This topic is for the purpose of discussing #2741: Azite's Arcade Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future "Street Fighter 3" in 12:39.15

It was more entertaining than most other fighter TASes I've seen, but I still don't think it's entertaining enough for publication. Voting meh.

I can add some information for Game."Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future (USA, 990512)",and rom file is sfiii3.zip. I think the problem about desync is different input configure/setting,maybe P1coin or P1start.I met it before.Do you mind upload your FBA.roms.dat or tell us your input?Foe example

up-W
left-A
down-S
right-D
coin-N
start-M

Meh, don't see whats special about this to warrant publication.

I don't have time to watch the whole thing at the moment, so here's some questions about how it might stack up compared to other published fighting game runs. 1. Do you control both players at once and use this to create dramatic fights? 2. Do you use every character, so you can show off as many moves and combos as you can? If the answer to both questions is not "Yes," then there's probably not enough entertainment here to warrant publication. I'm not trying to pre-judge your movie, but that's what I've seen from the judgment of recent fighter submissions.

cool! first SF3/CPS3 TAS here .... Necro is funny (and strange too) I liked of your style in the TAS but I think you need show something more interesting and with more variety too here....you can improve this one with your creativity but, to show a run here just with one character is the hardest especially when is fighting games....

For future reference, use Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Killer Instinct, and the Mortal Kombat TASes when making a Fighting game TAS. While more entertaining than a recent boring, TAS, the entertainment for this isn't up to par. At times it is mostly the same combo juggling used in the corner with the same specials, as well as letting the enemy attack so you can block it. The AI however doesn't seem to be set that high, and a bit of improvement could be done to make it more entertaining, such as what was mentioned earlier. Using both players at the same time would be very interesting, especially when the fights end up close, and showcasing all playable characters also ups the entertainment value. The closest to a yes I can give this is a meh, barely beating out a no.

Syncs on V3.03 (fba-rr-v003c). Not gonna do an encode of this. A) The sound is set to 22,050 Hz (instead of 44.1 or 48 kHz) B) FBA-RR doesn't auto-split the file (even FAMTASIA does this) C) the newest emulator (fba-rr-v004a) has been out for quite some time now, I don't see why the run was made using an older emulator. After watching the movie, I noticed a LOT of blocked hits, misses, and things that just looked sloppy. It was also very repetitive. Sorry to say, I'm voting no on this.

This run isn't sufficiently varied to make for an interesting demonstration of a fighting game. I agree with the above comments that use of multiple players and multiple fighters is desirable in runs of games of this genre. I vote No.

Voted No. It looks pretty sloppy, much unlike the idea that you know everything the computer will do and how to keep the computer at bay. Missed hits, lots of blocking, and a very slow pace contribute to the lack of an entertaining factor that I feel is missing.

I see a lot of potential here. Some good combos there and I like how you use the guy in unconventional ways. Still, it gets a bit stale after a few matches. Vary the chars a bit and maybe throw in a few glitches here and there. Then you'll have a good publication material. I highly recommend you taking a few queues from Street Fighter vs X-Men.

It's an OK run but the Twelve run is more interesting (see YouTube) as he/it/she(?) can change into other characters. This run isn't bad, but it's not that special either. Find major bugs (doubt they exist) or add in 2 player fights to keep it interesting.

Similarly voting No because Twelve is in this game. I wanted to make mention that I liked the way you ended the last match, though, and this run has shown me a lot of rankings that I didn't know the game even had the capability to award.

I tried watching this, but didn't find it very entertaining at all. Voting no.

guess what it's the good and old TASVideos bias against fighting games. I don't know why you even bother adding Arcade games if 90% of the games seems "unsuitable for TASing". But if it's a RPG, no problemo. Voting yes. I liked the movie.

Doesn't seem like this has a place on TASVideos but looking at the comments on YouTube, they seem to like your fighting. I say, don't give up. Keep making movies. Keep trying to get better. Stay creative and have fun doing it, the whole way. Don't worry too much about TASVideos and its criticisms, after all, it's a tough crowd. As for this movie, I watched maybe 1 round and thought to myself "it felt Tool-Assisted but definitely nothing noteworthy." I don't know much about SF3 so there's no help there either. I won't vote because it won't matter (plus, it'd be unfair without witnessing the run in full).

Ha ha ha ha. Verrrry funny. Voted Meh. I found it a bit sloppy, but some parts were entertaining.

First off, Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crud. :) Secondly, this game is almost certainly suitable for TASing. It just needs the right kind of TAS. Fighting games being what they are, a run that goes for pure speed is just going to consist of the same set of optimal DPS combos executed over and over again; the TASer here clearly knows this since he varied his combos, which adds some variety. But there's only so much room for combo variety in a fighting game if you're going to be using the same character for the entire run -- after all, most fighting games feature 10-15 bouts and have characters with maybe, what, 30 moves tops? So no matter what you do, eventually your audience will become familiar with every move in the character's repertoire and you cease being able to surprise them. It's no surprise that the best-received fighting game TASes on this site are Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and X-Men vs. Street Fighter, which switched out characters regularly to keep the gameplay fresh.

Sadly, even if the 10 best TASers on the planet pooled all their skill together to make a Necro movie, it still wouldn't be entertaining. Twelve is your best bet although its a shame he cant use EXes or Supers while X-Copied.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been posting much of anything. Had to get some things out of the way. Just wanted to say thanks for all of the feedback. I had someone suggest to me to try to put a TAS on the site so, though a bit reluctant, I went ahead anyway. So I guess I'm just testing the waters here a bit. I have indeed thought about just doing an All-Character TAS with me of course controlling both characters. I've been playing this game for years and know most of the ins-and-outs. I can most definitely say I could produce better while demonstrating all available characters. To explain a bit to those who may be unfamiliar: Yes, unlike most recent Street Fighter games, I'm limited to only one Super Art. From the get-go I knew that was already an imposing limitation on this and after this run with Necro, which was my second TAS, that's when I got to thinking about exhibiting all characters in one TAS which I feel I'm more than capable of. I do intend to make it, of which maybe I'll make another submission on here hopefully entertaining those who didn't find this so. But again, thanks for all the comments.

12 + x-copy, that would probably make the best tas. Plus, 12 is a great character to watch when used by an expert.

If done with the same precision as your Necro movie here, I think this would be much more publishable. I'm not saying the Necro movie was bad, but there's only so much you can do with a single character. It was okay, and that's it. Meh vote.

As a 3rd Strike player, this run lack of veriety, isn't so much fun, you should use Urien. Because he is a LOT better for combos than Necro, and a lot of techniques like charge partitioning. Watch some RX (japanese player) matches and take a shot with Urien. I will vote Meh. You know about the game and I hope a new run soon! :)

om, nom, nom... 'twas dry
