Introduction

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, Q, Twelve, Remy and 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 3rd Strike can be found on the Dreamcast, PS2 and Xbox. The Dreamcast version was released in 2000 with slight differences to the arcade version. In 2004, Capcom released 3rd Strike as part of the "Street Fighter Anniversary Collection" for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 which also included Hyper Street Fighter 2. After this a version dubbed Online Edition was released for Xbox 360 (forward-compatible to current Xbox One/Series consoles) and PlayStation 3 with GGPO-based online play, new features and extra modes. The most recent release of 3rd Strike can be found in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for PC & modern consoles.

The modern online 3rd Strike community plays via Fightcade, a free emulation platform with rollback netcode for arcade games.

2021 renovation project

Work is underway to renovate the format of the 3rd Strike wiki to adopt a mobile-friendly format and improve legibility. You are invited to join the SC Wiki Editor's Discord and coordinate contributions in the 3rd Strike Renovation thread.

-===Throw===
+== 2021 renovation project ==
-A close-ranged grappling maneuver. Throws can be also be Teched (avoided) by pressing the throw command when your opponent reaches for a throw. Holding a direction while doing the command launches the opponent in that direction.

-*LP+LK
+{{Navbox-3S}}
-*(B/F + LP+LK)
-===Universal Overhead===
-A quick mid/overhead attack that hits crouching opponents. Low attacks will miss your character when the UOH is performed.
-*MP+MK
-===Personal Action===
-(Commonly abbreviated as "PA")
-A taunt that gives your character a stat bonus in either attack power, defense, stun ability, etc. The bonus is different for each character and only lasts until the round is over.
-*HP+HK
-===Dash===
-A method of moving your character quickly over a short distance. You cannot block whilst you are dashing.
-*Forward Dash: Tap Forward, Forward
-*Backward Dash: Tap Back, Back
-===Super Jump===
-Similar to a regular jump, except that it carries you furthur, and takes longer to start up.
-*Tap D,U
-==Tiers==
-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.
-===Tier-list===
-TWELVE IS THE BEST
-===Representative Tier-list===
-When considering a tournament, with a large number of competitors, you find that there is invariably more people playing the higher tier characters. Almost to the point where very few (if any) lower tiers appear.
-As such, it is sometimes improper to base a Top level tournament tier list on ALL the match-ups. After taking a flat tier list, and selecting those characters with the highest frequency of appearance (In this case, Yun, Chun-Li, Ken and Makoto). By ranking every character by their match-ups against those four characters, you end up with a more tournament based tier-list.
-This list, essentially, ranks characters on their ability to place in a large scale tournament.
-*Characters who have ranked up are marked by a '''bold''' font.
-*Characters who have ranked down are marked by an ''italic'' font.
-<b>Top Tier:</b>
-:Yun<br>
-:Chun-Li<br>
-<b>Upper Tier:</b>
-:Ken<br>
-:'''Dudley'''<br>
-:''Makoto''<br>
-<b>Middle Tier:</b>
-:'''Akuma'''<br>
-:'''Urien'''<br>
-:''Yang''<br>
-:Ryu<br>
-:'''Ibuki'''<br>
-:''Oro''<br>
-:Elena<br>
-<b>Low Tier:</b>
-:Necro<br>
-:Alex<br>
-:Remy<br>
-:'''Hugo'''<br>
-:''Q''<br>
-:Twelve<br>
-:Sean<br>
-== 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 can roughly be interpreted 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! A mix-up is a using a variety of moves that make your strategy unpredictable.
