Evolution 2009 - Street Fighter III: Third Strike Finals Intro

FUN TRIVIA: Yes, the Daigo Moment. Again. Haha. I actually had to replicate the Parry Moment in Training Mode with a pad on the PS2, since I didn't have a PS2 joystick anymore! And it was not easy! So when I noticed I did the combo with Jumping Fierce and Daigo did it with Jumping Roundhouse, I thought about re-recording them again but then just said "oh well."

These short intro clips were created for Evolution 2009, played before the game's first match on Finals Sunday.

James do you do video production for a living?

[jchensor]

No, only for hobby. I only got into it because I used to make Combo Videos.

[JMoneyGetsPaid]

There are no words Chensor.... for how i feel. If more people did the work you do, or if you were fully recognized for what you do for our community, I think video games would finally move closer to taking the place they deserve next to movies and comics as a truly respected form of media entertainment. Thank you for doing what you love and being so good at it... as long as you do what you do, ill do what i do. and thats play games and support you in all the ways I can. "DREAMS DONT DIE"

[jchensor]

Wow. I honestly am at a loss for words. Thank you very much, sir. I wish I could honestly say that I don't care about compliments and such and just enjoy doing these things for the fun of it, but I can't lie: it means a lot to me to hear you say something like that. I'm always happy to learn that people can enjoy things that I create. So, really, I must say "Thank you" one more time for the kind words. I am humbled by them.

whats the song ?

[jchensor]

Grande Valse Brillante In E Flat Major, Op. 18 by Chopin... although a caveat must be stated that Chopin's original piece is a pure piano piece (a beautiful one at that). The song used in this video happens to be a version re-written for a full orchestra that I happened to have on CD.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@ILOVETODANCELOL i get tired of the same old characters man, i'm glad they brought out a a new cast IMO.

[ILOVETODANCELOL]

The first part of your comment is plain wrong, and the second part is opinion.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@ILOVETODANCELOL most of the cast was good and street fighter third strike is better than sfiv or ssiv

[Inkjexion]

damn this is motivating as shiiii

[HmongYou2Tube]

This is why 3rd Strike will be the best game.

[Gamingslave]

LoL look at that girl walking away at the event I would have to get up and walk that shit of my self HA

[lordofthunderful]

wow that guy is fat.....i guess thats what happenes when u play vid games and dont make love lol

[Styxorcist]

Well it's not my fault if you don't get it but it seems more like you don't want to get it more than anything. In grounded situations you want to parry but that's what empty grabbing is for. People don't get why empty jump grab works. If you spend most of your time parrying it usually ends up being your downfall vs a thinking player. Come on man, ALL SF is footsies, so in essence you're saying NO SF is good right or fighting game for that matter?

It's ALL footsies.

[majinsweet]

You didn't explain or say anything as to how parries supposedly add to the RPS nature of fighters. And that's probably because they don't. In the vast majority of cases you want to parry, it's just a matter of physically being able to do it. It's not a thought process or strategic decision. Blocking already beat attacks in SF2, In SF3 blocking beats attacks, and parries beat attacks even worse. Wow, really adding depth. That's why no one commits to anything in 3S. That's why it's all footsies.

[Styxorcist]

Footsies and throw mixups is barebones fighting game structure. That's what built the empire that is SF. 3s just changed things by throwing another element in the mix via parrying.

Thus making it A beats B, B beats C and C beats A. Then there's the situational breakdown of each in addition to the new characters and attacking options, I'd say 3s was at least an 8/10 in terms of fighting games. I'd say 9 but thats just me being biased.

3s is superb in it's own right and in comparison to 4
