DSP Tries It: Pro Level 3rd Strike

Basically a video of DSP's 3rd strike skills and how they match up to other well known 3rd strike players. Have any questions about the video or why I did certain things feel free to ask. Hail Kojima! Long Live KWO!
Thanks to DUDEMAN321 for making what I feel should be the new KWO anthem. This is the most editing I have ever done for a video so far! Thanks for everyone that made this video possible and your credit will be in the sources below.
The sources of my footage. I will try and upload the few parts that might be useful for people who want to make DSP videos later.

Hearing DSP complain about a super that didn't come out when he didn't have enough meter made me sigh.

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

It's one thing to do the motion and think wtf why didn't it work, Only to look at the meters and scold yourself for being absent minded and.

[@Mike.325]

Facts bro

[@CasualVideoGamer]

I like that Maximilian dude. He seems like he doesn't take the game too seriously, competitively yeah, but not so seriously that he cries about it when he loses or brags about it when he wins. I like people that play like that.

[@FreddyChoppins]

Maximillian Dood is one of my favorite fighting game players. Dude is an amazing sport. I don't think I've ever seen him badmouth another player, even when they actually do suck. He's the polar opposite of DSP.

[@MegaTaunTaun93]

Frédéric Chopin Max retaliates against assholes who deserve it by beating them in a perfect, or near perfect match. And even then he shrugs off people talking shit to him on mic. He is an amazingly talented, and courteous player.

[@CasualVideoGamer]

Yeah I've already subscribed to him. It's been so long since I've heard someone ENJOYING themselves with video games. Too many people are just doing it for the money now. It's really refreshing.

[@MegaTaunTaun93]

Torankusu Briefs You should take a gander at Two Best Friends Play on their channel TheSw1tcher if you haven't already. They do playthroughs of games they enjoy, and hate, or interested in for the sake of our entertainment, its just a bonus for them that they have a crap-ton of fans that make them a ton of money. They are also the guys who introduced me to Max's channel.

[@benleighton9013]

Torankusu Briefs i subed to max and he builds hype but phil builds anti hype

[@Gloin1994]

He's so disrespectful towards the people he wins against. Not to mention he's horrible. Pro fighting game player my ass.

[@SefirothPH]

Backdashes and gets hit with a projectile "I parried but whatever!"

[@lGummyWorml]

"To think that I, Raoh, had any tears left for this sort of shitty play!"

[@SefirothPH]

"IN THE LIFE I HAVE LEAD, WATCHING THIS IS MY ONLY REGRET"

[@lGummyWorml]

Sephitard9001 "Raoh! How will you use Hokuto Shinken?" *Points at computer* "To make even DSP bow down before my fists!"

[@StrifeSoul990]

The worst thing about this, is that Phil doesn't have any class. He ridicules other players for making mistakes, or because of their gamertag or what have you. When I play fighting games, I always give credit to every player, weather they beat me or not.

[@broogul7335]

Ridicule mistakes. "Lag" when he makes one. DSP logic.

[@pastorofmuppets9346]

Seeing gootecks now hits different

[@UltimateDarknezz999]

I just wanted to remind everyone that this video was made to show that DSP is NOT a PRO player (or even former pro like the people I compared him to). I understand there are probably worse players than DSP, but that's not the point. DSP constantly says he was some pro Street Fighter player back in the day. In the beginning of the video I show how he obviously believes he was pretty recognizable back in the day. This simply was to show that he is not some super great player and is extremely overconfident in his skills. Anyone who has seen his other footage in fighting games knows what I'm talking about. This was just another piece of the puzzle I contributed to that makes me believe he never was some amazing SF player, even in Super Turbo. Don't you think it's a little strange we NEVER see DSP play Super Turbo now? Not even once in a blue moon?

[@kpeters909]

I applaud you for caring THAT much about his skill.

[@JiiElGL]

i'll say he is pretty elite in ST, i've seen enough video evidence of that. but in these other SF games he is average

[@StrifeSoul990]

Jii-El Meh, he played a broken port of ST at EVO and if you actually watch him play ST on Xbox, he's pretty mediocre

[@JiiElGL]

StrifeSoul990 Depends on what you consider mediocre, I recall watching him doing the SBO Qualifers in Nashville sometime back facing Damdai (of all people -_-) in the Grand Finals. I personally felt he did pretty well in that Matchup.

[@Cozy90X]

UltimateDarknezz999 I'm worse than him at SF but i can clearly see what hes doing and its not very impressive at all. Just hearing any of his self serving commentary just immediately makes me wonder how he has a job from all this. People really like him?

[@Cpointman417]

Actually, his commentary seems more suited to a COD video than anything

[@goldensoul1842]

I bet if he had to fight a punching bag he'd lose.

[@sonichashackedyou21]

What the fuck. He literally lets himself get hit by an Aegis Reflector every time someone uses it on him

[@ForeRunnerODST]

Gootecks acknowledges the lag yet says nothing, a true samaritan in comparison to DSP who yells about lag in every match

[@saltyginger3481]

also that was obvious lag compared to when dsp whines the game looks like its running fine usually

[@RandomDrugDealer]

24:53 "My super didn't come out!!!" *looks at meter* 0/2 Bars filled. DSP = Blind As FUCK!!!

[@foof811]

Bobatemycake you should see him play driving games. He really needs glasses

[@Mike.325]

Fr

[@pimpsonparade]

See, I can understand someone making mistakes like that once in a while. Even if you know a game like the back of your hand, it happens to the best of us, right? DSP does shit like this all the damn time, which is inexcusable for a guy who loves to bring up his sham of an EVO finish that happened years and years ago.

[@DamienBlade]

12:58 "Who do you think you are, homie?" Then proceeds to parry everything and beat his opponent. So satisfying to watch.

[@RyuGoomba]

KOJIMA KOJIMA KOJIMA.

[@SuicidalBuu]

How does DSP have fans

[@UltimateDarknezz999]

DSP attracts others of his level of intellect. Honestly intellect is too good of a word to describe DSP's brain capacity.

[@Damnyoumongowians]

This guy looks about 40 and acts like he's 13.

[@catfriend788]

Max seems to have a really nice attitude, what a guy.

[@BaleshNTP]

"I choosed..." are you serious, man?

[@iexplorer]

I don't know much about gooteks, but when juxtaposed against DSP he seems like a totally reasonable, respectable person with a decent amount of skill. He's a lot more subdued. DSP is just an intolerable wasteland of conceit.

[@RellySmoove]

That Mr.GameandWatch Q was good man. I have a friend that uses Q as his main. This is motivating.

[@Riderbooker]

Pfft... Of course he'd only play Ken competitively. Spoken like a true scrub.

[@UltimateDarknezz999]

I know right, he would pick Ken. Also, hey fellow SG player!

[@UltimateDarknezz999]

Chris Bullock I have no problem with Ken so much as people who just pick him for being high tier when they don't even play hardcore like that. Also, Max seems to be the type of person to play Ken regardless based on stuff he said about the char in the past.

[@roosh410]

UltimateDarknezz999 Agreed. Max has been hyping on Ken in Ultra a lot recently and hopefully he might pick up Ultra since he isnt so hot on AE or 2012

[@WraysCustoms]

What's wrong with picking Ken? Logically, most competitive players are gonna pick from the top characters. With that said, DSP uses the character as a crutch instead of a legitimate main, and that's no good.

[@Life_And_Things777]

3rd strike ken isn't a scrub ken. it takes skill to play 3rd strike ken.

[@Rohtix]

That Q JR fought around 21:10 was one of the dopest Qs Ive seen. Love that match

[@Lssj100]

I like blue Akuma, especially since it changes the aura along with it

[@BstandardDan]

that akuma q fight was insane!

[@alpacinoisking123]

I think I finally figured out why people watch DSP videos. We are all caught in the "Train Wreck Effect". For those who don't know, it's when you watch something, or in this case someone, so bad, that you can't look away. Even if I'm wrong, people can admit it's a solid theory lulz.

[@mcFreaki]

DSP is not as good as he thinks he is- like... not once did he say "okay i made a mistake there, i fucked up", he was always blaming everything except for himself. like, his parry timings were off (all the parries he made i could make and i'm only just starting to seriously try to get good), his move inputs were incorrect (like, those moves would have come out if he had done it right)... dang i mean... if DSP even made it to the tournaments, he was surely the equivalent of Dan Hibiki- talking himself up, getting beaten like a bitch.

[@StrifeSoul990]

He also seems to think a yellow connection is awful. In ggpo, it's about the stability of the connection, not the ping. Like I play with about 200 ping, and there's rarely any lag.

[@MonkeyManPrime64]

Dat Q VS. Akuma fight.....

[@djselectsquare7085]

the ending was magical. i cried. big ass manly tears. i'm not even ashamed to tell you that.

[@MonkeyManPrime64]

Me and you both man.

[@rafiqul84]

that.. needed to be its own video

[@MonkeyManPrime64]

***** I know right? It was pretty cool.

[@Superluigi881]

It felt like they were evenly matched throughout the whole fight. Definitely a sight to behold.

[@FINSuojeluskunta]

I loved watching that Chun yawner and Ken taunter get spanked.

[@moRULEZ18981]

Honestly yeah, even if it was DSP fighting and beating that Chun, it was still satisfying to see lol

[@SirCaco]

"Makado" rofl I've heard people butcher Ryu's name, but "Makado" for Makoto is a new one.

[@danielrose7973]

Well it's good to see that there's one game that came out after 1992 that DSP isn't a scrub at, good for him.

[@SirJeeble]

that fucking laugh

[@Gggmanlives]

I guess if someone ragequits you lose XP/points etc?

[@Fallconn2]

They lose points for rage quitting

[@c0nk2879]

DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE! LOL AWESOME CHANNEL MAN!

[@ThatOneBlack]

"I choosed 3rd strike"

[@Slappaccino]

as much as I absolutely despise dsp, his personality isn't too much worse than most of the fgc. that's why I prefer watching dsp rage on dark souls and bloodborne. I can't wait for tihydp dark souls 3. he may finally have that aneurysm he's been shooting for.

[@-huracan-8444]

Smelter demon raped him

[@Slappaccino]

Chizupan dude watch him try to kill ludwig on bloodborne lol. 3 hour rage quit.

[@ajunaibi99]

Half a bar of super and he says : "the super didn't come out."

[@brendan1871]

I do have the strange feeling to back up Phil on the subject of "Aegis Reflector Bullshit", but that is it really.

[@MrHayabusaSan]

What was up with the random video of that guy fighting against the Akuma player?

[@doublevendetta]

Wow, I can't believe it, but at least once, DSP actually gave someone a slight amount of respect for a win. Didn't think that was possible.

[@NathanWubs]

He does that once in a while, when he think he looked spectacular.

[@supershadic135]

Could Maxmillian be the next Daigo? 34:12

[@CyberSlayer128]

He's the only person who I root against. Phil succeeds in being both a sore loser and a sore winner.

[@DravenWolfe]

Yeah, When he is winning he complains, when he is losing he complains, and of course when he loses the other guy somehow is the one who sucks. "I lost to a bad player who sucks," .... I'm still trying to figure out the logic in that.

[@Rory695]

that hugo vs chun was really good

[@thunderbuddyted993]

i don't like how he always waits for the other player to choose their character before he makes his own selection. it kind of seems cheap because it sounds like he knows the counter picks. ( i could be full of it having never really played a street fighter game)

[@TheSp0rki]

The old cross videos are making me nostalgic, goddamn where has the time gone.

[@SpikeRose]

Nice to see matches mixed in from Maximillian and Gootecks. It gives a nice compare/contrast.

[@GrassSaint33]

So when someone's super doesn't come out it's because they are bad, but when DSP's moves don't work it's because of net code? Does he not see how crazy that sounds?

[@tcelesbhsup]

He just doesn't like to admit that his execution is piss poor!

[@alchemykillr]

Did anyone else notice the second match with "The A Drain" at the very start "I already beat this guy, but let's go" and it's the Yang player lawl. And then proceeds to get beat again.

[@ThatDogBomber]

Why was Gootecks in there?

[@Malumbrus]

*DISGUSTIG BURP* OH ma gad.. DumpsterMonkey pff ff ff ff ff *snort* How obnoxious and disgusting can a person be?

[@jazzygeofferz]

He's playing against opponents 10 levels lower than him and then boasting when he beats them. Also, he doesn't have enough meter for a super, the complains when the super doesn't come out? How very "professional"...

[@BlackoutDC]

"He's terrible and he's gonna beat me" *does only target combo with Ken*

[@codypriceYouTubeAddednumbers]

he's always so happy when he wins, its like he never wins.

[@SpaceDragonX783]

This makes me want to go play third strike now? People still play right?

[@isbilen1000]

is it normal that I feel physical pain, watching DSP play, or is it just me?

[@Lssj100]

Sooo where would I find DSP's ACTUAL channel, because I see his videos all the time, but its always a different person posting them...

[@KingKobo13]

Gonna be honest here: I thought the comparing to other streamers was gonna lead to him fighting at least one of them.

[@spornineteenninetynine4718]

15:32 What a chicken and a dolphin crossed would sound like

[@fatname6809]

DSP turns into a sea lion at 16:15

[@ValugaTheLord]

Can someone explain his "no super" ? Is there something he is missing or is he just bad at inputs?

[@iexplorer]

His meter wasn't full enough, but judging by how often he has "random shit come out" I would guess he's not that great at inputs either. Unless you're talking about the Ken part. That looked like bad inputs. He may have buffered it incorrectly.

[@CandyCosmic]

Even on Ken, his self-proclaimed best character he drops combos, uses the wrong move unintentionally on occaison, and compared to close fights between high level players like the one between Pikachuakuma and Game and Watch there's a lot less focus on good positioning and mindgames. A lot of fights were just Phil and his opponent scrambling to their feet to get in their moves, often doing the same move repeatedly. Some of his even weaker opponents just didn't know the appropriate response to certain moves at all and would get chain throwed and so on.

[@TheBaioken]

I NEED someone to give me the link to the song the guy sings to that MGS theme, so desperately!

[@narutofan4545]

What was the point of the guy on 7:41

[@lemonlimecitrus]

spending this much time and effort on hating a person that makes youtube videos can't be healthy

[@moRULEZ18981]

Man, coming back to this vid after all these years, Phil really has gotten WORSE somehow.

[@Lucario4thewin]

When he laughs, it sounds like a turkey gobbling. lol

[@Deus35]

"This guy wasn't even good!" Well, he beat you. So what's that make you, DSP? Lol.

[@SpeedReider]

Holy shit, he's like the entire cast of the show Scrubs in one human being. Scrub to the 54th power.

[@youngcnyce]

Dsp sounds like he hasnt hit puberty yet.

[@Ri3mannZeta]

He has no idea what a juggle is - waking up into an active aegis reflector isn't a 'juggle'

[@GillisonsIsland]

why does he laugh like rick james dave chappelle I'm concerned

[@lydellb]

"gotcha bitch!!" lol

[@ShadowBaofu]

Mashing when you're in an Aegis Reflector trap? Only from DSP.

[@xoxxo236]

24:56 umm Phil, your meter bar wasn't charged for the super.

[@Alphacarmine72]

Where can I find the video where Phil introduces himself?

[@Alphacarmine72]

In the beginning here

[@y4wnd3r3]

I saw him pick SA1 Urien and stopped watching right then and there

[@saltyxpyro]

need to learn the Crush cancel to Slaughter super. I'll definitely look for you buddy. I need the comp

[@mauriceh7558]

3rd strike is sf3? i never knew about untill a few days ago was the game succesfull in usa and asia? im from europe never really heard about or seen the game,. i know sf 1, 2, 4 obviously 5

[@straightMKchamp]

3rd strike is the third iteration of street fighter 3 and is considered one of the, if not the, best fighting game ever. It was mostly just arcade except for a dreamcast port which was considered really good. Game was considered pretty popular and is still played quite a bit today.

[@NeoRidero]

But why is this game considered better than for exemple Street Fighter 4 ..?

[@straightMKchamp]

It has the parry system which is high risk, high reward (it rewards dedication to getting great at the game) 3 supers you can choose from to better match your opponent's character, probably the best roster in terms of diversity (for SF). It's also generally hype because the soundtrack and visuals are great.

[@NeoRidero]

ah I get it

[@Gav8979]

haha, props you've actually showed footage that I actually enjoyed of DSP, the first match. no complaining, he actually did well. To address the purpose of the video, you've made your point. Even though he did good in that first match he lacked variety that the other guy gooteks possessed.

[@Gav8979]

Also he's a sore player, winning or losing.

[@nchemi5135]

capcom should take street fighter back to this

[@elliotterodriguez]

Lol give it a few more years you probably never played SF5 or dropped it. All things die out eventually

[@reecey54]

How long can you say "I didn't do that" before you realize that in fact, you did do that.

[@WolfHeartExo21]

I love Gootecks.

[@0xsuperman]

How can you play Street Fighter 3 online? On which console or PC?

[@riewo]

its on consoles ps3 and Xbox 360 only but you play fightcade for netplay tho

[@Solipsismreal]

Tbh, buffering supers in sf3 is a pain in the ass(imo) but if he's a pro he should be able to do it consistently lol.

[@Fuji808]

Does DSP not know that taunts buff characters in 3S?

[@johncowart9536]

Guys, I'm pretty sure DSP is the best fighting game player ever. I mean, he only ever loses because random shit that never happens to anyone else, happens to him. I mean, have you watch him play live...his stick just starts doing moves all by itself. No one has actually "earned" a win against this guy. So how about we stop the hate and admit that this guy's skills are just the best...life is just really unfair to him, so we don't get to see it

[@THECOHORTONE]

"My moves wont come out!" What does that even mean?

[@PipScotland]

If DSP wasn't recording he'd prob be the type to send hate messages after every loss.

[@takatsukikum]

Being pro is not only about knowing how to win, is also and mainly know to lose and learn.

[@Shadowtheheartbroken]

That said I hate losing more than I love winning. So yes I'll get fucking pissed. But at myself for doing stupid shit like getting greedy or turtling myself into a bad situation etc.

[@bluewolf8873]

19:49 OE was sick! Such a good version of the game! That music!

[@ramzarugliabeoulve]

Where is the "humility in defeat" clause, come on now.

[@pseudomac]

You know, I have to thank DSP. Its come full circle. I seriously enjoy him making an ass out of himself. Like it puts me in a better mood to watch these montages. And I have to thank Phil for that ;_;

[@ghn00b]

DSP can hit the tackles so much better than me. I'm just gonna commit Sudoku

[@neontetra1000]

Y the f is 3rd strike not on my handhelds!?.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Why is Gootecks so bloody disrespectful of that Akuma player in 3rd Strike and rolling his eyes at him. Gootecks played like a damn scrub and acts like he's some sort of top tier player or something? No real pressure, no attempt at raw skill or anything. Even if he won that matchup online he has nothing to truly brag about seeing as that was really a crap win anyhow. He might be a better player than DSP but he's kinda of a scrub at 3rd Strike Online himself really and truly!

[@khanman9146]

+MGSBigBoss77 The Akuma player was an ass and dash boarded when Goontecks beat him. This is why Goontecks blocked him and gave him a bad review.

[@hacksignify]

uhhhhh...what exactly did this prove?

[@fodolocraigo8426]

Wtf is Kojima world order lmao

[@shunthanos]

Damn, Gootecks ballin' on the Ken.

[@nellen55]

phill lol my super did not come out, he said that when he only had 50 meter

[@MrMarfsthotarmy]

Phil's isn't bad but I cannot see him being anywhere near the #rd strike pros. His playing reminds me of some of the people I've beaten online in 3rd strike which makes him just look like an average player.

[@SetPhasersToFabulous]

Watching DSP play Ken is just.... Painful.

[@zedahmad2751]

lol "if super came out I would have won the match" the guy had no meter....

[@TifaLuva]

My goodness that first match with chun li was hard to watch.....
