Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is the second follow-up to Street Fighter III. The game increased the character roster by adding five new characters and also added further refinements to the previous game's play mechanics and rules. All the returning characters from the previous Street Fighter III games were given new stages, endings, and voice actors for certain characters, continuing the overall storyline from where the first two games left off.

What is Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike about?

3rd Strike tells the story of what happened after the events of Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact and the conclusion of the Third World Warrior Tournament (fourth, retroactively). Among the battles that occured during this time: Alex vs. Ryu - Ryu encounters and defeats Alex comprehensively, leading Alex to become obsessed with fighting Ryu again and becoming a better fighter. Ryu vs. Ken - The two friends face off once more and Ryu again narrowly defeats Ken, lauding him as his worthiest opponent. Chun-Li vs. Urien - Chun-Li demands the return of a kidnapped child and Urien agrees to comply if Chun-Li can provide an entertaining match. The victor is unknown, although it is implied Chun-Li won, as the child is returned. Necro vs. Twelve - Upon learning the Necro and his female companion, Effie, survived the events of 2nd Impact, Necro's successor, Twelve, is ordered by either Gill or Urien to hunt down and exterminate them. While the official outcome of this battle is unknown, Necro's ending reveals that he and Effie likely survived the encounter. Twelve, in the meantime, is returned to Dr. Woo's lab to recuperate, and it is hinted that he has gained sentience, as his hollow eyes gain red irises. Akuma vs. Oro - Both have fought each other after an encounter, but declared to cease combat as there was no clear winner and both believed that a mutual death would occur had they continued.

Should I stream Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike on Twitch?

4/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 93% of the 14 people watching Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike in English, leaving about 1 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 1 of the 14 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 1 other English stream below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #1.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 3 people are streaming Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, and the two biggest English streams hold 93% of the 14 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
