My Pic Is for #4 Kishin Riki/Tsui. I mean common, Kishin Tsui is like throw you so high up that your on fire because of your fucking entry speed. not to mention Oro lands on you with his fucking head. thats just plain sick!
I don’t know how to quote, so please forgive me in regards to that, but anyways…
Son of a Glitch - Actually, I’d agree somewhat with this guy. I know it does crap damage, but Hadou-Burst does look painful. It’s like Sean is throwing a chunk of concrete into your midsection and you just coil up and fly across the screen. Pretty nice. If Sean wasn’t a borderline joke, I’d consider it.
Funny story about Sean’s Hadou-Burst, the first time I ever played 3rd strike I picked Sean. I only really had experience with fireball supers in the past, so I picked it just off of the name. I was playing with a friend who was also playing for the first time. It was the third round, he was Elena, and he did a super jump towards me. Thinking in my mind he’s absolutely fucked (he had a shred of health left), I threw out the Hadou-Burst. He just parried it in one hit, roundhoused me in the face, and won the match. We both just sat there for a second before bursting into laughter at how much of a joke that was.
Kal el - Totally agree with you. That would hurt INSANELY bad.
Brilliantnaoki - I excluded Gill just because he’s a boss, but yeah, that meteor super is pretty fantastic. I’d also think Seraphic (sp?) Wing could make it. It’s just one long and intense burst of kick-yo’-ass-out-your-mouth.
thedude.com - What?
Das_Lynx - The problem I had with You-Hou and also Makoto’s SA I is that depending on the character, it’s tough to see where exactly it’s going to hit. I wanted some more consistent stuff for the list, but they are both definitely worthy.
ParryAll - Thanks for the compliments! I actually do write a lot and I’ve had some stuff published, but nothing serious. Q’s Total Destruction is good, but I’d only say it’s brutal if the opponent survives, or it just ends up being an instant surge of pain. If they make it through the explosion of the grab, not the punch, I’d imagine being burned all over your body would indeed be maximum horrificness.
shoryuken + shippu jinrai kyaku = brutal , getting a punch at the belly , then hatchet kicks all over you …and …fly off …
How can Shin Shoryuken not be at the top of that list? You can practically feel the bones breaking when it hits!
Point blank Ibuki SA2. That has to hurt.
Seichusen goddamnzuki looks rough as well.
Seraph Wing.
Electric Snake :lol:
How can StunGun be #1?? this thread sucks!!!
hmmmm.
i looked at the list again and i’m not so sure i’d rank Yang’s SA1, Ibuki’s SA3 and Ken’s SA2 as “brutal.” i consider them more on the flashy/visually appealing side. when i see “brutal,” i’m thinking something that actually looks painful. so with that said, i’d put some of what others have suggested in the list, i.e., Q’s SA3, Makoto’s SA1, Yun’s SA1, etc. come to think of it, i’d put Alex’s SA1 and SA2 there as well. Boomerang Raid doesn’t do much damage in the game, but if you’re talking looking brutal, i’d say it’s right up there.
:rock:
werd.
When I started reading this thread, I half expected rolling thunder to be #1. 
This should be #1 I call this super the Abortion when I play Girls(Makato,Chun Li,Ibuki,Elena)all 3 of his supers are pretty Hard:tup:
Yeah, Double Deadly should be #1. And I’m not even a Q player!
Agreed. I would put deadly double at the top. I always feel like shit if I get hit by it.
Gigas Breaker should be #2.
Actually, now that I think about it, Akuma’s Raging Demon should be #1, then #2 Double Deadly Combination and #3 Gigas Breaker.
Or maybe RD and DD Combo could tie… It’s close between them…
Update May 23
HERE’S AN UPDATE OF THE LIST BASED OFF OF THE GENERAL OPINIONS OF THOSE WHO HAVE RESPONDED, NO NEW DESCRIPTIONS, SORRY…
(Also posted in the 3rd Strike XBL Forum)
Today, work was slow. I’m talking insanely slow. I came up with the idea to make up a list off of the top of my head of my favorite super arts in SF III. Not because they do the most damage or they are the best for the character, but simply because they just look freakin’ painful. So, here they are.
#10 - Yami-Shigure (Ibuki SA III)
At first glance, this super art is easily to overlook in terms of awesomecore-ness. If you pay attention, you can see exactly what happens: First off, Ibuki immobilizes her opponent by THROWING KUNAI THROUGH THEIR OWN FEET. Even Jesus would wince at that shit. Next, she slashes at their mid-section multiple times back and forth so fast and hard the outline of her body blurs. Once this is finished, you land on the ground in a similar fashion to Yang’s SA I, with an equally “I just got my shit ruined” look on your face.
#9 - Tyrant Punish (Urien SA I)
#8 - Houyouku-Sen (Chun-Li SA II)
While we’re all probably desensitized to how bad-ass this super art is from seeing about a bajillion times (usually two-three times per match), that doesn’t mean it doesn’t look insane! Imagine some crazy bitch with thighs like telephone poles flying at you with that raging PMS charm in her eyes :mad: , then hitting you with a flurry of kicks that stuns you to the point that you are left wide open for yet ANOTHER flurry of kicks. Right when you think it’s all over, you get slammed with a heel to your jaw that sends you flying about fifteen feet in the air, at which point she’s free to fly up right after you and juggle your brutalized body in any way she likes. That simply has got to suck.
#7 - Stun Gun Headbutt (Alex SA III)
A personal favorite, and one of the main reasons I started playing as Alex and kept with the game. I believe it is the most brutal super art I have ever seen, but this is debatable. To fully appreciate its value, simply imagine someone doing this in real life. I mean, picture a guy as buff as Alex, seven feet tall, flipping through the air several times before landing and grabbing his opponent. Using the momentum from the flips, he slams his skull into the other guys three times as hard as he possibly fucking can, then pausing for a second to really give it to him a fourth time. This hits the guy so hard he’s wobbly on his feet and is open to be destroyed in any fashion desired. It’s almost too awesome for words to describe. I bet the guys at Capcom who made this game fell alseep at night and dreamed of doing this move to their enemies as a crowd cheered them on, only to wake up in the morning with a smile. If anyone ever pulls this off in real life without the use of stunt wires or gymnastic equipment, I think the world would explode.
#6 - Rolling Thunder (Dudley SA II)
#5 - Shin-Shoryu-Ken (Ryu SA II)
Chosen above Ken’s SAII uppercut for one simple reason: the fact that the game actually goes in slow motion to show just how much pain the unfortunate soul on the receiving end of the definitive ultimate bitch-slap is in. Plus, after it is done, Ryu doesn’t even let you hit the ground before kicking your ass again.
#4 - Kishin-Riki/Kishin-Tsui (Oro SA I)
With only one hand, Oro grabs you by the face and slams you into the ground, picks you up and swings you back over his body and back into the ground again, repeating until he simply throws you aside like a pile of broken…stuff. What’s worse, if he manages to grab you in the air, he throws you to the ground and follows it up with a barrage of knees to the spinal cord. Pure and simple pain all over.
When Kishin-Tsui, the alternate form of the super art is activated with two punch buttons, Oro brings out his right arm only once to grab you, jump to a height that the game screen even says “fuck it” when thinking about zooming up to, and drops you on your jelly-filled cranium.
What makes this super art so great is the versatility with which it can wreck you. It has three different ways to make you cry like a little girl, something no other super art in the game can do (excluding X-Copy. also excluding Total Destruction because it only has two variations, although it does make you cry because of how bad it sucks.)
#3 - Shungokusatsu/RAGING DEMON (Akuma, available with SA I, II, & III)
One of the most feared and beloved supers of all time, the raging demon’s awesomeness has a lot to do with the mysteriousness of it. You never really see Gouki’s attack happen. In fact, all you do see is him grabbing his opponent, the screen going dark, a flurry of what can be assumed as punches and kicks being thrown, and last, his opponent lying on the ground. You don’t even see them fall. It’s just grab, rape, dead. To top that off, Gouki just stands there with his back to them, knowing they aren’t getting up. The definition of bad ass.
My friend Dave once speculated that the reason for the screen going dark is not that Gouki is hitting his opponent and Capcom wanted to create a dramatic atmosphere for the super, but that they needed to censor what was happening. This is because Akuma is, in fact, turbo-rapefucking his opponent within that second and a half. To this day, I still can’t look Dave in the eyes any more.
#2 - Gigas Breaker (Hugo SA I)
Dare I say, more brutal than the Final Atomic Buster? I think so. This is true due to two things: one is Hugo’s gigantic size, which dwarfs Zangief. The second is that having your spine snapped not once, but twice over his back is far more unpleasent than simply having to put up with your face in a sweaty Russian wrestler’s ballsack for a few seconds before being KTFO. Add in the fact that after this is done, he German belly-flops you into a pancake makes it all the more clear: this is probably the most brutal 720 throw you’ve ever seen.
#1 - Deadly Double Combination (Q SA II)
Do you know what a liver punch is? Anyone who has been hit with one of these will tell you it is probably one of the most painful things you can ever experience. We’re talking more pain than fishing hooks through herpes. Q dishes out an insane liver shot, immoblizing his oppenent in sheer pain for several seconds, and then using both his hands, he slams them down on your head. This bounces you off of the solid ground so hard (and physically impossibly) that you fly to unknown heights just to drop down in time for Q to ram his pimp-slappin’ piano glove into you one last time.
So, there it is, my top ten most brutal super arts in third strike. In conclusion, I’d like to thank God my boss didn’t catch me doing this, and welcome you all to comment or debate the list. Remember, no EX moves and such, strictly super arts.
I’d say Oro’s SA2 the big motherfucking thing ala dragonball
:tup: Aka - The Abortion:lovin:
Maybe I’m just jaded after years of its hype, but I don’t think the Raging Demon belongs on the list.
I mean, oh no, the lights go out and stuff happens. Spooky.
I’m not saying its number one, but Alex’s SA1 is pretty awesome if you snag them from behind.
Read up on what it actually is and what actually happens, then you might get it lol
