[HellBabyYeah]

TheShend mate u forgot to mention Kokujin as a player. :)

[TheShend]

@HellBabyYeah Cheers brah.

08:52 is such a tense round.

@arindam43 SBO is single elimination and that says nothing who is the better player, and he teamed also with Kuroda and Nitto. And it was also because of Nitto that he won SBO 2010 cause Nitto took out Kokujin and Nuki in the finals who both didnt lost a match until the finals against him.

@arindam43 I hear he has been playing alot of sf4 lately, possible it might be messing with him on 3S?

[arindam43]

@CrazymanwithaCB He won the last SBO that 3S was played in (beating Nuki's team in the finals no less), 1.5 years ago. The only other National Dan League video I can find with him was the 3rd, less than a year ago, and in that video he didn't lose a game and got promoted well before Nuki or anyone else.

This is the first footage I've seen of him from the last few years where he looks less than invincible. Given his track record, I think he just had a bad day.

@arindam43 that interview is from a few years ago, that may have been true then, but currently? no MOV is not the best, but he is def. top 5.

[arindam43]

@CrazymanwithaCB He probably has a hard time because MOV may be the best 3rd strike player in the world? There's a youtube interview where Rikimaru says as much. Go watch MOV reverse-OCV a team like Nuki/Kokujin/KO at SBO4, or carry his team to victory in the SBO7 finals with a broken hand if you need more evidence of how strong he is.

What really baffles me is how much he struggled against everyone other than Nuki in this set. Really uncharacteristic of him.

[CrazymanwithaCB]

@inuyashaspet it prolly did affect him, Nuki has a hard time against MOV, I dont understand why tho. MOV isnt better than him.

plus MOV plays chun real lame compared to Rikimaru and Nuki, their chuns are more exciting to watch.

[bobomber]

Kokujin vs the Chun/Yun army.

Tragically, our hero falls to c.mk > sa2 as expected :(

[inuyashaspet]

It's like Nuki forgot how to fucking play until the last two matches, like MOV fucking broke him down mentally or something.

But kudos to Nuki for not letting me down.

[Scidadle]

Kokujin with 3 bars is fucking scarrrry
