GekkanShounen Snake Eyez was better in SF4 for sure, the only reason he's so dormant in SFV is because he's such a footsie based player and we all know SFV has no footsies :(
why do people say sfv has no footsies when literally all these top players play so much footsies. In one of the games played earlier that day, Itazan beat somebody literally doing only normals against whiffed normals. And then people complain when people use Dictator, Necalli and Guile extremely well because they were monster walls and max distance normals for footsies. There's plenty of footsies and defenseive players. Heck, most of them made it to round of 16.
I don't know if you agree with me but I enjoy so much watching these matches, it does not matter who. I admire Itibashi because of his character (not easy to play with), Tokido is such a great player but he is starting to bore me, he only plays with Akuma and with other character. Daigo has been using Ryu, Akuma, Guile which is so good, maybe he is not the best anymore but he likes rolling with different characters, and that is the best thing on a fighting game. Anyway, I just want to say that I thousand times Itibashi than Tokido because is brave by selecting a player who has a weakness on distance. I
Itabashi is not a name, it is a place. His name literally means "the Gief from Itabashi", meaning that other players probabily referred to him like this, and I bet somebody would go to the arcade in Itabashi (a Taito station I assume) just to play agains a good Gief.
Omar Z itaz came about by using the first portion of itabashi which is it's and the first. portion of his fav players name which is San from zangief and so u have it. itazan.
Omar Z cool. he's my main man but in this match up he screwed up a lot I. the last round missing opportunities to get akuma ith spinning close line while akuma kept jumping.
Es adsurdo poner a un gran luchador .con este suertudo de atabashi .tokido es algo superior se ve en su forma de luchar q le pone todo su ser el el control .
Itazan doesn't really use the red armor muscle flex move barely at all....i think if he'd incorporate it more he'd be way more dangerous, even if it's just as a diversionary tactic, setup for something else, or just to make his opponent hesitate... It would balance out his play imo
itazan screwed up at the last match. I'm not even a great player. but I know he missed a lot of chances to get akuma with the spinning close line when akuma kept jumping.
He's not shit tier. He eliminated Momishi who uses Ken and hold his own against other pro players quite well. Zangief just takes a LOT of dedication/commitment to use. Once you're good with that and have it down pack you will start to see how things can shift in his favor.
Itabashi is the epitome of character loyalty
The dopest Gief
Necroing this thread to say this didn’t age that well
itabashi marisa
damn! the punish by zangief to akuma is damn hurt!
full respect to zangief players as we know it's hard to use it against hadoken characters.
As much as I heart Tokido I was cheering on Itazan. Best Zangief in the world undeniably

You what? Did emojis become normal speech?
darkfeffy yes 🦋🐛🐥🐧🙊🐼🦁🐵🐔
4:20 It's time to watch some guide about zangief....

I
I agree, Tokido gotta be one of the most boring players to watch
these are the hypest commentators ive ever heard

Nice info
search for the documentary "the life of a street fighter pro" on youtube, it's pretty good.
Omar Z oh.. just like PR Rog then.

its great having Yipes back at the mic!
Why does Itabashi remind me of that weird dude in Death Note?
Mr. White because Tokido gave him the L...
D A M N
Wow you guys didn't plan this did you? Too good
minato808 No, but I'm glad Tokido won the match or else I would've not posted this. Lol
Wonder why Itazan doesn't use the running grab more. Such a powerful move when timed properly
Itazan I like that he smiles regardless win or loose
How can I mute that one announcer?
Michael Segarra which one?
Es adsurdo poner a un gran luchador .con este suertudo de atabashi .tokido es algo superior se ve en su forma de luchar q le pone todo su ser el el control .
Tokido eres fuego y espíritu de lucha . Q se fusiona con tu avatar Akuma .el mejor de todos .en pocas palabras el rey

Why is itabashi allowed to use his phone during matches? He could be getting advice from a team.
choosing akuma its like choosing rugal in kof 2002
TWO OF MY FAVOURITE PLAYERS OF ALL TIME I DONT CARE WHERE IT GOES, THESE BOTH HAVE RESPECT EVEN WHEN THEY LOSE AND TAKE IT SPORTINGLY
How much longer until we get our next piece of Marvel VS. Capcom Infinite news?!
Eso hijo uds es el verdadero campeón .felicidades tokido eres digno de admirar .eso es aló q yo le llamo tener el control jajaja .bendiciones mi amigo
That vegeta reference I see you yipes
Zangief is that guy but Akuma not the guy u wanna mess wit in dem streets.
Who are the commentators?
MGOFadeToBlack One of the reminds me of D1
MGOFadeToBlack lol expose these yung kats
ninwing from SSF2? Hes younger than 16 lol.
season 3 of sfv, gief should have a gun
how about green hands?
razorgem555to666 banishing flat would make him op
Take a wild guess which commentator is doing too much??
That was gawd
Steven A Smith announces video games now
Itazan is a true legend and a true beast,not those Akuma's and (Evil)Ryu's garbage.
Yipes' "Jesus Christ" count at Final Round XX: over 9000.
Tokido played this match very well
Tokido getting vortex'ed by a Gief, wow.
What's with the weird cross dressing role playing Asian guy in the first row of every single SF5 match on RUclips? 😂
SVTsupercharged LMAO
The only thing to take away here is that one commentator has a thing for insest.
Those commentators and Itabashi had me in tears. xD
damn I was rooting for the Giefning to happen to Tokkido
It was getting started for a bit but Tokido did not gief up.
The Zangief player is superior
itazan senpai noooooooo I was heart broken when he lost why don't gief player throw tech he got thrown so many time
Tokido é lenda.
Lenda dos bonecos quebrados.
Soubarashiiii
3:41 Girly James is best James.
Maryokutaizero Lol:). Sounded like Mrs. Doubtfire. Love James.
Buttery Scoop!
Tokido took him to Hurt City
I bet when it comes to sf x (street fighter 10) everything will look the same and young lmfao
3:47 SIKE
YIPEEEEEEEES
itazan screwed up at the last match. I'm not even a great player. but I know he missed a lot of chances to get akuma with the spinning close line when akuma kept jumping.
akuma looks so dumb in this game
OldSlyEyes he looks like the lynels from BotW
No he fn doesn't. He looks like an fn lion. Nothing dumb about that.
literally the only damage he did was grab
Isaiah Mcdaniel he's Zangief.
Dog tokido😠
TOKIDO
Takes a lot of risk taking Gief to a competitive tournament, considering he's shit tier. My hat off to the Gief player.
Actually, Gief is top 10 this season, some Asian players even consider him top tier.
He's not shit tier. He eliminated Momishi who uses Ken and hold his own against other pro players quite well. Zangief just takes a LOT of dedication/commitment to use. Once you're good with that and have it down pack you will start to see how things can shift in his favor.
lmao... you cant be serious. shit tier? hahhahah
+COREY M your mom is shit tier.
Down pat. And yes Geif takes dedication. Those Akuma command jumps to grabs are very cheap in this match up.
