Street Fighter III - Third Strike Online Edition-released

Naphiel

I find it odd that random isn't blind pick but from what I've played so far it's been a positive thing. Normally my opponent will be over someone high tier like Chun but when they see me over one of the low tier characters like Remy or Q they always do the same.

I threw 853 projectiles in that one session.


For that alone, the game was worth 15 quid.

And that is why I may never play it again.Being introduced to the game by playing against you as Remy and your projectile happy game has frustrated and soured my experience
On another note, Farz rage quit on me

Some American scrub bounced into our Hugo vs Alex Wrestlemania session and started bull****ting with his godawful connection and SF4 Flowchart Ken.

Can you save other people's matches? Was in a tourney and I lost at semis but the finals had a really good necro (good enough to impress a day 1 3rd strike player) so I saved the tournament afterwards but it only saved the matches I was involved in.

Loving this game but hope they can sort out how long it takes to play...

It's embarrassing to see how bad my inputs are without the SF4 shortcuts.

I am failing double-fireball motions all over the place.

Owwmykneecap

Ranked matches don't work.
Lobbies have several glitches
Ping doesn't work.
No regional matchmaking as far as I can see ( I thought i saw it earlier..)
GGPO sucks on mediocre to bad connections, but we always knew that.

This thing is gonna need a big patch.

Ramza

Ranked is too free right now... just gonna wait till it gets better but ranked 4 Urien atm

Me and Chunkis are FT10 tomorrow and DooM is gonna record, it should be good, hope you guys enjoy it

Azure_sky

I heard a rumor that there will be DLC characters for this game. Not sure how plausible it is but Poison's sprite is already in the game and maybe some SFIV characters could make an appearance as chronologically SF3 takes place after SFIV.

Been waiting ages for a game. This shouldn't happen.

Yep, definitely. It needs to be sorted out. That, and finding games by ping is not easy, i'm on 360 and the connection stats haven't been displaying for me. I joined a few rooms last night and the only way i could see how far away the host was was by checking his location on his gamer card while i waited in line.

I've seen quite a few of those guys with DC % in the thousands. Wierd glitch.

Scavenger XIII wrote: »

No i think i saw an option. Just create a room, like normal, and set all the slots in it to private.

F*ck SF4 inputs, i think this game is the perfect sweet spot for execution. As a former SSF2T player, the input in that game was bloody demanding, there were TINY windows to input things. SF4 is the other end of the spectrum, too easy, to the point of moves coming out accidentally, and the shortcuts hinder me more than help me. I think 3S is just right. I wish i had gotten into it years ago.

Owwmykneecap wrote: »

Yep, from a short session last night there are a few niggles with it that are a bit annoying. The biggest issue i had was the lack of ping display. It's quite hard to search, find, and join a room with a low ping without trial and error. It's a case of join, queue up for a game, start playing, and THEN find out you're on a sh1t connection. Ping display like in SSF2T HD Remix lobbies would be perfect.

One good point about owning it on 360 though, is that as far as i know, the XBL launch process allows for one free patch as part of releasing a game on their servers, so capcom will be doing something with it, probably in a few months. I'm sure feedback like this is being taken on board.

What gets me is that capcom have gotten all this stuff right before, and yet they keep changing the formula on different games. For my money, take HD Remix's netcode, ping display, lobbies, blind picking systems, and add SSFIV AE's replay and channel management, and this game's button config, and you're sorted. Why do they keep messing with the formula for everything?

I hope not. They should keep it faithful to the original. DLC characters would only mess with the balance of it and lead to old vs new version arguments. It's a great release (minor un-patched niggles aside) and a lot of people seem willing to get behind it. They should leave it at that, and keep the DLC to unlocks, colours, music, stages, and all the other stuff that has no effect on the core gameplay.

It's Fubarback, a bunch of vet 3s players, and a Japanese grandmaster 3s player who's with Fubarduck who are reporting problems, and they're using the lagless setup they used for the SBO qualifiers.

imo the problem is mostly likely due to the PS3 usb input delay (affects all games, this is the reason why PS3 on SF4 has 2 frames of input delay as well).

And afaik Uber the PS3 HDR problems were to do with reversals not coming out sometimes, which definitely makes the game tournament unplayable, but isn't nearly as bad as people not being able to do fireballs.

There's about as much chance of there being DLC characters in this game as the Taoiseach making me 'Minister For Pussy'........

cowboy outfit Ken dlc pleez

Does anybody know if there are any guides to the unlockables online anywhere yet, what stuff can you unlock, and how?

I know there are 2nd impact costume colours that are unlocked for each character you beat the story mode with, but not much else. Does the 80 ms points DLC unlock for the dip switches (xbox) give you access to any of the music/artwork/etc as well?

My staple is PS2 pad I've been using Xbox pad, weirdly enough I'm fine on it, it took me a while to get back into the swing of 3s but when I get going it just all comes back. I'm grand, I tend to drop Urien's double tackles a lot but I need to training mode that **** up

Otherwise I'm grand

NO NO NO NO

But I'm maining Hugo now. Stupid trial 2 is slightly broken. Does not register sometimes even though you land full combo

Scavenger XIII

A good few of them just don't like registering.

It might be because the dummy never blocks so you can't really tell if you're dropping a link the game expects you to get, but why the hell would they not have the dummy block to show it if the game is checking for it?

Maybe it's just broken I dunno.

Yeah kinda hard to try get combos down but the game tells me I am getting it wrong.....

ogiekeaney

ok this may sound weird but has anyone else played invisible players on ranked?

the character was just not there but when i checked back in replay he was.. i won the match anyway

seems hella scrubby online so far. i won 15 games in a row having never played the game before.:cool:

Only tried once online. Did not see any issues, besides fighting someone ranked 49 and getting destroyed

K.O.Kiki

As Hugo, hold down Start or select at the beginning of the round, then taunt. Voila, Poison sprites.
If there are "new" characters, i'll eat my hats.

Monkeyto

Today the ranked battles seem much better on the ps3. And because I'm able to get games, I'm now finding this game to be very fun.

I'm using Ryu, never used Ryu before, but in this one the Denjin Fireball is too cool to turn down.

EX axe kick > wall bounce is wicked too. It's becoming painfully clear that akuma is fantastic on the attack but has zero stamina or defence, so I may pick up ryu as a second for a more rounded set of options.
