Sean is better than you think in Street Fighter 3.

- We're back with more Street Fighter 3: Third Strike! 3s has one character who is often looked at as SHOCKINGLY low on the tier list: Sean. (okay Twelve too.) But I believe Sean can actually be pretty scary in the right hands, especially if you don't know how to deal with his moves. Here's some gameplay from Fightcade, I'm playing Ibuki, hope you enjoy!

Everyone knows Elena has the most busted stage counterpick because the beats are in HER head! Throws off my rhythm every time.
Do you mean the beats the beats the the beats the beats?
Shall we dance?
@@CinemaSeven you mean the beats the beats the beats beats the beats the beats beats the beats the beats beats in my head?
Also; picking Elena will cause the opponent to struggle, as they will only be able to hold the controller with one hand.

I love the idea of a non-regular viewer hopping into this stream/video and being like "Omg this guy has a John for everything!" not knowing that JM is probably one of the most wholesome FGC guys out there
That was me. I had never heard of the guy till I happen to come across an mvc2 vid and I enjoy every vid I've watched since. JM is the man
People are just simply playing him wrong.
ggs bro, love it and love your content! I want another runback! lol
I hope Sean makes a return in SF6 as an older version. That's if SF6 takes place after 3rd strike. Who knows.
Looks like it probably will based on today’s teaser.
It is after 3rd strike because Ryu has overcome the satsui no hado
@@dawnstartheanimeman did the old man train him?
They should give him long locs and make him a complete chad 😂😢
From kimberly's win quote against ken maybe sean is her uncle?
As a sean player gotta love to see one of our repping. Basketball into super with Sean is classic, I use the hadouken super with basketball to bait players so they dash into the super and still take a hit from the basketball.
As a Sean player i appreciate this.
Agreee
Same
All Sean players appreciate this video (including me)
You gotta love it when a person can play a character they love vs playing only top tiers. You don’t see Sean played much at all, but to see him played at this level was fun to watch.
To be honest yes, it's very much true that he's perfect for checking if people know their OWN character.
He's like Elena and Q in the regard that people usually don't learn the matchup due to them being low tier.
Q is low tier? Wow I wouldn't think so he's very complete only lacks speed but with the power he packs you don't need it
@@bn137 the fact that his moves are so slow is largely why he's low tier, having g power doesn't mean much if you can't hit them
@@ryanjackson6298 lol in sf3 that doesn't matter the parry system. Makes everyone dangerous especially those who take more damage plus Q can buff himself. To take less damage I don't like using him personally. Yet when your playing a good Q they seem like the juggernaut.
@@bn137agreed
I love how ibuki casually summons bae for a win pose.
imagine being ibukis boyfriend just fucking teleporting suddenly to a random place like how do you take that
"he only won cause I lost"
He got salty
That grab slam to the ground animation, is pretty soothing.
You know....i'm using Sean as my main, i can assure you: HE SUCKS HARD.
But i'm still using him cause of his nice animation specials and his style.
Sean is a elite player for elite street fighter players
I love Shawn's good old unsafe on hit frame a billion overhead
Man! This game still looks amazing!
just imagine, if that sean player.... EVER PARRIED.
Sean can be dangerous if you know how set the basketball trick
8:36 that music sync was godly though
and before you say that's just a natural part of third strike, i meant it synced well with the cutoff point
Love the content! I appreciate the attitude that you bring to fighting games
funny im a sfv player who just recently got into sf3 third strike and i learning the game through sean to get familiar with him in the hopes he makes it in the sf6 roster.
Great fights, definitely nice to see some Sean fights.
9:03 "Are you joking me?"
😶🌫️😶🌫️ damn crofts got jokinged?
Sean is essentially meant to be a joke character… which I’ve always found kind of strange because he’s not THAT bad. He’s not as bad as Alpha Dan or MVC Roll or something.
also his moves were made "bad" on purpose, most of his moves require commitment.
Weird cuz he was good in Second Impact
Dude heck yeah Sean is my favorite character always!!!!!
As a resident owner of the name Sean. I am distraught that he is a bad character in a fighting game I never played.
Don't worry, he's top tier in 2nd Impact
@@warren_waters TORNADEEEEEE
Keep fighting the good fight out here Crofts
I tell all of my sparring partners that if they want to see someone who competes for the sake of competition that there's a textbook example out there
As a sean player I’m glad to see this video lol. Sean in Giant Attack is a problem!
Sean was my main in third strike online. Rolling under denjin hadokens and throwing backwards to put into corner
Sad how much he was nerfed from 2nd Impact
They didn't need to nerf him THAT MUCH but a nerf was needed
Everyone knows that your character gets a boost with homefield. Chun-Li on her stage? Nye impossible to beat.
All I really wanna see is more whiffed buttons, I didn’t see you build more than one super at a time. That’s next in your repertoire to add! Good stuff JM!
Cheeky 1-3 2Ms in neutral at full screen, the 3rd Strike special
Sean is just underrated
bro Sean is a beast
If you're familiar with the lolcow DSP, every character he picks gets their ass beat down by a Sean player.
I wish I could be friends with dragonflies. That sounds dope.
If u run into someone who knows what they doing with Sean you are done
You’re the man for playing Ibuki.
9:25 - 9:32 you have to give it to him 😩
I really like your content sir, always a good show whether it be combo based or historical. Great work :)
Some notes on Sean's matchup:
- Sean players often rely on supers, his only good TC, and his gimmicky mixups to do damage. His combo damage sucks
- Sean tackle is often kept hidden in a long set. This is so that the opponent won't expect it and is conditioned to all the other Sean stuff. A sudden ex tackle in neutral can catch even experienced players off guard. But he almost always has one chance to use it.
- His tatsu is unsafe on hit! Punish him for it
- wheel kick is tricky at first, but most Sean players utilize it after a crouching forward, or an oki to force an opponent to guess if it'll hit meaty and attempt to parry. If they parry and Sean misses, Sean gets to throw you. If they block and Sean connects, the situation is mostly safe for Sean.
- Basketball is easily negated by guarding. If you parry the ball you open yourself to throws. Just guard, since that ends up negating throw and his overhead game kinda sucks.
- SA1 and SA3 is a single parry
- A rolling Sean is very vulnerable, but makes you think he's invincible to certain attacks.
- His crouching hurtbox is bigger than Ryu and Ken. Certain attacks will hit a crouching Sean but whiff on Ryu and Ken
This is how I felt about Hakan? People would just let me get away with shit all the time back in the day.
man sean is top tier ub sf 3 right under alex Sean really can break anyone down in that game
I’m watching this video again…I might have to take a break from SFV to show people how to REALLY use Sean
It's really sad what they did to sean in 3rd strike he was legit good in the first two games
Thanks for all the recent 3s content, could you do a video on how to beat akuma ?
Just because a character is bad, doesn't mean you shouldn't learn the matchup!
I think Sean is very good against Ryu Ken and akuma because they require offensive momentum to be effective. Sean has so many different ways of knocking you to the ground and slowing down the fight that you can't do enough damage to make up for the damage he's doing to you...
A lot of people don’t realize Sean was really great in 2nd Impact, like almost broken actually
Yeah I just don't understand how Sean can be considered the worst in 3S when 12 exists.
It's a weird one. Sean doesn't have any favorable match-ups with anyone in the cast, while 12 has one or two. It really depends on how you interpret who is the worst one. 12 is the worst because, while he may have those favorable match-ups, he essentially just loses against anyone else. Sean is weird because being the worst shoto in the game still means he is a shoto, so a lot of the common characteristics ensures you won't get instantly bodied by anyone if you know the character well, but it still means he doesn't have an ideal scenario where he can effectively win.
Shout out to Gojitenks.
Sean is still alive !
jmcrofts please do not encourage more D rank fightcaders to try to make this character a secret top tier, he is already a blight
Man really picked Sean, to say to people "You're going to Brazil"
Hi jmcrofts if u read this have a good day
Yes yes👏🏻 a good one in deed mr jmcrofts sir
The best Sean is SUV!
Yoooo I wasnt subscribed, Im shocked, well, now I am!
JM I love your content, but I wouldn't consider this a "good" Sean. I've seen WAY better in my day. He's decent practice though. As always though...nice video.
Sean has the best theme though...at least in the online version
Sean landed the MP< but failed to follow up with the HK..
After playing normal rounds, my friend and I always do sean mirror matches for fun. So hard to do big punishes with him.
I love Sean. He is one of the worst characters in the game but he's fun to play with if you're invested in him
I love this game too. It became my main fighting game a few months ago. I want to get good too even though it's hard and I'm way way behind lol
My older brother hates Akuma's stage because his theme makes you feel like you need to fight aggressively
His tornado kick isn't safe on hit
I just want to know what possessed Capcom to make Sean into Dan Hibiki 2.0...
People were playing Sean over Ryu and Ken... That's why.
@@carinhatube3727 Who weren't even supposed to be in the game in the first place!
@@Davethe3rd You know how CAPCOM works.
They can't have their favorite characters getting replaced.
#bringSeanbackinSF
The thing is, in a game with parries a shitty character who gets some good reads can still feel like a strong pick
😂😂😂 first he talks good about Sean and then Sean started kicking his ass and right away he called Sean a trash ass character 🤔
So what exactly is it that made Sean so powerful in 2nd Impact? Just the funky Tornado which started up FASTER with heavier input?
I haven't played 3rd Strike online in years, but I always lost handedly to every Sean I came across
Sean Main here woooo!
I wonder if I've ever fought him before...
Woo hoo! More Ibuki!! 😁
Sean is a great character, they should have made him stronger.
In 2I he was a lot stronger, had some really nasty stuff! They nerfed him hard for 3S but I've still seen players repping him really well. Both Justin Wong and Max have recently put videos up their channels where they both met the same Sean player on Fightcade and he was super good. He's the guy that Daigo parried JWong in a recent game, so you'll see it on the thumbnail. I love to see people maining the characters they love, regardless of tier, and making it work :)
By the story he's just suppose to be a student that's why he's not stronger
"TORNAY"
Sean is my main
The problem with people using Sean is that they try to use him like other Shoto characters…you gotta use him like he’s his own character. His gameplay and normals are very similar to Dhalsim than anyone else. Sean is top tier!
ok fine, I will subscribe.
am i crazy or does Sean drop back and out more? like dropped out of that air super and when you bounce of to kunai hes like not in the norma place.
How do you throw the basketball using Sean
Guys why does fightcade log me out during games?
Cuz i hate it when it disconnects me during the match
Play against Dagger G his Remmy is legendary
5:09 wait I am confused. Is he saying that in an ibuki mirror match she wins 7:3? It's a mirror match... 5:5...
Its a joke playing off the little bit the chat started of looking for excuses if he lost to sean.
Sean isn't terrible in 3s, there's just no reason to play him (competitively) when Ken exists.
@@MatF1 I'm all for people playing what they like, I was just responding to the topic of the video, because they were implying that Sean was a bad character.
Sean isn't terrible, he's just a watered down Ken.
@@MatF1 also, I don't agree with your comment that I'm saying "just play Chun" because my point was that Sean and Ken have very similar skillsets. For example, Elena is a worse version of Chun, but dissimilar to grapplers or shotos.
@@MatF1 I dunno, I was considered one of the best 3s players in America, finished top 3 in multiple majors and represented the US at the first SBO in Japan. What have you done?
@@MatF1 Elena at a competitive level is essentially fishing her cr mp to confirm to super and mixing with Kara throw, that's it. The rest of her moveset is garbage because of how easy it is to parry. Last comment from me, not trying to get into social media back and forth. Ggs Mat.
Sean is great in SF3, probably the best. Sean is abysmal and terrible in Third Strike, a real Dan without the humor
How do I play this game? I would love to join a discord and learn the game
Sean is a ok character u really have to master the move set . I prefer oro or ibuki.
ah yes, the low tier MU knowledge advantage...the classic. You can destroy anyone if they aren't ready for your kit.
Doesn't maximilian dood beast with Sean?
This Sean has no idea what he's doing actually.
He plays like ken in sf5
i just foguht a rank B main shaun. he destroyed me, this shaun looks like a baby compared to the one im talking of
Where to play this online ?
Oh no… Sean is not “one” of the weakest characters. That honor belongs to 12, Remy, and Q. Sean is bottom one in 3s and deserves it
but WHICH SF3?
Never seen a Sean player before
PACHIKASU
What I meant is when I played I have never seen or played against a Sean player
You only won cause I lost 😂😂😂😂
My C rank Sean can win vs D rank and sometimes C rank top tier char in fightcade XD
gojitanks
I never understood the basis if your monologue. Sean is not THAT bad. People just aren't that good. Good luck blocking basketball Oki once a good sean gets going.
