When I first learned SF I hated these types of matches, now that I'm better these kind of super intense matches where they fight for every pixel of screen are my favorites.
Zangief is really a beast, all the chip damage and he never stop moving forward like a truck or something. I love the "big" character archetype, they are just too cool, a shame that Zangief supers are not that interesting in this game. The "Intercepted!" air grab in SF4 is one of the best ever, giant monster protecting the Russian skies!
Siberian Blizzard is one of the coolest supers in any game. Final atomic buster was better than super suplex in V, too. The super suplex is just a little too simple.
@@Bertoleyus Yep, it's just one (long) movement, not really interesting. I am curious to see how flamboyant he will look in SF6, they had to animate Zangief in a really aggressive way, to make us feel the impact and weight
Even though he gave up his 2-0 lead, daigo still played really well. He's one of my favorite streetfighter players ever, but itazan really worked for this one. Holy great match
@@sheercold26 I'm saying that if Daigo was always doing the same thing over and over like Mark C is implying, then he would have not been able to reach top 8 in Japan.
All right itabashi, you played patiently. And you knew how to read the movements of fleeing from Daigo. My congratulations. You play very well with zangief
The sheer will it takes to watch your character's health chip away all for a few choice hits. Itabashi drove that damn truck all the way cross country. Love both these players
That second last round gave me a heart attack, lol. When both of their health were literally near zero and one touch from either player takes the win.....
5:00 After that throw break for the rest of the round. Am I mistaken or was that some of best and most focused neutral on this channel. Despite the courage from Daigo, I think it took Itazan a lot to not go for an SPD or take big risks. Not taking a risk was a risk itself, I feel, and it paid off as much as it could before him losing the round. I was laughing in awe of the great play the whole way.
17:30/17:50...imagina isso num evento lotado, o ginásio iria a loucura!! Grande Itabashi!! Esse cara é genial!! Não precisa levantar um troféu pra saber que ele é um monstro do street fighter.

One of the best matches of all time! Kept me on the edge of my seat! This is what Street Fighter is all about!
Wow, I didn't believe in itabashi after only 1 more round left...shows how rookie I am in SF.
One of the best matches this tournament
Itabshi uses 1/3 of a live bar (and a bunch of grey) to walk daigo across the whole screen to land one jab. So much patience 17:30
One of the best SFV matches of all time, amazing job by both players. Itabashi is incredible, wow.
All top 8 matches where incredible but this one was the best ngl
It's always a joy to watch Itabashi-San
Daigo vs Itazan are the most entertaining matches.
Yeah I love watching daigo spam fire ball and occasionally flash kicking for 5 minutes, fr tho idk how anybody could find his style entertaining
@@gpmegaman That's just how Guile works, tf are you expecting?
ITAZAN..! 💖
The best match I've seen in a long time. Itazan's spectacular patience gave me goose bumps. Grand final worthy
Itazan survived 6 match points against Daigo.. such a clutch player😳
Damn.... If you wanna play with Gief you gotta be patient as hell....wow what a comeback....
Itazan eating all the booms and keep walking strike fear even to the beast himself. Amazing match, recommended for anyone who love fgc.
This got be the BEST comeback ever by a long stretch
Daigo started throwing that hard, pretty lucky

This man itazan literally walked forward for a mix up and it worked 😭
Even Capcom knows this was one of the best sets of SFV
This is why I love Street Fighter. What a great match.
Goof Street Fighter matches can always hype you up, that was a great game. Love to see a classic matchup too.
I haven’t played a fighting game in a decade.
But love to watch the pros.
@Adnan Yusuf Thanks? I guess lol
Wow this was so hype! Great commentary, too. I feel like I haven't seen this much excitement out of James in a while.
That was incredible absolute masterpiece of a comeback by Itabashi he had so much he was up against in that match up
Even though he gave up his 2-0 lead, daigo still played really well. He's one of my favorite streetfighter players ever, but itazan really worked for this one. Holy great match
OMFG I LOVE ITAZAN , zangief players are a glutton for pain how can you endure these match up and not leave this character bless your heart!!!
Man diago was playing on another level too, what a comeback..
Bro Daigo plays on the same level everytime. That's why itazan knows him so well.
@@markc3206 And yet, all other world class players don't seem to know Daigo that well. Go figure! 😉
@@Aranarth78 yes they do that’s why Daigo haven’t won capcom in a long time.
@@Aranarth78 ...what are you talking about?
@@sheercold26 I'm saying that if Daigo was always doing the same thing over and over like Mark C is implying, then he would have not been able to reach top 8 in Japan.
this was soooooooooo crazy seeing live lol
Oh my GOD! Now this is the most intense fight between them I've ever seen👊🏻🧔🏻👍🏻
Itabashi or Itazan is the best Zangief in the world so far 💪🏻🧔🏻👍🏻
The 2 players deserves to win. What a match!!! Respect!
Itabashi with that 0-2 come back. Best zangief in the game!
That set was so good. The classic matchup is so great to watch. Great stuff from itabashi.
Omg that was intense! Definitely another instant classic! I always enjoy watching these two play at such a high level 🔥🔥🔥
That's the best match I've ever seen! Love Itazan!!!
It really looked like Diago had that game. But that come back was so nice, well played by both.
This was the most incredible match I've seen since daigo's legendary sf3 match!
Have you seen his against Momochi in Stuntfest ?
The one with chunli?
God Tier level, truly amazing the nerve of itazan.
All right itabashi, you played patiently. And you knew how to read the movements of fleeing from Daigo. My congratulations. You play very well with zangief
I knew this was gonna be a long set. Itabashi's Gief has been getting better vs Daigo's Guile.
So sad for Daigo but itabashi best Zangief ever
Kichipa
@@Rock-lp8lw itazan
Snake Eyez. When they nerf the character into the ground because you were cooking Japan for years.
Truly amazing
@17:47 I am on the edge of my seat, literally. Now I am wondering it was like for the actual players. Such an intense match.
Amazing comeback by itabashi
I love Itabashi's Zangief 💪. Itabashi's Gief is soo fucking talented it's insane. I refuse to play any one with that many mix-ups 😂
One of the best match ever played in this game
Holy f###!!!! What patience these two players have. What a match!!! One of the greatest fights I've ever seen in SF.
The sheer will it takes to watch your character's health chip away all for a few choice hits. Itabashi drove that damn truck all the way cross country. Love both these players
Now that's what you call a come back
This was so good to watch. Seriously there should be a rematch, best fight I seen in a while.
This is embodies the 'grappler life'!!! Most grappler players really ain't about that life.
Extremely intense. That zangirf was played so smart
17:36 Itazan said "No fear"
Holy fuck right
match of the year, itabashi is crazy
James and Vicious almost sound like brothers 😂
Reverse 3-0 on Daigo's Guile with Zangief is just a sight to be hold ! Fucking Brilliant !
This is THE BEST match I've EVER seen!!!
omfg the panic at the end was insane
what change of pace
Great stuff! I was rooting for Itabashi!
Fucking craziest match I've ever seen
That second last round gave me a heart attack, lol. When both of their health were literally near zero and one touch from either player takes the win.....
Itabashi... Incredible playing.....
Super true pro player
ONE health bar pixel both players both players on match point daamn
Saw the player pics and thought Itabashi was Nephew for a minute
I see Itazan I click
OMg. The come back! Grapplers unite
MY GOD!!! Great match with awesome game commentary!!
I have never seen a better match of street fighter between my two favorite characters. Legendary set
that was the sweetest comeback I've ever seen
*THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!*
Gief matches are the best. I love being chased down; always a thrill win or lose. 😂
12:00 - "That was exactly what we needed to see from Itabashi. He need to take a little bit more risks." Never before spoken in history.
Incredible match
Your Lord Daigo went down in flames great game play by Zangief Itazan.
Rewatching in 2022 just because
Itazan ❤️ Finally I have seen him lose so many times due to bad luck! This was top notch.
Daigo is a fighting games God. I mean, think about the longevity of his career, and how excellent he's always been.
what a match, nice
great to see itabashi playing gief again man.
Daigo staying in spd range "RIGHT INTO THE DANGERZONE!"
Damn it took itazan 4 years, 2 Abigail nerfs, 4 zangief nerfs, and 2 Guille nerfs for him to finally beat daigo.
Good job man long time coming
I like how the commentators act as if they were top tier athletes now doing commentary.
Cara, como o Itabashi e mestre kkkkk
Using a charge character is so ridiculously difficult. Diago deserves credit for even attempting it.
Hype match though the audio was a bit scuffed. That constant screaming and low volume mumbling really needs a better compressor
Fantastic and brilliant
Good battle. Very interesting big massive thanks.
itazan! Love the sfv games you played!
Damn!!!! Great matches and great commentators!
The 2 commentators have similar voices. I can't tell who's talking when they're off camera.
5:00

GOAT set
La bestia Daigo 🤘😎
fockin pee myself off that last minute intense urge to win 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 fockin amazeeeeng!!! 😎😎😎
Itazan... not only his Zangief and Abigail is at INSANE LEVEL.. but Itabashi itself is the best SFV player.. WIN OR LOSE.. HE WILL LAUGH.
Street fighter match with James chen commentary is the best
17:30/17:50...imagina isso num evento lotado, o ginásio iria a loucura!!
Grande Itabashi!!
Esse cara é genial!!
Não precisa levantar um troféu pra saber que ele é um monstro do street fighter.
Itazan, the mad genius!
Dont know why....there is some pleasing feeling when grapler player win against zoner 😀
Holy cow, both of the commentators have the same voice and its messing with me.
Is always satisfying seeing Itazan win against Daigo's Guille with all the advantage that sonic booms gives him.
Crazy set.
ooh two of the bests
The comeback !!! Incredible !!!
Que batalha incrível.
Wish there was a "Without Commentary" option for these videos. Sorry lads.
17:45 AMAZING!
What just itazan did! Wow man love you ❤️
