Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

Named "The Definition of 2D fightng" SFIII: 3rd Strike is the best Street Fighter to hit the arcade. taking out the gay air block from Street Fighter Apha series the creators replaced it wit parry giving the game a more definit edge over the competition. And with the new "select-a-Special" and "Select-an-opponent" option the game had more depth and was better for the player as you could build a whole stradegy aroung one special and can select the opponents he plays against in arcade mode rather the comp choose for them.
