I didn't even realize that SF3 was even popular at all.
Sure, I know SF2 was, and now SF4, but I've never even seen SF3 in action.
lol, I was there in person at EVO when Daigo said he hated 3S
OP is a douchebag, but I have to chime in that SF3 3rd strike is the most deep and best capcom fighting game ever.
I'm a huge MVC2 fan, but mvc2 is way more about taking opportunities and punishing your enemy with as many huge chains as possible. It's so broken its fun. It is not as deep as 3rd strike with mind games though, it's more so about execution.
3rd strike is insanely deep with parry and the mind games. SF4 doesn't offer the same level of depth
