SFIII: 3rd Strike - Makoto [Takahi] vs Elena [Azuma]

[ChanelofStuff]

0:32 i thought she was grabbing her boobs at first XD

[DutchKidRanger]

Makoto is the best female character in the street fighter series. She can rape anybody provided you're willing to master her.

[DonAgalloch]

I don't play Makoto so I'm a bit unfamiliar with her mechanics, but what the heck happened at 1:14? Is that move supposed to...go through your opponent like that?

[AfterBurnerEX1]

@DonAgalloch it was supposed to punch elena and knock her back but for some reason it went right through, maybe some trick elena has, idk

[Rothiii]

@AfterBurnerEX1 probably happened at the right moment that elena had an invincibility frame

[YoungFresh718]

I JUST LOVE MAKOTO'S BG MUSIC

[wakkawakka101]

The chip fail in the first round broke my heart.

[kshino]

i don't believe that bullshit at the end!

[AGElite87]

the end of the first match nice elena A for effort

[Nickcool1996]

2:08 Awesome super O_O

2:41 Damn it, Makoto's my favorite character but I was still rooting for Elena >_<

[Chuckwunoso]

ELENA NEVER WINS! Sf3 owners step up your Elena game!

[FPietros]

Elena must be the most exotic sexy woman of all fighting games... I can only think Mai Shiranui being as exotic and sexy as her...

[realbodizzle]

This match is a reflection on 3rd Strike's art style. Notice how fluid Elena's movement and animations (a tribute to capoeira) compared to Makoto's rigid style of Karate.

The pinnacle of 2D gaming.

[sickweirdo]

I didnt know Africans did Caporera (cant spell)

[wyrmqueen]

@sickweirdo

So? White people invented Boxing yet Balrog and Dudley uses boxing...

[Conchobhar]

@sickweirdo Capoeira is for everybody!

[SageRuffin]

@Conchobhar

Fuggit. *Martial arts* are for everybody. Don't let anyone tell you different.

[Conchobhar]

@SageRuffin I agree wholeheartedly.

[UzumakiMatrix]

I am an elena fighter and I saw many mistakes from this dude Azuma...he isn't as agressive as he could be and he didn't use tons of EX moves from Elena for example in his come back at the end with his special...why didn't he use elena's EX flaires to finish him off !! it's frustrating...elena is a super fun character and has tons of combos it's just crazy how some people undermind her

[zapikachu]

@UzumakiMatrix Yeah I'm an Elena player too. Honestly, the way he plays Elena is asking to get hit and his momentum can be very high and he doesn't take advantage of it. I think he was nervous probably but this wasn't a good outcome for him.

[SukiyakixD]

WTF @ 0:44 ....

That EX orochi should have knocked elena down O_o' wth is goin' on.

[VexxxMaster69]

@SukiyakixD It's Street Fighter--expect to unexpected.

I mean, that's what homo-genius is for.

[Havermayer]

Takashi could have won at 2:27 if he had did Makoto's taunt first. This would have made the next combo do enough damage to win. Azuma almost came back after that.

[raizen912]

wow insane match...that was a hell of a comeback...that last kick shoulda won it for elena

[OnokuKakoma]

didnt kno elena uses capoeira fighting style...O.o

[shota777]

it's a weird version of capoeira...

[Mafiaboss58]

Makoto moves are are so hard to perform...

[shadowghostra]

BS, Elena shoulda hit Makoto with that special...but excellent match tho...

[rockstarjak37]

Ex goes though if the opponent is dashing that's why.

[SheuhX]

1:13 is a glitch they must've been like WTF? Its because ELena is a screwed up character.

[TSSMiyamoto]

wow. it's really sad to see elena players lose matches that they have nearly won all because they don't utilize elena's chipping power. azuma...

[rockstarjak37]

About Makoto her ex Hayate is evil!!! That's why.

[TheRealX9]

this is one wacked video. why the hell did makoto go through elena? did she roll cancel?

[mackinzie]

ex hayate sometimes goes through some moves that make the character airborn ie ex machine gun blow and also goes through some other moves that have high invinciblity like another ex dash punch sometimes you can ex dash punch through dashes sometimes

[IceyChuck]

I'm sorry, did EX Hayate go through Elena? WTF?

[krazziejrboi]

i guess her she moved out the way lol

[sibladeko]

Didn't JWong recently counterpick as Elena to beat the Makoto who sent him into losers at Final Round X?

[IceyChuck]

Yes.

[AGBAGTITKA]

nice finish indeed.

[ixd34thxi]

i like how they both froze for a second after the ex-oroshi cuz they didn't realize she wasnt downed.

[rampant1apart]

I'm just happy that I got to see an Elena player. I don't seem to run into that that often.

[sowutifmahsnsux]

same

[IceyChuck]

Nice match. Great finish.
