SFIII: 3rd Strike - Game Bingo Tournament No.3 [Part 4]

[Protectobot]

Pino is my FAVE' 3S player of ALL time. He showed me another style for Necro that made me want to learn him: he taught me the "Pino Special", as I call it, as well as cool, weird combos, good runaway drill tactics, etc. It's AWESOME that he's commentating too. I think he lost on purpose so he could just do the commentary. JK! :P

[Protectobot]

Makeinu has INDEED gotten a LOTTTTTTTTTTT better, and that's an understatement lol. He picks Urien sometimes too, but I wouldn't bother if I were him, w/ a Q like that!

[wuziq]

tiers.

discuss.

[dxmakina]

@wuziq

best: chun/yun

rest: everyone

[wuziq]

dude i was jk..

[dxmakina]

@wuziq i am deadly serious.

[RyukendenY]

2:00 This is how Q treats top tiers.

[naruto180]

that Ken player was straight beasting!

[Scidadle]

That Makoto is insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[peraltaman]

necro owns makoto welll my necro atleast

[CoolGuyyyyyyyyy]

8:27...lmao O.O

[6Diego1Diego9]

I think Makoto is a really hard match for Q as we all saw in SBO 09....

[dkblade27]

makoto is a hard match for everyone... even Gill

[moonlitearthx14]

I don't know what your deal is with Makoto but I keep seeing it. Makoto's not broken. I advise you take her up to learn her mindgames and risks/rewards. Is your problem the instant-win off of karakusa? Because Oro can do the same thing with his close MP off of even less meter against a greater cast of characters.

[dkblade27]

at least you can parry out of oros unblockables and a lot of the cast has methods of getting out of it.

[Iceman2890]

@dkblade27 @dkblade27 Um what? No she isn't. Learn her weaknesses, which is her terrible defence. A lot of the things that make her good is based on educated guesses. If she was such a hard match for everyone, she would be at the top of the tiers list, which she isn't.

[dkblade27]

makoto is getting higher and higher in the tier list and right now, she is at least top 3. (behind chun/yun)

[Iceman2890]

@dkblade27 The game has been out for over 10 years now, and the tiers list is pretty well established. Any changes to it nowadays would be very minor at best. She isn't moving anywhere, and the top 3 are still Chun, Yun and Ken, who are all very tough matchups for her.

[dkblade27]

ken is in the 5th spot if im right. makoto and dudley are above ken. and makotos defense is still good due to her really strong offense. super agility and mid sized stamina and stun. you need to watch some makoto 100% combo videos.

[Iceman2890]

@dkblade27 When I say bad defense, what I mean is that she doesn't have a reliable way to get somebody off her if she gets cornered. Like in round 2 of that last match, Ken got her into the corner and then beasted on her. As for tiers list, here's the most recent one, along with the older versions:

[dragonlee125]

@Iceman2890 so that's why see rapes others, because her defense is bad. I see thx for that.

[Iceman2890]

@dragonlee125 Did you ever stop to think that maybe the Mak player is just plain better than the opponent? And that that's the reason why she "rapes" people? You pit someone like Nuki/KO vs Boss/J/Ino in 10 matches, and chances are they'll split them 5-5, which isnt considered a raping.

And did you even watch the end of this vid where she lost to Ken? He cornered her in round 2, and beasted on her. When I say bad defense, I mean she has no reliable way to get her opponent off her in the corner

[dragonlee125]

@Iceman2890 I didn't mean to insult Makoto or the player. Im just saying that you opened my eyes to the invincible Makoto's weaknesses.

[pr0phet]

8:28 is full of lulz

[TheAbnormal]

That Makoto vs Oro match was AWESOME

[Yojinnbou]

That Q vs Yun was amazing. What are the names of those two players if anyone knows?

[DrummerFromColdplay]

Q is Makeinu, don't know the Yun.

There is a list of Japanese 3S players compiled by TheShend and others here: forums . shoryuken . com slash showthread . php?t=124501

[sniperclown]

the yun is nekomashi

[derekmok]

Makeinu's reaction has gotten a lot faster. Upped his game considerably. His name is no longer very accurate!

[katsuranomaly]

Q was Makeinu, Yun was Nekomashi.

[Jow279]

gotta hate ken scrubs

[AhGweeV2]

@Jow279 In my opinion, he was a good Ken player compared to other Kens. He's got the basics of Ken really well and that's pretty much all you need.

[moonlitearthx14]

Perhaps you missed the kara shoryukens... 10:04

[AhGweeV2]

Nope. I saw them too.

[LaikaGoHome]

@Jow279

Lol. Calling KenzOu a scrub.

[Jow279]

@LaikaGoHome i'm not calling him a scrub, i'm am sayin ''shit, EVERYONE uses ken''.

[claudiusrex]

@Jow279 Shit man, there were only one two Kens in this whole tournament. Keep in mind that there were two Qs and two Alexes as well.

[supbabys530]

@Jow279 ken's an awesome character.

[Protectobot]

Kenzou, and not Kenzo, a.k.a., K.O? Some of these names are just so similar, but thankfully this isn't a common problem with even all these players overe there!

[4deeb]

02:52 wow

[xQ2x]

11:34 is better. :O

[VreeV]

It's always nice to see a decent Q.
