So here's a fun question that I'm sure every fighting game player is going to laugh when I ask it: How in the hell do you actually do a 360 without accidentally jumping? I have never, ever, ever been good at them and mostly just connect out of luck. It was the main reason I never tried to pick up Zangief or Hakan. Hell, I went into practice and just tried over and over to connect with Hakan's 360 super and couldn't do it to save my life.
3S is pretty lenient with 360 motions. I main Hugo and it's just a matter of whipping the stick from towards all the way around till your about at up/towards and hitting punch. It's more about the quick wrist snap then being super precise. You develop this little "hook" at the end of the motion after practice.

Edit: for 720 motion, you have to be creative. Buffer one 360 into moves like a standing LK then complete the motion right after to Gigas for example. Buffering from a dash works great though I still can't get it out perfect every time.

I've always done my 360s as a full circle (clockwise from 6 to 6 [on numpad or 3 to 3 on clock]), aside from ST, I can be pretty casual and slow about it and still get SPDs out and such.

For ST, I just have to be a bit faster but still don't have any problems.

Do whatever makes you feel comfortable; whether you go clockwise, counter cw, starting from down or forward or back.
 
Also keep in mind that in capcom games, you don't have to do an actual 360, you only need a 270, meaning you can input back, downback, down, down-forward, forward, up-forward, then up for the 360 motion. If it's a 720, the first rotation must be a full 360, but the 2nd can be a 270.

I think i'll update my Xbox Live bio saying "don't hate on me, I main Chun-Li in every Capcom fight game, be it Tatsunoko, MVC 3 or SF 4".

It's not like i'll use her in SF 3 because she's strong... just because i like her.
Damn it, i hope they don't ban Chun in every non-ranked mode.

btw i'll still eat shit

As a side character i want to try Q :3 or Remy.


Ah don't worry too much. I have always used Chun as my main since back in the SFII days in arcades. Just have fun playing the character. Like any fighting game, you can either have fun with it or obsess to the point that you make the community unplayable online for anyone remotely interested as a newcomer.

PSN: ryuoshin if you wanna do some Chun matches.

Me too...

...except in 3s, lol. I used Elena and Hugo instead. Might use Chun now though.

Do it either during a jump or another attack. Or in the case of SFIV just do qcf,uf. Really useful, and REALLY damn annoying when it comes out when you don't want it to >__>
 
I dont know who to main. I never played this game competitively before due to no online or tourny scene around here. I was thinking maybe Ibuki. Im going to be in the lab a lot in this game. Ill probably jumped straight into online with Ryu. I cant wait any longer!

I am quite possibly, The Stupidest Man on Earth :p.

I preordered Third Strike and could not wait until it goes live on UK PSN.
I downloaded demo from HK and played it for few hours. The game is excellent!

A Few minutes ago I checked my emails and found this:

On 22/08/2011, we noted that your online activity in XMB Messaging was in
serious breach of the PLAYSTATION®Network Terms & Conditions for the

I was playing AE last night and asked the guy who kept kicking me after I beat his Evil Ryu(I think that he is no.1 or no.2 ER on PSN) why he keeps doing that and why he cares about points so much.
He replied with an insult to which I replied with equally insulting message and blocked him after that.
Well, it seems that he really wanted to ruin my day :).

Well, it seems that I will have to go back to Tekken 6 for a few days...

I disagree.
The alt colours were made during the old DC port.

This is not the same base game this time they used the arcade board romset and built around it - so It could be the first true arcade perfect port of 3rd Strike (If that is the case still remains to be seen but whatever.)

I'm guessing that is why the alt colours don't seem to be in atm.

Man, Sirlin talking mad trash on haunts, wtf?

http://www.sirlin.net/blog/2011/8/22/the-anti-progress-attitude.html

I get the people that want the game rebalanced, but guess what, then youre not re-releasing the game AT ALL. Fans wanted 3rd Strike Online and thats what this game is. if you rebalance it then you no longer have that, you would have a 4th strike, meaning its a new game, meaning a shitload of other things have to happen (starting with a lot more money and resources that are not available)

3rd Strike managed to survive for 10 years in the competitive scene, its a fucking success!

I dont see anybody wishing Mario jumped higher every time they re-release Mario Bros. 2. Its a flawed argument and he only uses that p.o.v. to make his own games sound good.

I know its a tired argument but damn, this shit pisses me off.

Well, that whole "having to buffer for a 720" thing would explain why I was getting so incredibly pissed off while trying them. I still suck at general 360's though. Maybe I'm just not rotating the stick fast enough or something. Every time I hit an upwards diagonal (7 or 9) I jump, or get flustered thinking I'm going to jump so I mash an attack. So if I was going (6,3,2,1,4,7,8,9) I jump on the 7 and just get pissed. Should I just be going as fast as possible, and hit the attack button on (9)?

I wonder what percentage of increased hate mail will be generated from those who don't know about the taunt stat increases?
If you watch the full match of Evo Moment #37, you hear a few people laughing every time Daigo did a taunt. So more people don't know this than you would think.

As i said: Sirlin is a smart but he totally missed the point on 3S OE.

"There's a problem: 3s is one of the worst balanced fighting games around. I mean that literally. It's hard to even come up with worse balanced fighting game than it, yet if you throw a stick at a pile of fighting games, you'll hit a better balanced game. James Chen had this to say in 2008 about the Evolution tournament results:

Street Fighter III: Third Strike - This year [2008], in the Top 8, we had Chun, Chun, Chun, Chun, Chun, and Yun. In 2007, we had Chun, Chun, Chun, and Chun. In 2006, we had Yun, Yun, Yun, Yun, Chun, Chun, and Chun. In 2005, we had Chun, Chun, Chun, Chun, Chun, Yun, and Yun. I don't think there's anything left to say about this game."

What bothers me is using somebody you know as a tool to advertise yourself and your talents. The whole point of his articles is always to trash something popular and then end with "in MY game that IM designing, its gonna be awesome and not lame like this!"

Promoting yourself is not something that should be done by talking shit about other people and their attitudes or products, get judged and noticed based on your own merits. Otherwise youll find that in this extremely small industry youre not gonna have a lot of friends.

And he is literally eaten alive by people saying "nobody likes the games you like".
It is amazing how much rage one person can hold over the internet. Amazing. And even go against the act of balancing itself.

I just cannot imagine ANYONE who plays SF3:3S:OE:Imaginary Balance DLC where the top 2 was slightly nerfed super-wise, and other chars recieved some buffs, goes into some player matches, plays against 10-15 different chars every time, and says after a week: "man, I gotta go back to the bullshit old one where all we did was mirrors. Go for it!".

No, just not possible.

Well, when I saw something like "CHESS 2" (really? I will come up with Go2, guys! 6 colors now, and a secret +10 point hole in the board!), it was a bit frustrating, but his points are perfectly well articulated even without any "this is what I make" references.

Or maybe I am biased too as I am trying to develop strategy games too, and the balancing itself is really important for me, to learn and to do both.

I think a 4th Strike is something we would all want, actually :) There is something to be said for 3S being so popular even if its endgame is unbalanced, its just really fun to play for most people at most skill levels. Also, the middle tier is very, very big.

If you cant relate to that, thats fine, but I'll play with my middle tier characters and have a blast, and thats what a lot of people want anyways.
