[djshefu]

SHO- OOOOOHHHAAAAAHHHHH!

[noon3freak]

[tofu336]

those throws after wiff shoryuken are nuts! way too much damage couldn't you tech out of it?

[RafaelPellizzari]

It seems Watson really enjoyed eating backfist after throwing close up Hadoukens, eh?

[teknomogul]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!1!

[BennyHarassi]

music is atleast 1000 times better than sf4s....makes you wanna fight harder

[Zeronum2]

Mike get out of fucking retirement!

[XXSTR8RYDAHXX]

his timing on them back breakers is on point!

[jerseyfame]

Those backbreakers look like they hurt like hell...

[idkmybffamir]

Any SF video that shows someone spamming fireballs as a strategy is obviously Mike Watson.

[kingoffighterz]

Right, because fireballs aren't part of zoning lol moron

[Makingnewnamesisdumb]

Somehow, nothing beats a good Guile V.S. Ryu matchup. It's always interesting to watch... Both players tend to take their time, match one another up, play at their own pace and put all of their best tricks to use.

[rsaran1288]

Great play by Kurahashi in this matchup! As guile against Ryu/Ken players, first play patiently and don't jump over fireballs very much. Then, when the Ryu/Ken realizes this, you can easily pick your spots to jump when they increase the frequency of their fireball throwing. The backfist is also a great counter to fireball throwers! 2nd round was domination by Kurahashi!

[kingoffighterz]

Jumping in on Guile is suicide, I'm a ryu player so ya pretty much spam fireballs, build meter and that basicaly gives ryu a huge advangage, because guile wll be very careful about throwing out sonic booms after that

[rsaran1288]

I was talking about Guile players need to play patiently against fireball crazy Ryu players, look for a pattern, and start jumping over the fireballs once they see a pattern after 1-2 rounds. I think you though I was talking about Ryu jumping in on Guile, which is not suicide if you wait for a sonic boom before jumping or anticipate a guile sonic boom throwing pattern, which most average-good players have.

[adagdag]

backfist in the face

[chroniclesofj]

OH MAN I LOVE IT!!! GUILE FTW

[rocknflip66]

damn somebody just got a broken back

[Munkyo99]

The Ryu Player Sucks.. is a lame player ..Sux Sux Sux...

[branh0913]

That Ryu player is Mike Watson. You just don't know

[Munkyo99]

yes but he sucks in this match....

[RiceLUMFAO]

too bad he's one of the greatest fucking ST players of all time. you'd be lucky to get near any of the players who played in the usa vs japan exhibition

[misugijun]

Pure pwnage

[GrieverDividous]

brutal

[papitothepumper]

that was too crazy hueheuheuehue

[DevilJin01]

DSP should have watched the second round of this fight before that match he had with his HD Remix Akuma vs. the random Guile.

[rohitad]

Those throws u do for guile are so amazing in the second round. It can be quite hard to pull off those moves in any street fighter series when u are playing Guile. Guile rules!

[BadGrandmas]

That was disgusting. Amazing Backfist.

[1nnovator]

WTF?! This nigga's airthrowing Jab DPs?! COT DAMN!!!

[rocknflip66]

2nd round was too brutal

[rogueyoshi]

kurahashi is beyond godlike

[sfturbo]

i would prefer muteki's guile anytime. his guile is more offensive which actually brings out more of guile's potential. kurahashi on the other hand prefer to turtle most of the time.

[kingofthenoobs]

and he can do combos into super that shouldn't work. their sbo match is still a classic

[TrueSephiros]

Turtling is what makes Guile so powerful, I never understand the idea of trying to play Guile offensively, when he has always suited turtling more. Even his ST counterpart is no different in this case, however, this match up is great, simply because I love the oldschool spacing of Guile vs Ryu.

[JED707]

Saved to favourites. I've never seen a Guile fuck a Ryu's head with a sledge hammer that hard before.

[oz999]

@JED707 I have many times. Just not exactly in this manner. And not in ST, in SF2CE, and SF2HF.
