I think Hyper Fighting matches are so fun because of that, because once you're trapped in the corner, it's pretty much over if your opponent know what he/she is doing.
Like a chess match, all about positioning, even if you’re not using a projectile-based character. I find zoning the coolest aspect of a fighting game. Most people think "spamming hadoukens" is boring. Yeah, I think it’s down to personal preference. Not only did they spend a lot of time making it animate beautifully, but the art style itself is pretty great. I would say it's easily the best SF game in that department. Originally posted by Not YSB:I wholeheartedly disagree about the animations. Parries are probably the most exciting thing to happen to an SF game. It's funny to see someone say it's boring though. The thing that matters most is obviously going to be the gameplay.
It was a bit weird hearing rap in a fighting game at first, but imo it fits really well and makes the character select its own experience. But the 3S character select theme is still god tier and I'm glad they went with it. I think the backgrounds from 2i are much more interesting, and the same for a lot of the music. I heard that they had to reduce the game size to add in the the 3S characters, and they did that by reducing the detail in the backgrounds and the size of the audio tracks. Speaking specifically about 3rd Strike, the music and backgrounds are okay. I wholeheartedly disagree about the animations. And Guile, because that emo Guile clone I don't like him much lol, feels a little out of place. Overall I just wished Third Strike had New Generation's sound effects and some of the New Generation/2nd Impact tunes and stages.
Well, everybody has high regards about it, who am I to say the opposite. Gameplay wise I find really difficult and kinda boring, but it's respectable and you can see it's solid. "fake retro" trend of creating High resolution block graphics to mimic good-looking, low resolution pixel art) It's fantastic even to this day, I wished they would take time to make 2D games like that nowadays (not this. The only "unanimous praise" I have is the animation. yep, it could be a small dock, part of the Santos port right there) but once you take a look on the floor, and the setting behind it. The US background (subway) I think is awesome.įun fact: I live near Santos (Brazil stage) and it's amazing on how they captured well that part of the city (At least from decades ago, Of course the harbours are a lot bigger than that. I like 2nd Impact/New Generation music more, and the sound effects on New Generation are the best of the three imho. I play only when there's no one playing the other games.īut the music is okay, some tracks are really good like the Ryu one.
