SFIII: 3rd Strike - Kuroda (GO) vs ETE (DU) - [GGPO]

[DonAgalloch]

1:13 - Parry? Parry!? PARRY THIS, BITCH!

[SugarBearForce]

2:07 - GODLIKE

[hinney827]

2:07

[revankampf]

Hard to imagine playing Kuroda's Akuma. What...do...you do to defend against the constant mixup? I'm clueless. Cheers to both players. :-)

[killinunderoath]

@caffeine150 hahaha so true

[caffeine150]

Check out the 0:00-4:11

It was once said that Kuroda looses matches on purpose to give his opponents a false sense of hope.

[SmexyAsianGirls]

Has Kuroda ever beat Daigo in Third Strike?

[djmixah]

@SmexyAsianGirls Kuroda smacks the shit out of Daigo. Kuroda's the best player in this game.

[djmixah]

@SmexyAsianGirls And to actually answer you, as far as I know, they never played each other.

But generally speaking, Daigo's considered a great Ken player in Japan. Kuroda's considered the master of 3S.

[djmixah]

@SmexyAsianGirls And he's also a douchebag... SBO, when JWong / Ricky fought against him, he refused to even just shake their hands or even say a word to them. Just played, trashed them, and moved on.

[SmexyAsianGirls]

@djmixah Was this at 2011 SBO?

[djmixah]

@SmexyAsianGirls Nah, this was like 6 years ago. I don't know that they played since. If you watch the match, you can tell Kuroda's fucking with them too... Random dash up taunts, just sits and crouches the last half of the last round with Wong. Supposedly he even took a phone call during the match. No clue.

[SmexyAsianGirls]

@djmixah I understand what you mean. In my opnion, it doesn't even seem like the Asian players even have any fun at the game. They treat it as serious as if they lost, they'd die or something. And watching Kuroda play made me want to learn how to play Q :D He's like one of the hardest chars to master in the game I think. Kuroda inspiring us all :D

[talljord]

@SmexyAsianGirls Not sure if they have ever played, but Daigo was never really overly good at this game, at least compared to Kuroda

[MrWaffleBeast]

Holy shit 3 tatsu in 1 combo??

[ssdeathsquad88]

Kuroda just gets better and better as he plays fucking insane wish my fingers would stop being such bitches and do what he does DAMN

[LatisARG]

the words "Mind game" clearly defines kuroda!

[M4nnimal]

0:23 ETE gets a hit off but can't capitalize. Kuroda is a machine.

[spinseffing]

So who wants to explain what kuroda is? If anyone says human I will find a way to slap them.

[4znBoiix]

@spinseffing Just a wildguess here but I think that he's a superhero. Sadly his only super power is foresight and extremely good reaction, no lasers! Hahaha.

[TheApatheticGuy]

Dudley's taunt is so classy.

It never fails to make me lol.

[AVGegg]

2:09-2:15 dudley: im in narnia !!!



[came2getbusy]

omfg at Kuroda's 214k SWAG

[4znBoiix]

@came2getbusy I lol'd you're from ASW games too, aren't you?

[came2getbusy]

@4znBoiix i play accent core the most out any fighting game, but i love me some 3rd strike every now and then. as a matter of fact, i'll be getting online edition for my 360 and possibly ps3 ^^

[4znBoiix]

@came2getbusy Haha, I just thought it was funny that you used the ASW's games notations. I'm getting into GGXXAC presently because its scene over here is starting to revive. I LOVE Order-Sol, he's just too awesome. But yeah, 3rd Strike is a pretty cool game. It's the best SF in my opinion and I'll be getting the PS3 release of it.

I love seeing open-minded people. You play ASW games AND capcom games which is pretty sick imo. I'm getting tired of constant "X sucks because I play Y".

[came2getbusy]

@4znBoiix i'm moving to where you live to play AC. we had a fight club in nyc on the 18th but that was presented by CAPCOM so yeah.. i main Sol >.> definately an above average sol player though. 3rd strike IS the best street fighter evar ^^ i hate seeing closed minded people.

[BackstageFlyer]

how did they forget to finish the word next to kurodas name? isnt it GOD

[nightmarebooster]

@ 1:12 , Sensei?

[TranceCore3]

Kuroda can make any character in this game look good. People need to stop bitching about tiers. Lol.

[BangEmBanks]

Those setups were crazy lol...

[Goner86]

@ApharmdStriker Makoto is not fine, she is fucking man-ish. But seriously, if you have ever played anyone who can whore the 100% stun combo, you'd know she can be broken as hell.

[nightmarebooster]

@Goner86

Hmmm i agree 100% stun combo is bad, but still not broken. Its not that easy to pull off, and honestly speaking whichever character you are playing, you should just make a special counter for urien,makoto,and chun. I main akuma, and i found those characters extremely annoying, i still do at times, but i know how to counter them and trust me when you parry or read your opponent, Shits all good xD You could counter any character. But its not as easy as it sounds of course xD

[Goner86]

@nightmarebooster Dumb. It is broken. Yes, the combo is hard to pull off, but if you have ever played someone who mains makoto that can pull off that combo 90+% of the time it will give you a brain aneurysm. The whole concept of "reading" your opponent goes out the door when you have to "read" them correctly about 5 times per match and they only have to guess right once.

[quicksaund]

No footsies? This guys don't piss about. That Akuma was godlike too.

[vrolok4768]

2:10

a 70% damage combo? is this Tekken?

[reinjunon]

@vrolok4768

lol thats not a combo he could have blocked it

[pikachuu2]

@vrolok4768 u need to understand what a combo is before you make comments like this.

[MizukiTHPS]

@vrolok4768 It isn't all a combo, those were resets, he could have blocked in between.

[TranceCore3]

Yeah. He could have blocked. But he got crossed up something fierce.

[ndonato2]

excellent match. some really nice combos in the second set.

[SkippyChurch]

2:50 do I parry, or do I duck in and punch this bitch right in the mouth?

[dejd]

the sheer possiblity that hoshino aki is not kuroda and that there exists another sick player like him entertains me even more.

[keeyk118b]

the parry system allows players to turn defense to attack in an instant.some characters in sf3rd strike needs to be weakened. like makoto needs her control grab removed. she has too many offensive options with the control grab.

[SkippyChurch]

@keeyk118b What in the hell are you talking about? Without that grab, she's bottom tier! Even with it, she's only mid/upper. The karakusa is super important for her game.

[hillerysean]

@keeyk118b You are neglecting to mention that it turns turtling players into complete nubs. Makoto's grab is extremely hard to work in when it is a fast-paced match, it is very high risk if not used at absolutely the best times, did I mention the recovery frames on a wiff?

[DarkGreen2000]

Swoosh

[XxJohnyNguyenxX]

2:07 fucking sick

[caffeine150]

my face is melted off

[SgtRedstar]

This Dudley isn't half bad.

Its more an example of Kuroda being so good than his opponent actually being bad

[patrckhh20]

2:08-2:15 Made me dizzy.

[FCSugaFree]

That ducking straight at 2:52 was pretty slick.

[NeoBatou2010]

It's not a bad dudley player...give the man some props....he put up a good fight against Kuroda. I am expecting kuroda to be a phenomenal player trust me I've played against him before and didn't do so well, so to see this dudley do pretty well against him is deserving of some praise.

[rudey62]

This akuma is all sex man!

[sniperclown]

this is how akuma should be played

[jameschang100]

this is so much better than porn

[nisbahmumtaz909]

@jameschang100

Ahahahaha, funny you should mention that, because I have multiple tabs of porn open, and have opted to rather watch this instead.

[spitfiremanlizerd]

diago who?

[krazziejrboi]

FADC= Faggots Always Dash Canceling...

[ckndr]

Kuroda lost the 2nd round to dudely. What a noob!

[stretchypants123]

@ckndr are you're better? There's noone on earth with the credentials to call Kuroda a noob on Street Fighter III: Third Strike.

[oodeyyou]

i had forgotten how amazing 3s was. oh my lord.

[SyrinEldarin]

I just can't stop watching this video. 2:08 to 2:15... he parries a corkscrew blow, and then catches Dudley with not one, but TWO crossup resets. It blew my fucking mind.

[poster12345678]

wow nice combos by Kuroda:

0:22 comboing a jab into a hurricane juggle without the jab resetting??

0:25 air hurricane, hurricane, air hurricane. awesome.

[Mugen123456789]

Best Fighting Game of all time !

[Scidadle]

Does Kuroda still play GGPO?

[stretchypants123]

2:02-2:18 WTF?! I don't think the Dudley player had any better idea than I did on what Kuroda was doing there~ =\ which is insane! What a Dudley slayer.

[someguyhunter]

@stretchypants123 you dont have a better idea on whats going on period. dont compare yourself to any of these players. they are better.

[stretchypants123]

@someguyhunter I wasn't, you didn't seem to get my context. I was saying that the other player didn't seem to know what was going on, just as I, a person who barely plays this game at all at that moment. In other words, I'm trying to say that Kuroda made him look like a newb. Do I have to explain everything that I say these days or what?

[ai2006b]

This is Kuroda? On GGPO? He probably doesn't show up anymore, right? =( Not that I'd play him.

[Otahell999]

lots of tatsumakis. XD

this guy is a beast with gouki, holy shit. he's scary

[darkneolord]

WTF, did KURODA won the whole fucking round in just 9 seconds!!, best GOUKI I've ever seen

[z712]

holy shit, the resets and mixups at 2:11 are insane.

[InfamousProduction1]

2:09 - 2:17 Holy Shizz Mix Up City!!

[oothomioo]

First time watching Kuroda playing gouki...

My mind has been blown. lol

[azn3tailedDragOn]

@oothomioo I feel you brotha O__O

[lin2k4]

Is Kuroda the best 3S player?

[jaytizzle11189]

I like how at 0:41 Kuroda was just waiting for him to make a move so he could react. Because he can. He's that good.

[malditaSeaCubico]

Does anybody know how to link that super jump third tatsumaki juggle?

I tried many combinations, I just figured that out the first has to conect only one hit and second one has to be HK.

[byaxiom]

@malditaSeaCubico I can do this move sometimes, however, only when the opponent is cornered. I'm not sure if there's a trick to it but it seems you must be very fast when executing the 3'rd in-air hurricane kick. All of the hurricane kicks are HK. You must do a regular jump strait up in the air and immediately perform the hurricane kick with HK to make the combo land. As for the non-cornered version...

[horseshoeGANG]

@byaxiom For non corner it's pretty much the same but you do a towards jump, as for the trick to the combo, i discovered that the 1st hit and the last hit of the ground HK Hurricane kick must be the hits that connect (this can be achieved by doing the ground Hurricane kick late and you will know too by the way they bounce) otherwise the juggle limit will be maxed (u can tell by the 3hit combo caption that appears well before your opponent hits the ground). But this is just my Theory though.

[horseshoeGANG]

@malditaSeaCubico 1st do HK hurricane kick (1hit) and when u land do another HK hurricane Kick (but delay it a bit, don't do it too early, 2hits) then hold up forward (u don't have to do a super jump cancle) and as soon as akuma recovers do a hurricane kick (you'll already be jumping cause you're hold up forward). I can pull the combo off 60% of the time anywhere, Trust me it's easier to do on chars like Makoto, Oro, Dudley, Urien but pretty damn hard to do on shotos. Well i hope that helped.

[malditaSeaCubico]

@horseshoeGANG

Thanks a lot to every answe!

What I'm actually doing now is HP instead of 3rd tatsumaki, wich resets and deals damage, but it's not that cool ...

[FCSugaFree]

Dudley player was pretty slick.

[Kuya1991]

Someone told me that Kuroda messes around with Q because his Akuma is too fucking beast for everyone else. Damn...

[huuuuuumpy]

lol the akuma's a douche for t-bagging dudley like that

[dxtr0]

2:04 - 2:15 ...i can't believe what i just witnessed....

[Shotolicious]

@dxtr0 yea that was pretty fucking dope ^^

[supermanalexk]

those cross ups are mad.

[GrindingOgre]

2:10 -> OMGWTF!

[XenK64]

O_O

[bling125]

Kuroda lost once and then..........BAM!!

[stingchamelion]

I could watch kuroda matches all damn day

[xer05tar]

stylin

[anubislee36]

Watching Kuroda Vs. (SkillerPlayer2) makes me feel like I'm blind or something. I KNOW amazing stuff is goin' down. I just can't tell what, or why. I'm not even playing and I feel like I'm getting mind gamed.

[charleekun]

This game is just too awesome, seeing matches between two pro's, or one pro and one average player, is...indescribable...

[sniperclown]

if kuroda can play like this in SF4 he can easily climb up to #1

[raxzar]

Kuroda gives a shit about ken fighter 4

[shindean]

@raxzar Ken? I think you mean God Tier Sagat 4

[crapbuster]

not really 3s still ownz

[shindean]

@sniperclown SF4 is a nice game, and I hope Super SF4 comes out even better. But it is by far not better than 3S (It just amazes me how the best Japanese players prefer picking lower tiered characters than just sticking to chun, it's a testament to how balanced it can be)

[AzuroMasurao]

How balanced it can be?

3S is by no means balanced...

[shindean]

you obviously don't pay much attention to this game outside of forums.

The player above who's video you just watched, he does a complete F.U. to the tier list and cleanly beat's Justin Wong's Chun li. This is one of the few games where your reflexes are going to win you the match, but most people are lazy and just pick chun li :P

[AzuroMasurao]

And you obviously don't understand exactly how far ahead Japan is in 3S compared to America.

Tiers aren't gonna matter with a skill gap as big as that.

[shindean]

@AzuroMasurao sorry, but I don't accept lazyiness as an excuse like you do. I never would've have won a tournament if I kept that same mentality of "poor me, I'm not japanese so I can't develop my reflexes even though I have a perfectly fine and working training mode to use"

[AzuroMasurao]

@shindean Wtf are you even talking about...? I never said anything about laziness. Look at SBO's results the past few years, the results of US majors, etc. The game's not that balanced.

And yes, Japan is far ahead of the US in terms of 3S. This isn't disputable, this has been proven a number of times. They simply are a lot better.

Again, tier lists only matter at the highest level of play, a level US is not close to.

[DarkGanon3000]

@AzuroMasurao Azuro just quit it out man

no point even in arguing with the guy. All

youtube people think they know it all. I do

agree with you 3s is not that balanced, but

it is a pretty kool game.

[AzuroMasurao]

@DarkGanon3000 Agreed. Really good game.

[ClumzyRice]

3rd strike..............is one of the best games ever... 3rd strike dominates sf4

[ohanarchy117]

kuroda is god-like

[SalamiSampson]

I'm in love with third strike and I only got to play it 3 or 4 times.. Will GGPO(MAME) roms work with a normal arcade emulator so I can learn the game a bit before getting beat down? lol

[6Diego1Diego9]

what is this super jump hurricane kick/??? i never seen that before haha.

btw i still think Y.Otoko plays a better akuma

[RageOfLeoEX]

Kuroda, CALM DOWN YOU WON ALREADY JEEZ!!!!! XD

he is such a beast.

[DonPatch91090]

fuck daigo this guys beast

[Rza06]

2:09 very nice

[knighttwentyk]

Red parry at 3:24

[Sumonfer]

SF4 de cu é rola... FATO

Kuroda é um monstro... outro FATO

lol

[sh0ryuu]

3rd strike will always be better than sf4

[VYP3R22]

yawnnnnn, not

[RageOfLeoEX]

yes it is. sf4 is for noobs, this is REAL street fighter.

[VYP3R22]

thats what all scrubs say that cand handle sf4 on a pro lvl, now let me see the scrubs thumb me down, cuz i know there are alot of u that cant play shit

[RageOfLeoEX]

wow i have sf4 and let me tell you: that was the EASIEST street fighter i ever played. i never used an ultra and i still pull off a win, what a waist of time.

at least in three, i'm in constant worry cause i can get parried at any moment. screw 4 it is FOR NOOBS!!!!

[VYP3R22]

oh rly? its easy against CPU, go play till ur G1 and rank A, also look at the sales of sf 3 and the sales of sf4 since it came out, also look at the popularity of sf 4, crapload of vids everywhere, fan sites, alot of tournaments, sry mate, sf III its nice game but represents the peek of the sf past.

[RageOfLeoEX]

i am a g1, and even there its so easy to come out with a win without using an utra OR a super. the funny thing is. i use the same tatics on third strike. popularity is like hip hop to me, the best was in the past. plus looking at sales means nothing to me.

sf4 is still a good game, but it's still to noob friendly.... kinda like tekken 6.

[VYP3R22]

im g1 as well, if u are so good man why dont go to tournaments? earn some cash, or maybe register to next year evo, maybe we see u beat daigo :D /dreamoff

[RageOfLeoEX]

you would try to do the same as well, am i right? and i can't since i joined the army till my 3 years are done.

but trust me i would love to face him, not beat him. i don't expect myself to win, just to play a pro.

[VYP3R22]

altho im in G1 i dont consider myself that good, still learning, on what are u playing? xbox ps3 or pc?

[RageOfLeoEX]

ps3 mostly on my brother's profile, buti'm also on xbox just in case.

[ohanarchy117]

@RageOfLeoEX Come play at a high level. It's true they dumbed down SF4 but you still have all the advanced techniques such as option select, kara throwing, etc.

[RageOfLeoEX]

i know that... but i miss the PARRY! why did they take it out?

i'm going to go cry now.....

[boothesquirrel]

They didn't take it out, it was that they didn't put it in. It's not like they started with 3s

[RageOfLeoEX]

i know.... but it was so awsome.:(

[boothesquirrel]

it's still awesome, and there's no reason to not play it

[hardgayramen4ever]

@RageOfLeoEX s3 is for noobs, st is a REAL street fighter

[RageOfLeoEX]

@hardgayramen4ever LOL yeah! cept s3 is not noobish. but st is more pro.

[deathcrusader]

2:50

Cheap my ASS mothafucka

[Fenikkusu00]

2nd round of the 2nd match is probably the most Jesus thing ever.

[SpadeHand]

2:09

THE HELL EVEN JUST HAPPENED OH GOD

[eltwopee]

good video. I think dudley is going to be sick in super sf 4

[strafer]

That's a bad match for dudley too.

[tzBIGWORM]

ETE taking that chip!!!

[CaliKorleone]

And they say SF3 is dead. It's still alive and kicking.

[gekkomt]

kuroda plays ggpo?!

[ZxWAKAxZ]

2:07 is so PRO ..........

[monkeyman212]

My ggpo just stopped working... D:

[OVERD0Zis]

Someone experienced enough explain to me what happens on 2:09.

I see a red parry but the first hit form DU's SA isn't blocked by GO. I know this move has 5 hit frames and he only parries 4, but stil something doesnt makes sense to me...

[mysticnamja]

i think the 1st hit had to hit GO or otherwise how can you have red parries? then, he just did 3 more blue parries.

however, the crazy thing is that he did it so damn quickly.

[dkblade27]

he blocked first hit and red parry 2nd, followed by 3 blue parries. he did it really fast. it was a brilliant parry.

[rioshu]

2:07

I was speechless. Kuroda let ETE have a taste of the beast for a few seconds.

Kuroda is Gouki incarnate.

[Chibiherod]

wicked

[gipson123]

2:04-2:16 :O

[joeschmoe5]

2:07 is amazing. great match. thanks for posting. not enough dudely out there.

then there's 1:07, 2:38 and 2:52

[RajHDGaming]

Wow didnt know the likes of Kuroda played online...this is some top level stuff here, deserves soo much more views, but I guess everyone is out watching SF4 vids

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

Actually thanks to SFIV, I'm more into SFIII than ever.

[cookiemaster32]

couldn't agree more.

[RageOfLeoEX]

same here.

[DysisSmile]

ETE is amazing too, give him some props.

[philanthropic]

THIS IS MADNESS

[tgtavolari]

MADNESS?

THIS IS 3S

[toastedguy]

epic

[frenzii3s]

itz mahhhvel baby

[dkblade27]

kurodas execution is so perfect. hes like a machine.

[StamperTV]

yeah he's really on point for sure

[ribbon98]

ahaha

[wuziq]

i like corner crossup 3:30

[akumazilla]

From 2:03 - 2:16 I was like O.o awesome!

[acidglow]

lol right. that was cool

[shaolindov]

My fucking goodness Kuroda was just dancing around him with those deadly resets and cross-ups.

[Lawlz0rz]

From 2:03 is just... savagery.
