Some context for these guys, because people may not know these guys (they are pretty famous in the FGC though): Kazunoko is an incredibly smart player who understands games fast and what gets you wins, he utterly dominated DBFZ season 1, won a Capcom Cup and is a consistent high performer in any fighting game he touches. This is Punk talking about Kazunoko and how diverse his skillset is and how he finds the cheap stuff/understands what wins. ruclips.net/video/QYTDW3WkGbM/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=23 Kazunoko is incredibly strong and peaked at 2400+ MR and reached the highest MR score at the end of the last ranked split (as one can see in the video). Dogura is also one of the multi game champions and especially dominant in Guilty Gear Xrd and if you look at his record, he is in the same ballpark as Kazunoko for GG Xrd and one of the strongest in Blazblue Centralfiction. Dogura is a very consistent SF6 high level player in Japan and just a smidgen under the level of worldclass level people that are guys like Tokido and Leshar for tournament results. Shuto is a very interesting case. He is a player who can absolutely high perform, but is in a sea of strong players in Japan. Having won the Singapore super premier showcases how strong he is. Especially his Akuma is among the best in the world at the moment as he made the switch relatively soon after season 1 dropped (dropping Marisa in the process). Personal opinion: Either you can say that he peaks extremely high or that he is a little inconsistent, but Shuto seemingly just wakes up some days and wins big. Marisa is kinda a gambly character in some ways, who can highroll. It feels like he looks at Akuma's 9k HP not as a challenge, but just some more reason to even more highroll and plays the game as it was on double speed. And more often than not, he will be right. He was good in SFV and already a dominant player, but in SF6 with that super premier win he has cemented as one of the top guys who are on the level that they can actually win any tournament.
Dogura's peak BB game was CP, not CF (even amongst the Azrael players he'd usually get edged out by Zexos or Tochigin starting from the earlier days of CF1 as well). Kazunoko is probably considered overall heads and shoulders above both shuto and dogura just because he IS still 'the demon lord' AKA 'the man loved by all fighting games' (he is one of the only ppl since the sf4 ish era to have won a world-championship level tourney for an fg during the year that the game was on EVO mainstage across MULTIPLE games - this is a feat that only 4-6 ppl in history have done since that era) but he doesn't travel as much and missed the sfv era so he does rely on the recent SF experience that dogura and Shuto bring to the table. He obviously makes up for it in spades by being one of the best mind-readers/rps players in the building though. Shuto has always had the play style of "if it's humanly possible, I should do it" (such as consistently confirming the 5lk during the super premier run) which probably forms a part of his inconsistency.
@@ymir233 Excellent comment, thank you very much. I am not around long enough for the complete lore, so it is always great to see even more information to learn from.
@@RockBottom7626 No prob! It's great not just to learn about the lore because it's interesting but also because eventually tech videos and content from these very players start popping up on your feed down the line if you dig into them and that's always nice as well.
Is there a game where kazonoko doesn’t silently take 1st place online. Man, this guy can play fighting game not only at a high lvl, but at the highest lvl.
I remember Sajam saying "Kazunoko plays like he hates you, he hates the game, and he wants you to know." and doing that Cammy uppercut twice in a row was a great example.
I think it's because dualsense has an inbuilt microphone and you are talking through here. My friend also says in discord he hears my button pressings (before I changed my output).
One thing I find interesting is that a good amount of the top japanese players use their super meter a lot. Their playstyle is very focused around drive gauge damage.
"Can you play with me and Kazunoko?"
"HELL no"
😂
Everything about this video gives late 2000s vibes
xXX_Broski_Broncholovski_XXx has uploaded a new video! "Going against top level bison - Street Fighter #17"
Be refreshing yogaflame24 💀💀
That 09er aesthetic
Fun fact Aki coats herself with baby oil to help her slide more efficiently on the ground.
No party like a Diddy party
Diddy just make that up, or is this a fact?
Bro I know the fang freak offs were crazy 😂
No party like a FANG party

Thanks bro! I knew the names but not the lore. Appreciate it :D

I like how we have a joke about "it's easy to defeat dogura, just drive Impact him" (he can't Impact back)

Shuto showed up for one set and fucking lit him up LOL
if Kazunoko, Shuto, and Dogura pulled up on me I would simply perish

I didn’t realize Crazy Raccoon was more than just a OW team
my favorite part about this video is that it sounds like Broski is giving me a head massage and my head is made out of very thin plastic

Holy shit Shuto plays so sharply it's actually scary, dude is like an ascended Mexican Akuma.
I had the same experience with tourists in Europe recently. I had a great time on my trip and the worst part were the tourists.
I love when Aki does Drive Rush because she's all like, "bitchin'!"
Jesus Christ shuto was on crack in those 2 games
We got that low tier god controller clicking noise 😂
7:34 Every time Cammy uses her super like this I think about how Luke's got nerfed 😥
To this day, I still get myself killed by instinctually throwing out Luke's level 1 super as an anti-fireball
I remember Sajam saying "Kazunoko plays like he hates you, he hates the game, and he wants you to know." and doing that Cammy uppercut twice in a row was a great example.
The Shuto fight was insane, specially for Shuto chip kill sequence.
obviously shuto on a higher level
i too am challenged
Imagine the smash cut we could make with the Raccoons' fotage translated and switch between Broski snd them 😂.
For Broski, the day that Crazy Raccoon graced his lobby was the most important day of his life. But for them it was Tuesday.
what a cruel fate indeed
"He's in Japan, developing some leads... "

Akuma is so broken. Two hits and you’re dead.
Shuto was on something
