Street Fighter III: 3rd strike - Parry Happy Ryu

[@akumous]

I know SFV is in the works but in my opinion this game is Capcom's PEEK of fighting games. This is probably the best STREET GAME made for fighting enthusiast

[@Cyulyk01]

This video man, that was my first contact with 3rd Strike. The speed of the gameplay, the music, the amazing sprites, everything in this game feels so perfect.

[@shinox23]

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY, THIS PERSON IS A DAMN PARRYING HERO!"!

[@davantejohnson7850]

lol a parrying hero

[@spdeew]

DAIGO-STYLE PARRYING AT 5:13 YEAH JUST AS AMAZING AS IT WAS AT EVO

[@dayashathirsts]

i wouldve been mad as shit if i lost like this...

[@iverson25allen]

Whooa sick composure especially when the Ryu player landed and continued to parry the Houyo. Very well done.

[@NonRandomUser]

Nostalgia BOMB. I still have this video on my hard drive.

[@davantejohnson7850]

Chivalry is dead bruh. Ask Chun-Li.

[@Innomen]

5:09 is what you came here to see, and it's close to the famous one except no instant payback. Still, not as good as what most would call the original. (Because surely someone somewhere already did that before the famous video.)

[@CCMCPrints]

I'd Call It Better Than The Original Because He Parried It In the Air, While Foward Jumping.

[@PrestonGarveyofthesettlements]

This guy started off parrying Chun's special in mid-air. That was just too damn cool. I don't know who this cat playing Ryu is, but if I met him, I would have to ask him to teach me.

[@TBContent24]

street fighter 3 is by far my favorite street fighter. Everything about it screams extreme street fighting, from the character animation, to the moves, to the soundtrack, to the technical parries. It's just superior.

[@djayricky]

One of the times I went to E3 which was actually E3 2004. I met the guy who created the parry system. They had a Third Strike cabinet at the Capcom exhibit and he was playing against anyone who wanted to challenge him. He was literally parrying everyone's attacks. It was so awesome. He would come out perfect everytime.

[@xcaluhbration]

I never got too deep into the 3rd strike portion, but man watching these videos make me wish I did.

[@pandaumk3]

98 people got happy parried Kind of late writing this, but this is pure gold, I learned a lot from these matches, thanks for the upload :)

[@SiennaVIP]

The counter system is one of the most ingenious elements to this franchise. Especially that lovely video of Daigo and Justin, thanks to that great system. Because of it, it can be anyone's game, always a possibility to come back.

[@Santora2007]

The guy who's playing with Ryu has awesome parrying skills

[@dimebagplan]

i love this vid ! can't stop watching it. the ryu's player is damn good !

[@PrestonGarveyofthesettlements]

i know i parry with ryu alot, but damn, this guy is on another level.

[@AnimaniacZero]

Damn, the super art parry at the end was by far the best one I've ever seen.

[@nfa_copium2479]

HOLY SHIT THE DAIGO PARRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NarfLarf]

I love how when Ryu sets his bag down it stays on the floor, even after the 1st round. The little details like that show me that they put thought into this game.

[@jeraigumo]

Damn the KO on Chun-li in the second round was legendary. Every aspect of it was cool.

[@90s-Trance_86]

that was freaky awsome :-) It's like the version of ken performed by Daigo (the parry thing) How you must perform that, i know the button moves are back then forward but i cant parry the combo of chun li, can someone tell me, a tutorial vid would be cool

[@curseofagony209]

@SeventhSun whats wrong with keeping match folders? i like watching these videos..i wouldnt mind saving some of my favorites..ljust cause they are kinda fun and inspiring to watch

[@evanthepanther]

@konohasappy 2d, this is sf3: 3rd strike, the only street fighters that were 3d at the time were the EX series

[@stretchypants123]

Man, that Ryu sure is a badass when it comes to parrying.

[@Lorddaddyfunk]

@MYDRAGGIN84 Pressing towards the opponent as they attack high, and pressing down when they attack low

[@MrTDM09]

THE SECOND MATCH WAS TO SICK YO!!! I seriously thought there would be a 3rd match. 10/5 man

[@BlakMastachief]

@nyran125 No, its actually nothing like the focus system, you must press forward to parry mid/high (on EXACT impact) and must press down on low atks. but in the sense that it does take an attack (no chip or health is lost though) it allows you to follow up after it (the attack isnt automatic like a focus). Its very hard to master in the instance that you cannot simply spam forward or down because youll just end up walking forward into your opps combos, it can turn a fight around but its a gamble

[@WillmaticNYC]

Parrying is a beautiful thing to watch. It's soo much fun to parry an entire super or an entire match like Ryu did against Dudley to make a come back. A Parry requires you to think outside the box, and not be so obvious with your attacks. SF4 still needs works, I'll still play it, but im dying for KOFXII and BlazBlue :-)

[@machogrubba14]

amazing comeback! WOW darn it dudley!

[@MrZangetsu468]

I'm having Daigo flashbacks seeing that Chunli Super Art parry

[@NasaXnieru]

lol he pulled a Daigo on the last round

[@MuroKhan]

Well either forward or down, depending where the attack's landing.

[@ParryAll]

The Ryu player is Tj. SFmaniac43 or something on SRK. Anyway hes from Pittsburgh. This is ancient video, before he was good. But even then he was a parrying god. He has uncanny parrying skills and concentration. He plays SF4 now and he's very good.

[@Marceles45]

Daigo just made full parrying cool, I'm sure everyone has tried it before him, I'm sure alot of players can do it, but what he did at that moment without messing up and the combo he did after that will remain epic. And there's a difference in playing the game just to clown around and parry, and then parrying for a reason. This Ryu was just standing around trying to parry, Daigo would've mixed up combos in between the parries because he wants to win.

[@Anthony-gc7el]

inari12700 That is a super jump. It is performed by quickly pressing down then up. It is done the same way in marvel vs capcom 2.

[@mgreen27]

@seanj666 Sweet. I can't find that anniversary collection anywere lol.

[@swoldierboitellem]

@bloodyknives07 i think daigo's main was ken in 3s AFAIK

[@uneos]

That Dudley guy kept coming back for more. He wasn't too bad. Also, that Chun-Li block was mighty impressive. I guess Daigo's garnered more attention because it gave him a turnabout win whereas this guy was just dominating.

[@ArchlordCevic]

@MercyVirus ive never really played much of the alpha series outside 3rd strike sadly :( i went from ST- 3rd strike- sf4. so those are my comparisons haha

[@toonami99]

good stuff I like to parry when ever I can. Makes the match fun.

[@Alba0825]

Amazing stuff I enjoy watching it , I play street fighter but lets be honest not everybody has the same skills as others do .

[@BIMBOBOOP]

no man, this guy got that parry begging on a jump!! that is awesome!!

[@mrpicklenickel]

You know whats funny third strike is not a 6th sense game completely. Yes there is always a good guess or good read but with third strike its more about putting your opponent in a situation where you know they have limited option... and then you start to force them to do stupid stuff like a wake up upper or something that you can parry then punish. Its a mind game. The parry system really does put a cap on spamming but like anything else it takes practice.

[@viewtifuljoe99]

Just curious to anyone that might be out there, I'm thinking of picking up 3rd strike. Should I get the dreamcast version? Or the version that is part of the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on ps2? Are they pretty much the same?

[@tdubb099]

man I lovin this game. Seems like you have a lot more control over your character especially with ryu and ken

[@WarriorBoy]

So what do you base your multiple parrying on more, sound or watching movements?

[@Mrster]

Are all the characters from SF2 and their theme songs with in this game?

[@cemo504]

3:53 fav part

[@RevPsychobilly]

cemo504 why?

[@noway4879]

+RevPsychobilly No because, it looks like an amazing fighting sequence, heavy hits, nice parries. Just an overall amazing bit. I totally Agree with Cemo.

[@skd1337]

the ryu rocks! - nice parry skills!

[@supernaruto12]

@UpTballA ummm, just because someone didn't do anything in the air, doesn't mean it's rigged. Obviously he didn't think about doing that. He just wanted to jump. Whenever I jump in Street Fighter, almost half the time I don't attack.

[@CatSkinCap]

First fight looked like a warmup...but the later ones were pretty fun to watch.

[@picoaga]

@TheBiz182 no botton press needed?

[@DeltaElite121]

Still my favorite in the whole series. I can't even sit down and enjoy the newest releases, but this game always felt great.. even with crap 360 controllers it responded well.

[@fluidwolf]

@flowless899 Was youtube even that big back then?

[@bornwisedistruction]

To any one who hasn't played this version of sf go back and pick it up on dreamcast or the anaversary collection for the xbox or ps2 hell even the cps emulator for PC i promise that you will love it.

[@rockmanjoey]

There is no need for the negative thumbs down for that comment. Street Fighter IV is better for a more wider audience who don't want to learn such depth and technical complexity which is present in Third Strike. Point is, IV a lot easier to play than Third Strike but I am a fan of both, I've played IV and its very good. I like Third Strike also because you need to have such good skill and looks stunning!

[@BloodPact725]

What was the grade from the last match?

[@lightchaser2k6]

@WizardPlayHD Not new. We have few players here able to use characters like Hugo to full parry all & carry out combo afterwhich.

[@zealotscout]

What song is playing on the background?

[@screenwriterdave]

1:23 it's beyond me how he didn't get an A

[@chaosgreyblood]

Beastly, insane parrying, especially vs Chun Li's SA 2. He should be in tournaments! o_O

[@KebraderaPumper]

5:13 best parry this video secret i think before daigo make your in "evo"... best parry ryu ever sf3

[@RyukendenY]

On 5:13 parry, there were 8 hits, break 7 hits.Usualy its 7 hits, break , 7 hits.Perhaps its just ps2 version.

[@KazuyaDStrika]

Very nice Vid, thx for upping

[@zooby11isbambam]

@lolmaomgawd you mean punch? or... what the hell do you mean?

[@Nogardo]

the parry's were impressive indeed. But I guess the ryu player knew his opponent very well. Often times Dudley tried a basic combo and Ryu could parry it perfectly. The chun-li ending was awesome

[@Sonic62920]

0:57 Aw, no perfect for you...

[@Haxzilog]

this ryu player can really match up to daigo this player is good he even parry chun li's super art in mid air, an unexpected parry unlike daigos he expected chun li to do a super art

[@Rofl_Dofl]

actually in any street fighter game timing is what mattered on the persons attack so you could hit them back with whatever attack you would use which i always did in this game i never used the parry system even though i liked it but it really wasnt that much needed if the person knew both well of the parry and which move to use then he would be the hardest guy or girl to challenge thats how i look at it

[@suchfunstuff]

The Ryu player just paces himself throughout the fight. He has control over the entire match.

[@JamesOGant]

And then as far as parrying random combos you just have to watch their move patterns. Like some players will almost always get into a robotic like combo set that they have memorized, like medium sweep you as soon as you get back up followed by super combo etc.

[@oddlywicked]

what type of control type character is dudley?

[@Vexinator]

In that first fight where Ryu came back from no health was mental!

[@1ButtonDash]

i'm not too familiar with SF3 even though I do have it on XBox, what's a red parry?

[@mariotaz]

....My god. Daigo!?

[@codec98]

I like how this was planned out, but it's still interesting to watch

[@Coltina666]

@TerryDax where I come from theres very few players for this game. So I have the same opponent every time. Though he is extremely skilled we can start predicting each others moves. but hes always a challenge

[@thewld2]

Those are some crazy ass parries he did at the end.

[@ral1983]

I love the soundtrack to this game dose any one know where i can get it??

[@nativefist9520]

This guy is sick, perfect timing. I was curious of the grade for the last fight. I still make time for this game online. As well as about 4-5 other freaking capcom games. SF5 better bring back the parry. Dark souls thank you.

[@HVDondeck]

The only reason everyone was so hyped up because: 1. That was most likely the 1st time they seen anything like that happen.. 2. Its the championship round in tourney.. GET HYPED PEOPLE!! 3. And Daigo basicly tricked Justin into doing it.. He knew he could parry all of it.. Get the crowd hype.. And win..

[@gtafan110010]

nice work, think that street fighter 3 had some of the best animations aswell

[@superbnns]

@WizardPlayHD Ryu: "I'm in your Street fighter, floating while parrying your Super."

[@mastermix3000]

they need to put this on all three consoles seriously i never played this one, yet it is the best one

[@gold3263301]

@TheFinderBinder It's technically 8, but most characters' parries push them back so one of the hits miss.

[@WerCNC]

@CtrlAltDaLEET are u sure dudley is mixed cuz that will help lower his god tier status he set for in SSF4 lol

[@personM4N]

@fanaruto1 Chun-Li: OH, GOD, NOT AGAIN!!

[@BrannanClark3027]

there making a new HD remake version of this game like they did super street fighter 2 HD remix cant wait to play it again with my marvel vs capcom 2 ps3 arcade stick

[@Rivalman]

this is on you tube somewhere, I thought this was a French tourney or something?

[@gamersupreme793]

@IRRULE where do u live???

[@destroya333]

I may be wrong but only 2 throws were attempted in the whole video and only 1 landed.

[@Trixiaoyu]

@WizardPlayHD Daigo did the same thing at the Evo 2004 Expo.

[@Midaki]

Chun-Li had to be like "OH WHAT THE HELL COME ON" right there, hahaha. Very nice playing from Ryu.

[@SwordXEvil]

back it up?

[@bensegar]

this game is old. so those who had it in 1999 wud be the same guys playing in tournaments now.....at the end of the day its all about how much practice u got in or how much u played the game. I managed to do it in practice mode in like half hour.

[@haijto]

the comeback was freakin' awesome!

[@kevinvandorst]

amazing parry! nice!

[@Zellieth]

Ryu's sa2 needs to connect in order to do a lot of damage. Akuma has power but lacks defense. If you get locked in a combo you could easily lose 1/3 of your health. Ryu's shoryuken also has a lot of cooldown if you miss, plus it's easy to parry or expect a shoryuken anti-air defense. Chun li, ken, yun for sure.
