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.

-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. 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.

-''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".
-*~: 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''
-''e.g. MP x Fierce Shoryuken''
-*/: 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.
-*Tap/Rapidly - Repeatedly press a button.
-== Game Mechanics ==
-===Parrying===
-(Also known as "Blocking" or "Teching" in Japan)
-A defense mechanic that gives a slight frame advantage to the defender and leaves the opponent open for a counterattack. The Parry can also be done in the air.
-As a general rule:
-*Against High/Mid attacks: Tap F
-*Against Low attacks: Tap D
-However some moves can be parried with either.
-===Throw===
-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
-*(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 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 F, F
-*Backward Dash: Tap B, B
-===Super Jump===
-Similar to a regular jump, except that it carries you furthur, and takes longer to start up.
-*Tap D,U
-== 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.
-<b>Top Tier:</b>
-Yun<br>
-Chun-Li<br>
-Ken<br>
-Makoto <i>(ARGUABLY -- she is said to be considered top tier in Japan, but non-Japanese players generally argue that her playstyle is too unpredictable and inconsistent to be top tier)</i>
-<b>Upper Tier:</b>
-Dudley<br>
-Yang<br>
-Akuma<br>
-Urien <i>(Urien is considered dead even with Ryu in terms of matchups in Japan)</i><br>
-<b>Middle Tier:</b>
-Ryu<br>
-Oro<br>
-Elena<br>
-Ibuki<br>
-Necro<br>
-<b>Low Tier:</b>
-Alex<br>
-Remy<br>
-Q<br>
-Hugo<br>
-Twelve<br>
-Sean<br>
-== Basic Strategy ==
-Bait Throws. Everyone trys to throw when you are close to them, so get close to them, then avoid their throw, then punish it. JustinW does that all the time.
