Hey Sup Forums, what are your thoughts on Street Fighter 3: Third Strike?
To start the thread off, I have to say I think it's an absolute pile of trash.
Retardedly rigid tier list literally built around how bad of a disadvantage a character has over Chun, mish-mash of a cast that's hit and miss, mostly miss mechanically (Sean, Twelve, Q, Alex, somewhat Necro etc.), meta absolutely ruined by parries - a free counter to everything that doesn't even work as an equalizer because a better character will still have better options after a parry than a bad one.
Parry turned the meta into building meter in the corner with fucking NORMALS (another bad design move) and fishing for cr.MK into super a VAST majority of the time. There's nothing to the high level game other than mid-ranged pokefest with occasional kara-throws. I don't care about muh Kuroda, just because he's very good at eating soup with chopsticks doesn't make chopsticks a good universal utensil (this is a good time to dismiss my entire argument for a food analogy, feel free).
And of course there's Daigo parry that all people who don't care for deeper analysis flocked to. It's a hype, great moment, can't deny, but it's only such because it was new to the US players. It was actually a common thing to do among Japanese players. Hell, Daigo himself even put 3s on backburner because of how shit this Chun-dominated piece of shit on a stick is.
