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

[@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

[@bigbthefluffyredneck3523]

Coming in 11 years late to the party, but you only need lvl 2 Frank in order to use the dodge ability, lvl 3 is when he gets access to the funny face crusher anti-air hyper.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@sunbro7853]

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

[@StrokesKT]

xDDD

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

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

[@legalprofessor]

Justin Wong's reaction @ 5:48 is priceless

[@Khann_2102]

Pog

[@mcgee1018]

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

[@Ohadra]

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

[@mori-7090]

Is that you Joe?

[@ぷーちんぷーちん]

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

[@ブライト大佐-t1s]

勝ち確だったから許されたみたいな話聞いたけどどうなんかな

[@n67637]

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

[@TheTankTN]

I love that Kusoru plays this way no matter what game

[@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

[@MikaelBetancourt]

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

[@wanderingharlow6305]

I heard that in Yipes' voice.

[@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.

[@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.

[@UnorthodoxStyle68]

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

[@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

[@knowbodysupreme4141]

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

[@Anonym_us27]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@blu3mp40]

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

[@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

[@lupinyonsei]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@SeeKOnes]

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.

[@shangurila7]

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

[@Skoompyyy]

部洲居 Combofiend?

[@KillaSmit20789]

Dkhari Davis shut your mouth

[@theequalizer694]

Great way to go out honestly

[@cristianmunozc.9730]

The best umvc3 video IMHO.

[@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

[@SilkyLew]

This guy is the true MVP lol

[@markrozing]

c.lewis He is da REAL MVP

[@cabdragon333]

The hype during this era was INSANE!

[@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

[@Skoompyyy]

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).

[@Skoompyyy]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@EmphasisOnJ]

This was 11 years ago it feels like yesterday

[@qarkei264]

This will never get old

[@chuck_jotsugaming6755]

7 years later this is still insane

[@GambitYuGiOh]

Man to be in the room during this moment was special

[@TheMilo246]

Anyone else come back to this classic?

[@iAmRie47]

10 damn years ago man time flies

[@brentisapirate]

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

[@Wariowaftfart]

this is possibly the best match of umvc3 to date.

[@Pandaman64]

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

[@Yoloslides]

And thus, Phoenix tech was born?

[@TrixTrix228]

2:42 That there is the face of NOPE!

[@furytash]

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

[@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.

[@avprox777]

Easily one of the top 10 hype moments for MvC3!

[@BlakDragon1]

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

[@blahblahblah38847]

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

[@in_vas_por8810]

This man changed the game. Actually Kusoru paused it and champ was trying to take the win rofll

[@neiljourdanlozano7425]

po

[@Liev04]

8 years man, jesus time pass so fast

[@Toy.Gimmick]

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

[@HarukaMorishima]

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

[@tw1steDcr4K]

HOW CAN FCHAMP GET MAD AT THAT MATCH AHAHA :D

[@Tesomanjarvi]

That was pretty fuckin AWESOME!! :D Ageojoe is such a funny guy too :P

[@XtraCrispy]

Thank for upload this Teamspooky! best tournament ever!

[@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

[@SomethingWong]

You know its a hype moment when the mic goes out.

[@T651]

gotta love when the sound cuts off CAUSE SO MUCH HYPEEEEEEEEEE

[@StanTVXD]

MAN THIS IS STILL THE BEST THING EVER

[@TraumaER]

*Any video that FChamp loses in is a video worth adding to Favorites. I don't know, that's just how I was raised...*

[@Joesenfrozen]

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

[@icebeam23860]

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

[@JacobSReeds]

So he inched forward onto the trap as Champ was flying away. The teleport behind put him too close to even crouching light, gets caught unaware he was so close, and dies for it. Very very very smart play.

[@delfinogarcia5047]

Una estrategia bien planteada, el tamaño de Rocket evitaría fácilmente los poderes de fénix, para hacerle daño tenía que acercarse a fuerzas

[@AbsoluteDash21]

The hype on this one is so damn gigantic the mic can't even survive it!

[@KinetiK001]

@hogtownbro he immediately x-factored then did a roll. The roll has invincibility meaning you can't get hit when Phoenix transforms. He then immediately did the super offering no way out for Phoenix. If he had done anything differently (meaning not x-factor, not roll, not super), it wouldn't have worked and Joe would've lost. It was just a genius strategic play that no one saw coming.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I miss Kusoru.

[@e69alpha]

Shows up. Levels our pro players. Disappears.

[@jonathanmontalvo1513]

2:39 🔥🔥🔥

[@PadMasher]

That's what he gets for picking Phoenix.

[@larsattack]

If you look closely, at 5:40 his plan was to set the trap, teleport behind, and then push block Dark Phoenix into it. SO FUCKING SMART

[@wavesofbabies]

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

[@Ryusuta]

2:43 - It's amazing how little it's pointed out: FChamp clearly tried to take the game because Akeo paused here. The TO's like "Nah, Dude. STFU." This insanely hype moment could have gone a much different way if FChamp had got his way.

[@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.

[@ozzygaming2463]

2020 still rewatching this

[@pupunoob]

Still one of my favorite videos of all time.

[@GooseDaPlaymaker]

Anyone know the game Kusoru is holding after the win? Amazing display of Marvel Tech! Hype!

[@danthewafflelord3059]

Sengoku Basara X

[@GooseDaPlaymaker]

@@danthewafflelord3059 Thanks!

[@AnguzBeef]

@Wisewind is it any good? :P

[@takebusface967]

Damn, 12 years ago.

[@MessengerOfEntertainment]

5:48 Justin looks so confused in the background. Lol

[@TheyCallMeMann]

The imagination in that combo to kill Dark Phoenix was amazing. That's on the fly intuitiveness. Amazing stuff Ageojoe

[@Bassey13455]

One of the best UMVC3 matches ever.

[@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.

[@LordFluffy]

Dammit man...Kuzsoru is fucking Smart as fuck. this guy Is a bloody Marvel Genious

[@zaqqaz]

One of the hypest moments in UMVC3.

[@Metallica995987]

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

[@mfkeeki5402]

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

[@KuloGaming]

also daigos evo parry!

[@JusRed48]

If I could go back in time I would just make it so that mics for this and Evo 2011 were better so the noise didn't cut out on the end of this game and the one where Rog grabbed Viscant's Phoenix.

[@christianpaz7751]

I really wish I was there in person. The crowd looks so live!

[@spectreknights]

Its 2022... i remember the good old days

[@nakamajoyboy6338]

Fchamp reaction .....unpossible

[@rmnhn]

Key-Andre Joyeux Yes, “unpossible”... 🙄

[@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!!!

[@krits]

1:15 lol, the annoucer "I've never seen anyone do good with rocket raccoon"

[@ラッコアリス]

当時ってクソル側のキャラって全部中間くらいのティアです？

[@ava4807]

多分全員弱い扱いを受けてた

[@drtyfvgublk5786]

キャラランクとは違うけど、クソル側使用キャラの雑感はこんな感じ。 1人目：ビューティフルジョー 小さい癖に標準的な体力を持ちつつ、持ち前の身軽さを活かした面倒な動きと高いシューティング能力がウリ。 ただその小ささ故にリーチが短いわ火力が伸びないわと魅せる事は出来ても倒すのは苦手だったり… なら機動力高くてシューティング能力も備えたマグニート使えばよくね？ 2人目：フランク・ウェスト 素の状態では特徴の無いただの弱キャラだが、Lvを上げていくとかなり強くなる。 逆に言えばLvが上がらないと貧弱そのもの、Lv1でそのまま退場なんて日常茶飯事。 だったらゲージさえ残していれば確実に変身してフランクより強くなるフェニックスでよくね？ 3人目：ロケットラクーン ペンデュラムこと"丸太"を筆頭に技は強くアシストとしては優秀ではあるが、 体力は最低クラス、リーチ短い、ゲージ依存率高めとかなり使いにくい。 正直これ使うならアシストも強いDrドゥーム練習すればよくね？ 因みに言うまでもない事かもしれんけど、Filipino Champの使用キャラは マグニート・フェニックス・Drドゥームの三人

[@uc0079scbyome]

中間ところがマークされていないマイナーキャラばっか、特にロケットは当時でもよっぽどのマーベルオタクでもなければアメリカでもなにこいつ?の扱い

[@PumpkinHead223]

umm.. 2:30 = YUM
