Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is the second follow-up to Street Fighter III. The game increased the character roster by adding five new characters and also added further refinements to the previous game's play mechanics and rules. All the returning characters from the previous Street Fighter III games were given new stages, endings, and voice actors for certain characters, continuing the overall storyline from where the first two games left off.

I don’t know why it took me so long to write something for this game, since this was the game that made me fall in love with 2D fighters. Everything is perfect in this game, the music, the sprites and scenery, and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with Street Fighter. (This was my second SF game after Hyper SF2, cause this came with the game)

Best fighting game ever.
Look, it's third strike, not much has to be said about the legacy and honor that this game has. Parries are sick, SA is a cool system and a lot of a fundamentals of this game stayed with the series for good reason. That being said, I think this game is heavily overrated. I don't mind games with small rosters of viable characters, but some of these guys don't even feel finished. Shawn, Q, Hugo, Twelve, Remi, and like half the mid-teirs in this game only work because the system mechanics exist and are so strong, rather than feeling like a complete character. This feels weirder in Street Fighter because due to it's slight more grounded nature, they don't really have the insane stuff on low-teirs that can make them fun to play in those settings. Not even mentioning Chun and Yun, who are probably some of the most brain-dead top-teirs in this franchise. There's a lot of good, but I just can't vibe with the game as much as I want to given how many of the characters are more frustrating to play than they ever needed to be.
really really good, feels nice to play to this day.
