We need to kill this idea of one touch death combos or combos that a mini cutscene that you cant do anything while 70% of your hp is going down, is what makes a fighting game "deep" and "require skill" too.

This game was amazing at the time! My cousin and friends would spend the Saturday afternoon trying to beat it! How about Urban Regin? Not as nice but also lots of fun and also difficult!

The reason higher level players, seemingly go to training mode, learn a few combos and have success is because they already have the fundamentals down. Fighting games can be very different, but they do have a lot of similarities, and once you have the fundamentals down, to the level, they do, it makes it much easier.

Damn. Watching this video and remembering when I played the 1st Gradius game on the NES. I'm old lol. Never knew they had up to 5 of them 😅

I don't live near Mexico, but IN Mexico. Does that count?

I hope Live-service games will go away. The suits who run those big video game companies should realize that time is far more finite than money somebody can spend monthly on video games. You can buy new 5 games a month if you have a great job but you can't keep up with all the live-service games that are currently on the market

Oooooooooof. What an amazing review! I've subbed.

You did seem to have a blind eye for the recent games that actually have deep combat that allows for player expression. Hi-fi rush, assault spy, ff 16 to name a few.

16:50 as someone that's played Third Strike for 20 years, I have to correct you... In neutral, the first thing you're gonna do is whiff normals to build meter. That is probably the biggest difference to the other Street Fighter titles.

From a graphics perspective I cannot understand how anyone could possibly conclude that 3rd strike is not infinitely superior to 4 5 and 6 combined

This video is so perfecting for teaching people about fighting, and letting them know what it takes to break that skill barrier.

bro some love for Q

I have to disagree on Tekken. It is my favorite fighting game franchise. For me the next Tekken isn't always the best Tekken. My favorite is still Tekken Tag Tournament 1. Then Tekken 3. Tekken 4, Tekken 7, Tekken 5, Tekken 2, Tekken 1, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken 6. And in that order.

The best overview of 3rd strike I think I'v ever seen. I especially like the commentary on balance, something I'v thought for awhile is that the main way modern games balance large rosters is simply by making the characters more similar, they tend to do pretty much the same thing just slightly better or worse in some areas. In 3rd Strike by comparison you have some vastly different characters which exist together in the same game, such different characters with different win conditions playing against each other is a lot what makes the game so fun and diverse.

Hello Mark Electric Underground I would like to inform you that I had a dream where I was in an arcade convention and I bumped into you and wanted to talk about how you inspired me to start playing arcade games and you proceeded to call me a casual and started explaining why some Wario game was a masterpiece

Re4 HD Project is the definitive remake i need. Crazy how that version was the version i always remember playing 16 years ago on the hissy ps2 slim lol

I think re5 would benefit from the remake treatment tho. Fun as it was re5 was pretty clunky with how balls to the walls it tried to be back then

So what you saying is when tying dead fighting games that nobody plays and you have zero friends to play with. The thing to do will be training mode > story/arcade >Time Attack and just to grind to beat your own score in every difficulty and character?.... Sounds better that getting bodied at the rank by some randoms Edit: Also DOA: Dimensions on the 3DS played good and had lots of content. Try if ever get the chance

Great video. Goated channel. Every minute of the vid felt worthwhile unlike 99% of video essays on yt.

Here's some information: ROM discs, also known as replicated discs, pressed discs, stamped discs, comercial discs, with music, movies or video games, have a life expectancy of 1000 years. Why 1000 years you might ask? The polycarbonate layer of the disc is data layer, the pits and the lands, the binary code, where the music, movie or game is stored. Polycarbonate has a life expectancy of 1000 years. The problem is disc rot. And disc rot happens when the disc is exposed to high levels of humidity. It is not self-destruction! As long as you store the disc properly, it will last 1000 years. It's like books. They will last hundreds of years as long as you stored them properly, away from water and fire. If you think this is wrong, then go check what the inventors of the recordable M-DISC have to say about ROM-discs. HDDs and SSDs are not superior. These devices have a life expectancy of 5 years on average. The same for SD cards. These devices are not for storage nor archive. They are for work, constant and imediate access. And also for short term backups. Not storage nor archive. ROM-DISCs and Recordable M-DISCs are the best to store and archive digital media.

You got all the charactets at launch of the arcade, but you didn't get the opportunity to buy more characters of you want them. Plus no balancing with nerfs or buffs. My only issue with 3 is the playable characters, wish they had all the characters from alpha 3, then it would be a perfect game for the most part. For me 4 was the best then 3 then ST.

Learning the frames of 30+ characters is a monumental task for beginners who want to get serious.

so it's the greatest fighting game of all time?

26:50 excuse me? how do you avoid that?

AAA companies will do anything except make smaller scale games, every thing is millions of dollars and hundreds of people not to mention management oversight. Too many chefs in the kitchen spoil the soup.

They keep their souls game just let me play as the wacky wahoo Pizza man

My least favourite thing about Third Strike is that the 16:9 wide-screen option from 2nd Impact has been removed, and the backgrounds aren't as good. Amazing fighting game though, how can anyone hate it?

3s has so much depth and complexity. That's what makes it really fun. In general any character can be good as long as you know your character and the matchup. Being able to read your opponent helps too haha... I really got into SF4 but I lost interest when ultra came out. I played SF5 in the beginning but I was really annoyed with the mechanics. I lost interest even though revisions improved things.

3rd stroke Evo moment, Halo's Walshy and Ogres and Korean StarCraft is what catapulted e-sports into mainstream. I personally made a good living making customised arcade sticks for online 3rd strike players. Good times.

Some of us don't need scoring systems or evaluation to bring out the best in a game, but that's not very many of us. If I can do things that other people can't, I'm better at the game than them and the game doesn't need to tell me that. I noticed that with less hud elements screaming digits and data at me, the closer my sword is to the throats being cut.

Absolutely Fantastic video… I’m a fight game casual and have zero skill but I love observing the community and this video was extremely educational for me. Parts of it felt like an economic course on how to service a market with different products depending on the markets expectation and environment. Absolutely loved it. Subbed.

The way you describe it makes it sound reminiscent of DOA

The best thing about dmc is that its cool, literal uncensored coolness

I enjoyed the idea of the summons. The purpose wasnt to trigger it and play stationary it seems, the dev team wanted players to summon, use one move and combo into it seamlessly. When it works, it's beautiful, cause it feels like you can fight at all ranges, and always engaging (there are combinations for the summons too which is super cool) but I wanted a better enemy design to flesh this out of the player. When you can summon Madama Butterfly and mash your way through the tanks, why would you attempt the harder stuff? Devil May Cry 5 despite having a less mechanically fleshed out V, the game managed to find a good balance between you fighting from a far while still needing to expose yourself and get closer in order to get the kill or regenerate your pets. The main difference between V and Bayo is that V is meant to provide and occasional break from the core gameplay, giving you a more on your toes, meter management, dangerous experience which is contrasted by the intense and powerful char action of Dante and Nero. It even serves as a storytelling device interestingly enough. But the summons aren't a break from Bayo 3 gameplay, THEY ARE THE CORE OF IT lmao. My main complaint with Bayo 3 wasn't even the other stuff you get to do, cause I had fun with it sometimes. The rythmic opera level made me laugh, the shooter on rails section was cool and didn't overstayed it's welcome, my only issue were the (god-awful) godzilla sections. The main gripe I have is with it's presentation. Bayo 3 is ugly and not just in the graphical sense. The technological artstyle doesn't fit at all with this franchise. Much so that they needed to add this entire multiverse, globe-trottering stuff to iterate on this poor idea. Some levels visually kinda worked (China and Paris) others (Egypt, the Island) not so much. The enemy design is nothing inspired too. The angels were beautiful yet haunting the more you damaged them. The enemy behavior was also more refined. Damn, Bayo 2 looks like a next-gen game in comparison to 3 for just how prettier it looks. There's absolutely no color, and the whole purpose of Bayo 2 was to get rid of the filter that made Bayo 1 so brown. This angelic tone creates the feeling that your in a dance rather than a combat, which is the intended vision. With the robots, androids and techno aesthetic, this feeling is lost. You're not taunting and playing with God's beloved cherubim, you're just fighitng for your life against souless creatures. It's a step back in every way artistically imo which makes me wonder why the critics enjoyed it so much, cause they don't know shit about gameplay to sing the game's praises properly (even if it's just good attempts at experimenting with long range char action, which I commend them but don't justify a 10/10 imo).

SF3rd Strike is the best fighting game ever made. Is art.

Bayonetta and the wonderful 101 had a fantastic scoring system, the former I felt did surpass dmc in terms of depth and balancing. It really does encourage you to go for big finishes and vary up your playstyle.

It is so depressing when I run into my friends from highschool and they still like the same music, the same movies, and if they do like something new it's just something that blatantly rips off something they already liked. I can't imagine living that way.

On your first point regarding each SF game being different in the arcades and how modern fighters don't do that: I know MK isn't a competitive darling, but if there's something I do like about NRS' approach to game design is that each game they've made play in fundamentally different ways while maintaining that connective tissue of NRS' typical game feel.

Shame this game won't get translated by the dev because he got super mad over people pirating the game when it wasn't even available for purchase on DLsite prior and he goes out of his way to gatekeep Western players, even those who do want to legitimately support his game. If only someone could fan-translate this game...

Marvel 2, 3 and Infinite are very different games and there are a few tournaments that run all 3 (popularity of infinite is the only thing keeping this from being true in more places). Smash Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate still have tourneys where all 3 or played. Smash 4 is the black sheep but it's pretty much beta Ultimate so thats fine

As someone who's been playing 3rd Strike for over 15 years - thank you. Here's a comment for the algorithm.

a great game!!!but true unbalanced....

An amazing game Denon Souls Remake. Not amazing game Stellar Blade this game is just eye candy.

greatest fighting game ever made. The most perfectly balanced character in fighting game history in Akuma, and the greatest most complex 1v1 mirror in Ken vs Ken. The pinnacle of fighting games.

sf3s is one of the best fighting games ever created, the problem is that its not a street fighter, capcom back then lost the opportunity to have a great new ip. They created a great game like 3s with great mechanics (parry) and choose to jeopardize all this for the single reason that they wanted a new sf.

Who TF hates on SF3? It literally forced players to be more "aggressive". Up unto SF3 most ppl would just lame ass play you: always throw a fireball, wait for you to jump and then catch you with a DP or something. SF3 with its parry move took away the "cheapness" of some players and forced them to evolve as players. Fireballs? Nah bro, those can be parried now with no damage. If anything SF3 made players "git gud" and anyone hating on the game is totally misunderstood.

There is a improvement mod for alien soldier that allows you use 6 buttons but it doesnt change the weapon wheel but makes shoot mode hold X or toggle with the mode button counter force is now Y and teleport is Z :) its a lot more intuitive Great comparison btw :)

I want to observe your replays, but I can't track down your current username with wavu's sister site or in-game (why doesn't this game have a search by default) - TEU-Mark MSX doesn't come up anywhere at all. Would you mind sharing your 12 digit unique id?

This game is the best 2d fighting game ever,it's played since 1999 until now in tournament! What do you need more ?

Because modern games are hot garbage
