It's Been 84 Years: 3rd Strike - The Online Warrior Episode 99

[@jadelc3667]

3rd strike is timeless. This game just won’t get old for me. Sick OST, dope pixel art, wicked stages.

[@xTheNameisEthan]

That’s why it’s my favorite fighting game of all time and probably my top 5 games ever made, so pretty and so fun to play, the ultimate hype game

[@nerto5425]

This game it’s gold forever ♾

[@jbradberry86]

Straight facts!! I love this game so much. Been playing for years and still play as of today. Hell I even have it on my phone 😂

These were my first matches with 3S on FightCade 2. While I like 3S Online Edition the most because it's the most feature rich, FightCade 2 runs so well it's hard to not recommend it to anyone interested in playing.

Interesting, I was looking into buying it (again) on Steam through the Anniversary Collection. Good to know that there is a much better version that is actually populated

That thumbnail made me realize how glad I am that Ryu has aged in a way where he always looks like he's 30 or 40.

[@staticshock4239]

He's actually 32 in Street Fighter 5.

And that my friend, is why he has such a huge following, because consistency.

Right? I remember the very first one. I was insanely hyped about 3rd strike online edition dropping so those videos kept me going when I wasn't able to play.

[@Arsonius]

Ayyyy!! He remembered to do the classic 3rd strike intro! All is fair and right on the channel (and in the world).

[@Darky9406]

This is one of your fans from Colombia believe it or not, and I've been watching your content from 2014 maybe. I was just finding out the FGC and I was amazed by UMVC3. I have never played a fighting game, I dont have the hands to make the easiest of combos but I do enjoy very much ereything related to them because of people like you who make this comunity so amazing. You were one the streamers that made me look at myself and try to belive that gaming was something I can build my life around of, since here people do not find this to be any kind of promising as a way to earn your life even find it laughable, but looking at your carreer and the kind of staple that you are on the FGC and the gaming community in general makes me happy and gives me a pat on the back so I can look to someone and work for something like that. Don't know if this reaches you but still thank you for everything you've done.

[@AyeYoYoYooo]

SF3 has aged like a timeless renaissance painting FFS. What a STUNNING BEAUTY, visually, stylistically, audio-wise, 🕹gameplay-wise. Every aspect of the game is both timelessly classic, and FRESH AF, not a spec of dust on it💿. (Except the original bitrate arcade audio 🎤📉📞lol) But the PS2 Arranged OST ? Masterpiece. The masterfully comprehensive online edition by Iron Galaxy ? The most beautiful and well presented of them all, but the PS2 arranged OST is better than OE “updated” OST. ALL THAT SAID… I still abso-MF-lutely cannot wait for : 1. SF3 Collection - -- SF3: New Generation -- SF3: 2nd Impact -- SF3: Third Strike -- SF3: 3rd Strike ↗️Upper “3rd Strike ↗️Upper” would include all stages and audio tracks from all 3 titles, as well as from their arranged console versions♻️, as well as several additional playable characters, that Capcom planned to include in the cancelled 4th installment of the SF3 series. And with that momentum: 2. Marvel vs Capcom Collection: -- X-Men: COTA -- Marvel Super Heroes -- X-Men vs SF -- Marvel SH vs SF -- Marvel vs Capcom 1 -- Marvel vs Capcom 2 -- Marvel vs Capcom 2 ↗️ Upper MVC2↗️ Upper would include all stages and audio tracks from all 6 titles, as well as from their arranged console versions, as well as several cancelled characters from the series, with the most completed animation, other than their assist animations from MVC1♻️. And after that, if possible: 3. Capcom vs SNK Collection: -- Capcom vs SNK -- Capcom vs SNK Pro -- Capcom vs SNK 2 -- Capcom vs SNK 2 ↗️ Upper CVS2↗️ Upper would include all stages and audio tracks from all 3 titles, as well as from their arranged console versions, as well as several additional playable characters, that Capcom planned to include in the cancelled 4th installment of the CVS series♻️. Each collection could command 💲77.77 - 💲88.88 USD, for the physical editions📙, with 24x36 posters, easily. 💙💛DO THE RIGHT THING, CAPCOM !💙💛 PEACE ! ☮️

5:07 reminds me of the only time I ever fought Max. Didn't know his screen name at the time. I played Alex almost exclusively and all I remember is a good starting life lead followed by a complete wipe. Thanks for bringing back SF3, Max.

[@rufioquin2406]

I used to play Third Strike religiously on GPO and then the online edition on 360. I have videos uploaded through the old online server under like o like h (fighter name) and under Pink Sean TM. I recently tried to go back and play it for the first time in over 5 years, and it was embarrassing how awful I am now. Still my favorite fighter ever, followed by Tekken 4, then Soul Calibur II.
