I've only played a little third strike but god i cant stop watching it. It's so thrilling. I don't know if it's the animations or the parries but it just feels so... true. It feels like I'm really watching digital martial arts
Those are the best fighting games. No gimmicks. No craziness. Thats why the original SF2 was huge. Also check out the Alpha series. The 2D games are all amazing and all about spacing, footsies and execution.
@@guitaroach Yep. The older games are much more grounded. Now more than ever there is fighting games that ignore neutral completely with whacky characters and crazy specials. But good job clinging on a word haha
@@lightup6751 i mean, to think that older FGs didnt have any gimmicks or knowledge checks is silly, cuz they def had some jank stuff too. But if you just saying you prefer simpler grounded fighting games, I mean thats cool too.
I say this as a COMPLETE beginner, but that unblockable setup you did during the character overview is absurdly hard. TTH is impossibly hard too. I practiced for close to 10h and got TTH once in training mode, let alone any setups. The beginner experience is moreso spamming normals, dropping motion inputs and feeling utterly and completely lost. This just ain't how getting into 3S felt like to me.
A beginner also has little to no knowledge about the game. Like, yeah, I've watched a lot of 3rd Strike, but I'm not retaining that info, thinking about it, and using it.
Watch dr steel hammers leaving Mongolia series. For tth make sure to do the first tackle as soon as possible, many people make the mistake of waiting a split second longer which ultimately drops the combo. If you nail the first tackle the rest should be easy.
TTH is not necessary to even touch as a complete beginner. Tackle Chop is a good enough option. There's also an easier "babies first unblockable" that you can learn and reliably land in a real match
I'm so glad this is the fighting game that my friends made popular amongst our classmates in high school. This made it my the first fighting game I truly got deep into. Especially 2007 and senior year 2008, we had a lot of active players in town
Whoa, reading thag gave me MAD flashbacks. GOOD flashbacks, too. My friend Nathan stumbled across EVO Moment #37 on TH-cam somehow, and thus he showed it to me. And having played various SF's in my younger years, I was all in. We slowly roped in one new person at a time, and eventually we had a nice little playgroup active, from like 2008-2012. I graduated in 2007, and Nathan still had one more year left, so I remember waiting for him to get outta school and warming up in the Training mode to try and body him immediately first game 🤣🤣🤣 good times, good times. It sucks it sort of all fell apart as life took us all in different directions, you would think one thing that would be able to transcend all that would be fighting games, but sadly not in this case. I'm sure they all still play individually, just like I do. I need to find a new group come to think of it
@@agillesp Ah damn, yea sadly not anywhere close to Seattle, I probably should've mentioned in my initial post that I'm from the DFW area, Texas. And yea I've jumped on Fightcade before, sucks though bc right now I have no internet haha.
@@conkyjoe8932 nice. im in the dfw area too and having a great time learning sf6. interested in sf3 but not sure if i shout just get the steam version or not
Everybody loves watching the come up. I just said this on Brian's community post about road to warlord popping off, but it's such an easy to follow storyline it's easy to watch and enjoy. It's also hype to see you learning a new character at the same time, and I'm realizing I get to live all my charge character dreams vicariously through you. I just can't commit to changing up how I play for that archetype but they're so cool so often, and it's super frustrating.
Before fightcade existed there was a much smaller community on another service like 15 years ago, I played at like 3am local time and the only other person online was guy from Egypt who was an absolute demon, I would play him everynight for hours, I don't think I even took a round off him for the first few weeks. Than I started to take some rounds off him and eventually beat him the odd time Throwing myself at this demon everynight for like a month made me ok at this game. He didn't even speak English so no talking just fighting.
Feel like most fighting games that are still played, but are quite old, have a really serious BARRIER for anyone not already a storied veteran. You're walking into a school full of blackbelts, and you've got your yellow, goin' "uh...so, let's spar!"
In the arcades when I played this, I already knew if I would win or lose. If a player comes up and says, "Hello, do you mind if I fight you?" oh I already knew I would whip them. However, if someone came up, didn't say a word, just inserted a coin and hit start no matter what I was doing in the match, then it was gonna be a real fight.
My best friend and I would play this in the arcades and he said it back then that 3S was too far ahead of it’s time. We would locally and go out of state to play other players. Fun times man. Especially drumming the buttons to Ryus Kobu theme with the other arcade cabinets
@@lightup6751 fightcade includes no roms and is perfectly legal if you want, you can buy the arcade machines to legally acquire the roms if you're not rich just pirate them lol

Funny that you'd start this series now! I started third strike about 4 days ago. I only played SFV, and mained Balrog there. Truly an average player, as I only reached gold rank. As of right now, I'm playing Makoto and still getting my confirms down (Hayate into SA1 is a pretty challenging link). As soon as I get that down, I'll follow you in ranked path. Pretty fun game, I'm really enjoying it.
Nice! About Hayate into SA1, if you didn't know already, piano-ing your keys can give you like 2x-6x the amount of tries to get the link! I immediately tried learning double fukiage combos when I started playing 3S. I think I stayed up until 4 AM and only got it a handful of times... Anyway, good luck!
I remember I got to C rank during quarantine after 4 years and popping off. It may be a small thing, Im still at a low intermediate/high beginner level I think but its the little victories that matter the most.
Niiiice! It's a very interesting challenge because nobody does retro games ranking-up on public. I've never seen anything like this. Good luck! Looking forward to the future episodes
You can never have enough 3rd Strike in your life. Maybe the sickest Fighting Game what is out where on the market. It also is my favorite Fighting Game and it made me appreciate old school Fighting Games a lot more and motivated me to try out more of these Games. Definitely exited to see more. Also enjoy your Videos, the recent Videos where a huge step up in my opinion. Keep up the good work. 👍
This almost definitely doesn't reflect how it would be for a beginner getting into 3rd strike for the first time because you certainly know 3rd strike pretty well and on top of that looks like you already know Urien. But still i learned some things while watching you play, and i enjoyed the video a lot :)
Started playing 3rd Strike 4 months ago learning the game is a adventure by it self then comes the hidden techniques that are 20~yr's old. It's hard to start 3rd strike but i never had so much fun playing a game and getting my ass beat. One of the best fighting games i've played. Hitting any hit combo seems hard but ultra satisfying when you accually do it.
I started playing fighting games casually about 3 years ago because I used to mainly play RPGs but started a job where I worked almost 70 hours a week. I didn’t have the time to put into an RPG and get any enjoyment out of. I grew up playing MK with some of my childhood friends. They were always way more into it than me. I’m high school I playing MK 9 quite a bit but not online or completely. I didn’t even know there was a competitive scene. 3 years ago when I was at that job I got the street fighter 30th anniversary collection and I loved third strike! Just the art style of it really drew me in. Alpha 3 did too but not like 3rd strike. I started doing research and watching videos and I’m still nothing more than extremely casual at all the fighting games I play but I really want to dedicate to getting to the next level. I don’t have a pc but I need to get on Fightcade and start getting my ass beat so I can finally learn!
Do you remember/have you ever played an older game called Bloody Roar where your fighter could turn into an animal also? Think I played it on the GameCube, but that game had some pretty insane combo involving switching back and forth between human and animal.
I know it's not optimal but I love Ibuki's SA2. Nothing more satisfying then when you are close to an opponent and do it and it just eats their life bar.
This is a fun video, but let's be honest here, just because you're playing as a new character doesn't mean all the other 3rd Strike knowledge you've accrued over the years just suddenly vanish; you are literally always going to do better than a real 1st-time player today, I can tell without ever having played the game. I just recently got into SF6 as my first SF game and I love it but I've been really enjoying watching 3rd Strike and I've been thinking I might try to download FightCade and learn how to play in the near future (especially since it doesn't seem like we're gonna get any 3rd Strike characters in SF6 any time in the foreseeable future,) but I somehow doubt I'm going to do as well as you're doing in this video when I decide to do that.
To everyone learning third strike, I want you all to know that the fighting game experience is a grueling experience. With motion inputs being inconsistent and players who seemingly know everything. I won't give anyone a pep talk. But as a complete beginner learning this game was a tall mountain. It was easy to be discouraged and frustrated. But the progress you go just by continuing to play, the game goes from a torture session to a dance. Just a tip to send you off. Play a simple character in your first few days weeks, until you get the feel of the inputs and the game. Then move on to the cool characters. Even if you play for urien or makoto, you wont be playing the game if you don't parry that denjin, or anti air that jump-in. And don't give up. If you give up, then you wont get the experience that the other players use to eat you up like lunch. But you probably knew all that so heres the big secret for beginners... Dont press buttons if you dont know what will happen after. If you press crouching medium kick just to do something with your character, you will experience pain. Give it a bit more thought, like pressing crouching medium kick to keep the opponent away from throw range.
The thing that makes learning a game fun, i feel i should mention, is if you can get whooped and still enjoy your matches. As a beginner, you _will_ get whooped, no matter how gard you research and/or try. If you can lose and still enjoy the process, you're home-free. Third strike checks that box for me. Parries especially make the game have more sauce that can make it fun to lose in a sort of "yeah man you deserve this win" way. Not a bad feeling to get styled on all the time, at least for me.
B Rank in 3S is definitely a good rank. I would compare it to being a 1400/1500mr Master in SF6. I am a B rank in ST, but just getting started with 3S and I am a C rank there. I feel that the skill level of C ranks in 3S is quite good in terms of fundamentals. You find decent C players in 3S, but they are only decent by playing like it's SF2, once they fight people who are playing 3S in the unique way that 3S is played, they crumble.
Bro I literally lost like 20 in a row when I 1st picked it up, it's been a little over a year now and I have a 1700 with about 900 wins and around the same amount of losses. It's been a grind and it started out bad but I slowly got better and better, I'm still not top tier but I'm still improving also
Enjoy the process dude. I’m a long time Tekken player who has picked up 3rd Strike via enjoying SF6. I’m out of my depth but it’s such a great game I must get good.
Just hopped into 3rd strike for the first time ever and it quickly is becoming my favorite SF. May skip 6 because I’m enjoying it so much. Really wish Capcom would have adopted the old school, sprite-based, look for VI.
Swivel's a real one for repping Q in my book. That Ibuki deserves props, they had you going. Speaking of going Both the Dudley and Akuma deserve to be in C rank like you ended up in (IK the Dudley is, but y'know)
With the Ibuki SA2 against urien: I main hugo, and I usually will take Gigas Breaker into Urien when he tries to do his Aegis corner setup. If you tech roll out of his setups, or are able to catch him in a grounded position, you can pretty much always wake up super with command grabs to get out of aegis. As soon Urien catches on, you have to start using it more sparingly lmao
Most good Urien players i see and one of my friends who does play alot of charge chars ( UR,Q,Alex) he does Uriens lp fierball > super cancel Aegis reflector. It might be better for timing of the setup if its hard to parry fierball then mirror in 2 odd timings or if its esier to get the super while the special move is out and you get to buffer super before animations end.
As an Ibuki main that started 15 or more years ago here on FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE, super art II works fully as a command grab for Max damage or its secondary use at least for me it gets used similar to Chuns fireball super which is a anti Air for multiple hits or chip out
oh haha. I've been playing third strike for a few weeks with two friends... it's fun, though i am not able yet to do hcb inputs or dp inputs super comfortably...much less flex execution combos
I've only played a little third strike but god i cant stop watching it. It's so thrilling. I don't know if it's the animations or the parries but it just feels so... true. It feels like I'm really watching digital martial arts
Its the same for the Alpha games and Super SF2. The 2D games were all about footsies, mind games and execution with no gimmicks
he's a good youtuber
They don't make fighting games like they used to.
it's the love man. you're feeling the love. no other game has me like 3rd strike.
Its addictive AF
I just love how simple you make a fighting game with so many technical details (for a newcomer like me)
It’s so much fun when you get good, you just gotta really trust the process and find some homies that would wanna play with you
Those are the best fighting games.
No gimmicks. No craziness.
Thats why the original SF2 was huge. Also check out the Alpha series. The 2D games are all amazing and all about spacing, footsies and execution.
@@lightup6751 a fighting game with no gimmicks? lol

I got to C rank on fightcade last week after being stuck in D rank for forever. Third Strike is such a fun game to grind.
just do some more parries and you'll get b or b+
"i went from Very Bad to Kind of Okay and it only took forever! what a fun game"

Third strike checks that box for me. Parries especially make the game have more sauce that can make it fun to lose in a sort of "yeah man you deserve this win" way. Not a bad feeling to get styled on all the time, at least for me.

Bro I literally lost like 20 in a row when I 1st picked it up, it's been a little over a year now and I have a 1700 with about 900 wins and around the same amount of losses. It's been a grind and it started out bad but I slowly got better and better, I'm still not top tier but I'm still improving also
Enjoy the process dude. I’m a long time Tekken player who has picked up 3rd Strike via enjoying SF6.
I’m out of my depth but it’s such a great game I must get good.
Love the mini series really fun.
This is hype! Keep this kinda content coming
Just hopped into 3rd strike for the first time ever and it quickly is becoming my favorite SF. May skip 6 because I’m enjoying it so much. Really wish Capcom would have adopted the old school, sprite-based, look for VI.
You'll have to get over it, they did really well with 3d graphics and perfected it in 6. Sprites are becoming super costly, and it isn't everything.
Man I feel this comment. I smashed through the World tour mode of SF6 and all it did is ignite in me a deep desire to play 3rd Strike.
im playing that game too 2024.. and i like it, one of my favorite
No doubt hommie. Be positive broski.
You can do it...
Your vid’s make my day bro thank you
FINALLY you play somebody I main. Urien Has timeless gameplay,i Can play urien in the middle of the night
12:27 seeing this interaction made me want to vomit I hate urien so much (and the Dudley is playing my color too extra painful)
Swivel's a real one for repping Q in my book. That Ibuki deserves props, they had you going. Speaking of going
Both the Dudley and Akuma deserve to be in C rank like you ended up in (IK the Dudley is, but y'know)
With the Ibuki SA2 against urien:
I main hugo, and I usually will take Gigas Breaker into Urien when he tries to do his Aegis corner setup. If you tech roll out of his setups, or are able to catch him in a grounded position, you can pretty much always wake up super with command grabs to get out of aegis. As soon Urien catches on, you have to start using it more sparingly lmao
For the next video could you make your camera a little bit smaller so that the enemy bar is visible? I'm looking forward to this series
ggs JM, I'll see you around. I keep hovering from B to C
Gotten back into SFIII:3rd Strike recently with Ibuki (thinking of checking out Alex).
I love jm 3s videos, we need more!!!!
Most good Urien players i see and one of my friends who does play alot of charge chars ( UR,Q,Alex) he does Uriens lp fierball > super cancel Aegis reflector.
It might be better for timing of the setup if its hard to parry fierball then mirror in 2 odd timings or if its esier to get the super while the special move is out and you get to buffer super before animations end.
They have third strike at my laundromat lol
Soooo sick
Great series, keep it up!
Pretty new to 3rd Strike (5 years), one of the super rare games where you can still have fun losing online.
I already love this series. Hope you make it to B!
please make more, fun watch. Also i will do anything for a new Tatsunoko vs Capcom video. the people need it
I am learning this on my mobile phone. Learning ken right now.
Gonna love this series
Great video JM
I say continue this series, I like "Unranked to X" style series and good luck on the climb.
6:38 going to try this. thank you.
Just started playing this game is so fun
Iv thought about starting with 3rd strike as my first street fighter game
love brianf series and love this one too
Considering how helpful people are in discord, it's totally possible.
which discord?
Insta-save for the Necro play during the intro
I'm not great at 3rd Strike, I'm in D Rank, but there a ton of people at my skill level to fight and the game feels so great to play
As an Ibuki main that started 15 or more years ago here on FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE, super art II works fully as a command grab for Max damage or its secondary use at least for me it gets used similar to Chuns fireball super which is a anti Air for multiple hits or chip out
This is something that us guys want to see more of
If you want to main Urien you should learn to do Tackle Tackle Headbutt (cr.HP>MK tackle>MK tackle>MP headbutt), great damage with no ex use
oh haha. I've been playing third strike for a few weeks with two friends... it's fun, though i am not able yet to do hcb inputs or dp inputs super comfortably...much less flex execution combos
how you commentate your own matches is impressive
You're the best, man!
Ive been playing for a week, the start was rough but im starting to win some matches against my fellow D ranked ^^
Don’t give me hope, JM. Don’t make me pick up the arcade stick again and remind myself that I can’t parry to save my ass!
Doing TTH fairly consistenly is one of the hallmarks becoming good with urien
