It's not the flawless masterpiece that contrarians make it out to be but it's definitely worth playing at least once, the art direction and music are top notch and it's weird in an interesting way.

> Genesis used it in 16-bit mode
The 68k does not have a mode.
It has instructions which can operate on 8 16 or 32 bits.
32bit instructions take more clock cycles and as such are not just used for no reason, but genesis games still make use of 32bit math when appropriate, such as for 16.16 fixed point math.

>we got shitty and unnecessary baby pokemon like Magby, Igglybuff, Cleffa, etc instead ofnt of these great designs
What the fuck were they thinking? You don't even use any of those shitty baby pokemons in any game, not just gen 2 but neither gen 3 or anything beyond it.

>igglybuff
>literally jugglypuffs are handed to you at level 4 at the geodude route when you start the game in gen 2
>jigglypuffs appear midgame so a igglypuff at the early game would have been acceptable but no, better make it useless dex filler.

>Magby
>if you somehow get it with the daycare egg it's a waste because 30 minutes later you get Magmars for free in the burned tower unlike Elekid and Smoochum that at least appear later in game and you could justify them

>Cleffa and Pichu are completely inaccessible in gen 2 and gen 3 until you catch their evolved forms, defeating any purpose to ever use them.

It's like they didn't want us to use the shitty baby Pokémon at all, they are not just unobtainable or pointless but they are hindered by the retarded friendship mechanic too which makes just catching their evolved forms more reasonable.

Many of the highest level SF2 heads, as well as tournament organizers, would agree with you.

The changes SF2 went thru, with the highest peaks being “Hyper Fighting” and then the perfect final form “Super Turbo”, were perhaps the most formative in fighting game history.

All that said,

SF3: 3RD STRIKE is still in 2025, the greatest game in the entire street fighter franchise. And it’s not close.

Competitively, artistically/aesthetically, spiritually, psychologically, hypothetically, realistically, and even casually…. It’s just a timeless gem in all of video game history.

>>12270817
The newest port of ALPHA 3 UPPER on the “Capcom Fighting Collection 2” , features everything that Alpha 3 Upper has to offer, as well as all the extras & extra character roster additions, from ALL the home ports, yes even the GBA & PSP rosters.

It’s a great game. Many say Alpha 3 Upper (especially in this new all-encompassing form) is the 2nd best Street Fighter game in the entire franchise, ahead of X-Men vs Street Fighter (do not play PS1 port), 2nd Impact, Alpha 3, Alpha 2 Gold, Super Turbo, Hyper Fighting, or any of 4/5/6.

I agree, it is.
If we counted Marvel vs Capcom 2 as a Street Fighter title, then it could surpass Alpha 3 Upper, to compete with 3rd Strike, same goes for Capcom vs SNK 2, but for strictly titles with the phrase “Street Fighter” in the title…it’s a solid #2.

So the real lesson OP taught us all, without knowing it, is both of these games are essential timeless classics, and if you aren’t playing both at least once in awhile, you can’t possibly truly love fighting games.

1. Street Fighter 3 : 3rd Strike
2. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper
3. X-Men vs Street Fighter
4. Street Fighter 3 : 2nd Impact
5. Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter

OP I figured this out when I was 6 years old by reading the clue about "Deborah Cliff" and then finding out where that was by reading the in-game signs telling you which direction the signs point to, then just trying the same thing that worked with the blue crystal to reveal the way to the mansion under the lake. It took me hours of play to finally then see the whirlwind appear and carry me away but I was able to finish the game not too long after that since it's not a long game at all.

>it's shitty game design if you need anything external to complete it
>to complete it
This is the real failure to understand the mentality of the era.
Valid criticism of the specific secret or not, people evaluated games based on how fun they were to spend time playing, not a sequential consumption of content to complete before moving to the next game in the backlog. Normalfags didn't finish games and didn't care that they didn't finish games. In the arcades, getting to stage 2 on a single credit was an accomplishment for the average person. These moderately cryptic puzzles come like halfway through the game.

I recently began playing the Crash Bandicoot games. I cleared the first one and got 100% in it, it was kind of amateurish but I had a good time with it.
Crash 2, though, I'm enjoying less. I finished the main story and while it's neat that Crash has more moves he can do, it has kind of huge number of gimmick levels (and the last boss was really easy). And now I'm working on 100%, but it's kind of less fun in that regard, too. There's so much "uhh actually to 100% this level, you have to warp to it from another level, or you have to beat the hard path and then go backwards through the other path and then go back forwards," and on and on. And then on top of that, some crates are hidden offscreen and some warps are in places you'd NEVER check with no indication of them. Still pretty fun though.

I 100% Crash Warped thrice and I still have no idea how I was supposed to find Eggipus Rex.
>>
>>12269354
Even if you removed those levels from Warped, I doubt the game would improve that much considering how it takes a nose-dive in level design and difficulty. Not to mention how broken you are by the time you reach the fourth and fifth (which should be the hardest by the way)

Ok, this is just a bot thread intentionally conflating the games to induce schizophrenia in the goyim or some gay shit.

But yeah, 3 is completely unplayable gimmick trash with (((feminism))) interspersed not only are you playing as a Strong Woman Pilot, but Crash falls on his face whenever you play as her. 2 is the most complete package, and 1 is the claim to fame for tryhards.

Is Harvester worth playing?
