The Official 3rd Strike Match Vids Thread

www.plundered.net/videos/true_tech/20061125ranbat_3rd.wmv i only plan to have this link up for about a day get it while you can

Yamazaki is fun to watch as always, especially with his match against AFM. Don’t get why there’s only 1 set instead of 2 for him against AFM though. The first set was great though, would have really liked to see it go to the next set.

Here’s some videos I took at NEC7 in Philly on December 2nd.

Oh and these aren’t in any real order and I’m also way too lazy to label what was teams and what was singles (too bad!). :arazz:

Enjoy.

twelve rushdown just doesn’t make sense

You sure as hell don’t get a lot done turtling all day with him either. You run the clock down but that’s the only real advantage. You’ll want to have meter pretty much all the time you’re using Twelve because eventually Twelve will get into a sticky situation and the only way to get out at times is by having that meter available when such a situation happens. Twelve won’t get that meter by playing defense so Yamazaki takes advantage of his offensive options so that Twelve always has bar so that he can escape the corner with EX Dive or whip out EX AXE to stop rushdown.

That was a loser’s finals match. They’ve changed up the rules for loser’s finals now (I guess to save on time) so now it’s a one match fight instead of 2/3 like in previous ranbats. Since under traditional Japanese tournament rules you’re pretty much never allowed to lose in a non team tournament…the best either player can hope for is 3rd any ways so I guess one match to decide it is fair.

Err could u recommend a search string then plz? Cuz I searched and couldn’t any SA III matches ^_^;;;;;

The last vid in that post cracked me up. What the hell were those Ibuki players thinking?

On a side note, does Georgia play Ryu any more? Last couple vids I’ve seen of him playing, he played Ken.

Fuck I soo wanted Yamazaki to win against nanaichi! That’s just unfair, Yamazaki really put is heart in the match and played flawless for a twelve and all nanaichi does is some stupid ken bs and still win.
ffs yamazaki = twelve

“ryu 3rd strike” then watch the first 5 seconds of the video to see if he uses denjin

Go Low Tier, Go!

That video definitely put the syrup on my ROFL’s. I really would like the translation for whatever was sung about Justin Wong.

ROFL I love watching those three guys play… low tiers FTW.

Haha. The song being played is just the opening them for Pretty Cure. It’s the anime that Hayao is cosplaying.

The team name is also a pun on the title of it (Free Chara = furi kyara, Pretty Cure = puri kyua).

Silly Japanese and their love for puns/homonyms.

New 2on2 vids at a-cho. Features such as Hayao, Umezono, Tsumoon. The Hayao vs Tsumoon match is INTENSE!

omg, MIAKISUKIIIIIIII!

Too good!

Thx a lot. Torrent seems to be working now but no one are seeding…
That Elena on the acho vids was crazy.
