Street Fighter III: New Generation is the amazing sequel of Street Fighter II, and the beginning that spawned the more famous titles of 2nd Impact and Third Strike. This one wasn't as well recieved as the others for the lack of SFII characters other than Ryu or Ken.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: FBA-rr-v007
  • Aims for the highest score
  • To display target combos, specials, and supers
  • Avoid Spamming or Corner Bullying

Comments

I chose to do a TAS of Dudley as I found the ones on YouTube didn't display proper combos such as the 5 hit combo or any of the other target combos. Juggling is cool for the first couple rounds but they seem to drag it on too long.
In this run I show how a real Dudley player would do it, and not do silly one trick pony shows.
I picked New Generation also because there is only 7 people to go through, so it doesn't drag on too like some of the Third Strike gruefood on here. Not to mention New Generation/2nd Impact ending for Dudley is the same, so why not pick the faster way to get it.

Workflow comments

For all the fighters on here I try to parry or trick the AI into letting me hit them to initiate a combo/special/super.
I mix everything up for the most part to avoid move being repeated too often. Sometimes I have a special ready, but I don't use it to avoid predictability of the run. I studied a bit of SDR's runs of SFII:HE to see how he does it. Mainly I saw that he gives the fighters a chance to hit and throws them to the other side.
Overall this run went fairly fast even though it wasn't intentional. I tried to keep some of the fighters alive as much as I could to get enough combos in.
I rerecord openings numerous times to get the best target combo. Not just to undo from getting hit or blocked.
There was originally a plan to do a 2P with Dudley vs Elena with the healing special to get a long combo fest in from both. However it seemed to drag on too slow and didn't look impressive.
Here is a move list I also took note of that shows all the possible target combos in the games: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_III/Characters/Dudley
To give me a basic idea of what to implement

Other comments

I find an audience will find this run interesting due to that all the combos are technically doable in real time, but at a extremely fast pace.
To replay this movie properly, Exit the emulator, Reopen, Pick Start Playback, Pick the game, Pick the proper movie. DO NOT repeat DO NOT play from beginning or it will desync.

Noxxa: Judging.
feos: HD encode.

Noxxa: Judging again.
Noxxa: I'll reject this. The viewer feedback is quite poor, and additionally, despite the TAS not being very long, it manages to be quite repetitive, repeating the same combo's many times over again. The run doesn't have much to offer other than repeated, quickly done target combo's and occasional perfect parrying. It doesn't show much of what the Street Fighter 3 series is capable of; for that purpose, a Third Strike run with the character Twelve would probably be the best way to go for a publishable TAS of the Street Fighter 3 series as a whole.
Additionally, an unassisted combo video displays that there is a lot more potential in New Generation Dudley that wasn't shown in the TAS, showing that it could've been quite better entertainment-wise. But at this point it isn't good enough or received well enough, and because of that, I'll reject this TAS.

Taunts and EX moves were introduced in Second Impact and red parries in 3rd Strike, so the rose kill against Gill was impossible. But this makes me wonder again why you didn't pick 3rd Strike. Besides, Second Impact only has 1 more opponent and 3rd Strike 4 more opponents including the optional fight against Q. Filling up the SA gauge to use X.C.O.P.Y. indeed takes time, but even then you can just wait for the next round to use it, so it would be about half Twelve and half everybody else. As for character swapping in the middle of a playthrough without losing a match, I think it's possible through VS play but it requires the first player to immediately rematch against the second player to avoid losing its progress. If I'm correct, each character swap would require 2 VS matches. A separate "VS exhibition" category would probably be better though. I watched the encode and I'm voting no for the following reasons: - Game is not on the hardest difficulty. - Only shows off Dudley's target combos. - Almost every round looked identical. - No super-human abilities showcased. - Missing moves present from 3rd Strike. Speaking of which, I noticed that the re-record count (1925) is pretty low compared to the average published TAS. I think an entertaining Street Fighter III TAS would require a lot more time investment than your current attempt unfortunately.
It was a rather bad game choice on my part. Just interested in showing a different play style of Dudley. However seeing the feedback everyone seems to lean forward more for a 3rd Strike run in the future with maybe similar tactics with juggling in it. I could very well see doing that soon.

Uncanceling, as boring as this movie may seem to some. I still believe it shows superhuman timing and impossible realtime combo linking. Especially the LK-MK-MP-HP Target combo takes immense timing and precision to do flawlessly and on the spot.

Voted Meh ... (is there a Weak Meh, or Strong Meh? This one is a Weak) =P It looks nice against Ryu, and the final battle is great, but ... it's just not appealing on most other fights... x.x "the end again? when is it the real end?" (I said it twice watching, both before Ryu) >_>''''

I found it entertaining, probably because it's short and so never got boring. Yes vote.

For those who do not know much about this game, Skillsmith created an excellent combo video of Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyyM1COAH_E. Dudley starts around 7:34 If I recall, can you skip through some of the VS screen? (The screen when your character faces the next character)

Link to video I just wanted to let everyone know that I made another attempt at this TAS. Not for publication but merely just to see what this rendition of Dudley might be capable of. Definately more rerecords were used this time. Absurd juggles galore.
