Everything in the game works perfectly from a technical perspective, you just need to be skilled and talented enough to be able to keep up with the computer. In the training modes, I can do a semi-decent job of parrying (which is done by pressing forward or down at just the right time when an opponent tries to hit you high or low, respectively), but put me in an actual fighting situation and my fingers have all the speed and agility of an aged tortoise with three legs going up a hill.Īnd I’m not blaming 3rd Strike for this either. The special move bar at the bottom of the screen in 3rd Strike almost taunts me as it fills up because it knows that when battle commences, I’m going to be so worked up and panicky that I’ll never be able to stick the combinations in that I need to pull off the moves. Don’t get me wrong, I could pull off all the special moves, I just needed the computer to put its feet up and patiently wait for me whilst I input the combinations first. Such an outcome did not happen with 3rd Strike, however.
For whatever reason, the messages can get down from my brain to my fingers quickly enough for me to stand a chance.
STREET FIGHTER III 3RD STRIKE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE SERIES
Virtua Fighter is probably the lone series of difficult fighting games that I can kind of hold my own in, even though I’m not exactly sure why. I love fighting games, make no mistake about that, and it was my love of Street Fighter II that coaxed me into an arcade for the very first time, but goodness me, did 3rd Strike just break me in a way few fighting games have done over the years. It’s at times when I play difficult fighting games like 3rd Strike that it really rams home just how rubbish I am at this particular genre sometimes. If you’re so good at this game that you can hammer the CPU on the toughest difficulty, then you deserve to crow and pound your chest all you want because this game is the chuffing DEVIL! Normally, I’d be annoyed by such behaviour (you’re good at a video game for frig’s sake, you’re not curing cancer here, have some perspective), but in this case I’m actually prepared to make an exception. Even on the easiest difficulty with Ken (the character most useless newcomers and weak-willed fighters like myself are encouraged to pick), I still found myself getting whupped as early as the second fight on some occasions.ģrd Strike is seen to attract a certain sort of self-satisfied elite fighting game player, and this brand of player revels in the fact that they can conquer such a tough game. There is great history with martial arts and MMA in Africa.When it comes to fighting games, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike- Fight for the Future (how about that for a mouthful, by the way?) is one of the toughest bastards that has ever bastarding bastarded! I may have used one or more words there that don’t even exist, but I have done so to stress just how much of a bastard this game is. We’re excited to bring big events to the continent and the potential of it all. we think the time is right to bring sports and entertainment spectacle to Congo and throughout the continent. We have a number of conversations going on, and we are excited about the market,” says Murray who confirmed that their immediate attention is drawn to the DRC. “We not only have expanded content to distribute, but we are very much looking forward to hosting events in Africa.
A reality that the PFL understands completely.
With the growth spurt of MMA in Africa, and with the UFC having three African champions in the form of Francis Ngannou, Israel Adesanya and Kamaru Usman, the world has has turned its attention to the potential that Africa has to offer not only in terms of volume of athletes (and the support and fans they bring) coming through, but also the incredible talent that has and still is being unlocked in the MotherLand.
