SBO 2009 First Round - Kuroda (Q) vs RockPon (Ken)

[killinunderoath]

I love how the crowd is responding to kuroda its awesome! Haha

[Retroman2000]

Ken's Music is hot in this vid.

[bobwayne17]

thumbs up if you were watching Urien beast mode to the right. lol.

[DonAgalloch]

Kuroda even turtles at the character select screen.

[MrGamerMan64]

I like how people talk about Q being awesome in the comments and yet they've probably never used him before......

[davidgem]

I'm digging Kuroda's moonwalk

[Retroman2000]

@davidgem Im so on the same page, Smooth Criminal Haha



[shzindenPL]

the Q is like *i'm so booooored"

[TheFleeingPhoenix]

KURODA IS AMAZING

[damienjeffgomez]

I don't know if to lugh or be amazed

[ArmenianAssassin]

I wanna see the chun-li/urien match to the right....

[egg64]

@ArmenianAssassin Technically you just saw a Chun-Li/Q fight to the left. Fucking RockPon is Justin Wong in disguise with all that turtling.

[KoolDudester]

I love how the japanese announcer is CONSTANTLY blabbering stupid bullshit that no one cares before, before anything's even happening

[morbentfel]

kuroda and rx should team up

[strongnoob]

That would be beastly.

[Mess1ah]

@morbentfel I couldn't agree with you even more!

[imalratty14]

what was goin on on the right screen i see urien!

[CNDigital]

RockPon got RockPWNED

[stretchypants123]

@CNDigital Wow, I never knew the irony of his name until now! lol~ Good Job!

[redxmaverick]

Very entertaining.

[gummyboots]

sad to here you say that

[schneee]

Yeah RockPon, he's the best 3s player, and literally every single spectator is cheering for your defeat in a humiliating way

No pressure

You'll be fine

[LagDotCom]

rofl

[p3on]

can someone throw up a torrent of this

[Sousuke15]

@artichokenman

Dude do you know how hard that is to do? It's nearly impossible to do and kuroda was close to getting it but rockpon blocked. He kuroda done it he would have done the dash hit.

[peraltaman]

1:39 dude ken jumps in then jumps back out but it looks like he didnt even hit the floor lol

[mindahl]

@peraltaman Same thing happens when you see a Yun in Genei Jin on youtube without the green shadows. The various transitions from the actual display, the upload edits, the device recording etc.. = lost frames. I'm sure if you watched the actual game you'd not notice this.

[Artichokeman]

2:30 wtf jab hit confirm crazy reactions, even if it didnt combo thats still crazy

[AgelessObsession]

1:40 - The guy's so scared of Kuroda he jumps in and then jumps right back out.

Great display. I was worried Kuroda had dropped 3s, but it's good to see his Q is as intimidating as ever.

[derekmok]

> it's good to see his Q is as intimidating as ever.

Kuroda's Q is actually even better than it's ever been, hard as it is to believe. His reactions are better, he reads his opponents better, and it's even harder to guess when he goes from defense to offense.

[monkeyman212]

I <3 Kuroda!

[peraltaman]

2:58 was a sick ass fake roundhouse into a combo super fuckin props

[6Diego1Diego9]

Has anyone ever seen Kuroda do the self destruct super? that would be awesome

[seiyaken69]

Yes, you are right, I read this, well, Kuroda is the best

[syan8182]

MoonwalK!

[cheeseUout]

my god. kuroda is a freaking machine. he's so scary to play against. Personally, i wouldn't have much fun playing against him. i'd be slamming the damn joystick in frustration. I mean, how the hell did he know to parry that first low kick at 0.53?

[UltraDavid]

@cheeseUout

kuroda was constantly fishing for parries. notice that when ken gets to his max attack range, kuroda occasionally walks forward or crouches. hes not just walking, hes pressing toward for a parry in case of a high/mid attack by ken. and hes not crouch blocking, hes down parrying in case of a low attack. he presses down more than toward because he knows that at max range ken gets more damage from low attack xx super than just st roundhouse, so ken's more likely to use the low.

[AneurysmXX]

Actually in that case, Kuroda saw it coming, he was bopping his head up and down but right before that parry he was just crouching. his sense of the game and timing are just incredible.

[AneurysmXX]

team taiwan not so impressive....

[peraltaman]

what and u are?

[AneurysmXX]

I am ok

[schneee]

He's not even bothering to dash back and forth

It looks strange, I rarely see Q walking for several seconds at a time without a dash

[exodusx599]

Since when does kuroda pick the deadly double against a shoto?

[zatoTWO]

it doesnt matter what he picks against foreigners

[conroexlexx]

kuroda loves to toy around especially if you're not a jap player

[ultimatevegito]

I wish Kuroda won SBO with Q

[ongyj]

I saw a picture of Kuroda sensei crumbling onto the ground after he and MOV got OCVed by Momochi's Makoto. I just hope to tell him that you win and lose in competitions, and more importantly, everyong appreciates his entertaining matches with non-top tier characters all the time.

But maybe for a change, if he picks a top tier like Chun-li in the next SBO, it'll be entertaining to see how he can school other players with top tier as well =)

[seiyaken69]

There are 3 chars Kuroda does'nt play, Yang, Urien and Chun-Li. not 100 % for Urien

[SulanElfe]

I heard Kuroda taught RX how to play Urien

[ongyj]

You're referring to the Kuroda DVD series right? Well they don't cover 3 characters (not sure about Urien as well), but doesn't mean for sure that Kuroda doesn't play them. Maybe Kuroda's too good with them, or he thinks that they are so easy to use that he doesn't bother to make a DVD out of them.

I mean, if he can play almost the entire roster, there's no reason why he won't complete it with just 3 more characters to pick up, I guess?

[seiyaken69]

you're right, i didn't think of that, thanks you. I'm sorry for my english, i really want to discut but I can't :/

[DonkeyFist]

I have the Kuroda Urien DVD, it's the least impressive DVD of the lot, but it's still top level 3S play.

[DonkeyFist]

Kuroda has the top Urien in Japan. Everyone, including famed RX, learned Urien from Kuroda.

[strafer]

You believe in rumors way too much.
