[@Dasaltwarrior]

Hayao had a very specific gameplan that we academically call "playing out of your fucking mind"

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Scientists refer to this playstyle as "and what the fuck are you gonna do about it huh"

[@leovanilla6833]

In ancient texts this is dubbed "Fucketh around, findeth out"

[@yean4573]

In french, this is referred to as 'mess around in the sea and the seals will eat you.'

[@ElChocoLocoDeLaVega]

13:00 JWong screaming "OH MY GOD NO NO" like he had PTSD made that insane moment event better 😂

[@patrickoakley7890]

😂😂😂😂 that's EXACTLY what was happening

[@overdose0074]

Brilliant!

[@arvinsim]

"Serves you right, Ken!" - Justin

[@xXthebadangel]

Ya either the one doing it or it's getting done to ya -Ken Masters

13:00 EVO Moment 38 You had to be there

If y'all want some buildup to that, rewind to 12:45 lol

The Hayao Parry

[@hiddensanchez9876]

I WAS THERE AKATSUKI BLITZKAMPF COSPLAYER

[@tobiib.8493]

I WAS THERE LIKE MY COMMENT AND ILL BE BACK AFTER 20 years

[@SquidJoe]

I was there man... I literally cried out of happiness.

[@COOLRadioCC]

This man hit a daigo parry, on a Ken player, with Justin Wong sitting on commentary calling the match, and this all happening 20 years after evo moment 37… you can’t make this up. This was an instant classic! And the fact that 3rd strike is still getting this kind of love shows how timeless of a fighting game it truly is.

[@omegaweapon116]

I think there's a few fighting games that will never die: Super SF2 Turbo, Third Strike, SF Alpha 2 and 3, Samurai Showdown 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2.... So many good fighting games in that era

[@murfkoa00]

And it was on Hugo's stage....

[@Darklink1017]

Third strike will never die.

[@peregrinecovington4138]

Third Strike forever!!!

[@baileyayyy5085]

thats... thats not a diago parry lol

[@SquidJoe]

All I can say is... I WAS THERE🔥🔥🔥

[@Daywalker78]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid we still here 😍

[@marchdog9547]

This was my first ever EVO, this was the first set I ever saw on the main stage. I was hugging complete strangers like we’d just seen a baby be saved from a river😂 absolutely insane

[@Shlankyman545]

Totally makes sense, I’ve done similar things when hype shit was going on in bracket.

[@nicolaselhani]

HAYAO AUTOMATIC LEGEND 🔥

[@SquidJoe]

He's the People's Champion

[@shwiegnutt]

Hes been a legend...

[@Faradars1]

He looks like a mental issue Is he autist?

[@AzpecTProductionz]

He’s been around 20+ Years. That man is 41 years old

[@ericklugo3051]

He was already but this just make him God's father 😮

[@Gimmie_Da_Loot]

“I don’t like how he picked the white color though” and “I think he did it for you” while the match just started is crazy in retrospect.

[@Space_Lion]

HOLY SHIT LOL

[@zazenwind]

[@rob_i208]

One of the most insane matches 1:38 Hayao Dashing 720 1:50 Justin foreshadowning the final moment 3:36 HAYAO PARRIES CROSSUP TATSU INTO 720! 4:32 Hayao air parries Frankie's jump punish and tries to 720, but Frankie stuffs with SRK. 4:55 Hayao jumps over Ex fireball for the round win 6:32 Frankie uses overhead to confirm to super. 6:42 Frankie air parries Hayao's jump in then uses EX Tatsu to get out of the corner. 8:05 Hayao staring down chat 9:30 Hayao reacts to Frankie's jump tatsu, but misses the parries 9:34 Hayao Second dashing 720 9:50 Hayao Splits 11:10 Frankie dash under hit confirm to super 11:15 Hayao crouch short buffered 720 11:22 Hayao got hops 11:45 Frankie parries slap then hit confirm into super 11:55 Frankie jumps over slap to Ex tatsu 12:25 Frankie air parries but Hayao converts to backbreaker 12:34 Hayao air parries Frankies jab check on crossup 12:40 Hayao misses second crouching short buffered 720, but gets SPD 12:50 I think Hayao is going for dashing 720 again, but eats hitconfirm into super. Opposite of 9:34. 12:55 Hayao Air parries Ex cross up tatsu 13:03 HAYAO PREDICTS KEN SA AND PRESSES STAND ROUNDHOUSE TO DODGE! Hayao is a legend

[@drwalka10]

Legendary breakdown Thanks

[@moeshojo]

thank you for educating the masses of all this insane execution

[@lordtikidecancer]

13:11 El público es tocado por las manos de un dios

[@Oh-Ben]

He didn't just predict Kens SA, it would cover his SA, wake up DP or any EX move. It was still a prediction but it covered every panic option a Ken would try.

[@Hazy_91]

Best comment ever holy shit lol

[@idk72.]

12:58 getting to watch this moment live made up for the hour long wait, god I love fighting games

[@poblanopupp9966]

That delay was brutal. And the capture quality went to shit as well. The gameplay made up for it tho

[@DavidLe-i9e]

The splits! The pop off! The dodge! What a legend!

[@reloserfgc]

Im 39 years old , almost the same age of Hayao, i used to play FGs since i was a child (arcades sf2 in 1993) and now im just spectating how beautiful fighting games are... and this , this is beautiful for me. So beautiful that i needed to watch it and rewatching and then start crying , because i feel the game, like if it is love. I never cried for a person to be honest , but here i am , crying for a moment in a video game. I want to go back and live all that again , im living that through this video. Im having some health issues right now, but this give me hope i can go back and play , like some people used to watch evo moment #37 to start playing FGs , this moment right here is now my new inspiration to fight again!

[@Ulexcool]

Its beautiful brother, this is the spirt. I hope you get well soon 💪

[@adr916sac]

Take care. Awesome profile pic, Q rocks.

[@Touya82TT]

I hear you brother. Here's to your health. See you on the battlefield.

[@aspreedacore]

these godlike fg players are like michio with math and science, it seems so beautiful and awesome to look at and to see what you can do with it but then the knowledge and grinding is a turn off.

[@alansendiawan9615]

Hope things get better for you bruv

[@reviewspiteras]

Hayao won the tournament, that kind of energy wins you the best of the best even if you don't win

[@azgazr8]

I need the interview pronto with that guy. Dude is a legend

[@DylanYoshi]

Daigo didn't win EVO 2004, yet he's the one everyone remembers from that tournament thanks to Moment 37. This is no different.

[@islandboy9381]

Hayao didn't win the tournament but he won being the sickest and that is just as huge

[@gushdebush5016]

Hayao striking the Jojo pose in the thumbnail, amazing. He made a lot of fans tonight.

[@marpj6138]

@@shoahkhan5670 That is damn wrong. 3rd Strike survives because it is an amazing game but its important to remember it was a failure at release (mostly due to New Generation and 2nd Impact giving it a bad name before release). Pros keep it alive until SFIV release save the whole genre. So if anything its thanks for its successor be so damn good that it was able to still be relevant.

[@ShaunInce123]

History was made during this set of SF3 Third Strike.

[@ProbablyDrunk666]

it's the cleanest set of 3rd Strike ever played.

i love justin as commentary

Especially the PTSD "Oh god no no" in the final air parry XD

One of the best Third Strike sets I've seen. Let's go Hayao!

[@syukoshiomy]

incredible. that air parry was legendary and that clip is gonna live forever. evo moment 38 les go

[@tuckn3339]

20 years ago, when I watched Hayao's play in 3rd, I was deeply moved. A few years later, he started posting dance videos on Nico Nico Douga, and I was deeply moved. "This is not the Hayao I want to see..." And now, he has showcased his god-like Hugo play to the world and captivated everyone with his victory dance. He is perfected.

[@yes4me]

That was my favorite moment of Evo for me... and Evo 2024 is not even over yet. I don't think Hayao will win Evo 2024, but he has won many hearts. GG.

[@higon99]

That was crazy. Decades later Hayao is still doing something beyond our comprehension. FrankieBFG, you are also remembered as the great player to evoke that art.

[@C_weng]

True. With the parry mechanic you can get some crazy situations and comebacks in this game. It's a way different parry than SF6

I keep coming back to watch this, it’s such a great display of why the FGC and EVO make fighting games stand out. When so many games have us isolated, addicted to just endless grinds, these moments really show how instead they can bring us together, win or lose. It truly is something special.
