not a huge fan of this one. could never get the hang of parry.

The game's about more than parry.

Also, what's so hard to get?
Tap forward INTO the attack just as it's about to hit. Repeat.

Knowing how to input parry and knowing how to use parry effectively aren't the same thing.

Adam taltsa sings it, but it doesn't say the name of the song.

Here's a big ass list of stuff that's in and not in the game. Highlights include:

Gill is playable after unlocking, but he's not usable in Ranked.
There's a random select on the character select screen.
You can immediately rematch instead of going back to the character select.
New Generation and Second Impact backdrops and character themes are not in the game. There is remixed versions of all themes available in addition to the original 3S ones.

And here's the full list:

GAMEPLAY AND GENERAL INFO

• This game is more arcade perfect than any console port of SF3 3s to date.

• Capcom said the GGPO experience with the console port is better than how GGPO played on the PC. Apparently they dialed in some of the settings a bit.

• There is a DLC (Downloadable Content) section, but Capcom couldn't talk about it yet.

• Gill is still playable, but he's an unlockable character. He's not available in any kind of ranked or tournament modes, though.

• A quick rematch feature exists along with a random character select option.

• Stage select before fighting somebody is now in the game.

• A couple of game crashing bugs were fixed. This is of the game crash/freeze fix variety, nothing that impacts gameplay.

• There won't be a PC release at launch, but it's not something that can be ruled out yet.

• Stun numbers and damage numbers will also be viewable.

• There's a two player training mode option, but it's offline only.

• You can check the credits list for the names of pro players in the community that were consulted when creating this title.

• No plans for a rebalanced patch at any point.

GRAPHIC OPTIONS

• Three filters in the game. Crisp, Smooth and None, in addition to the previously mentioned scanline filter.

• The graphic filters do not introduce any kind of input lag.

• In full widescreen mode, the image is stretched a little bit. There's a secondary widescreen mode which doesn't do any stretching and keeps the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

• Capcom went back and grabbed some of the original artwork from the game and rescanned it in HD. There's also some fan art in there as well.

• The sprites were not edited in any way, and if you want to see them how they were, you can turn off all of the graphical filters.

• Stage backgrounds from New Generation and 2nd Impact are not available in the vault as unlockables.

• All of the colors that were available in the home console versions are in this one as well.

MISC ONLINE STUFF

• A replay match database is searchable by keywords, player rank and other things. You can also put together a playlist.

• On the PS3 version, you can upload matches to your own YouTube account.

• There's a watch with friends feature, where you can download replays and talk with your friends while they're going on. For example, if there's a tournament, you can grab the matches from it and sit back and check them out with other people.

CHALLENGES AND UNLOCKABLES

• There are hundreds of dynamic challenges to take on. These are the achievements on the sides of the screen as you're playing, the left side for player 1 and the right for player 2. Players have to be signed into an account for the dynamic challenges to come up.

• There is over 200 pieces of unlockable content in the vault. Artwork, remixed themes and many other things.

MUSIC

• Remixed music and default music is available.

• All of the sounds and music were reripped in higher quality from the original arcade release. No sounds or voices were changed.

• New Generation and 2nd Impact character themes are not available.

On the PS3 version, you can upload matches to your own YouTube account.

Gah!

Ha. Favourite post I've read in a long while

Well youtube was announced for 360 so I assume you'll be able to do it on xbox too at some stage.

i really found this post offensive, i dont know why. Maybe because this is the best fighting game of all time ? evo moment #37 ? Maybe you're just a COD lover bush, maybe when ssf4:ae gets a bit old, you'll go back to fragging and respawning.

Orim

How can you not be a COD lover when they have great sites like this one :

I remember i first played it in singapore, then years after it got re-released for ps2 and i downloaded and thought i was the ****, soon after we were blessed with XBOX version which had live. The lagiest **** known to man.
I'd stay up till 4am to play the american folk because EU had litreally 5-6 players.

Later it got emulated and there was a huge outburst of new players. Heaven indeed. Years on after the popularity of SF4 etc - im happy its gonna get revived.
I love how hardcore people are about it too, eg: Ramza/Swedish/French, people solely dedicated to 3s. It truly does have a cult following.

I dont expect people that started playing fighting games with SF4 to understand this at all but Third Strike really is a perfect gem, in its own way.

When all the Ken scrubs from IV switch it on and find themselves unable to do dragon punches, I will smile.

That event spoiled my nice uniform friends list. 23 out of 24 friends playing SF.

I dunno why your posting that like I should be ashamed or something. Ive been playing that game since cod1 and ill continue to play it. Sorry im not hardcore enough into SF that I ignore every other game out there.
I dunno why you presume that anyone who doesnt like sf3 must be some kind of noob who started playing with sf4. I played sf2 in the arcades just as much as I play sf4 now. Some people just dont like sf3.
