Remembered I have a Bluesky account. Here's some weird tech you can do with Elena in #3rdStrike ! The pushbox on her Lynx Tail special retracts REALLY far back on frame 1 (44 pixels!), so you can use it almost like a dodge and fall out of combos on purpose. Pretty funky stuff! ᕙ(:▼‸▼: )ᕗ

Made a playlist to listen to every time I drop a hit confirm in 3rd Strike. Or lose. Or just play the game ever, really 🎸🎶

Had fun this weekend at the Atomic Buster tournament in Lille, France! The 10th and final event of my offline world tour this year. Got 5th in ST, and grinded a shitload of SoulCalibur 2 casuals! Forgot to actually take any pictures though, so here's Q + Twelve at the Lille Christmas fair (´∀ ` )

Flying Barcelona is over! A fun-filled weekend of fantastic Super Turbo action. Nothing beats the camaraderie of offline fighting games! Managed to beat my tournament nemesis (a certain Claw...) in both Solo & Teams, AND single-handedly carried my team to 4th! Next stop: Lille, France! ᕙ(:▼‸▼: )ᕗ

I was asked the other day by @thaumy.bsky.social what techniques I use to make my #3rdStrike Birthday Cards. So here's a quick 1-minute tutorial I whipped up on how to make cool 3D effects with 2D sprites!* (**Note: specifically in DaVinci Resolve. But I imagine most editors have similar features!)

Back on the #3rdStrike #tech grind. One of Chun's biggest threats on wakeup is her close HK. 4F startup, and cancellable into super, it's a powerful counterplay to throw attempts. I discovered that, with good spacing, it completely whiffs on crouching Q. Here's some stuff you can do with it! (1/3)👇

Welp, I was supposed to be in Lyon this weekend for The Mixup, but my flight got cancelled because of an air traffic control strike. On a positive note, I really needed a break anyway. So thankfully, I've now got 5 peaceful and productive days ahead of me to work on some animation (´◡` ) #3rdStrike

Even more Remy charge partition nonsense. It's possible to react to whether a meaty low LOV hits or is blocked, and complete your charge partition accordingly. Either to complete the charge and hit confirm into a flash kick, or walk forward a bit and perform a frametrap with sMK. #Play3rdStrike

Vile Island / BrianM_3rd @ YT @brianm3rd.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Havin' fun with Remy. In particular, looking into charge partition setups that let you HIT CONFIRM flash kick off of his clMK! (+5 cr. hit) Close MK is his biggest confirm threat with super, but without meter his damage output is pretty ass. Trying to fix that problem! #Play3rdStrike #ItsAGoodGame

Don't usually post this kind of thing, but... Are you kidding me...? Read the text. A kids book. About a team of "alien" hunters who bust into their homes while they sleep, point NOT GUNS! at them, load them into vans to haul them off to a "secret island". Not even trying to be subtle. Sickening.

Honestly, I found it via one of your posts on here thanking people for sharing the video. My partner reintroduced me to 3S several moons ago, I like watching videos about it and trying what I see (even if I'm not good at it 😅). So no worries, it definitely made it to its intended audience.
