I FINALLY FOUGHT THE BEST Q PLAYER!

The Kara Command Grab is really hard to do and it's incredibly impressive that TM can do it so consistently

[@SWong37]

Is he using b+mp to kara by doing hcb mp, hk?

[@jicobfromstreets]

@@SWong37 the input is extremely wonky with a few variations. I use 21232{1}4MP~HK

[@SirGrimly]

Newbie fighting game player here... what's a Kara Command Grab?

[@strakka]

@@SWong37 It's not nearly that simple because the qcb+mp gives you slaps, so just doing hcb will give you overlapping input windows and hitting mp will trigger the slaps first. You need to do 212321(pause)4+mp~hk. So basically, you open only the qcb window, delay opening the hcb window, then wait for the qcb window to close before going to 4 to get the b+mp for kara while the command grab window is still active to cancel into command grab. Yeah, it's complicated.

[@jicobfromstreets]

@@SirGrimly The kara technique is used to extend your special move's or super move's range. In 3rd Strike's case, you do it by cancelling the first frame of a normal with either a throw, the universal overhead, and specials and supers as mentioned before.

[@Seaoftea]

11:20 Q is in the air after standing from crouch for 3 frames. You can air throw him but not throw him on the ground.

[@RandoBox]

11:27 - Q's throw box is in the air for a few frames after crouching. He can even be air thrown when he does this.

[@X_ADumbName]

Wow, TM is such a fast learner. Look how fast he picks up after those first two matches and he comes around, dishing out some hot SLAPS.

[@nefariousnilbog]

Don't play fighting games, don't know what's going on beyond who's winning. This is still damn fun to watch. Something about Q is entertaining too, so different.

[@Oh-Ben]

Yea it's nice Justin is explaining the finer aspects

[@nefariousnilbog]

@@Oh-Ben Yeah, I don't know the terms like meaty or appreciate the amazing back and forth dance and use of space by both experts, but he's a funny guy and engaging. I've become a bit of a fan of his on KZbin these last few months, despite knowing about him since his daigo Evo moment and his legendary status as an Evo champ.

[@personpersonson7958]

@@nefariousnilbog In Street Fighter, and most fighting games when you press an attack the move has three phases. Startup, contact, and recovery. Each part is measured in a short time frame know as a frame. Usually moves connect immediately l so you hit the first part. But on wake-up for example when getting up you are immune so you can time it, and hit a later active frame. This means that you get to act sooner than normal which is absurdly useful in fighting games. Essentially it's timing a move so that after you can move quickly to get a better combo, better pressure, or better mixups after. It can also make unsafe moves possible to throw out.

[@nefariousnilbog]

@@personpersonson7958 Very interesting stuff, thanks.

[@thekinghasnoname4858]

@@nefariousnilbog It's amazing how Daigo's Evo Moment has been influential, I even started playing this game because of it. And I train on it a bit every day (I'm a Rank C player online, which means intermediate level). Loved your comment!

[@AdreniciderXBL]

man i still can't get over how beautiful animations 3rd strike has...

[@v.d.2738]

Big companies don't have pixel artists anymore after they stopped making games with pixel arts.

@@v.d.2738 nice that a lot of indie companies still do unique pixel art though. the risk/reward just aint there for most of the big developers though.

[@Carlos-xb3rs]

My boy going crazy with those grabs. Thanks for the content Justin you’re amazing.

[@RandoBox]

Awesome to see TM featured here.

[@MrMarket1987]

One of my favorite pastimes has become watching the 3rd Strike highlights and rounds channel, and as a lover of robotic characters in fighting games it's been a treat to catch glimpses of TM and closely talented challengers. It's great seeing Q shine and give others the hands; Still daring to hope they add him in SFVI, distinct from G. The SM64 coin sounds are highly appreciated.

Q is my favorite Street Fighter character ever,and seeing him at high level always makes my day. Dope set Justin,you always one of the goats👌👌

[@z0d603]

I love me some 3rd Strike. Especially when characters like Q perform. I love Q, Nerco and Makoto.

[@Point5_]

11:20: not a jump cancel. Q is considered airborne during his uncrouch animation so that's why your grab whiffed. You can even air throw him

[@NSAgent]

I love a good Q. I want to see him make a return

[@scoorpioon19]

this is so good man. i can always count on Justin for some top tier 3rd Strike matches.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

At first, I thought it was going to be Kuroda, but then I remembered that Kuroda is as self-destructive as Q's SA III.

[@loklobo]

TM is such a legend

[@theedwardian]

Q is a really interesting character. Part rekka, part grappler, controls like a rock, needs to taunt to multiple times to access health reserves, huge, slow target with devastating traps and combos .

[@lmao1660]

Huh? He has a rekka?

[@Geese_boi777]

Gg’s man. That was a beast set

[@scaleitback1055]

The Mario 64 sounds during taunts killed me

[@GASHPAN]

Woah crazy players over there, GG!

[@munchkinmatt1670]

11:32 If I remember correctly, this is a "bug". When you crouch, there are frames where you cannot be thrown. It's as if you duck the throw. 10 years ago, TM was known to do this, and the timing is so specific that the other players could not do it as consistently as he. Not even Kuroda could do this as well as TM. I remember this coming up a couple of times in GGPO chat when the whole lobby would spectate the pro players.

[@Browniedays]

I love when players uses low tier characters and show what can they do, it's so much fun.

[@basilmahyoub3607]

the beauty here is that Q is deemed as the lowest in the tier list yet is capable of a lot of things, which shows you that the low tiers in 3rd Strike are a menace in their own right compared to other games where low tiers are just...bad picks.

[@Marionettetc]

I don't comment a lot but thank you for uploading videos against Q. I think he's a fascinating low tier character and watching magicians work him against you (You who I consider is the gold standard of fighting players) is always amazing.

[@myboy_]

Favorite street fight character, dying to have him back in 6

[@lotharschramm5000]

6 is bad unfortunately, Q or not

[@Bossbase11]

"That set was legendary," Congrats J. Wong!!🔥🔥

[@johnornelas]

11:20 its not jump cancel tech, its more simple than that. Q has throw invul frames during his crouch animation, so there are some good OS that beat throw and meaty low

[@ShaneDouglas713]

6:52 I love this move!!! 😁

[@aldenhayes914]

I would love to see the look on peoples faces when you walk into an arcade. Its probably as close to a real life DBZ episode as you can get

[@kramareva7446]

This is a very nice match! That Kara Command Grab by Q is OD and is very hard to execute, much more to setup it up. From a Japanese tutorial video that I watched, the best players really set it up from an air to air hit near the corner. Also, the usual cue they're going to do it is they suddenly crouch from outta nowhere. I hope you fought KUNI as well on your time in Japan! That I wanna see.. 😀😀

[@tfam1251]

“My super barely does damage!” Chun Li’s super still takes 25% life bar from fully armored Q

TM is the legend of the kara command grab. I've seen the man do 4 of them in a row without his opponent being able to do anything. Also I love how he taunts at the beginning of the round like 80% of the time lol. You always know it's TM if the Q taunts as soon as the round begins.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Dunno man, nearly EVERY Q Player on this channel have been awesome and deadly!

[@misugijun]

random question @8:47 We can see Chun walking back so i guess Justing holding down the back direction on joystick. and we also see Q is charging towards Chun with attack. But we don't ever see Chun get in block animatiıon. Why is that? Isn't the player supposed to get in block animation while holding back direction when opponent has active attack frames regardless of the attack could reach the player or not?

[@comeonclarkman]

3rd Strike does not have proximity guard so you can always parry out.

[@misugijun]

@@comeonclarkman thanks

[@facepalmmedia]

“I’m pretty good at blocking” is the biggest understatement of all time

[@joeresio]

Remember when you fought Alan in Colorado at Akebara? That was a hell of a fight

[@bloodytoad2010]

There's a nice way for Chunli to do some nice damage . Usually you do medium spinning bird kick quickly ram hk into hyakureskyaku . IT comes out very fast . You deal more chip damage or you surprise him with some damages.

Q has a glich with his crouch to stand animation, think he is classed as airborne briefly so cant be thrown, but can be air thrown. Saw it recently in a TheoryFighter short.
