KO (YU) Kokujin (DU) vs Kuroda (Q) Hayao (HU)

Street Fighter III: Third Strike, SBO3 semifinals

[@CtrlAltDaLEET]

4 of my most favourite 3's players in a single event, AWESOME

[@meowthing]

That Dudley Cross-under XX Super was brilliant!

[@stretchypants123]

@LULZTHREAT ya I thought Yun's Genei Jin did a little too much damage considering Q's vitality.

[@shoryuken3167]

wow perfect!

[@KaalVeiten]

In 2002 when the japanese first came to Evo, they were asked the question, Who's the best? They all answered Kuroda.

[@toemaetoe]

@BlueBlaze93 Pretty much yes. Also f+mk overhead and double palm hp.

[@jandrmayers]

God I usually don't comment on ignorance that I find on youtube, but this I can't resist. Ok for one MOV who has won more sbos in 3rd strike then anyone said kuroda is the best 3s player in the world. Also to even mention justin wong as a top 3s player is absurd. Not only did Kuroda make a fool of ocv both him and rick otriz (both of which are chun players) he did it with Q and mocked him the entire match for example constantly jumpin back with hk and spending 70 secs of the rounds in the corner

[@leeemo]

Haha, every time Hayao did a 360, the audience emulated what Yun's reaction would have been, "Whooooaaaoooo!!!...."

[@speedsterh]

That series of red parries > SA1 from Hayao left me gobsmacked ! Favorited !

[@rpgFighterGatsu]

hey does that Hayao dude still exist? anyone?

[@NhemLee]

You'll see him at :43. He's the one carrying the hat. From what i've heard Kuroda likes to stay in character (in this case q) before matches, so he stays quiet.

[@Raymhein]

Both these teams are ridiculously skilled.

[@fakeshitbitch]

anyone know if theres a kuroda vs daigo match???

[@speedsterh]

I love it when I see top players like these not taking themselves seriously (outside of game I mean).

[@robbinsillinois]

@dragonfirelee thank you man cuz kuroda is a BEAST in the highest order

[@TehPwnage1337h4x0rz]

@Vdon Most games are about winning, that doesn't mean there's not tiers.

[@Leavant]

Good shit from the Yun. Never have seen Kuroda get shut down so easily.

[@TehPwnage1337h4x0rz]

Yeah! It's awesome that Kuroda uses Q, for a few reasons...Low Tier...Cool as hell...and my fav.

[@Johnyster]

@codyhamilton316 No, thats Hayao. Kokujin is the second left to right.

[@imnotgay_butineedthemoney]

I like the noise that guy makes at 4:57

[@retnuHDJ]

@robbinsillinois Thank you :P

[@thepwner7]

WHOOOOOOOAHHHH

[@playtoyx]

I want to see a good Q vs Hugo match have any videos people? Pls reply.

[@Exhuman]

Kuroda and Hayao both went in character...

[@darkzealot07]

holy fuc dude hayao's red parry damn into grab... wow

[@Itsallover57]

i wish theyd bring hugo back just so we can watch that dude fight again.

[@stretchypants123]

RAWR! Hugo hugged Yun to death! LOL that was just funny.

[@RAEN74]

oh you take that back!! :D

[@romeo9710]

.........WOOOOAAHHHHH!!!!

[@klumzyrice]

The guy dressed up like that is the Hugo player, Hayao.

[@AguilarRudametkin]

Look up Kuroda @ SBO Finals 2009 (KZbin won't allow links in comments). Kuroda notably beats [厳密神ピエロ] Pierrot (Remy), [やっくん] Yakkun (Yun), and [ヌキ] Nuki (Chun). Search up Game-Versus Danisen Grade. Those are the Japanese rankings. Yakkun is perhaps the best Yun player. Nuki is amongst the top Chun Li and Ken players, and sided with Daigo as Ohnuki back in Daigo's hey day. Check out the Game Spot Versus League Battle [猛者], find [クロダ] Kuroda. Do your research. Look up videos. Or stay a fool.

[@kid-kuma]

This was true SOMEWHAT back then, today the "Cheap" more or less exists. Vanilla Phoenix, Vanilla Sagat, or even slightly older, A-Bison could be described and justified as cheap.

[@blackchrisp]

LOL, had to find this video since UltraDavid commented about it during FR.

[@SpoonOfHawaii]

even though kokujin's dudley is one of my top fav's... i HAVE to cheer for any Hugos (Hayao) he faces

[@Kalebent]

That's a great Hugo.

[@truendymion]

Thats pretty scary! I would just put the controller down and walk away if something like that happened to me...

[@napleee]

Kuroda = My favourite SF player !

[@pickler_pickler]

lol kuroda makes Everyone wait during the title screen

[@RyukendenY]

4 best players in the world and all took their main.

[@needcollegeloan]

LOL Yeah. It's amazing that they got to semis on their own. Ino was there third teammate, but he didn't show up : / They probably could have won again.

[@retnuHDJ]

But that doesn't mean some characters can't have seemingly disproportionately good abilities. Although I do agree when you say fighting games are about winning. The better you utilize your chosen characters abilities, the better you will become at beating your opponents.

[@Tsuroka]

well he may be considered the best now, but for a long time KO was the top dog

[@houou100]

@RyukendenY So Hayao paid... one quarter of the price?

[@Charnel_Heart]

No wait a second, which one of them was the one in the sailor scout outfit?

[@PovertyG0d]

Did they get that rufus dive move from yun?

[@Charnel_Heart]

Forgive my ignorance, but which one was which? Was the one in the sailor moon/power ranger costume Kuroda? And which one of them was Kokujin?

[@truendymion]

True dat, I still can't bring my self to use Ken or Ryu, i've gotta have some sort of challenge I guess.

[@terrorfr0nt]

UOOO! UOOO!!! UO!!!

[@PsychoJosh]

@Vdon It's actually harder to be cheap in this game than in SF4.

[@hamidious]

Who's wearing the funny outfit? which one is which? And where is Kuroda and Hayao now, did they quit? Why?

[@drew02k]

I agree that Yun was crazy. Made Kuroda's Q look horrible. Hugo is a bit tougher because Yun has to be in close and Hugo wants to be in close.

[@mx0670]

Knew it xP. I play Ken and Necro in tourney's, but I practice with Urien cuz he's just that cool.

[@PinkalPeaches]

Hayao's Hugo is so beastly

[@Scidadle]

Man, I've never seen Kuroda get trashed like that before.

[@RaishinX]

"UUUWAAH!?"

[@aprendendoyoutube3942]

I believe Kuroda continues trying to understand what happened... KO to much agressive for him!

[@fohstick]

5:47 - WWWWWWWWHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHH

[@TheSpectre2300]

All four of these guys are great but I give higher credit to Hayao and Kuroda because they use low-tier characters.

[@RruuhzyA]

Hayao, what does the scouter say about his power level?

[@SoldatCrinale]

@Removes dont take anything away form KO though. He is one of the best Yun Players in Japan. They have this match constantly over the years. Sometimes Kuroda bodies KO and then the other way around.

[@18CaStRaDoMiS89]

Hahaha I love the Japanese fan's reactions. Also, sick fucking Hugo.

[@retnuHDJ]

That is very true... I suppose he could mess up and waste his super. However, it seems his super is harder to defend against than most. He can activate it at the other side of the stage and still sometimes expect to get his opponent into a juggle :( Anyway, I have barely played this game so to be honest my opinion doesn't count for much XD

[@Tsuroka]

yes he is, one of the best in japan, but the yun player is generally considered the best overall player to ever play the game(he's won with yun, yang and makoto among others, so notice i didnt say best at a certain hero, thats for you daigo fanboys rx fanboys too)

[@MrCactuar13]

Watched the video in hopes of seeing Kuroda's skills, but unfortunately he got thoroughly beaten. I did, at least, see Hugo kick Yun's ass! I kinda agree with SFtheWolf: some characters like Yun are way too overpowered.

[@dumba989]

I don't think anyone notices but in the 2nd Round Vs. K.O., Hayao only did 360 to kill him.

[@_meyhemmm]

@nigaplzitzron Like 1 damage, or was it 10?

[@ksmoove12able]

not really its just when I state my opion you either like it or you dont

[@Pardoned]

Never seen Kuroda get such a smackdown laid upon him. He musta been sleeping at the console and just rolling on the buttons or something

[@piruetten]

WTF, Hayao didn't performed his super at the very end? Or won't it happen?

[@Chopitup13]

kokujin is tight, but fujiwara is the best dudley ever. PERIOD

[@retnuHDJ]

The point is, it's harder to land hugos SA. A good Yun player will be able to land at least a couple of juggles from his SA in a game, whereas Hugo would be lucky to get 1 against a good opponent.

[@julesickdrums]

crowd's reaction, it's so funny xD

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

It's definitely more work than just doing a regular super that deals a rediculous set amout of damage, so in some ways it's at least a little more fair. You have to actually learn combos with his supermode.

[@andy2k]

im guessin hayao is hugos girl and kuroda is holding Q's head

[@SFtheWolf]

Imagine how great a game Third Strike would be if it was balanced.

[@juglarlocogmail]

gg Kuroda

[@booates]

even though he got beasted?

[@IAmKingHomey]

@mindahl J.Wong anyone ?

[@RAEN74]

ahah oh yeah!

[@truendymion]

I actually play Akuma cuz he's easy but I've been training with Q, Twelve, Urien.

[@Johnyster]

That is Hayao =D

[@Pardoned]

@SoldatCrinale Nah, he's like my favorite Yang player in the world. Nothing like him

[@Moe598]

@IAmKingHomey I honestly wouldn't care if the other guy is arrogant or not. As long they beat me fair and square, all that matters is getting better and to win the rematch.

[@6Diego1Diego9]

you forgot about yuki otoko...

[@skiie]

If only Kuroda switched places with Hayao............

[@hyogaiceheart]

nvm read the above comments, looks like it is lol

[@UnclePutte]

Have to wonder if he was having an off day or something. But still, I wouldn't go calling Yun too much of a monster in this case, Q has absolutely monstrous burst damage capability.

[@8bitmario1]

@ksmoove12able I could link you to some videos of Kuroda beating Jwong if you'd like. I could also link you to videos of him beating plenty of above average Oro players. I'm also pretty sure Kuroda almost won SBO using Q. It's not a matter of him being able to beat you or not, Kuroda has beat other professional players consistently and thus has been named the best 3S player.

[@TehPwnage1337h4x0rz]

=/ He got beasted because he faced Yun, who's top tier for a reason...

[@rumtumtugger]

Except he's never won an SBO, despite getting into the finals several times and pairing up with RX and Roshi...

[@IISADHD]

wouldve been so epic if hayao red parried partway into the corkscrew and supered back, woulda killed kokujin and been absolutely ridiculous for the comeback win.

[@KikiDaiso]

I only realised now that Hayao won round 2 with nothing but 360 throws.

[@Irv350]

lol who is that in the dress

[@ksmoove12able]

see I love kuroda's Q cuz he is the turtle/offensive Q master but against real pros he gets destroyed so I guess he is not good enough but fuck it he's still clean to me lol

[@gemini4lyfe3001]

@Blitzmidfielder cheap but not broken

[@theaznfishy]

body slam x 4 gg... poor Q

[@kazuyafan94]

Hayao should of parry Dudley''s finisher

[@hyogaiceheart]

is the cosplayer hayao?

[@Pikachieu]

you mean moonsault press? lol

[@Flintc08]

where the hell is j dammit!? lol jk...great matches with phenomenal players...this game honestly will never die because of matches of epic proportions like this
