Kuroda is to god like in this game, I mean the guy has his own tutorials on DVD for almost every character in the game. He's better then alot of top players even when using their main, Kuroda vs Wong always makes me laugh lol when this comes to PSN & XBL I hope he plays online so TheShend can upload dem replays
@SEijITheRIppER Oh shit. Thanks mate. No wonder Vanao got done so badly. Kuroda's in a league of his own IMO. I never knew his Urien was so beast tho. Apologies for my lack of attention to the title. A friend posted this vid on my FB wall and titled it "RX Beasting"! needless to say he didn;t know what he was on about. lol
best usage of urien I ever seen so far. great parrying, timing for attacks is awesome, best timing on charged moves, and great usage of his special. Never seen urien like this. hopefully he plays like this in street fighter 5. good stuff.
+svxe RX is also a very good urien you should check his play, he has different style and imo he was better than kuroda with urien, but kuroda still better overall cuz his parrying is insane
Adnane NewGaTe RX was more of a smart and patient, footsie type of urien. Kuroda was smart too but aggressive, sort of “get in there, get the job done” type of urien. I love RX as well but Kuroda’s approach to urien was my favourite and this whole video sums it up
@Axelhander wow. reading a UA-cam comment has never been more informative for a fighting game. Thank you for pointing out Viscant's commentary on parrying. I haven't finished reading everything he's said yet, but I'm mindblown already and wanted to drop this comment before I forget because it's all late and what not.
Johnny You also gotta have the uncanny ability to guess between 2-4 unblockables and the exact frame-by-frame differences in timing your opponent has if they're a little late or early. Ggs Capcom~
The answer is pressure urien enough so that he doesn't get 2 meter. And if he does end up with 2 meter don't let him get a knockdown. Even outside of corner the unblockable setups will still ruin your day. (If you do end up finding yourself in that situation have fun guessing between 2-4 50/50s into what might as well be a reset.)
Believe it or not, it's not that hard. I play with Urien and I do this sometimes. All you have to do is charge a little when you see your opponent is about to hit you, parry and do the tackle. For example, imagine a scenario that your opponent is about to jump on you. You do a MP metallic sphere and start to charge back immediately. The opponent will do an air parry and will try to hit you. So you parry too and press back + front and any kick to do the tackle. Of course, it requires a lot of training, but you can use this scenario I mentioned to practice.
It requieres good timing but it's possible with some practice to let it come naturally, just be sure to have your full charge right before the parry then you just have to press the kick button to punish
@AneurysmXX You got those numbers wrong. "the most complete player at 100% skill level is kuroda. in 2nd place, with a skill level percentage of 7% is MOV. in 3rd place, with a percentage of 3% is momochi. the rest of the players in japan are somewhere from 0-1%."
1. Fear Kuroda 2. Die! I swear Kuroda looks like he has auto-parry on, it's CRAZY! Parrying is hard but Kuroda makes it look simple, you have to have a knack for it. Great fights!
@spikeyguy777 He could, and often does. It's not meant to make his crouching HP totally safe. It's meant to give him an option in the case of "whoops, you blocked this, so I have an option just in case you react a little too slowly." As opposed to just having him block a full crouching HP where he gets a million years to punish it.
@600baller time will tell!!its been more than 10 years since the release of 3rd strike lets see after 12 years time how many people will still stick with playing the sf4 series!!
@Linkcrc I've seen Kuroda play Makoto, Ryu, Akuma, Urien, Q, Yun, Yang, Chun, Oro... Basically every character in the game, and he's won consistently with all of them. Urban Legend Kuroda.
First off, this is originally from the Kuroda Urien Kumite video, meaning he fought more people than just Vanao. Vanao didn't lose 19 games in a row against him, in fact he actually won at least one game in a pretty convincing fashion. That said, even though Vanao did beat a lot of top-class players, he also loses a lot because of his playstyle. He tends to rely on random shit, and it costs him as a result. Kuroda, in particular, isn't the type to get assed out by random shit.
5:45 When people normally parry a low-short, you can usually catch them by mashing out another low-short. I'm sure that's what Vanao was thinking when he mashed out two more, only to have Kuroda parry both. Shame Kuroda didn't read the grab and tech it though.
@Axelhander SF4 is watered down with huge reversal windows and super lenient shortcuts that are counter productive to playing just about anything else other than a game like brawl. 3s took the guaranteed matchups, such as Honda's destroying anyone without a fireball and losing to anyone with one, and made it a little more even so that it was the actual abilities of the characters and the players using them, instead of their limitations, that made them who they were.
Ouch. That was a beat down. I love Vanao's ryu too. But this is the one and only RX of course ;-) not many could do vanao like that with such consistency!
When that cross-up/under happens for most people, it's completely accidental. With Kuroda at the helm, there's a chance he just knew the timing well enough so he could get Ryu in the corner. This guy's out of this world in 3s.
@600baller Marvel 2 was ever popular still to the release of Marvel 3. Third Strike, while not as big as Marvel in America, is still very popular in Japan. Plus, with SSF4 being as big as it is in America, maybe a re-release of 3S will bring more fresh blood. If people like a game they should play it, regardless of age.
@spikeyguy777 Does not hit overhead. But does hit and knockdown if not blocked, so when Ryu went to punish the c.HP, he was too slow and got caught by the taunt.
@ejay9000 Its actually agreed upon, by top Japanese players, that Kuroda is the best. Even MOV has said something like if he was 50/100 in 3s, then Kuroda is 100/100 or something to that extend. And this is MOV we're talking about here.
I want to see how RX and Messatsu Yarou handle Kuroda's Urien. Dare I say his parrying skills seem to pip even theirs in this match? It'd be a sight! The guy is just so versatile.
@themanwuththeplan i can answer this , i've watched hundreds videos of kuroda i asked same question " how he do that move?" i watched another 100 times and finally understand that only kuroda could do that
I didn't realize that Kuroda's Urien was that good. It reminds me of RX's but different. He doesn't use Urien's EX headbutt as much but he can charge buff and charge partition well.
@VeraDuckworth69ing You could say that about any game, though. I certainly know a lot of people who've soured on third strike somewhat because of Yun and Chun. It's not "completely irrelevant", because Yun and Chun still absolutely dominate in that game, regardless of how many low tier jabronis get worked in the lower brackets.
@ejay9000 Kuroda is widely renowned as the best Sf3 player in the world. However Mimora is a very good player as well. There is insufficient data though to really declare which one is the better player. I've seen both of them play beyond amazing. Some of the absolute best SF moments I've ever seen have all been done by Kuroda though.
@VeraDuckworth69ing lol are you serious? Theirs a pretty big difference of balance from high to mid in tier as characters like shotos can just be shotos, and abuse their j, hurricane kicks to counter everyone of your jump in, or DPs, on wake up/against jump in all day, and yes this is intermediate lv or below (the majority of this games population) So it doesn't matter if people like Kuroda cant beat other pros with Q that doesn't change the fact that hes using a crappy character.
@yogsothoth2099 look dude the games been out for a little over 10 years. the people who have put the list together (which are Japanese pros)have had a significant amount of time with the game and they say that Dudley Makoto Yang and Akuma are all above Urien. just because his unblockables are too much for you, doesnt mean you can point fingers and say whos stronger and whos not. besides his unblockables are pretty hard to pull off in actual matches (if your not RX/Senaka/Pierre/Kuroda etc...).
@delatroy LOL... it definitely opened the doors for games like this. But I guess it's all a matter of opinion which gam is actually the best. for spectatorship at least, it's all about 3S!
@AneurysmXX I've heard rumors that Kuroda is actually the #1 ranking for every single character in 3S, and that he plays Q solely to win tournaments with the potentially-worst character in the game.

You still play 3rd Strike?
Ah this guy is a legit gamer i see
Wow I'm speachless
The BEAST what sfv could never be...
not even in the beast videos, in his comments too? chill man
You already know that you my weakness. Jk jk
A round over Kuroda must feel like a victory.
Jesus... Kuroda is such a beast. Vanao is generally considered a really good Ryu, and he got fuckin' stomped on here.
Grant Larson may He bless you
Previous match was won by Ryu. So yeh, must be pretty good lol
5:45 O.O That is just incredible.
i main urien on 3rd strike, but after seeing the first match all i wanna do is hide in a corner and cry XD
Trax 😂😂😂😂
And as an Urien player myself i can't do other thing than being inspired by the legend himself
HAHAHAHAHA YOU SUCKS!!!
Its prolly the BEST Urien on the PLANET
Me too
Real shit I think I've watched this video everyday for the last 4 years just to watch the last round of the 1st match. FUCK that is some skill
WTF
That dude was up in Ryus BRAIN. Goddamn he knew what was coming almost every time
its kuroda. he is like urien jesus.
+7upjawa no he is not ,RX is
RX may be Urien Jesus, but Messatsu Yarou is the charge partitioning God lol.
@@7upjawa hes just a cheap op character
@@JohnSmith-ie9qo how is he op
ALRIGHT THAT'S COOL
Wow, that Ryu was getting read like a book
This was a great match. Never get tired of 3rd Strike

Kuroda's so good he actually uses the taunt strategically.

he boggles kids too :P

Nice, LOVE THAT PEOPLE STILL WATCH 3rd strike.
Josiah Shade Yeaa boi
all hail kuroda, I have the full set of the kuroda dvds, and it is sick how skilled he is with basically the whole cast.
Thanks a lot TheShend for all this vid :)

Thank you for pointing out Viscant's commentary on parrying. I haven't finished reading everything he's said yet, but I'm mindblown already and wanted to drop this comment before I forget because it's all late and what not.
1:56 that setup was nasty
1:15 - 2:42 Best sequence. How the hell are you supposed to defend against that?
Have strong tea bagging skills, and correct parry sequences.

Campbell the Campbell It's not a mixup if you can block it on reaction

Wow. Footage of Kuroda playing my favourite character on my favourite fighting game. I can finally die in peace.
@ONSLAUGHTxx it's a simple taunt, does no damage but boosts his damage for his next combo which is huge for Urien since he lives off huge juggles
incredible! i had no idea sf3 plays like this!
That remix noise once the video starts is how you get people into 3rd strike vids.
seriously wtf at 5:30 he use parry and sp chare at the same time omfg !
Makrouda Prod Just HOW?! 😱
i try it and it works but realy hard to do it !

Happy now? :D
1. Fear Kuroda 2. Die! I swear Kuroda looks like he has auto-parry on, it's CRAZY! Parrying is hard but Kuroda makes it look simple, you have to have a knack for it. Great fights!

Changing my homepage to this video.
@nightmarebooster Any movement which hits about 2 frames of a parry is automatically parried as well.
lmao @ 1:56
That sequence!!
his charging is insane...
18 consecutive wins by the end of the movie.
Hot damn.
@600baller time will tell!!its been more than 10 years since the release of 3rd strike lets see after 12 years time how many people will still stick with playing the sf4 series!!
@23Sirus23 Its actually two steps above on the "petty insult scale". Google it when you get the time.
damn, i didn't even know daigo played urien in 3s. Truly the greatest sf player ever!
@Linkcrc I've seen Kuroda play Makoto, Ryu, Akuma, Urien, Q, Yun, Yang, Chun, Oro...

Kuroda, in particular, isn't the type to get assed out by random shit.
@femstah RX's urien is never the same character colour as the one in the video and i think you'll find this video titled as Kuroda ( Urien )
I thought Kuroda "Officially Retired" after this years SBO, but it seems he cannot escape the grasp of the greatest SF game ever.
5:45 When people normally parry a low-short, you can usually catch them by mashing out another low-short. I'm sure that's what Vanao was thinking when he mashed out two more, only to have Kuroda parry both. Shame Kuroda didn't read the grab and tech it though.
Wow...you have to wonder if the 13 wins Kuroda picked up in between the 1st and 2nd matches were all from Vanao
man that was a hell of a Ryu player that Kuroda just decimated. Respect
@AneurysmXX quote is by MOV himself.
@KikiDaiso LOL ok , thanks for the correction. Whos quote is it tho?
This video has the best thumbnail.
watching kuroda nowadays makes me so sad

Two the most intresting players in Japanese 3rd scene to watch playing.
Who's that Urien? This is gold.
@JaySweetZ makes sense....his name can also be spelled "Urine"
5:30 a tackle after a parry. Godlike charge partitioning @_@
4:27 Was that a taunt that knocked down?
When that cross-up/under happens for most people, it's completely accidental. With Kuroda at the helm, there's a chance he just knew the timing well enough so he could get Ryu in the corner. This guy's out of this world in 3s.
Man. Ryu never charged his HADOKEN on Street Fighter Alpha or any other Street Fighter series BEFORE THIS. I can't get over that.
@600baller Marvel 2 was ever popular still to the release of Marvel 3. Third Strike, while not as big as Marvel in America, is still very popular in Japan.

4:27 is that a taunt that hits overhead?! Nice use of it for a knockdown!!
@MalikGynax you sure? Because the taunt is pretty slow, why couldnt Ryu just use a light move or a dragon punch for a punish.
