The Best of Sako Street Fighter IV Compilation

JettLeave a comment

I have no shortage of idols when it comes to Street Fighter IV. However, when it comes to choosing my favourite Street Fighter IV player, that honour belongs to Sako. Thanks to his creativity, extremely offensive approach and his masterful execution, Sako is arguably the most exciting player to watch. I never get bored of watching Sako destroy his opponents in the most creative and technically challenging ways imaginable. I’d go as far as saying that watching Sako play as Cammy and Rose is the reason why I use them as my two main characters today.

Thanks to YouTube user AnomuraSe, you can now get the Coles notes video of why Sako rocks. This 20-minute Best of Sako video has some of the most incredible displays of offensive firepower ever caught on tape. Click through to watch the video! Also, let me know what you think of it in the comments!

Jett vs. AceUnlimited, the #1 Ranked Guy Player on PSN Street Fighter IV

JettLeave a comment

Me reaching #1 for Rose and Cammy in my country is pretty impressive. Reaching #1 in the world? Slow-clap worthy. In the thousands of online Street Fighter IV matches I’ve played over the years, I’ve never run into a #1 ranked player until recently.

AceUnlimited is the #1 ranked Guy on PSN. I ran into him in ranked match and we fought each other a number of times that night. Enclosed in this post is the entirety of our set. I’ve taken out some giants in my day, but did I bite off more than I could chew on this one? Click through to find out!

Coming Soon – Valentine’s Day Massacre Jett vs. Steff in Deadliest Warrior: Legends

JettLeave a comment

Last year on In Third Person, Steff and I celebrated Valentine’s Day with a cute post where she recommended games that are great for couples to play together. This year, we took the next logical step. On February 14, 2012, Steff and I will be battling to the death in Deadliest Warrior: Legends, because nothing is more romantic than William Wallace severing your limbs with a giant sword. You can watch the blood, sweat and saltiness right here on In Third Person!

Early Impressions of Ico

JettLeave a comment

One of the last EGM issues I ever bought was the issue when Ico was declared game of the month. They wrote about it as if it was a game that came out of nowhere and won them over in a big way. Based on what I read at the time, I thought the game wouldn’t be interested in. Even if I were interested at the time, I was a devout Nintendo fanboy, so going out of my way to play Ico on the PlayStation 2 just wasn’t an option.

Years have passed, console allegiances have dissolved and interest has piqued, which is why I find myself writing about my time playing Ico from the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection. 10+ years later, is Ico still a game worth playing?

Activision Announces Skylanders Giants

JettLeave a comment


Though the game is but a few months old and the toys are incredibly difficult to find, Activision felt that yesterday was the perfect day to reveal the sequel to Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. Titled Skylanders Giants, this full-blown sequel will feature new levels, compatibility with all of your current figures and of course, all-new figures for you to buy. In particular, the inclusion of 8 “giant” figures that are twice the size of regular Skylanders in the game and in real life strikes me as an interesting addition.

Hey Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors, Play Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Jett2 Comments

Just a friendly reminder from In Third Person to Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors to remember that Nintendo gave you a free copy of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. If you haven’t played it yet, please do. The Fire Emblem franchise is one of the best turn-based strategy RPG series out there and The Sacred Stones is proof of the series’ awesomeness. I came into the Fire Emblem series as a gamer who wasn’t even a fan of the genre, and this is one of the games that turned me into a huge Fire Emblem fanboy.

So what are you waiting for? You already have it sitting on your 3DS. Do yourself a favour and play Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones if you haven’t booted it up yet. You’ll thank me later.

Jett vs. TS Sabin (Arturo Sanchez) in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Version 2012

JettLeave a comment

Arturo Sanchez is widely recognized as one of the top Street Fighter IV and Mortal Kombat players in North America. He’s won and placed high in many major tournaments and he also famously beat Daigo in a first-to-five money match back in 2009 during a time when people thought Daigo was invincible. I’ve been a fan of his Dhalsim and Rose pretty much since I first started watching fighting game streams and videos in 2009.

To my surprise, I ran into him on XBOX Live and did not hesitate to match up with him. Idol worship aside, I kind of had a chip on my shoulder going in. He was commentating my match against Chi Rithy at T12, and though I deserved it, I was a bit salty at how badly he clowned me on the stream. Though the deck was heavily stacked against me, did I manage to get in at least a little bit of revenge on TS Sabin?

Are you ready for some football?

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not much of a football fan, but I make time every year to watch the big game. This year, I’ll be watching the game from Steff’s place, as she and her sister are hosting a Super Bowl party. I’m looking forward to spending time with good company while watching the New York Giants pummel the New England Patriots*.

Welcome back to Jett Vs., the series of blog posts where I analyze some of my fighting game matches for your entertainment. You may learn a thing or two from my match analysis as well, though I don’t claim to be an expert in anything.

In this post, my Rose takes on MOMOHUBBY‘s Ken, who was the 29th highest ranked Ken in the world on XBOX Live when we played each other. Do I stand a chance against high quality competition?
