bubbles' cracked ryu at this major is such a treat from all the yuns, chuns, and kens 😀 2024 3rd strike is so exciting still

Absolutely! Yelling at this prerecorded rampage like a child at the zoo. Bubble's Denjin Ryu is so enjoyably aggressive!

[@n_cruz144]

Literally the best top 8 spread you can ask for and anime zoomers will still find a way to push their goofy take

[@sekainosenshi_1412]

None of the top 3rd strike players were here. If some of the Japanese players were here he would've had major problems because they know how to parry denjin and stop the Ryu pressure.

[@imAgentR]

@@sekainosenshi_1412but they weren’t. What if is such a lame way to approach things. The moment is to be enjoyed; these were enjoyable matches as-is.

[@ps3gamesncomicbooks]

[@downrightfiercerare1565]

@ps3gamesncomicbooks do it then brother don't say it be it

[@ps3gamesncomicbooks]

@@downrightfiercerare1565 im just kidding with you man, thats what i love about 3s, all of the characters are viable and when people have been grinding this shit for decades the best player always wins

[@ps3gamesncomicbooks]

@@downrightfiercerare1565 my chun is hard tho

[@o.n810]

Your Chun-Li is GARBAGE. My Chun-Li would destroy you.

[@SleekGoose]

LETS GO BUBBLES !!! love to see the top tiers get put in their place looking at you yun/chun li

[@juanluispulidomorales4318]

46:45 the commentator started sounding like Morty from Rick and Morty lol

[@wreday720]

Lmao good catch!!

[@AERoVALKYRiE]

39:20 THAT'S GODLIKE!

[@joey5745]

1:06:44 For me, OMG

[@juanonetwo]

Nah Yun, not this time. - Degen Ryu

This was a fantastic top 8 -- so hyped for Evo 3s this year now! What a rampage from Bubbles!

[@joelarcher2691]

Wow so many good matches. Way to go champ

[@martinc1842]

Bubbles with the kuni cosplay Love it

[@atsurokihara5525]

So sick! Hope we can see bubbles take on some bigger tournaments in the future.

[@pablitus44]

top tier fighting game to watch also the winner carrying the boi in withe

[@ToyotaKudoFan]

Great Top 8! Nice to see a character other than Yun/Chun win a major tournament for once. ngl I was really rooting for the Ibuki player, they put on an amazing performance.

[@stormcutter59]

You mean he?

[@averyswarts]

I used to play with yogurt brain a lot back on fightcade, so amazing seeing them on the big stages! Keep it up yogurt

[@darkgiovanni]

Yogurt brain's Ibuki was a treat to watch.

[@pedromatos7128]

20+ years and still going strong 3rd Strike ✊ On another note, everyone seems to be using the same arcade stick or at least similar custom setup but different coat of paint. Been looking for a good stick and need guidance.

[@anthonydarlington1182]

This game will ALWAYS be hype 🙌 ... love the mixing of picks, no tier whores, just experience and will to win. Amazing top 8

[@RetsaMW]

Bubbles wasn't playing around with Ryu. Goodness gracious... (42:30 - The Denjin Ryu setups)

[@Disco_Man_Doopop_Doubly]

『 3rd Strike too fye 🔥🔥 』

[@robertmatthews9650]

As a Ryu main, this brings a tear to my eye.

[@renatoribeiro9125]

Até que enfim um Ryu!

[@lucastyson5230]

Top 8 not being all BO5 is criminal

[@advocatefish3562]

Threw this on to have in the background. Stopped to watch the whole thing awesome play by everyone. Some crazy stuff happening.

[@DannyGao]

Joe Rogan on commentary folks!

[@Cezkarma]

This was 1000x more entertaining than EVO Japan's 3rd Strike tournament

[@zleepydude224]

I can’t unsee Seth Rogan when I hear one of the commentators 😂

[@kindoethegreat2250]

[@Shimazusama]

Great games wow

[@El-Dorado930]

200 participants is incredible. What's the prize money?

[@RX50cent]

wow is bubbles on fc?

[@raulrivera622]

Anyone know what are they playing on?

[@VampireArcadia]

This is arcade cps3 board with a supergun.

[@raulrivera622]

@@VampireArcadia wow did not you know you could do that …. Thank you always wondered how those cps3 boards could be modernized

[@MFOnslaught]

Kuni is my fave player to watch.

[@verideanforester5770]

40:42 I don't suppose anyone can tell me what song this is? Looking to add it to my Spotify 😅

[@GargantuanBreadfruit]

This is Love (zaid tabani & keetheweeb)

[@arktv4406]

wowo, im happy that all yun´s loses. that ryu so smart and hard work to win.

[@DSkehan2004]

40:41 song?

[@PhioPL]

This is love (feat. Zaid Tabani & Keetheweeb) from the Combo Breaker 2024 Event Soundtrack

[@almost401]

ryu is s tier now

[@Debbie-qs2xo]

The saying is "..beating the brakes.." not bricks. 😂

[@goku-pops7918]

This game looks better than sf6

[@SlowStroking]

It really ain’t tho. You gotta be smart af with drive being ur stun, ex, and parry meter. Rather play that resource game than fight a crackhead popping a super install 2-3 times a round

[@goku-pops7918]

@@SlowStroking game mechanics is a different discussion. I just think the game is beautiful. The stages are like rich paintings I would put on my wall

[@MyNamesNotLars1]

It absolutely is

[@manason2776]

Yun Fighter 3

[@goku-pops7918]

Yun seems like so much bullshit

[@stayontrack]

Only cause there were no Chuns in this top 8

[@FlockOfYahweh]

Pls ban genei jin cus at this point smh.

[@cosmogang]

Yun sucks! Lol

[@Spookyjordan]

What’s with all the spoilers in the comment section?

[@rochesternewyork7814]
