Remy Overview - Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike [4K]

[@superbro6413]

I think it's pretty awesome that despite these characters being so down the tier list, and a definite struggle for new players to try and learn (and survive on Fightcade with), you and your team still take the time to show off what they *do* bring to the table, and encourage anyone who's feeling daring to give them a shot Peak, honestly

[@OnyxeBlade]

Capcom did such a disservice to Remy and if he ever returns in a modern Street Fighter game. I hope Capcom really take the time to make his tool kit amazing

[@sebaschan-uwu]

They do a disservice to every unpopular character. They only gave juri a functioning moveset when they realized people wanted her to be good

I luv using Remi on 3rd St reallife arkade!! His moves are basic and effective!!

[@justinwilliam6534]

I would wish the same for other unpopular characters in Street Fighter 3 including Necro my favourite from that game.

[@SnSinny]

I love remy so much, honestly I hope he is back for SF6. Amazing video as well

[@DRAGONDD-tf8yr]

I love your remy clips

[@鍾仁哲-g2h]

Me too

[@thetrueparagon]

remy maybe bad but I like him, also I love you tbs

[@derovell]

I think Remy could thrive in SF6. Drive rush to compensate for any awkward normals, plus having access to his counter alongside his regular supers would do a lot to cover his weaknesses.

[@liamnguyen2819]

The thing is, including Remy in SF6 would make no reason to include Guile then, I think. In terms of specials, Remy has that "Tiger Knee" (as mentioned in the video) and his lower sonic boom. To which, if Guile had those in his arsenal, that would really propel him. I just think if the two were to coincide, they'd have to nerf Remy's normals or speed .. or anything so that they make Guile still a viable option next to Remy. I say this as both a Guile main and sadly, a Remy player as well as I used him a lot in 3S simply because he played like Guile lol.

[@jerry3115]

@@liamnguyen2819 if street fighter games can have about a half dozen shotos, there's room for Remy and Guile. they just need to do a little more to diversify Remy, while keeping Guile the best at what he already does.

[@taylorbee4010]

Command. Grab. Launcher.

[@ZombifiedGuitarist]

I'd be down for another go at Remy.

[@ZombifiedGuitarist]

@Jerry311 you hit the nail on the head.

[@stanford-nf4jk]

It may sound strange today, but in the arcade days, he was very well liked. There were players who were really good with him. Once tournaments became larger and larger, these players were weeded out and the character lost appeal and many of those who mained him (that I knew and played) switched to Chun Li. He was the last character to be designed and strayed from traditional Capcom themes. He was more SNK inspired, in fact.

[@baalfgames5318]

Maybe that's why he looks like Iroi Yagami with different hair?

[@stanford-nf4jk]

@baalfgames5318 Exactly! Remy had many iterations until Capcom decided on his final design, in a nod of respect to SNK.

[@splnter648]

Now this guy is my personal secondary. He's very fun to play

[@MidWestWolf1985]

I love third strikes bottom three, honestly. Theyre such interesting concepts for sf characters, despite how the devs seemed to have given up on them halfway through. For those interested in learning remy, check out pierott/lucifer’s matches. Hes probably the best remy in the world, and aspiring remy mains could definitely learn something from him. Feetwork101 also has a great video on his playstyle and strategy-check it out!

[@brittislove]

Why did the devs give up? I know that SF3 series was a failure at the time, and there were some initial development problems, but I didnt' know they were discouraged at this point

[@neonthunder3261]

Remy was the first fighting game character I learned, I pray he returns for another game however unlikely it is

[@sugararmor8]

One of the coolest low tiers ever, watch Lucifer and Dagger G make this character look amazing

[@gaminglakitu]

Honestly Remy is my main in 3S. He's basically the first character I was interested since I heard nothing about him and loved him instantly, and he even made me come around to charge characters! He may be bad in most competitive senses, but I still love him a lot. Hope he gets the chance to come back (The hottest Street Fighter boy doesn't deserve to languish 😔)

[@ArcadeStriker]

"Up next is THE low tier: Twelve" I can already hear Sean crying into a corner from being left last after *Twelve* of all things; jokes aside though props to the dedication to highlighting every character instead of just Yun/Chun lol

[@ikedatike2533]

Honestly, I feel like 12 is lower than Sean to be honest because what can 12 do to be honest?

[@Neogears1312]

Remy doesn’t play like a zoner. At least his players don’t. Remy’s played as a more aggressive character using his projectiles as extended pokes to lock opponents down and to push them into the corner for massive damage.

[@IsmellcoldBlood]

When you play Hugo computer on hard.

[@ScoopsMayCry]

I played him cause of how cool he looked but it's nice knowing how he can be optimized

[@MTR_Nara]

Remy is definitely one of my favorite SF characters

[@damienhh288]

Great character presentation, always happy to see content about 3rd Strike. Thanks !

[@feri7mble]

People think he's bad because his fundamental design doesn't work in 3rd strike, but actually he could be made good with a single balance patch. It's just unfortunate the devs gave him terrible frame data.

[@Tinytunes-25]

You might just be what remy needs to shine. I love good writers.

[@haidynwendlandt2479]

I think another reason Remy is so unpopular is that at the top level, in a lot of ways Remy is just a worse Urien. Both are charge characters with good corner pressure, the main difference is that Remy is a better projectile zoner, but his normals are too slow, stubby, and stationary for him to make good use of that

[@davidbielsa5188]

The ft5 between DaggerGs Remy and Justin Wongs Chun Li is pure art

[@MacAves]

Another great overview! I’m curious if you all are thinking about putting a little “Player(s) to Watch” box at the end card for each character in the final version, it would be helpful to watch some match footage to see how the characters are played at top level! For example, my pick for Remy would be Lucifer/Pierrot, a fantastic Remy main out of Japan. Just curious!

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Yeah we try to add top players if possible, always super helpful with figuring out a character. Just didn't get around to it this time :)

[@Sabretooth-Biggavel]

You dont lose charge after a parry, the games holds the charge for a bit so can do charge move after

[@boomguy2]

I’ve felt pretty mixed overall with the vids and wasn’t expecting a ton for my main Remy’s vid but this is actually overall quite solid, the point on parrying is hit on the head quite well; this is why characters like Q who have meterless specials (hands) on top of charge fare better when post-parry punishes are a huge deal, and is a large reason why SA2 is chosen for Remy in general. Wish Remy’s lack of good lows outside of cr.LK and his corner pressure with his neutral throw into Flash Kick combo was more expanded upon but honestly this is decently comprehensive, good stuff

[@Richter451]

Maybe the real Remy was the friends we made along

[@melvinshine9841]

At least his hair has great animation. The idea of moves being *punishable* on hit is a concept that I don't understand being a thing in any fighting game. We're getting ahead of ourselves, but I still have a hard time believing Sean is worse than Twelve.

[@Alaadassa]

Moves being punishable on hit usually more of a thing in older fighting games, you don't see it a lot in newer ones.

[@fontasgeorgopoulos1048]

He rocks!!!! He so fun and stylish!!!!

[@nixuniverse5240]

The oddest thing about Remy is that he barely feels like a Street Fighter character. He looks more like something you’d see in a Final Fantasy game. Name, design, backstory & all.

[@famebano]

i think he's more akin to a king of fighters character. Remy is like if you ask people to draw Iori in memory.

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

And I don't see what's wrong or odd about it, if anything; it actually makes sense for him in SF and especially in SF3 where weirdos like Q and Necro exists, why don't we have at least 1 slim male character even to this day? That's like the most no-brainer idea for a unique character in SF.

[@rageflash9]

The barrage of projectiles aka Rapid Fire is done by Charge Buffering not Charge Partitioning Charge partitioning is you store a split charge (hence partitioning), do another move then input the other half of the charge needed to execute the special move. The best example of this was the one you mentioned: dash then sonic boom or flash kick

[@sarahage3828]

its still partitioning, you're just splitting the charge between the high and low sonic booms

[@rageflash9]

@@sarahage3828 uhm, no... In the case of charge moves like Sonic Boom (or LoV in case of SF3), the game checks if you have a Full or Split charge. If you do a Charge partitioning, once you execute the charge move then do another non-charge move (like a dash), you can't repeat it and you lose the charge; that's it. With Charge buffering, it allows you to keep the Full Charge and do a charge move REPEATEDLY. A Charge Move (like a Sonic Boom) requires 1.5 seconds of Full charge to execute. Charge Buffering requires you to have an initial Full Charge (1.5 seconds), execute a charge move (ie. a Sonic Boom) and when you do another charge move (another Sonic Boom), you don't need to do another Full Charge to execute the second charge move: all you need to do is back + forward then P or K, and repeat. In Remy's Rapid Fire's (aka Multiple Sonic Booms) case, this is possible as the High and Low Sonic Booms are treated by the game as 2 separate and different moves and/or projectiles. Charge Partitioning requires you to have an initial Split Charge (.75 seconds). Once you go more than the required charge time, you lose the charge automatically. If you are trying to do let's say a dash + Flash Kick, you need to have the exact .75 seconds (and the game recognizes that allowing you to do the Charge Partition), do a dash then after the dash animation do another .75 charge (thus completing the required 1.5 seconds for the Flash Kick) then up + K. If you go more than .75 seconds, the game makes you lose that charge and will not allow you to do the Flash Kick after the dash. TLDR: Charge buffering requires a Full charge and allows you to do a charge move REPEATEDLY; Charge partition allows you to do a non-charge Move action (ie. a dash) and DO a Charge Move by splitting the required charge in between actions/moves.

[@BigWorm2077]

Really hope they decide to bring back Remy in SF6 as a somewhat functional replacement for Nash

[@YaGirlGumption]

Bro I swear to God I remember SOMETHING about Remy having an unfinished super. Like it being a reverse raging demon input or something???? I can see the move in my mind and I can see the blue au revoir behind him like Akuma has his symbol.

you lose down charge when you parry low, but you can use a forward parry when you are charging back to use a boom. it varies in usefulness though.

Hey, isn't that the kid who stole my *sweet moves* ? - guile

[@OneColdRepublican]

This might be just me, but Remy always felt like a character from another fighting game...that just wandered into Street Fighter. I do hope he comes back. Each installment of SF always brings new faces to the table, and sometime brings back an oldie for fun. So how much of a splash would there be if Capcom brought back Remy but with a better movelist/viability?

[@microblast3700]

The worst part about remy is that he deals no fucking damage

[@JOfJaZ]

“HEY THATS THE PUNK WHO STOLE MY SWEET MOVES!!!!”

[@AnthanKrufix]

I think he has potential for his aesthetics alone.

[@smfisch]

i think its charge buffering not charge partitioning. partitioning is breaking the charge up by some internal timer in the game to do complex combos, buffering is charging your next charge attack before releasing your previous one by using the input buffer's leniency to press the button of the charge special move very late after having already input the motions

[@joaoorban7728]

Hope to see him return in sf6 as dlc

Always liked Remy but I feel like he's "underdesigned" for TS, parrying is kinda incompatible with charge characters, Oro got away because of his good normals. If Remy appeared in other SF games that don't parrying he might actually dominate with his booms.
