Thank you to @JiBbo , @Bafael , & @KyokujiFGC for helping with the idea and writing process behind the topics. These dudes are 3S scientists, and this wouldn't have been possible without them!
Also shout outs to Ch0sen, Jwin. D3NJ1N, Gibkram, and SaigaDOS for being video consultants and talking about games with me.
Credit goes to thelegendofhik1 for finding the Yun Recovery Cancel glitch.
Credit goes to Matt_au for the Akuma SGGK setups I totally ripped.
Credit foes to TheSaiyan for the Ryu post stun combo I also totally ripped.

AW YEAH I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
-
My brain immediately goes “eey” every time I see a Yun juggle.
-
Press F for Sean. The most broken character in 3rd strike. Throw a basketball in his honor...
-
I remember at Combo Breaker I was sitting in front of a dad and his son and the dad had to explain why Genei Jin lasts Forever Actually when the kid asked why the meter was going down so fast.
-
For context, Third Strike is an official Evo game in 2024. And its tournament has more players than the latest Mortal Kombat and KOF games
-
10:50 “Chun’s Super II isn’t easy to parry” The Ken mains fighting Justin Wong on Fightcade in question:
-
What a great video!! Buff Chun Li thanks =p
-
watching this is funny how manythings I think of as "yeah that's just normal" and it's a weird mechanic.
-
Love how Makoto's most devastating move is where she command grabs an opponent. Which makes it more funny/badass when she's like one of the youngest playable characters in the SF series deadlifting giants like Hugo/Q up by their necks and presumably crushes their windpipes.
-
I Makoto forward-dashed to get here because I know this is going to be a modern classic.
-
Yun:hi" Everyone:"hello? Human resources?"
-
Ah dude it came out really nicely
-
It is funny how Yun's moveset was "inspired" by Lee from the Fighter's History series. Speaking of Fighter's History. Makoto is like a fusion between Ryoko Kano and Makoto Mizoguchi "CHESTO! CHESTO! CHESTO!!" Meanwhile, Dudley throws a rose as a projectile which might be a reference by Jean Pierre. I think Capcom got revenge on Data East for losing to them in court years ago.
-
I love the level and quality in the editing for these “X is broken” videos that everyone just seems to understand
-
What's funny is this video could be like three times longer. A bunch of characters have matchup specific bugged throws, twelve is useless, sean is useless on purpose, and while it was kind of alluded to in the video, some characters' supers are so good that it makes other supers literally obsolete and strictly detrimental to pick. Poor Remy with his blue nocturne. It's more of a personal gripe, but I hate Elena's stage, it hurts my fucking eyes!
-
I'm a simple man, i see a third strike video, i click.
-
When I saw Yang pull out Seiei Enbu, I immediately went, “Aw fuck it’s Zero’s Sougenmu from MvC3”. I don’t play either of these games, but the two moves do pretty much the same thing. Both of them even give their users unblockables. Guess Capcom really loves shadow clone shenanigans.
-
Never forget by the way, we could've gotten a final balance patch for this game with the online edition but the fans told them not to, so here sean is.
-
Honey wake up Guilewinquote did a sequel to his super turbo video
-
I just love how when discussing how good Chun Li is, she was beating up Ken in reference to moment 37, using the same colors to talk about how hard to parry her super is
