Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition

oh my god what have they done to dudley's theme

[Deathbringer]

Yang/Yun's theme (barely) pass just cause it sounds like it should be in a james bond movie, but I digress......wtf @ everything else X_X

OE Remixed Soundtrack is up on Youtube...most of it anyway

Cover your ears, Jazzy NYC sounds like it was played on detuned instruments by two fingered retards.

I can get behind HDR's soundtrack.

This, on the other hand, is fucking crap. Please tell me we can toggle to the old OST.

[Charismatic]

You can... but it seems you have to unlock the old stuff.

Obviously GGPO is not magic, but I'm expecting the generally stable connections in BG games to be finally lag free. I'm not expecting random games to be perfect, however.

yeah the majority of this group of people have decent connections, I've only had lag issues against one BGer and I don't even remember who it was lol

So there is an option which turns all of 3rd strike combos into chain combos....now that could be AWESOME....

You'll have 2I Ibuki back! Kinda...

Oh look David Sirlin is flapping his gums about fighting game balance again. Why does this man have a job?

[Callisto]

If I were to venture a guess it's because he works for himself

He's got some valid points even though I hate his guts. I gotta agree with his point on not addressing every claimed problem so it wouldn't lead to the flavor of the month patches (though Capcom have done just that going from Super to AE). I see that every week in the SF4 thread, first it's C.Viper is broken cause Wolfkrone/Latif/Etc is winning, then it's Seth then it's Fei Long, I'm surprise no one said Sakura is broken cause she got 3rd in GodsGarden.

Anyway, I think the only reason he got a bone to pick with that 1up review (and not rebalancing 3s) is it was a straight jab at HDR's failure. And I love the fact that he plugged his own card game and calling it the most balanced game ever. I bet every creator of a game, no matter how good/bad/broken, could drink to that.

edit: lol@the comments. Sirlin is the greatest....in the delusional kind of way.

It's stupid to balance a 10+ year old game... people are going to play it because of nostalgia, so don't give them a different game than what they remember.

KOF98UM did a pretty decent job at a rebalance + semi-sequel. They added a bunch of characters and moves, which was pretty good. But I heard KOF98 still beat UM in terms of revenue in the arcades that's why they released KOF98UM Final edition, a rebalance of a rebalance.

I think maybe an optional one, like how you can switch between super and AE would have been decent, but for $15 I already think they put together a pretty solid package and wouldn't expect much more work put into it for that price

[Kaiseran]

This is just poop. Leave the track remixing to Tekken.

2nd Impact Ibuki had the best super, which doesn't exist in 3s

The time/money spent rebalancing probably isn't worth the number of new players you'd bring to a decade-old game. If folks really want a rebalanced 3rd Strike they should be clamoring for a PC release so they can do whatever the hell they want and see how many people want to play their version.

Can unlock it via beating arcade with each character supposedly. It's just a time-saver DLC.
