That Yun player isn't just "great", he's KO, arguably the #1 Yun player in the world. And he's fighting Daigo, arguably the #1 Ken player in the world. These two guys are among the best SF3 players in the world.
My mind is absolutely fucking blown right now. I haven't looked much into KO & his tournament history but watching a match this heated has got me so damn curious. A really aggresive Yun player is scary as hell especially with Genei-Jin activated! I swear, SF is THE best series of games to bring every type of person from all walks of life together!
No doubt man. I love 3rd strike, possibly the most balanced and well tuned 2d fighter ever created and the hand drawn animations are so smooth and fluid.
its like watching jordan and magic at the top of their times. they might not be the best ever, but man... they're damn good. they match up perfectly to each other. genius
Truth, it is spoken. Watching fps just isn't as engaging as when you're actually playing, but with fighting games you get to see the two side's every move, watch the tensions rise and feel just about as much suspense in it as they do.
It's not just the difficulty of parrying every hit. It's also the insane amount of pressure, with all those people watching, knowing that ONE hit and you will be dead.
Now this is what a good Yun player is all about. It's fights like these that make me respect the SFIII characters, much like how I respect the SFII characters.
I love the parry system, it is exactly what DoA's reversals should have been. Some DoA characters do catch and push away attacks, rather than drain 1/4 of their life bar, but it's rare. I also loke SF3's speed, I hated "new faster gameplay" from turbo, as it is, SF3 is great.
I just played DOA and omg, them hard as heck. I don't even set the level to difficulty tho. The characters are very versatile man. I love playing as Ryu
@Spoc1012 Seth Killian was quoted as saying "A lot of people want SF3 to be given the HD treatment, granted it has so many frames of movement it might take a while."
@Tokeupbro Actually, in major tournaments such as EVO, Daigo always stuck with Ken for 3rd Strike. He never competed with Yun. When AE released in arcades in Japan, that's when he started playing Yun aggressively.
Do that, it's really awesome, very smooth animations, great gameplay, even though i miss some of the original characters the new ones are great (Yun and Yang ftw)
@ Pine1010 - SFIII 3rd Strike takes lots of skill parrying and using the wide variety of new available moves (ex: Ryu's side kick and Ken's overhead kicks).
Apparently this is the best SF in all the series? Never played any but SFIV/SSFIV, so I don't know much about parrying and whatnot, but just watching this, even I could tell that was all skill.
wow this was some intense shit. it kinda motivates me to play this classic ass game more often. i love how people are chanting during the game. it just goes to show how serious street fighter can be. in my opinion, i think street fighter tournaments and fighting games in general, are more enjoyable to watch than any fps tournaments.
@tiend15 yeah, I remember whn I was in mexico, i just to went to play this game in a machine and everyone would watch its jjust great and you enjoy to watch and play
@TheFinalGoose 3rd Strike is, as name suggests, third installment of SF3 series. 1st and 2nd were rather incomplete games in comparison to 3s. It also lacked many of the staple characters like Sagat, Dalhsim, Blanka, Honda, etc. It went under the radar for many people, even though 3s has become such a competitive gaming giant in the 2D fighting game community.
over there in crazy old japan, for a while whenever someone would use yun's SA3 in a heated battle, they shout AYE AYE AAAYYYEEE for the amount of juggle hits yun can keep his opponent in the air for. The longer the combo the louder they get.
@ReaIized yeah they did men, in Super Street Fighter ARCADE EDTION, there is a lot of gameplay of this characters on youtube... sorry for the late reply men
If anyone doesn't believe me, go into training and try it. Record the super from the initial position, then playback and try to parry it. Remember, press forward AFTER the super starts - not during. When I was learning how to do it, I always pressed it too early.
First off, the theory is that any character in 3rd strike is fair game; the parry system allows players to predict certain common routines players might make with different characters. In the end, It depends on how well opponents read each other, or how well they mix it up effectively. Where most games do have drastic character match-up adv./disadvantages, 3rd strike does not. I DO HATE YUNS, THOUGH. Chun-Li is pretty damn annoying, too.
Actually,the guy playing with him is so good he makes it look easy.But those crazy Genei-Jin combos he did are wicked hard.The most hits I can land is 10.
the dev of sf4 said he wanted to return to sf2 roots...sf3 and fast/dashing/flying games are a different style and are good but this format i think contains something special as well where u only can jump forwards/backwards/up and down and move slowly, it relies more on strategy and concreteness i think it's harder to create a strategy game than it is to just create a reflex game
@cuervogold247 thats all about thats similar between those two. i played yun alot in 3s but i didnt like rufus at all. (yes that dive kick had my hopes up when i first saw rufus so i totally feel where youre coming from with it being similar)
@troyism in this match it looked like ko just played better, although i never tried so i dont know if it was luck or skill etc. but i hope they release this game as a dlc
Martin L. King once said "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their Ken but by the hit-confirmation of their character"
@Spoc1012 thats wat im saying. either this, snk vs capcom 2 or both in one nice, neat package. i would so max out on those games if they came out in the marketplace

Two of Japan's best Third Strike players in top form.
This is the best fighting game of all time, and definitely needs to be ported to XBL and PSN.
its like watching jordan and magic at the top of their times. they might not be the best ever, but man... they're damn good. they match up perfectly to each other. genius
@ 2:20 is the cross-over from hell !
These matches are the best, thanks for posting.
Man i just love how video games bring people together like that nice fight!
The crowds reaction to combos and counters is the best part of this video lol.
Awsome! Just goes to show how effective the SFIII fighters really are!
Truth, it is spoken.
Watching fps just isn't as engaging as when you're actually playing, but with fighting games you get to see the two side's every move, watch the tensions rise and feel just about as much suspense in it as they do.
you have no idea how awesome and intense a high level SSF3 3rd Strike match between world class players can get
It's not just the difficulty of parrying every hit. It's also the insane amount of pressure, with all those people watching, knowing that ONE hit and you will be dead.
I love watching Japanese matches because of the enthusiasm they show. Doesn't hurt that this match is one of the more exciting ones i've seen :D
why cant i find this KO player on youtube, i wanna see more vids of him playing 3rd striek what about sf4?
check the cooperation cup tournaments
Cool, man. This game is all new to me, I've only been playing it for ten months on ps2 and I'm learning how to play with Ken.
The chanting is a feature in Yun and Yang games. Really gets you in the 3rd strike mood!
im loving the speaker system there, i can almost feel those hits
Now this is what a good Yun player is all about. It's fights like these that make me respect the SFIII characters, much like how I respect the SFII characters.
This is like the greatest fight I've ever seen.
I love the parry system, it is exactly what DoA's reversals should have been. Some DoA characters do catch and push away attacks, rather than drain 1/4 of their life bar, but it's rare. I also loke SF3's speed, I hated "new faster gameplay" from turbo, as it is, SF3 is great.

WOW... that was amazing. @___@ Truly the best of the best right there...
That Yun is obscenely beast like. I've never seen a yun player play that good, and that Ken was very skilled too. Very good match
If you paid close attention, he did. The first hit of his SA traded with Yang's low FK.
i love the parry system it turns every hit into a liability
What a great fight. Yun is really good.
I am also wondering what happened to Ken's SA at the end, I didn't see him get hit out of it
@Badguy260 which is also "coincidentally" when projectiles weren't such a huge part of the game outside of combo linking
Those were some truely amazing matches.
that was the best street fighter match i've ever seen
wow that was impressive for both players. great vid.
Deshiken is just amazing. I wish my Ken was like his. Yellow Ken FTW!
That`s some damn good Street Fighter right there.
To Katlunazul.
It wasn't 2006, but 2004.
And it wasn't just any Chun-Li player.
It was Justin Wong.
Do that, it's really awesome, very smooth animations, great gameplay, even though i miss some of the original characters the new ones are great (Yun and Yang ftw)
never played this game, i missed out big time. real good matches
daigo's real name is Diego Umeharez, he's a mexican guy from LA and KO is his cousin.
@ Pine1010 - SFIII 3rd Strike takes lots of skill parrying and using the wide variety of new available moves (ex: Ryu's side kick and Ken's overhead kicks).
Such high level play is such a joy to watch.
@GamesPlayer1 Whatev. Still is pretty cool to have your own squad. I need to get me one.
Special cancel lol. I was confused at first too. Look close, Daigo's first hit of his SA trades with Yun's kick and Daigo goes into a SRK right after.
No wait, if you pay attention, that last super that Ken (Daigo) did was actually STOPPED by Yun's kick. Daigo didn't cancel his super.
Yun's Genei-Jin make it so people fall like they'd been fully stunned after he's hit them, thus allowing crazy combos.
He can cancel his moves much faster, thus allowing him to juggle. Some moves also get more hits added (his lunge punch for example).
The parry system just made this game too cheap at high level play, but it'll definitely always be amazing to witness these expert matches.
@ReaIized they are, they're just in the arcade version.
@Badguy260 well in 3rd strike, you cant spam a hadouken coz the hadouken is slow here and also can be parried!
AWESOME FIGHT...their skills are close to one another
Wow amazing matches.
I wish Street Fighter reverts back to this style and game-play.
But it may not be a safe business investment according to Capcom.
ah one of the best street fighters. wish they would remake it and put it on psn and xbox live
@honeypower I sure does :) I love animations and fighting system of 3rd Strike.
Apparently this is the best SF in all the series? Never played any but SFIV/SSFIV, so I don't know much about parrying and whatnot, but just watching this, even I could tell that was all skill.

It's an EX Hurricane Kick, in mid-air.
Just jump forwards, QCB + KK
@tiend15 yeah, I remember whn I was in mexico, i just to went to play this game in a machine and everyone would watch its jjust great and you enjoy to watch and play
Man I've hated Diago so much after he beat Justin, he was totally outplayed, so now I love to see videos of him losing. :)

Damn, Daigo always put up a good show.
He did imitate, that was a good prediction on that round.
over there in crazy old japan, for a while whenever someone would use yun's SA3 in a heated battle, they shout AYE AYE AAAYYYEEE for the amount of juggle hits yun can keep his opponent in the air for. The longer the combo the louder they get.
KO has to be one of the best Yuns ever, and to beat Daigo is crazy. I love the audience too.
ay! ay! ay! ay! ay! ay! aww...
Great matches!
holy shit that yun is amazing. It's almost like he's dancing!!
@honeypower LOL! you dont like the sf4 crater faces and stocky bodies??
0:16-0:22 that was a beutiful Lock
ha awesome match bro. daigo's perfect was nice!
I think you're talking about the Street Fighter Alpha series.
@ReaIized yeah they did men, in Super Street Fighter ARCADE EDTION, there is a lot of gameplay of this characters on youtube... sorry for the late reply men
@Badguy260 umm.... that's because in this game you move faster so you can get around fire balls.
Street Fighter 4 is the Brawl of the Street Fighter series.
good match
if i ever feel like watching some top tier street fighter i watch third strike.
nice
That was nice. Now I understand why Yun is top tier.
hahaha yeah, they really made the combat fun to watch. 4:09 IDK if that was an accident or on purpose, but either way nice doulbe-parry.
well theyre plannin on bringing back dee jay and t hawk in the summer along with the championship mode update
If anyone doesn't believe me, go into training and try it. Record the super from the initial position, then playback and try to parry it. Remember, press forward AFTER the super starts - not during. When I was learning how to do it, I always pressed it too early.
@KiD1515
Because if there wasn't, you could just run away until the time ran out as soon as you got a small lead.
You just gotta love the chat everytime daigo uses the special
" uo uo uo EH EH EH AH AH awwwwwwwwwwww.... "
KO used his special. Daigo used Ken, and lost to KO at EVO 2003 3rd Strike and EVO 2004 3rd strike.

I DO HATE YUNS, THOUGH. Chun-Li is pretty damn annoying, too.
Well, supposedly they're giving Makoto her Tanden Renki. That's just a damage buff, though, plus she can't block during it.
danm to throw out a SRK in that frame is crazy do u think he knew that his super was gonna get hit out?
Actually,the guy playing with him is so good he makes it look easy.But those crazy Genei-Jin combos he did are wicked hard.The most hits I can land is 10.
the dev of sf4 said he wanted to return to sf2 roots...sf3 and fast/dashing/flying games are a different style and are good but this format i think contains something special as well where u only can jump forwards/backwards/up and down and move slowly, it relies more on strategy and concreteness i think it's harder to create a strategy game than it is to just create a reflex game
although 2k4 is remembered for the ultra parry by daigo, remember that ko got first place!
ya they did say that. atleast for any iterations of 4
This game looks frggn sick !
@cuervogold247 thats all about thats similar between those two. i played yun alot in 3s but i didnt like rufus at all. (yes that dive kick had my hopes up when i first saw rufus so i totally feel where youre coming from with it being similar)
actually, capcom has talked about put SFIII chars into SFIV upgrade. But isn't Yun, they are Ibuki and Dudley, what is great, anyway :)
@troyism in this match it looked like ko just played better, although i never tried so i dont know if it was luck or skill etc. but i hope they release this game as a dlc
No, it's K.O, and Daigo as Ken.
(Didn't you read the title of this video?)
@KuroiKarasu89 He is at the very bottom on the left, he is hidden so just look under alex
Martin L. King once said "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their Ken but by the hit-confirmation of their character"
@Spoc1012 thats wat im saying. either this, snk vs capcom 2 or both in one nice, neat package. i would so max out on those games if they came out in the marketplace
SA3 Yun + Japanese Audience = very fun crowd responses xD
American audience this happened at EVO 2004, and KO is the same guy that beat Daigo at 3rd strike at EVo 2003.
@Shigurekorada no it's also coming for PS3
can't wait for sf3 online edition!
So it's best 2 out of 3 out of 2 out of 3? Love the chanting, by the way.
Ahh, a game where Ken isn't a pimp with a fur lined kimono, and a gold chain.
Nostalghia why are you so sweet.
@honeypower i agree this handrawn look is way better than the 2.5d look.
