Interview w/ Noah - 8 Year Old SSF4 Prodigy

[xbox360fan1985]

@Elyon

[xJSNIPES13x]

What an awesome father!

[maniac923]

He's not a prodigy

[xRagma]

cash cow for his dad

[FileGold]

His father is awesome. He seems like a cool guy and I understand where he's coming from. I'm glad Noah doing great.

[NoahtheProdigy]

please check out my official channel and subscribe :) shoutouts to cross counter!

[mecoboy007]

Noah: im good at fighting games

WHAT EVER GUY: but ur ugly!

Noah: *Hadoken* shut up noob..

[astralninja1]

dat kid looked akward as fuck

[geyza0711]

Whats with the biblical names?

[jarkokoo]

That's the right attitude for a dad: support your kids' hobbies and spend time with them. Big up for Noah and his family!

[CaptainShadaloo]

Man Bison has shown this kid how to play.

[blokeroy]

That kid has to be absolutely traumatized after seeing Cammy and Chun-Li's pre-fight animations...

In all seriousness, I'm not sure if his parents should let him see things like that. I'm not his parents (of course), but still...

[oSaturos]

@blokeroy WTF? A kid sees some ass and he's traumatized?

[blokeroy]

@oSaturos It was something of a tongue-in-cheek comment - he's too young to understand such eye candy... :P

[Wuzzamachuck]

I like that he has a father who supports him and allows him to play and have fun at events.

[xXManny1996Xx]

Alright man thats tight. I from Lompoc too. Thats sick hes representing Lompoc, CA. If you have ps3 Noah. Add me dude.xXUSMC-MedinaXx

[pkmnfreak75]

Next up, a 2-year old toddler that kicked Daigo's ass at Street fighter III

[123asian321]

Lol funny how he says them tournaments are friendly "Stares at filipino champ"

[NaomiChanX]

Obviously they've never been to any marvel 2 tournys.

[amadshadow]

@NaomiChanX lol

[mariotaz]

Being an 8 year old amazing at Guitar Hero is far more impressive

[AxleIsBored]

that kids dad is awesome.

[MurkTactics]

wow mad potential...I think i started dat young 2 just didnt really understand the technicality and mechanics of fighting games then but damn dats young son

[DustedDom]

gootecks is going to throw his stick again!

[NoisyPanther]

I remember back in my day, nobody's dad would be saying that, 'cause everybody thought that video games would make you delinquents and make you fail out of school and become a bum on the street.

I love this dad.

[KrsnaBhakta]

In a year he reached this level, I am starting out too, I need a year, remember me CussingCornet, see yall next year.

[narutoxgamester]

he is great for 8. he could do some high level stuff. hopefully he keeps playing.i f it wasn't for online i would be nearly as good as i am i dont mean to brag. be that good at all cause im shy. ive been playing fighter since i was 10 im 15. online really helps guys like me and noah out.

[Saturi]

this kid sucks

[bimbo10887]

@Saturi You're just jealous. Chill out he's only 8 years old.

[Saturi]

@bimbo10887 nah not jealous, kid just sucks. wow 3 grabs in a row ! never mind his opponent fucking sucking. KID IS FUCKING GOD LIKE, you didn't seem DEM 3 grabs?

[AxleIsBored]

@Saturi if ur so good, go play him, and win. go for it bro. you can do it.

[CrazzyLoveLy]

wtf?! (⌒▽⌒

[killahkazi]

Can't understand how some of these "adults" can hate on a quite 8 y/o who happens to be half way decent at a video game. People really need to check their priority's in life.

[V3gas1]

Those are some badass names you gave your kids, Moses. No joke.

[hbk1576]

Nobody hates on anybody?

so when chris g beat him every 1 didnt boo?

[americanospuercos]

Is that kid dominican??? What is he?

[bottledsoul]

I couldn't perform a fireball until I was 13.

[MrCognee]

@bottledsoul I picked up SF when I was 8 and I was the button masher of the century but now, I can body anyone online

[chocomunky128]

this is the true power of the internet. this kid would not be nearly as good as he is if it weren't for XBL and PSN. The next generation is going to be beastly.

[Shergaming]

Awesome dad.

[hellrobo]

Our Future Fighting Gamer

[inurmom101]

Lol he cried when he got raped by Chris g. Pretty good though.

[Asianman8307]

is tht pongko in the background? loll

[skiie]

@Asianman8307 no that was recorded in the west coast, poongko lives in korea.

[subahatu]

no wonder y there so Fat

[mcace629]

Gootecks, you discovered a legend in the making.

[hemightbegiant]

So it turns out that "kid who only did well in EVO because he was playing Marvel, he'd never do that in Street Fighter" is good at Street Fighter too.

Oh, what the future may bring...

[asnlunatic]

SINCE A YEAR. GOD you are motherfucking adorable. He is gonna some pussy in a year or so.

[superchild211]

@asnlunatic - Not for playing Street Fighter lmao

[yomly]

@asnlunatic amazing.

[justin20877]

The dad almost got me reaching for a napkin. Almost.

Props all round to him and the fam.

[yumyumeatemup]

NOAH! GETTIN IN DAT ASS! Good stuff lil guy, your potential and talent knows no bounds, keep it up and you could be the next daigo or justin wong!

[1941citizenkane]

Noah won the hearts of everyone at EVO 2011 and the people around the world. A star is born.

[Elyon]

Top 50 at EVO. This kid...

[airgilbert]

lol sick

[wuzzuuuuuup]

THIS KID FUCKING BODIED PEOPLE IN MARVEL AT EVO!

GET HYPE

[joinmebowser9000]

@wuzzuuuuuup He just pwned royal flush :O that kid got skillz!

[Optitius]

The dad is a good father, you can just tell!

[castrocap]

dad sounds like vast aire.

[Benvoyevsky]

@castrocap haha, yes!

[dtb2111]

lol ah...the day when "you play like an 8 year old" is no longer a valid insult

[yellowhelloable]

Thank goodness gootecks didnt let this kid play his prodigy scumbag. TThat kid would have got a ton of love from scumbag, a ton of cuss words.

[desistyle3]

i saw this kid at NCR - he was damn good!

[luk01010]

noah vs daigo first match of ssf4 at evo 2011

[shagrath1990]

i think moses jr looks kinda like combofiend :D thumbs up if you think so too xD



[BlackLightAttack]

This dude may stumble with his words a bit but I think he's a goddamn model parent. MOAR GETTING YOUR KIDS INTO GAMING SCENES.

But for the love of god keep them away from the competitive CoD community.

[hooshangmaster]

kudos, to the guy taking the loss and not acting like a child.

[nibelung34343]

i agrgree id rather have my kid hes 8 and addicted to pokemon and ddr playing video game rather than being with people who woulld get him in trouble

[ANecessaryEnd]

My mom was the exact same way with me growing up.. when people would tell her that I needed to get out more, out of the house.. she said, " No, he doesn't.. he is fine right where he is, out of trouble. " So.. gaming kept me out of drugs, gangs.. jail. When my boys asked me to come along knocking old folks mailboxes down, I told them I was busy.. with Suikoden, haha.

[bkzlilboi42]

@ANecessaryEnd oh plz

[ANecessaryEnd]

@bkzlilboi42

OH PLZZ THX 4 RPLYING!!111!! GLHFGGKTHX!!!1111!!

[ionzzz]

Big props to this kid and his family

[kaw37]

kewl

[miniben8]

great dad

[Thienthan]

If this where back during SF2, kids like this would have never blossomed! Thank you, Youtube, and the Marvelous world of the Internets! ;)

[sayanskywolf13]

thats pretty cool stuff :O

im sure that kid would kick my ass in ssfiv plus i dont even have that game lol

btw gootecks is 28 O_o damn i though he was like 21 or something D: i feel young XDD

[RAxzibit]

damn bro you're 28?!??!

[BlueEye096]

God damn I have also only been playing SSFIV for 1 year but I'm 15 and I can't figure out charge chars. And I am not near tournament level

[ArehnWulfe]

I jsut heard about this kid (i live in Lompoc) so I'll take on this tournament, it will be fun

[cwistofu]

UCI ZOT ZOT ZOT

[ABoffman]

Wow, he knows how to throw, he's pretty good.

[OmniLegend]

@ABoffman He beat Gootecks. Prior, it was noted he perfected someone. The clips shown in Noah and Gooteck's match shows a decent understanding of his character and the game. He is not mashing or anything of the sort. The fact an eight year old is even playing at something near competitive level and not still staring down at buttons while rapid firing the prettiest button he can find is great in itself. Why try to take anything away from that?

[WhatKindofNameisYuki]

im glad my names noah

[baioken]

god to be honest, I would be so pissed to lose to a kid. Would be even pissed to lose to some 16 year old guy, but this is ridiculous

[skiie]

Nobody hates on anybody....... may he never reach the east coast....

[ZeroSumJ1]

@skiie Or play Filipino Champ

[rmnhn]

@skiie what IS the matter with east coast anyways?

[Kishiru324]

@skiie We give love in the east coast too! <33

[ispsagel50]

@skiie oh he kinda did with playing against Chris G. LOL

[hemightbegiant]

@skiie This too, lol.

[steffen54321]

@skiie What's up with dem easties?

[gabster521]

@skiie exactly what i was thinking when i heard that...BIONIC ARM!

[brigbjones]

gootecks is an amazing caster i would put him up with the greats like tasteless and day[9] (yeah i like starcraft what of it?)

[brigbjones]

wow a parent actually involved in the structure of his kids life thats some badass parenting.

[claudiusrex]

Cool stuff, the dad seems to be a very nice guy, despite his lack of taste in the dressing department.

[FallenShadow631]

Noah is a solid player, but he talks a lot of trash for a little kid.... Me and some of my buddied invited him to our SSF4 lobby, and talked a lot of trash.... really good for 8 years old though.

[etherealrhythm]

Fuckin' A, that shit was wicked. What an awesome, humble family. Go little buddy!

[XxXJumpXstyl1996XxX]

emerooo :D

[icyrazor]

This little kid has a TE stick while the other 10,000 don't? Great. AND he plays Bison

[WestCoastNinja7]

goes to show how easy fighting games have gotten

[gardan06]

@WestCoastNinja7 - no this goes to show where good parenting can lead to.

[kara12]

dude if this was east coast it wouldnt be a good environment. I could see noel brown doing bionic arm against noah....

[88laserbeam]

Good intro song! what's it called?

[Heat13009]

It's been said before, and I'll say it again.

"Gootecks? More like No Techs."

[sheikguy93]

I'd hate to lose to him.. :/

[h00dRaTchronicles]

Was this the dude bodying a rufus player at SCR?!

[TheQualy]

@h00dRaTchronicles yes it was :)

[Kaiteboo224]

that's my cousin :)

[SpiriTracE]

Yea, the kid is cool and all, and Imma like this vid...but Dwy is one of the greatest 12 year olds of all time. He won a tourny.

[MegaHello12345]

@SpiriTracE I heard about that kid! Won a marvel tournament in ireland right? I heard one of the top 8 in europe guys was at the tournament too! The tournaments called CxC2 (Cross x Counter 2) right?

[SpiriTracE]

@MegaHello12345 Yep, that kid. I used to play SSF4 with him all the time. He was good at that too.

[mmoo3]

Noah & Gootecks are awesome!

[pizzaroo1]

Moses Jr. beat my DJ 2-1 as Chun in Losers at fight for relief. Pretty cool I got to fight someone my age at the tourney :V

[shagrath1990]

Moses Jr. is kind of a Combofiend Lookalike :D

[sharky168]

Shit, Jewtecks is 28??

[MouseKeysDesk]

That's awesome. I wish more families could unite over video games like this. Playing video games and meeting people because I played them was a big part of my life growing up and still is now. Most people think it's just a stupid hobby... I'm glad Moses sees that there's more to it than that and wants his kids to be a part of it.

[vikrantw2000]

instead of encouraging the 8 yr old to play video games, his family should motivate him to study or some other creative activities.

[CHIVISTAx805x]

@vikrantw2000 true but why would u not let him play at the tournament? its for charity and also the tournament the kid and hes father are doing is also for charity to me that seems preety nice and the brothe did say they do their homework first then play

[finalfanimez]

@vikrantw2000

if you didnt notice the kids said that they play "after homework" so i have no doubt that their father puts a high regard on education. seeing as how most kids would just play and lie about homework and shiz



[vikrantw2000]

@finalfanimez perhaps you are right. my point was that playing casually is ok, no harm, but one shouldn't get too much involved (unless u wanna be a prof gamer which imo as a career is hard and risky ), otherwise its really difficult to get out of the addiction. and by the time u realize, u've spent so many valuable years.

[NinjaPepper]

@vikrantw2000 OH NO! THE KID MIGHT SPEND TIME HIS FREE TIME DOING SOMETHING HE ENJOYS! GOTTA WARN THEM, QUICK!

[draagonys]

@vikrantw2000 sad but true......



[jjilatt123]

@vikrantw2000 I'm going to guess that you have never spent any amount of time in any serious gaming community to say something like this. Many hardcore gamers go on to live very successful lives while being competitive in gaming at the same time.

There is no "addiction" to gaming. There has never been any medical evidence to support the theory that gaming is addictive. There is such a thing as having a "drive", or "captivating personality", where you take serious interests in certain things.

[IIIpwnzyIII]

@vikrantw2000 Your parents should have motivated you into being a better troll 8)

[CHIVISTAx805x]

i need some info on where in lompoc this tournamen gonna be i live in santa maria about 45 min away i would love to go and donate

[spinseffing]

SOOOOO many jokes about how easy this game is from this.

[akaFobb]

Props to Moses. Not enough kids know about respect now-a-days, and it's good to see a father taking enough interest in his son's hobbies to drive him 3 hours out just to play.

[Rubberbandman1991]

Maybe it wasn't that Noah was THAT good, but that the guys at the venue were just THAT damn free.

[MrEternity1]

cool

[AramithSRK]

cool dad and fam. dope way to spend family time too...hahaha

[Domskater55]

gootecks I though you was like 22 or 23 you look so young. What is your secret?

[MAAATE3]

@Domskater55 aids

[VestigeOfGabriel]

I want this kid to participate in Godsgarden..

[smiley917]

THERE U GO GOOTECKS

[StriderShadow]

lol even 8 year olds can win with Bison

[ManowarHeigou]

@StriderShadow This pretty much.

[ThirdStrikeParty]

I am so jealous of this kid.

[Jtehbunny]

ilu Gootecks, but I think Noah was a little scared of you when you burst out laughing after he won the round. lol

[alexisnaranjo]

I can totally see Noel Brown sucker punching this kid. NIGGA JUST GOT BODIED!

[rmnhn]

@alexisnaranjo noel brown'd be a major a-hole in a league of his own if he did that...

[c0118oy]

OMG i remember this kid! He was at NCR. i played him. Man...I won but fuck he's good lol. Big ups to that young dude.

[tuber52]

"everyone seems to get along with everyone, no one hates anybody. everybody loves everybody" this statement does not apply to marvel. wait till that boy experiences east coast marvel. but good to see the future players of this community

[BxJoEMazTA]

This dad made me smile. I may be a 14 year old boy, but I can see that he is in a great state of mind. God bless.

[RSXemperor85]

Gootecks=The Michael Cole of fighting games.

[biggtexaz]

@RSXemperor85 That's below the belt, dude.

[Zhinse]

What Moses said in this video is right. A lot of kids these days need to learn what real friendship and respect is first hand instead of learning it from television and the internet.

[alkaterza]

I would be freaked if their mom was name Mary

[JusTRobertSx]

Noah and Moses. Even there names are GDLK!

[YuriBo26]

Very nice interview, put my Bipson to shame, maybe I take a lesson or two from him =)

[synonix]

What I like about Gootecks... just give that dude a Mic. No script just DOES IT LIVE

[mrpajamasharkman]

Man, first Broly and now Noah? Gootecks really wants to let me know how bad I am... :P

[Mafamaticks]

We wanna see the match Gootecks lol

[RaymondLau123]

Bison so easy an 8 year old can use him! d:

[spiderman112004]

judging by his family, that kid might need to switch to rufus

[coolbman2]

@spiderman112004 Was that fat joke? If so it made no sense and wasn't funny. Grow up.

[TheNietzschian]

@spiderman112004 I love how hard you fail at life

[spiderman112004]

@TheNietzschian u mad?

[TheQualy]

THANK YOU GOOTECKS! for uploading this it means alot to Noah and if you guys want to see more matches of Noah check out my channel and remember to comment , rate , and subscribe. Cya at EVO

[carelessmorning]

"Great environment." Smelly guys in a room playing video games and yelling all day.

[fnshrvb]

@carelessmorning Try and be more specific you PRICK. No one spends a WHOLE 24 hours playing games let alone SHOUTING for a whole fucking day, nor are most guys smelly. I don't know about your fucking room though. Such an ass hole.

[carelessmorning]

@fnshrvb Have you ever been to a major tournament? Are you retarded? It's a figure of speech, who said they play video games 24 hours? Why are you so angry? Are you smelly? If so, I recommend a shower. Who am I an asshole to? You? Are you a smelly guy who stalks my room? What does my room have to do with anything? O_o

[Ketsui]

FIRST DISLIKE. IN YOUR MOTHER FUCKING FACE, CROSSCOUNTERTV.

[Doinge]

gootecks walks into a tournament, and picks up a scent. he follows it, stalks it, tracks it. the scent of INSPIRATION is all that matters.

he MUST find the source, and interview it.

[cooldude1886]

@Doinge and then he must defeat it

[nbtyuiop]

@Doinge congratulations sir, you have giving me the lolz i have been so desperately seeking for.

[Goo287]

like the ambient bg noise; constant Madcats button mashing.

[SuicidalBuu]

gootecks forgot how to tech throws?

[RajmanGamingHD]

@SuicidalBuu GooNotechs?

[trysephiroth007]

nice tech gootecks
