The likelihood of Capcom releasing an HD Remix version of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike isn’t good. In response to a user question about a retail remake of the game, Capcom’s Chris Svennson said it would be “somewhat unlikely” that we’ll see it. He cited technical challenges and lessons learned while creating Street Fighter II Turbo Blueberry Pie HD Remix as the reasons.
“An HD Remix on SF3 would be a challenge in and of itself given the number of frames of animation and effects that would have to be redone, especially in light of what we learned on SSF2THDR,” Svennson said. “As such, the very nature of the project you're suggesting is somewhat unlikely.”
But wait, we live in a world full of possibilities: one second you’re hoping to win two dollars from a scratch-off lottery ticket. The next, you’re buying cocaine and fish eggs by the pound. Or, in this case, remaking another Street Fighter game because the last one starting selling like hotcakes because Vin Diesel endorsed it on Oprah.
“But if it were to happen, I would suspect a retail release would also be unlikely given our current strategy for Remixes.”
So, there you go. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike HD Remix could happen, but it doesn’t seem like Capcom is seriously considering it yet. And good for them: typing “SFIII3HDR” is tougher than it looks.

i spend so much time mastering blocking in street fighter 3 that i can't control myself in street 4 and keep jumping forward wich mean loosing every time...
bring back street 3 with online i wan't to win again.
"i spend so much time mastering blocking in street fighter 3..."
Um...you mean parrying? Certainly sounds like you sure 'mastered' it.
@benus, i had the same problem until i stopped playing SF3 (for that reason and also after getting my ass handed to me in GGPO) and played SFIV exclusively.
Not really sure thay SFIII needs an HD remix, it's already pretty good looking. Another release with online play would be fine with me.
Parrying would have to be fixed so it can't be abused.
Yun, Chun, Dudley, and Ken would have to be toned down a lot and Hugo, Q, Sean, and Necro would have to be boosted.
On top of redrawing everything. And really, I don't want 3s redrawn. It's still one of the most beautiful and fluid 2D fighters ever.
And I think it, as well as the other street fighters, are way better than Street Fighter 4 ever will be.
Capcom just rereleasing this on PSN and XBLA would be fine just like there doing with MvC2.
Just tweak it here and there add online and your good.
No need for the graphic upgrades.
Sprites might not look so good on HD now but there not awful
capcom doesn't equalize their fighting games. If they did than people who play street fighter online would choose someone other than, Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Sagat, or Gouken.
@ Chronic Logic
get out
No.
Mm hmm.
I'd pay for this unremixed if it has online features.
Also, Chronic Logic just trolled you all. ...I think.
i was surprised because everybody i know in europe call it blocking... never heard of parrying before.
Unless they're gonna go King of Fighters 13 on our asses, I agree 100%
I'm thinking they can save shitloads of money this way.
;-)
Also, Gouken and Ken are garbage in this game. They don't tip the balance at all because both are just straight trash compared to Sagat and others. You know how the list goes?
Sagat, C. Viper, Akuma, Ryu, Balrog and/or M. Bison. That's how it goes. But Akuma and Viper are coming close to winning tournaments while Hondas, Blankas, Chun-li's, and even some El Fuertes are winning more than the "Furious 5"
SF3:3S is probably my favorite 2D fighter of all time but I can't hide the fact that it's unbalanaced as fuck.
SF4 is like a equality-fest compared to SF3. Despite SF4 having 5 or so MORE characters than SF3:3S, it has HALF the total deviation from top tier to bottom tier on ranking lists.
Crazy.
BALANCE THAT SHIT, CAPCOM and I will buy it with no additional content.
But that's not to say that I wouldn't like me some more 3rd Strike.
well not everyone goes to tournaments man. Abel winning a tournamt doesn't change how cheap players use only 5 of the 18 fighters. Besides they still they the fighters I mentioned are still the most used on SF4 online. And you bringing up the fact that them allowing Seth (a boss character) winning a tournament only proves my point further. My point was that only certain characters are used because Capcoms fighting games are unbalanced. We'll never see El Fuente win a tournament for this very reason.
