I wasn’t happy with the audio of the podcast either, but we are all poor and can’t really afford the kind of equipment I’d like. That and its really just me editing them afterward, and I don’t know shit about cleaning up audio. I’ll try my best to make sure it doesn’t sound so scary next time
Ryan was a bit hard to hear, but it wasn’t like I couldn’t hear him. Great episode, couldn’t stop listening. 3s junkies is the best thing to come to 3s in a long time. I’m reading the website as we speak, I’m at work on the toilet. 3ssssss.
I enjoyed the podcast, though I do disagree with Ryan on a couple points, mainly with his Chun arguments. True enough, the better player will surely almost always win. I don’t think that fact negates many people’s problems with the character. The fact is, Chun has a combination of advantages that almost no other member of the cast can claim, other than maybe Ken. She has great defense, above average stun, , she builds meter ridiculously fast, she has very high damage output , she has a high damage 2 stock super that is easy to hit confirm, most of her moves have beneficial hitbox arrangements, and she has a duck animation that is so low that it can negate many moves that it should not be able to. Her only real weaknesses are a lack of good anti-airs, and thank God, little combo ability. I think I could look past most all of that, if it weren’t for the speed that her moves build meter. Those palm strikes are just ridiculous.
I can agree with Ryan on most things, but this seems to be a common sentiment with Chun mains. It you are going to like the character you play, fine, but don’t try to rationalize away such glaring characteristics, especially considering that unlike Yun, she has little disadvantages to negate her advantages Only Ken can rival her as far as toolset.
Nothing against your podcast Pherai, I think its great. Just some things that I find annoying about Ryan’s argument. All said and done though, I am a big fan of the series…
Nope. You said “It’s kinda hard to see the dark text against the dark background.” I disagree that it is hard at all to see the text against the dark background. Maybe you meant to say it’s hard for you to see it? Which sounds like a personal problem to me.
Well, that’s nice and all but I don’t get the point of you taking the time to respond to this. I was hoping someone can point me in the direction where I can change the color of the back ground on my browser that way you can keep what you have and I can actually view the site with out trouble.
Hope you guys who tuned into the stream tonight enjoyed it. We’ll post up the archive link soon.
In the meantime, for those of you interested in what its like to play 3s in Tokyo during SBO time, I recently re posted the Denjin Arcade SBO 2009 blog me and Bean wrote while we were there.
Really liking where you’re going with this site so far. I think it’s been pointed out already but the colors do look a little monochrome. I understand content is more of a priority for the time being, though.
I noticed you guys mentioned a lot of things geared towards newer players in your podcasts so far, and I wanted to suggest something that I rarely ever hear anyone talk about: perfects. Lots of newer players get demoralized when they get perfected (or feel amazing if they perfect someone else). You should speak a little about why perfects aren’t a huge deal in 3S and even the best players in the world lose matches that way sometimes. Often times new players let it get to their heads and they totally crumble in subsequent matches, regardless of whether or not they were on the receiving end.
This upcoming thursday i believe we are going to be streaming with iplaywinner again. check out our websites for the specific timing. also we will be taking care of the 3s tourny at so cal regionals. check them out too.
on another note. i need 5000 dollars to keep the site up. donate all your money, sell your kids, sell your body to donate to me. its all bout the money baby fuck the haters.
to be honest, I actually remember thinking “ok, we’re gonna keep this strictly 3s”, but it just didn’t happen, yet people actually started asking for more off topic stuff, so we were glad to provide it! i only wish i had more pictures of the girls instead of dozens of pictures of us just standing outside smoking/drinking/without our clothes on
