Dude seriously why the hell hasn’t this thread been closed yet!? Nothing productive is going to come from this but constant bickering from both sides. If there isn’t any nude pics of Chun, Ibuki, Makoto, or Twelve then there’s no need to have this thread open anymore.
All this “cool” TS hate makes me fucking sick.
Go ahead and name ONE fighting game that people don’t hate. Go ahead. People hate every damn FG out there. You got people who hate KOF/ST/GG/AH/MVC/CVS/MB/VF/Tekken/SS/Garou/RBFF/SFA/SFIV/TVC/MK/KI.
And like I said before it would help if people stopped making 3S threads every damn week.
And I don’t like 3S. What? I only played the game at first because I liked how Akuma looked. It’s not “cool” hate. It’s genuine hatred. People hate 3S. So what of it?
Shaq Fu?
It’s true, everyone on SRK hates everything. This is fact. But a good half of the 3S haters were born in Viscant’s parrying thread from a couple years back, and the majority of them were 3S players.
Hahah, Pablo you are such a Marvel player. :lovin:
I hate Shaq Fu with a passion! I’m not saying this either out of spite for all the hate going on in here. Just because you are good at basketball doesn’t mean you got to make a video game proving to the world that you are the Bruce Lee of the sport and be realistic about the shit. WTF is up with that nigga fighting mummys and gypsy and shit. At least put some realistic mutha fuckaz in there like Jordan, Barkley, hell Penny Hardaway would work, but nah this mutha fucka has to fight Sci Fi creatures and shit. Fuck Shaq! I hope that nigga gets osteoporosis.
FGD picks on 3s all the time cuz it’s like theory fighter; you can always win no matter what the situation is. :))))
Let’s just say I’m sporting my own Erection avvie IRL.
extreme narcissism
Yes, 3S was a mistake.
Also, you’re adopted.
I’m right there with you on that. Being an artist is a good excuse not to have a day job though. 
I read that thread, and while Viscant made some good points, some of his arguments smacked of “this game doesn’t cater to my play style so it sucks.” 3S is a totally different game than any of the SF2 games and his argument about it lacking in mind games really doesn’t hold up if you’ve spent time with the game and tried to come up with some mind games. The fact that the combat in 3s takes place in much closer quarters than in the SF2 games makes for a necessity for different strategies than what one might use in ST. He’s right that parrying is broken, but the way he talks sometimes, it seems like he thinks everyone to ever play the game is a parry master by virtue of the fact that it’s in there and that none of the mind games he’s talking about could ever even begin to work.
2 questions:
Q1. For the people claiming 3rd Strike was a mistake, what do you think would have happened if it simply weren’t released? Or if an alternate SF3 were released that more closely mimicked SF2?
Do you honestly think things would be that different now? I mean, if you think about it, Alpha 3 was the SF3 that people claim they would have wanted. It has ALL the characters from ST, new characters, lots of new play styles, lots of zany action…and, it was on hardware that could be ported easily.
And, it did pretty well at the time.
And then Capcom went on to make some more fighting games…more Marvel, CvS, SFEX (via Arika), etc.
And, then they stopped making fighting games for several years when tastes/technology changed and arcades declined. SF3 or no SF3, that was still going to happen.
The only difference is that without SF3 we wouldn’t have a game that helped keep the series alive within the FG community during that hiatus.
Q2 How much of a game’s overall income comes from the arcade release (circa '97) and how much comes from the subsequent console release?
I’d imagine that console sales make up a very large portion of a games overall income. So, when I first heard that SF3 took 5 years to make back what it cost, I actually didn’t think “wow, what a failure”. I thought “wow, how did it do that with no legitimate console release and so little exposure?”
On the MvC2 note, how many of those 56 chars are poor clones of the chars at the top(or higher than they are)?
:hp: :lk: :l: :lp: :lp: then hit me with fucking anything. Good fucking gravy. Yes, the good is fucking the gravy. God fuck us.
whoops haha
I see shotos (cable, cyclops, ken,ryu, akuma, dan, sakura, capamerica, spiderman, hayato, all have the same principles)
ironman, warmachine, and sentinel all play very similarly (even dhalsim plays similar to them… which is weird)
doom plays like ironman, at least in terms of combo structure…
and yeah…you’re right…there might be about 25 actually DIFFERENT characters in the game overall…nobody’s spiral or omegared… lol
on another note… akuma, ryu, ken, sean? yun/yang… similar characters, but not the same, just like MvC2’s example… yeah.
Whoooooaaa hold on…
Third Strike is hard?
Okay see, now THAT is something new to bring to the 3s Discussion table.
Also, there aren’t strictly 2 characters to play in 3s…there’s 3.
What do you think this is, Street Fighter 1?
HOHOHO GOOD SIR, SURELY YOU JEST
HOHOHHH BULLY
itt the lone dragon tries to validate 3rd strike to the rest of the board so he doesn’t look like a 3s babby
Isn’t Twelve nude by default?
i can care less about a story
if i did i would play an rpg
