SFIII: 3rd Strike - Necro [Sugiyama] vs Urien [Messatsu]

[@MrGSTAR321]

Holy crap, that was one of the best matches I've seen ... round 3 was pure insanity. After those parries, Urien really deserved that win ...

[@davidtorres8788]

+MrGSTAR321 Absolutely yaaaaaasss pally

[@JesuszillaS]

I was rooting for Necro and even so I have to agree.

[@Baronight]

I think Necro deserve it more...on 3rd round, all Urien did was one string of combo and bring Necro HP down to 3%...It took a lot more effort for necro to bring him down to the same health bar (And necro survive the corner due to well timed parry)...with good mix-up, combo and throw..necro could overcome those disadvantages.... Sure urien parry cool to look at, but end of the day...Necro derserve the win for putting up twice the effort he needed to beat Urien

[@curtissnellings1421]

Urien didn’t deserve shit

[@AttitudeIndicator]

Yooo come back

[@ALoserIsYou]

holy shit that parry at the end was beastly

[@fantabona]

incredible fight for an awesome game. i saw this in 2006, and i'm still enjoying in 2019. a document to preserve for the ages.

[@jeissonreyes3302]

I can't believe this was posted over 10 years ago

[@zakkziegler111]

And your post was over five years ago. Time flies, man. Seems like 06' was yesterday.

[@Sasox]

Please never delete this. I always back to see this beauty fight.

[@WrysWendellBoah]

Haha, life is so hard for Necro. Glad he pulled through. That elbow cannon loop is harder to do than it looks.

[@combomamba]

WrysWendellBoah as a necro main hell yeah it is. Necro can hit a double elbow corner juggle on any character, but against urien he can do up to six elbows in one corner combo but the timing is ridiculous. Sugiyama is arguably the best necro to ever play so it's not a problem for him lol

[@Mugen123456789]

im a new urien player and necro is giving me a really hard time

[@Ferrari_Sanchez.]

I main Necro and it is kinda tough hes got alot of obstacles especially yun Dudley and makoto are a night mare since theyr short and move pretty fast parry is the key boys parry is the key...

[@Fantom-Array]

Ending was one of the most epic comebacks I have ever seen..and the parry is also crazy.

[@pratikhazari3701]

Wow, ending was like one of those TAS vids.

[@conroexlexx8267]

Watching this late 2021 and still one of the sickest match!

[@Dretjes]

That ending tho! Sick!

[@endlessdigital]

Only one word can describe these scenes. Epic.

[@MalcolmLcz]

How can you not love Necro? "Lets git it on!!!" "Ouhta muy whai!!!" Great character. Downloadable content maybe? You listening Capcom. :(

[@popeurbainii7807]

Friend I...

[@zakkziegler111]

@@popeurbainii7807 Lol, nothing like looking into the disappointment and broken dreams of people from the past.

[@NonchA]

Hands down the best 3s match ever. Back and forth solid play from both players and an excellent finish.

[@Dyne]

Incredible finish. Did not see that coming. Glad to see something out of the ordinary like the mastery of Necro put to great use.

[@LeftyHangsLower]

They both worked so hard for every pixel of damage they dealt, I don't even know who I wanted to win more. Incredible!

[@JuukaRock]

Whoa! The last few seconds were awesome! Nice to see Sugimaya doesn't know how to give up.

[@jravage77]

This is the best Third Strike match I have ever seen.

[@conroexlexx]

Still better than SF4

[@KeegortheDinosaur]

Yeah that'd because its the best fighting game ever made

[@derekmok]

That's like saying prime rib steak is better than dog doo-doo.

[@Dobble007]

4 and 5 is bad game.

[@Adan-ke4sx]

This kind of people...

10 since this post, man, you deserve a lot of respect.

[@LiquidSoulfly]

This really has to be one of the greatest 3S matches I have ever seen. Sugiyama is a god.

[@Swansen03]

the level of skill you can hold in this game is crazy. literal skill. its so intense. this match was tops the thing about 'low tier' characters though, the reality is the compromise is taken in lack of variety and super powerful attacks. the lack of really powerful attacks puts them at a disadvantage. you have to be so tactical and laid back but keep constant pressure all while only staying within the specific boundaries of the character. I think playing lower tier characters at a high level takes a certain way of humbleness.

[@Swansen03]

maybe its more opportunistic, than tactical. opportunistically tactical?

[@dandre3K]

Swansen03 tactics = properly exploiting opportunities

[@AndrewSmith-sl5zj]

Wow Bri. I think playing a low tier character at a high level takes a certain way of humbleness. Couldn't have said it better, I imagine a Hugo tip toeing his way in when you say that.

[@Gonbebe]

Beautiful. That was so exciting!

[@druha10304]

Best fucking match ever

[@Iceman19852003]

My god, what an upset, that match was won and he came back and beat him. Great match!! Possibly one of the best ones I've ever seen.

[@zakkziegler111]

That was the most insane shit ever. Wow.

[@julesickdrums]

I think 3s is the game that best exemplifies the phrase " it's not over, until it's over"

[@9isuzu5]

Love that juggle combo at 0:52 by Necro.

[@xridethelightningx]

i love that reverberating note at the end right after the announcer says "K.O."

[@elfo7]

What a fight. Probably the best I've ever seen.

[@graziano1788]

Wahooo, final parry was amazing 😳

[@Ayo-PoL0]

what an impressive comeback...BEAUTIFUL

[@9isuzu5]

For sure bro...that player must of had a red bull joystick / control pad or something...he parried the first 6 electric shocks...then to impress even more...her rapid parried the low final three! Incredible!

[@KOFPlaymore08]

DAMN!!! That was great! well played by both characters!

[@9isuzu5]

So right...what a come back by Necro! Love it what player's do that!

[@Crazycuban561]

been watching this one for years and it never gets old.. dat necro !!

[@OscarMaris]

I love how effie says OUTTA MY WAY

[@cpade838]

How did he get red urien?

[@raxzar]

ty mate any other combos for extra colors i saw also some other colors that i never before have used. :O

[@Myst006]

The settings are the same as in any arcade you'll find. The timing for Necro's corner juggle is strict, and it only works on Urien and Alex (and Makoto?).

[@kenth0t]

One of the best matches ever. EVER.

[@CKL882]

OMG those players r god level!!!!!

[@akmv1]

Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike HD Remix ...will never come out, dreams officially crushed

[@Infil]

This very easily could be the best 3rd Strike match ever recorded.

[@Yatterman300]

Never gets old :) Necro for life. Hope he somehow makes it into SF5.

[@fullshark09]

Yatterman300 ypu are damn right. I was here 11 years ago, and here I am again revisiting. Never gets old indeed.

[@blackhairedgoon8218]

Yatterman300 Hell no, they'd fuck him up like they have everyone else the game is so dumbed down

[@flyingpotato3]

had to get hype for that one

[@bloodriotiori]

MY GOD!!!! That was a sick ass match!! The end was ungodly!

[@aho999full]

すげえええええええｗｗ

[@disorderunit1]

My favorite match

[@CeIestiaIBeing]

Do you guys know how necro sometimes can do a suplex that resmbles Alexs' power bomb when the opponent is turned around. I've seen it done before but I don't know how.

[@TenchiHawkwing]

@Deathtank75 I sure do. You'll still have to explain why being different is necessarily wrong.

[@MrSolBadguy]

One of the best matches EVER

[@gazeladocerrado]

epic back dash, epic red parry, this match is unbelievable

[@Sundownerr]

Best fight I've watched in a long time.

[@rendej0]

SICKEST third strike match I have ever seen.

[@ocelot09]

Haha Necro is so awesome to watch. Last round was great

[@picklesnorf101]

@SuperSF4yeaaa I'm not just talking about graphic improvements I'm talking about having online play and some very slight balancing issues. I like these graphics just the way they are but playing this game online would be SWEET also being able to play it on my 360 would be even sweeter.

[@sserpent21]

Urien's parry ability at the end was sweet as hell.

[@Iceman19852003]

I love this video. Both fighters used amazing juggles. I only wish I could play to this extreme. Talk about mastery, my gosh this was cool

[@BEAKER6868]

holy crap. this has to be one of the oldest videos on youtube.

[@raxzar]

OMFG that s one f the craziest matches i ever saw.

[@stone8193]

as someone who doesnt play 3s yet, can someone explain 0:52 ? lol

[@dkblade27]

the thing about chun's sa2 super which makes it so damn hard to parry is that sometimes its 7 hits and other times its 8 hits and you have to guess which one it is. on the other hand, necro's electricity + super, ive actually parried them before except it wasnt a red parry.

[@Bananas1000]

Goddamn that juggle on 00:52 too, and the ending is still amazing even after I've seen this 100 times

[@MaxieDaMan]

That battle wuz badass!

[@Mikon595]

That last round was perposterous!

[@killabeez123]

it depends wher the attack is gonna be, if its down yu press down or forward if the attach is coming forward

[@MaximusDread]

The reason why Daigo was able to "retaliate" is because Chun-li's Super Art II leaves her wide open after she misses. Justin was confident he'd win the match with it so he just threw it out there without linking or hit confirming and he got punished. Necro's Electric Snake is a projectile, and he recovers before the projectile finishes hitting the opponent. Urien didn't have any options that couldn't be countered or parried by Necro after he parried Electric Snake.

[@Axelander9999]

So.... I press forward or down at the moment of attack, or do I have to press both of them?!

[@sg-hunter]

@missinherlove he basically has long range pokes and a lot of normals and specials that hit high low. many of his medium and low normals can combo into a special or super. he also has above average stun ability. probably about the same amount as alex but not as much as makoto.

[@akumazilla]

Necro said it best at the end. "OUT OF MY WAY!" Best match I have seen.

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

@9fuckin11 You mean Street Fighter 3: Hit-confirm Super?

[@davidalejandro3115]

Sick ending, i'm never tired of seen it :D

[@Redfoxe]

The ending was awesome!

[@jonnymo1976]

holy shit at this fight, wonder if these guys are playing the new 3rd strike.

[@Deathtank75]

@TenchiHawkwing I counted 6 crouching hp from necro to urien, when he was cornered, until he got dizzy, is that normal to you?????

[@roac870521]

i dont have words to explaine what awesome was this battle ....

[@Badguy260]

OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY

[@RonaldDregan]

Shit old school clip right here that was crazy

[@WarlikeSRK]

still the best SF fight ive seen.

[@TenchiHawkwing]

@Deathtank75 Yes, since 6 is the max you can do.

[@FeleRodriguez]

For all those people who say SFIII is better than SFIV. Well I think all SF are good in is own way. SFIII is surely a more ofensive game than the other for the parry. But if you say the other SF suck is cause u never learn to play them. btw for the ppl who say Dhalsim and Blanka are not ofensive like Necro, well is cause the parry but in pro level a Dhalsin is really ofensive using the teleportation mix. And Blanka has a lot of way to atack, a lot of versality. (Sorry for the crappy english)

[@Akumashadow]

WOW!!! I've never seen a match like this both players are relly good!!!!!

[@chaosgreyblood]

The one knock that I could find about Urien's Aegis Reflector is that it only gives minimum stun damage when you trap an opponent. Had it had just a little more power, Sugiyama might have lost. All for balance in gameplay, I guess. Also, notice that the different SAs can have different purposes. For instance, Necro's Electric Snake doesn't do as much damage like say, Yang's Raishin Mahaken, but it gives good stun damage so it can come in handy.

[@NonchA]

Still probably my favorite 3s match of all time.

[@cowboxe]

holy crap! the insanity of it all!!!!!

[@raxzar]

how u choose red urien in 3rd strike thought only in 2nd giant attack its possible.

[@MrMillionDub]

Well, color me impressed. That series of parries at the end could be reminiscent of Daigo.

[@JackDblade]

Seth from SF4 fights just like Urien... the Focus Attack looks like Urien's shoulder ram, both of their stances look very similar, and both of them has the down elbow uppercut at 0:26. they remade Urien into Seth maybe?

[@catiline1]

Greatest match ever! The good guys won not the illuminati.

[@KebraderaPumper]

one the best matches

[@Kuzan24]

@FatMan123123 Thats not even cannon because Hugo took a Shin Shoryuken from Ryu and got back up

[@HANZOREIZA]

can watch this everyday, matter of fact i do watch this everyday, Legends at play I love this match Talking of matches, Match vs Nihiro is up there also

[@edumuse]

How choose that color to urien ? red urien ?

[@XxKeNtRoYxX]

necro's corner juggles are insane

[@sunasuna16]

was that a typo, or are you using archaic words?

[@Axelander9999]

I got it! Thanks! And by the way... I JUST LOVE THE SONG IN THIS STAGE!!!

[@LeafDew]

This match still makes me laugh. So awesome.

[@neohayabusa13]

Messatsu was great, he was trying to pull a Daigo there with the parrying and Sugiyama is the Best Necro player I have seen up to date.

[@julesickdrums]

@benson465 half the answer, you can only do that to Urien, Q, Hugo and maybe other few chars but those are the most "juggleables"

[@upi95]

Excellent Parry.
