I love this game. Unfortunately, I was never good at it. The parrying system both makes and breaks the game -- it makes for amazing fights that really feel like Jackie Chan style 1-on-1 brawls, but it's such a difficult mechanic that it really makes the game an elites-only party. This is a better game than SF4, but SF4 is more accessible.

Been playing fighting games forever but never played third strike. But third strike is better than SF4 in my opinion

Even though I played the crap out of SF2, and to an extent; SF4, with my friends back in the day, I was never any good at it. The whole focus on zoning and keep away was something that missed me. When I got into SF3 back in the early 2000s, I instantly fell in love. My habit of wanting to get into your face and just keep on the offense paid in my favor. I was also quick on picking up the parry system, which gave me a huge edge over my friends who often just poked at the mech. calling it broken.

I play Guilty Gear pretty competetively, so it wasn't that hard for me.

@emaculatej650 @your sidenote: hell yea!

Been playing fighting games since sf2. Played all capcom fighters except jojos bizarre adventure. I still think the system used in cvs2 is the best system. Since i played. 3rd strike in the arcade and on both ps2 and dreamcast i was able to get back into it a bit even though i have been playing ssf4ae alot. Still a great game.

Sidenote: they need to bring Rival Schools/Project Justice and cvs2 back for online play

I have played Street fighter 4 - super street fighter 4, Tekken, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and even games like Melty Blood and Arcana heart. I dont wanna say I am bad but I aint good either. I played my friends third strike on ps3 and got my tail end handed to me I just really aint any good at it, granted I do like this game though if that makes any sense. I was really hoping with the experience I had I would do okay but I just cant roll with this game. I do hope some day I can be okay at it.

i'm not very expierenced with fighters but i got the SF Alpha anthology on ps2 and i have trouble pulling off the super combos. i'm somewhat decent at the games, i would probably give myself a D+ or C-. which game should i download off he PSN (when i get a ps3) MvsC2 or SF 3 to get into fighters and which one is easier?

[YuNgIcE89]

Never played third strike until it was re-released.*
