I don’t think i’ll ever stop being amazed by the fluency and quality of third strikes sprites and animations. Have never played the game personally but I can safely say its one of my favourites to watch.
Hands down, Q is the coolest char on 3s, maybe Street Fighter as a whole. The man is always around misterious death and there he is, standing *Menancingly ゴゴゴゴ*
Yeah, looks like he parried your standing heavy at 11:00, guy was really good at blocking and parrying your attacks. Add in the taunt buff and he was a rock on hit points.
That's my Makoto lol 😅 I saw you streaming and was watching the baby but and I couldn't pass it up, I had to put my baby in my lap and play around her. You got me real sweaty that match, maybe we can try again sometime. I don't play many ibuki's, and yours is solid
I straight up love Q's play style. He exemplifies the standards of Shotokan far more than even Ryu or Ken - Observe, defend, Punish. Never make the first move but Always make the last.
I feel like that Q player wasn’t that good. He didn’t confirm any supers that he did (he got lucky to hit them), he missed a lot of opportunities to taunt, and he did nothing of value after his command grabs.
Yeah what the hell was that command grab into jumping jab that he did at least twice? He gave up a grip of damage for a completely ineffective mixup (if you can even call it that).
Your words are true in regards to "In the right hands, they can do a lot of work" I didn't like 3rd strike until I moved to Japan and saw how this game was meant to be played, after that I was hooked. Name any character, In my 7 years there, I have witnessed people who could mop the floor with them (yes even twelve against Chu Li or Yun). Keep practicing your Ibuki man, she's awesome (she's my main too) :D
If you have the mental fortitude to play Q, people should never sleep on you. Definitely a bad ass character in the right hands. My favorite behind Sagat in the entire series.
Nice footage, love to see it (also just a quick tip: after stun, it’s more optimal to go for medium kick raida than the punch target combo, u get more hits but scaling hits hard)
I think parry makes characters like hugo and Q way more scary, when a player has lots of game experience and consistent parries they become very strong especially vs low middle level players who arent quite that deep in the parry/read/bait meta.
Watching decent Q players always brightens up my day. I like watching the old android pull and push his heavy weight around productively By the by, aside from the fact that his design takes inspiration from old Japanese robot detective shows, he has the distinction of shutting down while standing when beaten by chip damage, rather than some other mannerism.
Also, when he gets shocked, his skeleton appears to be different. He's probably some android human hybrid of sorts. He can also cry in one of his winning poses.
also the leading theory behind q is that he's either something made by g or an army of imperfect g clones that g can control, hence why q seems to be spotted in multiple places simultaneously.
@@MarcosVinicius-ge2ry G has 80% of Q’s moves, has his outfit, has a one letter name, has a mysterious background and origin, and appears in a game that is chronologically before Third Strike. G is half the answer to Q’s origin. Q is a brainwashed G with most of his powers stripped except for his damage reduction and explosive abilities. It’s still only half the answer as they’re keeping it a mystery still, but it’s not hard to connect dots and see a huge similarity lmao.
There is amazing detail that SF3 third strike offers in the sprite animations, where I haven't seen it in any other 2d game, if you play dudley when you use the super power "Corkscrew Blow" you will notice that his cheeks move with the strength of his fist.
This Q player could've been way more menacing had he linked those command grabs more accurately. He misses one of Q strongest combo setups. Can't blame him, it's really challenging to catch your opponent midair with those dashing attacks, and the setup differs from character to character.
Yeah the thing about playing against characters like Q is that they are the type that sits in the back and waits for you to engage, so they have the upper hand because all they have to do is react to what you are doing, so the active player attacks, does damage here and there, but at the end they get you unless you are one of those super agressive players that throw 23425 attacks that eventually overwhelm the other player
With the taunt boosts, I never knew these benefits existed until I saw it on RUclips one day. And it's already been years since I was playing it. A decade or more. Imagine playing against the computer knowing these things.
Q is one of my favourites to play. He is unorthodox, yes, but once you master his specials, he is a great option. Don't sleep on his overhead dash punch! Hold HP when you do the Sonic Boom motion and he will do a dashing overhead punch rather than a dashing straight. Big damage from that
I think the connection between Q and G are a bit nebulous, although it seems possible that if G is an incarnation of the word/physical laws/some sort of belief that Q may have been an earlier incarnation or avatar, possibly an incomplete, inverted, or disapproving one.
Q can be pretty tough in the right hands and this player wasn't even particularly all that good compared to some of the top Qs. Kept on dropping the C&DB follow-up combos which can really eat away at the health bar and wasn't generally that proactive at taking advantage during times when they had an opening to taunt. You still playing 3rd Strike these days or have you given up on the B rank dream after SFVI came out?
the only really strong tool Q has is his kara throw, especially if someone is good enough to consistently kara into his command throw. Those are by far his strongest options.
Abare Tosanami is scarier because if they combo the double Fukiage after, you know you're against a hella practiced Makoto and you've just been montage'd
Whenever I see a new 3s video about getting bodied by a low-tier character I think about all those Kuroda dvds. If you love watching 3s but you haven't seen Kuroda play look him up. He was at least a top 5 player on every single character His Q was particularly scary
Yeah, he's a solid player but he whiffed a lot of his attacks following the throw grab when he could just do two dash punches or just taunt or something.
I feel like the foundations were good, but their inability to capitalize on throws meant they might not be actually that practiced with Q. Maybe they normally main someone else and are learning Q?
Pretty sure that's a no but it was a good urban legend lore wise for a long time. They might retcon it one day so that's true if they ever do anything with Q again.
Q is G from sfv but he got brainwashed somehow and forgot he was the president hopefully they’ll touch up on this in sf6 because it’s pretty interesting
The theory that he's Chun Li's father is another interesting facet. Especially since Third Strike was their debut game and he seems to battling internally
I hate when people say “health pool” or “stamina” because it sounds confusing. The more accurate way to describe Q’s taunts is defense. I know there is no base defense stat in the game, but it does a better job at describing how his taunt works. Other than that, i love my tall 🅱️oi. He’s low tier, but the best of them.
this Q was too aggressive imo and would have done better if he took more taunt opportunities rather than trying for follow-ups that whiffed more often than not and got punished
Man its funny seeing third strike. I recently picked up 30th anniversary to play it and I'm really bad. Like can't hit a DP to save my life getting smoked by Alex players the whole time. Im hoping sf6 will be a smoother new player experience considering player numbers.
You can actually learn a lot by watching this guy Like jumping medium kick is his best all around air normal, HP and HK are good parry fuck ups, LP is his Air to Air etc
The only thing I'd change is either labbing and practicing the command grab follow ups because he whiffed a lot... Or just remember to taunt, if you get the grab early.
Man when ever I see third strike I'm always so impressed with how smooth the animations are
CPS-3 does that to you
Just look at Jojo heritage for the future
its actually crazy smoothest shit ive ever seen
Especially considering the game was released in 1999.
I've always wondered if they had to unsmooth Yun's animations when he was added to the Alpha series.
7:49 Oh man I’ve never noticed Q’s full parry animation! Wipes off the coat after parrying with his chest? So sick lol
I don’t think i’ll ever stop being amazed by the fluency and quality of third strikes sprites and animations. Have never played the game personally but I can safely say its one of my favourites to watch.
You gotta play it bro. It's freeeee
I need to learn how to animate like that
Yeah. Looks great.
Fluid, not fluent.
@@mrosskne no....they speak to me.
I haven't played SF3 in about 15 years, and I am trash, but I am having a lot of fun rediscovering it on Fightcade :)
Hands down, Q is the coolest char on 3s, maybe Street Fighter as a whole. The man is always around misterious death and there he is, standing *Menancingly ゴゴゴゴ*
remy has a double hitting sweep tho
Yeah, looks like he parried your standing heavy at 11:00, guy was really good at blocking and parrying your attacks. Add in the taunt buff and he was a rock on hit points.

We may not know much about q but we know he's cool as fuck
I love how you don’t only post your wins. It’s such a great experience watching you. It’s if I’m learning and gaming with you 🎉
Dude, amazing hit confirm at 3:43! Keep the great content coming
Nice footage, love to see it (also just a quick tip: after stun, it’s more optimal to go for medium kick raida than the punch target combo, u get more hits but scaling hits hard)
You're a really chill person bro, keep up the amazing content 🤝
Don't sleep on Q. Even though he's considered low/mid. He has top tier damage output. So if he touches you it's gonna hurt.
He does make big damage but also slow
@@axelmiramontes409 that's why you don't let him touch you. But if the player is good at parrying then you gotta be careful.
@@nybethobdilord6912 thats true

what if? If while on the ground, he launches the double kick, does it deal fall damage? 8:30
Q is one funky boi. I hope either him or G reappear in SFVI. 👌
Q is G
Source: trust me👍
I hope for both. They're both rather distinct despite apparent similarities in their movesets, though Q's would certainly need polish to keep up.
@@MarcosVinicius-ge2ry He is

That “CHIP!” yell had big Colossus from the X-men arcade game energy
This game still looks incredible. I love the resting animations for every character, especially Hugo, he's terrifying.

Fine, I'll set up Fightcade tonight. You win jmcrofts
There is nothing more dominating than grabbing someone by the head and throwing them around like a friggin rag doll.
where did you get the files for third strike?
Q is scary in experienced hands.
anyone with the patience to learn him enough to be competitive…yeah.
Ibuki has the coolest standing fierce kick animation ever.
I'd love you to make a video about Blade Strangers, it's a pretty solid game.
I love playing Q so damn much
Never Underestimate “To catch a Predator”
I think the connection between Q and G are a bit nebulous, although it seems possible that if G is an incarnation of the word/physical laws/some sort of belief that Q may have been an earlier incarnation or avatar, possibly an incomplete, inverted, or disapproving one.
Hey man I need help 😅, I can’t get MvC2 to work on Fightcade any suggestions?
Jm can you please please tell me how to do 2 hits in air as Ibuki I'm new and can't find it on Google
Like when she does the punch then kick in the air
Where are u playing this game(i mean platform like ps3 or pc)?

"Q is not an android"
He could be: I thought Q's whole deal is that no one knows what he is?
Q is essentially Ridley in Smash Ultimate! :D
Q becomes next tier when you can consistently get his kara command grab.
the only really strong tool Q has is his kara throw, especially if someone is good enough to consistently kara into his command throw. Those are by far his strongest options.
lol this Q has no absolutly no punish after the command grab
Do you play third strike on an old CRT too?
Do you think you’ll ever get into jojo heritage into the future, it’s on fightcade and pretty fun.
Abare Tosanami is scarier because if they combo the double Fukiage after, you know you're against a hella practiced Makoto and you've just been montage'd
Q & G, now we need P & B or T & D to get the other common pair of plosives.
From my experience, the most fun matchup in 3s is three taunts Q vs Ibuki
17:19 Q was not having it.
My mains for this game are Q, Twelve, Remy, Urien and ofc my main main, Akuma. 😍
Whenever I see a new 3s video about getting bodied by a low-tier character I think about all those Kuroda dvds.
If you love watching 3s but you haven't seen Kuroda play look him up. He was at least a top 5 player on every single character
His Q was particularly scary
he was a little too good at the ibuki match up, very scary
these videos should be called "watch me get my ass kicked with ibuki with a different character"
To answer your lore question, there's been no definitive answer given about who or what Q is.
i love this game, sucks that I'll never be able to react fast enough to parry
It is 10% reaction, 10% timing, and 80% reading the opponent.
lol no
@@mrosskne Then you must be terrible at fighting games in general, it's OK!
Why doesn't this Q player taunt after the grab, instead of always wiffing that dash punch?
Yeah, he's a solid player but he whiffed a lot of his attacks following the throw grab when he could just do two dash punches or just taunt or something.
I feel like the foundations were good, but their inability to capitalize on throws meant they might not be actually that practiced with Q. Maybe they normally main someone else and are learning Q?
I don’t play 3rd strike but from what I can tell that ibuki is getting really good
Is Q the same guy on kens ship in sf2 champion edition 🤔
Pretty sure that's a no but it was a good urban legend lore wise for a long time. They might retcon it one day so that's true if they ever do anything with Q again.
Q is that one guy in kens sf2 stagew in the background
Q is G from sfv but he got brainwashed somehow and forgot he was the president hopefully they’ll touch up on this in sf6 because it’s pretty interesting
The theory that he's Chun Li's father is another interesting facet. Especially since Third Strike was their debut game and he seems to battling internally
great vid
Qrumbled
I believe in JM's B Rank Ibuki!
Just gonna name drop Kuroda for anyone that hasn't seen Q played at a competitive level
There's TM too, bro plays him a hell of a lot differently though.
As good of a Q as his was, the amount of drops on his command throw follow up irks me.
Where is he playing? I liked play too
Fightcade 2
slide is always punishable by command grab
I hate when people say “health pool” or “stamina” because it sounds confusing.
The more accurate way to describe Q’s taunts is defense.
I know there is no base defense stat in the game, but it does a better job at describing how his taunt works.
Other than that, i love my tall 🅱️oi. He’s low tier, but the best of them.
Have a nice day buddy
You realize you can fight Q in arcade mode? But you have to fulfill the requirements of not losing a single round before the 8th battle
ggs
ngl i kinda want to main q if I ever get into this game.
i'm a B ranked Q on fc, and i honestly think he's not a bad char. he's not GOOD, but he's solidly mid tier, probably better than alex and necro IMO.
I played jmcroft the other day. I cooked him with my Yolo Elena. Then he beat my Ryu. Beat my Q and told me GGS 😂
CHIPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! best line this set :)
Q My beloved
Why does such a talented Q player squander or miss most of the juggles from the command grab?
Who here wanna see jmcrofts vs bigyellow's Q ?
Damn mayo going by dogawardshow now
this Q was too aggressive imo and would have done better if he took more taunt opportunities rather than trying for follow-ups that whiffed more often than not and got punished
Q has 15 inches of what?!
not to dog on this Q player but uhh. SA2 for ibuki probably and the big one is dang why couldnt he land one proper command throw combo.
He was always my favorite in this game lol idek why
I love Q. I don't care if he's trash.
i want to main Q
Q is the goat. i beat the shit out of gill with him in arcade. also twelve is like 10 times worse than Q. Q is actually usable.
That Q was baaaaaaaad
bottom 3? Q? remy, sean and twelve level? not at all
Q is a demon 😂😂😂
Man its funny seeing third strike. I recently picked up 30th anniversary to play it and I'm really bad. Like can't hit a DP to save my life getting smoked by Alex players the whole time. Im hoping sf6 will be a smoother new player experience considering player numbers.

can you just do videos that are the intro part and not you playing the game
Q is not considered bad at all. Why do people propagate this myth.
He *is* considered bad by some, that is not a myth.
Its just also a mistake, underestimating him.
