It’s pretty bizzare you would call it “mash” when it clearly says “charge”. You don’t mash anything , you hold down the punch button . You can make the charge faster by spinning the stick 360. If you mash during denjin you will actually release the fireball at 1 hit .
I like Jcroffs mood, He’s always friendly and a charming happy person, He’s one of the few fighting game TH-camrs that i see a smile on his face, U dont get alot of that nowadays its cool man, He’s always in a good mood for his viewers no matter what day, W person
It says ため(tame) which means "for the sake of (the denjin hadouken?)" I really don't understand why it says that. In the English translation it does say hold tho.
@@javjuegos_8917 I don't have a full understanding of the grammar involved, but I know that it this context, it's referring to storage; specifically continuing the button press. It's a roundabout way of saying it, but it tracks. A couple of other examples of it being used in this context are Ace's move in Street Fighter EX3 "Chikara Tame," which in that context means power storage. There's also a Japanese fighting game term called "tame bunkatsu," (store partition) which is how they refer to charge partitioning. But that was a little complex to say in my original comment and I wasn't 100% certain I remembered it right off the top of my head (I looked it up again since), so I figured it would be better and more straightforward to just say what they'd officially translated it to instead.
As wild as Denjin was in 3S, it used to be even wilder. In Second Impact (the version of SF3 which preceded 3rd Strike), you had two Denjins to play with (and there were no red parries).
Highly punishable if parried. Hard knockdown is always the way to go for denjin setups. Only good in the corner, midscreen it gets your shit pushed in.
@thefgcsensei4482 white bread and bread in general are awful for you, our boy would never partake. Water without ice metabolizes into your system faster, our boy is all about staying hydrated.
The power of Denjin requires both Satsui No Hadou (Killing Intent) and Mu No Hadou (Power of Nothingness) to create an electric current. It is the ultimate form of projectile mastery, and to use it is to show that you(The Player) understand the meaning of balance.
I love that he’s always just having fun, playing obscure games, doing fun little competitions with other people. I try to have a similar attitude with fighting games, like “they’re just neat!”
The icon means hold, not mash. In fact it never says you can mash, churn to make it charge faster. Love that Denjin was a knowledge check in early 3s. If you picked it people didn't know you can't block it at first. Throw a fireball at a different speed and could threaten from mid to close range. Was a good meaty option as they had to invurn wake up or get the parry right. And Ryu already did gobs of stun damage as is, so could just put people into checkmate situations. Add to the fact that you can churn butter to adjust how many hits and stun it did to further disorient your opponent and it was a small super bar giving you both ex and super to play with and it covered so many options.
This is the second time I've heard that "People say jumping is bad" take. It's like saying wake-up Super is good. Like, yeah, when it hits and the opponent isn't expecting it, but you can't just do it all the time like Ken's Jinrai because you'll die, and that's why it's not considered good. How many times has Daigo lost a set because of Umeshoryu?
Def not broken if down to one bar and the moveset Ryu has. If the opponent also knows the setups. They can nulllyfy the super. Its a case of baseball. For the timing the denjin is thrown. Fastball, curve ball etc.
Until SF6 (and particularly his recent buffs,) 3S Ryu was the _best_ Ryu had ever been. I was surprised to learn that he kind of flew under the radar for a lot of people in that game because he was _so fun_ to use.
I never played 3rd strike seriously but every time I saw a ryu on TH-cam he was getting destroyed by akuma or makoto or chun li, didnt really cared about tournanents back then so I had no reasons to believe ryu was okish.
This is just not true, SF5 Ryu is still not very good and heavily outclassed. SFV Ryu was a solid high tier with incredible damage output a fantastic fireball, strong throw, strong block strings, and good pokes.
@@Bigsauce7593 SF4 Ryu was a generalist who could do a lot of things well, just not amazing, and in vanilla he was one of the few characters who had a reliable FADC setup to Ultra. Prior to 3S Ryu had this stigma of being a really boring poke and knockdown character with a heavy reliance on fundamentals. He wasn't as combo friendly and flashy as Ken or broken as Super Turbo Akuma/Old Sagat. Denjin Ryu was a paradigm shift that allowed players who knew how to use him do tricky setups and tactics that many thought Ryu wasn't capable of like EX Donkey Kick into meaty Denjin for stun and a 50% followup combo.
How do you get the text in the top right corner of the screen at the beginning saying Alt+1 Return to character select screen Alt+2 Gill Alt+3 Shin Gouki Is it a certain version on Fightcade or game option or just something else?
I just want take a minute and appreciate the energy you bring to each and every one of your videos. You're always good vibes and respectful and I just appreciate that so much Jimbo.
it was pretty sad that they gave this to sf5 ryu but then just took away the unblockable setups, and then just never bothered to make him a character after that
I still prefer Shinku just because of the fun combos you get from it, but also being able to use his godly red fireballs in neutral and Ex-Tatsu for much safer and damaging combo enders, more frequently. But, I do freaking love Denjin and think its way stronger over all by a long shot.
Its also worth noting that Twelve can walk under denjin if you ever fight one, use shinku. Also, shoutouts to Vanao. He was the one that changed my mind on denjin.
I actually really like Ryu in this game! He has everything he needs. Not overtuned or underwhelming. Probably the best balanced character in the game. He should be like this in every game! At least I think so.
Denjin Hadoken can parley into nothing less than a 2 hit combo if it hits your opponent & it's like a combination of the Fan Lift & jumping high 👊 fr. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3(coin-op) & 1 ❤d playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 in Seaside Heights during 1995!
Talk about Denji huh? Then I must remind u guys there is a Japanese player called 「電帝」, which means 「Thunder Emperor」(sth like tht). His name is Vanao - ヴァナヲ. He is one of the most active Denji Ryu player back at those day. He even 2-0 Justin Wang’s Chun Li at 2019 match. I start playing Street Fighter 3 since 1997 and I think I hv ever seen a Ryu play like tht way also strong enough to get in final match.
I'll be honest i always play ryu in sf3 especially 3rd strike and always pick denjin. I never play other version sf3, until recently i discovered denjin ryu in 2nd impact he have TWO METER instead of one. So capcom nerfed denjin ryu in 3rd strike? Or denjin ryu in 3rd strike have something else for compensation of being just 1 meter? Because i really didn't realize like at all before
I remember playing this game back when it came out, and for awhile SA3 on Ryu was actually thought of as terrible because of how little EX meter it gave you, and as you said Ryu has great EX moves in this game.
I'm willing to bet money that you won't see a single Ryu in Top 8. I'll go out on a further limb and say that EVEN IF a Ryu made Top 8, they wouldn't be using Denjin 🤷🏽

20 years ago i lived in the arcade and only played denjin ryu. You should cancel out of shoryu into it more. You can also meaty UOH into shoryu to hit confirm and cancel into denjin. On stun punish if you jab whiff before you combo you can FP or FK into MK into Ex donkey kick into F shoryu if you are just a bit off a kill. There are also some good guard strings you can do to set up a denjin like crouching lp lk lk mk hk into denjin this should put the opponent in a split second of guard stun while pushing you out of almost all non projectile ranges you can charge denjin faster by going diagonal to opposite diagonal instead of circle and then drop a fast 2-3 hits for a stun. Neutral game jump in with MP it hits twice and has all same links also empty jump in while waiting to parry can be a great mix-up to mp jump ins if you parry in air you can do your 3 hit combo if nothing comes you can grab soon as you land.
I'd rather watch this than Street Fighter 6. In my opinion SF3, 3S is a far better game is every way. Smart move to bring back a good Street Fighter game.
sf3 is always one i wanted to get better at but with it's thight executions you pretty much have to abandon new street fighters to master a old one players could drop at any point

@@cypresshill9268 Yea man
The writing says "Hold."
Yeah you can hear he does it correctly but he says mash which is funny
The way I was taught to charge it was by doing 360 inputs while holding the button. In other words, constantly moving the D-pad in a circular motion.
It says ため(tame) which means "for the sake of (the denjin hadouken?)" I really don't understand why it says that.

This version of Ryu, Is one of the biggest reasons I love him a lot from 3rd Strike. Broken. Yes, but it was so different.
It wasn't broken. Ryu was the worst shoto in the game since Sean might as well don't exist in TS.

I just came here to say one thing.
............denjin cheap
Top tier is Chun yun/yang makoto and Dudley then either Ken or Akuma. Ryu ain’t even up there lol
Might have been broken, but it was by far the most fun of Ryu's supers. The other 2 were boring.

sf3 is always one i wanted to get better at but with it's thight executions you pretty much have to abandon new street fighters to master a old one players could drop at any point
I do always love when Ryu has some sauce and isn't just kind of a meh character.
Full charge is holding punch, then maybe mashing after releasing it
shoutouts to frankie3s coming out of the car with so much smoke it looks like a pro wrestler entrance. that man is the king of weed
He was using shinkuu vs akuma cause akuma can teleport out of denjin traps
What version of 3S is this? What did those Alt + # things mean on the character select?
does the parry timing change depending on charge as well? like the time between each tap?
I love Street Fighter 3 but I can't say I miss Denjin 😂
What’s the best way to play this online on PC?
Ryu and his donkey kick have always been top tier and op.
