akuma is the trongest in 3rd strike

​@@ektran4205no lol

The Uber nerf. He was too dang good in 2nd impact 😭

@@Kwisatz-Chaderach smh meanwhile Akuma and Chun Li have been top tier in almost every game

SF has always been dogshit at character appeal. Why is Manon so fugly? Who asked for Marisa? Who even likes Luke? Oh look its fucking Akuma again. How boring

Agreed

@@NoGloveNoLove32problem?

sadly they kinda did in sf3, he's intro can have him accidentally drop his ball, it's even more tragic when you realize he could've been in sf5 but they replaced his ass with luke, removed his own flare n shit from him & it basically being before/during 3 implies he basically "had" em first, i wouldn't mind luke being the face of sf6, but htf is gulie's student a shoto? he should've been like gulie to be honest (his sand blast should've been a charge & "his" tackle could've been and anti-air & to be even more honest, half of sf6 is just the replacement of sf3, but i still have hope for the 3rd strike cast, they just need there own glow up & new moves!

his dragon punch is so goofy

Lmaoooooo😂

@@simonb.8868dude, he alley oops you into a slam dunk, how is that goofy???

@@Lillenmedmillen a dragon punch with 2 punches isn't goofy, OK. That's fighting not basketball

Hahaha

So true

So original

@@Cleric_al

Kek

Stolen valor

🎉

It's a tool he has, but it isn't what makes him good. You almost never see high level players use it. I seen kara-demon probably 30x more often.

It’s super slow though

It was so weird the first time I saw a 3S guide and chun, top2 in the game btw, had "Her specials range from bad to just ok, only EX SBK has use" lmao

Lol

Not all of them About half

@@costilla1212 it's so fun to see happen, the other day it stopped and saved me from Akuma's SA1 😂

The Ballin Shoto.

@@leithaziz2716 ball is life

For real. He's been slept on for too long and I've made it my mission to spread the good word of his high tier status

As a Necro Main, ill break your shins.

HAMMER MOUNTAIN!

Q is definitely a lot higher

ong, Q is actually kinda busted. He's just slept on kinda

@@omegadragon9524 he didn't even mention the taunt

6:01 ?

@@omegadragon9524busted with his 2 cancellable normals (both mids) and no-mix-mix?

I'd never thought of it that way, that's a good analogy!

And she has good instant air mixups too, they can even crossup.

He's gonna get Laura's moves

@@christinhell edit: it's so over, i'm offically a loser! 😭 (this gon be long, forgive me) or just like akuma & ed, get improved versions of his moves, lukes tackle is a tackle/over head, sean's isn't, it's basically a command like grab, his ryubi (i think) is the overhead, just give his hadoken motions like akuma's hadouken, but a chargable tackle, his kicking hadoken motions should be the over head move, which can now (idk) kick back projectiles if not close enough to land but close enough for the opponent to like projectile (like urien's aegis) his tatsu can be kinda the same but it's overdrive is like ken's & if done again can be put into a grab like luke's (if he stole sean's moves why not let sean snatch a couple right?), but give him a tatsu punch input which gives him something like ryu's move (actually laura's) but more projectile like (forgot the name of it sorry & i mostly mean lauras) but depending on the button (lp, mp, hp) it changes the speed of it & strength of it, fr fr i like his 3rd strike & old dp animations so make his non over drive dps like lukes but the slam dunk doesn't need overdrive, but for overdrive give him the 2 fisted dp, which does hella damage but to balance it / nerf it he loses more drive gauge than luke does for his overdrive dp (to keep in the theme of him still being kinda inexperienced), make his supers better too, like hado burst can behave/act like akumas but with a bit extra & charge able like ryu's sf6 sa2 (or denjin hadoken in sf3), he can launch from the ground regular (ryu / normal hadouken style), or in the air (like akumas) but if another input is put in, he can also slam dunk it on making the other player's character bounce & can be tatsu into anti-air or level 2'd, another feature (ik this all kinda hard to read apologizes) give his hado burst an toss up (i mean let him shoot it from the ground while aiming it up in the air) to stop someone from jumping over it or to prevent (let's say juri or cammy mains from doing their air combo moves) his level 2 should honestly be hyper tornado, ik it was his sa3 in 3rd strike but, it'd be fitting for ken's student yeah?, depending on the drive gauge level of the opponent it can drain health (basically if full drive gauge, it drains drive gauge only or or if none, eats the crap out of health) and if you're fighting jamie or manon (it can remove their buffs completely making them work for it again.) and his lvl3/ca3 could/can be shoryucannon, it looks like ken's but without fire (maybe electricity (to fit laura/blanka & make it yellow) or air/tornadoy? (kinda like rashids lvl3 but shoryukenish?) mostly kinda leaning towards electricity but both are good, but basically ken's (ca with the slam dunk/"sit down & shut up".) but no fire either what i said above, for ca3 or just ca, it's like ken's again (but the first 2 are normal, leading the 3rd one to be electrical, but when he launches them up he leaps into the air above the opponent, then spins raoidly towards them like blanka, grab them & smack around the walls/screen like a pinball machine, and it leads to sean & the foe rolling together on the into sean having the foe put into a head lock. (basically combines ken's sf6 sa/ca3 animation, with ryu electricity aesthetic, with laura homage, or if that sounds too wacky or too bittersweet (basically apologizing if i'm making it sound like sean would replace laura when both can 100% be in game.) instead he still leaps into the air & holds his hands up in the air making a big hado ball (basically goku's spirit bomb) & slams it on the foe like goku would with him landing like ken paying a kinda mixed homage to oro & ken (basically took inspiration from oro, but i knew it kinda sounds like a spirit bomb, cause i was basically writing & thinking as i went on & wanted to answer a hypothetical question of "okay cool, how or why can sean be good now & what will his lore be in sf6", since i'm on the topic now, i'll shorten it cause this mf too long anyway, gullies arcade story but it means much more lore to ken & his family, explains wth he was doing after his 3rd strike ending, being trained by oro & maybe gouken, then sent to find his og master after learning of everything, he fights other sf6 or future sf6 characters yadda yadda, when he reaches ken, they have a talk, ken pushing sean away, sean getting pissed exclaiming he's not the same kid, but ken kinda mockingly reminds him he lost to a nobody in his first ever tournament, which leads to a battle, sean wins, ken being shaken up but impressed has a calming almost fatherly chat with sean, which has ken kinda admitting he failed sean as a mentor & feels bad for trying to repeatedly push him away, sean comforts his mentor & make amends, ken asks sean if he could idk train mel? it'd be a cool way to fight against mel in wt & find sean either near the masters building or outlaw's court, with mel fighting like og 3rd strike sean but his dp is a blue flaming versions of his dads... idk, sorry for wtf this is, i'm ready to be clowned on! )

​@@Mr._Anonymous342 I think you like Sean. I think.

​@@Mr._Anonymous342 Sean meat rider (I'm a Sean meat rider too)

@@Kara-de5cz no no i swear i like other sf3 characters too, bring back necro & my french edgelord!

They did intentionally gut him in third strike tbf He was top tier in second impact

See above lol he was actually really good in 2I

i mean yeah, sean in 3s is an intentionally bad shoto and luke in sf5 and 6 is an intentionally good shoto, not that surprising

Sean was never a damn joke and honestly it's kind of fucked up that they stole a lot of his moves for Luke.

Meanwhile Yun and Yang litteraly got replaced by their fanboy ☠️

Yeah being the only character with (permanent) V-ism combos will let you do that

they even gave it to luke. sf6 is just "3rd strike 2.0"

3S Ryu is awesome but I still have a fondness for 4 Ryu. Both are comeback machines.

Found it odd that JM didn't mention the Donkey Kick, giving Ryu the ability to keep being a zoning character much more reliably.

Best part the sound track is in sf6

A cast without Honda is a cast not for me

I dislike the SF goofy characters immensely except Dan and Rolento, but I dislike the SF3 ones more than 4s (Rufus, Hugo, El Fuerte, Hakan) and 5s (Abigail, Fat Birdie, FANG, to a lesser extent G). In this, Necro, Hugo, 12, Oro, and to a lesser extent Q are just no thanks. And Remy looks like a KOF character - waltzed into the wrong game.

#REAL!

wait what??

@@ryler7 yes. An invisible timer determines if the move will be registered or not. You can do a fast 4 frame spd and if the timer ran out during that window, tough luck. No spd. Its actually a pretty huge deal. Check out demonstrations on youtube.

@@SuperLemonfish that's insane lol. I'll never look at hugo the same

@@ryler7 I dropped him because of this. Whiffed spd can swing matches (and also because hes not good, and because geneijin is giga degenerate and unfun to fight)

@@SuperLemonfish dash gigas is still fun to do tho (even if I only get it once every hundred attempts)

I think people give a lot more respect to Ryu and Dudley as of late. Yomoda and Kuni both narrowly missed Top 6 winners at EVO JP and on the NA side Exodus won jazzy circuit and Bubbles won combo breaker.

Yang meta is gonna go crazy tbh

Agreed, SA1 is better against him

Elena has janky hitboxes. You have to study her moves in the lab to understand what actually punishes. Then again 3rd Strike is all over the place with the balance.

Holy Based! However I don’t mind Luke & Jamie, no reason why we can’t have both rivalries

Alex's big issue is that he doesn't have anything substantial about his kit. All of it is subpar or has problems/is inconsistent. He also doesn't make good use of meter in general. He has one really good EX move, but all of his Supers are bad, hard to link and are reactable.

@@leithaziz2716 he has simple dice roll gameplay, if you guess right on offence his high stun damage can kill you so fast though! No safe pressure iron clad strategy gameplay model, he’s for Spartan players lol. I love it. His long range normals are good for zoning though.

Alex is hulk hogan which means he’s on top brother

It's hard to make powerbombing not feel good. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!"

@@leithaziz2716long death

​@@leithaziz2716 or in his Michael Jackson voice in New generation

Definitely

Do Alpha 3 Max :D

Remy also has diehard specialists who perform well at tournaments. Check out footage of Pierrot

Nah, they're very different characters but they're about even on the tier list.

They're both in the same tier, the tier of "bad but has some great players in tournaments"

3S is very bad balance wise. That said the parry system can throw everything in the mix. Ofcourse a player who picks a top tier & is ''on the zone'' with parries washes the competition.

F for France

BEATS IN MY HEAD

This is the Fightcade training mode LUA

this is the grouflon training lua, much better than the figthtcade default

@@unibrawn wow ignore me I guess I’m spreading snake oil

Just gotta spam down mp for it

he can be annoying bc her anti air is complicated, but no she still destroys him

That next generation shoto was from 1997

Also the last Elena was 4 and, like most characters in that ugly looking game, was hideously ugly. In SF6 there's no reason she can't look awesome. Bring back sick looking Elena.

Yes the meta changed. Denjin setups have changed the way the character is played.

limited antiairs and low health, low damage, no real "checkmate" situations like other top tiers can enforce. He has to win neutral many times to take a round, Chun or Yun have to win it twice. On most lists he's generally around 6th best with Dudley

@@unibrawn Thank you I appreciate it
