UMVC3 Tournament - Filipino Champ vs Kusoru Ageojoe - Final Round XV

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Feature Match coL.CC Filipino Champ (Magneto Doctor Doom Phoenix) vs FRB Kusoru Ageojoe (Viewtiful Joe Frank West Rocket Racoon) - Final Round XV - Road to Evo 2012

[@VoidStar.]

I still come back to this video just because of the pure hype that Kusoru instilled in that room when he dodge-rolled and Mega-Man anti-air Super'd Dark Phoenix transformation. Hype so loud the mic cut out from the noise. So awesome.

[@dgodoom]

That's exactly what I'm doing now haha

[@pupunoob]

And I'm back here again. I think I watch this a few times a year. Love that moment. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

[@Renjii44]

Jessey Bowman years later and I still watch this every now and again I just love this video!! One of my favourite fighting game moments for sure!

[@markcrosby1939]

This video and the one when filipino goes agianst iheartjustice with the guy dressed like spiderman commentating, ill never forget haha.

[@ivrydice0954]

He stashed the mic in the servebot head

[@user-vt8qm7lz5v]

ポーズ押しちゃったのに許してくれるの優しすぎるだろ…大会だから正直なかったことにしたかっただろうに、この状況で許せるのは真の強さだ

[@Umbra528]

Is that you Joe?

[@user-zw4tc9cc7s]

技入ってからだからあんまり関係ないんだよね だとしても許してくれるのは優しい

[@Fojar38]

Ageojoe dominated this tournament because he did things that nobody expects. Everyone has played against a Wesker/Magneto/Dr. Doom team a billion times in North America but nobody knows what the heck to do when confronted with Viewtiful Joe or Rocket Raccoon. Kudos to that winning strategy.

[@gnelson7225]

A huge advantage of using low tiers in any fighting game, lots of tech your opponent is not used to or might not even know. Feel like everyone should have some low tiers on the side just to throw off some opponents

[@spiritfired]

Fav part 2:40: "X Factor 3 to get away? What's he go-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!" So hype the mic BROKE!! LOL!!

[@ericl9781]

spiritfired still one of the classic commentator moments ever in the FGC

[@theonewhojustis6541]

it 2020 and i came back just to hear this part lmao

[@GCLU]

at lv3 or higher, Frank gains a mostly invincible roll which can be used to "cancel" out of certain moves in order to make them less punishable. He x-factored in order to cancel the ending lag of the shopping cart super, used the roll to escape the fire that comes out when Phoenix transforms, and well used the air super

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

This is probably one of the best technologies in UMVC3. Too good!

[@burgersfordays]

The phoenix moment was actually more complicated than it might appear. Both the roll and the Funny Face Crusher needed a level 3 frank for it to be available. At 1:51 Frank had 13 points to level him up to level 2. He needed 7 more points for the level 3. He BARELY made it at 2:37 with the 8 hit combo which is RIGHT BEFORE the Dark Phoenix rising. Beautiful play if i do say so myself.

[@legalprofessor]

Justin Wong's reaction @ 5:48 is priceless

[@Khann_2102]

Pog

[@mcgee1018]

"X-factor to try to get away? whats he got? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

[@sunbro7853]

I come back to this every now and again. I love the hype Joe had!

[@StrokesKT]

xDDD

[@frankwest9996]

Kusoru was definitely ahead of his time

[@teamspooky]

100% Agree he had some beast tech no one had seen before.

[@xshobux]

Such a hype moment with Frank! Love coming back to this video

[@ShaneusSnake]

Give me Evo moment vibes. Legendary.

[@Yajeeb]

Bruh, that Joe/Frank/Rocket duo was hilarious and Awesome😂🤣 who the hell would get upset after witnessing such awesomeness?? That match was nothing short of Entertaining,Strategic and Epic!

[@manalost7]

Honestly though, i have watch this fight countless time already and it still got me everytime ........ like "DAmnnnn!" that's soooo good. I believe that any other players and champ himself till this day still cannot bring themselves to get mad at kusoru in this match. He pull off the epic shit not once but twice...... Well deserve win.

[@n67637]

How can you not love Ageojoe? Even F.Champ lost with a smile on his face TWICE.

[@nuraby_9228]

I love the mental image of Dark Phoenix getting tossed around with a servebot helmet stuck on her head

[@ShaneusSnake]

By a middle aged photographer no less LOL

[@UnorthodoxStyle68]

I've watched this match close to 20 times and every time it finishes I am smiling.

[@MrFrostieBalls]

Holy cow.... This has to be one of the best matches I have ever seen. That technology is just crazy!

[@TheTankTN]

I love that Kusoru plays this way no matter what game

[@MikaelBetancourt]

Champ was like "YO HE PRESSED PAUSE, dats hella cheap dawg"

[@wanderingharlow6305]

I heard that in Yipes' voice.

[@bizcut]

I can't believe this is 3 years old, I still get the feelz when I watch those Phoenix counters

[@birdnest89]

+bizcut ikr back then this blew my mind and it kinda still does.

[@XxsharpdressedmanxX]

5 years old now

[@bizcut]

holy I saw your comment just now, I just came back to watch this AGAIN ****KUSORU4EVER****

[@Maggotbone]

Almost 9 years now, still fresh as hell

[@TM-tn2jj]

Kusoru shits today too

[@blu3mp40]

This has to be the most explosive match I've ever seen. Much love to the Japan players and Japan.

[@iPoW4o8]

3 years later and i remember watching this on stream. Lol Japanese tech will always entertain me

[@osmiv6663]

One of the first anti phoenix techs I had seen, I was blown the fuck away, still to this day I come back to see this, thanks AGEOJOE.

[@Eldon_is_The_Best]

Kusoru got thru Champ, Combofiend, Mihe, Flocker, Yipes and PR Rog in this tournament. Impressive and fun to watch.

[@cristianmunozc.9730]

The best umvc3 video IMHO.

[@Aurkus23]

I love how everyone is good spirited about this match, it really was one hype match those two dark Phoenix kills were just crazy!

[@knowbodysupreme4141]

This man changed the entire tier list in 1 match. Legendary

[@Anonym_us27]

As much as i enjoyed this match. No he didnt.

[@xxNightxTrainxx]

This is the kinda fighter I look up to. The kind that says "Fuck tiers" and takes people out with the "weaklings" of the game. Seriously, the simply fact that you so rarely see Viewtiful Joe, Rocket Racoon, and Frank West gives you and advantage because so few people know what their tactics are and even few know how to counter it.

[@qarkei264]

This will never get old

[@EmphasisOnJ]

This was 11 years ago it feels like yesterday

[@lupinyonsei]

5:36 kusoru attempts to push block phoenix into trap... that would have been sick if it worked

[@HarukaMorishima]

Love you Teamspooky and the 720p quality. Always superb!!!

[@ark9269]

The greatest upset in all of fighting games. The fact that KUSOLU won this tournament in the first place would have been legendary in many ways

[@GambitYuGiOh]

Man to be in the room during this moment was special

[@birdnest89]

man i miss those days when marvel was really fun to watch :(

[@moltenlava6684]

still is

[@AngelPerez-og6mo]

Not nearly as much anymore no fun characters to watch anymore the same ones over and over soon Vergil zero Dante it gets old seeing the same combos

[@ddkhari7]

Angel Perez their is that one dude from Mexico who plays Captain America and Modok

[@cheesesteakphilly]

Angel Perez I agree. It's always Doom, Virgil and another boring character on point (Wolverine, Dante, etc).

[@ddkhari7]

cheesesteakphilly Mote variety as of late Frosty Tournament a Chun Li player won

[@XtraCrispy]

Thank for upload this Teamspooky! best tournament ever!

[@furytash]

First marvel match i've watched in a while,glad i did.

[@blahblahblah38847]

I love when there's a hype explosion and the sound just bites it

[@Marceles45]

You've gotta admit, when someone gets the best of F. Champ and shows him some cool stuff, he's not as salty as most players get

[@iAmRie47]

10 damn years ago man time flies

[@pupunoob]

Still one of my favorite videos of all time.

[@chuck_jotsugaming6755]

7 years later this is still insane

[@SilkyLew]

This guy is the true MVP lol

[@markrozing]

c.lewis He is da REAL MVP

[@avprox777]

Easily one of the top 10 hype moments for MvC3!

[@Redfield253]

2:40 Me and my friends were there watching this live online. No words can describe the hype this stunt brought to the house.

[@Pandaman64]

Its been a decade. I don't even play marvel. But this match is so good, I came back to watch it.

[@Wariowaftfart]

this is possibly the best match of umvc3 to date.

[@yourstillwithme]

its absolutely amazing how much the meta has changed and the way marvel is played now. "Frank west is a very strong character" "leveld up frank west is probably one of the best characters in the game" the game evolved soooo much.

[@THE_BASED_GOD]

Level 4/5 frank is still probably top 5-10. Problem is you only really had readman(fizzycups) putting the time and traveling in.

[@THE_BASED_GOD]

As the other guy said it comes down to how much you need to invest to be able to get level 4/5. Level 5 Frank is extremely strong, especially paired with Dante Jam Session assist. Its just not worth it to need to craft your emtire team around Frank when you could just run like Vergil anchor and ez wipe a whole team with level 3 x in 15 seconds. Also the only other Frank West main i can even think of that didnt move on from the character was the Canadian player BBall? But as far as i remember he didnt travel much and i only really saw him play Canada Cup. No idea if he still plays.

[@MrBranh0913]

I was there in person, and even this video can't capture how much hype was in the room far after that frank west setup. Everyone literally got out their seats and started cheering

[@shangurila7]

It is such a shame that Kusoru stopped playing Marvel after this tournament. He was the hypest player to watch - ever.

[@ddkhari7]

部洲居 Combofiend?

[@KillaSmit20789]

Dkhari Davis shut your mouth

[@TheMilo246]

Anyone else come back to this classic?

[@brentisapirate]

That roll cancel phoenix killer, is maybe my favourite moment of UMvC3 ever.

[@Gallon]

Very great match!! I love Rocket Raccoon!! XD looks like when Kusoru Ageojoe set the first trap, Filipino Champ knew it was there but when he super jumped out of it Kusoru Ageojoe set another one closer to him and Filipino Champ never noticed it. XD Great match!!!

[@Liev04]

8 years man, jesus time pass so fast

[@BlakDragon1]

That anti-Phoenix maneuver with Frank West was sooooooooo sick. He can cover wars AND the face of limitless power!

[@cabdragon333]

The hype during this era was INSANE!

[@StanTVXD]

MAN THIS IS STILL THE BEST THING EVER

[@Bassey13455]

One of the best UMVC3 matches ever.

[@smokermvc]

una de las mejores peleas de MVC3 que he visto

[@wavesofbabies]

Even if it was best 2/3, still one of my favourite marvel matches ever played. Maybe just fighting game match in general.

[@Metallica995987]

i saw this one live but it is still so awesome to watch again. That guy got some skils

[@T651]

gotta love when the sound cuts off CAUSE SO MUCH HYPEEEEEEEEEE

[@Yoloslides]

And thus, Phoenix tech was born?

[@mfkeeki5402]

6 years later and this is still the greatest thing ive ever seen

[@KuloGaming]

also daigos evo parry!

[@ozzygaming2463]

2020 still rewatching this

[@icebeam23860]

Where can I see the rest of the commentary at the end of this video? Loving the reaction

[@sasara875783]

2:49　後ろの観客たちが「おい！なんだ今の！？」って驚いてるもんな

[@spectreknights]

Its 2022... i remember the good old days

[@Joesenfrozen]

JamesChen and Ultradavid. The commentate on the most famous events of the FGC like Evo

[@FranciscoShreds]

@daihaksu that's why you're playing a keep away game. use mag to blow up racoon full screen. dorms large hitbox makes people trigger happy, hell probably more trigger happy once you have log assist. use that to bait log and counter call mag assist and you can stuff log before it comes out. and dorm just blows up joe if all joe is doing is super and double/triple jumps while fishing. just throw out a run ball and do pillar/black holes with doom miss and chip away.

[@AnguzBeef]

@Wisewind is it any good? :P

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I miss Kusoru.

[@ispsagel50]

@Nekros4442 From the sound of it, I'm guessing he was using HRAP VA 3 since the start button can be pressed accidentally during a match especially when you mash in this game.

[@PumpkinHead223]

umm.. 2:30 = YUM

[@71mb0o]

Definitely the best match at FR just for those comebacks.

[@danielbangura7424]

What game did he show up to the camera at the end

[@shorty235z]

Mind = Blown...

[@Jun3bugger]

I can't stop watching this..

[@ImperfectD]

@hogtownbro He used Frank West Super which has a bit of invincibility to avoid Phoenix's explosion effect during her transformation which canceled it and allowed him to capture her for the win. Something never seen round these parts.

[@savageleonidas]

Still watching this video in 2021!

[@TrixTrix228]

2:42 That there is the face of NOPE!

[@biolord666]

I just...I can't even....MIND BLOWN!

[@Peetizzle]

can someone explain what happened @2:40 ? I hear them explaining the gameplay itself, but the pause? Was it a bug? Who paused? Why was there so much confusion in the room?

[@zaqqaz]

One of the hypest moments in UMVC3.

[@viridianarios4842]

Which game kusoru shows at the end?

[@TheEliteHavoc]

That was the BEST Frank West that Ive seen. Shopping cart X-Factor cancel into the roll then Level 3 hyper combo cancel, Brilliant.

[@CGoldV]

The most amazing tech ive seen on frank to date! wow

[@Timzy921]

Thanks.

[@Toy.Gimmick]

Three of Marvel's most powerful characters defeated by a log, net, and a shopping cart.

[@muskra66]

Watching this Battle made my day !!!!!!!!!!

[@AnimeMemesz]

Easily the most entertaining match of the event

[@user-lh3pr6jy1y]

どくらさんが魂キャラでクソルさん、紹介してたので見に来た勢

[@user-sq6ko8xw3t]

同じくですわー

[@kyomufumo]

2:42 これを機に色んな人たちがダークフェニックス対策を生み出したんだよな

[@randyman67789]

Ageo matches are HYPE

[@Daywalker78]

Sickest match I've seen inna while, good shit by Ageo Joe!

[@lancelot6696]

This hype is awesome

[@nycityisme]

still dope!!!

[@jonathanmontalvo1513]

5:34 Filipino champ's face is the most epic moment ever in the history on UMVC3 !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Khann_2102]

Justin Wong as well in the background pogging

[@Chugi]

What's that game he holds up in front of the camera at the end and why is he doing it?

[@Stormy5430]

Ageojoe really represented here. Sad thing though is that he will not be back anytime soon.
