ComputerSpaceFan Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I'm enjoying Super Street Fighter IV and although Street Fighter III Third Strike Online Edition is a step backward graphically, the fact that it is fully online intrigues me. I heard a rumor you can actually just sit in the game and watch other online matches, is that true? Fifteen bucks seems a little steep though and since no one is playing Street Fighter Turbo Remix HD anymore part of me wonders if it's even worth getting Third Strike. Anyone got it? Worth it? Is it just a Capcom Money Grab? EDIT: I did download the demo by the way and liked what I saw (except not being able to choose Chun-li unless I buy the full version <grumbe grumble>) Edited August 24, 2011 by ComputerSpaceFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Eh, I liked 2nd Impact the best anyways. Had much better music, art, voices, controls, everything. You say that the Online Edition's even uglier than standard 3rd Strike? How so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that the Online Edition's even uglier than standard 3rd Strike? How so? Not really "ugly" per se, just an obvious step down after playing the high def glory of SSF IV. The wide screen options are weird. You can either choose a 4x3 screen with stats listed as borders surrounding it or a short and fat stretched version. But I will say at least Chun-li doesn't have "man hands" in Third Strike ... as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagitekAngel Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I downloaded MVC2 on XBLA years ago, but I never play it because the 360 D-pad sucks too hard to enjoy the game properly. I might get this game on PSN eventually, but I'll try and wait for a sale or a price drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Third Strike is my favorite Street Fighter in the series. If you like to get deeply technical with your fighting games, it's one of the best there is. Is it already out for XBLA? I checked last night and didn't see anything worthwhile, so I'm guessing it was released today? Edited August 24, 2011 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taskmaster99 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 downloaded it last nite and it plays great!!! One of my faves in the Street Fighter series. You have your choices of single player modes and online which runs very smooth. While in a lobby waiting for your go.....you watch the others battle it out. Worth the 15 bucks to me.

Austin Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Just purchased this now and gave it a quick go just to see what the conversion is like. So far, it looks sharper than the port in the Anniversary collection a while back and they have spruced up the character select screen and other menus, so it looks fresh. I'll be busting out the arcade stick later for some online rounds, surely.. Anyways, so far, so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Any truth to the rumors you can watch other gamers play live on your screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chop that ho up and make an arcade stick or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Any truth to the rumors you can watch other gamers play live on your screen? Yep, when you are in a lobby with people, it will tell you when those in front of you are picking their fighters and the stage. After that, it goes full-screen as if you were playing, showing the live feed of the match in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Are there any experts for the trials here? I've done 30/55 for the achievement now, but I'm having a hard time still finding some I can actually execute (=> I Have a MadCatz SFIV pad, can't afford a stick...) I'm currently trying parry trial #6, handicap trial #4 and Akuma trial #2 - any advice is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Phew, meanwhile I've succeeded in all handicap trials. Took almost 450 tries to beat Ryu with zero energy Akuma Got some other trials as well, but still have another 20 to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 One thing I didn't like is that you've got to unlock the original character select music from the vault. Otherwise you're stuck with a crummy soundalike. What the hell was up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I must say that I'm a fan of Simon Viklunds work. His job on the Bionic Commando Rearmed soundtrack was incredible and I also really like the soundtrack of SFIIITS:OE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Meanwhile I've invested in another gold month, so feel free to add me if you want to play SFIII online with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 So, I've officially given up on parry trial #6 now Right now I'm working on Akuma trial #5, Alex trial #3 and Chun-Li trial #2. Again, any helpful advice is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Oh my... I've given up on the missing Akuma trials as well. 3/5 must do, it seems I can't do combos that require more than 3 different attacks in a row So I'm working on Alex trial #5, Elena trial #4 and Hugo trial #4 currently. Only 15 more to go, I won't give up on this achievement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 While I've finally given up on the last Alex trial I was missing, I still made some progress this past week: I'm down to the last 8 trials now! Right now I'm working on these: Dudley trial #3, Hugo trial #4 and Ken trial #4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
