About Kuroda being an asshole…you should read the thread from the SBO foreigner qualifiers. Multiple people talk about how much of an asshole he is. Seems like he takes every game seriously and isn’t one to give props. Not that he still isn’t awesome to watch and is a true 3S beast.
Kuroda 3s = god tier
kuroda the man = I wouldnt even piss on him if he was burning…
Never got to play Hayao, but did play YSB. Ironic how I found Kuroda’s Hugo infinitely harder to deal with in the very same night I played them both.
Or maybe its because I was playing Kuroda with red rage in my eyes. Whats that ancient saying from random karate movie about fighting when blinded by rage 
ya man, the rage will end you everytime. The Japanese have gotten pretty good at the psychological aspect of the game which is making the opponite angry and making them fear you. In end game a lot of it comes down to pysching the opponite into fucking up.
That doesn’t define a asshole for me. Taking every game seriously is a quality in my book. And I prefer someone who doesn’t give props to someone who will say that I’m great just to be polite (and it seems that many japanese players do that).
I personally think that Hayao is better he’s a more technical fighter, but I like YSB’s play style better, If he starts rushing you down your dead in like 10 seconds
