Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is arguably the best playing fighter of all time. Imo, it has never been surpassed. The controls were absolute perfection, top tier hand-drawn sprites, amazing soundtrack. Gill resurrecting after defeating him added that extra X factor you don't forget. It's the complete opposite of overrated, it's the gold standard fighting games should aspire to be.
darn it, capcom should quit being such tryhards spreading bad information about their mediocre product. SF3 TS is one of the most mediocre fighting games.
it has been surpassed even by its predecessors!
the sprites are awful art direction. everyone looks worse and that is worsened by its inconsistent character designs. Necro, Seven, Oro are some of the most horrible and stupidest character designs ever. Urien is one of the most laziest character designs, which is basically a modified Gill. Chun Li has absurd turkey legs and takes proportions to extremes.
also SF3 series has THE WORST music ever, tied with MVC2. and its rap and juvenile themes are trash tier nonsense.
plus that era has the worst rosters since SF1. in a lot of ways SF3 series is the anti SF compared to SF2, Alpha, and SF4 eras. even SF5 has better taste in roster. SF3 was lacking too many favorites and adds so many rejects.
anyways, Im surprised there are no roster leaks of KOFXV yet. KOFXIV's roster was leaked like a year before launch.
