Mk, tekken and the alpha games are way, way better.
>>738689903Dont forget kof and marvel
Remove MK from that statement and I'm inclined to agree. 3rd Stike is very overrated but MK isn't better than dogshit
>>738690365Mks got the best single player content though beit
>>738689903I'll agree on Alpha 2+3. Tekken is an apples to oranges comparison, and I don't think any Mortal Kombat competes with Street Fighter's top tier.And Third Strike is top tier. The game is certainly having a moment, but it's been overlooked for so long that's more than fair. Alpha 2 and 3 are actually the only pure Street Fighter games I really like better than Third Strike. What other Street Fighter games compete? What other six button fighting games compete? There are a lot of 2D fighters I like, but few share the choice complexity of the Street Fighter series.
>>738691030Not saying much when the game itself is ass to play though
Dreamcast was the best console ever made But nobody is ready for that conversation
>>738689903Alpha maybe but definitely not MK or Tekken
>>738691078>blah blah blah blahbro shut the fuck up third strike is shit
>>738691549nta but it’s actually pretty good
>>738691549it's not a game for people who can't read
>>738689903Mk or tekken sure but not the alpha games lol.
the entire alpha series is garbage, they just took super turbo and "polished" it so hard they rubbed the fun right out of it
>>738693196>polishedBut its jank as hell, so the fun part is the roster and presentation and ironically the wacky broken shit.Super turbo was a much more thought out and cohesive game overall
>>738691030single player in fighting games never mattered and im done pretending it ever did
>>738695748Why does mk outsell sf and tekken
>>738695816because you can get it for stupidly cheap on sale
>>738691131>But nobody is ready for that conversationI've long known that even DURING gen 6. The industry has never recovered Nintendo tried with the Wii and Wii U but got shit on hard for it, but now they're finished too ever since Iwata passed.
3rd strike is the best fighting game of all time.
>>738698586No really, its weird that it frequently makes top 10 lists despite parry being a broken and homogenizing mechanic that favors the games most overpowered characters and invalidates fireball and antiairs, the game has the worst balance of any sf, the worst final roster, zoning isnt viable, etc etc.If someone wanted to say hyper fighting, st, a2, a3, ssf4ae, mk2, umk3, samsho2, kof 2002, soul calibur 2 or tekken 5 were the best fighting game of all time theyd have a much much better leg to stand on.I could go on really theres soooo many games better than 3. 3 really isnt very good at all.
>>738700096I like that people claim parry is this great equalizing mechanic because "everyone can do it", but in reality it just benefits the good characters.>Yun or Chun gets a good parry>you die>Twelve gets a good parry>he tickles your ballsEbin.
>>738700215Yup, roll cancel and custom combo work much better as equalizers.
>>738700660Those aren't even good equalizers either, and those 2 stayed in the pits of history whereas parry gets to stupidly live on.
>>738700096It's fun though. No one likes fireball anyway
>>738700215It's equalizing in the sense that if you are good enough/lucky enough you can parry your way through everything and win. Even if you play Twelve if you parry enough shit and punish every time you could win against any character. Which is kinda bullshit, I mean it's not different than saying if you are just good enough any low tier can beat a high tier in any other game. I suppose other low tiers do benefit a lot from parry directly, like Alex or Q or Hugo. It's a game that really rewards punishes and nothing is really safe.
>>738703167Well said
>>738689903I play Third Strike and I think it has my favorite feel. The pacing, the weight, the balance of the exchanges, the neutral, it's all just really perfect, but that's just a matter of taste. Unironically I think SFV, by the end of its life cycle, was a pretty damn good Street Fighter game. 6 would be good too if the Drive mechanic wasn't so overbearing.
>>738703632Chun li at her absolute hottest and lamest, a twisted combination
>>738703761Yeah I think the spritework and music in 3s is some of the best in the series. There isn't a better Chun. I play her and I can understand someone thinking she's lame. I main her precisely because of how straight forward her gameplay is, I appreciate her being able to have an effective tool for every situation, it's very satisfying. I won't lie though, she definitely is pretty overpowered. Talking about lame, though, I started out playing Makoto and I just got so bored of her. Every interaction is just karakusa -> mix -> repeat.
>>738689903*checks player numbers of any of those games or any other non-Smash fighting game more than 5 years old*wrong>>738693509>Super turbo was a much more thought out and cohesive game overallST is 75% the same game as the oldest versions of SF2 and is a broken turd that needs to be flushed from history.
>>738705247>broken turd that needs to be flushed from history.All the characters, even cammy, have wone tournaments, they all see competitive representation. The game also has a strong focus on neutral and spacing, and a variety of playstyles are viable. What about it is broken? Proxity block is a little weird and theres vega 5050 and old sagats a little strong, big whoop.
>>738689903I tire of seeing this stupid ass thread every fucking day, holy shit what is it with you people and your maxdood reddit slop taste jesus fucking christ if i never see another sf tekken mk thread again itll be too soon holy shit
