Pro MMA Fighter REACTS to Street Fighter 6

[@wolfkniteX]

Remember kids, if a move is illegal, that just means it's really good and will serve you well in self defence.

[@hyliandoctor]

Hence why Boxer (EN Balrog, JP M. Bison) uses headbutts and stomps the foot all the time. He's the dirtiest boxer you could ever go up against.

[@evilded2]

​@@hyliandoctornot all the time but, one of his ultras in sf4 is a command grab that's literally a combo of both. It's so funny.

[@hyliandoctor]

@@evilded2 I've played SF4; of course I know that.

[@NoForksGiven]

Some moves are illegal outside the ring too. Piledriving an attacker on the streets can easily be seen by a court as excessive force at best, attempted murder at worst. People forget the law applies equally to everyone, including criminals, including aggressors. Someone jumping you is not an excuse to cripple them for life

[@joshelguapo5563]

One thing you should remember though is dirty moves are supplements to good training, not a substitute for it. A kick in the balls isn't going to work against a trained fighter that knows how to block. A poke in the eye won't work if you can't throw a punch or hold a person down.

[@chronology556]

Luke is inspired by MMA, he basically uses MMA, but modeled his technical gameplay after Ryu and Ken, he’s the same archetype in game as them.

[@hyliandoctor]

I think Luke puts more of an emphasis on hard knockdowns (run grab, EX Sand Blast, his DP followup, all his charged specials, etc.), making it easier to be on top in an oki situation and catch someone trying to swing as they get up. He's more in-your-face than Ken, to be quite honest. Puts in crazy work.

[@jurtheorc8117]

Sweet to see Mr. Clifford again! Pretty much always really like his reactions, analyses and some inputs on all that is shown, and there's something about his style of speaking that keeps me hooked. The videos with him on the previous Tekken game thusly are some of my favourites on this channel. Always looking forward to this man on this channel.

[@akilcharles3473]

Marisa fighting style pankration which is consider to be the early forms of MMA back in Greece and is mostly use by men. What I love about Street Fighter and the devs that make the game is that they do research of fighting styles they needed to add in the game and brakes stereotypes for female fighters using them, Marisa being one whom embraces tradition and utilized in her own way.

[@vitaliyred622]

She also said, that in the Olympics they used to be naked and if you could go by traditions, she would fight naked. Woman of culture.

[@AwokenNero]

I knew some of moves looked familiar because in Virtua Fighter Jeffery uses that same fighting style

[@Kenjitsuka]

More RJ Clifford? hell yeah!!! :D

[@AirbenderHawk]

RJ Clifford’s the most ideal guy to have a beer with and talk about all things martial arts!

[@obkworld1]

Someone told him that he's pronouncing Zangief wrong, but no one told you that he's pronouncing Ryu wrong? That's crazy. Lol. Loved the video.

[@NibelungJ]

He also said Marisa wrong, but she is new and lots of people say her name wrong. The game announcer do not, though.

[@grugparty]

Eh

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@NibelungJ Americans in general are just terrible with pronouncing names. Doesn't matter if they hear it a million times, they just keep sticking to what they thought it would sound like based on what they read and are simply unable to adjust.

[@infernaldisdain8051]

@@thenonexistingheroI could say a lot in response to this, but I’ll just say one word to save time: Nah.

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@infernaldisdain8051 Almost every American I see is complete garbage when it comes to foreign names. And it goes beyond pronunciation. Quite often it doesn't even follow the rules of their own language. If you have a good argument, you're free to prove me wrong. But I've yet to see even a single American KZbinr who is somewhat decent when it comes to pronouncing foreign names... while the foreign KZbinrs often are a lot better when to comes to this. Honestly they'd probably be good competition for Japan (who are also complete garbage when it comes to pronouncing foreign names... and what both countries have in common is that exposure to languages outside of their main language is very little).

[@theotherjared9824]

Blanka doesn't headbutt, he bites. It's not as obvious as before since they removed the blood effect.

[@ryo-kai8587]

Fun fact; the word "bite" is auto-censored in the Battle Hub chat in SF6.

[@DFloyd84]

Pretty sure biting is also illegal in MMA.

[@deanospimoniful]

Good to see RJ every time.

[@T_Jester]

I like how he actually knows quite a lot about the complex genre of fighting games. He calls Zangief a grappler, which is the character archetype for big slow and damaging characters and also mentions other fighting game terms

[@zstrikerlol]

That’s cause grappler is also a martial arts term

[@T_Jester]

well yeah, but fighting game terms existed in the arcade eras. I'm assuming he came from the arcade sf2

[@joshualessore7652]

2:24 no one mentioning that perfect sarcastic one liner followed immediately by another perfect sarcastic one liner 😂

[@michaelgum97]

Not sure if people mentioned it already, but the reason for the how they pose characters for attacks is for player readability. You need to see what type of attack your opponent does for a proper counter attack.

[@evilded2]

4:38 funny enough this exact same concept is used in fighting game theory as well. When people are attacking with huge preemptive options you want to play more passively and punish them for overextending.

[@angelobrewster6293]

7:56 I'm pretty sure that was everyone's reaction when they saw how big and muscular Marisa is lol

[@Nathan_Coley]

I love these experts analysis videos! 🔥🔥

[@jedith123456789]

I'm glad they found someone who knows the game, knows his stuff and explains it really well. Sometimes these videos are hit and miss, but this one was up there with the cop and the former marine turned actor in terms of breakdown and knowledge

[@evilded2]

From an animation perspective in 2d fighters they tend to favor open positions where both characters are slightly facing twords camera. This is because the readability of moves is very important and it allows for more dynamic animation. In a 3d game like Tekken however characters do have a specific foot they lead with regardless of side. Because the camera is dynamic the poses need to be readable from all angles.

[@seandavis8213]

I'm sure we can all forgive his pronunciations of the names, but for the sake of myself, I have to call it out. "Raiyu"

[@NeoGunloc]

Awesome video, RJ is the man.

[@blackjaguar324]

Someone needs to tell RJ Clifford that Blanka was actually biting, not headbutting.

[@deanospimoniful]

Biting is also illegal, I imagine.

[@DFloyd84]

Every time I hear it pronounced "Rai-you," I die a little bit inside. Remember: If there's an in-game announcer, they pronounce the names correctly.

[@hjblacdes61]

Old habits die hard

[@YetiCoolBrother]

I will never understand why UFC doesnt sponsor a Fighting Game ESports league

[@windhelmguard5295]

one thing to note about gief: one of his main advantages is actually his long limbs and his huge hands. it would be really difficult to land a meaningful hit on someone like that because if he just extends one arm out with a fist at the end, that is all you're going to be seeing of him. also your elbow is the hardest bone in your body, also a great defensive tool, as anyone who has ever punched into an elbow would tell you.

[@sweepingtime]

He mentioned BJJ and I would have loved hearing his opinion on Manon.

[@manuelhernandez2017]

RJ!!!!!

[@ARKumalarkey]

I'd love to see them react to more characters, especially the newly released Aki, whose fighting style is absurd but somehow grounded.

[@wolfhurricane897]

Someone wanna tell RJ that he pronounced Ryu's name wrong or the fact that Blanka wasn't headbutting but biting?

[@privatefudgenuggets7830]

I swear I feel like i'll be able to win an MMA fight after watching RJ Clifford talk about fighting theory 😂

[@kevinyasutomi9790]

Surprised he didn't notice the liver blow in Marisa's DI

[@fransuke12]

Vega used cage in advantage

[@bonnauce9607]

Street fighter is one ☝️ of the best fighting games

[@evilded2]

Yeah, probably. There are a lot of good games but sf has a lot of good features.

[@TheSimpleMan454]

His pronunciation of Ryu puts a spasm in my jaw...

[@thediabolicalempath7246]

Same here

[@evilded2]

It's fine trust

[@dextra_24703]

One thing Zangief cage name I think is the red cyclone

[@__yugo__]

you guys should have some experts react to king of fighters! there's a lot of good material there

[@DiscoSamurai]

I love RJ Clifford, but listening to Ryu's name pronounced as "Rye-ooh" pains me to no end. You don't say "Sho-RYE-OOH-KEN", hehe.

[@firestorm165]

You don't?

[@BKsunstar]

he said "Rye you"

[@runbaa9285]

The way a lot Americans wrongly pronounce Ryu's name mostly comes from the popularity of Mortal Kombat in America and how Mortal Kombat's Shirai-Ryu is mispronounced in that franchise. It's frustrating when you hear characters like Hanzo and Kuai Liang blatantly mispronouncing it despite them being fluent in the Japanese language (especially Hanzo who is a native Japanese...). That being said, NRS is aware that the way they pronounce Shirai-Ryu is wrong, but the butchered pronunciation has become so iconic for the MK's fanbase (which is predominantly American audience) that they don't bother correcting it anymore.

[@BKsunstar]

@@runbaa9285 I would also say that came from other series like the 90s street fighter cartoon based on the first live action movie and other areas like self pronounced words too

[@ryo-kai8587]

Playing SF from a young age, my brother said "Rye-you" so that's what I said as well. I later learned Japanese phonetics and also heard it pronounced correctly. Now, the English adaptation of "Ree-ooh" is most common, which is the least silly-sounding way to say it mostly right in regular conversation. This is how the English announcer says it in-game. The true Japanese sound is like a single-tapped "R", but can also come across to us as an "L" sound, and is very awkward to pronounce in that context for an English speaker. It can sound to us like "D'you"

[@CyColt]

How about they have RJ react to the recently released Mortal Kombat 1?

[@jrue305]

Where the hell is the MK1 video?!

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

If You where a Real Person in the UFC with his Powers and Abilities UFC Fighters won't last against him in a Fight.

[@jalcome4201]

DIDNT SHOW HIM DEE JAY?!

[@chopcheesekim]

for mma they shoulda just nerfed head butt instead of removing it it was sych an effective mechanic

[@michaelkeha]

Asking people to not use PEDs and fight twice a year is a big ask gonna press x to doubt considering boxers back in the day that would fight 6-12 times a year if not more and some Muay thai guys with 200+ fight records before they hit 30

[@Shah-Ken]

Bread 👍

[@Phoenix6942-7]

Bread 👍

[@wolvestheincubus9523]

so i would like to point out for blanka grab attack, he doesnt head butt you his taking bites out of you side to side. so even more illegal.

[@kinggamerx5758]

Street fighter 6 is perfect.

[@alpachinko9154]

Erm, so many techniques missed and not talked about. Like the multiple side kicks and shoulder throws, not to mention, Ken's tomoe nage.

[@BaldingSince1999]

Do outer wilds

[@SoloKrypton]

"reacts to Street Fighter 6" Shows Street Fighter 5 images on thumbnail. Gameology stop playing yourself😂

Rye-you..

ry-you

Me watching people spelling Raiu for 1000th times: -__-

Im sorry you can roast all you want but right when he said riieyou instead of reeyou i got mad

That’s street fighter 5!!

[@rundown132]

This man really talk 1/5th of the time about size and insecurities lmao

[@blackjaguar324]

Yeah IKR. I'm like, "Okay, okay, just react to the video".

[@fernandopires135]

Really sorry, but why do you guys insist on saying Rye You? It sounds so goofy/stupid

[@mannholloway]

Ryu classic character from street fighter 1 dummy😅

[@thediabolicalempath7246]

Same with Ken and the rest of those classic characters.

Man whinging about PTEs whilst they're teleporting and throwing fireballs on screen. Whats the point in having him, at all.

[@notjustklownin9506]

Should've had on an actual active mma fighter who fought in a relevant organization.

[@deanospimoniful]

I dunno. Regardless of his personal experience, RJ seems to have a handle on what he is talking about.

[@notjustklownin9506]

@@deanospimoniful sure, but would've rather seen a relevant fighter.

I agree

[@ryukomatoi163]

So many revolutions, and nobody asked.

[@LJ_SigmaKING_ToxMASC_JOKERLyfe]

Street Fighter is a s|mp game, most boys (yeah boys cause they arent men yet) only play because they are thirsting for Juri and other dolls. A man with self respect wouldnt play a game like that

[@deanospimoniful]

I'm guessing you're more of a Tekken guy? There's room for people to like all sorts of fighting games. There is no need to tear other people down.

[@gfffhhhuhfgkhg8322]

Ahah, wtf

[@panasonic7]

Nah bro im playing because of ma' boy Jamie

[@capybara6996]

Okay sigma male.

[@jetrosison375]

I dont even care the Juri feet trend, Zangief is my favorite and his training part in world tour mode where he encourages you to build up muscles is just powerful to motivate me. Besides it appears you're a tekken guy right? imagine saying that even after some tekken fans thirst over a robot girls or crying about Heihachi should come back or even Bruce and whatever their mains that is not on the tekken eight roster lmao. A man with self respect? yeah sure but if you don't know how to at least respect others then you don't deserve respect too
