  • That was great. I thought Ino did a great job of dictating pace for a lot of the match, but Kuroda is beast.

  • 2:32 There Ino is in Kuroda's head

  • That double grab fail at 3:02 was cool

  • i love how kuroda gives up the first round to figure out ino's playstyle

  • how does kuroda do a light punch and go into a fucking shoryuken???someone please explain this to me.

  • @darkowin Hit the jab at the right body frame, then do the HP Shoryu. That really is all that there is to it (note: practice). If anything, it's similar to linking a jab to HK tatsu, though the latter is much easier to do.

    If you want to feel like you can link the jab to HP Shoryu 100%, practice on Sean :)

  • Ino is amazing with ken. This was a good match

  • 1:37 oh my f*cking god, did anyone notice he did a light punch between the light tatsu and the shoryu ? i didn't even know it was possible, i tried it and it's sooooo hard to do.

  • wow, why does Ken's 1:24 kick do so much damage? i mean i know Akuma's def is low, but that much?

  • @heyheyalan1

    lowest in the game son 1024

  • @darkowin huh?

  • @heyheyalan1

    Akuma's defense quotient is 1024, the lowest in the game. The character with the highest is Q, around ~2100 ( with 3 taunts )

  • @darkowin so Ken's fierce kick will always do this much dmg to Akuma?

  • @heyheyalan1 it means when hes hit he loses alot of health aka lowest health in the game

  • Uh... Ken is not top tier and he is far from broken.

  • kuroda does use chun li

    please,stop talking about things you don't know ktx

  • This Kuroda is sick... top three 3rd strike Akumas I 've seen... and to add that he's matching against a broken top tier as Ken.

  • sauce

  • which level or map is this???? stage???

    sf3 3rd strike??

  • @neoaaliyah61 SF3 Third Strike - Akuma's stage

  • @2:37 amazing read by Ino.

  • @ankoripasta that wasnt a read...that was reaction

  • @713nd If that was reaction then jesus christ what the fucking shit.

  • @ankoripasta yea, ino's reaction is insane, he threw super after mov wiffed a mantis slash with yang

  • @ankoripasta Yeah that was reaction, I've had it done to me in ken mirror matches by kalisto. that's when you know you're not gonna win a round, lol

  • @Dredzy

    its not that hard to input a super when you see a move coming out. although if your opponent sticks out a jab and you throw out a super right away, youre going to get punished.

  • @dkblade27 ehh yeah, I know? What I was saying was it was in reaction to seeing it was a cr. mik and he could punish with super? lol

  • @ankoripasta Nah guys, he was buffering that shit. Im not saying he read the whiffed poke, no way he couldve. But he was buffering supers.

  • I wish kuroda would knock up my wife and be the father of my children.

  • that's funny... I was thinking the same thing

  • @caiorenner88

    WTF??? lol.

    This comment made my day :)

  • are you serious what kind of s!!t is that to say.............RANDOM

  • it wouldnt be your children

  • I like Kuroda's use of the air fireball feints (inputting fireball when he is too low for the projectile to come out, but the animation still starts up).

  • @paulhindt I noticed the too, he followed it up with a grab. Mind games.

  • the question isn't 'who does kuroda use?' the question is 'is there anyone he doesn't?'

  • Kuroda doesn't use Chun Li

  • I don't think I've ever seen him use Dudley, but I'm sure there are vids out there. I can prolly imagine how awesome it is.

  • @raahmoan He refuses to use top tier characters.

  • haha si amigo si, no se nada del juego (;

  • Si estas llamando malos a Kuroda y a Ino es que no tienes npi.

  • high level

  • Tu comentario demuestra tu poco conocimiento acerca del juego.

  • lol at 5:57

    That's Kuroda for you.

  • you need to be closer.

  • but half my arm is touching the other guy, wtf

  • doesnt matter. Your not Zangief you cant grab there... um I forget what there called so I'll just call em sprites/character models

  • It's almost weird to see a gouki that's defensive ;P I wish I had the chance to see him play Dudley.

  • watch kuroda's gouki. its amazing defense carried over from his playing q.

  • um... his main was gouki before he decided to beast with Q.

    he was/is one of the best gouki's ever in sf3

  • does anyone know if kuroda plays 4?

    i doubt he does but im just wondering.

  • i've seen a Kuroda play Rufus on youtube before. Not sure if its this Kuroda though.

  • no way are you serious? omg omg

    link? pleaseee.

  • kuroda was messing with him that last round... attempting to kara demon and kkz haha.

  • The Ken player should've known medium dragon punches don't connect properly in a combo from that range!

  • The Ken player flopped it at the end of the last round! Could've brought it back with a super or super combo after the missed Akuma super!

  • Oh and sorry for double posting, but the full name of the KKZ is Kongo Kokuretsu Zan.

  • Watchin Ino(Ken) shows how overrated Daigo is.

  • I don't like Daigo that much but alls I knows is he's a great comebacker. His Evo2K4 fight was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to comebacks.

    But yeah Ino is a great Ken player.

  • all matches are insane !

  • Oww that KKZ did quite damage even in block o_0

  • Great fights, they both reached into their bag of tricks and brought them all out. I love the frame trapping

  • what do you mean frame trapping ? im curious as a mutherfucker

  • a frame trap is when you trick someone into thinking you are vulnerable, they try to punish you and you hit them before they can punish.

    there is more to it than that, but that is a general definition

  • thanks for the info ^^

  • I've seen Ino playing SF4 tourneys but does Kuroda play SF4 competitively?

  • wtf was that super at 5:58 :|

  • With two super bars, hit down down down and all three punches.

  • down down down 3 punch KKZ. I can't remember the exact name but I know the letters to it lol

  • Kengou Kokuretsu Zan!

  • You can only use that Akuma super if someone is jumping in.

  • He also used it to chew up enough life to score the win, pretty awesome.

  • you can combo it...well reset to kkz but since the lightening can't be parried i consider it a combo.

  • How? You must have to jump in with a hurricane or something like that!

  • d. mk, light hurricane, jab to reset, then kkz realllllly fast. the lightening will hit them before they touch the ground.

  • I've tried to do that, but always end up a bit too slow. Triple down motion is harder than it looks haha. Have to drum at it with 2 fingers. Even so, with the timing you basically have to cancel the KKZ off the jab lol

  • yeah thats basically what you have to do. and you have to time your jab right also. i can do this sometimes, but never in game.

  • Haha yeah, I saw it pulled off successfully for the first time in the arcade at my school the other day. That guy was insanely good. There are a few tournament players at my school, but I never bothered to ask their names because they're a bit antisocial lol

  • do you happen to go to cal poly pomona?

  • These two guys are kindah good!

  • 6:00 i fucking hate when that happens.

  • Wow these guys are like.. too good >_>

    Both really good at Ken an Gouki but dam...

    these guys make Daigo look like crap lol.

  • Awesome, my two fav characters to play with... I would love to fight either of these fighters!!!

  • wow they keep red parrying all the supers and ex and red fireballs... jesus even the mp-hp ken target combo.

  • sry mine explain what does red parry means? how is it different from the normal parrying?

  • Red parrying is parrying just the last move of a super, after blocking everything else. Not as risky, and it kills the downtime at the end of the super and makes it easier to counterattack.

  • Actually the only difference between a red parry and a blue parry is that a red one comes out after you parry at least the second hit of a blocked combo string. After blocking the first hit of a multi hit string, you can red parry the second hit or any hit afterwards. The advantage is that if you know the timing of the red parry, it's not a guess and it's free damage after the parry.

    In some cases it's risky and others it's not.

  • Your explanation is too complicated. A red parry is when you parry out of blockstun. It's literally the only thing you can do out of blockstun besides blocking. In general this is why you don't see airtight blockstrings in 3s, because they get parried.

    Most red parries are at the end of multi-hit moves, like supers, in order to recover more quickly and punish better.

  • A red parry can come out at any point, after the first hit, in a combo/string/multi-hit attack. Seems like they have to be done faster because you have to go twice the distance (from left to right or right to left, through neutral) with the joystick & catch one of the quick hits of an attack. It also looks like the animation freeze on a red parry is shorter than blue so I guess that requires faster reaction time to get out a counter attack.

  • After a red parry any further parries of a c/s/mh-a will be blue unless you slip a block into the rest of the attack and then it starts all over again.

  • Genius match.Best akuma I have seen.

  • Yeah... his tactics are crazy. Considering Kuroda mainly plays Q, or played, not sure if he actually switched or just decided to mix it up, he really got good at defense. With a character like gouki, you either have to have a godly offense, or godly defense. Actually that would help with any character :P

  • Kuroda plays the entire character list. He's considered top 10 with at least five of them.

    The only reason you mostly see his videos of Q is because he has a pet-peeve with people showing his gameplay vids online.

  • Not disputing you, but I'd like to know how you know that?

  • I heard there's a ranking site. But I can't find it... Maybe because it's in Japanese. I don't know. But I too would like to get a look at that list.

  • most of the kuroda stories were told between Jap pros. he had released some DVDs among 3rd Strike players. but he didn't like the videos to be uploaded on the Internet, so you can only find very few of them. There are some players who benefit from his video a lot. Don't ask me where to get the DVDs, cuz I don't have it either :(

  • or both

    :P

  • I ordered the Tougeki 08 Third Strike DVD from Play-Asia after watching this. Heard Kuroda's Gouki OCV'ed another well known team.

  • What is that move by Gouki called @ 5:58?

  • Kongou kokuretsu zan (spelling?). Everyone else calls it the KKZ.

  • 1:39 is RIDICULOUS! How the hell do you combo fast enough after the jab to avoid a reset?

  • yeah it looks hard but enough training, its not that hard. you can do that with Ryu too with jab into ex-shoryu. just make sure jab is close enough.

  • takes a bit of practice, throwing a super after any LP/LK move usually needs a lot of speed. I remember I was so happy when I was finally able to use a low LK to buffer Hugo's gigas breaker. That came in handly against Yun/Yang players.

  • It would be interesting to see Kuroda play characters like Ibuki or Oro.

  • Oh my god. 3:00-3:02 was straight nuts. These guys are so good it's just crazy. Really awe-inspiring. I could play this game for the next million years straight and not be anywhere near that level.

  • Ehh.... parrying a Sepu isn't that difficult.

    2:33 to 2:37 on the other hand, that was just something you can't makeup.

  • that was pretty insane...

  • It amazes me how they can parry after crossing over or red parry all the time.

  • I kinda like how kuroda's akuma depends alot on spacing. It's alot more interesting than the crazy dragon flip rushdown akumas you see, or the ones who can kara-demon. And it's definitely alot better than the air fireball spam akumas. Too bad there's not alot of videos uploaded of him.

  • i don't care if ken did lose that one round. That multiple parry than ken did in the air during akuma's whirlwind kick was amazing!

  • OMFG! These guys red parry like its nothing! Fucking beasts!

  • HmongYou2Tube needs to get a life on hating Daigo and the fan boys. I see him degrading Daigo in every third strike video.

    Shogster90 included.

    yes Daigo is a little overrated but thats how it is. he was the first to full-parry chun's sa2 in that kind of tourney so thats how he became popular. the other players did that shit afterwards.

  • 2:36 = ridiculous reaction time

  • i LOVE how they were spacing each other SOO well in those 10 game seconds..

  • after watching it for the third time I actually see what happened lol

    ino was baiting the poke just so he could super through it

    ON REACTION like you said

    crazy

  • Parrying the second set isn't any more risky since the timing's exactly the same; hell interrupting the super is more risky than anything. Daigo parried the whole super because in that situation he had to. Justin's Chun had so much life left that only a jump in super combo would do the job and he couldn't have gotten that off of anything besides waiting until the combo was finished. Justin never talked shit and Daigo doesn't speak English anyway.

  • how come daigo's name came up from this video anyways...its already known that Kuroda is the best player in japan...daigo wouldnt be able to touch him....plain and simple daigo doesnt play anymore...end of story

  • Yeah, exactly! Fucking fan boys!

  • Way to pull information out of your ass.

  • You guys need to watch more people who have parried Chun-Li's Hyouko-Sen SAII. Boss Makoto did it jumping back, Hayao(HU) parried half of it and went into a 360x2 SAI. Pyrolee did it. MOV did a red parry half way. All which these guys did under pressure. Now, how come these guys aren't overrated like Daigo? I already know some mad fan boy is going to say "well they didn't parry the whole thing."

  • Well daigo cant be that overrated since he has won alot of the big tournaments and has been renowned as the number 1 street fighter player overall by several of the top players :p

  • Wow, just reading the comments. So many people trying to defend Daigo. Wow, you guys don't know how much of a fan boys you guys sound like. Seriously, I like Daigo's playing style. I think hes fucking awesome. But seriously hes overrated now. It's 2008 little boys and girls. Daigo parried it back in 2003, to white boys in America that time, that was something new. Everyone screaming made it seem awesome. So many Hyouko-Sen parries now the Japs don't even celebrate about it now.

  • well i was a yuki otoko fanboy for the longest time but now im convinced. kuroda's offense may not be as beastly as yuki's, but combined wit his defense and still godly offense, he edges yuki out as the best gouki.

  • Kuroda's Gouki = insane

    Ino's Ken = insane

    I can just imagine rock yelling, "red techs up the ass". There is quite probably no higher play than what is shown here.

  • the reason why Kuroda goes further than any other well known Gouki player is his defense. Kuroda plays solid defense, because his main character is Q, which requires solid D as the play style. You can check those videos of other Gouki players. Some plays really wonderful offense, but gets knocked out in a few combos because of only a couple of mistakes in defense. We all know Gouki's life bar is short and defense is low. Dead Gouki does not make damage.

  • "Dead Gouki does not make damage."

    is probably the smartest thing I have ever read about this game.

  • Daigo was good at his time, he quit 3s so it doesn't really matter anyway. Personally and I'm sure the majority of 3s community can agree, Ino's ken is superior, sadly ken is his alternate character. Kuroda is without a doubt the best Gouki in the world, proving it by being the first Gouki to ever win SBO.

  • Kuroda is the best in japan overall

    ino has more knowledge of the game than anyone i have ever met not to mention his execution is quite to par. i think alot of people are better/more fun to watch than daigo, though i'm not saying he's not good he just seems very text book.

  • I thought Inoue used Makoto for Super Battle Opera? It kinda sucked, I wanted to see RX, and KO's team make it at least to the semi-finals to put up a show. They ARE good but man. I guess other Japanese players are just catching up with them. Ino Ken is awesome. Better than Daigo PHO SHO fan boys.

    No i'm not being a fan boy of Ino. I just think hes better than Daigo.

  • And you get to decide whos the best?

  • buuu you loooooooooser

  • i wanna see yuki otoko vs kuroda. would be fun after the q vs akuma match they had before.

  • there is a video about it I think. He raped the other akuma. Search for "kuroda sbo qualifier" or something like that.

  • red parry exhibition `-`

  • lmao

  • mmm, i hope you know daigo isnt the best ken. Hes good, just overrated because of the justin wong vs him evo video. I'm almost certain kuroda would beat him.

  • There's no way you can say that.. Daigo and Ino are completely 2 different players. You can't say one would've loss while the other one would win. It's a terrible statement, since it can never be proven.

  • Then how can you state "I'm almost certain Kuroda would beat [Daigo]?" How can you compare Daigo in his prime (which was at least 2-3 years ago) against Kuroda's 2008 Akuma?

    The Justin Wong moment seems to have divided most causal 3rd strike players into 2 vocal, equally braindead groups: the "OMG DAIGO SO GUD" and the reactionary "OMG DAIGO SO OVERRATED" crowds. Go look at his SBO championship, 2 EVO finals, etc., and put his skill in perspective: an elite, not invincible, Ken player.

  • you need to watch other good Ken players like Kashi, Matsuken, Hirai, Keeper. Because you are so corrupted. You think Daigo is the best. I've seen so many people parry Chun-Li's special, it's nothing now. Pyrolee, Hayao, Boss Makoto did it. I can do it myself (but no under pressure). 2003 That was back in the day when people weren't even that good in 3s. Now it's like they've taken 3s to the best level. Daigo at his prime would not beat the Kens now because the new Kens have been exaushted.

  • but then try to imagine if daigo did grow with the community that has become so advanced, its unfair to say that he cant beat the "new" kens because back at 04, ino couldn't beat daigo...so its a cold case...unless daigo comes back

  • Daigo would be good. But he isn't playing no more, and people must accept that. All I have to say is. If you like Daigo, don't be a fan boy and defend him (Not saying that you are).

    It IS fair to say that he can't beat now aday Ken players. He lost to Valle in EVO2k6. A lot of Japanese Ken players could take out Valle easily under pressure. What does that tell you? Ino is a very good player and could keep up with him.. Trust me. Ino won SBO6 cause hes good, not of playing his whole life.

  • Pretty good argument, but if I recall the SRK forums correctly, Daigo had more or less retired/disappeared around '05/06 and that a probable reason to come to EVO was a chance at the huge first place prize money.

    Type his name on youtube, and you will find a significant gap in any 3S matches with his name on it. Don't think it was a year's time, but it was enough to throw his 3S game.

    Daigo's statement on his poor play was that he wasn't used to the PS2 port which sounds legitimate.

  • gg kara throw @ 4:10

  • Okay, lemme start by saying I'm a complete 3S noob.

    How come Kuroda only used Akuma's air fireball in one of the matches? In a game like 3S, seems like air fireball like Gouki's could be pretty useful. Is it kinda like CvS2 air fireball where you can TK it for a cross up? Or does it just suck ass for some reason I can't see in this game? Also, what was up with the random KKZ at the end? Well, it seemed random anyway.

    Good reaction shit though, and nice parries.

  • its just kuroda's play style..most gouki players use the air fireball to spaceout, defensive purposes...and even attacking as well..but kuroda has such solid defense and great mind games...most other players would expect him to use it but he fakes it instead using jump hp..that plus his defense makes him the best gouki player...according to rankings from japan

    oh yeah and that KKZ im pretty sure he did on reaction cuz it looked as if Ino was gonna do a low mk...but i guess he reacted too soon

  • You can't really TK air fb in 3s, but if you watch Uraken or Yuki Otoko they use air fireball a lot more.

  • The air fireballs were prolly to keep Ino under pressure. As for the KKZ, he was prolly trying to finish the match quickly. Since it does a little more damage then Raging demon if done right.

  • Nice red parry on the SA1

  • is this Kuroda the same Kuroda who has been using Q??

  • yup

  • those are some mad reflexes...both of'em!!

  • How the FUCK can Ino pull off those supers at such random times...his prediction skills are really good.

  • It's called hit confirming.

  • he's talking about moments like 2:36, which isn't a hit confirm. smartass.

  • He did that cuz Kuroda whiffed that low forward, that combined with the fact that Ino was probably looking for him to do something like that makes it fairly straight forward.

  • that was on reaction genius....at this level of play...its to be expected...did you not see the red parries on reaction

  • Kuroda :o_god

  • i would love to see this team and team rx beast a lot of teams in sbo!!!!

  • RX is with KO and Nuki...

  • Yeah, someone just corrected me in the 2/2 video, too. :) Thanks for clearing it up for me, though!

  • wow... im shocked too. i like all those skills they use. all those red parries and unexpected random supers to counter normal moves. ridiculous red parries.

  • I've just...I...omigod. I've never seen such skillful play in my life. These two are simply brilliant. I am looking so forward to this year's Tougeki, especially if they team up with RX!
