Creating the 3rd Strike Database

[Sl1p]

It's fun when I go to MGL and 12 year old little asian boys see the white kid playing Hugo, so they come running with their SA3 Ken and then swear me up and down for psychic Megatoning their retarded asses.

I really really really hate Ken players. There has never been a game with tier whoring before that I have hated more than this one. Sagat in CVS2? Very managable. Xianghua in SC2? Not much of a problem. Ken in 3S? Un-fucking-stoppable. You know the cr.mk is coming, but they know that if they throw it out about 30 times a match they're bound to hit it once or twice and thats all they need. Or oh! My favorite! The guessing wake up game! Is it crouching fierce or is it standing medium punch? How can you find out? Why, squint your eyes and guess the animation! Oh snaps! You actually went to block? You're hella dumb, throw for you. Lets jump this time- uh oh, st.mp got you into fp into whats that? SA3? WHOA~!

Urien is fun just because the the EX Headbutt can link into just about anything. Plus the Aegis unblockable and fun corner traps that it can lead to. The best is to get someone to the corner, throw the Aegis out behind them and then knock them backwards into it as it comes back into screen, then just elbow, ex headbutt, ex charge and whatever else it goes into. Our friend Jimmy plays an insane Urien and practically travels people back and forth with him. It's good times.

I'd be pretty interested in the canon histories and stories, since I don't think Capcom's really ever put out anything in the US that included that.

Maybe we should just give random 3rd Strike advice in this thread until your site goes up, for anyone that asks.

And rama, Ibuki's a pretty popular character. Here's some basic stuff you can do with her: get in close and do a standing jab. Take a half step forward and do another jab. It has frame advantage and such high priority most characters (ugh, not Chun though) will get hit out of whatever they were trying. Mix it up with a one-two jab jab or throw if they start to block. Yay! Always pick her knives super so you have plenty of ex to work with... um, do her standing medium into everything (command grab and ex yah-yah kicks, whatever they're called), uhhh if you're playing with someone that sucks, get them in a corner and sweep them, roundhouse them again to reset them, then sweep them when they land. They'll keep getting hit until they decide to block low. Don't throw out that neck-breaking slide; it's like asking to be punished. Do her ex rising kick thing, cancel it into the knives super... there's a lot more you can do with her. She's CRAAAZY!

oh, no, it's not that i have any problems working with her. actually, yesterday i tore ass with her against a friend of mine who usually beats me to a pulp. i'm comfortable with using her and all, but i was just throwing out a name as an example. like in the new 3s strategy guide they say that 12 is weak and all he has is "blah blah blah" when i don't really find it true since i've used 12 quite efectively. i just want some balance and thought put into character reviews....and i mean some long term stuff. you can't just pick up a character for a week and figure everything out. actually, that would be cool: on going character coverage. you find something new or useful, post it up on the site. yes. i'd appreciate that greatly.

oh, i didn't see all the tips up there. thanks. i knew pretty much all that stuff. the thing about ibuki is her damage. she doesn't do a lot, but she has a ton of moves so i just mix it up with this and that. it keeps myself and other players on their toes. and i pretty much stick with her ground kunai super. it's quick and catches peoples feet. i love it. hey, i'd like to contribute to some tips and strats with her, actually.

Nono, Twelve really is worthless. He has absolutely nothing to punish anything, especially without meter. One of my friends yesterday totally wiffed a Shoryu Reppa. What was the most I could do to punish it?

A standing fierce punch.

BUT...We will do our best to get him up to at least lower-mid tier. And yes, we will have on going character coverage as time goes on, constantly building on what we have.

lol, this is true. i'd just go for a throw myself, but he's very fun to poke with.

I'd like to see the site get into some of the more basic stuff that they didn't have room to expand upon in the 3s guide. Things like basic frame-for-frame examples of when to cancel with pictures (I still have trouble judging when to super-jump cancel with Chun-Li and Ibuki). Things like that could help me not suck like the Brady guide has already.

I don't know if this has been said yet, and I don't want to ruin your fun, but why not go to www.shoryuken.com for 3S info. They have a separate part of the forum dedicated to 3S and then it separates even further to discuss each character's strategies. Trust me, the place can use a lot more talk outside of Yun and Ken strategies.

[Sl1p]

Because that's a fucking forum that you have to dig through and then have to be a member to respond to and then chances are you still won't find what you're looking for, and in the event that you do, you still wasted a lot of time digging and dealing with their crappy server.

We know what is out there, we know peoples options. We know what we're doing.

Hmm, sounds like a great idea, you should have a small profile for each character, that depicts alot of the backstory of Street Fighter, as well as personal opinions on the characters and tactics you could use with them. Mix history with tactic. It wouldn't hurt to advertise a little bit with a few sick wallpapers.

I have nothing to add to this thread except that I'm the Ken-whore Sl1p hates.

This is a great idea. Considering I'm that guy who loves 3S but hasn't really scratched the surface of everything it has to offer, I'm excited to see this when it comes together.
