The most impressive thing about jwong is that he is just as gracious at losing as he is at winning. That's why he's one of my top favorites in the FGC. Always full of happiness and class.

I love how the commentator said "Let's go, Justin!" when Hayao started parrying Justin's super.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Because in the jp fgc, this action of full parrying a point blank Chun Li's super 2 is traditionally called "let's go Justin". I've heard different people saying it.

Finally the long awaited match against a 3S god of the highest possible ranks. Maybe it would be cool to keep track of how many different 3S gods you have fought recently. It's been great to follow this journey of facing fg gods in offline matches.

[@zackbalins658]

Great video. One of my favorite things about you JW is you give props to other great players and even just good players. Alot of fighting game players will never do this. Thanks man.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

I agree... but in this case Hayao is one of the 3S gods, and he is above Justin, so it's not that hard to compliment. It takes a very immature player to refuse compliment a 3S god. And at least from what ive seen i believe that when 3S players get in a certain superior rank they arent that much immature, jealous and salty about losses.

[@nicolasadjignon1336]

That grab at 11:55, I think I woke up my whole building screaming "WHOAAAA HAHAHAHA MY GOOOOOD" that was nuts

The Hugo match IS free for Chun unless you are playing the very best Hugos in the world. This is crazy to watch. This dude makes Hugo look strong.

Yeah, Hayao was super famous back then. He's also a hilarious person, I love that guy

[@lhfirex]

Hayao is all over the 3rd STRIKE channel on youtube (not lately of course, because of EVO) so I've seen him make Chuns shit their pants for awhile. It's really fun seeing how the JP arcade players react to so many different matchups. And how so many of them play chars that aren't the top tier.

[@mikesweet9991]

THE PANTS. DON'T. RIP.

[@mechajintsu]

Bro! Thank you for this. Hayao is my favorite. Thanks for pointing out that even though Hayao is a 720 rocks star, he has godlike footsies and it’s part of the game plan against Chun especially crouching MK is mad far.

[@leandraoam]

YES! I've been waiting to see if you got the chance to play Hayao, one of my favorite players of all time. Thank you for sharing more amazing 3rd Strike action with us, my favorite Street Fighter of all.

[@floristov]

Watching this level of Hugo is so refreshing! The funny thing is, J. Wong actually fought really well, and looses 5-0.

You can’t fight well for a 7-3 match like chun and huge. You’re just fighting normal.

[@StrangelyIronic]

Hayao treating that super like 1 button spd. People don't realize how difficult it was to get proper 720s to come out with a window (large normal animation to keep you grounded), doing one off a short or less is insane.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Hayao makes it look like he unlocked a secret "modern controls" cheat code in 3S or something like that

Who wants a rematch after #38?

[@retro_jandro7530]

That was insane! Japanese players really know how to humble you lol.

[@r1konTheAutomator]

11:45 - I always heard that everybody told you to throw an ex fireball first - the thing about the parry system in 3s is that it auto parries two hits if they are really close together. So he probably didn't have to do any extra inputs to make that work. Same reason why Remy's ex booms, which spits out two, only need to be parried standing once. So I think most likely that doesn't make it any harder. But..my man started the whole process with a red parry. A fuckin red parry.

[@bluewolf8873]

That “hell yeah why wouldn’t I?” To the the making someone salty question was from his soul 😂

[@aspreedacore]

@11:45 this is the most disrespectful parry i've ever seen, also his crossup 360's are insane

[@Deamons64]

The second i saw hugo, i knew exactly who we were gonna see. Dude is insane. If i remember correctly he got a double perfect on Max once. (Edit: as a reply pointed out, the guy who doubled max was Onogai, my bad.)

[@TheFishman123]

lol, no that was onogai

[@spman2099]

I mean, Max is good at Third Strike, but he would still just be a glorified pot monster in a real tournament.

[@jmrivero1910]

Getting a double perfect on Max is nothing considering we are talking about tournament level players lol

[@gold6813]

Max is a c rank player on fightcade or low b rank at!his prime. Good content creator though

[@naejimba]

This is... insane. I don't watch a ton of SFIII, but this is the best Hugo play I've ever seen by a wide margin.

[@devilsephiroth9000]

Here's a little known fact about 3rd strike it's one of those if you know you know. Everyone knows about buffering in the game where you buffer a directional input before you press the button, but what is also a thing is you can save a buffer! Yes the game registers preloaded buffers, So @13:18 where Hugo magically 720 super without any buffer what hayao is doing is he's doing one 360 buffer, the game saves it and then does another 360 and presses punch, only then does the game recognize the super, this is called a standing 720 or 'standing gigas'. The game saved the first 360° input so when the 2nd was immediately entered it didn't count as a normal 360° throw. The 1st 360° input was during medium punch, the 2nd was during standing neutral position. Also pay attention in the gameplay whenever Chun-Li came close to Hugo with a full bar, you would notice Hugo slightly glitching moving left to right and ducking, that was Hayao inputting a 360° pre buffer, so that the next one would be a 720° if needed.

[@24framedavinci39]

Seriously. A lot of people feel robbed when someone rage quits in a ranked match. Not me. The taste of that salt is worth way more than points.

[@Destroyah5000]

Had to watch this for more standing Roundhouse action.

[@gasasmk]

Hayao is a beast. SBO3 is still my favorite 3S tournament ever, and he was BEASTING there.

[@gamerstimes127]

You see Justin, you are not dealing with the average Hugo player anymore

[@petr79]

playing the game via emulation, input lag and online is very different than playing it on an actual arcade board with crt monitor and no input lag. Especially the older fighting games suffer from this at high level play.

[@5TailFox]

I think he was using Hugo's "Clap" more as a means to move forward without having to overly commit himself by jumping, than to build meter. The fact it does build meter is incidental.

[@Xerroc22]

Sheesh. The hurt box on that leg at the end. I could never pull that off without some serious work, and even then... not consistently

[@Jaydo]

Not claiming to be anywhere near as good as Hayao, but I've been doing gigas breakers off of parries/dashes for years and always wondered why Hugo never had a player put him in the spotlight. Hayao showing how much further you can take Hugo this many years later is crazy! I originally started playing Hugo because I found that full circles came out way more consistently on janky/broken joysticks at arcades than other moves. Once you're able to flick them out fast it's pretty easy to 360/720 on any machine/stick. Then you just practice holding different directions then flicking them out, and you can walk->throw/parry->throw/block->throw consistently. At that point the time you have to buffer circles starts feeling enormous.

[@GentlemanQ]

As a Q player i feel way safer fighting a makuto than fighting an A ranked Hugo on fightcade, those guys are nasty. I be dashing out of the corner the moment they try to jump on me. What are you supposed to do against a hugo in the corner!???
