SFIII: 3rd Strike - Game Spot Versus League Battle [10th Dan] Part 1

[7eventhSamurai]

As much as I dislike Nuki's Chun, that was some clutch playing at 11:11

[ReyesRobby]

03:01 Whoa! Parrying both ways. Good hustle.

[TheWolfWolford]

OMG. 20:15 and 25:10. EPIC

[TheWolfWolford]

3:02 hell yeah! fuck your unblockable xD

[JeremyL1983]

RX to play SFIV...wonder what character he would main...hope Urien is surprise inclusion in SSFIV!!

[Tidalflame1019]

RX is BEAST!!!!!!!!!!

[ucimed]

Does nuki canceled a tatsumaki into a SA3 in minute 24:15? Never saw that before.

[g1mpy]

ya i did that in one of my replays i made xD

[Protectobot]

I'm assuming it was 1 hit of the short tatsu :)

[shingathing]

sick parry by alex on the unblockable .. i think around 3 lol

[AsdTom]

The great and powerful RX OWNING!

[RyukendenY]

20:15 hey amazing

[qwasdninja]

3:01 too, superhuman parrying.

[IkariAin]

thank you for keep us update The Shend.....

hope to see soon ストⅢ３ｒｄ　段位戦　09.11.20（金）　十段戦 here.

What is your source for the japan videos? NicoDouga?

[tyronek1004]

wow nuki literally raped boss and rx for a while.

[gekkomt]

rx seemed to be a little more rushed this time around, tryna fry too soon.

but he damn sure is still the man!

[VGMuziksngames]

damn RX must be rusty never seen him lose so much

[joellera]

As much as the fanaticism over 3s seems nice, I wish this would be apparent in the state of the scene in the US. Obviously it's not apparent considering SF4 is played more by leaps and bounds. =P

Why can't we do like them and just play?

[somanysomanycookies]

rx is still the man.

[VGMuziksngames]

rx didnt get raped he was playing damn well abd he almost made to comebacks

[HmongYou2Tube]

Chun-Li got raped by Urien's big dick! Haha!

[CalmLikeABombq]

What's the name of the person playing Ken?

[skills2gunz]

I hate Chun-li, but these are good matches.

[WIIboxing]

BOSS FUCKIN KILLS. RX got his ass handed in this video

[creeempuff]

i understand what u mean.. its most frustrating to play against a turtling chun or yun

but i dunno.. maybe they know their games are recorded n will be watched worldwide.. so reputation is at stake

or maybe since the opponent is also at such a high level too.. they dun wanna seem disrespectful if they were to play less seriously

[dropkicktype]

lol genki with the alternating double sided parry orz

[creeempuff]

any character (top or low tier) thats used at a high level is impressive.

IMO because there are so many yun/ken/chun players everywhere, most ppl are very familiar with those characters' advantages and have learnt how to deal with it (well at least the top jap players haha) so the advantage is there but its not massive.

[nephewchan]

there's no such thing as cheap, quit being a noob

[ai2006b]

See that stupid attitude? Thats exactly what I'm talking about. Yes, there is such things as cheap. I don't care that people play to win and do everything to win.

If you can't see that some things are cheap, you are blind and a moron. This isn't even about being a noob or not, you retard. Fuck.

[nephewchan]

There is no such thing as cheap, it's called playing to win. if you cant see that then your the fucking retard, fag. u probably get owned by turtlers thats why u say shit like, playing "just to play" and not to win all the time because ur used to losing

[nephewchan]

@ai2006b

Umm yeah too bad you aren't getting agreed with that's why u have 6 thumbs down, and i haven't even rated yet.... and it's FROM THE 3rd STRIKE COMMUNITY. look at u man, just stfu

[TheDemon6690]

Cheap! Oh now come on man. why did you have go use a term so the trolls come running out and bashing you? You want cheap? I've seen guys resort to just throwing for the entire rounds.

You gotta do what you gotta do to win. If that means resorting to cheap tactics and cornering then ya. But, it's still cheap either way. I think some people confuse cheap and skills.

[MomentsReprive]

Are you saying throws are cheap?

[TheDemon6690]

Continuous throwing yes. If you and i played and all I did was throw you continuously then you would be ok with that?

[MomentsReprive]

Yes I would be fine with that because players adapt... if all you do is turtle in the corner and throw then you're just limiting yourself. It takes so much more skill to JUST throw all game instead of actually playing normally. Only if you're playing someone decent of course because they'll tech you.

[hinduleech]

Ill tech you, make u whiff and punish. 3s is all about options. I guess you think you can win evo if you throw everyone over and over again.... good luck.

[TheDemon6690]

I am saying continuous throwing is not fair play. Obviously just like others, you didnt bother to read my original response carefully.

[SquadFullClipK]

bro there are ways to escape throws quit crying noob

[TheDemon6690]

another basement dweller trying to start a fight on the internet. You think i care or give a shit that there are ways to escape throws.

[qwasdninja]

Umm... throws are in no way cheap. Skill is the ability to realise what tactics and tools are the most efficient and the mastery of said tacticts.

In short, the ability to win.

[TheDemon6690]

I stated if its continuously throwing the opponent and nothing else, then ya. thats cheap. did you bother to read my reply carefully?

[moonlitearthx14]

Fuck no, throws aren't cheap. There are a lot of attacks that beat throws when done at the same time, like pretty much any short attack (why tick throws work) or reversal. Throws do small damage, rarely have comboability... The only thing a throw is remotely good for is beating someone who only blocks or is parry happy. Maybe you're confusing 3S with SF2:CE

[derekmok]

Throws aren't cheap. Chun-Li is cheap.

[moonlitearthx14]

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Street Fighter is popular because there are so few opportunities to be cheap. Go play MvC or Smash or something with very little character balance, and you'll come back to SF3 and realize "cheap" barely exists. It's even harder to be cheap in 4, too.

[RyukendenY]

Sean, 12, Q players play those chars to prove something.If they want to win they would just go for better chars.

[at1withWii]

correct, japanese players have a decent amount of knowledge of the entire cast.

[XenK64]

Over 20mins of 3rd Strike. :)

[somanysomanycookies]

hell. 1 minute of 3S is better than anything right now. cough cough sf4 cough.

[okutabareo]

Wow, Nuki did a Tatsumaki cancel to Jinrai at 24:15. Haha.

[Iceman2890]

i love boss's gouki :)

and nuki is certainly impressive, raping with both chun and ken

[derekmok]

Is it supposed to be impressive now to win with Chun-Li and Ken? Nuki is the only 10th Dan who has to hide in a cowardly fashion behind top-tier characters. RX is on Urien, Boss is on Gouki and Makoto, Kuroda is on Ryu, Genki is on Alex. Nuki picked two characters who have a massive advantage against all of them.

[KamuiRyu88]

Sorry but what's the problem?

If he tinks that Chun and Ken can give him an advantage why he can't use them lol.

Plus I've never seen Nuki use other characters so what's the point?

Btw I was cheering for RX =P

[onreload]

chun and ken don't have "massive" advantages over characters that are considered right below them. nuki's character is chun, and that's how he's always done it.

[Iceman2890]

I can certainly understand what you're saying, but at the same time, it still requires a lot of skill to play two separate characters at such a high level.

And in my opinion, nuki is the easiest chun-li player on the eyes. I also believe he's used chun in every street fighter he's played (not sure about alpha), and i can respect him for that

[KaalVeiten]

Nuki used Akuma in Alpha 3. He used Chun in the first two though.

[KamuiRyu88]

I agree.. Also Nuki used Chun Li in SF4 also..

[HmongYou2Tube]

It's not like he can really use anyone else. Haha..

[Kenshin0099]

wow a ton of pro matches

[Shintroy]

Oh wait this is mostly Chun raping

[ArmenianAssassin]

wow RX getting raped :(

[peraltaman]

haha 2am....3rdstrike = crack ha

[theaznfishy]

Anytime its ever gamepot arcade you can already assume its going to be awesome.

[Iceman2890]

agreed 100%. you can also assume its a giant video of goodness
