Gandhi (Ryu) vs FSP (Rufus) - DHW13 groups

Evil faces off against good in a battle of epic proportions. Who will win?

When Ghandi "switched up his game" towards the end (a.k.a went for a throw), I think that was the most terrifying mindgame of the whole tournament.

FSP deserved to lose. He clearly had more skill and experience but he refused to control his emotions, kept falling for predictable patterns and didn't have to self awareness to stop doing harder combos when he knew Gandhi was mashing uppercut. If he had tighter links, Gandhi wouldn't have been able to punish him as much.

secdeal A counter argument would be that to be able to adapt to something, you need a rhythm to adapt to. This match is akin to if you're boxing someone - instead of them doing a jab combination, they do a jab, bend over, and show their asshole. How do you even fight against that? Gandhi had zero rhythm, he was just pressing buttons and had no thought process in what he was going to do next. It's very difficult to adapt to that if you lose your cool, which FSP did. Yes, FSP went on full-tilt and should have just let Gandhi hang himself, but if you go to Dreamhack or EVO, you expect your opponents to at least be decent and not some button masher. I do give props to Gandhi, this match is utterly hilarious and the commentators made it a million times better.

[@marcusshoults]

MagnetiX He has plenty of patterns that were easy to exploit, aka a 'rhythm'. He almost always did jump in to sweep or dp, both punishable. Then jump back, fireball right away 90% of the time. FSP just reminds me of that certain caliber of lower-level players who go around throwing all these buzzwords, talk about option selects and frame data and then can't do simple fundamentals like anti-air or adjust (in this case, dumb down) their game plan to fit the player. I'm just going off this based on his hilariously salty reactions, as if he's 'too good' to fall for the shit he is falling for lol. Thank you, based Gandhi, for the harsh lesson.

Whenever Im Feeling down, I watch this video to bring a smile to my face

[@blackbeanburger3357]

dude. gandhi was playing sfv there

[@ShinSHOGO]

Nah, the DPs had invul here.

[@dermaskiertemuchacho6139]

Everything he does is ridiculously easy to punish in SFV. DP, Tatsu, hado, sweeps

[@brunoborz]

I should be watching SFV high level play videos, some guides and strategies to become a better player. Why do I always come back to this video instead?

[@jakeradcliffe2396]

I'd be happy to play with you, if you're keen? My CFN name is lord_gandhi

[@UG6]

Jake Radcliffe can I add you?

[@Brandon-xj4so]

Because this video showcases the most high level street fighter gameplay you will ever see

[@DragoonCenten]

This is actually really educational when trying to get new people into fighting games.

[@mrosskne]

why?

[@DragoonCenten]

@@mrosskne Because it shows that fancy stuff doesn't matter if you suck at the basics, and basic stuff can still win even at a high level.

[@daigurenumehara5430]

I always get hyped whenever ghandi lands his crazy shenanigans. XD

[@pokyme]

still the greatest sf4 match. i watched this so many times throughout the years

[@thecjwolfpack]

I can't help but root for Gandhi here. He's just having fun and enjoying the game while the other guy is taking himself far too seriously and was straight up disrespectful to his opponent by just getting up and leaving without shaking his hand or saying anything to him. It doesn't matter how angry you are at your opponent, at the end of the day, it's a game and you're both human beings. Just admit they beat you and be respectful to them.

[@mokkorista]

That's salt, my man

[@tingispingis]

I rooted for Gandhi too because this was pretty funny but you're being completely unreasonable. You act like he insulted Gandhi or something. He didn't do anything, he just left. Why would they shake hands there? If I piss my opponent off I'm not expecting a handshake.

[@mrosskne]

@@tingispingis he didn't have any reason to be pissed off, and that doesn't excuse you from behaving like a human being regardless.

[@scottyj8655]

@@mrosskne he did have a reason to get angry, losing to someone who clearly has no clue what is happening doesn't exactly feel nice, granted the loss coulda easily been avoided if he'd just anti aired.

[@mrosskne]

@@scottyj8655 not a reason to get angry

[@brandonlyn88]

My favourite part of this clip is FSP’s facial expressions cause you can just see the frustration on his face

Anyone here after watching Excellent Adventures with F Word?

Yup

Re-watching since it has been so long but yeah... So funny.

[@virtuoso1505]

This is every bronze match I played in season 1. It really is hilarious

[@umbaupause]

Recommended video from this one: *Analysis: Taunting and Mind Games* ...Fair.

You can see a little bit of FSP's soul leave his body each time he eats the hadoken

shoutouts to that reimu pfp mf that i made irreconceivably mad somewhere in this comment section

[@cutcc]

You would think this would get old after a couple of years, but no it just gets better ^_^

[@marimoerostraw]

the fact the commentators are right behing the guy, laughing at him the entire game is the cherry on top of this hilarious cake! 😂

[@jerichompm]

Gandhi is fool proof he had nothing to lose reguard of his play style. Kinda just proofs strats don't mean anything if u can't deal with the most basic practical things. FSP, Gandhi did nothing wrong u should of shaked his hand.

[@timbynum]

Back again for my yearly rewatch. It's like fine wine.

[@UltramanCronos]

Moral of the story; mashing DP works...most of the time. TIME TO MAIN KEN.
