“DeeJay had a full stick of butter” 🧈 Unlucky for him, E. Honda loves butter on his pancakes. DeeJay got pancaked. Breakfast is served.

“Afrolegends playing DeeJay, and Honda playing Kusomondo.” Yeah man I main Kusomondo.

Letting you know that I'm not a super turbo player, but still enjoying your story telling. You do a really good job setting up the situation so that we can appreciate how skilled these players truly are

In 2021. Just discovered your channel and I think this series is so dope. You taking the time to explain match up charts and what each players game plan is going into the match is beyond amazing for somebody like me who doesn’t know everything about the FGC but follows channels such as the fellows of yo video games, Matt Mcmuscles, wolly, and such this series was great.

1:07 “Honda playing Kusomondo” Honda: See my Kuso tech *hundred hand slaps fightstick*

This series is seriously one of my favorite things on KZfaq at the moment.

I just love finding channels like this that covers stories and trivia about an extremely specific thing that deserves more love than what it gets. Especially when it's something videogame related. Love the content man.

I've only ever played ST casually. It was awesome how you broke down the key components/strategies to the match up before the gamplay started, seemingly without spoiling it. Made it a lot more impactful when those certain situations popped up in the match itself. Love your content man!

"full stick of butter" best name for full life bar.

I dont play any fighting games really, just love listening to the analysis. Your enthusiasm and your interest keeps me interested lol. Love this video and all the others of this series you're making.

10:00 the guy choking a chicken in the background never fails to get a laugh from me

I'm originally a Smash player and I love your videos. They're always insightful and I get to learn about the deeper mechanics of other fighters, which as a fellow gamer I can always appreciate.

The tournaments we had in the hood was so intense!! Never will forget the guys passing the controller around. Winner keeps playing

You did a really good job explaining the nuances for everyone to appreciate the artistry in the gameplay

What an inspiring match from Kusomondo! Love that fact that he’s loyal to his character and doesn’t take shortcuts!

I love how they are playing on CRT’s.

18:48 That "draw" system should be implemented in all fighting games.

Ah yes Honda playing Kusomondo My favorite character

Binging back through your Greatest FGC Moments series again. You really just hit all the right notes with these vids. You find actual amazing things to make vids for. You give the viewer context for the moment, so even if we don't know why we should be excited for the match, you got us covered. You actually breakdown and explain game mechanics for those of us who don't already know everything can understand just how good these players are at their game and what the heck is happening on screen. And to top it off you are so full of hype for what you're showing us that it's easy to get hyped up with you. Thank you so much for all the content. Keep being you and having fun!

I love your breakdowns and rewatching certain parts to explain what's happening. I'm not a big SSF player but enjoy watching and it really helps to understand just how much is going on in a matter of seconds! Thank you for the videos!

i'm almost 40 and have been playing sf since world warrior and I still have a lot of fun playing super turbo. love this game. Great fight coverage

You say around 13 minutes that you hope it's not annoying that you're replaying the last bit. I actually really enjoy it, because for 1 I'm probably going to replay it anyway to watch the cool bit again but moreover it lets you give your thought and talk a little bit more about what we are watching and what is going on. It's cool. Love these vids!

I don’t even play fighting games but this series is cool. I like the pre-fight breakdowns where you go over the main tactics. Good stuff!

I get 0% of your technical explanations, but your enthusiasm and energy makes it so amazing to watch!

Sorry guys, had to delete and re-upload the video due to technical problems. Hope you enjoy it!

This was a really awesome video! Being a gamer since i was as young as 2 years old and now being over the age of 30, that E.Honda fight definitely gave me hope with certain characters i have loved over the years in certain fighting games. Just a little story about myself. When i was around the age of 5 or 6? I remember going to a candy store with my dad and there was STREET FIGHTER II standing there in the corner with a teenager playing the game. I watched the person play a few matches while my dad was busy doing whatever it was at the time. The teenager asked me if i wanted to play a match against him, and being so young at the time i was really intimidated by him but accepted the challenge. I still remember it as clear as day. I chose Chun-Li against his Ryu. And guess what? This younger version of me, a small scared kid, beat him 2-0. And he just looked at me and smiled and said "wow, good job dude" and shook my hand. I will always remember this moment in my life. A bit after whenever SFII hit the SNES, i broke my arm, and my dad got me the game as a gift. I played the game even with the cast on. Several hours a day with my older brother. I don't really play fighting games much anymore, accept for Smash Bros. (if you can even classify it as a fighting game of course). But i still enjoy watching tournaments and videos like this one. If you had the chance to read this, thank you for spending the time to get through it all. I really enjoyed this video and felt the need to share this moment with you guys. -Draygen

Hey jmcrofts -- amazing video! I love your analysis, especially showing all of Honda's options before getting into the match. I remember seeing this live in 2012 but I didn't understand the gravity of the matchup til now. Thanks a ton!

I'm absolutely a baby when it comes to these old fighting games, so somebody taking the time to dig up matches is well appreciated.

I remember lending a friend in elementary school my Alladin snes cart for Super Street Fighter Special Championship Edition on genesis. He moved and I ended up keeping it, thanks friend.

"full stick of butter" LMAO. Hadn't heard that life bar euphemism before.

I don't play fighting games at all. I don't buy fighting games. I just love their competitions and watching experts go at it

I love this channel. I treat his content like a podcast, super chill to have his videos play in the background.

"Honda playing Kusamundo" made do a double take.

I played SF2 super casually with a friend once, it was fun as hell, but I’m not a serious player. This video was great regardless though. Your excitement and passion for fighting games is really contagious and a lot of fun to listen to. Plus you teach us stuff about these games that some of us haven’t played before and it’s GREAT.

These historical videos are amazing to me! I would love to see more. It's so cool to have these video analysis of games I may never have seen from someone who has been around longer

Ive watched this video at least 3 times. Love the way jmcrofts breaks down and presents these clips while simultaneously educating and hyping it up and showcasing the skill levels involved

15:49 “That butt slam gets punished all day.” Archer: “PHRASING!”

Watched this event live. Anyone interested in the highest level super turbo watch the whole top 8 a lot of character diversity and high level tech. Also James Chen and ultra David are at their commentary best due to this being their favorite game. Nothing quite like super turbo action, some real mind blowing stuff.

I haven't played fighting games in like at least 15 years and I enjoyed this video. Providing context of what the characters can do in this match up helped build intrigue, and your enthusiasm made it entertaining too. Great job, bro

Love fight games, grew up on street fighter, haven't touched it in 20 years. Watched this video all the way through. You narrate this and set it up perfectly. Your context is ALWAYS appreciated!!!!

And to address your last point, I have never played or watched this game before. I really enjoyed the video a lot, because it's just cool to see a game that I have little interest in in a nice, bite sized, easy to digest package like this. I don't think I'm going to go out of my way to seek out more gameplay, but I definitely appreciated what I did see here today. Good video

Been really enjoying these "Key Moments in FGC History" videos. Your commentary, knowledge of the scene and providing insightful context is really something. Content like this is really underserved right now. Hope you continue it.

Not a SF regular, but grew up around arcades - found your video interesting. Anything with a good explanation, narration whilst keeping things interesting is always a fine balance. Good job sir!

I don't really play fighting games but I've been watching videos on them and have been meaning to start playing street fighter 5. Love your videos and this was another great one. I liked how you took the time to explain the match ups and break down what was going on in the fight; it really made it easy to understand why it was such a great match. On the off chance you read this I just want you to know you've made this genre that I was originally daunted by to feel a lot more accessible and your videos never fail to put a smile on my face.

I feel like this series lets jmcrofts practice commentating

Never realized how unfitting DeeJay art is in this game. His torso and arms are almost photorealistic.

Dude, rewatching these. 100% my favorite fighting game series. Look forward to more if ya got em

I love this video! I watched 3 or 4 times already and still fresh to me. I'm far from be a fighting game specialist but I do enjoy this kind of videos. Keep up with that great work!

i'm an old school SFII arcader and love seeing the content and the enthusiastic commentary. keep it up!

Loving a character and sticking to them no matter what can create some magical moments.

Played some super turbo back in the day, but it was never one of my main fighting games. Thanks for highlighting and breaking down this match. Been watching more of your videos lately and they're all great.

JM, these videos are incredibly entertaining. I played very few of these games but it doesn't detract from these videos. You're an incredible storyteller. Keep those going please! Huge fan.

I’ve never played super turbo, but I love this series and how much knowledge and context you give about the games mechanics and the life lessons to be learned from the set. Keep going!

Thanks for the video! One of my favorite runs in ST/FGC history. Kusumondo was playing out of his mind that day.

Never really played, but that was a bloody epic showing, gets my blood pumping! Thank you for this! subbed!!!!

Great video, commentary and analysis. Infectious laughter. I lived through every cheer and joke with you. I’m played sf2 champs edt from school days but didn’t know the depth you went into with the stat charts and charged input throw that was being used.. very enlightening!

storylines are always fun and you have the experience to break it down to someone unfamiliar with the game, backing up and rewatching the hype moments and explaining it is a skillset! I think its a great way to introduce people into new games or just share the hype. thanks for doing these

I found this series recently and you have TOTALLY revived my love of fighting games. I just reinstalled SF4 the other night and it's been so fun just getting games in. Keep it up :D :D

Awesome, thanks for highlighting this match up!

I have never played Turbo, but I really enjoyed this video. What a match between Honda and Deejay. Thank you for posting it!

There's no counter picking in real life 🧠🧠🤯

I reeealy like this kind of videos, it makes me realise that fighting games as an e-sport are equal to any other sport. Waiting for another analysis c: Greetings frome Chile.

I have never watched super turbo at all but I found your videos going through interesting super turbo matches and have enjoyed all I have seen so far. I think I you are a very interesting guy and I like your videos. I will be digging deeper to find more fun stuff you have made! 😁

You explained everything well enough that even though I have never played a street fighter game I understood what was happening and I could feel the same level of excitement that you did when watching this fight

I haven’t played much street fighter beside the once in a while casual match up in SF4 but I find these videos on older games fun and interesting. I find it that most fighting games in general are fun to watch and your videos are a great in-depth look in to them.

Smash player here! Love these videos, and even if I always hear people dogging on my game, I love to watch good players play well anywhere! Keep it up!

I like how you explain EVERYTHING, it’s so nice of you.

I really enjoy your commentary! I used to play SFII in and SSFII T in the arcades long ago as a kid. Your videos remind me of a better time in my life, when all I had to worry about was grabbing pizza and having enough quarters to play after school. Thanks so much! I'm considering picking up this game to get back into it thanks to you!

This was awesome, I appreciate the breakdown. The rounds are so fast the breakdowns are they only way to appreciate the play by play, thanks!

Man! I'm very happy I watched this! I mained Fang because I like playing him and sticked with him no matter what happened. Seeing a professional saying the same thing is very refreshing! I still lose a lot haha

I've only really ever played super turbo very casually and i liked the video a lot! The part where you analyzed the match up and explained what advantages and disadvantages each character had made me really understand what was going on in the tournament.

I have never played this in a competitive manner but I still enjoyed the story you told. The E. Honda player's quote at the end is profound and a good mentality to have in life. Thank you for sharing his valuable insight.

Really nice video, i’m loving this new historical fighting moments. Keep it going!!

A little late but I did enjoy this. Passion definitely makes things more interesting and I appreciate seeing someone with a similar mindset to me being rewarded (work through and make it work with your main)

i really like how you explain things, ive never personally played ssf2t and im able to understand whats going on bc of the great commentary youre making

Giving you a thumbs up. I was never great at street fighter and did not get big in to gaming but it definitely is part of my childhood and I love to see these videos. Very entertaining, understand the whole reason for E-Sports.

I enjoy watching fighting game content, even though I am certainly an observer over a player. Your enthusiasm and knowledge are delivered well. I enjoy your content, and your pauses are helpful if anything, much like a sports replay, always for better clarity and understanding. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

this is great stuff. Hope to see more of these analysis videos! Also, wasn't super well acquainted with any of the games you covered, but rather was a great and enjoyable learning experience nonetheless.

I just started watching your videos. Played the game when i was a kid an am not familiar with all the X vs. Y strengths but it was easy to see how hard it is for E.Honda to win vs. a good Deejay. Thank you for the addictional information for newbs like me :).

Saw this live on stream way back when, highlight of that years tournament for me for sure, nice seeing this video, brings it back.

13:34 "DeeJay's got a full stick of butter. Honda's only got like 30 percent of his life." Full stick of butter. Lmfao!!🤣🤣🤣

"Sometimes fighting games are like a game of rock, paper, scissors. But what do you do if the other guy keeps picking rock?"

Great video. I play fighting games, and as someone who's starting sf2 and old games it's hard to get that common scene knowledge that people had growing up playing the game. So much of it just disappeared in the change from board to websites and so on. Maybe at a tournament I'll gleam something from another player but even then! So I find videos like this dope. Thanks man. Keep preaching to the choir. We love it.

I don't play super turbo but I really like fighting games and I love your analysis/history videos! Specially all the insights and clear technical explanations! Thanks a lot for the great content!

You can't stop me Croft. I will be first. Reupload the video 90 times, it matters not. I'll be here. Lurking. Waiting. Liking.

I've played fighting games all throughout my life, and even Street Fighter 2 and 2 Turbo. But I'm not well acquainted with all the fighting game terminology and I find it fascinating. I really enjoy tehse vids going over big events in fighting game history and enjoy learning about this entire subculture of gaming that I only vaguely knew about. :D

Loved the video! I want more of these videos please. It really helps me learn more about these fighting games i haven't played.

I used to play this game in my snes so many years ago, and it was my favorite SF game in SNES. So I was drawn to watching your video, because it's been so many years, and I wanted to see again how it looks like. Nice vid!

i had no idea that these SFII tournaments still existed and were even popular. Damn, I spent 1000's of kid hours perfecting my moves and now feel I wasted my adult life on other things when I could have become a contender!

Actually, I always was real bad at the SF games(for me as a kid it was too hard to learn them, without move lists or something alike) and so I never really played them much. But I recently got some motivation, to play them with my friends and to get better. Now this motivation got me also to search for knowledge about the history these classic game series and I really enjoyed your video. Moments like this one with Kusumondo or the evo 37 moment with Daigo are so awesome and I really enjoy getting to know more of those. So thank you, for this ^^

Enjoyable video. I don't follow fighting games often but respect the skill and determination involved. Thanks for highlighting this amazing competitive player.

As a new watcher of your channel, I find your videos very informative and well made. I didn't know about this match, but it was cool to learn about it.

a little late to the party , but I've never player these games and i find the videos very enjoyable to watch :) keep up

The hundred ham slap topped with butter sticks was a tasty treat to behold; DeeJay got his arteries emptied for good! 😁

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT! I'm new to fighting games, and I appreciated this kind of video alot! More power to you!

These videos are a lot of fun to watch. Good Idea jmcrofts and thanks.

SF II has such a satisfying game play and beautiful fight cadence that its more than a classic.

Man what a legendary moment.

I came into fighting game knowledge starting with SF4, didn’t play for long but had a blast trying it, I def do appreciate the insight into each game, these vids are sick

Haven't played Super Turbo and found the video really interesting, with the in depth explanations about the command grab exploits and such. Keep up the good work!
