowly building something. I liked the game, but I wouldn’t fall in love with it until the KO/Daigo match at Evo2K3 Grand Finals. That was the set that changed my perspective on 3S forever, and what made me want to get good at it.

Is there anything in particular about this game that drew you in (be very specific, like if parry, what parry)?
Parries in general. Sure, the tiers are tiers and it would have to take something really big to change anything in 2013, but it’s like Rikimaru said: nothing’s absolute.

Who is your rival?
The world.

Where do you think you stand amongst the players around you? Not where are you in the leaderboards, where do you think you stand (only the girls will take offense to this, it’s an opinion after all)?
I’m not terrible. I’ve put in the time and effort, so I need to at least not be a terrible player.

Who is your favorite character?
Q - Just look at him! Gameplay-wise, it’s kind of the same as TM: high defense, damaging simple combos, he’s just a badass.
Urien - RX and Emphy showed me his near infinite possibilities, but guys like Pierre, Senaka and Rockefeller showed me he can be played at a slower and consistent pace. If Q wasn’t in this game, I’d want to play Urien full-time.

Honorable Mention: Hugo - My first serious main in 3S, a very fun grappler character that helped me learn the importance of pokes and footsies.

What is the highest ranking you’ve ever gotten in a tournament?
3rd place at a scrub tournament in Magfest.

Perception: What is this game most like, to you? Do you think it shares anything in particular with something like fps games? maybe poker? Pachinko? Doesn’t have to be one of these, you can name your own.
(if Chess, though, can you compare your game to chess)

3rd Strike is life. Chun-Li is that asshole who is extremely buff and could punch down that little nerd with the glasses(Twelve). That nerd is 3rd dan black belt though, and could beat the buff guy down due to his knowledge and intellect. And parries. Parries make life busted.

Any rituals you have for before a match?
I put coins in.

Anything like above but strictly for tournament situation?
If it’s free play, I just press Start.

How do you feel about talking during tournament matches?
Depends on what you mean by “talking”. Talking strategies? Talking DURING a match?

How do you feel about any kind of out of the game distractions during a match?
Annoying.

What is your take on lag? More obstacle than wrench?
I hate it. It’s why I hated GGPO for the longest time, and why I don’t like playing on OE either. I don’t even like playing on the PS2 anymore because the slight speed increase.

Do you plan on learning every character in the game to the extent that you know your current main?
Not really, because I only enjoy playing a little over half the cast.

Anything interesting you do/use in your game that you think only you do?
I can connect C&DB a lot, I guess.

What if anything in particular do you use outside of the game that you can honestly say you learned from 3s?
Games are games. 3S is my favorite fighting game, but I’ve learned to treat it as nothing more than a game.

Do you plan on continuing to play this game?
That said, it is still my favorite fighting game and I will keep playing it until I get married or something. Then I’ll occasionally play it.

And we just keep glowing shittier. :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s a good idea.

Of course there’s no staff around to change the name of this thread since they need to be on top of this Louiscipher/Mixah stalking and since they’re not, there’s nobody we can see.

Its a good idea because Louis told me he thinks I’m a fat girl who speaks French and likes the Rap music to hula too, and this makes him angry(spoiler:horny)! So he may have a female version of all of you in his head too… run away @Niji !!

Protip: Smoke bomb disappear, and he is the one who gets left covered in white stuff. Hide the raccoons too. He might get an idea with those too even. Sicko :bluu:


My bad no survey filled out and you wasted your click/time to look at this. Some people have answered how I would have already. “Scrub, it doesn’t matter” Mahjonng, the Asian poker with making 5 hands at the same time. If people are yelling at you to gain an advantage, you’ve already won, does that guy even play? Who is that groupie hoe, does he have money on the line on this match or something trying to effect the outcome, broke ass foo’s…

still want to see the Hax survey

btw I liked the thread title more before

I think “this new thread title oughta turn some heads.”

I say what ever you collectively want me to say

You hear “wah wah wah wah wah wah”

if Louis has a female version of us in his head, he can be assured I have a kpop version of everyone who posts at this board

naturally I would be G Dragon

You can save his face of America 3rd Strike WIP thread with this.

“Wicked T-shirt Bob” I do remember.

I called all the Chun’s KARA too though.

The Teacher on Peanuts?

Snoop Dogg!

He got his name from that.

More like wario

You know what?! Shut up, you owe me fancy noodles.

When did you start play? About a year ago.

Did you play any games before you played this one (3s)?
Been playing games since I was 3. Tekken, Virtual Fighter on the Saturn, I didn’t play Street Fighter until 3 years ago.

Why did you pick up this game? My boyfriend had been talking about it very often as he had played it on the original Xbox.

Is there anything in particular about this game that drew you in (be very specific, like if parry, what parry)bad parrying is awesome (even though I suck compared to some doing it), I like doing the Akuma Super 1 parry and Ryu’s Denjin Hadouken.

Who is your rival?
Um, he probably doesn’t know it yet but my friend Mulletgeezer. I try to be as good as him in places I am weak at, so when we fight Player Matches I take it as a lesson.

Where do you think you stand amongst the players around you? Not where are you in the leaderboards, where do you think you stand (only the girls will take offense to this, it’s an opinion after all)?
I’ve seen worse players than me. Serious. I’ve beaten some good players so I can’t be so bad.

Who is your favorite character?
Elena. I love her style and ex juggles.

What is the highest ranking you’ve ever gotten in a tournament?
Never entered one.

Perception: What is this game most like, to you? Do you think it shares anything in particular with something like fps games? maybe poker? Pachinko? Doesn’t have to be one of these, you can name your own.
(if Chess, though, can you compare your game to chess)
I don’t really compare it to anything. Never thought of it this way.

Any rituals you have for before a match?
I always tend to click my fingers and have a drink nearby.

Anything like above but strictly for tournament situation? If I entered one.

How do you feel about talking during tournament matches? I wouldn’t mind as long as they don’t talk trash.

How do you feel about any kind of out of the game distractions during a match?
I usually concentrate on the game and if relevant deal with the distraction later.

What is your take on lag? More obstacle than wrench? Um, I never play redbar games. Too much.

Do you plan on learning every character in the game to the extent that you know your current main?
Not at all. I’ll only use characters I’m comfortable using. I don’t see why I should learn someone new because of Elena’s bad matchups.

Anything interesting you do/use in your game that you think only you do?
Uhhhh, that would be telling. :wink:

What if anything in particular do you use outside of the game that you can honestly say you learned from 3s?
Well, some Elena set ups I now use in SFxT

Do you plan on continuing to play this game? Of course!

Okay. That’s me. Hurr, probably made a mess of it.

killed it…

Oh yeah. I never really made the ‘wicked bob’ connection until you reminded of that shirt picture.

Kind of backhanded account name! It flew over my head at the time. The joke makes sense now.

KPop version of me would be something to see. I feel that G Dragon would be a very good fit for Pherai. The rest of the 3S forums are all Girls’ Generation members.

Be careful that you not mistake your imaginary versions of us for the real ones, for sudden surprises are bad for the heart!

Oh yeah, and before I forget here is Dander singing. Blast from the past~!

Onara is a really famous Korean song, but it’s so weird to me because “onara” in Japanese means “fart”. :frowning:

Mine will be the best. Jetlag is hella gay. I just wanna have a normal day
When did you start playing?
I started playing like 6 years ago but that was just mashing stuff.

Did you play any games before you played this one (3s)?
This was the first fighter I wanted to play.

Why did you pick up this game?
I picked up this game because I wanted to play a fighter and some idiot said this was the best one.

Is there anything in particular about this game that drew you in (be very specific, like if parry, what parry)?
First I liked it because it was pretty. Then the daigo parry thing was pretty sweet. Then I would just watch every video of daigo every day. Then I saw KO fight daigo so I started watching every KO vid and I wanted to play yun. Then I watched kokujin vs daigo and I thought kokujin was the sickest ever so I wanted to play dudley. Then I saw J beat kokujin and I thought makoto was the sickest ever and so on and so on.

Who is your rival?
That stupid jerk 2manly720s cause he was new when I was new but I was newer and he would body me until I got better. Now we play every friday until 5 am. It’s so annoying

Where do you think you stand amongst the players around you? Not where are you in the leaderboards, where do you think you stand (only the girls will take offense to this, it’s an opinion after all)?
I guess I’m at the bottom of players who aren’t shitty. In my mind at least. Like Mami is definitely 100 years ahead of me and stuff but at least I don’t never beat him like the good ol days.

Who is your favorite character?
Akuma I think but makoto is 2nd for life. I like all the shotos except sean though.

What is the highest ranking you’ve ever gotten in a tournament?
Probably last. When are there even tournaments

Perception: What is this game most like, to you? Do you think it shares anything in particular with something like fps games? maybe poker? Pachinko? Doesn’t have to be one of these, you can name your own.
It’s like real life

Any rituals you have for before a match?
I pray for the buttons at svgl to work

Anything like above but strictly for tournament situation?
nope

How do you feel about talking during tournament matches?
No one has ever done it to me and I’ve never done it

How do you feel about any kind of out of the game distractions during a match?
I think it’s bad I guess

What is your take on lag? More obstacle than wrench?
It takes 3s and makes it like some kinda guessing game

Do you plan on learning every character in the game to the extent that you know your current main?
Noo

Anything interesting you do/use in your game that you think only you do?
I’m the only akuma in the world that kara demons and triple tatsus in the U.S. Or so I imagine.

What if anything in particular do you use outside of the game that you can honestly say you learned from 3s?
I learned not to be surprised and anticipate everything

Do you plan on continuing to play this game?
Yeah and learn more
