Ricky Ortiz (KE) Justin Wong (CH) vs Kuroda (Q) Hayao (HU)

[@holeeray]

Fourth taunt in the first round and the post-KO taunt. Just walking up to Justin. Playing "chicken" with him by just sitting there. Making fun of Justin's play style with the cr. medium kicks to build meter. Letting the clock run out. Throwing his hands up in the air after the win and then blowing off Justin Wong's hand shake after the match. I'm sure there's other little thing I didn't pick up on, but you get the gist.

[@claudekingstan4084]

Justin Wong is a little overrated btch

"18 years ago" Oh, man...first time I've seen that on KZbin

[@someguydudeidk]

holy it actually is

[@toasterdudel8080]

I just saw this today! RO/JW got outclassed.

[@supamalleo64]

Theyre still outclassed​@@toasterdudel8080

[@dayjun]

btw kuroda was toying with justin wong the whole time its amazing

[@ninjachipzanuff]

i believe the actual story involves justin wong dissing raoh (another 3s player) by taunting or something in a match and that's why kuroda embarrassed him in this video

[@Jay-ct6wu]

Kuroda is fucking trash. Fuck off. Justin would have easily won that if he wasn’t acting like a little bitch and running out the clock.

[@patrckhh20]

@@Jay-ct6wu So you mean he would've won if Kuroda wasn't playing like Justin lol. And you sound like a moron. Kuroda is the best 3s player ever.

[@gersondacunha4494]

[@stripedhyenuh]

Round 2 of the Wong vs. Kuroda fight is one of the most hilarious matches I've ever seen.

[@two2tone]

After this many years... and I still find this video entertaining... A rematch between ortiz/wong vs hayao/kuroda today.... I will pay to watch!

[@Hotobu]

Is it just me or did Kuroda have absolutely NO respect for J. Wong's game? He seemed to eat FPs in the first match, and mocked him in the second.

[@realmrkarate]

Its funny how all the new fgc people always bring up daigo. I know that chun super parry was cool but in 3s daigo was never that good compared to othe Japanese players like uni, yamazaki, kuroda, hayao, KO, ect.... I even wanna say that haitani played a better ken then daigo did. He is still a lot better then most us players though. Really Justin and ricky had no chance against these guys.

[@DuloxAndDaxixx]

true Hayao would destroy anyone of those new skröbz by just using SPD!

[@benjihuynh2970]

I know this is a very old comment, but I think its worth saying that most people who know what they're talking about don't think Daigo was the best 3rd Strike player at any point. He was definitely a top player though, capable of beating everyone you listed and Nuki, who I think was probably in that "etc." New FGC people bring up Daigo because he is unquestionably the greatest Street Fighter player of all time, he was the best at 2, he was a top contender for 3, he was the best at 4 for the first few years and top 10 for the rest of it. No one really has a resume to stand up to that.

[@AmoniPTV]

@@benjihuynh2970 He is the best during USF4 as well no question

[@stedp662]

Leon Jones BLATANT

[@benjihuynh2970]

@Leon Jones didn't you say, "Ryan Hart...... Nuff said?" Where are the facts to back up your argument? Hart does have the wr most tournament wins, but daigo has better placements at international street fighter tournaments. Hart has 1 top 8 finish at a capcom cup or an evo for street fighter (7th in 3S). He doesn't have an SBO win either and honestly he should since I'm pretty sure he's better than daigo at 3S who does have an SBO tournament win. If you look back through street fighter's tournament history can you find any extended period of time where Hart deserved to be ranked first in the world? Was there ever a time when he went to the biggest tournaments and won or placed top 2/3 at several times in a row?

[@Hlidskialf]

KURODA GOD

[@EmpanadaDeCaca]

Indeed he is a god

[@offtopicX]

i remember downloading this when it first came out. i'm still as impressed, and i laugh just as much. especially wong being all pissy at the end.

[@livingmaulana]

Holy fuck the disrespect.

[@Deviltriggerfounder]

If you mean the taunts, it increases Q's defense by like 30%.

[@livingmaulana]

Yea I know that, bonus only max up to 3 times

[@Jak00125]

2:35 I'm watching this again. I've seen this video maybe 5-6 times. Hilarious and insightful. I really find the way Kuroda plays Q to be interesting (to say the least) he can apply the pressure when he wants to, then he backs off and lets his opponent make a fatal mistake.

[@baiken032]

My god, I've never seen a beast Q player like this. Damn.

[@truendymion]

@xioutube He's good with all the characters, I think he picks Q to show he's the best at this game.

[@alohaamigogo]

I do think Kuroda was trying to tick him off, but also I think there was a bit of tactical planning on Kuroda's part. Kuroda guessed (and guessed correctly in that match) that he won't be able to get safe opportunities to get three taunts in before Justin gets a guage up. So he decided to taunt, therefore getting the full defense bonus, before he has any real damage potential, while sacrificing some life. You do see that Chun-Li's SA does very little damage.

[@Ipwnweniwant2]

That's the best Q player i've ever seen

[@orenjidance]

Dammit, I just love how Q pounded Chun Li to defeat!!!! HAhaahaha, don't you guys hear when Justin does his super, nobody cheers. Haahahahaahahaha, thanks Kuroda! Some great fights.

[@bigboss6145]

Phrasing.

[@retnuHDJ]

Kuroda AND Hayao in one team... Nothing short of awesome...

[@jfjnpxmy]

Yeah. It's worth pointing out that Q's defense only increases with the first three taunts which, in a display of sheer cheekiness, he rushed out in the face of Wong's "assault". The fourth, immediately after he knocks Wong down, was pure headgames.

[@SpoonOfHawaii]

@SabishiiRyuu Why would Kuroda get pissed off that Ricky taunted Hayao? They both know that Hayao could OCV them himself if he wanted to. This supposedly started back in 2004 when Justin Wong beat Japanese player Raoh by time out and then acted cocky about it to him. Following that was Daigo's comeback parry victory.

[@Superscoper7]

Oh God, that was some high class trolling right there. Kuroda, congrats not only on your win but your guts as well!

[@KikiDaiso]

@SethKeidashi It's generally accepted that this is because Jwong defeated Raoh at Evo2k4, prior to "Daigo Parry".

[@zaziguad]

@SabishiiRyuu Where did you hear about all that? Hayao wasn't even in this video.

[@Guywithair2]

Thanks for informing on my error. I will try harder next time to make you happy

[@corcheteroTejon]

5:11 low kick is the best part imo

[@IB_E_Y_O_N_DI]

[@ajesed]

That kuroda shows how you can be a magical player using non-common characters

[@RajmanHDGaming]

Is team Ino Japan (last years winners with Kuroda) at SBO this year?

[@erikmenendez7491]

Q is awesome

[@RAINMELEE]

kuroda & hayao... epic

[@INeverDidLikeUTube]

As posted in the 3rd Strike section of the SRK wiki: Increases defense for the whole round by 12.5% (maximum 3 taunts, 37.5% bonus). Also increases stun recovery rate for the whole round by 10% (one taunt is the maximum).

[@IamEVILBLANKA]

@Fujiwaradubstep what do you have to do to get msf. its hard enough to get an a. i parried a whole super and got a perfect out of the 3 rounds i played last night and got a b plus plus. gotta respect 3s players, this is not an easy game to break into. but it is truly rewarding when you do pull off something great, very satisfying

[@NukaLuLu]

This is one is not talked about enough. It’s hilarious

[@etang5]

i love watching this match. it's just fun to see kuroda busting up folks with Q. A lot of times it seems Hayao is the better player but Kuroda holds his own very will in this case. Good on him. Great patience. way to stick it to jwong~ lol!

[@Moe598]

@uhhhnthony You're saying you'd be willing to main Sean/Dan even with high chances of losing your every match?

[@MrCactuar13]

Why hasn't Kuroda moved on to SF4, you may ask? Simply because there is no clock for him to play with in character select (at least for console editions)

[@colinsmejkal4046]

Lol because SF4 is not nearly as technical and fun to play as SF3 is.

[@ch12145]

@Chamillionare64 He doesn't have one. Command throw is HCB+k

[@meu02136]

@Gigameth89 Well I've seen an A++ now by Renic on 3rd strike revival with Necro.

[@RAEN74]

Whenever Ricky Ortiz and Diago I think it was in EVO2k4...earlier rounds...they both didn't use White...thats really interesting...but does Ricky always use White like Diago?

[@Ultrakupra]

Kuroda is nuts lol

[@manrightchea]

Tier whoring is the exact reason Wong and U.S players in general get raped everytime we are invited to an SBO. Close minded strategies that rely on overpowered characters. Until the U.S drops the "easy mode" mentality we'll never close the distance. That's why I love players like Hayao, Kuroda, or Yamazaki. Shows the real potential of these characters to people too blinded by tiers.

[@zeekin]

It'd be interesting to see what would happen if kuroda went over to the dark side and tried getting serious with yun or yang or something ;-)

[@masamuneseraph]

What's a good strategy to land both dashing punches after C&DB?

[@RichardDunnKnowsAll]

can someone tell me how the fuck Kuroda does that stomp (close standing forward) into DP at 5:17? is that some kind of partitioning or just perfect timing? looks so fucking nasty

[@Kn0wOneNos3]

That's not DP, it's charge strong. I mean it can hit airborne opponents but...

[@titoshosito]

Did you found out how

[@supamalleo64]

You have to charge while in the air and then after stomp do dash punch. ​@@titoshosito

[@kengarou]

Ok guys the combo that Kuroda did for Q from 0:57 to 0:59 , What versions of punch or kick does he use in order to combo? I want to learn that 3 hit combo. For the grab , which version of kick does he use? Hope somebody can give explanations on how to do the combo from start till the end

[@CtrlAltDaLEET]

most satisfying and funniest matches to watch kuroda read them as if they were books

[@RaishinX]

The thumbs up Kuroda did just topped off everything.

[@MrTOTBL]

DON'T HATE THE GAME, DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE YOURSELF FOR NOT IMPROVING. PRACTICE!!! :)

[@holeeray]

They're both good games. I used to play 3s exclusively and now I'm trying to learn SF4 and can't really say which one I like over the other in an overwhelming way. I still prefer 3s slightly, but can't find it on GGPO anymore.

[@NhemLee]

Great video commentary! Funny and informative.

[@raxzar]

@zaziguad hayao and kuroda always team up you know sbo is a team tournament?

[@TheBoubi09]

that was intense trolling

[@Chamillionare64]

Does anyone know the command for Q's air throw?

[@Verminator4]

Holy shit. Kuroda embarrassed Wong worse than Gamerbee did.

[@booates]

Did you watch this? Because it didn't look like he insured his win with it..

[@TheFinalGoose]

@uhhhnthony fun at the competitive level games comes from both players using the best (cheapest) tactics to outsmart/outplay the other. And Kuroda didn't show justin what it felt like to lose like that. Justin isn't a beginner and has lost hundreds of games of every fighting game he's played in infuriating ways.

[@hydragon6537]

it boosts Q's defense each time he taughts - you really don't want him to taunt 3 times or you deal with a tank lol

[@Kiechannels]

why does it seem as though justin wong refused Kuroda's handshake?

[@xioutube]

@Minato23 dont they ban him from tourneys? (akuma)

[@SpoonOfHawaii]

@MrEmilCastagnier What? He never did that to Hayao.

[@abysmalmonkey]

Damn, Kuroda had absolute control over that much. Now when your getting toyed with by a Q, and you're using Chun-Li...you know you got ways to go!

[@Leavant]

Kuroda is one of the best Third Strike players ever, no doubt.

[@Peetar]

@valk4life Isn't the gap only giant in 3S? Most fighting games, the gap is a lot closer. Hell, most Japanese players suck compared to America in MvC2 right?

[@velcor]

man, that final movement was a real bummer.

[@theaznfishy]

Whatever happened to hayao?

[@shiryu22]

The annotations say that Kuroda refused the handshake, and that Wong himself went for the handshake - it looks that way. Does anyone know for sure what happened? Either way, I hope a more suitable American champion (or Daigo) destroys Justin at Evo2k9.

[@Neondarkness72]

>Taunts 3 fucking times in a row, right in Justins face, less than half a screen length away from him >just fucking tanks the attacks thrown at him >slowly and menacingly walks towards him >combos him >taunts once more Fucking hilarious. I think Justin Wong is still upset about this, what with his placing of Q on his most recent tier list, lol.

[@supamalleo64]

Kurda denied his GG handshake obv he's still upset lol.

[@ImSpongebob007]

Same here, I'll talk shit to my friends all day long, but you should always be cautious when it's people you don't really know because some people take it personally.

[@snowtime11]

whats "turtle" mean?

[@MrCactuar13]

@MrGamerMan64 Putting my crude joke aside, I know very well that SF3 is much different from SF4; it took me quite a while before I was able to fully transition into SF4, and it feels uncomfortable when I try to go back to 3.

[@studdaman101]

@MrCactuar13 lol haha good 1!... cnt wait till 3rd strike come out again so hopefully Kuroda's Q can come back!

[@Predalienabomination]

Damn. Pure domination. Are there any Twelve players this good or near as good? i like to watch Twelve.

[@supamalleo64]

Totally agree with you there.

[@ClamperBR]

What happened to Kuroda ? Does he still play competitive games ?

[@Chaldean4life91]

@RIFLESnVIOLETS akumas his main. in his set with ino he uses akuma. on GGPO he mainly uses akuma against BOSS. his other characters are just for fun, which are Q Hugo Ryu Sean and thats about all ive seen him use. but akuma is his main.

[@Raymhein]

Does Q's defense boost stack for each taunt or does it last a certain amount of time after the taunt?

[@mx0670]

Uhh, I think people view this match to see Kuroda. And I'd like to see you go up against them. Have you even been in a tournament much less make top 8?

[@FastAkira]

oh yes. And Urien, Oro, Hugo, Yun... ^^

[@ThePieIsFalse]

you also have to consider that next to nobody uses Q professionally in the States....so perhaps some lack of the matchup played into this

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

I know what it does, but i think in this case, its ovious he was having fun with him. Some other players did the same, such as standing still etc.

[@4g63t8]

Ricky at their peak is insane. Kuroda is two notches above that.

[@Kajotex]

kuroda and hayao are the coolest of the sfiii players. they show us that this is still a game and you should have fun with it! Also showing hightier players how much asswhuppin they can get is fun too ;)

[@manrightchea]

@tj203 I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the info. Although I do still believe that DSP was correct in his statements as well, it may not be the sole reason for the skill gap but it is part of the problem. I don't believe Wong even made Top 8 at last years EVO.

[@PieManZXY]

You guys obviously don't get it, the taunts are necesary. Q's taunt increases his defense you know, look at when Wong did his SA to Kurudo. Barely hurt.

[@abm6774]

best player

[@Chaldean4life91]

@330432 he used Hugo in a lot of matches too including tournies. Akuma is his main. the playstyle between his akuma and the rest of his chars, is totally different. there are other people who can compare to Kurodas Q, hugo, ryu, sean, etc... but his Akuma has no rival. I believe its his main

[@fohstick]

hayao didn't even have to lift a finger

[@raxzar]

Don´t think so im pretty sure super street fighter iv is the last version of IV. It´isn´t the 90s anymore they can´t sell ton of copys of SF IV.

[@Tryllefod]

So true Kuroda and Hayao are my low-tier heroes. Hayao is so beasty with Hugo.
