A short SF3: 3rd Strike Review

[Wizard]

I read that on mmcafe about the option to change the menus in the korean version. It's not worth the import if you've already gotten the Japanese version.

 

Prican, what you mean is the antialising option. Can't tell the difference that much if you using standard RGB output.

 

MINE SHIPS TOMORROW! YOU BASTARDS

 

Edit; corrected something very mistakable and obvious.

2. the ps2 version has a filter option that smooths out the gfx (turn it off and it looks just like dc's version)

I take it that this is simillar to Guilty Gear X2's Anti Aliasing.

I assume you guys are talking about the imported ones from Japan... From what I read on SRK it seems the japanese release is 3S and some sort of game guide with the artworks and frame data. The US release comes in a bundle with SF:AC and 3S, but not the Japanese release since their AC came out months before (last dec. I think).

 

Yeah, so I'll probably wait till next month for the bundle pack cuz I don't just want 3S alone.

 

BTW, I don't think anyone's mentioned yet but isn't the game supposed to have both the original arcade version, as well as the fixed version (DC version), and you can switch between the two? So, it's not just another copy of the DC version. It's better because you can switch between the original arcade release version and the fixed. But of course, most casual players don't give a sh*t....

The normal one sells for 21,000 YEN and the special edition pack(which comes with what you mentioned, a book, a puzzle, a dvd and the guide, but not AC) which cost me 95 bucks USD is 38,000 YEN.

[Captain FuKu]

What's on the DVD?

 

As usual, outside of Japan, everyone's left with the short end of the stick. Damn... I want that guide! If only for the pictures and the frame data. (Well, I can probably get the frame data off SRK or something, but still...)

The DVD teaches you the basics of Third Strike;

Parrying, Red Parrying and it's many variations. Comboing with all 3 Super Arts. Countering with certain characters. How to use each character effectively.

Yikes, I do miss out a lot. And I don't see the option to choose the Arcade Original or the DC version

yeah, its about the same as that i'd say

 

k'dash, its in the screen options where it has filter option. i'm not using rgb (component for usa), just s-video connection which is second to rgb for dc, xbox, ps2, and my apex

 

well to you it may not be worth it but for me and others that can't understand a word of japanese writen in the comments/endings its worth it (sf3 was a dvd but a group ripped out the dummy files to fit perfectly on a cd which i had so it didn't matter to me)

[BoomBa_GoosE]

isnt there suppose to be a third strike release that comes with the hyper sf anniversery game too?

 

first they release Hyper Street FIghter Anniversery

second they release Third strike

then they say theyre gonna release both of em in the same pack.

 

is this correct?

In the U.S. it's a double pack. But you don't get the nifty stuff that comes with the Limited Edition Japanese version. The U.S. gets SFII:AC and supposedly a an anime dvd for SF2 with 3S.

 

Prican25: I can't read japanese worth a sheit. I only understand it a bit by ear. But does that stop me! Only when it's a heavily texted RPG

i know the feeling, i grabbed kingdom heart final mix without knowing that it didn't have any english text (but the voices were english)

 

as far as i know, usa is just getting sf aniversary (hyper sf2 + sf3:ts) and the anime isn't included (thats what i read from gamespot)

 

of course xbox gets online version while ps2 doesn't (i read that same will happen for fighting jam)

 

i would just mention that the korean sf aniversary is 3gb so i don't see how they'll squeze in the anime.

The thing has already been bootlegged, well the double pack anyways, I started downloading it thinking it was the hyperfighting one but then I thought about it and realized it's the double pack.

Don't tell me you got Final Fantasy X-2 Last Mission as well... <_>

 

But hey, at least it had english voices, otherwise you would have been really screwed.

[Wizard]

Dude, last mission came with the option to have english subs.

Oh yeah, you're right. I just checked. <_>
