where can i start with SF3 3rd Strike online, SF3 was an old SF series in the 90s ,one that fell under the radar because the loss of hype and cuz of SO MUCH CHANGE in the game that fans of fighters and SF games where turned off. capcom finally did right bringing it back. if ur a fan of SF3, you will be happy that it comes back with pleny of fresh gameplay mechanics, pleny of trials for each char. dynamic challenges, unlockables, even good customizable gameplay tweaks, even your many expected online features for this generation, of course the best part being the actual gameplay, better than any other SF, bringing amazingly smooth animation, great game balance, and interesting and challenging new mechanics unlike SF2, and before the dumbing down of SF unlike SF4, its way hardcore, im serious, this game is at a raw and realistic state, you execution has to be way on point to be halfway effective, the rest is the incredible mind games. its no longer about linking and doing huge combos.there is no reaction time, its all about thinking ahead of your opponent and making risky plays, IT'S DIFFICULT but extremely rewarding. only gripes is the online, while solid, fights can be kinda jumpy with that GGPO, but still works well, unless ur connection is bad, if it is you will find online unplayable. other than that 3rd Strike alone is the best in all aspects, the music tracks are shear masterpieces, the characters have not only the most variety but the most swag, just the coolest looking and who are the most well rounded n dynamic, once you fall in love with a 3rd Strike char. he/ she will be ur favorite. and the overall just the vibe of the game is bangin' once play 3rd Strike legitimately, you wont stop, the game really test you farther than no other. its the best
