While some of the trials, such as the parrying challenges, are extremely tricky and frustrating to pull off, the ability to easily restart a trial with the touch of a button ensures that you'll always keep coming back to try again.
Luckily, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition includes new Trials and Training modes to help new players get into the swing of things, as well as allow veterans to perfect their tactics. Don't know your parrying from your canceling moves? Don't even bother button mashers need not apply. While its predecessors and successors were pick-up-and-play friendly, Street Fighter III's sophisticated fighting system almost required you to be a seasoned veteran of the series to have even a smidgen of a chance at victory at your local arcade. Even Street Fighter IV boasted more forgiving and approachable fighting mechanics. As the most hardcore and technical entry in the long-lasting franchise's history, Street Fighter III has never really had the mass appeal of Street Fighter II.
'Unleashing a Raging Demon' is currently my favorite euphemism for going to the bathroom. Capcom isn't in the habit of releasing quick and dirty ports, and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition is no exception. Unlike some of its fighting competitors, Capcom has really taken the time to bring these old games into a new, online-enabled, HD gaming world. With its multiple releases on XBLA and the PSN Store, Capcom's Street Fighter series has been on a tremendous winning streak this generation.
