Love Third Strike's character artwork. My favorite.

he doesnt "just play" he practices for hours against different playstyles and chars all the time, inviting people over from foreign countries to practice against, like a professional boxer or soccer team. he is pro, on top of his skill he still had to strive for it, deserving of his title.

For Daigo this is Tuesday.

i love how Ken looks in SF3, kinda manga style

6:20 sounds like loose chickens running around a farm

That double parry at 2:48 was plain sick o.O

Daigo is a very good player. When he gets annoyed, he's unstoppable. His comboing and parrying skills are hilarious to watch. I bet the developers must be really impressed by his skills. He's also very unpredictable, he will use an attack stream as long as the opponent does not know how to handle/counter it. After that he just something completely different.

Out of all the Street Fighter Games, 3rd Strike is still the one that Baffles the Hell out of me when I watch hi-level matches. The Parrying is 100% Psychic. Its amazing how well people have mastered this game.

3rd Strike...What a wonderful piece of gaming. Such a deep fighting game which requires the up most dedication to perfect. This is my favorite SF game of all time.

4:43 "SHORYU-JINRAI" 🔥💪😬

Yeah I beat Daigo once, then I woke up...

I don't play Street Fighter regularily at all (although I really like fighting games). But it's always so fascinating to see people at the best of their abillities, regarding what they are good at. Thanks for the show! :)

The reaction time is memory reflex or muscle reflex. He knew what to input unlike normal people like us. Takes countless of practice to do what he did there.

3rd strike had wonderful parrying techniques. If only SF IV had that...

cool, always nice to see beasting, especially by daigo

I love how Yang just stands there as Yun gets his ass handed to him. It's like he's saying "Yeah bro, you owe me that $5 now."

yeah.i`m looking forward to it

glad to hear you discovered sf3!, the parry system is what makes it the richest by far. Its what chess is to checkers.

Returning the favorz :D

omg daigo's reaction time is nothing like ive ever seen

best artwork ever

and now this is a year old

family and life.

People seem to dislike Daigo because he has so many fans. Sadly alot of them are seriously irrational. So if Daigo actually lose a match they would say something like "that is not daigo" because he wasn't playing right or etc. People forget the fact that he is human and he makes errors like everyone else. And regardless of that he is still becoming better.

Brilliant critique, bro.

i love this game because is the only SF where you have to use the hadoken wisely

I love how animated the announcer gets... might as be listening to a Japanese cattle auction.

Daigo is such a beast

Daigo is a former Streetfighter alpha Champ and an absolutly Streetfighter legend. He dominated the SF scene for many years but he`s quit already. But who know`s? maybe he makes a comeback anytime.

That tech juggling was beastly.

3:49 AHHH THIRD STRIKE!

@maytinkerblast Because it's HARD to get to the level they're at. Take 5:59 as an example. Daigo parried an attack (which requires tenth-of-a-second timing, everyone has that), did a normal(one button press, basic), cancled into a Shoryuken (a zigzag on the joystick, BUT he had to do it in 1/30 OF A SECOND OR LESS), and then CANCLED THAT INTO A SHIPPU JINRAI KYAKU (he had to roll his joystick a quarter of a circle to the right TWICE IN LESS THAN 1/30 OF A SECOND!)! All that in 1 second! Insane!

Thump up if you mute the sound and watch this awesome video

I've only played SF2 and SF4... this parry system is crazy! And what's crazier is the pro's who can time it perfectly.

oh. thanks

damn that air parry finish with alex was just crazy

Daigo is kept in a secret military base and is cryogenically frozen until it is time to defend Japan's honor then he is released like Austin Powers.

yep, that's exactly the event that I was referring to. But I also noticed that he does this on many other tournaments as well (just because he can, and he's a "beast.")

so tru he is a really good showman

@Levion i agree with you its like the difference between knowing and mastering

And DAMN he got rocked haha Daigo is a beast

3rd Strike - still the best Street Fighter (and bets fighting game) 16 years and counting

4:36 OOOOHHH!!! SHO RYU JIN RAI LMAO very nice.

@RyukendenY there is even a video RX beating Daigo but daigo is really awesome. even i had watched this video 1 year ago i can still watch it and be amazed at daigos awesome reflexes its me shouryuken btw

For a start, he played just like him. I was skeptical at first also, but i talked to him and he explained to me why he was here in Australia, SBO in Sydney. Seemed legitimate enough, he was also impressed when i told him i use keyboard. :P

THAT WAS A YEAR AGO!!!!

no because the screen pans out the farther you move away from the opponent

daigo is invincible >_>..... well maybe not but his reflexes are definitely out of this world Great alex btw!

2:47 is just amazing

The console version was broken in a way seeing as how when you have done just about everything, you can customize your own grove with no limits so you can have parries, just defense, evade rolls, etc. You name it.

daigo's a monster i wish i could play him

so true. i was disappointed when i learned that they removed the parry in the makings of SF4 crazy competition rises when players parry

that is a mad Ken!

なんて強い先鋒だｗｗｗ

THIS WAS A YEAR AGO!!!!!! WHY???!!!

@Prowl76 That qoute is sick!

"That is the truth. Latif is the king at sf4 though." Fixed that for you.

Sorta. His reaction is amazing, but alot of the parries are also him reading his opponents and option selecting parrys.

Believe what you want, but it was really him. Noone can either prove nor disprove that, unless Daigo wants to speak up himself.

man that yun kept running in to mp hp jinrui...everytime his super ended

yes

Well the reason why they got rid of parries on IV, is because it is set between II and III. They wanted to give IV that in between feel. Being somewhat technical and yet simplistic at the same time. That and the fact that many believed III was extremely technical but I do agree with you. It does bring out the best competition. But overall, that was the reason.

@overlordss If you mean Genei-Jin, it allows you to chain quicker, basically quicker recovery on moves.

Sometimes he just likes to toy around with people, have him get down to about - much life left, and then totally do a super-ultimate-impossible comeback...

there should be a prize for lasting more than 30 seconds with Daigo he looks unbeatable most the time

idk who decided ken's special would get 3 short special bars. nice job daigo

matsuken, deshiken, spellmaster J, chinta, Haitani, and match. just to name a few.

they've been doing that alot lately in newer fighting games, brawl as well, so far tekken 6 seems to be the only one that didnt really lose any space.

SAIII has three stocks for EX, fills up fast and can chain/link off almost anything.

Is there anyway I can play this game now? I first started SF with 4 but these old ones look sick. What systems were they on?

This game is on the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for PS2 and Xbox. Both are backwards compatible with the PS3 and 360 though :) This game is amazing

This is Street Fighter 3rd strike. And yes u can play on the PS2 but u have to find the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection which contains 3rd Strike.

Daigo Fisting

Daigo may not be the best, but at least watching him is entertaining. You gotta give him that

Best way to fix this video : To shut that commentator the hell up and turn the game volume way up. The music in this game is CRAZY good.

looked like they both tried to grab each other at the same time

The only dying any board does if maybe a small resistor or another part becoming worn and falling out of place. These kind of issues can be fixed easily.

@blokeroy its like this- parry(by pressing "forward") then press "down," and then diagonal DF+punch(shoryuken), then do 1/4 circle+kick. this will give you the entire combo. Some people don't realize it's NOT like this- forward, zigzag+punch, 1/4 circle, 1/4 circle+punch. It's more like THIS- "forward(parry)then 1/4 circle+punch(shoryuken)then 1/4 circle+kick(super art) Daigo is really good but I know some people don't know exactly how it works

@ShinOnigashima Meh, I thought they were talking about the one around 1:30. :/ But no, it's still possible to cancel an LP SRK into super because there are frames where the enemy is still on the ground. It's not like cancelling Ryu's SRK into his Shinku Hadoken, because that super does not have a 1 frame start up. Ken's Super III does.

The battery on the Cps3 security cartridge is suppost to die after a while, Rendering the board uplayable. Unless you get a new battery and someone to install it, you can't play it. Are these batteries easily accesible? Do many people install them?

double shoryu nice

Dudley is a powerhouse

That Alex was so brave lol

he said daigo umehara.

damn... how did he whip that sht out so fast at the end...

Yea he's a beast wit Ken....i admire that 1 character thing...

Being able to play with a multitude of characters does not necessarily indicate skill. As Bruce Lee once said, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times"

shoryu jinrai!

That guy in the background screaming sounds like the tide talking stain.

Okay, sure, you keep thinking that.

@maytinkerblast This is so true, its not like Daigo can't be beaten. once I fought him and he was tough but I had to remember that if you can calculate what your opponent is gonna do next and you can intercept that, you can easily own them with mindgames.

Relax, it was a play with his name and his character >.>

same. i wanna lose, see what i can learn.

its good to see someone who is down w sf3/ and the parry system. -Even tho, sf4 is preeeeety nice.....

when sf4 hits he will return

It would be a honor to play with/against him... damn

oh man that one round Alex was all ovre Diago

Got the Japanese version on my dreamcast. Despite the fact i can't read ANYTHING its amazing!

of course sometimes he loses (everyone does) but its more or less his play style that attracts ppl. these days, hes been playing A LOT less so yea hes off. but going back to like 1998 and shit, he was a beast.

its more like a regular question.
