So we can likely expect the Pierrot matches tomorrow which will be a good present!

I did start to think, maybe it’s time we download and mirror these YouTube uploads in case something ever happens to the source YT account? Just like put the videos on Unlisted mode and maybe update the OP with the Unlisted videos and archive each FT10. So far this is everything to archive:

  1. Kuroda (Makoto) vs Vanao (Ryu)

  1. Kuroda () vs Pierrot (Remy)
282

How do you know Kuroda’s next vid is tomorrow?
I really want to see his Ryu in action but I also do not want to see Ryu vs Remy. That matchup won’t help me in anything. Nobody uses Remy!

283

You need the knowledge.

284

One of these days you’re going to find yourself playing against Pierrot or YOU or Dagger G or something. Maybe tomorrow. Who knows, but you’ll be prepared!

285

Every video based article recently is separated by 2 weeks. For example,

Vol 12: October 3rd
Vol 13: October 17th
Vol 14: October 31st

Article between 14 and 15 planted a week in between.

Vol 15: 14th November
Vol 16: 28th November
Vol 17 (latest vs Matsuken): 12th December (this is actually a tad more than 2 weeks)
Vol 18: SHOULD be the 26th (aka today) but maybe Christmas will make it later.

286

gasp!

287

BONUS REMIX:

288

Wow! Good job man!

Can you do Ken’s theme next?

289

There actually was one for Ken’s theme, but I can’t find it anymore. It was really good too.

290

Dammit Kuroda. Hurry it up.

291

My thoughts exactly.

292

Maybe they took a week or two off for the holidays.

293

If we are lucky, tomorrow would mark a week when it was supposed to be out. Could be then! If not, another week has to pass. :frowning:

294

Stop jinxing things GameInn =O

295

If you cannot wait, as an alternative just go to the channel and keep busy with the plethora of videos featuring random hot asian chick doing nothing.

296

lmao that comment.
Man these are much better than the Kuroda DVDs.

297

isn’t this time around rather than before the year ends? So that your goal can follow through to next year?

Do or do not, there is no try.

298

The story of my life.

It like KNOWS I am interested in 3S so it will do everything it can to prolong and make it as miserable as possible. Like I guarantee you if I lost interest in 3S tomorrow or even died, it would INSTANTLY appear on their website and be the most phenomenal FT10 ever.

299

Kuroda’s recent tier list goes counter to everything I know about Third Strike: http://wpb.shueisha.co.jp/2014/12/12/40617/

SS Chun
S Ken
A Yun, Urien, Oro
B Gouki, Ryu, Hugo
C Makoto, Yang, Dudley, Elena, Alex, Necro, Ibuki, Q
D Remy, Sean
E Twelve

Clearly he is two generations ahead of me as his tier list makes no sense to me, despite the explanations.

300

anyone have time to do a translation or at least a summary of some of the characters? google translate is not dope lol.

there’s a lot there that makes sense to me. such as…
Chun definitely being her own tier
Ken being right after (and also better than everyone else)
Yun and Urien right after that
Gouki and Ryu better than all those characters
Hugo being pretty strong (I think he’s tough/annoying for most the strong characters to fight)
Makoto being closer to middle of the pack than top four

not saying Alaska players are anywhere near Japan level or that “we knew all along!” but Iso and I have been playing FT10s and tracking the results across various matchups, and our numbers land a lot closer to Kuroda’s tier list than the classical one everyone’s familiar with.

also I’ve heard before that Kuroda thinks the tier list should be based on who can beat Chun right? so that makes it easier to understand too. Ken has the best chance. I’d definitely think her hardest matches are Ken Yun Urien in that order.
