@@ludespeeder Not to take away from what an insane read that was, but he did it by noticing that Daigo always DPs after blocked normal into drive rush.
Old school Zangief trick; I use to go right into the spin slam after landing Zangief's body splash attack. Id start the motion for it midair. It confused people because even if you block the body splash..you cant block the spin up pile driver. So the splash attack was a deception.
yep agree, this guy doesn't know how to play Zangief. I stopped playing long ago but I recall going thru fireballs, doing 360 motion in mid air landing with the special move. Those are the 2 moves RYu/Ken/Akuma players fear most.
@@MandySweissnot a glitch. Ex dp is only invulnerable for 8 frames and after thst it is punishable. Zangiefs lv 1 is also invulnerable for 17 frames and active for 30 frames. Basically zagiefs level 1 causes the dp to whiff which puts akuma into the air where he can get grabbed by the super
@ginomartell4237 what about what I said was wrong? All I said was that it wasn't a glitch and explained why. Also I have seen other zangiefs do this. It is well known that level 1 beats ex dp. It's an option select as it beats wake up jump and wakeup dp. Its risky and only something I've seen utilized if the zangief player is feeling themselves and thinks they've got a read on their opponent
MenaRD switch to Zangief for a reason. Its not even close to be perfected by you can see how many ways MenaRD can counter. The way he was using his supers to react were nasty. Reactions like that, burnout isn't that scary. Also Zangief being able to jump cancel. oh man
Zangeif has so many options right now , with the damage he does its terrifying in the right hands. You will notce MenaRD is trying to perfect parry A LOT more. The amount of damage you can get off a perfect parry is worth the attempts.
Dude, Capcom have been perfecting their animation game for over 30 years. Not only are they among the best in the business but many of the other top dogs were directly inspired by them.
I don't know how SFII got into my YT algorithm, but the game looks cool. What do the gauges under the life bar do? And what are the bars at the bottoms of the screen for?
Those gauges under life bar is their ex move gauge, to do ex moves. Like when they light up green. The bar at bottom shows their super move gauge. How many super attacks they can do
MenaRD’s defense is fukn ridiculous. If a tank had brains and appendages then it’s name would be menaRD. If ever there were a more legendary warrior then let them bow to the one known as menaRD.
Zangeif used to be my least favorite character in SF2. Its slow, clumsy and hard to execute its special move. Now, its terrifying in the right player like Menard. :)
This right here is proof that they have nerffed The heck out of zengeh..😮 When he can be pretty much the top guy in the old Street fighters that says Something😊
Both of them shimming each other in the beginning was hilarious... I can’t stand Zangief. The amount of damage he dishes out for so little hits is insane…Yeah, I get Akuma’s defense and health is the lowest in the game. But even with that, it’s still a lot.
I'm gonna be real with you chief. Zangief's level 2 input gotta be gotta be going forwards not backwards. That's toxic asf In exchange, give him frame 5 armor on his dropkick or something
Daigo should stick with Ken, he is more suitable with defense and reacting playstyle of Daigo, and his HP/DEF is higher than Akuma. Idk why he chose Akuma and still play pretty defensive, it's not efficient and also not looking good for the spectators.
the first damn round and you know this is a hardcore pro player match.
Those are my students

An awesome battle, really ... one of the most epic Battles between two Legends!
That was a beat down
dang... what an epic ends from Menard to Daigo predicted moves @17:50
How the f did he do that!?
😂 what's going on in here👀🧐
@@ludespeeder Not to take away from what an insane read that was, but he did it by noticing that Daigo always DPs after blocked normal into drive rush.
Yeah you can't recover from the emotional damage when u get read that hard 😂
Came looking for this timestamp
The idea is not Mena giving too much respect for Daigo. It's more about how Daigo play limits Zangeif and how Mena tries to play around that.
17:48 y 19:49
Esto es totalmente una lokura😱😱😱
Patient Gief is terrifying.
More like big boy diapers gief😂😂
19:50
This was one of the most epic moments "IM COMING FOR YOU!!!#MIDAIR😂

Easily the most impressive video I've watched on RUclips today...
p.s. The call-out at 17:49 is insane!!
This Zangief is terrifying

Even though I don't play fighting games anymore, this is still a fun match up to watch every now and again.

They need to bring back the metal Zangief skin. That would be dope!!

A thing of beauty

Zangief can't jump cancel anything.
@@kuro-koma
You're behind the times. He can jump cancel moves, especially his SPD, to beat meaty throws.
@@Un1234l that's called a Kara cancel and we've been cancelling pre jump frames into SPD for MANY years.
Annihilated!💯🔥

Gief has to work so much harder than Akuma u
So why is it that I'm afraid of grief more then any other character?
@@iantru9929and that's EXCATLY why zangief wins. Rush him down and don't auto pilot when you're up against him.
@@MerknilashAnd that is why Daigo always chooses the strongest characters (Ken+Akuma)
17:49 Might be the greatest read I’ve ever seen.
I've literally never seen that before. That was fantastic
dang zangief used to be the laughing stock on the sf2 the world warrior. now he a beast!!!
This was epic bro love that zangreif
In all frank honesty, the animation in this game has no business being so smooth in transitions from fighting to grapples. Like at 15:39
Dude, Capcom have been perfecting their animation game for over 30 years. Not only are they among the best in the business but many of the other top dogs were directly inspired by them.
That was quite entertaining I must say
My god. Mena is a God!
A lot of you never played sf4. That read was insane but has always been possible even in older games
Bro....the read @17:50.....🤯
Awesome figt
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AT 17:50!???
Caught the ex dp
Baited Diagos uppercut and slammed him. Insane read.
Akumas theme is soooo sick ❤❤
My brother: Why are they just shimmying back and forth that’s boring af. Do some combos!
Me: (facepalms)
what, mena is playing gief now?
yes only have like 2 montha with it
First time I enjoy watching SF
The only sport that doesn’t feel rigged these days..
Se la rifa ese menard🎉
4:11 I was waiting for a 5LK drive cancel into loyal fans but it never came :(
So close could've gone either way, could barely separate them
Yeah, that boy nice!
17:48... WTF!?

The best Zangief player I've seen.
MENARD no one Can stop him 💪💪
Its a Dominican thing. Thanks
Daigo quedo ya pa comida de perros, pero algunos simplemente no desean entender que ya su tiempo caduco

lol I like how carful the pros have to be against their peers cause one slip could be winning and losing
I want Snake Eyez to play like this or better than this.
He already plays better than this
Itazan too
Mena on Gief is scary
Mano o zangief tá muito desbalanceado, o Akuma espanca e não tira nada de sangue, o zangief da um golpe tira 1 terço do outro, ce é loko
Damn. Mena shut Daigo down right along with all the hype he gets.😮💨🥳 Its levels to this
Man.. that Zangieff...
Gouki looks like the Ganondorfs of late
Daigo has to have the world record for number of time over wins in Street Fighter lol
Sfv Guile has trained him a good turtle
No. That title belongs to J. LAME wong
What are you talking about@@Thiago-Andrade-84
What do you mean? He is legend rank sp he obviously has a shit ton of wins compared to time
@@RussH95 JWong was known for his lame playstyle
When did mena become the #1 ranked zief?
He's in Japan now I assume and he was playing ranked actively with Zangief. He got #1 Zangief yesterday.
@ginomartell4237hahahaha agree, snake eyes is legend
@ginomartell4237Gief as he is right now will get nerfed no matter what.
Monster Zangief!!!
MenaRD is a beast!!
Bolshoy pobyeda !!!
No one in the history of SF loves throwing point blank Hadoukens like Daigo 🤣🤣🤣
Zangief and Balrog are 2 most under-rated characters that can easily beat Ryu/Ken/Akuma when mastered.
What are talking about?? You are watching global competative players video. No matter how you train your balrog Or zanglief he will beat your a
If Zangeif had a projectile, it would be too much.
17:48 *WRONG MOVE BROTHER!*
Zangeif used to be my least favorite character in SF2. Its slow, clumsy and hard to execute its special move. Now, its terrifying in the right player like Menard. :)
Who wins in the end ?
Game results in a wobblefest because you can't check your opponent with normals. Every move leads into a 10+ hit combo.
what's the soundtrack please guys ?
MenaRD The Beast!
Es idea mía o Zangief esta roto?
لم أفهم لماذا يغيرون أسماء اللاعبين في كل مرة أسماء جديدة
Non of those all SF games stand a chance against SF Alpha 3. Especially in highest Turbo mode.
Yo you know what's funny😮
I told everybody that the way that this game is that sangee was going to be the top guy and what do you know😮😊
In the old street fighters zayn Giff is a joke to Akuma😊
They have overpowered zangeef😊
Damn mena
Menard passou a patrola 😂😂😂
Zangief is overpowered! 1 power bomb is equivalent to a super move. Smh.
Diabo é isso? Começaram a luta segurando o tchan ?
This right here is proof that they have nerffed The heck out of zengeh..😮
When he can be pretty much the top guy in the old Street fighters that says Something😊
This is wut happens wen u dont use akumas full repertoire. All his tools are necessary to defeat such an unbeatable opponent.

They nerfed this Akuma variant, which is far inferior to Tekken 7's version. What a disgrace to the legend.
아쿠마 픽해서 장기에프한테 지면 나가 뒈져야지
😂🤣😭 yeah i see your point man
Never thought I would say this but I think Akuma needs buffs. The risk vs reward for him feels slant against him with his low health.
No. Akuma has always been this way. Sit down
I tell you that mena is only playing with zangif just to show Daigo, they you can have a top tear player and still beat you.
Hi level play
Daigo is done for. Years ago
Zangeff tá em off kkk
I dislike Menard but have to admit he is top of the tops
