Can you please find a smaller image?

 

[SirroMinus1]

is this better?

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, thanks.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I can't wait for this!! Awesome classic with online is always a good thing. ^_^

 

[Pikaville]

I hadn't really seen much of this game at all.

But then one of the DR guys showed me some videos and told me about how the game works.

It seems really really good.

Especially the parry system.

Only 15 euro on XBL.

Hell yeah I'm getting this!

Use this Youtube channel for everything 3rdstrike (at least tournament matches)

 

[Lythium]

This is gonna be a day one purchase for me!

So excited. :3c

 

[Minato]

I'll be getting it for XBL and maybe PSN later if I end up finding at least a few friends to play on there.
I'm not nearly into 3rd Strike as I used to be though.

 

[Pikaville]

Sweet.

Minato we should totally play.

I can't play you in Marvel

Not that you would want to.

USA>Ireland would be lagtastic.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I wonder how good it will be finally playing it online, it definetly needs attention, I'm finally going to rep' it in style against the competition.

get it for PSN so i'm not the only one getting destroyed by my GGPO celeb IRL friend

Cool, that'll be fun.

Yeah, I'll get it on PSN as well. I just need to buy another PSN card once it's out.

 

[Pikaville]

Usually I pick my character in a game I have never played before on looks.

So far I like the look of 12 the most.

After Akuma of course.

But then Necro looks so cool too.

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

3rd Strike > SSF4

 

[Atlus8]

I'm so in!

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'll be picking it up for PSN.

 

[Gates]

I'll be getting this but I'll also be getting Deus Ex Human Resources on the same day and then moving into my apartment 4 days later, so I probably won't be playing at all for a while. If I do it'll just be to learn some basic combos.

Spoiler

c.MK xx SA2, b+HP xx fireball xx SA2, SA2 followups and resets, Kara throws, etc.

PSN: RMG8S

 

[disasterABDUL]

I have to get chun li's kara throw back into my muscles

Don't play 12. He's like playing Brawl Ganon. Hopeless.

 

[Lythium]

I like Twelve because he has an airdash. :3c

 

[disasterABDUL]

lol
twelve has hope
sort of
akuma seems like a much better pick though.
especially once you can master the jiro demon(sp?)

 

[Gates]

So apparently this can be preordered on PSN?
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/08/05/psnplay/
And since the (original) purpose of preordering is to ensure that you'll have a copy and this is a digital release and you won't have to worry about a store running out of tangible copies, I really don't see the point?

 

[Lythium]

If you pre-order it, it comes with Gill already unlocked.

[OmegaXXII]

Jill? Hmm.. sounds interesting, I need to pick up with Akuma again, I'm slacking a bit.

 

[Lythium]

No, Gill.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I still can't wait for the online, I wonder how good it will fair against UMvC3, man too many good games coming out this year.

....and that was a typo. :/

 

[Gates]

Yeah but Gill is traditionally banned, so what's the point?

 

[Minato]

I should practice SF3 again. It's been so long since I last played.
I used to like this game a lot but I just lost interest.

It'll be fun facing people with my Ibuki/Q/Ken again though.

Yeah but Gill is traditionally banned, so what's the point?

Probably just so they can make first week sales look good by giving casual/uninformed people incentive to preorder.

 

[Lythium]

I guess if you pre-order it, it's also 20% off for PS+? I dunno if that's true though.

 

[ETWIST51294]

I was pretty good at this game.

When I was 13.. 4 years ago..

I might take this game serious again.

 

[disasterABDUL]

the article sounds like its just making lazy people find a way to NOT beat the game with all the characters in order to get gill. meaning you can just get the game when it comes out and get gill the normal way
which in my opinion is more entertaining, since this probably means taht gill will be allowed online
which would cause controversy


I don't really see a reason to preorder a DLC

 

[Jam Stunna]

Are you serious? Unlocking characters by beating the game is the worst idea ever.

 

[Lythium]

Are you serious? Unlocking characters by beating the game is the worst idea ever.

Agreed.

My Gill will be forever locked.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Same. I never unlocked Seth in vSF4 because it was so dumb.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I wonder when I'll have to preorder by if I want to have Gill.

 

[Lythium]

Conceivably, before the game is released.

Check the store, the pre-order option might be up.

 

[disasterABDUL]

I think you have until the 13th to preorder.
don't quote me on that

 

[OmegaXXII]

I just did, but I guess I might pre-order it sometime before then. ★

 

[disasterABDUL]

how is this online preordering going to work?
do you put 5 bucks down on the dlc then pay the rest when it comes out?
