[ENG SUB] Daigo talks about Street Fighter Zero 3

This is the small part of Daigo almost 2 hours history lesson on Street Fighter throw system. Daigo was explaining about throw system in Street Fighter Zero 3 (Alpha 3) and he went on to talk about guard crush system, then to comment about the game itself...

"Only mania can have fun with X-ISM and Z-ISM. These are too honest (authentic) for normal players."

"If Capcom makes a fair game... no one would play it." Mind-boggling deep quote there. In all my years of playing Street Fighter, I never considered that truth, but it is so true. People say they want fair, but they really want fun.

Ah SFA3, the game that got me into Street Fighter well after I started getting into fighting games with Tekken. I love the Steet Fighter series, and Alpha/Zero 3 will always have a special place in my heart as being on of the best fighting games I've ever played. Its tied with Third Strike as my favorite Street Fighter game ever.

[blackhaze]

I REALLY REALLY love how energetic daigo is...seems like he really enjoyed this game

[thesilentsociety]

Hearing Daigo call Alpha/Zero3 a masterpiece is so awesome

[LordRaptor]

This game is absolutely stunning, on every front, the presentation is the best it's ever been in the series, there's a coherent story, the attention to details both visually and mechanically is crazy and the game is absurdly fun both casually and competitively.

Him talking about with so much energy, he really enjoyed the game :, )

[conanbdetective]

Never thought somebody would echo my thoughts on Alpha 3.

[Infragrim]

Thanks for the video. I always wanted to hear Daigo talk about Alpha 3

[Tinpinming]

agree. 03 remains one of my favorite in the series. it's a game where footsies REALLY counted. You had to use EVERYTHING you have to win the game.

[tolontolon]

3:57 the wisdom of a GOD. i dont usually hear the praises for alpha 3, i love alpha3 specially the world tour mode. getting to customize your character then fight ur homeboys... it was AMAZING!!

[NY-Buddy]

Glad we agree that this was THE BEST street fighter!!

Side note: aside from RNG orbs, Pocket Fighter was also a really good fighting game

[bazooie]

Thanks for this translation! Daigo has so much detailed insight into fighting game design! I love that he considers how these mechanics also affect players and the community.

I didn't think about all this but after watching this video it makes sense why I like king of fighters so much. And king of fighters 13 specifically capitalizes on all these alternative mechanics to open people up with out heavy reliance on throw.

The hop system allows the high low mixups, similar to vampire savior despite being a bit slower. While also having a guard break option to break the defense of an opponent. Plus it still holds the classic F/B+HP/HK throw option which also reduces the reliance on throws on offense. And to top it off despite all the alternative methods to opening people up throws are still entirely useful which is pretty amazing game design.

All these paired with KOFs great defensive options, guard cancel blowback/roll, fall break, standard roll, all the varied hops. I would say King of Fighters is the King of Fair fighting game mechanics. Although combo wise kof games can tend to be anything but fair lol

I didn't want this video to end XD

[Wladislav]

Thank you so much for translating his talks.

[SnuffThePunkXx]

Hearing Daigo say GODLIKE is my new fav thing

[thejunkmanlives]

people shouldnt be surprised by this. during sf4 he talked about wanting guard crush in that(which is 100 percent what that game needed).

[rasui]

YES it's what I've been saying for years! Remove V-Ism and the game is PERFECT

[Joesire]

This was my favorite street fighter. I played this sunmer long during 7th to 8th grade.
