The Official 3rd Strike Match Vids Thread

ha, i wonder if they made that makoto switch up to ken or if he was just showing mercy to that Q. Q vs makoto often ends ugly

Huh?

I’m completely ignorant about everything mentioned in this sentence. Can you (or someone else) please go into further detail? Thanks.

Can anyone point me in the direction of Alex videos

Jima, Nonsense and Aruka were all very fun to watch.

I was thinking the same thing.

Too many double shoryus = death. Goddamn.

He did it because he was trying to show no mercy. It’s really common for Ken players to want to kick the everloving crap out of any random Q. This is because Q is the only person that Ken can do double shoryu’s with at midscreen without having to kara. He used this to his advantage a lot if you watch the match.

lol trust me, him switchin to ken was mercy:tup:

Okay, I’ll take your word for it.

Maybe he wanted to show Ryan Hart how it’s done. Either way, it was disappointing how Nonsense kept letting C-13 get away with such gay shit like empty jump srk. Glad to see Aruka in the finals again. One of my favourite players to watch.

Quite a refreshing change from the usual Yun and Chun stuff we’ve grown accustomed to seeing.

And as far as I can tell, Uriden Log’s been updated again. Looks like Alex players are in luck; he seems to be in most of them.

Makoto >>>> Q
Ken >>> Q

Makoto has more greater-than signs.

I’d rather play against a Ken than a Makoto any day. What a stupidly designed character she is. Yun, Chun, and Ken have minor flaws that lead to them being overpowered (ie Yun is a fine character other than Genei Jin, which itself would be fine with just a little nerfage), but their fundamental designs are fine. Makoto isn’t like that. Even playing as Makoto is a guessing game. Playing Makoto is like playing roullette, and you’re the house.

Just a reminder.

signature worthy shit right there…

Damn, I only just saw yesterday that Ryan was in the ranbat. Dude never even told us about it when he got back to UK lol.

Nonsense :rofl:

actually, Ken can double Shoryu Elena and Necro (midscreen) as well without having to kara. doing that on Necro just requires slightly stricter timing than Elena and definitely Q.

:rock:

Sigged :lol:

On another note, C-13 had a nice SAII setup against that Alex. Alex jump-in gets stuffed by Makoto’s s.mp and while the Alex is in the air, C-13 does SAII.

I think I’m going to steal that. :lol:

This is true. Q is the easiest though… then Elena, then necro. In fact, you can do jab srk and then strong srk on the second one with Q, and you can’t do that with the others because the timing is way too strict.

another new ranbat is out

I wanted to see more of Pierre’s Yang but he switched back to Urien. Pretty exciting final round in the new ranbat.
