Sean is better than you think in Street Fighter 3.

  • We're back with more Street Fighter 3: Third Strike! 3s has one character who is often looked at as SHOCKINGLY low on the tier list: Sean. (okay Twelve too.) But I believe Sean can actually be pretty scary in the right hands, especially if you don't know how to deal with his moves. Here's some gameplay from Fightcade, I'm playing Ibuki, hope you enjoy!

    • @ab14967
      @ab14967 Před 2 lety +5

      It's a weird one. Sean doesn't have any favorable match-ups with anyone in the cast, while 12 has one or two. It really depends on how you interpret who is the worst one. 12 is the worst because, while he may have those favorable match-ups, he essentially just loses against anyone else. Sean is weird because being the worst shoto in the game still means he is a shoto, so a lot of the common characteristics ensures you won't get instantly bodied by anyone if you know the character well, but it still means he doesn't have an ideal scenario where he can effectively win.

  • @CB66941
    @CB66941 Před 2 lety +3

    Some notes on Sean's matchup:
    - Sean players often rely on supers, his only good TC, and his gimmicky mixups to do damage. His combo damage sucks
    - Sean tackle is often kept hidden in a long set. This is so that the opponent won't expect it and is conditioned to all the other Sean stuff. A sudden ex tackle in neutral can catch even experienced players off guard. But he almost always has one chance to use it.
    - His tatsu is unsafe on hit! Punish him for it
    - wheel kick is tricky at first, but most Sean players utilize it after a crouching forward, or an oki to force an opponent to guess if it'll hit meaty and attempt to parry. If they parry and Sean misses, Sean gets to throw you. If they block and Sean connects, the situation is mostly safe for Sean.
    - Basketball is easily negated by guarding. If you parry the ball you open yourself to throws. Just guard, since that ends up negating throw and his overhead game kinda sucks.
    - SA1 and SA3 is a single parry
    - A rolling Sean is very vulnerable, but makes you think he's invincible to certain attacks.
    - His crouching hurtbox is bigger than Ryu and Ken. Certain attacks will hit a crouching Sean but whiff on Ryu and Ken

    Oh no… Sean is not “one” of the weakest characters. That honor belongs to 12, Remy, and Q. Sean is bottom one in 3s and deserves it

    Sean does no damage with his normals and the only way to win is to take huge risks. Which doesn’t normally pay off anyway.
