Thelo (E. Honda) vs Slayer KFK (T. Hawk)

[Surewhynot180]

the epitome of fighting games

[CraigBarduk]

I can hardly watch this without bursting out in laughter, and I'm not sure why...

[Artaneius]

And this is why I stopped playing games at the competitive level. Everyone just camps unlike how it used to be years ago when people weren't afraid of losing.

[TheFuuru]

@Artaneius the problem is in the game design, they should make games that reward offensive playstyle, games in which you CAN'T camp.

[Artaneius]

@TheFuuru

How does a fighting game reward offensive play styles? The only way that is going to happen is if you get banned or disqualified if you don't commit to an attack within 15-20 seconds. Camping is going to be in every game when people treat it seriously.

[TheFuuru]

@Artaneius Well the game designers should invent it, for example if you don't attack you lose your health or something like that. They have to add more bars and more complexity, otherwise it will always be like that. SF IV is the same shit, lots of broken and boring matchups.

[fheisk]

youtube's 24 frames per second can't handle the spam, look at it round the jab to two frames sometimes

[fheisk]

omg i was laughing the WHOLE time holy shit i guess that's just my sense of humor, i know my jokes tend to piss people off, i guess that's why, i like shit like this

for the record i was laughing because it was a response in a forum post about why street fighter games need to be better balanced/what's broken etc, and someone's ya this isn't broken...(video link)

[sillierok]

@fheisk This is just a really terrible matchup for poor Hawk... and he can it least put up a little bit more of a fight than this... The guys at Capcom do their best, but you can't win 'em all. Imbalances happen.

[monoperative]

I can't believe I watched the whole video. What a pair of clowns.

[Valcien]

Hawk dive wouldve missed anyway. xD

[DarkApostleMatt]

just no.

[ManhwaFan]

And I thought Samurai Shodown was bad. SF Fans have no taste.

[CogDisso]

E. Honda demonstrating sumo's superior grasp of yomi.

[Cesariono]

Man, if I was commentating this at the time, I would've said something like "THIS COULD GO EITHER WAY!" just to be a dick.

[vvav]

This looks more like Sirlin vs. Sirlin than anything I think I've ever seen before.

[MrAp0calypse]

LLLL

[SithDarthGendo]

I loved the part where T. Hawk was spamming jabs.

[artinbazikyan]

ultimate mind games

[vladlander]

high level mind games

[xXTyroneBiggumsXx]

I laughed way harder then I should have, oh man that was good, I can only imagine what each player was thinking.

[FigureFive]

I like the part when they jabbed.

[folgoraEX]

SO

FUCKING

INTENSE

[omghax0rl33t]

Halfway through I thought Hawk really had him beat, but Honda came through with the surprise win

[Guccikebab]

LOL hahahhaha !

[elqimporta]

Play my t hawk AZTEC OME best hawk on xbox live

[xrayt3ch]

Why even play?

[Ammaculate44]

THAT WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS! ALL THAT TIME FOR NOTHING, GO KFK, LOLLOL.

[nomickok2]

who won?

[SuperSaiyanMax]

OH SHIT I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER SECOND OF THIS ACTION

[zeh0the0don]

Jesus will fly at this location

[RobBobtron]

My favourite part was when the guy playing as Hawk did the low punch. That was awesome.

[darkmann88]

lmao!

[AegisOverlordLuna]

you just hate fighting games because they require actual skill to play, go back to wii sports you scrub

*mashes the jab button*

*feels a smug sense of superiority*

[AegisOverlordLuna]

playing_to_win.flv

[remster183]

Wow that Thelo guy trolled the fuck out of the other

[Touhou1990]

Intense.



[lostenmusic]

I liked the part where T. Hawk jabbed.

[shadowchickenmango]

GO FOR BROKE!

[fukkock]

Is this for real? do people actually play this way? fags

[vgbe]

@fukkock

Please enlighten us, mighty youtube poster, as to how you (in your infinite wisdom) would play this match up?

[fukkock]

@vgbe

I would, you know...  play the game, and not as if I had cerebral palsy.

[vgbe]

@fukkock

The match would go as such:

You'd rush in blindly, ignorant as you are. Thelo would proceed to double perfect you (since you know nothing about the match up). Finally, you'd bitch and moan about how cheap he played or some such.

[trinifella1]

lmao! nice!!!!

[leoskulhamba]

The awesomeness.

[Kriegdrache]

FISTS WILL FLY IN THIS LOCATION

[LightRoll]

what the fuck, fucking turtle honda.

[KINGoTHEnerds]

This is like having a car race, and instead of acctually trying to outskill your opponent, you just rev your engine as loudly as possible untill the ref gets bored and disqualifyies the guy with the smaller engine. Both players are pathetically unskilled and lazy.

[JigglyNorris]

@KINGoTHEnerds Go back to SF4. You don't know shit about 2.

[KINGoTHEnerds]

@JigglyNorris Why so angry? 

[JigglyNorris]

@KINGoTHEnerds Not angry at all, but its annoying when some scrub who knows nothing about SF2 or the SF2 community bashes players like Thelo and Slayer.

[tylerfritos]

hahha fekken saved

[jddaman1337]

Man,nice tourney skill.

[terentaitom]

i dont believe this crap.

[CraigBarduk]

Wow...this reminds me of an insanity test type of thing...I passed.

[muffinburger]

This is so intense! Their defenses are solid!

[TheAnatBanai]

High level japanese play

[SheltonShenanigans]

Greatest. Match. Ever

[Gamatsu]

lol so gay. Couldn't EH just jump at him?

[RiceLUMFAO]

@Gamatsu lol T hawk has a shoryuken

[Caj814]

PSYCHIC HEADBUTT!

[DARKDEATHKILLER]

That shit was hilarious. Thelo +1.

[DTJBsd]

Someone's cat was rocking that E. Honda.

[aznboikyle]

PURFEHCT.

[Thanatos418]

LMAO

[r3di0n]

At least there's one enthusiast in that crowd.

[JustKita]

I want a turbo button.

[tarantino252]

THAT HADOUKEN OF RYU WAS GREAT

[xdjvenomx]

E. Honda win perfect!

[ineebriate]

rofl. looks like a typical Evo match.

[asusEAX7900GTX]

awesome.

[aeroglifo]

I was on the edge of my seat.

[Caj814]

DJ T.Hawk scratchin those jabs!

[wwechampjd1]

that was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beesnipe0]

oh god, what just happened? That was hardcore!

[J4mes1991]

KFK got what he deserves for the insidious practise of waiting until time runs out so he can hit once and win.

[Nif3]

Godfuckingdamnit KFK, all that dickery so you could lose pathetically in the end.

[Malskazz]

Holy fuck that was intense.

[TehSamurai]

Oh my God, fail.

[SamuraiCaveman]

Wow, this is goddamn pathetic.

[OrdoMallius]

the most epic fight ever

[hummmh]

*thump* AHAHAHAHA

cheeky bastard

[Champoolol]

There's not much that THawk can do in this matchup besides jabbing because EHonda can beat any of his moves with his headbutt. The only way a THawk player can win is most likely by the honda player being stupid. and This may be the only time in history that rock (Honda's head) beats paper (Hawk's open hand).

[posterboy0007]

[posterboy0007]

[Jonassoe]

Which part of "FIGHT!" did these guys not understand? :3

[MercyVideo]

@Jonassoe probably the "!" part

[harblardo]

thawk's meter building plot didn't work out =(

[ma5no5]

this video is great

[BassChamber]

LOL!!!!

[coderkind]

Ha-ha! Extremely well played :)

[omegasinnocence]

T.Hawk rocking the turntable!

[Purvis42]

thelo proving why he deserved to be in the top 8 at evo!

[KroKaDiLe]

LOL!! This has to be the funniest SF video I ever seen

[Streetfighter2Champ]

lol after all that

[CWheezy22]

You are a bad person, and you should feel bad about this post.

[InsectRoyalty]

Dude you just put a massive smile on my face.

Anyway, this match is hilarious. Pro play at it's finest.

[AzuroMasurao]

Blah, disregard my post...lol only now did I realize you already knew. I need to read replies moar. T_T

[vertoxz123]

Whoever said this was pro?

[AzuroMasurao]

Do you even understand why this match is played like that?

[InsectRoyalty]

No.Feel free to explain it to me, if you have the time.

The result is still ridiculous IMO. Good for a laugh tho.

[AzuroMasurao]

Honda pretty much beats Hawk holding down/back. Can't dive for some chip, you'll just eat headbutt. No footsies...HHS outprioritizes every normal in your arsenal. Manage to get in? Eh, no typhoon for you...he can just Oicho reversal, doing massive stun to you. Your only real tool to getting around this is c.HP to stuff headbutts/HHS, j.LP for a jump in that beats headbutt, and hoping Honda does something stupid.

[syxx573]

poor slayer!!!

[KoopaKoot]

It's like ST Mode now, one on one. MINDGAMES.

[AquilaCampbell]

I LOL'D.

[alteredtranquil]

This is going to be a match to remember!

[AquilaCampbell]

FIGHT!

[rashreflection]

clearly if t.hawk tried harder and pulled himself up by his bootstraps he could win this match

[shortpitched713]

The sad thing is Slayer KFK was probably playing Hawk optimally in this matchup, as was Thelo, obviously. The Hawk should have just settled for the draw or hoped Thelo headbutted into crouching jab at the last second.

I wish this post was more than somewhat tongue in cheek, but I'm mostly being serious.

[99livez]

reward for offensive play of the week !

[hrpff]

This battle is about to explode.

[pbrubaker]

Awesome!

[JigglyNorris]

Fuck, I need to make room for this T.Hawk.

[s0b00n]

LOL

[DorthLous]

double ew tee eff?

Seriously, Thelo, couldn't you humiliate this loser further with a perfect kill? ;)

[syxx573]

so harsh, the thawk player went through some of the comp in one of our chicago tournaments about a month ago and placed 2nd so he's not a "loser" as you're suggesting

[Darkit2099]

T Hawk's one of the best characters in Street Fighter 2! He only has like two moves, but each one is very useful.

[AzuroMasurao]

He's actually bottom 5...

[AzuroMasurao]

I already know that...I'm just correcting you. Tiers don't truly matter until the top levels of play.

[AzuroMasurao]

That's what I said...or was that directed towards Darkit?

[LeftyHangsLower]

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread your post. I'll delete my comment.

[AzuroMasurao]

It's all good.

[AzuroMasurao]

No...tiers don't even really begin to show until you get to the higher levels of play...where the characters are used to their fullest potential and weaknesses are heavily exploited. At the lower levels of play, you don't see everything a character has.

[IamTheMaximum]

Tiers matter. Anyone who says otherwise is a true noob. Tier lists are based on tournament results. High level play dictates tiers, retard.

[SirBlueWizard]

Tiers don't matter under normal play, retard.

[meatflowers]

well it matters less tothem in that they understand what they let themselves in for and have no complaint about being raped by shit matchups, but the tiers themselves decide the outcome at the highest level far more- our matchups at least

[Lofobal]

My hand is tired just from watching this. D:

[CWheezy22]

Lofobal masturbates to thelo playing honda.

Also, that was funny as fuck, good shit.
