I find ryu awesomely easy to pick up ala his shoto buzz

and ken, cos its 3s ken lol

but the way your explaining how to play elena, only someone who is above beginner level would understand. (Baiting and Solid Footsies)

Im not tryna be a dick, just that when your tryna explain something to some one whos just starting to play this game, i find footsies in 3s abit different to other sf, but thats just me, also they've gotta get used to parrys aswell. I'd tell them to go with someone that has a better all-round game, so you can pick up the basics then move onto specialised characters. Ryu and Ken are that for me in this game.......im sure ive completly missed someone altogether but thats where I'd point Mr Ill in....

But thats just my 2cents.

although you can't choose which character they'd like so if he wants Alex then......its alex

Yeah you're probably right.
When it comes down to it, if you want to pick someone to start with, I'd go with someone who has hit confirms and deals good damage either off of normals or off of combos.
Ryu is solid as hell in these fields but what you will probably find is that he's kind of overly simple, so you have to be on point with mixups otherwise his shit is so obvious and you're going to be easily parried.

I do think you make poking with Elena sound complicated though. Her normals are pretty damn good, and s. RH going over lows as well as being able to move it forward and backward is insane. Her jump attacks are also amazing. She does probably take a little more confidence to pick up and use though, as she isn't a tried and true shoto.

You do sort of end up in a certain point in 3s where once you know the game you can pretty much use anyone mostly because of the parry system and uoh. You just add in some different mixups or whatever each character has then go to town in similiar ways you do with your main.

One positive of choosing Ryu or Alex is that at least you aren't gimped with health so you have some leeway when it comes to taking risks ie parrying, that you don't really have the luxury of attempting with some other characters i.e necro, remy, ibuki.

As far as non shotos that I don't believe are intimidating to take up, I'd say  Yang. Yang has a lot of neat complicated shit but even just with low and high combos into swipes, and some basic dive pressure he's solid.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bitter!
Haha.

Oro, start by playing him as a poke character, st.fk xx command throw is your punish, cr.fk xx command throw, st.fp and kara throw your mixups. Deck them, 3 stone tengu -> st.short and cr.short 'til they die.
Probably more likely to get you punched in the face than massing a huge win streak 

If you like and can do the chicken into 5 stone, remember in the corner go into tengu out of flipper punch reset (cr.fierce) then throw a short, then your roundhouse juggle. Depending on the character it stops the stun scale and lets you get your 5 free roundhouses on Q. Then mock them for missing the parry.

Oro may be old but he's got a few tricks  (ex fireball unblockable, stupid jab/flipper resets, instant air/landing chickens/kara overhead)



Does PS2 version of 3S have unblockables?

Does PS2 version of 3S have unblockables?

Yup

[CrazyMobius]

Yup

That's lame.

[[8-----D] Toots]

 

[stereomonkey]

Someone don't like unblockables by the sound of it.

[fluxcore]

Put it this way.

None of the top-top tier chars make use of unblockables. Therefore they only buff the weaker chars. Therefore they are good.

Not to mention it's the standard.
