My dream is that they hit us with a 3rd strike themed season with a similar announcer style

[@null-wq5cp]

Same could be said about alpha. Karin, Sakura and Cody alone generates so much popularity with two of them essentially being guarantees. Even Maki (Final Fight character introduced in a ported version of SFA) is heavily requested. There’s a reason why the base roster selection is SF2+Juri along with a practically SFV dlc bar Akuma. Only two series titles missing.

[@lordzooq8987]

Ik. Bring my boy dudley back ffs

[@Vlazeca]

Urien’s SFV design is so good. The clean cut suit belying his domineering competitive behavior, along with the option to burn the suit off when things get real? Yes please. God, he’s such a baddie.

[@CyberTiamat]

That’s actually what he has on in one of his fight start animations in third strike, and to this day it’s so fucking clean

[@ravaniphoenix5431]

I also particularly love the disconnect between him being presented as a brute mad man, through both his design, voice lines and adrenaline overflowing theme, but being the most big brain character to master in gameplay. You consider the prior three elements and you think he be big oonga boonga man the likes of Leo Whitefang, but he's the complete opposite of that. Even in lore he's actually a genius, being the one behind the Twelve experiments and all of that, but he still got that duality of being a bloodthirsty asshole. It's great.

[@jackpumpoen]

how the hell did you do that embed with leo. is that a feature now what

[@ravaniphoenix5431]

@@jackpumpoen Yeah, it's a KZbin feature they may randomly appear in a particularly word. It's not user controlled. KZbin just does it automatically for whatever reason. I don't even know the logic behind it, and in what words it may appear and when it may appear. But I think it's PC exclusive (currently on mobile), because on my end I'm not seeing it.

So, if I got it right, Urien: >excels at mid range with big pokes >requires high execution to get the most out of >has big damage and is good at comebacks >can perform unique and powerful unblockable setups >acts like a brute but actually takes a brain to use >is a buff, shirtless man with white hair Are you telling me he's just Street Fighter's version of Bryan Fury? Maybe I should try 3rd Strike...

[@MrMisfortune]

I never even thought of it that way lmfao. I play Bryan in Tekken as well, guess I've got a type

[@Cardboxx]

One of France's best Urien does play Bryan in tekken, so from a sample size of one it does track Search for Feetwork101 to find Dr Steelhammer's channel and his leaving mongolia/5 min set of videos to see if Urien would click with you. 3s is an amazing game, you should try it !

[@Neogears1312]

He’s actually blonde. That’s just him turning his hair metallic. On the flip side “is the only real chaotic evil villain” is also a trait they share at least.

[@neil352]

As an Urien main I agree

[@PUSHAPABLO]

I concur as well

[@InFernoLJ]

The sickest character ever. I’m really hoping for him in SF6

[@basketcaseface813]

[@TruGouki]

Urien became my 3rd favorite SF character during SFV's duration. His long normals, cool combos, aegis, st. Hp, and his immaculate drip. I need him in 6.

[@darksigma0282]

Don't play Urien that well but respect those that mastered him. He was a guy I used in SFV and basically helped me know my pokes and how to charge (the next one was Necalli). Ever since then, my gameplay has been crazier. And it's all thanks to funky aegis man

[@IronmonkeyXD]

[@Kite403]

I missed out on Urien in 3rd Strike, but I had sooo much fun learning him in SF5! His attitude, moves, and "alternate outfit" (i.e his 3rd Strike thong lol) were so fun! He's the character that really helped me learn charge characters better

[@nin5797]

I feel the same way about Oro, who in 3S was the poor mans Urien and who came back in SF5 with new tweaks as well :). Now hoping for them in SF6

I was never good at SF III, I played it at the arcades but was never good enough or had enough tokens to get good at it. Still loved the game though.

[@OMEN-999]

Some legendary 3rd Strike Uriens are RX, rkf, Messatsu, Anago, and RB. RX is basically the Urien godfather. The best Urien is RB most of the 3rd strike clips used were RB. rkf is a lab monster you can find his channel on KZbin he has some absolutely insane stuff on there. Messatsu is the personification of Urien rushdown.

[@martron7]

13:52 is absolutely sick as fuck. In any fighting game, theres 2 tier lists, the "character is objectively good" tierlist and the "sick" list, a rating of just how hype and/or cool a character is when played well. Urien in SF5 is absolutely at the peak of the "sick" list in the SSS Tier

[@Nomadd_d]

12:57 Thats a very good Point of view actually

[@mimikyugigas8106]

i have watched this video a few times already but just coming back after 3s at evo i can say that Urien was absolutely the most entertaining character the entire tournament

[@ZEBASS]

Great video! And yeah design wise he is definitely one of the most unique and rewarding characters out there. WITHOUT being top tier which is amazing as well! Btw launcher is special cancellable on 3s, only the 1st hit, but still is, and it's still an important part of his kit

[@sharifrowe7812]

Really well made video mate! Hope ya make a few more videos like this!

[@marvinmetellus7919]

The fact that this video is the first result that shows up when you search urien on youtube is a testimante of how good this video is

[@Sin606]

I really enjoyed this video, and while I can't talk about him at the level you talked about him, I'm feeling like he's popular enough to make it to 6, but not in Season 2. From SF3 series the character I'd like to come to 6 in Season 2 would be someone that had been missing from SF4 and SF5 so someone like Remy or Necro. I firmly believe that we need to bring some of the other up because we know someone like Urien will sell 100%. Thanks for the vid.

[@ars.superstar]

random sweet trip reference? i think i love you...

[@KoopaKoot]

5:48 is the most accurate description of Charge Partitioning 🤣

[@null-wq5cp]

If they give Urien tackle loops back, SFV fireball mechanic (different exs dependent on which strength normals), a more 3S headbutt, SFV charged normals and special cancels, along with potentially getting a stock (VS1 or VS2, SFV amazing made his SF3 supers minus aegis through install mechanics), and main suit outfit along with the original design that can be accessed through 3S color it would be INSANE! Major credit to SFV devs for giving Urien the best evolution into modern fighter and his kit allowed that. You said it best at 12:10. You should’ve explored the SF4 accents of urien within Abel and Seth. Pretty sure omega Seth had tackle loops!!
