The match between Hayao and FrankieBFG was a magical moment in Street Fighter III: Third Strike Top six finalists:
“The consecutive quarter-final loss featured HAYAO returning with Hugo and FRANKIEBFG with Ken. HAYAO was determined to prove that they had what it took to advance to the Finals. FRANKIEBFG would not easily hand over the loser’s semi-final ticket. To close the match, HAYAO brilliantly blocked FRANKIEBFG’s attacks in the air. In retaliation, FRANKIEBFG delivered a super kick, and HAYAO immediately countered with an EX command grab to secure the win. HAYAO’s wild personality was undeniable in each of their rounds.”
