10 years from now, SFIII: Third Strike will probably become like what ST is today. A classic game that rarely gets played anymore outside of Japan.
New Street Fighter games and other fighters would have come and gone.
What are some things that people will remember about this game 10 years from now?
Discuss.

  • Kuroda

  • Daigo parry against Justin Wong in EVO 2004

  • Match videos community on the internet

  • RX, me and Sugiyama almost winning SBO in fairytale style, 2007

evo moment #37…Kuroda san…first time us saw Tokido’sUrien…Pizza Beast’s retirement…Nuki’s commentary…RX WANTED combo vids…FFA…Rockerfeller for helping to propel the entire “fighting game commentary over the internet” paradigm…my local arcades where I first learned 3S :frowning:

I don’t want to turn this into another Rockefeller appreciation thread, but this can’t be stressed enough. He definitely deserves more credit for popularizing fighting game commentary in the US; I was glad to hear James Chen giving him props for it during that SRK podcast.

Personally for me.

Ayehood ocving Pyro/Gootecks/Sextaro. ([media=youtube]23ASmDoLiog&feature=related[/media]) this was hella sick to me 3 years ago haha
Rockafella podcast
5star/Pyro podcast (listened to that alot in highschool)
Inoue Japan
Victolys posture while playing. Or just how sick he is ingeneral.
MOV at Denjin.
Learning how to handle mental stops and making sure I stay humble.
Sitting in the car outside of FFA talking about 3s strategys for hours after closure.
The friends that I’ve met, the many many good times.

Much more, would have to think about it though.

Wow seeing your list metric makes me realize how long 3s has been a part of my life, and even though it’s never been a MAIN part it has always been there in the background for the last 6-7 years or something. So many nice memories already, hope there will be more of them 10 years from now though. 3s for life <3

first time i saw that kuroda best at every character list and then related the first time i saw a kuroda dvd

18

can we say
kuroda vs ino is THE best 3S video of all time and if theres any video i want remembered

that could explain the depth of this game its that one.

pretty at all levels of play

Those FFA ranbats were amazing and yes I’m still waiting on the Sanchez using SAII Alex vid!

Since we’re mentioning players, I think if there’s someone who deserves to be remembered, it should be KO.

He’s been absent from the 3S world these days because of Gundam, but for a little under a decade he has been one of the most dominating players. Mester was the first SA3 Yun, but KO took him way further, winning Evo twice against Daigo at his peak. Despite never winning SBO, he’s the one who has made the most consistent performances with at least Top4 finishes every year except 2008. He’s just as big an influence on the Japanese as Kuroda; Boss and Roshihikari were well-known Yang players, but KO made Yang popular(with Roshihikari admitting this during one of the Bingo tournaments).
