On this part, we're going as the main man himself, the World Warrior, Ryu.

I finally remembered playing this game without continues, is by making use of savestates. Quicksaving saved my ass when I'm in a dire situation when it comes to playing games on emulators, and it's better than using GameShark and Action Replay codes. Whenever I felt using my savestates, it allows me to predict the game's AI's actions and when to attack when they are in the open.

Though I am not into doing tool-assisted speedruns (TAS), but the fact that emulators have quicksave features can help you set things right in your gameplay.

Also, by making good use of the savestates, this was vital for me when to use Ryu's Shin Shoryuken, as it requires a certain frame of distance for it to connect; as the Metsu Shoryuken is the close-range version of it. Technically in SFA3, it's impossible to finish off the opponent with the Shin Shoryuken, let alone if they are stunned as it needs Ryu to be at a certain distance, and if the elbow hits when the opponent's health is critical, it becomes a OHKO and it ends with just the Metsu Shoryuken instead.
