You can tell a GGPO player is a SF4 scrub by how much they mash cr.LP :rolleyes:

A-Trak

I'm actually quite looking forward to this. Played a decent amount of 3s on xbox and in the arcade when it came out, despite me being completely sh1t at it - It's still a lot of fun even at low level play.

Aren't you a SF4 scrub Kiki?

Bit of an over reaction there Farz, but it's all good

I love 3s, game I put the most time into. It really is a great game. But I like a lot of other FGs too, so I wouldn't say I'm solely dedicated to it, but most of my time has gone into it

YouTube support will be on both platforms though x360 will get the function via a title update near launch (possibly at launch but can't promise depending upon approvals). Not sure who would have told Eurogamer that bad info.


Date will be shared once we have approved code from MS and Sony (worldwide) and confirmed prop slots.

aha

This. Dragon punches are ridiculous in IV. Am dying to get my hands on the shotos from 3S again, especially ryu's EX side kick that capcom blatantly robbed from Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat. Coolest move he's ever had. I don't know why they didn't put that into more SF games.

I have to admit, as someone who never really got into 3S for lack of proper competition on it when it was out, i'm a bit daunted by the level of the competition i'll be running into on 3S. There are players out there who treat it like a religion, (present company included) and i just don't have the time in my life to stay frosty anymore...:(. All the new stuff in SFIV has pretty much eluded me. I'm basically still playing it like it was SSF2T, which just doesn't cut it when people start pulling out some of the crazier sh1t you can do in IV.

I think i'll seriously start visiting a few casuals just to try to hook up with players of my own (sadly now crap) level and get some evenly matched games that don't result in me chewing on my controller in rage.

the 1st hardter

Could they not have done a better scene for create history???

OMG HE PULLED OFF REMYS SUPER, Truely he is a god among men

But yeah been tearing up GGPO for the last week getting hype for this. . . .and getting destroyed

Rob2D

I must go back into GGPO now myself and get prepared.

I totally agree with you about the poor choice of scene. And they showed it twice!

the 1st hardter

Well if ya ever feel like it I'm always up for 3S, username is hardter in GGPO. If I'm ever online just challenge me. (I'm not very good atm since I forgot how to tech well, I keep pressing back instead of forward)

Placebo

I would have said the same thing about picking remy till I saw some matches on "the shends" YouTube. seems 3s players still finding new combos and such

30 minute hands-on with Third Strike Online Edition from Gamespot & Seth Killian. The game looks awesome. It's easy to see that it's been made with pure fan service in mind, there are so many improvements and nice little touches while preserving all the original best bits.

Looks like it will be the definitive version of the game. I wonder if they will opt to release it on a disc instead of just the DLC option.

I'm really looking forward to this, I have not been bothered playing 3s recently, been too much absorbed into AE, I booted up 3s on xbox yesterday and wow I'm rusty as ****. Drilled some combos but I just forget like... what to do, if that makes sense. It took me some games vs the AI to get into the swing of it. I can't wait to buss up heads when this is released, I'm so hyped for it

I'm looking forward to it too. I never really got too much into 3S, it was released in a kind of street fighter hiatus for me, and i never played it much on GGPO because thats a mega hardcore community, and if you're learning you're basically a punchbag for god-tier yun and chun whores, which is no fun. There's no option for a level playing field.

I always liked the technicality of ST (and later HD remix), and i kinda have a love hate relationship with 4 ( i know it's fantastic, and i really really want to love it and be good at it, but every time i play it for any length of time it makes me want to kill myself), so I'm kind of hoping that 3S OE will sit right between the two and will feel like a sweet spot for me. Proper 2D and with a decent execution barrier, and not a noob friendly mash fest, but with enough features and a varied enough user base to train me in stuff like parrying, frame counts, move properties, etc without me getting my ass handed to me the whole time.

I already own 3 different versions of third strike, and to be honest, none of them are excellent, but this looks like it might be different. Oh well, it looks like capcom has pulled the same old trick on me again and gotten me to re-buy a game I've already paid for multiple times.

My GOD, they're good at milking their fans and pimping out their legacy for a quick buck

Ramza

In fairness I think an arcade perfect port with the GGPO netcode is reason enough to buy it imo, and for the price that's fantastic

Placebo

in their defense, the fans wanted this game. We asked for it.

Yeah, i'd agree completely. Even if it was rubbish (which it most certainly won't be), for the €14 or thereabouts they'll be charging for it, you really can't go wrong. I'd love a disc release, but DLC is a way cheaper route to market.

On that point, it's not really street fighter related, but my only niggle with DLC is that we're coming to the end of the current generation of consoles. This looks like being the definitive version of 3S, and I'm wondering whether it will still be playable online in a couple of years cos of the hardware switch?

I really hope microshaft and fony get the whole back compatibility thing right with the next gen of consoles, particularly in relation to the DLC model and online play. DLC and online multiplayer have really only become mainstream during this generation, and I'm tired of re-buying new versions of games i already own when new consoles come out. I must have bought more versions of street fighter games over the last 20 years than any other franchise.

But how much game play (time) did you get out of them?

Surely Capcom are well within their rights to charge you 50 per 500hrs gameplay?

This is not the way to get your points taken seriously.

Exactly how I feel.I think this version will open up the series to a wider audience.A playing field that i'll be able to gradually learn from..with loads of online handicaps players to make me feel good
GGPO scares me,I learn nothing from being kicked about by a player with 10 years experience,again and again

Owwmykneecap

GGPO has a surprisingly high number of handicaps online.
