The streamer experiences stream freezes and restarts, describing the disruption and how they recovered.

Maximilian Dood dives deep into 2XKO and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, hashing out frame data, character quirks, and the endless lab work it takes to stay sharp online.

Summary

Maximilian Dood spends a marathon live stream bouncing between 2XKO and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, sharing his evolving impressions as he experiments with Akali, Warwick, Darius, and older 3S favorites. He vents about the game’s quirky controls, lingering projectiles, and the constant need to lab new setups when you switch to a new character. Throughout, he riffs on frame rate hiccups, input timing, and the challenge of making sense of a game that rewards exact inputs and timing windows. There are moments of pure praise when the feel of Third Strike clicks—“the game feels so good to play”—and long stretches of frustration when a button doesn’t come out or a parry misreads. Maximilian also discusses emulation experiences (RPCS3 for Third Strike) and the search for a stable online portal to keep matches going without ridiculous teleports. Between matches, he reflects on why Third Strike endures: community familiarity, hard-to-master mechanics, and a timeless pace that makes every win feel earned. If you’re curious about how a long-running FG community keeps returning to a game that’s famously demanding, this stream is a candid, wall-to-wall showcase of that attraction.

Key Takeaways

  • Akali’s 2XKO kit is cool but slow to master; Maximilian notes it will take substantial lab time to feel truly comfortable with her system, especially compared to Darius/Warwick.
  • Frame-rate and input lag are recurring hurdles on PC/RPCS3 for Third Strike; balancing settings (like smoothing/input delay) is necessary to reduce teleports and stuttering during long sessions.
  • High-skill execution remains critical in 3S: Maximilian highlights the difficulty of parries, precise throws, and timing windows, admitting he misses inputs and struggles with double inputs after long breaks.
  • Online consistency varies: he encounters teleporting opponents and unstable connections, underscoring why a stable modern port or retro-arcade setup matters for long-term play.
  • Community familiarity and nostalgia drive ongoing interest: many players he faces are names from years past, proving Third Strike’s enduring appeal and the “world of Street Fighter 3” vibe.
  • Emulation and port talk: he confirms attempts with RPCS3 and discusses the trade-offs between faithful experience and playable frame rates, noting that the current PC/console state is a continual work in progress.
  • Despite the chaos, the stream waxes enthusiastic about 3S’s depth and timing: when a combo lands or a setup works, the payoff is worth the effort, epitomized by his closing sentiment that Third Strike clicked again after a long break.

What is that? It If you do it too early, assist comes out right. So that requires timing. Okay. No, it's circumvented. You're pinned. My turn. Oh, wow. Could I actually tag her in there? I probably could, but I don't know if I would want to. Only problem with this game is that you get a new character, you have to lab so much. Takes so much time to figure out cool [ __ ] unless you have an intimate understanding of the systems. Aha. Okay. So, that does work. That does work. H yo, Land Party, thanks for the bits, dude.

Subtle dagger brings truth TO LIFE. AKALI WINS. Here's the bad thing. I'm missing Darius. That is the only bad part about using this new character is that I really miss Darius. I think Darius might actually be more fun in my personal opinion. Welcome back. Yo, Keith, thank you. History Darius. fighters. I mean, I'm digging Warwick. I am I am I am digging Warwick. I think he's fun. It's just a colleague is going to take would would take a long time. Choose your destiny feels like a long time character, you know. I don't think she needs tuning. I don't think she's a character for me. Holy [ __ ] The lingering. Here the bird. I'm getting hit by [ __ ] I really hate that that whiffs. I don't like that that works. Okay, that's weird. That didn't work. I just realized he only has one character. LET'S GO UP HERE. Tag into that person, man. Oh man, man. Oh, man. Holy [ __ ] I feels like Akali is mad slow. Like jumping with her feels extremely shitty. And it feels like like the design of her wants me to double jump everywhere. She's the fastest, man. Maybe in maybe in one way, but not in like an actual aerial mobility. Damn, the Vegeta assist is so godlike. Knock out. Guys, what is happening? I got the hit, but it didn't work. Overhead. I don't know where I'm at. I have no clue. I've lost I've lost target, sir. Oh god, I don't know what's happening. Why is this hitting from behind her? Why do I feel like I'm getting robbed? Why is this hitting from behind her? What the [ __ ] above all the rest. Too late for regrets. Apologize. WHY? I'M HOLDING DOWN BACK. OH, WAIT. This is a six combo. Oh my god. Damn. What is happening? Is this a level three? Wow, it actually is here. Man, I'm smacking this assist and it's body blocking. Dude, where the hell were you? Got the hit and for some reason Akali decided to swing in the wrong direction. Don't like that. Don't like it. Oh, I can't cancel normals into specials. Dude, what the [ __ ] Why am I always asking these questions when I'm playing this game? I always have some weird thing. Perry doesn't work against guns. Okay. All right, bro. I just want to get people to stop swinging. It's very hard. It's very hard to get people to stop swinging. HEAR THE TRUMPETS OF VICTORY. BLAST. That was it. He left. He left. Warwick, you select. there's a lot of things that make even less sense to me in the game in its current state than it did in the previous state. Dude, like I have so many like questions. I'm like, why did that work out? The what the hell? your destination. So many like oddities like moments where I just like trying to wrap my head around what happened the ages is about to begin and it and it switched up more from before. It could be that my characters changed a bunch too. I don't know. It's not a good feeling. This one doesn't feel ready. Damn. You know it's telling when in casual matches no one's picking the new chick. He doesn't have suspended. Wow. I switched I switched sides on the ground. That's crazy. GOOD. OH, two M. Oh, that thing really sucked. Oh my god, THE PRESS THE BUTTON SIX TIMES. What the [ __ ] Six cease. Sorry. Say, I'm so pissed. I'm so pissed. I can't even count. OKAY, that was the wrong button. That's too far. Damn. They has block strings. Where's my [ __ ] assist? It's gone. damn. Her assist really do suck. Mega ass today. Oh my god. WHAT THE [ __ ] WHY IS THIS so inconsistent? What the [ __ ] Every match. What the? Okay, it's fine. Why is my I didn't have level three. I didn't have level three. I'm looking at the wrong goddamn super. I didn't have level three. War that person pieced out. Select your champions. I'm struggling, dude. I'm struggling with the buttons and I'm struggling with the characters doing anything consistently. Every time I try like a similar situation, the different thing happens. I'm struggling. I'm trying. Fear the assassin. Holy [ __ ] My normals, dude. my enormous. I hate it that you have to eat this I can't get out of it, man. I don't like that. I don't like it, sir. Cool. That button was pressed a long time ago. Cool. I think this game drives me insane. Holy [ __ ] What is happening? I think this game drives me crazy. Exactly what I wanted. Do I have to block this? Oh, it goes in the air, too. Okay. Oh, wow. Wow. Why does everything with her like lead to full combo? Like everything. Boom. Wow. I went the wrong way. I hate that that I have to hold this this gunfire. You can't jump out of it. That just locks me down from midcreen. Oh [ __ ] Yes, it certainly does. Oh, I'm taking chip damage. Um I forgot what the push block is or the reverse push block. HEAR THE TRUMPETS OF VICTORY BLAST. WIN. It's fine seeing someone who play these games go who doesn't play this game go kind of mad helps you feel like you're not crazy. What are we waiting for? Dude, I just got two H from the ground. cuz my big ass normal whift. That sucks. I don't like that this thing is missing so much. I don't like it. So, I just have to hold all of this I guess. So, holy [ __ ] brother. Holy [ __ ] Why did that? Why? Like I know what she wants to do, but countering [ __ ] is tough. Well, that sucks. Oh, it leads to full combo as well. I'm shocked. This thing doesn't cross up. Wow. I'm just going to hold a a Dragon Ball block string. NICE BLOCK. HEY, I figured out what that is. FEAR. My god, I can't get a jab. Oh my god, I almost jumped out of it. I don't think this works. [ __ ] What is this? Dude, she's off this [ __ ] screen. I cannot believe I don't have a cross up, dude. Wow. I cannot believe Down heavy is not a cross up. Oh no, dude. This move sucks. Oh wow. surprise. Oh wow. Oh my god. [ __ ] Oh Jesus. Okay. Weapon axe. Explosive performance. After you block the level three missile, you can run up and grab her before the missile explodes. I ain't going to I ain't about to try that. I ain't about to try that. All right. All right. I ain't vibing with this character. Not necessarily. Um All right. All right. I have to play something that makes sense to me after that. I have to I have to play something that makes sense to me. Um, I would, if I did come back, I would probably just stick with Darius. You know, he has a bit of consistency. That's like pretty fun. Um, she is going to take a lot of time. That's going to take a lot of time to get used to that. A lot a lot. Okay. Whoa. What happened here? Oh my god. Welcome back to the stage. yeah. Yeah. And I would have to play a lot of I would have to play a lot of 2x and I'd have to really fall in love with it, you know? I would just have to have something that I really enjoy about it, a character or some [ __ ] See, I have to change all the settings. Let me see if I can even get this working. Shadow spect. Yeah, I just didn't like Aollie very much. I don't like her combo structure. I don't like the um I don't like her normals, man. It feels like I I don't I don't I don't get it, right? Like understanding what it is is going to take a while and the trade-off is going to have to be really [ __ ] cool. And I think the stuff she's doing is kind of cool. It's sort of cool, but it isn't like, god damn, I can't wait. I I'll I'll I'll put up with this and I'll learn this character because it is so cool. Yeah, she's a lab monster character, right? So, we're going to see what's really neat with him like later. I hate Yasuo. I hate that character. Can't stand Yasawo, brother. Welcome to the world of street fight. My [ __ ] stick isn't working.

I'm just I I I've never been comfortable in 2XO except that one time we got to like Grandmaster and I just like grinded it out mostly because like I had a good reason. I had a team I really liked, you know. Run this [ __ ] We're birken. Oh. Oh, fudge. It's coming. Now fight a new rival. Welcome to the world of Street Fighter 3. Yikes. It's not invincible.

Second, let me see if I do this if it possibly catches the right frame. We see some Sean. I don't remember much. I'd have to like I'd have to play a little bit. I took the biggest break from um Third Strike that I ever had, which was like three years ever since Street Fighter 6 came out. Right. Hadn't played at all. Yes. Welcome back to the stage of history. refresh that we go. bro, there are names in here playing Third Strike that I remember from No [ __ ] a decade ago. No [ __ ] It's like these dudes just didn't stop. No stopping. They never stopped. It's just their favorite thing and they keep playing it and there's a community to play it, you know. Best [ __ ] Interesting. [ __ ] me. I didn't need to do it either, but when you try and it works, god damn, that feels good. This guy is like seven levels deep in uh in his head. Okay. All right. Feels like he was like trying to parry everything. You win. world. Hope Pikachua is doing well. Jr. We used to go to tournaments together in Street Fighter 4. We would always meet in grand finals. Okay. No. Got me. Okay, there we go. Yeah. Visaga. Uh he's uh the super good Remy player, I think. Yeah, I've been waiting for it. My [ __ ] control stopped working and went backwards. Excuse me. That's weird. Dude, weird. My controller's all Oh, I think he backed up. I think you back up. My controls like all flipped. I'm like, "Hey, what's going on?" Is the screen tearing still there, chat? No. Okay. Yeah, we just got lucky on the uh on the frame catch. God damn, dude. This game feels so good to play. It's unbelievable. Actually unbelievable how good this game feels to play. Blows my mind. Well, I got the picture. 5 4 3 2 1. Okay, if I punch her, she's really going to get hurt. The full screen slide. Oh no. Full screen slide Also not missing those anymore.

Uh, interesting. well street, my prepared for battle. Prepared to I I don't mind the new gen music. I just don't love it. Okay, I'm just getting punched. That actually just worked. We're broken. All right. Good game, F. You win, man. Ano man. Something about this [ __ ] dude. Third Strike music was hated on release. a lot of the Street Fighter 3 games were hated on release because they were so different. Didn't have any of the music, you know, Ryu's theme, Ken's theme. They were all different. So people were like not super vibing with it. Um but it was mostly New Gen and Second Impact. New Gen and Second Impact were not really accepted as being cool. Um Third Strike eventually got there, but not at like in 1999. No, it took some time. You'd argue Street Fighter 6 music was returned to Third Strike style, and people generally didn't vibe with it. Um, it is sort of like the vibe of of Street Fighter 6 is definitely the closest to Third Strike of any of them. It's definitely the closest, but is it is it exactly there? In In many ways, it is. I don't know if the music is one of them. Welcome to the street. I don't know if music's one of them, but like in in vibes and tempo and like art direction. Yeah, I think it is, man. Very much is very 3S heavy. People don't hate Street Fighter 6 music. It's just like fine. Decided to die today. Oh [ __ ] I thought I had it. What the [ __ ] I got hit again and I went for parry. The timing on that must be a little late. has to be like a couple of frames off. I'm in a rank game. [ __ ] Play that [ __ ] Nice punish. I just went for it. Fighting. Is Capcom planning to link the story line of Street Fighter? I would not worry about the story line of Street Fighter, DUDE. Capcom's got plenty of problems with Street Fighter Story right now. Spring. Spring Bean. Street Fighter's never taken its story seriously. Like that's the problem is that like we were just expecting them not to completely murder a character and they did. They chose to. It's not brave dance. That's spring bean. Good lord. Ow, that hurts. No, missing my grabs. I can do them earlier. I told him, you went for it. Can everybody That beat my [ __ ] Now find a new rival. Welcome to Street. You need to remake so remake Third Strike. I know. This game could use a whole ass remake. Just remake this [ __ ] dude. Come on. Let's just remake Third Strike now. I think she might be dead. we're broken. Prepare to strike now. Nice. Good [ __ ] Oh no, he missed. Ah, he was going he was way too far ahead of his head. He was thinking like seven steps ahead games, dude. Did I look at the strife patch yet? Yeah. I mean, it looks pretty crazy. I'm definitely definitely feeling like trying a new game. Seems like it'll be fun. Yeah, clandestine tortillas. Thank you. Sayan survive. OG Chuchu Mfrey. Uh, we want tacos. And Gilbert, thanks for the five.

I mean, I'll be honest, the the one game in that collection that's kind of worth playing is probably the X-Men one, right?

Stick with it. online is broken in the collection as well. Dispar disparaging maximum carnage. Dude, those old Marvel games are weird. doing too much. What the hell? That's not a combo.
