i think it's cool that even the charge characters use double quarter circle inputs for super. def easier (for me) than holding a charge and going back and forth in a direction.

[@paulblankenship6737]

You also can use charge partition so you dont need to hold a dircection before doing a charge move,you precharge it . Watch some videos on it youll enjoy it

[@GyroMan5136]

agreed charge supers are yyyuck

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

I think charge motion supers are pushing it too far with the charge. Granted, I'm the idiot who thinks every charge character should have at least 1 motion special (for scenarios where they don't have charge), but still, all motion supers is really good for everyone.

[@DrunkDudley]

@@paulblankenship6737 no one in the right mind will ever enjoy charge partitioning or charge characters, if they do they are probably mentally unstable persons, I know a few xD , they are so hard its fucked up, like Tackle Tackle Headbutt is ridiculous hard and almost a bread and butter for Urien Players.

I have never played 3rd strike, I actually only play Tekken. One of the few games you don’t play much. But you have a great personality and I love that you bring a community together to share fighting games. It makes me feel like I have friends, even though I don’t

[@walterburdzy5408]

We know that execution is optional for these combos since they're only 1.33 frame links, not 1 frame links. It's totally fine.

[@vmu3253]

The element of visible progress throughout the video and being able to watch them without having to watch any of the previous one's are a big draw of these trial videos.

[@christianroop4664]

I don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself when you finish these combos. Super entertaining stuff dude

[@ToonNick]

I enjoyed your insight on how the algorithm works, how you view the statistics, and your strategies based on those. Also your content in general is nice, that was a cherry on top to your already fun stuff :)

[@DudeWatIsThis]

Fun fact: Sean says "TORNEI!!", which does exist in Portuguese, but it doesn't mean "tornado", it means "came back". As in: "I came back because I forgot my keys". Effort the game creators put into that: 0

[@Dilitrium]

Then that would be an abbreviation of retornei (which means came back). Tornei means I became. Me tornei uma pessoa melhor - I became a better person

[@hiverhythm]

SA1 is used on necro occasionally, a bit rare but I think it might be used against certain match ups- maybe Dudley if I recall correctly but I might be wrong on that one.

[@rugalbernstein7822]

I think the reason the buttons are called that is because those explain most of Ryus combos (ex: Ryus standing hard kick is a roundhouse kick)

[@unoriginalmoniker2625]

I got here, seeing difficult combo trials and wondering if they could be harder than KOF XIII's. Now, I'm subscribed and excited to see what's next.

Oh man I forgot about these trials, and as a Necro main, that 6 shoulder cannon hit is nuts. I've only done it once (not in a real match) but players like Sugiyama make it look piss easy ! Great vid mate.

[@b4ttlemast0r]

the OG name for 2MK is "crouching forward" afaik, so there's no ambiguity with "down forward"

@@HavokBringerof I've heard "low forward" quite a lot, but then I hear some people not like "low" because not every crouching move hits low. To which I say, you know what the hell I mean.

[@lionelsteele007]

You're probably correct. Those are the names of the buttons on the old Street Fighter arcade cabinet - and that predates Street Fighter II: World Warrior. At least, that's what was on the version that had buttons. Early versions had just one giant kick and punch button and, depending on how hard you hit, you got either 3 different versions of the attack: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lammiqaviLV6Y8k Those were gone pretty quickly because they broke constantly.

[@tracepalmatier9696]

Nice to see some 3rd Strike videos ! My favorite Street Fighter (characters design-music-stages gameplay ) enjoyed with cousin at the arcades and in college (now occasionally online PS4), would be coo to have a video of you having some online matches in the original 30th Anniversary version (online version is different) I use Gouki , Amazing how you can do the combos on all players , true Fighting gamer !
