People still go to arcades? lol.

Don't remember seeing an arcade machine over here newer than 5 years old.

Hmmm.... walks like a duck.... talks like a duck.... is a chicken?

Come on Capcom - make sure the glitches and Infinites are ironed out before the home release. Having a single [Infinite?] Combo that obliterates your opponent from the start of the round till the end is not good enough. Balance that shit out foos!

Er yes it is an infinite combo given that repeating it will ALWAYS result in a win. It's capcoms own fault as the combo always causes a stun, which always results in the ability to continue the combo ad infinitum!

Hmmm... having watched the vid properly... I take my previous statement back... it's not a full on Infinite, there are points of escape - but it is a pretty lame "Guile-tick-glitch".

Bring back Parrying, and none of this is a problem.

The first part of the combo is simply to cause the stun effect. Once the third punch hits your character is stunned and then from that moment on it's a repeatable hit combo with zero...i repeat zero ability to get out of it before you die.

At 0:24 Fuerte breaks the combo.... I'm not sure that was on purpose - he does a down-medium before doing his special move to finish the round off.... Akuma could've blockedthe special/or the down-medium...possibly...

God I'm such a SF geek.
Anyway, orregardless, that Elbow overkill move shouldn't be there. SF3 got rid of bollocks like that, irregardless of whether it was a combo or not - the maximum number of times you could repeat a 'normal' move on a player and make it hit unblockably in a combo is 3 times. Even Chun-li's lightening kick has a repel effect, and Ryus Ex-Shinku-Tatsumaki hit for about 5 hits before a knockdown.

Shit,t he only normal move, unblockable I can think of in SF3 would be Gills/Urien's down-medium spam - and even then it was only 3 hits, if the last hit was a fierce kick.

(Oh wait, I forgot the Yun/Yang brothers.... but even their moves have to be interchanged... you can't spam with them).

ah, let El Fueto keep his trick, it would make a change from all those wankers who never play anything but the shoto bumwipes.

(though having said that i would start throwing chairs around if it happened to me... -_-)
