3rd Strike Concepts – Anti Air

A brand new series of tutorial videos for Street Fighter III 3rd Strike? It seems to be happening more and more, as the release of 3rd Strike Online approaches. This latest series of videos is called “Third Strike Concepts”, and the mission statement behind the videos is as follows:

Short. To the Point. Practical. Knowledgeable.
—————————————————-
While we won’t be covering every character in our videos we will try our best to keep our tutorials useful for any player, regardless of what character they use.
—————————————————-
Why are we not showing you how to execute cool techniques and combos? Shoryuken and Youtube are filled with nothing but technique and combo videos, we wanted to cover things nobody really tries to put on video without sitting down and explaining it for 10-15 minutes.

Episode 1, by Metric and Lostintheflurry, covers Anti-Air.

    Good shit as always from Metric! I cannot wait for 3SO!

  • Cyphon

    Sick video.

  • Goatbot

    Looks like a series definitely worthy of watching for those who didnt play 3rd Strike before but want to check out OE or those who just want to just remind themselves of some fundamental play from before because its just been that long. Think I’ll keep an eye out for more of this.

  • Mideon

    Souls of Mischief ftw.

  • DJTeiiBear

    Yes I can’t wait to play a game were MASHING is not an option. =_=

    • Dander

      Like

    • DanDan

      THIS!

    • booda

      Mashing is always an option. In 3S, it’s just not a very effective option.

  • Atomic Moth

    Good job

  • hold dat

    gotta love it

    thats how you cover Anti-air in #S. well done gents!!!

  • gen

    gotta practice up!

  • Winston Smith

    Good shit Metric, as usual

  • SFA3-Beginner

    guessing, guessing everywhere.
    ah, pardon me I mean mindgames…
    the whole parry concept is ridiculous, by just pressing forward you have a 10frame window(insanly huge compared to for example slashbacks in guilty gear 3frames afaik) and on top of that no recovery/whiff or other kind of punishes for a misstimed parry attempt.
    anyway, good tutorial.

    • GuyWithNoHat

      Yeah you might just walk into their jump in but psh shits so easy come on…

      Not really dude.

    • Joe The Condor

      Damn, bitch. Go read a book.

    • CannonSpike

      “no recovery/whiff or other kind of punishes for a misstimed parry attempt.”

      Except getting punched in the face etc etc.
      Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

    • SonicHurricane

      You can’t parry forward and down at the same time.
      While you’re doing your ‘unpunishable 10 frame’ forward parry you might eat a low forward super.

      If you’re going to troll at least do your research on the game first.

    • alvare

      I agree with this guy, and SB in GG doesn’t gives you magical frame advantage, just a lot less blockstun. The reason I stopped playing 3S was this one, I hate people jumping around, I wanna punch them, in the dick (gonna pick 3SO anyway ofc, a good game is a good game).

    • _Snake_

      Parry window is 5 frames and you can definitely be punish for mistimed parries.

    • LuMaLo

      funny… if its so easy… where were u in the last sbo qualifiers? and those before that, and the others before that… and… and…. errr…. shut up?

  • ClashmanDX

    Sweet vid. Reminds me of an Adult Swim bump.

  • KimSunIL

    Quality stuff.

  • Russellah

    Music Choice was Godlike.

  • ProjectNeo2501

    It never occured to me how complex fighting game systems can get until you attempt to explain it. Thank god things just come naturally to us.

  • Sadistic Masochist

    93 till infinity baby, same for 99, ts fo life. XIII fo life. this a good year for fighters, after the crap that is MK9 and MVC3 where getting 2 awesome fighters at the end of the year.

  • MvC3orDoris

    nice video, GODLIKE music… i’m starting to get excited for OE.

  • shinblanka

    Nice vid to explain to the 09′er and up about the fundamentals of sf3 3rd strike.

  • SF4iA

    @13 – ” ” quoted for truth. wonder where the rest of the chars are in this video? hmmm

  • ahdonye

    Very awsome, I’ve only been playing this game since last summer, and not very much at that. I didn’t know how deep this game is. I hope it does well sales wise.

  • danomighty

    This is how we chill till 99 til inf…

  • defghui

    cant wait but…. played this a little bit last night at the launch party, felt like it played a little bit slower than the arcade? anyone else think so or am i just crazy?

  • metric

    Thx guys, and thx keits for putting this up! :D

  • Rayartz

    Damn, I’ve never played 3rd Strike and I’m 10 years behind–can’t wait to learn this shit!

  • junkimchi

    coming from sf4, third strike looks like a monster to learn…

  • marcusg

    Can’t wait for this game to come out. I just suck at sf4 its too flashy. The hit boxes is just weird and akward imo.

    • gen

      SF4 is akward dude!

  • FACENC

    Third Strike for life.
