AEX Ranbat #1.2 - 3rd Strike (+ HnK, 2X & Ikaruga)

This saturday (may 24th) there will be the second 3rd strike italian ranbat in Milan. For more info please keep an eye on the official topic on our forum!

The main event is of course the 1on1 SF3: 3rd Strike tourney, but there will be space for Hokuto no Ken and Super Street Fighter II X as well (1on1 as usual). Some shmupping is guaranteed, and this time it's all about Ikaruga: powerfuran (western record holder on easy mode) and probably Fontaz (very good normal mode player) will be there for your pleasure!

Mushihimesama - how to get the restart bug

Regarding this video, Max S. asked me how to trigger the bug. It's quite simple to obtain it, but it seems like you just have to be lucky. It works in every mode and in every moment of the game with no particular setting.
If you restart the level sometimes one or some of the enemies on the screen remain in memory so they reappear at the beginning of the level too. This is particularly evident with bosses and mid-bosses, but it's also true for smaller enemies.

So, to put it short, just restart your game when facing the enemy you want to reappear and cross yor fingers. In my experience it happened a lot with the scorpion (well, it has to be said that I practiced it hundreds of times) and it's kinda funny but... Well, if you want to have serious practice it screws things a lot, forcing you to re-restart again.

Anyway, have fun!

Thanks for your work, it was much appreciated.

Fighting Stick

Oh well, I've had two weeks of weird problems with my 2 custom sticks, to the point that I wasn't able to play anymore. MKL luckily helped me by fixing (once and forever, judging by his absolutely outstanding work) one of them and here's the result:


It's Sanwa (stick) + Seimitsu (buttons). Quite unusual, I know, but I find it perfect for 3rd Strike. For some reason I'm better at kara-throw with Chun with this kind of buttons, and the stick is just perfect as it is. For shmups, or STGs if you like it more, my ideal setup would be the opposite. Just like the one in the cabs for 3rd Strike at Tougeki, as far as I know. So one day or another I'll get that one, but for the moment I'm damn fine. Thanks MKL!
