Zangief just wasn't very good in SF4 until Ultra where he was the single biggest benefactor of Red Focus. Then Omega doesn't have Red Focus and it screws him even further than that.
Before I watched you, I never really played Street Fighter before. After watching both your Street Fighter IV and V videos, I have learnt so much as a Rookie players it's crazy. Thanks for the content Bafael.
I used to go over to my friends house and play SF4AE all the time with them, so seeing all these changes, like the hadouken animation change is absolutely mind blowing to me
I played Omega mode. Played Hugo, Guy, and DJ. I remember stumbling across the Bafael Omega cup videos and they are still great to watch. Your SF6 videos are great as well, by the way. Take care
Dude, Ken's articulation and which syllables he chooses to stress is so fucking weird, that I just now realized, over a decade later, that he was saying "Try this on for size!" and "It's over!" I thought he was just saying more Japanese words like Shoryuken or Hadoken, I didn't even know that was fucking English language until right now.
@kollie79 thats true but when he tweeted that he was no longer the voice, he said "I tried my best to be epithetic to people on all sides but I must be myself no matter what and continue on my own journey" which makes it sound like there was a bit of a disagreement from Capcom. He has some controversial takes so maybe Capcom wanted to distance themselves from him all together but tbf that is just speculation, just kind of a weird thing for Reuben to say is all. I guess we'll know if thats the case or not if Dante ever gets recasted too. But for now you could chalk it up him maybe thinking he was recast for political or disagreement reasons even though he wasn't maybe? Idk, weird situation
It's only in SF4 Omega Mode which was the last update to SF4. It was done by a different team than regular SF4 and this team just decided to go hogwild and experiment with every character. Most are fun divergent "What if?" variations but some became prototypes for how characters would play in SF5. Biggest example is Omega Dee Jay being the template for SF5 Nash. I think Omega Ken's angled fireballs lead to the idea of his arcing Tatsu in 5.
I kind of wish they kept his kick fireball. It’s awesome they made his tatsu useful in 5, since Ken is known for his kicks. I think the kick fireball would’ve just fit the character better. Just not sure how that would fit in the lore
@@shishinonaito I think Rashid's kick projectile looks more similar to Omega Ken's fireball than Lucia's. But, yeah, well observed. It may have inspired Lucia's projectiles as well.
Watching ken kick out fireballs is the most cursed thing I have seen
Sf2 Rainbow edition be like
Ken saw Juri's fireballs and went "Cool! Bet I can do that too."
One crazy thing to note is all of Omega Ken’s crazy kicks are punishable ON HIT by all frame 1 command grabs
If my memory is correct, Zangief was murdered in Omega in terms of viability
You can quick rise all command grabs in omega so grapplers just suck in an engine level
@@shury4260 apparently t.hawk is good, but that's more to do with the rest of his kit than the command grabs.
@@shury4260 hugo is also pretty good since he got a DP, a parry, and you still can't quickstand SPD for some reason.

I also was weak and pathetic noob 👍
Wait holy shit those Jinrai FADC combos look almost exactly like Drive Rush combos
A few things that I noticed that weren't covered: you can link out of lk tatsu, and you can cancel into tatsu from some jump normals
4:00 he did it! he did the thing!

Never saw Omega Ken. Lucia actually is just Female Ken.

Kicking fireballs is the coolest change ever
Omega Ken looks fun! XD
I think he wants us to know that this will hurt.
Doing J.Roundhouse > Target combo > light dp into shippu jinra after a throw leads to an instant stun state. If you manage to land it.

I believe he's saying "This'll hurt!" if you're referring to U2
@@KaiVArts I'm just gonna repeat that he pronounces everything weird.
@kollie79nah they got rid off the poor man cus of his politics :(

@kollie79 true
I swear you already made this video because I remember being weirded out by the kick fireballs
This one's a reupload yes.
Hi Bafael, can I get a Decapre at a glance, please?
On the crazy kick to down MK conversion, can't you EX DP to continue the combo? It seemed like it, unless down MK isn't EX cancelable.
Ok baf. Multiple in the works I see
This one is a reupload from the Shoryuken channe; the Dee Jay video is new. But Baf has Omega on the mind which is nicel
i never knew ken had a kick fireball

doesnt this video already exist?
he reuploads them because they were on the srk channel afaik.
Hadoken legs....?
I only played omega back then to abuse the day 1 gen infinite
Ken’s fireballs definitely reminds me of K’s fireballs from KOFXV
Robert from 2003

Yeah and I already did cody.
