Street Fighter III: Third Strike is a 2-d fighting game that is considered one of the best in our time. The game's objective is to get your opponents life bar to reach zero by doing connecting punches and kicks or the character's super art. The game still keeps its signature move sets like Ryu and Ken's fireball with more of an added twist.

Game Play:
I began to play this game two years ago at my local arcade in town. I was hooked by its new look and new game play. No more cheap victories for my opponents now. I now have a way to stop the cheap wins by just "Parrying" the attack, a new defense element. This idea really had me going. It brought the game to a whole new level for me.
The characters to choose from seemed interesting. Only four characters were brought back from its last generation of street fighter two. The other fifteen characters really stood out and was interested into see which one i would like to play as. My favorite character of the bunch and now my main is Ibuki, the kunoichi. She doesn't have a fireball or hard hitting moves like most characters do but she speed and a lot of combos. There a lot of combination moves that could easily catch my opponent off guard.
When playing with a friend the game really shines. I always enjoy playing with another person because I enjoy a little smack talking back and forth between my friends and me. Competition in this game is awesome. The parry makes such great contribution to playing with others. Sometimes a friend of mine will try to kill me with their super at technique. I will just parry all of it, take no damage, gain priority ,and began my own counter attack.

Pretty good entry, can't really give you any recommendations, so good job!
