Kokujin (こくじん) 3rd Strike Compilation

A compilation of "highlight reel" matches by the famous Japanese 3rd strike player, Kokujin (こくじん). In keeping with his mastery of Dudley, his nickname (also affectionately known as the "Pizza Beast") roughly translates to "black person". He has been arguably the most famous, if the not the best Dudley player for more than a decade. He is the only Dudley player to make the red carpet at SBO, reaching the grand finals twice and top 4 once, and has routinely wiped out elite players in other competitive settings such as the Cooperation Cup and the Danisen ranbat series. His ability to terrorize even the toughest of opponets with mindgames, mixups, and mind-bogglingly painful combos is well documented, and he is also famous for his effusive personality and entertaining, high-energy commentary. Despite a brief retirement in 2007, he returned to the 3S world just a few months later, and has taken his play to new heights ever since.
This video is intended to be a 15 minute highlight reel, with emphasis on:
1. Full matches. Not just isolated clips or rounds.
2. A wide range of elite opponents. Not just an extended set of games against the same person, or walkovers over less talented players.
3. Tournament/competitive play, especially Tougeki/SBO. No GGPO/casuals here.

[@onion420]

best dudley world. legend.

[@toastedguy]

ah man it was over so fast

[@arindam43]

Eventually I'll get around to all of the well known 3S legends, and Kuroda is perhaps the best known of them all :) The reason I would rather hold off on someone of his stature is because there's so much high-quality footage of him out there that it'll take a REALLY long time to sift through it and settle on 15 minutes of material.
