Art's stream is slightly ahead of the main stream. It's really fun to listen to.

 

[Ninjimbo]

That's a big deal.

So? He has videos online against Japan's best players and he beats them a lot. You can tell he's incredibly skilled otherwise he wouldn't be sitting on top.

Right, but has he proven he has the tourney nerves to get up there and not crack under pressure? Or even do well in tournament.

 

[SargerusBR]

Samurai is scared af

 

[mysteriousmage09]

MUSCLE POWER!

 

[Dahbomb]

Not to mention Iwate hasn't come to US to play against people like Punk da gawd, Dragon Eyez, Smuggles and Dang Du while being under pressure... you know the players that are actually winning premiere events in SFV.

Like no doubt he is godlike but as far as big tournaments go he is not really that relevant yet.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Samurai might have won this if Snake didn't also play Akuma lol

 

[Neoxon]

Snake Eyez is clearly in Samurai's head right now.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Samurai is scared af

Story of fighting Zangief if you aren't Dhalsim or (maybe) Guile.

Oh, and Birdie.

Doesn't Birdie do well I mean I put that peel down wtf is he gonna do

Spoiler

In Super Silver/Gold.

 

[abstract alien]

Good. Kill that easy ass character, then never play with him again, Snake.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Finally Samurai takes a risk ...

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Just edited that in, actually. Birdie is a godawful MU for Zangief, simply because of the banana.

Feels nice to not feel scared of a Gief for once when I play Birdie.

 

[vulva]

Zangief is really dumb you guys

 

[Shadow_Lord]

THE REEEEAAAADS

 

[Lulubop]

Got really impatient

 

[ScribbleD]

YO WHAT THE FUCK WOOOOO

 

[SargerusBR]

[enzo_gt]

Throw it all away goddamn

 

[Tripon]

Buff Akuma

 

[Zackat]

snake eyez is amazing lmao


samurai choked so bad

 

[mysteriousmage09]

OH MY GOD!

 

[jwillenn]

That rapid crouch bait was crazy! haha

 

[kewlmyc]

I respect Snake Eyez being able to be the only effective Zangeif in the world.

 

[abstract alien]

Lmao, that's why I don't play with Shotos. Bad habits.

 

[Ninjimbo]

Zangief is really dumb you guys

A little bit lol.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Damn, that was tense. Snake with the GOAT bait.

 

[jman2050]

Snake with that college-level literacy

 

[Neoxon]

Samurai choked hard, man. It was heart-breaking.

 

[JayEH]

 

[Dahbomb]

I respect Snake Eyez being able to be the only effective Zangeif in the world.

Itazan am cry.

 

[baddvision]

DO WORK SNAKE

 

[jett]

These people have some balls to keep taking ad breaks lol.

Snake is too entertaining to watch play. Punk is good and all but Karin puts me to sleep.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I respect Snake Eyez being able to be the only effective Zangeif in the world.

Itazan doesn't count?

 

[Syntsui]

I respect Snake Eyez being able to be the only effective Zangeif in the world.

He is just as effective as Itazan, always there but never really there.

 

[joe2187]

Snake Eyes the Master Baiter.

 

[trixx]

yoo what the hell??? My dude snake damnnn

Samurai was playing godly, that patience. Footsies were hella good

 

[Gunslinger]

Aquasilk was doing these corner tricks on online warriors 5 years ago. Good to see some pros catch up on this trick in corner.

 

[Hueytothe]

in an interview with born free snake said his recent success is from him starting to watch match videos where he lost. imagine if he did that in the sf4 era.

Yo, the snackish?

 

[Ninjimbo]

I like Infexious' Zangief too. Put him up there with the likes of SnakeEyez and Itazan.

 

[Gunslinger]

Yo, the snackish?

yep yep! I miss that guy man. In my eyes he is still the best and most fun gief damnit!

 

[ScribbleD]

Speaking of Gief players, whatever happened to Vangief? Did he just not bother with SF5, or did the transition not treat him well?

 

[SargerusBR]

Smug or Punk, goddamit who do I root for?

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

LET'S GO SMUG!

 

[Lulubop]

yep yep! I miss that guy man. In my eyes he is still the best and most fun gief damnit!

[Forearm Star]

Never get a chance to see him play, so I forget he exists.
