A friend popped over to my house with his family on last Sunday. The guy is one of my old school Street Fighter 3: Third Strike arcade friends. we actually met over the Original Xbox SF 15th Anniversary edition. Some of you may know him as Harmonaz.

We played some Super Street Fighter II Turbo (MiSTer) and some Street Fighter III: Third Strike (FBNeo). I know the CPS3 MiSTer core is still a considerable time away, but whenever it comes, it'll be awesome, as the thing that made me purchase mt MiSTer was SSF2X, everything else is a bonus. I am so happy I made the purchase as I've found so many new old games and systems to enjoy.

SSF2T also added four new characters to the roster, including Akuma, who became an instant fan favorite.

Street Fighter 3 Third Strike (SF3TS) is often cited as one of the most technically demanding fighting games ever made.

SF3TS also introduced a new roster of characters, including fan favorites like Chun-Li and Ryu, as well as new characters like the enigmatic Q and the acrobatic Yun. The game's fluid animation and memorable soundtrack have also made it a fan favorite.

Both SSF2T and SF3TS have had a lasting impact on the fighting game genre. They set a new standard for depth and complexity, and inspired countless other fighting games in the years that followed. These games also remain popular among the competitive fighting game community, with tournaments and events still being held to this day.
