I remember first casually playing Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike arcade, coming from New Generation and 2nd Impact my main going in was
Necro. It wasn't until around the Dreamcast release I began to take a big interest in the game.
My friends and I would watch Tournaments from Japan, and this is back in the early 2005-08. It was also around the time I first was introduced to
Fightcade, where 3S would be my primary game. Spent hours playing online, with Necro watching matched from Sugiyama, PinoAB7. My secondary was
Twelve, with his low health and damage output he was often overlooked but I capitalized on his strengths like hovering, low-profiling attacks by walking, feinting jumping heavy kick by pressing it late, for example.
In 2010 my focus shifted to playing Super Street Fighter IV. While I enjoyed the new characters like
El Fuerte (which became my secondary) I decided to finally sit down and properly learn how to play charge characters so my choice was
Vega (claw). He became my main and I eventually got down the charge style.
Which leads me to my second renaissance with 3S, this time Online Edition released in 2011. I decided to take my charge knowledge and apply it, choosing
Remy as my new main. Playing him more aggressively like Vega instead of defensively like Guile. My secondary then was
Q. I would then spend more years playing on Fightcade 2 in 2015-2023 this time using my new main as my primary choice.
Overall it's my favorite 2D fighting game, next to SSFIVAE. Other characters I would learn in order were; Oro, Alex, Elena, Ibuki, Ryu, Sean. I enjoy all these fighters especially Alex and Ibuki, Oro is cool too.
@solnK! Aye fellow Remy main in the wild
