My sister LOVED 3rd Strike because of how smooth the spritework were so she bought it. Unfortunately, we both suck at fighting games and still traumatizing at Gill

Gill is a canon event

I was super trash at this game
But it was all fun times together with my friends, definitely classic.

The coolest Street Fighter to date.

The only thing I dislike about 3rd Strike is how they completely and utterly nerfed Sean in it, for no good reason whatsoever. He was high tier in 2nd Impact. Newbies should go back and play the entire SFIII trilogy instead of going directly to 3rd Strike.

Aside from that, I love how you can still get upsets with "bad" 3rd Strike characters in tournaments, like Hugo and Q. The only 3rd Strike characters that simply "don't work" imo are Remy (because charge characters and parrying don't mix), and Twelve (he's Twelve).

Finally, I really hope we see Necro in SF6. It's high time he made a comeback.

I make Remy and Twelve work, at least to the best of their extent. It's possible to parry and hold a charge by using a technique called charge partitioning where the game recognizes your last hold, gives you a parry, and allows for the charge special move to still come out.

Twelve requires you to hover frequently (but of course has plenty of tricky match-ups since he is low/bottom tier) to perform deceptive landings baiting your opponent, similar to safe jumps but with normal attacks.

Speaking of balance changes, I'd suggest you give 4rd Arrange (Hack) a try

I'm with you on Necro returning!

Are you the guy they based Sean after
If so congrats on winning the contest. I hate Sean

Thank you for this Remy tech! I'll check it out.

SFIII trilogy instead of going directly to 3rd Strike.

I would just recommend playing 2nd Impact, New Generation is broken and not in a good way

I've never heard if that Remy technique, I might investigate it a little further along with that 4rd arrange hack
