I'm 42 yrs old, and I thought I was too old for the FGC, but seeing Hayao, who is 41, and MOV 39, they are still so active and perform so well, my blood is now burning again! EVO moment #37 took me to Fighting Games, EVO 2024 takes me back to it again!
@@drwalka10It’s called having ‘fun’. It also hypes the crowd up - especially in a competitive setting. Obviously we’re all entitled to our own opinion. If you’ve watched any of Hayao’s old clips, this is his mannerisms since the early 2000’s in SBO days with Kuroda etc
@@drwalka10 lol bro you're in the wrong place with all that hate. He's bringing a high energy and is super fun to both watch and be around. I have a feeling it's work being around you 😂
It's awesome to see how much exposure and love Hayao is getting from the Evo audience. He's been a beast since the early 2000s and has never lost his fun antics. Always will be one of my favorite players ever.
Hayao is a whole ass character, lmao. I know he focuses mostly on SF3, but I really hope he competes in more modern games too, because his presence and showmanship would lighten up any event he competes in 😂
I’ve been a fan of Hayao’s BEASTLY Hugo for a long fucking time but this is one of his HARDEST performances ever. He was fighting at his best here for sure and I hope to see more play like this out of him
if you notice, issei's yun "genei jin" special wasn't hitting at all at the end. that was the key to the MOV win. It would either whiff totally not getting no damage, or just get 2-4 hits, when before he was hitting 10-11 hit combos when in that state. once MOV solved that, it was over.
This moment and his red parry against Resolve’s Urien EX headbutt into Gigasbreaker was 🤯 Was waiting for Chi-Rithy to SA2 Hayao but he didn’t dare do it, cause you know what would have happen….parry, parry, parry, parry, parry, parry,parry, parry, Gigas Breaker FTW. Amazing 3S gameplay.
SPOOKY certainly needs to be recognized for actually providing the outlet for many to actually see many tournaments and showed alot of people how things should be done on the streaming end.
What do you guys expect? you can't go wrong with 3rd Strike! Congrats to Hayao for some great performances from him! They need to bring this back for another year, because we are still fighting for the future.
What a great gift this EVO has given us to see Hayao again and these plays like 1:16 that would be impossible to reproduce the hype in today's fighting games
The street fighter franchise is king of the crop. With the exception of smash Bros there's no other fighting game with a huge community with so much relevancy
Brutal😮😮😮😮😮 lo de hayao y su Hugo........y como plus Chun li en el publico😲.........en estos eventos nacen leyendas contadas mas que grandes ganadores.........esa adrenalina, emocion que solo los video juegos de pelea te inyectan.....👍👍👍👍👍....♥️🎮💪😁
Seeing the impact of evo moment 37 and how amazing this top 6 was I feel like it would be cool if they made third strike on the main stage every year in addition to the rotating retro game
Hayao got most of the attention (very understandably) but the winner won more with ELENA than with anyone else, a character about as good as Hugo, congrats to MOV (Also to Hayao for being the goat of Hugo)
Im curious about the TV with integrated game they use for 3rd Strike. I guess this is something made, but how do they do it? They take an original 3rd Strike PCB from an arcade machine and built something with it? Anyone know?
The fact that he did the splits and created the next EVO moment within 5 minutes of each other is diabolical
Which part is this? Time stamp?

Hayao held the crowd in his hand like a real pro wrestler
The fact that he was still having a great time even on rounds he lost, that's the good shit right there.
1:16:28 Was just beautiful, man. Moments like this are some of the many reasons why Third Strike is so beloved and why it's synonymous with EVO hype.
Even after 25 years of this game's release, it still manages to generate this much hype. Unreal.
Unlike any new releases which is a fact people conveniently ignore.
Every set played was truly insane... Frankie vs Hayo set is Fight of the night... and we all deserve a rematch !!!
Only if mk1 was as good as this
It's awesome to see how much exposure and love Hayao is getting from the Evo audience. He's been a beast since the early 2000s and has never lost his fun antics. Always will be one of my favorite players ever.
Resolve making it to top 6 is INSANE, given the context that Moment 37 happened when he was only an INFANT.

Man, I love how often the player's smile in-between rounds. So wholesome that they can keep this kind of mode even when the stakes are so high.
its cause this game is actually fun unlike a lot of mmodern fighting games
Absolutely sick event. Third Strike is never dying!
Blessings to Daigo, Justin, their families, and all the FGC. Best gaming community of all time. 💯💯👍🏾👍🏾

1:16:20 is what you're looking for
Thx bro
evo moment 38 right here
This is why 3rd Strike is amazing. Everyone being able to forward parry adds the next level of mind games to the game. SF6 parry is too easy.
This moment and his red parry against Resolve’s Urien EX headbutt into Gigasbreaker was 🤯
Was waiting for Chi-Rithy to SA2 Hayao but he didn’t dare do it, cause you know what would have happen….parry, parry, parry, parry, parry, parry,parry, parry, Gigas Breaker FTW.
Amazing 3S gameplay.
That's so wild every single time I watch it
I was in the arena and that whole set was goated!! And bro is a showman for sure!! Just wild!!
Moment 38 is here!!!
1:53:37 LOL Justin, we all know what you meant.
"I would do something reckless"
Let’s go Justin!
I'm really glad 3rd Strike got another year at Evo. Great tournament!
Loved seeing this in person. Hayao was the people's champ that night
Hayao is too POWERFUL
to see that 3s is still getting so much love, makes me want to get back into the game =)

The “3rd strike is a two character game” crowd very quiet after this Top 6
Man that crt setup is amazing
Just CRT? The whole 1040-smth bracket played on an arcade hardware!
Hayao is awesome.
twenty five years has passed and still one of most played game in Evo Events.
Hayao vs FrankieBFG was the best match I've seen in years, thank you for this! Long live Third Strike!
This game is more popular then ever. Capcom, give us an updated 4th version already. This should have been the year. (One can always hope)
I dont play SF3 but damn happy seeing such a large crowd for this classic! Canada representing in the Top 3, amazing :)
SPOOKY certainly needs to be recognized for actually providing the outlet for many to actually see many tournaments and showed alot of people how things should be done on the streaming end.
He's definitely one of the OG's when it came to the early days of streaming tournaments, he'll always be a legend in my eyes

I absolutely love Hayao’s energy. Always have. That was a great set.
1:14:44 the timing on the low medium to duck under and also turn around fast enough on a cross-up to land a 720 afterward is insane
Im glad the new school has gotten to witness the greatness that is hayao
I like that both elena and hugo were in top 6
I gotta say, the commentary was impeccable. It's yipes level good.

That SF3 jacket that Vicious has on is FIRE
I’m really really bad at this game but god I love watching it so much
Me too, bro. Me too.
It's OK. We're all really really bad compared to these guys.
You have a spirit that is lost to time now.
That’s a fantastic Third Strike jacket to wear as a host.

I came to EVO this year for them but did not even know this and missed :(
Ive been watching Hayao playing on arcade for 20 years, never even knew how he looks like 🤣
The man deserves all the praise and hype.
Wow, one of the best displays of skill in FGs ever, and 25 years in the making!
Amazing. Honoring the real legends the pioneers of the FGC Wong and Diago.
3RD STRIKE WILL NEVER DIE
Hayao, thank you. Love, True Might and on behalf of our fallen brother Circlemasher
What a banger, please more
Super awesome ....gonna try to go next year ....looks like so much fun.
i love how deep fried the sf3 soundtrack is
"I'm thirty years old" hahahaha Justin is so funny
Now that SF 3 is back at EVO and it was so good I hope it never leaves.
Truly heartfelt opening... great top 6

I havent even watched the finals and i dont plan to anymore. Nothing tops this set. That air parry at the end and roundhouse dodge is insane. Insane.
The Justin 30 jk was funny! Respect to JWong, still going strong. Awesome commentary!
Come on man!!! This game is this old and STILL one of the best fgc games ever.
A third strike tournament with Yun and chunli banned would be hella fun
Third Strike still has legendary moments. What a show this was
Hayao was such a good performer his matches were insane, but also Isseis final stretch in the losers finals had me on the edge of my seat
The day evo moment 38 was born
MOV also won the Capcom Streetfighter 25th anniversary for 3rd strike
Daigo has thousands of people chanting his name and walks out on stage like he just took a wrong turn somewhere . Love his chill demeanor.😆

EVO and CAPCOM we should got a live SF3 Third Strike HIP HOP intro for the guy who made that soundtrack famous.
No fighting game is more hype than 3rd Strike. MvC2 comes close, but for me 3rd Strike will always be the GOAT.
Infinite and Substantial in the intro song is GODLIKE ppl don't understand these are true OGs.
That song was godlike
Hayao busting up every emotes in front of thousand of people, thats the most expressive japanese man i ever seen
omfg. This is UNREAL. Where's Kuroda, tho? :(
probably on probation for being a pedo
