Crazy set, insanely close. In the end the difference between winning and loser was legit 11 rounds to 9, crazy close. If the last match had gone the other way one person would have won the match count but they would have ended 10-10 on rounds.
What i find fascinating is that online these pro players do micromanaging/ poking but then when theyre in person tournament theyre full on perfect conversions and executions. Like a 100x more aggressive gameplay
Players get and lose MR points by playing ranked matches. Since there's a lot of Akuma players right now the difference in MR between top players isn't that big. So just few matches can change rankings. That's why #1 Akuma changes quite often compared to characters like Lily or Aki for example.
Gief needs a buff where if he uses lariat to dodge a projectile, it zooms him forward so it always connects from mid range. because that ending was kind of trash. it was just so obvious Gief had no options.
@@HeDronHeDronHedron idk why you think so. Lariat knocks the opponent down back into neutral so it wouldn't give Gief good oki, unless the opponent was sitting in the corner already. And medium range means the distance of like a leg sweep or less so it would still require a lot of timing from the Gief player. It just means you can't spam fireball mindlessly at him, you'd need to be ready to react at mid range. It would make situations like that ending much more exciting for both players.
@@HeDronHeDronHedron he would still be weak to zoning. He just wouldn't be in the constant situation where someone jumps backwards and restarts the fireball spam
Dude most top players will tell you gief is a top 10 character at minimum. The gief matchup is also very hard for akuma, if gief gets 2 perfect parry ex spds it will take a miracle for gief not to win that round. I am not saying the match up is in giefs favor per se, I believe it is a real 50-50. Akuma only needs to make 1-2 mistakes or 1 really bad read and he is done.
Boring. Proves my point. Daigo was lucky here. Came down to a 50/50. .. i rooted for Zangeif throughout. It was obvious that Daigo was just zoning. Rinse repeat. Wearing his opponent down with pure boredom as opposed to any actual flair or craftsmanship.. crap. There is a great video of punk (cammy) handing daigo his ass i saw recently.. personally i think he really just can't find a main that truly fits his play style .. not to yhe level he can dominate like he used to back in the day. His glory days are way gone ..
Ah yes because running is so EXCITING it would be AMAZING. Dude seriously reconsider your life if you think you NEED running in a fighting game so much, you are so sad
8:45 OH NO MY FINISHE-
Ughhh!
EEEYYAAAAAAHH
Love to see it
15:55 was so hype wtf
Everyone is #1 ranked Akuma these days.
Seriously tho..😂😕🤔
tbf he is 6-7th in the world in this vid so makes sense
Whose number 1?@@Kitchenzzzz
Whos number 1?
Lotta good people and their stupid-good fundamentals were waiting for their favourite glass cannon shoto.

great match, whether you are a fan of either one or not. tournament level micro managing / poking.

Finally a Gief with damage as big as his muscles.
6:22 this hurt my soul
bro no one cares because akuma is a bad character
more like your head
9 out of 10 times its the same background music, even when neither are zangief.
This is both exciting and boring to watch at the same time!
How does that work?

Zangief and Manon matches are fun to watch imo
Can someone explain the ranking system? It seems like I saw many players been ranked #1 AKUMA these days.

Awesome set. Can’t wait for Evolution 2024!
IF THEY MAKE ANOTHER SF MOVIE PLS CAST EDDIE HALL AS ZANGIFF
Good set
11:36 LETS GO KOBAYAN!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I imagined... IF Capcom add Evil Ryu back in SF6 , we probably will the beast unleashed again
Gief needs a buff where if he uses lariat to dodge a projectile, it zooms him forward so it always connects from mid range. because that ending was kind of trash. it was just so obvious Gief had no options.
I honestly would love for him to have that green spinning back fist again
This is a horrible idea

@@MKG176 just parry the fireball. Giefs supposed to be weak to zoning

The daigo parry!
DAIGO gets bodied everywhere these days.. A shadow of the god he once was
11:36 damn that hurt.
Daigo #1 let’s go!
Playing ranked matches in sf6 : 66% akumas
I have yet to see anyone catch an opponent with the Raging Demon without him or her being stunned. These are sad times indeed.
Ask Demondan14 about that...
His loyal fans are stronger than a thousand deaths.
17:55 when mom finally lets you play on your older bro's Xbox
9:50 SHIN DAIGO AWAKENS!
He really just be practicing with everyone lol
Daigo is so awesome
considering how Zangief have almost no move still well-played
22:16 buff akuma
6:22, 6:38, 16:03, 16:36
Bruh when he hit the Daigo with the perfect super parry then punched him in the chest. 😂
Akuma is a chicken he keeps on sending farts . Aduykeen and all .
Daigo still da beast!!!
Daigo starting to feel it!!!!
DAIGO: "Haduken until I win."
That’s how you play this matchup…
The two most cancerous characters in one match
😴😴😴
@@SkyChady its a Zangief. How else will you play against it? 😅
@@IckyGuy_08 You do know that there are characters that don't shoot hadukens right.
I identify as a top street fighter player
I absolutely hate fighting gief man that extra hp it feels like a slog fest taking him down and i have to play perfectly or i get 3 or 2 touched
daigo wou ld be the modern say musashi
Why doesn't Diago never uses a Akumas command grab
Usually better oki options and stuff that he can do. It’s alright on corner knockdown but it’s not great really, probably his weakest move.
this match is mostly just gief trying to get through fireball spam
Daigo with simple inputs poke enemy to death lmao, didn't even have to do OP combos.
Being top 1 without doing flashy combos is a skill in itself.
Typical Daigo. His style has been pretty defensive and not flashy since long before SF6.
Casual players always said.😂
Daigo is a space trap master
He only grab😑
It's possible when you only play with broken chars.
Daigo God 🗿🗿🗿
mud performance from akuma
Gief is so lovable😂
Even only haduken daigo used with out his skills he can win
I wish crapcom would buff Gief enough just ONCE so he could take am EVO.
We've waited a decade!!!

Maybe give his green backfist back, maybe that would change things up a little
@@LukeyMia4 A little? Giving Gief green hands in SF6 is potentially game breaking imo.
Poke corner daigo
first and worst?
Diago used to be my favorite player but he plays sf6 so fucking lame, I miss his ryu and evil ryu from sf5. His Akuma is boring as fuck to watch
Pretty sure that's SF6-Akuma's fault.

Ain’t reading allat but good luck tho
I’m actually the top tier SF6 player… I’m #-1😎
Tired of seeing akuma in casuals.. same with Bison... Gameplay is so boring.
Congrats on winning against too-much-broken-and-easy-to-play Zangief!
You’ve never played Gief before if you think he’s easy to play
Gief player sucks and too passive and daigo is overrated, fireballs/grabs thats all he is all about
This game is ugly af loool
Just spamming. zzzz.....
Zangief kinda boring ngl 😅
What do you expect him to do when his opponent is just spamming hadoukens? 😂 Blame Akuma’s playstyle
Still cant believe you cant run in this lame ass fighting game after all these years
@@justinmagee2203 Bro, Gief has 2 runs. 😂
Drive Rush and the Grab where he runs towards you. But I think I know what you mean.
Ah yes because running is so EXCITING it would be AMAZING. Dude seriously reconsider your life if you think you NEED running in a fighting game so much, you are so sad
It's called Street Fighter not Street Runner. 😶
