| Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike is the latest revision of the SF3 series. The two previous games were SF3: New Generation and SF3: Second Impact. The main differences found in 3rd Strike include a new way of performing throws (done by pressing LP+LK), universal overheads (MP+MK), a "choose your opponent"-style path in Arcade mode, the return of the "Crush the Car" bonus round, a new soundtrack, stages and 5 new characters. In this game, the new characters are Chun Li, Q, Twelve, Remy and Makoto. | | Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is the last revision of the SF3 series, the two previous games being SF3: New Generation and SF3: Second Impact. The main differences found in 3rd Strike include: a new way of performing throws (done by pressing LP+LK), universal overheads (MP+MK), a "choose your opponent" approach to Arcade mode, the return of the "Crush the Car" bonus round, a new soundtrack, new stages and 5 new characters: [[Chun-Li (3S)|Chun-Li]], [[Q (3S)|Q]], [[Twelve (3S)|Twelve]], [[Remy (3S)|Remy]] and [[Makoto (3S)|Makoto]]. 3rd Strike is considered by much of the competitive Street Fighter circuit to be the greatest fighting game of all time, let alone in the series, for its depth, parrying system and unique, engaging roster. |

| Home versions of Street fighter 3: 3rd Strike can be found on the Dreamcast, PS2 and X-Box. The Dreamcast version was released in 2000 with some slight differences to the arcade version. In 2004, Capcom released 3rd Strike as part of the "Street Fighter Anniversary Collection" for the X-Box and PS2 which also included [[Hyper Street Fighter 2]]. Today, the PS2 and X-Box versions of the game are widely considered the tournament standard since those two versions are very close ports of the original arcade game. | | Home versions of 3rd Strike can be found on the Dreamcast, PS2 and Xbox.

| | |
| ====Connectors====
| |
| | |
| *+: Used between two other pieces of notation to signify that they should be performed at the same time. i.e. "X" + "Y", "X" should be performed at the same time as "Y".
| |
| ''e.g. F + MP''
| |
| *-> (Sometimes >): Indicates the next part of a sequence. i.e. "X" -> "Y" -> "Z", After "X" is performed, "Y" should follow, then "Z".
| |
| ''e.g. Dash -> Fierce Jet Uppercut''
| |
| *x: Used between two other pieces of notation to signify that the first should be cancelled (interuppted earlier than it would finish otherwise) into the second. i.e. "X" x "Y", "X" should be cancelled into "Y".
| |
| ''e.g. MP x Fierce Shoryuken''
| |
| *~: Indicates that the preceeding action should link (immediately follow with) into the next action. i.e. "X" ~ "Y", "X" should be followed immediately by "Y"
| |
| ''e.g. LK ~ MP ~ HP''
| |
| */: Used to show when two or more options are available at that point in a sequence, invariably to show that they both produce similar if not identical results.
| |
| | |

| |
| *twds - ?????
| |
| *x(Integer) - Number of times - Shows how many times that particular part of a sequence can be repeated.

| == Tier list ==
| |
| | |
| Please note: Tiers are HIGHLY debatable so all lists should be taken with a grain of salt. If a character is only a place or two away from where they <i>"should"</i> be, please refrain from wildly editing this section.

| == Strategy ==
| |
| | |
| Strategy is a very basic concept. It is the principle of using X to beat Y, where X has some sort of advantage over Y. Be it a flat statistic superiority, or a mind game.
| |
| | |
| Here are some general tips to help you begin.
| |
| | |
| *Know your options (and your opponent's). Consider how easy a move might be to super counter. If you keep doing a c.HK with Ryu, sooner or later, your opponent will catch on and punish you, and you DON'T want it to be a super that they choose to punish with.
| |
| | |
| *Super after Parry, if you have been parried by someone, hope is not all lost! Try supering. If you are against someone who parry-counters excessively, it can really throw them off, as invariably a super will beat the move they attempt. This is very risky however, as the opponent always has the option to block.
| |
| | |
| *Bait Throws. Particularily basic players will try to throw whenever you are close to them. So get close to them, avoid their throw, then punish it. Justin Wong, to name just one name, does that all the time.
| |
| | |
| *Mix-up (whilst difficult to encapsulate in one sentence) can roughly be interpretted as: "Doing something that is different to what you have just done, to force the opponent to change his block zone". If you aren't hitting high, try hitting low!
