Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Online Edition
The second updated version of Street Fighter III which adds new characters (Makoto, Q, Remy, Twelve, and the return of Chun-Li), new music, storylines, more super arts for each character, a grading system, a manual throw system, and path selection. The most significant change is the introduction of the guard parry, which helps defend against multi-hit combos. The Dreamcast port additionally offers a training record option where a certain move or combo can be recorded and used against the player over and over to see how it can be parried. A "system direction" option is also included, allowing the customization of many aspects of the game (air-blocking, combo limits, etc.). The subsequent PlayStation 2 version would include all these features, as well as a choice between arcade and Dreamcast soundtracks. The game would later get an Online Edition port. Besides adding online multiplayer, the game also has HD-filtered graphics, YouTube replay sharing, new art, a new Trials mode, and challenges which earn the player Vault Points, which is needed to unlock bonus materials. -
