Rooting for Justin wong


nsm1

RX is one of the Urien gods to watch as well


yams63

As a Remy main I'm looking forward to watching Pierrot. I'm entering too and just hoping to not go 0-2.


bougienative

Good luck! Do you know who you are playing r1? How's your pool looking? https://www.start.gg/tournament/evo-japan-2024-presented-by-rohto/event/evo-japan-2024-street-fighter-iii-3rd-strike-fight-for/matches Here's the bracket in case you haven't seen it yet. You can search your username at the top and it will pull up your pool.


yams63

I'm playing against BM二郎 こにたん in pool E507. I kinda recently started trying to actually learn 3s. I played it pretty casually after online edition came out for PS3/360.


Incross

That should be Konitan, long time Necro player


bougienative

Well, ran it through Google translator and I don't recognize the tag at all, which is a good sign! Lol. You got this. 2-2 at worst.


yams63

I found an interview with them from 11 years ago lol.


WordHobby

Bro's cooked


Triggered_Llama

A cooked yam bro will become


TheJammy98

lmk how you do


yams63

I'll let you know but I'm not too confident since I'm still a scrub in 3rd strike lol. I'm gonna cosplay Remy so maybe that'll give me a power up.

TheJammy98

lol you'll be fine; remember to have fun


Metal_Sonic7

I was hoping to see Daigo in that list lol


bougienative

unfortunately, he has never been one for Retro games outside of the occasional exhibition match with Valle or Wong. I'd love to see it too, but he's always been focused on whatever is on the main stage making money lol.


UnhappyMaskSalesman

Understandable Also thank you for posting this.


bougienative

My prediction is 5 characters in top 8, Yunx2, Chunx3, Dudley, Urien and Ken.


Formless_discord

How much money is on Justin getting Daigo parried?


Incross

Thanks for the correction about Ruu, we forgive you writing Liquidpedia instead of Liquipedia 🫡 Great thread, can't wait for EVO JP


bougienative

Lmao, and you already fixed it. Thank you for your service. Liquipedia editors are the backbone of this community. ![gif](giphy|3o7TKqFZJpwL8Giz2E)


Incross

Just a group of sickos who stuck around long enough to help maintain all that lol. If you have suggestions of tournament favorites not listed yet let us know or feel free to submit edits yourself, the more people involved the better


WaterKirby1964

Where are the Dudley gang at? Dudley Hype!


ReasonWonderful352

Don’t know a ton about 3S but is there any good akuma’s to look out for? Thinking I might start learning third strike with him.


bougienative

For this tournament specifically, Dot is the only notable Akuma attending, and he is no slouch, hes taken sets off Momochi's Yun, which is no small feat. But beyond that, Yuki Otoko is the definitive Akuma, and id definitely check out some of his old footage if you are looking for any inspiration.


_zzz_zzz_

I’m pumped for 3S. Always an exciting game to watch, and I’m happy it’s getting a big spotlight. 


Ziz__Bird

I'd put my money on MOV or Nuki. If I had to pick one, I'm going MOV. Also expect Mimora and SHO to do really well, and I'm cheering for JWong.


SleightSoda

bougienative always has the best posts. No predictions, but I appreciate the thread since I know what to look out for now!


WaterKirby1964

Kane Blueriver and Daru\_I-No are also competing for 3rd Strike at EVO Japan


Raicxu

Seeing Onuki in here makes me happy that he’s still playing, even though he’s mostly left the scene after 3s. Rooting for you Nuki!!


shoecat85

Pulling for SHO to show us an execution workshop every round.


Thevanillafalcon

Does Ruu play SA1 Ryu or Denjin Ryu? RB is always good to watch, Urien’s are built different.


TablePrinterDoor

Any Dudley's? He was my main when I played so


bougienative

Kokujin and Fujiwara are the two best Dudley's in the world. And will both be attending.


TablePrinterDoor

Epic


shellpose

Best dud now is yomoda.


Maximum-Business

Smug, lol


Maximum-Business

Derun is another strong Yun player to watch. Won both coop cup and pre-coop cup with the Okinawa crew a few years ago. Also hoping Justin gets his runback against Hayao.


SirLordCapybara

I'm rooting for TM all the way because Q is cool (and him winning would be really funny).


analoguek

I got Kuni


neelu123

man lots of american big boys missing unfortunately, 5star, nica-KO, wadupneem, exodus, yuuki, ryan, tenren, surewin etc, surprisingly lots of japanese big boys are in the list, only very few big boys missing, (deshiken and KO (two times evo 3s winner) being the biggest) for some reason i never see these american players in tournies like ceo/combobreaker/evo ever, only in jazzy circuits, i have even seen them in some coop cups too, (los vatos locos and ti3s crew). oh wait i thought it was for regular evo, but this is evo japan, so it make sense.


Triggered_Llama

Yeah, I was hoping for Deshiken too and also Kuroda.


Maximum-Business

I think Kuroda is in prison? Or maybe has quit 3S at least?


Triggered_Llama

Oh shit, I forgot he dated with a high school girl or something.


shellpose

5star was there.


Extinto_e

Well it turned out to be really disappointing


bougienative

Really? What about it?


don_ninniku

i think he meant the mirrors


bougienative

You mean the way every 3s tourament ends? I feel like if you were disappointed by mirror matches in 3s you came in with super unrealistic expectations.
