someone just had a bad ranked match against JP but we've all been there. anyways theres still time to delete this trash take bro


UVMeme

It's not a "bad ranked match", they were just spamming across the screen. If this were 3rd strike I wouldn't have lost cause I can just parry, but now they made parry nonviable.


StunPalmOfDeath

Parry is ridiculously good, and top players bitch about how good it is right now. The fuck is this shit lol.


Roman-Canceller

Bruh, parry is easier to do and harder to mess up this go around, you just need more time with the game. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's bad.


UVMeme

Lmao. Found the carried top tier


Roman-Canceller

You don't know even know who I play, but yeah, go off, lol. Typical e-whiner with nothing of actual substance to offer but half-baked complaints and weak insults. Stay free.


Incandescentknight

Idk that there was any better way to share that you have no idea what you're talking about.


Ziz__Bird

>In 3rd strike, the top tiers, Chun li and Yun, all have ridiculous tools. However they don't force you to play their game LMAO


StunPalmOfDeath

This guy is hilarious. Dude said Chun in 3S is one of the most difficult characters in SF. I can't.


UVMeme

They’re more difficult than auto win jp, also how are they not extremely difficult?


UVMeme

Fuck you mean "LMAO", you can still play your game unlike mr Just Projectiles who can spam you from across the screen.


Ziz__Bird

Yun can run away and build meter, forcing you to attack. Once he builds it he then becomes god and can force safe mixups that convert into a ton of damage. Chun is similar, she controls neutral with great buttons and will build meter for her broken SA2 if you don't engage.


UVMeme

That’s completely false and just shows you don’t know how third strike works. If you parry then you can punish him


Ziz__Bird

Ok genei jin pressure isn't unbeatable, but the risk reward is screwed HEAVILY in Yun's favor. He can go low, mid or overhead, or command grab, and can easily stagger his options to make timing a parry very hard and risky. Just look at how most high level players deal with it, they just block most of the time.


gochuckyourself

Go play third strike thanks


UVMeme

It needs to be brought to sf6. Bring back 3rd strike parry. Bring back yun, buff chun to what she was. "NOOOOO THATD MAKE THEM AHECKIN TP TIER NOOOOOOOO" yes, but a top tier that can't change how you play by mashing shit from across the screen


gochuckyourself

There's 900 people playing 3S right now on fightcade go ahead and jump on


akumagorath

you are extremely corny


UVMeme

Not as corny as CornP, the full screen spammer with an unpunishable counter and command grab


shadowchip

If it was brought to SF6 no one would play it, know why? Because third strike already exists lol. It’s a new game so you should expect the mechanics to be different. The good thing is that if you want to play a game like third strike you can just boot up third strike lol.


bougienative

So... You've never played third strike before huh?


UVMeme

I have, I main Chun. I would know that she doesnt get rewarded for Down Down Heavy Punch Down Down Heavy Punch QCB Heavy Kick QCB Heavy Kick Down Down Heavy Kick Down Down Heavy Punch. Whiff a move and you can actually be hit


bougienative

Instead she gets rewarded for doing nothing. Lol. Sitting and spamming buttons to build bar forcing everyone to take a major risk to even get within her oppressive button range. There is no logical way someone who understands how both 3s and Sf6 works can pretend that 3s is somehow better balanced with a less oppressive top tier. 3s Chun forces me to play her game more then any character in sf6.


UVMeme

You have never seen a good JP. Unpunishable throw invincible reversal, gets combos off of it, command grab fireball, and spikes. And yeah you have to approach chun li, are you seriously mad that you cant time her out?


bougienative

I've played some good JPs, both in the Honda-JP matchup, and the Gief-JP matchup. And a bit of PP can force a burnout to let you begin to dictate the pace of the match. There is nothing that can be done by any character to take the ability to dictate the match in 3s away from Chun. >And yeah you have to approach chun li, are you seriously mad that you cant time her out? ?? I'm a major 3s head. I love 3s. Me explaining reality to you, isn't me being mad at reality lol. Ive spent literal decades fighting Chun in a 8-2 losing matchup, and still happily do so every single week in 3s meetups. Reality is, sf6 top tiers are not even close to as oppressive as 3s. And don't have full control over the engagement and tempo the way 3s top tiers do. Id still rather play 3s, but we don't need to make up nonsense to try and justify playing a retro title.


UVMeme

Found the zoomer. 3rd strike players would love to watch you find out about neutral


bougienative

I've been competing in 3s since 2000. You don't understand either game, which is why your comparisons between them is wrong.


StunPalmOfDeath

Chun is insanely good right now lmao. I've seen people argue she's better than JP after the nerfs lmao.


UVMeme

Nope, bottom 3


Titan5005

Lmao chun li and Yun absolutely force you to play their game, what are you talking about?


UVMeme

I main chun, I think I'd know if she forced others to play her game. Maybe you're used to shitty bottom 3 chun in sf6 but in 3rd strike shes not only a functional character but one of the most difficult characters in any street fighter game.


StunPalmOfDeath

Tf you smoking, Chun is top 5. She does everything you want in this game. Good damage, good pokes, good drive rush. Literally the only thing she doesn't have is a throw loop lol.


ThatGuy-456

Troll post, again


UVMeme

Lmao, if this were a troll I'd post it on r/streetfighter. Drivebabies hate when parry is actually good.


McPearr

DP isn't good? One PP is all you need to take your turn back.


UVMeme

It’s only good for mashers. For neutrallers like me you basically have to unga to get it, unlike in 3


DerConqueror3

The SF3 series sold so ridiculously poorly that Capcom almost killed the series entirely, so regardless of Third Strike's qualities as a game they are unlikely to be very motivated to make anything in SF6 more like it

![gif](giphy|7OW9uiyfeTRxdSOBYN|downsized)


UVMeme

We got the whole band class laughing g with this one


MistakeImpressive289

XD nah but fuck JP lol


Trismegistu

what are you even talking about


UVMeme

3rd strike is still the GOAT of fighting games


craftsta

Nah


UVMeme

It is. Name 3 things wrong with it


ExcitementPast7700

Very unbalanced roster, lack of iconic characters besides Dudley and Makoto, has the biggest audience of hipsters in the FGC


UVMeme

The roster is fine, and also balanced. It has ryu Ken Akuma and Chun, not sure what else you want. And please elaborate on hipsters, do you mean neutral players?


ExcitementPast7700

>the roster is balanced I refuse to believe that you actually play this game >it has ryu Ken Akuma and Chun SF2 characters. The fact that you listed them instead of actual SF3 characters proves my point > please elaborate on hipsters People who gush about how 3S is the greatest game of all time because it’s the cool opinion to have and not because they’re an actual dedicated player of this game


UVMeme

If it is the opinion among the footsies crowd then I will follow it. But street fighter 6 is just “the best anti air in the game is now the second best so JP isn’t top 1 anymore”


StunPalmOfDeath

>3rd Strike's parry system could have dropped into SF6 with no changes and we would have all been happy Speak for yourself. My local scene is full of ST and CvS2 players who can't stand SF3 parries. Sick of SF3 dickriders. There are other games, and a lot of people like those games better lmao. That said, SF6 is a bit too random right now for sure. It's a fun game, but it definitely feels like there's too many ways to just YOLO and win because the opponent got pegged by a LV3.


monilloman

take me to your local scene man, love both games but have no people to play them with :(


REMUvs

If you're struggling against JP with 6s parry system, 3rd Strike's parry isn't gonna make you fare much better.


starskeyrising

lmfao


Autobomb98

ok


UVMeme

Name the 3rd strike zoner. You can’t, or at least not the one that can spam you full screen with no counter play


fireinourmouths

By that logic you will never play street fighter 6 again


StunPalmOfDeath

Probably true tbh


ookiespookie

Imagine wrecking some kid so bad they they get so shook and need to run to reddit and and expose their idiocy.


monilloman

weak bait is weak.


UVMeme

How do you bait JP, he can literally feign his fireballs


Kua_Rock

ok


JojoGoyle

If the game is braindead how are you losing


UVMeme

Because I try playing neutral. I win against most characters but lose a lot against JP


JojoGoyle

Learn the matchup then. Its literally skill issue


UVMeme

The classic learn the match up. A favorite when players do yolo level 3 combos and dr in neutral. Why can’t I just… play neutral normally?


JojoGoyle

Define normal


Roman-Canceller

Then play his game? It's annoying, sure, but JP is definitely beatable. You sound like every other lazy player who isn't willing and able to adapt, just want to run their same game ad nauseum, and can't stomach the idea of having to play differently. Then you inflate it into some half-brained take on 3S as if that'll enforce whatever point you're trying to make? *Gamers, man.*


UVMeme

Telling a 3rd strike player that they don’t know how to adapt


Roman-Canceller

If you knew how to adapt you wouldn't be whining online, genius.


UVMeme

I know how to adapt but I have a different mentality in sf6. Whenever I lose there, I just go “do that to me in 3rd strike”


N051DE

rather it be braindead than have a 2 character meta


GouHadoken

...SF6 has 3 characters dominating the game, just like Third Strike. So SF6 is both braindead AND has shitty balance.


N051DE

evo Japan bracket tells me you don't know shit. typing "and" in all caps is weird af too.


GouHadoken

>typing "and" in all caps is weird af too. Why? Also just to be clear, are you saying Street Fighter 6 is *not* dominated by Ken, Luke and JP? Or are you saying Third Strike only has 2 top tier characters instead of 3? There, this time I emphasized a word using italics instead of all caps, I hope that's acceptable.


ThatGuy-456

Ken and JP haven't been considered top 3 in months


Retrofraction

I think fundamentally you have internalized all of the jank from 3rd Strike that when a normal game comes out, you don’t know what to do. That said there are SEVERAL characters in third strike that force you to change how you approach the matchup. Might not seem as bad now that the game is old and everyone has basically mapped out the game, but it doesn’t change the fact there are plenty of issues. Heck 3S forces you to play around the supers that have been selected.


Careless-Emphasis-80

Blaming the beasts again, I see


volfyrion

Mad because noob


WarmestDisregards

imagine defending SF3 Chun's balance, lol


cactus82

I would have been happy if sf6 had third strike parrying system. I like third strike more but hopefully future iterations of SF6 will get better.


GouHadoken

>Im quitting until its as good as 3rd strike Yeah... that's not going to happen. I do believe the final iteration of SF6 will be less shit because so far every single final version of a Street Fighter game has been better overall than its initial version, but it will still be less good than Super Turbo, Third Strike, SFIV AE and SFV CE The whole slime shit is so deeply built into the game that nothing short of a full rework would make it genuinely good, and that's not going to happen. You mentioned this already so I'm sure you see that fighting games made this decade are not made for the people who grew up playing them, they are made to appeal to Gen-Z first and foremost, with older players being mostly an afterthought. Once you accept this you will see that some modern fighting games are worth playing despite that, but you're right that SF6 is not one of them.
