The Best of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike at Evo 2024

[@Ryhan_Beard]

Hayao may not have won the entire tournament, but was easily THE highlight of the whole thing. Such a character.

[@CLxJames]

Living his best life

[@N02tradamus]

People's champ

[@holyelixir4580]

Daigo also lost in Grand finals after Evo moment 37 but almost no one remembers KO

[@sowhodecidedthat3924]

He created Evo Moment 38!

[@brizjoasbriz7982]

You know he's good when he used a useless move to win the fight

[@ultraferal6138]

Watching Hayao live was legitimately surreal. Every time he hit an irl taunt I feel like everyone in the vicinity took 4d20 psychic damage. Incredible showman (41 year old man too) and his stuff and the skill in general just speaks to how awesome third strike is. It’s been 25 years and people are still playing and that’s incredible.

[@kinsmanne98]

Hayao is my actual hero and this year just cemented it holy shit what a showman i love him

[@doq]

11:23 is what you're really here for

[@phil4863]

We love you man

[@eduardobcb]

❤

[@igawajouato]

I felt that all the participants had a love for this game.

[@TheAwasoray]

Never tired seeing Hayao-San antics & masterclass performance😂

[@arctor99]

Alex Valle using Twelve!?? Crazy but awesome

[@gold6813]

He's on fightcade S rank. Demolishing some other top USA players secondary characters too.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Valle's been using Twelve for a while now, I remember him using Twelve back in like 2012.

[@derekschon314]

Twelve is such a cool character to watch in action! It's too bad not too many people play him since he's considered low tier...

[@N02tradamus]

Can't believe I saw Alex Valle still at it. So cool

[@rainxcat]

Hayao's Hugo is Monster!!! love his playing style !!~

[@sobbles6242]

this was the hypest event this year, BRING IT BACK NEXT YEAR EVO PLS. WE NEED MORE THIRD STRIKE!!!!!!!

[@JenovaDreamweaver]

i love hearing the crowd going "AY" every time a Genji Jin juggle happens

[@ChrisStriker]

Hayao may not have won here and left in 4th place, but he won something that not many people usually win...a place in our hearts.

[@KailamiMwiinga]

Imagine Capcom management learning that a game they made over 20 years got more hype than their latest release

[@daranyillh6446]

Tbf a lot of the hype comes from the game's legacy, and 6 hasn't been out long enough to really have one

[@Senshi00]

SF 6 is a joke.

[@Sabretooth-Biggavel]

Because it's not the same capcom, those ppl were let go and instead DEI agenda heres were brought in Sf6 is like what AI thinks would be hip for the kids to play

[@satsuinohamon4777]

Is that a Dio pose ? Wryyy!!!!!!!! Hayao san , great job👍

[@kalamander8563]

Hayao's antics on stage just prove the theory that Hugo mains are built different

[@fgcfighter-eb3uq]

the low tier kick that make history!

[@itsmechriswong]

hayao never left the world of street fighter III - so what's it gonna be?

[@KatsudonNeet]

After the competition was over, many photos on Twitter made it look like Hayao was the champion😂 Nevertheless, I am still very happy and somewhat proud that MOV won😊

[@hacksignify]

I'll be the first to say Hayao's performance was the best part of the show, but there's something so iconic about MOV holding up his arm after winning.

[@Khinh-xq6lx]

hayao just turned into hugo boss

[@smam6767]

At 11:30 you can hear the flashbacks in justin’s voice 😭😭

[@elijahmodnar1]

RED parry was missed at 0:42 , this needs a do-over!!

[@Dasmesee]

3rd Strike was more hype than SF6. Hayao is the most ELECTRIFYING player in the FGC!! 😁🙌👏👏🔥🔥

[@MrMonsterKen]

Don't be ridiculous, SF6 is still awesome.

[@ScoopsMayCry]

Everyone wishes they had 1% of the aura that Hayao displayed

[@bluewolf8873]

Hayao’s energy is so addicting. I would love to play more people like him

[@boomershooterlegend]

Much more hype than SF6.

[@malcovich_games]

Even in an alternate timeline where it’s nothing but yun chun and ken in top 6? Yes.

[@stanosherkanor8416]

Third Strike was awesome at Evo in so many levels.

[@Saikyokugen]

Certified EVO MOMENT #38

[@markj3169]

#38 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

I’m more impressed he didn’t blow out his knees hitting them jojos poses

[@jakubbiay3893]

Okay, we all love Hayao, but how am I not seeing more talk about the finishing sequence at 18:16?! That was such a beautiful execution.

[@shwiegnutt]

This is everyday in japanese casuals.

[@Aspect8_5_2]

best quote "DON'T DO IT!"

[@menichellia]

Having Alex valles playing 12 is this best thing I've ever seen lamo

[@xyz39808]

Resolve's run was crazzzzy

[@yuriski1]

I hope Hayao had as much fun as he seemed to.

[@the_hiroman]

12:26 EVO MOMENT #38 a legend is born!

[@mateomateo1192]

Finally here before 1k views!

[@hubuna2]

Lets go Frankie

[@Alex_Wisses]

Once again! Street Fighter 3rd Strike (a game from 1999) saves an event! "the spectacle it puts on" we'll see if companies take note with the current products they're selling. EVO is getting boring more often than not.

[@nin5797]

0:42 The editor is pretty stupid, he didn't show the red parry, he literally didn't show the play

[@otakinho218]

Algum dia ainda vou participar da EVO

[@grizzlywhisker]

The Hugo wins against Ken were great.

[@CharlieBabbitt1988]

Hayao. King of Evo

[@erickquijije2955]

Hayao is the definition of a showman

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

The only game I watched this year, and its the only one people are still talking about. Long live 3S.

[@PomadaGaming]

8:52 triple heavy tackle btw

[@PomadaGaming]

10:40 brooooo 11:26 WHAAAAAA. That’s insane imagine being the ken 13:01 the standing 720 13:15 this guy is mad bro 16:35 ANOTHER GENEI JIN?? 16:49 W 18:15 that was insane

[@mニャンジャm]

This is Hayao, this is 3rd Strike!!!

[@mariotaz]

So good

[@fmega8609]

12:37 Justin's commentary: Not too much damage though! Can afford it! Elena's lifebar: am i a joke to you

[@sbastianbrilyanto4722]

MOV picking Chun-Li after Issei broke her with his Yun is a power move.

[@ebbramentigro4535]

What controller they use ?like they have an actual arcade controls

[@Azurada23rd]

THERE ARE NO WORTHLESS BUTTONS

[@oGR7o]

11:27 >

[@steevan]

Alex valle , twelve !? Wow

[@ginocarino]

Kudos Hayao

[@silviol398]

Hayao is the crowd champion!

[@gingeral253]

Hayao got no fear

[@CMCAdvanced]

I've never seen a man crouch so hard

[@ratfink2079]

Moment 38

[@tyranno62k]

0:24 song?

[@marcelosantospires4064]

It would be cool to have a "best play/moment" award with money involved, maybe elected by voting

[@mikey22355]

I miss street fighter 4 before they added red focus.

[@MrDust2011]

Sick of chun li.

[@jorgebermudez7861]

So a Chun Li vs Yun in the final match and Chun Li won. Big surprise.

[@saaah707]

na MOV's elena is just too fun

[@marcxiong8332]

Chi-Rithy should've won against Issei. So man dropped hit confirm SA

[@Longshot3181]

Mov was the EVO winner, but Hayao was MVP.

[@phil4863]

They should bring sfIII 2nd impact to Evo

[@heroninouye]

11:28 > Hayao #38 , you're welcome

[@vinja858]

U guys didn't even show the red parry! The red parry into a 720 is literally the hardest thing u can ever do in any fighting game EVER!

[@Rosamune]

hayao saved 3s top 6

[@mauriceboyland5407]

I'm a simple man. I see Hugo. I click on Hugo.

[@yt-qp1kq]

MOV won Hayao2024.

[@VGHistory1]

SF3 got immediately boring after Hayao was eliminated.

[@rvrmdude]

Grand Finals sucked. Especially after Hayao stole the show.

[@Kajichuu]

Too many people tryin to win with Joke characters haha, cool hugo made it so far but yeeeeaaah they weren't gonna take evo.

[@ポポイポポイ-k7o]

はやおのアピールはちょっとうざい

[@davion_4623]

Damn the elitism in this comment section is crazy lol. Yall love to shit on newer games more than playing the games u like lol. Watching 3rd strike was a fun time dont get me wrong but i was not thinking about how much better it is than other games or something lol.

[@0000-r2b]

lol what comments are you reading? I saw 1 comment making "fun" of sf6. No one cares what game anyone prefers. Heck I don't even play SF, but hype is hype.

[@GIN-KUN-EX]

I never really thought about which was more fun to watch until I got bored half way through sf6’s top 6. It’s not really elitism lol it’s just finding an older game more fun/ being disappointed with the current game

[@davion_4623]

@@GIN-KUN-EX yeah but I hop on to this vid and already see people saying "way more hype than sf6 lmao" I don't think alot of those people actually care about playing sf3, they just want it to be better than whatever is new

[@davion_4623]

@@0000-r2b sorry dude ive been on reddit too long and it has done perma damage to my personality lol

[@MrMonsterKen]

You're not wrong about this at all, not to mention the toxic entitlement. Respect, my man.
