    I think the missteps with New generation leading to 3rd Strike being so great is exactly what is happening again, with the mistakes with SFV leading to SF6.

    12:54 As a kid, I remember the games press and all of my friends absolutely trashing anything that was still sprite-based during that time. As a fan of hand-drawn art, I felt like they were all taking crazy pills. Playing games with beautiful illustrations next to a chunk of ugly cubes did not seem like an upgrade of any sort. I’m really glad that history has born that out now, because many of those early 3D games aged like milk.

    • @poonoo87
      @poonoo87 Год назад +18

      3D was the brand new thing in the late 90s (yes I know it was around earlier, I'm talking consoles) and even though it looks like crap today it was mind blowing at the time. Sprite based games at the time were already considered "old" at the time since they weren't quite good enough to look like anime/2d animation like it did during the PS2 era with games like Guilty Gear and Odin Sphere. It just looked like a gradual improvement over the 16 bit era while playing games in 3D was a huge change.
      In hindsight 2D sprites in the late 90s look brilliant but when you are comparing that to a completely new way to see and play games that will never be that drastic again (motion controls and VR don't come close) it's hard to stand out.

      Similarly, I took a lot of flak from my “friends” for playing Castlevania Symphony of the night. They really looked down on me for playing such a “baby-game”, while they were jacking off to some 3D Bimbos triangular boobs. I love the PSX, but man, early 3D was and is tough man. Especially when there still were beautiful sprite games.

      @randomcharacter6501 Год назад +7

      People will say its a matter of taste but I agree with you. Before I even played SF2 I was saying MK 1&2 had better graphics. Then once I actually played SF2 The New Challengers on Genesis even, I just fell in love with the art style. Then after that the 3d fighters started to come out and I just didn't get it. They played clunky imo, until Tekken 3. They didn't look good to me until Soul Calibur on DC. From the moment I saw SF at an arcade in the mall I was in love again. There's no such thing as a "wrong" opinion but I gotta say, there's a reason that SF3 is still played and revered today while there's hardly any scene for early 3D fighters. Even if by accident, Capcom made something timeless.

    Yasuhiro Seto was main planner on NG and 2I. Neo_G was main planner on 3rd Strike, and directed Alpha 3 MAX, TvC Ultimate All-Stars (not the original, but UAS specifically) and was battle director on MvC3. MvC3 was his last major contribution before leaving Capcom in 2016 (he did manual design for a bunch of games in-between then).
    Before and in-between the versions of 3 he was planner on Alpha 2, V Savior 2 and Hunter 2 and DS3. After SF3, he was a planner on MvC2, CvS1-2, JJBA Golden Wind, DMC2, Capcom Fighting Jam, and DMC4. He joined the MvC3 team after DMC4.

    Man i honestly loved SF3 New Generation. I played it ALL the time at the arcade back in '97. I loved the music, the graphics, the gameplay, all of it. I thought the game was great. I will admit tho that it wasn't played a lot in general by other people, i would usually be on the cabinet by myself just playing against the computer. Most other people would just be playing Alpha 2, the VS series, or something like Tekken 3.
    I honestly think the only "problem" with New Gen was that it was a truly new SF game that was completely unfamiliar and alien to players: it had an almost entirely brand new cast and people generally didn't like parrying either, they thought it didn't make sense and was weird. People disliked the entire SF3 series, not just New Gen and Second Impact, but Third Strike as well. Honestly it wasn't until Evo moment 37 that people opened their eyes to the series and see how good it was. That's when it seemed like most people jumped on the Third Strike bandwagon. 3S is a great game, but the first two games are also very good in my opinion, and honestly Second Impact is my favorite of the three.

    ...and the Parry system has existed in some form in every game since this interview was conducted. When the series initially returned in 4, the Focus attack and its red variant would be a more accessible version of this idea while Ryu and (fittingly) Gill would receive it in 5. It returns as a universal mechanic in 6, which releases in 2023, two decades afterwards.

    Dude....I feel like such a weird oddball, because when Street Fighter 3 came out, while I never had a dreamcast, I remember seeing it during a free-reading period in 5th grade (started in fall 2000, ended in summer 2001 for the time period) while reading a gamepro magazine in their fighting game + japan section, and was blown away. I felt my mouth drop, and gasped out "woooooooah...." I did read in the section how it said that New Generation and 2nd Impact were polarizing but the upcoming dreamcast release was gaining traction and excitement. Fast forward, and I was reading a 2001 Gamepro Magazine and in the Fighter's Edge section there were tons of info and combos for the characters and I couldn't stop looking at the kick ass visuals. 1997 was when I started watching anime (Thanks Blockbuster for having Guyver!) and I loved how the sprites looked like an anime. I was also balls deep with Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and Street Fighter Alpha 3 so the release of Street Fighter 3 was something I wish I had a chance to play. Then I got the Street Fighter Anniversary collection for the ps2 and I fell in love. The soundtrack, the sound effects, the mechanics, the energy and atmosphere, it felt fresh and familiar at the same time. It's still on my top 3 favorite Street Fighter games list, and I still have a helluva good time playing it now.

    SF3 vanilla was the least popular Capcom fighter in the arcades where I live. Of course, players flocked to try it out but a lot of them went back to the other Capcom fighters. Even SFEX+ had more playtime.

    Been watching your videos for a while, I’m really glad you made this, I can definitely appreciate all of the SF3 iterations a whole lot more.
    As someone that played New Gen in the arcade in ‘97 and actually didn’t hate it…but I couldn’t figure out why I kept getting pulled to other fighters at the time (Even KOF 97 was more enjoyable to me at the time) over New Gen. This video makes sense and really helps fill in a lot of context. Also I don’t know why people were saying you were lying, lots of these kinds of interviews in Japan weren’t archived thoroughly so there’s lots of discussions by developers and directors that were published in various magazines and mooks that are buried. The absence of Ryu and Ken wasn’t considered a far fetched rumor either. Even when NG was the only SF3, it felt like they were afterthoughts.

    The journey from New Gen to 3rd Strike is a powerful reminder that sometimes, cutting your losses isn't the way to go. Sometimes, you should clean up your mess, no matter how hard it is. Street Fighter might not have come back at all, if Capcom had walked away from III after New Gen failed.

    However, one thing that is better with the parry system in second impact vs third strike is the fact that you had TWO ways to parry while in the air. The forward Parry, that would kind of stop your momentum and make you fall, and the down parry that would carry your momentum and continue to traverse the air. That was brilliant and sorely missed in third strike.
