Creating the 3rd Strike Database

[FuryFox]

Agreed.
He had the idea for a fan art section which, in the bounds of the characters sections I think would blend just fine. My idea was along the lines of a generator. Remember the whole "Make your own SVC: Chaos versus pictures" Generators? Yeah, that but instead for 3S.

Not totally sure if these two ideas go together, but I'd totally be down for doing 3S character art for the site. Put together, it looks like the art would need to be formatted a bit specially to fit a "versus" screen, so people might need to know in advance to provide properly. ...or, I guess the versus screen could just have images formatted as big squares, so maybe it wouldn't be a problem.

Granted, not exactly a huge priority a far as the site's concerned, but I'd probably get started as soon as I knew what the need was.

I tend to stay away from the Shoto character. i love Oro. i don't really have stratagy for him though. i just kind of counter and set up.s.mk+grab,double jump fakes,close strong+jumping SA1,and i lure with wake ups by being within attack range but out of throw range.plus ex ball is gourgous for low jumpers.crouching f has good priority,and good stun damage. Some good stuff on Oro would be much appreciated. I think he is vastly underused. Oh and did i mention that max SA1(throw i think)is invincible until the grab animation is finished. i had a chun player do sa2,i did max sa1 and went through the whole thing,grabbed and ko.super goodest. i have gone through pretty much every super there is...including Gils meteor super. So uh yeah...Oro would be nice.

...what?

You have to read my earlier post. In the second post, I now have some other idea to offer, in addition to the first one.

Convoluted? Yes.

Oh. I get you.

...I think. Our combined contribution of nothing has spread into a few too many posts now.

FuryFox: Oh, what I meant was that under each character's section they would have their own seperate fan art section. I was speaking layout wise =X

In the event that you actually do draw something, I will do a backflip. I still whore out that Master Kitty all the time.

I'm glad someones finally taking this on. I play SF3 casually, but I'd like to get better. The problem I have is that there is this huge gap in the online knowledge base. I can get move lists, and then... frame data?... but nothing in between.

Here's a perfect example. I was checking out shoryuken.com for info about target combos and kara-cancels, because I heard someone mention those terms at the arcade and they were really good. I found tons of in-depth technical info about timing and inputs, but there was nothing that told me what a kara-cancel actually is. I poked around for about a half hour and then just gave up.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I tried to get the brady guide, too, but it's sold out everywhere around here.

its canceling a move into a special/throw. It makes your character move forward with the move you would have done, then execute whatever comes next.

I didn't read the suggestion but character artwork for characters in the particular games would be cool. Not just your typical sprite/animation galleries but actual galleries done for all of the characters in art books and whatnot. Also, fanart.

Other than I don't know why you'd need an entire database for the game, unless you were planning on having rankings and whatnot. But in order to do that you'd have to have it on Xbox Live and hold tournaments and whatnot.

I like using ken, but I don't play him cheap like that. But now I've moved on to Ibuki.

I really want to see this site come to fruitation, I've been waiting for something this comprehensive on anything to came out for a long time. And the Brady guide is good compared to the other shit they put out. Except Star Ocean 3, that's a pretty good one.

Well, I don't think it's going to happen anymore thanks to what would have been my biggest help being a total idiot. Basically, in the past few days the guy who was going to actually be writing half the strategy on the site for the first run through has been shitting all over the idea of the site entirely. Sure, he'll be the one to bring it up, he'll be the one to ask me how the layouts are going, and then he'll start shitting on it. So heres an AIM log from tonight-

Sl1p For Reals: So I was thinking about what you were saying about how the site would be worthless to expert players
Sl1p For Reals: So why do we have to worry about that so much? If it gets large enough to warrent a community, there there you go
l33t Emphasys: yeah...
l33t Emphasys: it probably won't.
l33t Emphasys: that's the thing.
Sl1p For Reals: Then why are we doing it =p
l33t Emphasys: you can stop then.
l33t Emphasys: .-.
Sl1p For Reals: I might as well if you're just going to shit all over it constantly.
l33t Emphasys: =)
l33t Emphasys: well, i wouldn't be offering to help out in the first place then
l33t Emphasys: so,
Sl1p For Reals: Considering that all you do is shit all over it
Sl1p For Reals: I don't think you were helping to begin with anyways
l33t Emphasys: i was GONNA
l33t Emphasys: then i realized,
l33t Emphasys: MAN,
l33t Emphasys: that's so much work.
Sl1p For Reals: ...
Sl1p For Reals: You wouldn't be doing ANYTHING compared to what I would be doing
Sl1p For Reals: All you would have to do is write a few stupid paragraphs
l33t Emphasys: yes.
Sl1p For Reals: If that is considered SO MUCH WORK than you are extremely lazy.
l33t Emphasys: stupid paragraphs.
l33t Emphasys: indeed, i think i am.

Technically, I can still do this but it will just be a lot harder. I saw this coming from the very start though. It was really just a matter of time for the prick.
