Underrated game for an underrated system

[Rollermacka]

I have been playing Street fighter 3: Third Strike for the Dreamcast and I have to say that is an awesome 2D fighter for an awesome system that neither one got any credit.  I was just wonderin who else has the game and who is your favorite character to use.  My favorite character has to be Akuma.  Even though he is in plenty of other Street fighter/Capcom fighter games I am gonna say he is my favorite in this game and I think he is also very well rounded in this game not just powerful but fast too.

Is there any way to actually fight Q as a character because I have beat the game with several diffrent fighters and never fought him.

Q is actually a hidden character to face. I think you have to make sure, to not lose a round...and end your fights with a special everytime...and Q even has a hidden BGM when he shows up...


My favorite characters on SF3 series, would have to be Hugo, Ken, Akuma, Oro, Makoto, and Yang (his brother, Yun, I never really liked and Yang is just like Gen imho)

trust me man, 3rd Strike has it's loyal fans and they still exist to this day, you just never see them, since 3rd Strike was pretty much blind-swiped in the spotlight by MVC2.

Which imho, certainly ruined the 2D fighters (not saying MVC2 sucked, just saying it damaged alot of ways average gamers view 2D fighters these days)...because every person who tried to play another 2D fighter afterwords, would complain "it's too slow!"...much like when CVS2 first arrived

Yet, 3rd Strike I would have to say, stays up right next to Garou MOTW...both games are shear masterpieces. Especially 3rd Strike was so well-rounded and balanced compared to the first installments.

However I do have SF3 Double Impact for kicks..because the sound effects and BGM are totally different...plus I miss the classic intros badly...both "2nd Impact" and "New Generation" should have been included in the SF Anniversary game or something...because they were so nice to look at back then and still handles well.
