Third Strike has a built-in judging system that assigns the winner of each match a letter grade, reflecting their performance in the game. I have yet to determine what constitutes a good grade or a bad one, as I have gotten double perfects in some matches and have been rewarded with C's and D's. I have a new favorite character: Hugo. Hearing him count "eins, zwei, drei" as he performs his super wrestling move is priceless.

This is one of my favorite fighters. I have loved street fighter ever since I first started playing arcade Street Fighter 2 as a little kid. Street Fighter 3 is very technical now. I love how I'll choose Sean making people think I don't know what I'm doing, and beating them faster then they can say Shungokusatsu. Hope you enjoy 3rd Strike more.

I've noticed if you parry alot, your grade tends to go up. Though other things affect it too, like how many attacks you manage to block, how many hits you actually land vs blocked ones, how well you press attacks, etc. However, this grading system probably shouldn't be taken too seriously, as many times matches between top players also result in Cs and Ds.
