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

[@hiphopexorcist]

One of the best matches of all time! Kept me on the edge of my seat! This is what Street Fighter is all about!

[@gravity-zero2917]

Wow, I didn't believe in itabashi after only 1 more round left...shows how rookie I am in SF.

[@katlegomatamela]

One of the best matches this tournament

[@yitoji]

One of the best SFV matches of all time, amazing job by both players. Itabashi is incredible, wow.

[@augustocesar5191]

All top 8 matches where incredible but this one was the best ngl

[@themosthighvaluemaninthega9048]

It's always a joy to watch Itabashi-San

[@LandoDaLover]

Daigo vs Itazan are the most entertaining matches.

[@gpmegaman]

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

[@augustocesar5191]

@@gpmegaman That's just how Guile works, tf are you expecting?

[@michaelromeo9567]

ITAZAN..! 💖

[@はまー-q3x]

Itazan survived 6 match points against Daigo.. such a clutch player😳

[@zodiaction8419]

Damn.... If you wanna play with Gief you gotta be patient as hell....wow what a comeback....

[@N13J]

Itazan eating all the booms and keep walking strike fear even to the beast himself. Amazing match, recommended for anyone who love fgc.

[@speedsterh]

The best match I've seen in a long time. Itazan's spectacular patience gave me goose bumps. Grand final worthy

[@user-tn4pr4gu3t]

This got be the BEST comeback ever by a long stretch

[@Jaryism]

Daigo started throwing that hard, pretty lucky

[@AsiaDanceScene]

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.

[@5dollarshake263]

Easily one of the best matches ever.

[@Jaryism]

not eve close

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

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!

[@Bertoleyus]

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.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

@@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

[@jratma]

Wow this was so hype! Great commentary, too. I feel like I haven't seen this much excitement out of James in a while.

[@willh7352]

this was soooooooooo crazy seeing live lol

[@Darkhate913]

That was incredible absolute masterpiece of a comeback by Itabashi he had so much he was up against in that match up

[@MrStalyn]

This is why I love Street Fighter. What a great match.

[@drewwilliams8064]

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

[@Arches_Games]

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 💪🏻🧔🏻👍🏻

[@ensignd.crexote5350]

I haven’t played a fighting game in a decade. But love to watch the pros.

[@ensignd.crexote5350]

@Adnan Yusuf Thanks? I guess lol

[@KaijuLover85]

Itabashi with that 0-2 come back. Best zangief in the game!

[@southernfadearcade4907]

Man diago was playing on another level too, what a comeback..

[@markc3206]

Bro Daigo plays on the same level everytime. That's why itazan knows him so well.

[@Aranarth78]

[@Aranarth78]

@@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.

[@willslouis2137]

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!!!

[@trainwreck9567]

Omg that was intense! Definitely another instant classic! I always enjoy watching these two play at such a high level 🔥🔥🔥

[@justterrell956]

It really looked like Diago had that game. But that come back was so nice, well played by both.

[@glauberluis2926]

The 2 players deserves to win. What a match!!! Respect!

[@FlytoZenith]

That set was so good. The classic matchup is so great to watch. Great stuff from itabashi.

[@joselagos4435]

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

Reverse 3-0 on Daigo's Guile with Zangief is just a sight to be hold ! Fucking Brilliant !

[@rmglover3191]

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

[@JCintheBCC]

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.

[@Sebastian-kb1vm]

Now that's what you call a come back

[@jakesmith5278]

Holy f###!!!! What patience these two players have. What a match!!! One of the greatest fights I've ever seen in SF.

[@zerox615]

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.....

Your Lord Daigo went down in flames great game play by Zangief Itazan.

[@NBCNothingButCrap]

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.

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

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.

[@DensilGrant]

I like how the commentators act as if they were top tier athletes now doing commentary.
