Boss (ボス) 3rd Strike Compilation

A compilation of "highlight reel" matches by the famous Japanese 3rd strike player, Boss (ボス). He is particularly famous for the wide range of characters he has mastered; most elite players are known for their mastery of one particular character, but Boss has reached the red carpet (top 4) at SBO with five times with 3 different characters (Yang, Makoto, Yun), and has successfully played many others (such as Ken and Akuma) in competitive settings over the years. He has consistently been among the game's elite players for more than a decade, and shows no signs of slowing down.

This video is intended to be a 15 minute highlight reel, with emphasis on:

1. Full matches. Not just isolated clips or rounds.
2. A wide range of elite opponents. Not just an extended set of games against the same person, or walkovers over less talented players.
3. Tournament/competitive play, especially Tougeki/SBO. No GGPO/casuals here.

WTF happened at 8:24 He parried the first hit of the EX fireball, uppercut into super. Jesus.

[arindam43]

@dantaeos Yup, pretty much. Akuma, Ken, and Ryu uppercuts all have enough invincibility frames to go through the second hit of an EX fireball, which makes that sequence possible.

OJA was raped in the 2nd round!!

brutal!

14:39 I swear I could hear Nuki screaming in the background.
