Teaching a pro Street Fighter 5 player how to play Third Strike

Today we're joined by the very skilled Street Fighter V player and excellent content creator, Brian F! Brian is going to be undergoing my not-so-expert tutelage in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, to see if his fundamentals as a great sf5 player will carry over to this older game! I've only got 10 minutes for this challenge, then he's gonna hop online and see if he can hold his own with Oro against the ranked players!

Oro cheap in 3rd strike too huh? This was very fun thanks for having me on!

[@mabooooyleatherface.1044]

Idk man his tengu stones seem not that op this time.

[@Gairith]

People used to think he only had 1 arm back then. Once you realize he has 2, things improve. Corinthians 3:17

Seeing Brian_F's progression and adaptation evolve throughout the video was a treat to watch. Shows his calibre as a fighting game player. Match 3 was hype. More content like this please!

[@axeoseilez3207]

Always cool to see pros try something new. And this is a collab im hype for.

[@acampbel26]

I wouldn´t call JMcrofts a "mediocre" player at all but I certainly appreciate the humbleness when referring to a top SFV player such as Brian. This is very ingenious and entertaining collaboration video the likes I have never seen before in the FGC. Keep them coming!

[@voutespancar]

he certainly isn't mediocre. I think this is a pretty harsh word, shouldn't be used at all in this context.

[@iguessDillon]

This is making me wanna pick up 3rd Strike, it looks fun as hell!

[@UncomfortableShoes]

As a 40 year old that grew up with SF2, played some Alpha and only played 3rd strike like 4 years ago. I hated 3rd strike, didn’t love the roster, found the animation movement strange. But late last year I was like “eh, I’ll play some.” And I have to say, it just came alive for me. Still not my favorite, but it’s a great game and fun to play.

[@818Kira]

Many people say it’s the greatest street fighter game, if not the greatest fighting game of all time It is my personal favorite fighting game as well

[@818Kira]

@@michaelwaynetucker you got to be kidding lol I've been playing this game for 10 years and never once have i heard that take

[@818Kira]

@@michaelwaynetucker ok but regardless nowadays many people nowadays consider it the best in the series and i do not disagree with that It has aged the best My old arcade her in LA had like 5 back to back 3S machines that you best believed they got packed

You can get this on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary if you have a Switch or a PS4 or an Xbox you can get this.

[@skianyan]

The most ambitious crossover from 2 of my favorite content creators, good stuff!

[@SeagullCrush]

I've wanted to see Brian play 3S for a while so this was so cool! You should totally teach more people how to play it

[@DiegoUmejuarez]

I love how happy Brian is in this, you can tell he really loves fighting games

[@HalcyonSwift]

I’ve been watching nothing but you two (and maxdood) for the past month. Incredible crossover!

[@Vininsky]

The triad of FGC content

[@Bas_Brand]

3rd Strike is my favourite fighting game. It's just so special and really cool. Awesome to see content like this, getting more people into it, hopefully. See you guys on Fightcade!

[@r1konTheAutomator]

27:47 - watch oro's arm here, he goes in and out of block animation rapidly in sync with gouki's tatsu. I've never seen that before

[@jitsekuilman2492]

Nice catch, that looks super weird

[@adamswing6115]

Looks like rollback to me

[@Sean-re1nv]

@@adamswing6115 Not rollback, it's perfectly in sync with the Tatsu hitboxes. It's proximity auto-block quickly activating and de-activating.

[@nezumi16]

This was fantastic. Being able to see a player apply solid fundamentals in real times as the matches went on was a blast.

[@cemtezcan]

Oh that was super fun to watch this. Watching both of you for a long time, and seeing you both in a single thumbnail on my home tab was amazing :) Cheers!

[@chant4eschaton]

I love playing Oro in 3rd strike, and I really enjoyed this because I am pretty new and it helped me learn a few things- I watch both of you guys regularly so fhis is really cool! Thanks 😎

[@EpixRed]

I was showing my SFV friend who is also an Oro Player, how to play 3rd strike the other day! I'm going to share this video with them :)

[@Danklet]

I love watching great players learn new games - always a delight. Keep up the good work JM.

[@ShadowAce70]

This was such a goated collab and overall really great video! It's really fun seeing pros exiting their comfort zones and trying out a new fighting game. I look forward to seeing you become Brian's student for SF5

[@KickyFut]

Very entertaining! It's a cool idea, teaching someone a different game than they are expert on, but in the same series. He had the general idea how some characters will play, and the controls are pretty much the same, plus he has the fundamentals already down... Very fun!😁👍

[@jaycee.01]

Just stumbled upon your content a few weeks ago and I must say you've been pumpin' out great videos! I haven't played fighting games for over a decade and it's fun to see people that are still passionate about it. Keep up the great content!

[@myloemike]

This is a fantastic video. I love JMCrofts, and I love Brian F. So much fun to see the collab! I'd love to see more in the future or even on Brian's channel 👀

[@fuchila2point0]

This is long and away a fantastic format and video! Brian_f being an chill dude makes it so tight!

Always a blast seeing someone have fun with Third Strike!

[@ceeka9002]

really fun video to watch, thanks as always JM :)

[@protodevilin]

I need to see more of you and Brian_F doing collabs like these. Great stuff.

[@paorasimon4957]

Wow a JM and Brian_F collab? Never thought I needed this. 🔥🔥

[@THTB614]

Hope to see you and Brian team up for this type of video in the future! This was fun to watch.

[@MrKenJammin]

As a brian F fan I knew I would enjoy this, but there was something extra hype about seeing someone with FG experience pick up a new game. Thanks for doing this, I’ve been a silent fan for awhile but always appreciate all the fresh ideas for vids.

[@taksss.]

I love how crazy he already is out the gate, you can tell he’s just having fun and enjoying the learning progress!

[@headfishe3503]

its really amazing to see your videos man, I get surprised everytime, you and Brian are good players and good content creators, thats for sure!!

[@ElaEhDoTempoDoBob]

I loved the tutorial for Oro! I never played him, went to Fightcade and got to rank C for the first time. I would love to see more basic tutorials for 3rd strike!

[@zobdos]

Super video ! Two great content creator :) thx you for this quick intro to sf3rdstrike, I didn't heard you tell Brian about Kara cancel, it really makes throw easier

the rare Brian F collab! we love to see it.

[@dragonyoshi1]

The first time he nailed more than one rep of that relaunch loop was hype that's always a great feeling when you get the sense of timing for it down.

[@ExistentialNights]

This is such a great idea. Please do more of this!

[@Gilbot9000]

This was a great session. Been taking a break from my Third Strike grind but this is motivating. Definitely reverse roles and let him teach you some stuff!

[@Regimeta]

[@SirChocula]

Could you please make this a series?! There are tons of newbies like myself that would love a condensed starter info session like you did with Brian, so that way, we can start to know the basic in and outs of a character (what neutrals are good, starter combos, etc), thanks! :D

Great gameplay sets with you 2 godlike street fighter gamers 😎 👏 amazing job with u and Brian F jmcrofts. Always love watching your streaming and content and I'm blessed 2023 is going well for u as well. Enjoy your Monday guys God bless, stay safe and healthy

[@oklimbo]

Man there is just some kind of primal joy in watching anybody learn new fighting games. I know bringing the Ibuki out was out of respect for his Oro play, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping to see how the Oro mirror was gonna shake out tho

Late to the party, but great vid! Currently little after 21:18 and when I saw triple LP I instantly felt the Akuma’s urge to demon and I started watching the meter build; I felt that shit in my bones, I was not prepared for it to hit tho

[@animal10.05]

Watching this was pretty entertaining because even though I know I could wash Brian_F in SF3 he's talking about frame advantage and negative frames and stuff and I have almost no knowledge of any of that so yeah in a matter of hours he would be better than me. I like the collaboration seems like a pretty good fit as both have PMA overall. Only hiccup is when jmcrofts is trying to talk while fighting his voice turns into a demon lol. The reverse video would definitely be interesting just to see the contrast.

[@felipeignacioaspeeenero958]
