The Hayao vs. FrankieBFG match was a magical moment in the Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike top six finals:
“In back-to-back losing quarter-finals, HAYAO came back with Hugo and FRANKIEBFG with Ken. HAYAO was determined to show that he had what it took to get back to the grand final. FRANKIEBFG wasn’t about to just give his ticket to the losers of the Semi-Finals for free. HAYAO parried the attacks magnificently FRANKIEBFG, and HAYAO immediately comes back with an EX command to win. It was impossible to ignore HAYAO’s extravagant personality.”
