Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike KO vs. Daigo

Anybody who liked the imfamous Wong vs. Daigo video at EVO 2k4 will love this match as well.

[@Gameuurr]

My mind is absolutely fucking blown right now. I haven't looked much into KO & his tournament history but watching a match this heated has got me so damn curious. A really aggresive Yun player is scary as hell especially with Genei-Jin activated! I swear, SF is THE best series of games to bring every type of person from all walks of life together!

[@ultimante]

That Yun player isn't just "great", he's KO, arguably the #1 Yun player in the world. And he's fighting Daigo, arguably the #1 Ken player in the world. These two guys are among the best SF3 players in the world.

[@heartlesswizard]

Two of Japan's best Third Strike players in top form. This is the best fighting game of all time, and definitely needs to be ported to XBL and PSN.

[@focal69]

its like watching jordan and magic at the top of their times. they might not be the best ever, but man... they're damn good. they match up perfectly to each other. genius

[@DanteBellavoix]

The crowds reaction to combos and counters is the best part of this video lol.

[@CharmingMountain]

why cant i find this KO player on youtube, i wanna see more vids of him playing 3rd striek what about sf4?

[@zolisab]

check the cooperation cup tournaments

[@188Sozum]

No doubt man. I love 3rd strike, possibly the most balanced and well tuned 2d fighter ever created and the hand drawn animations are so smooth and fluid.

[@darthba11er]

@ 2:20 is the cross-over from hell ! These matches are the best, thanks for posting.

[@iamber34]

Awsome! Just goes to show how effective the SFIII fighters really are!

[@tiend15]

Man i just love how video games bring people together like that nice fight!

[@Plagueflea]

Truth, it is spoken. Watching fps just isn't as engaging as when you're actually playing, but with fighting games you get to see the two side's every move, watch the tensions rise and feel just about as much suspense in it as they do.

[@Jalestine]

wow that was impressive for both players. great vid.

[@gerardgmz]

Cool, man. This game is all new to me, I've only been playing it for ten months on ps2 and I'm learning how to play with Ken.

[@6Diego1Diego9]

im loving the speaker system there, i can almost feel those hits

[@floyedthewizard]

Those were some truely amazing matches.

[@chaos1778]

you have no idea how awesome and intense a high level SSF3 3rd Strike match between world class players can get

[@strikerk]

This is like the greatest fight I've ever seen.

[@TheDonaldduck911]

that was the best street fighter match i've ever seen

[@Incendia]

I love watching Japanese matches because of the enthusiasm they show. Doesn't hurt that this match is one of the more exciting ones i've seen :D

[@CodyRockLee13]

WOW... that was amazing. @___@ Truly the best of the best right there...

[@trizizzle032]

i love the parry system it turns every hit into a liability

[@crashl117]

The chanting is a feature in Yun and Yang games. Really gets you in the 3rd strike mood!

[@jerom147]

never played this game, i missed out big time. real good matches

[@TheDeejay01]

That Yun is obscenely beast like. I've never seen a yun player play that good, and that Ken was very skilled too. Very good match

[@iamber34]

Now this is what a good Yun player is all about. It's fights like these that make me respect the SFIII characters, much like how I respect the SFII characters.

[@dariustwin]

Yun's Genei-Jin make it so people fall like they'd been fully stunned after he's hit them, thus allowing crazy combos.

[@CeilingF4n]

Such high level play is such a joy to watch.

[@NathDrums]

It's not just the difficulty of parrying every hit. It's also the insane amount of pressure, with all those people watching, knowing that ONE hit and you will be dead.

[@h0td0g]

hi! can anyone tell me why did daigo cancle the superart into a shoryuken in the last mtach?

[@ThunderousWrath]

Great matches!

[@PekinVN]

Amazing!

[@cssplayer91]

holy shit, that was pretty epic

[@FiveGates]

If you paid close attention, he did. The first hit of his SA traded with Yang's low FK.

[@WHATISUTUBE]

@GamesPlayer1 Whatev. Still is pretty cool to have your own squad. I need to get me one.

[@SoloDoloLopez]

That`s some damn good Street Fighter right there.

[@mx0670]

Deshiken is just amazing. I wish my Ken was like his. Yellow Ken FTW!

[@toemaetoe]

Special cancel lol. I was confused at first too. Look close, Daigo's first hit of his SA trades with Yun's kick and Daigo goes into a SRK right after.

[@HaoPK]

He can cancel his moves much faster, thus allowing him to juggle. Some moves also get more hits added (his lunge punch for example).

[@ShinerCCC]

What a great fight. Yun is really good. I am also wondering what happened to Ken's SA at the end, I didn't see him get hit out of it

[@JediKnight313]

@ Pine1010 - SFIII 3rd Strike takes lots of skill parrying and using the wide variety of new available moves (ex: Ryu's side kick and Ken's overhead kicks).

[@PrinceShion]

Street Fighter 4 is the Brawl of the Street Fighter series.

[@JediKnight313]

He did imitate, that was a good prediction on that round.

[@shiryu22]

If anyone doesn't believe me, go into training and try it. Record the super from the initial position, then playback and try to parry it. Remember, press forward AFTER the super starts - not during. When I was learning how to do it, I always pressed it too early.

[@newborn605]

LMAO Its so funny when the crowds goes "Wooooaaaaahhhhhh... Wooooaaaaahhhhhh..." XD

[@kanopopo]

This game looks frggn sick !

[@dragonlord68]

@Badguy260 which is also "coincidentally" when projectiles weren't such a huge part of the game outside of combo linking

[@des9206]

ha awesome match bro. daigo's perfect was nice!

[@Itsallover57]

if i ever feel like watching some top tier street fighter i watch third strike.

[@juliankuy]

can't wait for sf3 online edition!

[@Spoc1012]

ah one of the best street fighters. wish they would remake it and put it on psn and xbox live

[@dacbiet]

Damn, Daigo always put up a good show.

[@ilovesmashbros]

What was the name of the technique daigo did at 2:20 (the golden hurricane kick)? I've been trying to get the name of it for hella long. And how do u do it? can someone please tell me. Thanks.

[@Rajibu]

AWESOME FIGHT...their skills are close to one another

[@BHSNgamer]

@Spoc1012 Seth Killian was quoted as saying "A lot of people want SF3 to be given the HD treatment, granted it has so many frames of movement it might take a while."

[@Razor921]

Do that, it's really awesome, very smooth animations, great gameplay, even though i miss some of the original characters the new ones are great (Yun and Yang ftw)

[@ShiroiKarasu634]

ive got this package from playstation play but i dont know were Gill is ? oO were can i find him ?

[@fayrunr]

@tiend15 yeah, I remember whn I was in mexico, i just to went to play this game in a machine and everyone would watch its jjust great and you enjoy to watch and play

[@frankie442]

To Katlunazul. It wasn't 2006, but 2004. And it wasn't just any Chun-Li player. It was Justin Wong.

[@CtrlAltDaLEET]

THIS OWNS SF4

[@yubbone]

The parry system just made this game too cheap at high level play, but it'll definitely always be amazing to witness these expert matches.

[@xRick37x]

King of parry dude.

[@Te4RHyP3]

over there in crazy old japan, for a while whenever someone would use yun's SA3 in a heated battle, they shout AYE AYE AAAYYYEEE for the amount of juggle hits yun can keep his opponent in the air for. The longer the combo the louder they get.

[@Daigotsu]

This made me laugh. Thanks.

[@Gameuurr]

@Tokeupbro Actually, in major tournaments such as EVO, Daigo always stuck with Ken for 3rd Strike. He never competed with Yun. When AE released in arcades in Japan, that's when he started playing Yun aggressively.

[@XD0002]

0:16-0:22 that was a beutiful Lock

[@TheDonaldduck911]

holy shit that yun is amazing. It's almost like he's dancing!!

[@Lucastic]

Insane!

[@elvampe13]

No wait, if you pay attention, that last super that Ken (Daigo) did was actually STOPPED by Yun's kick. Daigo didn't cancel his super.

[@MastersF3]

ya they did say that. atleast for any iterations of 4

[@SpoonOfHawaii]

that was a great match

[@Top10AnimeBetrayals]

3rd Strike is so fun

[@Hey-everyone526]

@Shigurekorada no it's also coming for PS3

[@Tobiash87]

@honeypower I sure does :) I love animations and fighting system of 3rd Strike.

[@rielax04]

@Badguy260 well in 3rd strike, you cant spam a hadouken coz the hadouken is slow here and also can be parried!

[@joebojito]

no one invincible.

[@gakkerout]

I love the parry system, it is exactly what DoA's reversals should have been. Some DoA characters do catch and push away attacks, rather than drain 1/4 of their life bar, but it's rare. I also loke SF3's speed, I hated "new faster gameplay" from turbo, as it is, SF3 is great.

[@Love-Sensibility]

I just played DOA and omg, them hard as heck. I don't even set the level to difficulty tho. The characters are very versatile man. I love playing as Ryu

[@ZhangHe2369]

although 2k4 is remembered for the ultra parry by daigo, remember that ko got first place!

[@ryodragoon]

KO has to be one of the best Yuns ever, and to beat Daigo is crazy. I love the audience too. ay! ay! ay! ay! ay! ay! aww...

[@KennethMoreland]

That Yun is just awesome

[@thimy69]

i forgot to notice the date update of the Kespa rankings : 1st December 2009.

[@GRRAB]

daigo's real name is Diego Umeharez, he's a mexican guy from LA and KO is his cousin.

[@h0td0g]

thanks alot for the ans!

[@darpachief]

wow....what a game and these players did it justice

[@Shylu787]

You just gotta love the chat everytime daigo uses the special " uo uo uo EH EH EH AH AH awwwwwwwwwwww.... "

[@meze9563]

KO used his special. Daigo used Ken, and lost to KO at EVO 2003 3rd Strike and EVO 2004 3rd strike.

[@MastaRyu]

Martin L. King once said "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their Ken but by the hit-confirmation of their character"

[@Rayndeon]

Yun is top tier, and has been since the game came out.

[@HaoPK]

It's an EX Hurricane Kick, in mid-air. Just jump forwards, QCB + KK

[@Exhuman]

Please let me know in which game Chun-Li's legs looked good.

[@RAEN74]

oh man that ending was so close...fought to the end DIAGO is awsome

[@thecool702]

@ReaIized they are, they're just in the arcade version.

[@mccoy11111989]

OH PERFECT!

[@psgokhan]

First match...That second round...Holy shit...

[@youngbrabbit]

and then daigo proved why he was my favorite player with that 13 SECOND PERFECT! wow!

[@valak00]

That was nice. Now I understand why Yun is top tier.

[@campo91]

that was an epic yun.

[@Jordan3445]

whats the street fight game thats 2d when ken has long hair?

[@Kratos94nb]

wow perfect

[@Plagueflea]

Man I've hated Diago so much after he beat Justin, he was totally outplayed, so now I love to see videos of him losing. :)

[@AcidGlow]

nice

[@XBUGMANX]

@Badguy260 umm.... that's because in this game you move faster so you can get around fire balls.
