@@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.
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.
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
@@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
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?
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. :)
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.
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.
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😊
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.
Again Menard playing nervous on the first match... he has too much respect for Daigo, he needs to realize that no matter who he faces he has to stick to his usual aggressive gameplay. If he doesn't he will end up just like Daigo, not winning any more tournaments.
I don’t think the Evo Japan champion is nervous of losing an online match? He’s probably just playing patiently and doing a lot of buffering bc akuma has a fireball and a DP so gief can’t get in for free.
@@princesssleepyhead8043 Too patient though... which makes the matches not so fun to watch (and probably play). If it's a no-stakes match even more the reason to play fearlessly
MENARD tu es o melhor jogador de BLANKA do mundo nao troque o blanka por zanGief ou qualquer outro voce e blanka no SF6 assim como TOKIDO era KUMA no SF5

the first damn round and you know this is a hardcore pro player match.
Those are my students
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.
dang... what an epic ends from Menard to Daigo predicted moves @17:50
How the f did he do that!?

This Zangief is terrifying
An awesome battle, really ... one of the most epic Battles between two Legends!
That was a beat down
0:08 pro fighter to pro fighter communication

Patient Gief is terrifying.
More like big boy diapers gief😂😂
They need to bring back the metal Zangief skin. That would be dope!!

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)

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.
17:48 World champion for a reason. What a menace!
Technical glitch, because EX dp is nigh impenetrable

19:50
This was one of the most epic moments "IM COMING FOR YOU!!!#MIDAIR😂
The only sport that doesn’t feel rigged these days..
Man thise guys are simply epic... What a fight ... WOW 🤯
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
My god. Mena is a God!
Easily the most impressive video I've watched on RUclips today...
p.s. The call-out at 17:49 is insane!!
Insane match 😮😮
17:48... WTF!?
A lot of you never played sf4. That read was insane but has always been possible even in older games
A thing of beauty
First time I enjoy watching SF
Akumas theme is soooo sick ❤❤
This was epic bro love that zangreif
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?
My brother: Why are they just shimmying back and forth that’s boring af. Do some combos!
Me: (facepalms)
Bro....the read @17:50.....🤯
17:49 Might be the greatest read I’ve ever seen.
I've literally never seen that before. That was fantastic
That was quite entertaining I must say
Damn. Mena shut Daigo down right along with all the hype he gets.😮💨🥳 Its levels to this
I want Snake Eyez to play like this or better than this.
He already plays better than this
Itazan too
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@@ThiagoAndrade-pu6kp
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
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. :)
No one in the history of SF loves throwing point blank Hadoukens like Daigo 🤣🤣🤣
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AT 17:50!???
Caught the ex dp
Baited Diagos uppercut and slammed him. Insane read.
Yeah, that boy nice!
So close could've gone either way, could barely separate them
punishing dp os by using giefs sa1 after a light into drc is crazy
Annihilated!💯🔥
Game results in a wobblefest because you can't check your opponent with normals. Every move leads into a 10+ hit combo.
Bolshoy pobyeda !!!
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
MENARD no one Can stop him 💪💪
lol I like how carful the pros have to be against their peers cause one slip could be winning and losing
Gouki looks like the Ganondorfs of late
17:48 *WRONG MOVE BROTHER!*
what, mena is playing gief now?
yes only have like 2 montha with it
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.
Se la rifa ese menard🎉
Man.. that Zangieff...
Monster Zangief!!!
MenaRD is a beast!!
In the old street fighters zayn Giff is a joke to Akuma😊
They have overpowered zangeef😊
Non of those all SF games stand a chance against SF Alpha 3. Especially in highest Turbo mode.
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 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.
This is wut happens wen u dont use akumas full repertoire. All his tools are necessary to defeat such an unbeatable opponent.
Mena on Gief is scary
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😊
first round is telling everything..
Who wins in the end ?
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
Damn mena
All I'm saying is how did he know...
They nerfed this Akuma variant, which is far inferior to Tekken 7's version. What a disgrace to the legend.
Menard passou a patrola 😂😂😂
Grief OP
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.
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😮😊
Menard is the best right now
Es idea mía o Zangief esta roto?
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.

He can't play aggressive that's why diago stayed at a certain range. But once Mena got in he did serious damage.

@@setiset516 Bruh stop hating.
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.
