/vr/ - Retro Games

Yes except no Chun-Li who is the most aesthetic.

We're reaching never-before-seen levels of contrarianism

Best girl

Pretty standard opinion to think that the BGs and layout of 2I/NG were better than 3S. If you knew anything about these games you would understand why. Dumbfuck

>>9275284
Supposedly the tier list is even more lopsided than 3S with Ibuki being undisputed top tier above everyone else.
But then again the game had a very limited tournament life so who really knows?

>>9275284
Of course

Those alone push it ahead

>>9275284
No, the aesthetics and the art in general in 3S was way better, as is the music and the sound design especially. Everyone sounds like a retard with a bad mic in first two. And the Ikeno character art from Third Strike is some of my favorite SF art ever. Only thing at all the first two games have over 3S is a few stages.

>>9275284
Ugliest era of Street Fighter art.

>that static head
They cut some corners there

>>9275374
You're probably thinking of New Generation. In Second Imoact Ibuki is still strong, she's probably top three, but Akuma and Yun are definitely stronger and Yang and Sean aren't too far behind.

>>9275521
>>9275374
Akuma is S+ tier in 2I

>>9275521
How is Akuma considered tournament legal? He's a secret character that requires a code to even select him. Same situation as Akuma in ST and that Akuma is banned.

>>9275802
Because as strong as he is he doesn't break the game. In ST even Claw can't really fight Akuma, Akuma utterly breaks ST. Bans are usually avoided in any fighting game if possible as no one really likes the idea of someone's main being unusable.

>>9275513
Designed for smaller resolution.

>>9275898
Simply git gud if you want to beat Akuma in ST. There's plenty of pro players taking Akuma down.

>>9275284
My girl Ibuki wasn't nerfed to the ground, and she even had an infinite, so yeah it was better.
It also had better quality stages.

>>9276820
Nearly every character has an infinite or a stun ---> death combo in 2I and 3S. Even Remy

>>9275284
2I had far better stages than 3S.

>>9275284
What you've gotta realise is that 3rd strike is heavily more reliant on the nuances of a crt.

A lot of the art in 3rd strike used very heavy dithering barely seen at all in New Generation and infreqiuently in 2nd Impact. This of course can only really be seen on a lcd. It's not like ps1 dithering either, it's proper made for arcade dithering and it smoothes even over rgb scart.

Another thing is cgi. Rarely used in ng, more common in 2i (like on alex's stage) and pretty broadly used in 3rd strike. To be honest it looks like ass but again is something that suffers way more because of lcds. Looks fairly good on a crt screen.

Another thing is that they literally ran out of space because of the added characters. This led to the compressed colour banding stages (hence the need for dithering), the cutting of multiple special intros they planned to add, and scrapping the reintroduction of Rolento.

>>9275284
Why is Elena pointing her butt?

>>9275284
Great music, beautiful stages and the better Sean moveset but 3rd Strike is the better game overall, sucks we never got a version of 3rd Strike with the New Generation and 2nd Impact stages.

>>9275284
They're all good in their own way

>>9277220
So we can sniff her butt

>>9275284
I prefer 3rd strike but Holy smokes if Urien's theme in 2nd impact isnt catchy as fuck, then i dont know what is

I wish we could get 3rd strike with 2nd impact's presentation and widescreen

2nd Impact Sean, as busted as he is, is probably one of the most fun characters in a SF game period.
Whiffing st.HP for meter gain, dragon smash with the dunk, ex tackle's animation and comboing ex tornado into SA3 is satisfying as hell.
A shame he was completely neutered in 3S.

where is my street fighter 3 with all the stages/music and best versions of each character

>>9276817
Either way ST Akuma is meant to be a secret OP boss, not someone legitimately played as.

>>9276817
That's not how it works in tournaments.
If Akuma was legal in ST every tourney final would be Akuma vs Akuma after 90% of players picked him.

>>9277108
I really, really want a Street Fighter III: Anniversary Edition that adds all the content from all three games.

Third Strike doesn't have Makoto.

>>9278176
Are you stupid?

>>9278212
Yes, I typed Third Strike when I was thinking about W Impact.

>>9277108
>scrapping the reintroduction of Rolento
Thank god. That guy should never have been a SF character. He doesn't even fit into Final Fight and it was a relief he got cut from the SNES version.
