This sums up his interview:

Fran3S · August 16, 2013, 7:21pm

hayao

First, please give us your name and it’s origin.
Hayao->It’s a nickname that came from my last name. My father changed a few times so strictly speaking you could say that I’m not Hayao lol.

How long have you been playing 3rd Strike?
I’ve played it the whole time it’s been out. How many years I wonder…

Where’s your home arcade?
Suminodo Ramos Stadium. It was closed down (literally: it went to heaven) a few years back. When I was a student, I was able to play logic pro for about 4 hours with one credit probably…
Now I play at Tenma Vegas (Gamespace Vegas). But Vegas has a Seventeen Icecream machine so that’s probably why it’s faired better than Ramos stadium.

Why did you start playing 3rd Strike?
Because it was there.

Your main character and why you use them.
I play Hugo. Grapplers are easy to use so when the in-store card said “get next to your opponent and 360 them” I thought “this is the one!”

Players you respect.
Sumi-Kun (not sure about the reading of this Kanji). He’s a player who likes JoJo. So when a game came out that looked like JoJo he said “I have to become the best at this” and he won National Tournaments.
When his Ken jumped, his opponents would always be crouching and eat the jump-in. So to the people at Monte, this was always called “Sumi-jump” or “fucking jump.”

Players you consider to be your rivals?
Yohane-San, a Vegas player. We were rivals five minutes after the game came out. Even now it’s usually after five minutes.
Wantaren-San.
That OCV will not be forgiven!
task2me-San
He’s always played Yang since a long time ago, but recently I feel like he’s gotten remarkably strong. In the past, he’s always had way more wins than losses, but lately it’s about even.
He’s such a good looking guy that when he’d play at Monte, there would be this old gay dude that would just stick close behind him, that’s a fact.
He’s also a vocalist in a band and can play while singing. They have a second single.

Any up and comers?
Uhhhhhhh

Do you have any memorable matches?
*05’Tougeki Kokujin-San->
The photo shoot slipped my mind. It was good that I did research on how models pose on stage. If I had done my Vogue dance sooner, I don’t think I would have forgotten to do my shootdown backbreaker.
*Shiga 3-on-3 finals against Machiko-San’s Urien ->
I was going on a crouching medium punch spree and Umezono had said “this Hugo is so dirty!” When I won the tournament in that fashion, he kept going on “what is this!? Hayao’s promotion tournament? This isn’t funny!” lol.
*When I beat Umezono-san’s Sean with a confirmed XFLAT after he whiffed a low medium kick.
*In a match with Wantaren, he had Seiei-Enbu activated -> I down parried his cr. mp three times and then he Zenpou-tenshined me. That guy is clever.

If you could change anything about 3rd, what would it be?
I wanna be able to body splash when I’m falling from shootdown backbreaker.

Please give us your self-analysis
I’m a super technical player. I could probably do karapalm combos but it’s just a flashy genei jin combo. I’m a 360-technical player.
The people at Vegas say “you only do 360s.” I think it’s funny.
Regarding throws, rather than “I should be able to grab them here” lately it’s become “I want to grab them here.” Even when I’d look at the opponents movements and throw them Wantaren should wouldn’t laugh, so recently I looked at the stick and the cab while throwing people and Wantaren laughed so maybe I should do it like that from now on. After seeing him laugh I thought “ahh, to save one life is to save the infinite future.” (I think this is an anime thing or something)

What are the interesting areas of 3rd?
Parrying I think.
It’s easy to understand like pro-wrestling. When you’re low on life and you parry and the match turns around, the people watching are like “whoaaa sick” and I’m like “I’m stronggggg” and the guy who just lost is like “god daaaaaaamn it!”

Will you keep playing 3s from this point on?
I’ll keep playing.

What are your tasks and goals down the line?
Surprising and solid play. I’m looking to play like Miraikei-Idol sounds. Will I win or lose? I dunno.

Any final words?
“That Hayao” is “which Hayao” I wonder?

kuroda

First, please give us your name and it’s origin.
Kuroda.
Because it’s my real name.

When did you start playing 3rd Strike?
When I felt like it.

Where’s your home arcade?
Kitasenjuu GAO

Why did you start playing 3rd Strike?
Because I was free at the time.

Your main character and why you use them.
I have no main character.
There’s really no reason at this time.

Players you respect.
Girls.

Players you consider to be your rivals?
Girls.

Any up and comers?
All girls.

Do you have any memorable matches?
Every match I’ve played against a girl.

If you could change anything about 3rd, what would it be?
I would tweak it so that it’s easier for girls to play.

Please give us your self-analysis
*Dating Master *(chief of [romantic] encounters possibly)

What are the interesting areas of 3rd?
There aren’t any girls, so there aren’t any.

Will you keep playing 3s from this point on?
If girls don’t play, I probably won’t play. If there are, I probably will.

What are your tasks and goals down the line?
I would like to meet a cute girl.

Any final words?
On April 14th there is an event called Yokohama Revolution where I will be making a stage appearance as a model, so please buy tickets!
Also please follow me on twitter!
