hayao literally the exact kind of reason why people love fighting games, the games are hype but a showman who plays like a champion makes it even more exciting
He's an og from the days of tougeki and people uploading 3s matches from Japan. Myself I discovered him around 3 months ago because a Spanish creator made a video about him, and Justin making a video about playing against him when he went to Japan.
@@DPL58yup and I'm not even the biggest 3S fan. I think 6 is too predictable. Take that last sets between Bird and Punk. Punk guess right twice and Bird is deleted because all ender end the same with DR into level 3. There is no shock vaule involved.
@@yrh002b8 I realized after seeing evo and a lot of tournaments sf6 is hit confirms to combo/drive rush and CA. There's no surprise factor, parry isn't a match changing mechanic and all you need is a good punish. Entertainment wise is good to see pros but... You get the same gameplay regardless of who is playing.
This guy has been dropping dude's on their heads since the early 2000's. There is maybe one other 3rd Strike Hugo player that even comes close. Always a dang pleasure to watch.
Thank you Hayao for me making me laugh so hard! You can tell that even your opponents are laughing! We are laughing at the amazing insane gameplay you perform. Thank you!
Hayao made the TOP 6 the most hype it has ever been, his game vs FrankieBFG was hands down the best set in the whole tournament ( of the ones that I could see on stream ) to bad we did not get to see FrankieBFG vs Tominaga aswell, where Tomi lost and went out of the tournament. I Hope to see more of Hayao in comming 3s tournaments like the ones in France ( TSB*) later this year Nov 1-3 .
I love that when the announcers say "how did he do that?!" they could be talking about Hayao's insane execution in the game or just him folding his actual bones in half.
I love how Evo Moment 38 feels so culminated by the fact that Justin Wong himself, the man on the receiving end of Evo Moment 37, gets to bear witness and also commentate this spectacle that’s happening live.
I believe I forgot to include the clip where he jumps in the air like "yippee!!!" so feel free to Citizen's Arrest me if you see me on the street.
Which match was iiiit
@@PewterarmPillar idk lol

this guy's positivity is so contagious. he's just a genuine dude who loves what he does.

There’s gonna be a first place winner at EVO, but people will never forget the man who took first place in our hearts this weekend!
This is my tought exactly, this man is the TRUE Hero of EVO
People remember EVO 2004 for moment 37 and not for who actually won. This is no different. Hayao just made history here, this event was all his.
@@bulb9970 Yessir, Daigo did not win that tournament.
Did he win the 3s tournament?
@@josephwiard6695no I don't believe he did but he came pretty close
genuinely the best part of evo this year was discovering him
i literally am just discovering this right now and am dedicating all of tomorrow morning to this guy
Yo. Check out his highlight reel. Search for ‘can’t beat hayao’ - it’s gonna be a treat 😎
His 3rd strike skill is amazing
you have 20 years of videos of Hayao to watch :D

I was the dude swingin his hat when Hayao did the splits. Im so happy I get to be a part of that clips history. GOD it was so good in person!
Wave that hat berrrrrotherrrr 😂
Dude the tictok comments are in love with you😂
My man 🎉🎉🎉!!
名だたる3rd勢が、はやお1人の為に2024年にもなってヒューゴ対策を考えなきゃならんというのが最高におもろい
He celebrated in a humorous and interesting way, but still maintained an attitude of absolute respect for his opponent 😁👏
he's been so great for so long . . if I played against him and he wasn't being himself, that would be insulting to me 😅
6:17 "no, no, no" Justin's ptsd kicking in
lets go Justin!

Such a joy he was on the commentary side !

I'm glad the world knows his 720.He's been using Hugo for 25 years.

25 years?! Guy looks like he's 16 years old, that's mad.

I don't care if he didnt won. This guy is a legend!.
He won in our hearts
Always has been
Daigo didn't win the year he clipped the most famous evo moment of them all lol
4th place with a mediocre character. That's a W in my book
"Age: 41" what
Well yeah, he's playing 3rd strike. Ofncourse he's gonna be old.
Also he's asian, those guys don't crack even if they're old.
"Age is not a limit. It is a number".
He 41 year old and he the veterans player started in the mid 90s back to old game of SF3 3rd Strike.
@@janematthews9087 well my dad going to say no to that.. he's cracking his back literally everyday
Probably because he's out of shape@@efemji
Been a huge fan of Hayao since forever and love he made it to EVO to rep the 3S grapplers and show out. Thanks for posting this!
Do You know if he streams somewhere?

Hayao is truly living his best life at EVO. Even if he didn't win the tourney, he is a winner in all our hearts.
Who beat him? Or rather, which character beat his Hugo?
Mov who played Elena counter pick against hayaos Hugo, utilizing Elena's healing super since Hugo is slow.
@@ultraspinalki11 He got 4th place he lost to MOV Chun/Elena and Chi-Rithi Chun

This the kind of thing that the new games can't bring.
Young in heart, body and soul. Hayao the legend.
Justin Wong the goat YELLING " HOW DID HE DO THAT" is the most insane compliment
Unlike winning at SFVI winning at Third Strike is a REAL accomplishment.

I genuinely can't believe Hayao is still playing 3rd Strike. I used to watch his Hugo videos back when I was in middle school and I'm 29 now wtf lmao
He the goat grappler player
IMO that’s legendary
This man saved EVO. Best popoff and best finisher this EVO.
He totally did!!
3s evo was more entertaining than sf6. All thanks to hayao

I love Hayao so much and im so upset I didnt get to watch Evo. I strive to be like this
I xrd to be like this
I accent core to be like this
I alpha counter to be like this.

yo incredible he has that level of hability and flexibility at 41
"THAT IS A WORTHLESS BUTTON!" God, Justin needs to be on commentary for more stuff. What a call lmao.
Being able to commentate Hayao this year was an absolute treat - Humbag
This was such a reminder of the old tournament days. 3rd strike steals the show again.
3:14 being obscured by how many other plays this guy has made is insane
So glad somebody else timestamped that. INSANE situational awareness and execution on that one.
6:16 was SO HYPE i got goosebumps.
しっかり強くて唯一無二のプレイを披露して勝つ上に本人まで見たくなる
最高の選手でありエンターテイナーでもある人です。
41 and can do splits like that?! Awesome lol
He was the only highlight in this tournament where most of the top players who placed high at EVO Japan did not entered.
Respect to him.
これだけ魅せるプレイをして勝った後のパフォーマンスも漏れなく面白いのずるいよな～
笑いと幸せと感動をありがとう！

That man is the absolute coolest of the cools. A legend! 😄
Hayao is a Japanese Muhammad Ali
Ok bud hop off his cock@@WeeWeeJumbo
はやおスゴすぎ！現地も盛り上がってたね！流石です！
He's 100% made for the big stage. Awesome player!
I remember many years a go some "Hayao" dude, an insane Hugo here on youtube. So happy to finally see this guy here on EVO and what a treat was!!
格ゲーの大会で“柔軟性”がコメントに出てくんの面白いww
This game creating another evo moment? 20 years later?
official evo moment 38
He is so precious!!!!! Dude is living his BEST life and just a bundle of happiness and joy! I'm so happy for him!
Very few videos on youtube can make me legitimately smile, but this guy's seriously managed to make me grin during his antics.
I've always been the biggest Hayao fan, what he brings to the fighting game community with kind of energy AND gameplay is priceless
I've been a Hugo main for close to 2 decades now. Love seeing this.
Hayao has such amazing energy, reminds me of Kusoru.
7:16 my man did the romance 🥖🥖🥖
The what
bro hit the Rockefeller street
We can all agree that he won ... our heart
New favorite player. Here for the people and the love of the game. My king.
it's insane how he's still just as sharp as he was 15 years ago? If not, he's even better than he was back then.
He's every bit as sharp mentally, but now with 15 years more experience in his head.
He was a Hugo master back then. Now he is a grandmaster
I used to come home after school every day and play 3rd strike. Even then, Hayao was always a delight to watch! Good to see he's still bringing it.
This man is an inspiration for multiple reasons, in and outside the tournament. I hope to be half as lively and energetic as he is when I crack 40.
Let's hope 3s comes back again next year. Thanks for the vid!
The crowd pop (and Justin) during the splits!
This EVO was great. With all the great matches and serious moments, he showed the fun and the enjoyment that is the FGC
はやおさんって、さわやかで軽やかだよなあ。憧れる
Can we take a moment to respect the fact this man is 41 and can bend himself into a pretzel!
This guy is awesome
He's been dancing and very athletic actually.
Thank you Hayao for me making me laugh so hard!
You can tell that even your opponents are laughing!
We are laughing at the amazing insane gameplay you perform. Thank you!
6:28 that advesary thinking he'll have to rewatch the end of that round to try to understand what just happened to him
はやおマニアとしては嬉しい限りだ笑
人間一つのことを極めると本当に凄いな。
Hayao is the GOAT, wow. Surely, the skills are there, but the showmanship is BEYOND!
Absolutely loved watching Hayao’s Hugo play, he was so impressive and seeing him have such a good time was a joy. Man won so many hearts
Hayao 他是為格鬥遊戲帶來臨場感的人
This brings a tear to my eye. I loved this so much
ウメハラが近所を散歩してるの知ってわざわざ挨拶しにくるくらい礼儀正しい
そういう一面も好き
ニュートンの試合見たらオススメに上がってきたけど、やばいプレイしまくってるしこのパフォーマンスを常時やってるのがすごいｗ
This EVO felt so different in so many right ways. It was a genuine blast
スト3でまた乗りあがれる日が来るとは…
はやおさんに感謝👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hayao was a favourite highlight of this years EVO 🎉
Hayao made the TOP 6 the most hype it has ever been, his game vs FrankieBFG was hands down the best set in the whole tournament ( of the ones that I could see on stream )
to bad we did not get to see FrankieBFG vs Tominaga aswell, where Tomi lost and went out of the tournament.
I Hope to see more of Hayao in comming 3s tournaments like the ones in France ( TSB*) later this year Nov 1-3 .
Lets go 3S, lets go Hayao, Lets go people over 40 we are the shit!!!
Hayao is freakin’ extra. I love it. Doing the splits on the main stage was hilarious af.
Reminds me of this one line I read in a DC comic:
"You may be good at your job, but me? I LOVE my job!"
From now on I'm gonna watch all of this games. He is so cool!
@6:12 That's gotta be a new EVO moment!
as a hugo player, this brought a smile to my face.😁
Hayao casually telling us how out of shape we all are
I'm glad hayao really made his mark on the scene with this entry. knew about him for years and years now but this added to his bit of fame.
I've spoken to Hayao before.
He gave me some very good advice.
Just the video I was looking for. Love it. Thanks a ton
世界にHAYAOが知られてしまった•••

Thank you EVO for introducing us to this amazing human being. 💜
holy friggin sheeeeet... that red parry into 720 against the urien..... what the eff.....
remember, this guy is 41.
Something very easy to forget when you see him in action 😄
I'm not surprised how good he is. He's been around SF3 for long time. He even fought daigo before.
Yep Hayao is basically why Hugo was raised out of the status of the worst character in the game
今年の格ゲーの動画で、間違いなく一番元気をいただけました( ^ω^)ありがとう４１歳のはやおさん、ありがとう２０年熟成されたヒューゴー
This guys's living his best life... what a joy to watch him. I'm smiling constantly. What a performer. :)
this is definitely gonna make 3rd strike be back in the spotlight. mark my words.
The Van Damme split is actually his taunt.
個人的に今回のEVOのMVPはこの人
つかプレイヤースキルが２０年前から明らかに向上しているのやべえ！

Hugo is my favorite and this whole thing was a treat to watch. His Hugo is absolutely amazing.
