Depending if the collab is good or not im going to pull a tekken move and canonically include akuma streetfighter in my monhun OCs lore
So I picked up Third Strike recently and I've been absolutely loving it. The fact that this pretty old fighting game from 1999 still has a passionate and active enough fanbase for me to still reliably find players around the novice skill level I'm at is really cool, and the game itself is just so perfect in so many ways. I've been playing Rivals of Aether (a plat fighter) competitively for awhile now and while it's cool and all, I've always been interested in picking up and really getting into at least one traditional fighting game. I have Tekken 7 on the PS4 and while I did like that for a bit, it was just a little bit too daunting for me for me to really pursue competitively. I also have UMVC3 but I do literally nothing there but get my ass kicked by the CPU in arcade mode with Phoenix Wright.
But Third Strike is just really fun to me, it feels more welcoming to a newer player like me (which is a miracle for a game from 1999) and the skill floor feels a lot lower while at the same time presenting me with a really high skill ceiling that I wanna strive for. Went from Yang to Dudley to Chun in quick succession and now I think I've settled on Chun. She's really fun I think and she's probably gonna make the game learning process easier. I'm not a tier snob I swear I just think she's cool
Anyways, what I really want to talk about this post is how I got into it in the first place.
It's this. It's literally just this video. I started Third Strike because of the [SPONGE GOKU SATSU]
I just randomly started listening to Akuma's theme over and over and every time is reappearing in my youtube feed I'd click on it again. Every time I played it I would instinctively lean forward in my chair like I was doing a Raging Demon, too. I was familiar with Akuma because of Tekken 7 and honestly Raging Demon edits are probably some of my favorite content from the FGC. The "loop" of me listening to it only began earlier this month but this isn't even the first time I've been losing it to this video. I think I saw it the first time like 2 years ago lmao.
Eventually I reached a point where I was like "hey wait. fightcade's free and easy to set up. why not".
So thanks, Spongebob Raging Demon video, for introducing me to a bomb ass fighting game.
Bring this feeling with you.
Akuma Chibi. Messatsu
