Introduction
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.
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.
High/Mid attacks: tap F
Low attacks: tap D

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 "should" be, please refrain from wildly editing this section.
Top Tier:
Yun
Chun-Li
Ken
Makoto (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)
Upper Tier:
Yang
Dudley
Akuma
Urien (Urien is considered dead even with Ryu in terms of matchups in Japan)
Middle Tier:
Ryu
Oro
Elena
Ibuki
Alex
Low Tier:
