Love to see it

Everyone is #1 ranked Akuma these days.

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

[@lomelody1297]

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

[@JonahBoing]

6:22 this hurt my soul

[@DKarkarov]

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.

[@ZenPaladin]

Finally a Gief with damage as big as his muscles.

9 out of 10 times its the same background music, even when neither are zangief.

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.

Daigo #1 let’s go!

[@thomaslozada7918]

He really just be practicing with everyone lol

[@damienanoma4294]

Can someone explain the ranking system? It seems like I saw many players been ranked #1 AKUMA these days.

[@SF6HighLevelReplays]

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.

[@DevilinjaguarJaguar-cm7pm]

Akuma is a chicken he keeps on sending farts . Aduykeen and all .

[@menmabmx1995]

22:16 buff akuma

[@MKG176]

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.

[@LukeyMia4]

I honestly would love for him to have that green spinning back fist again

[@HeDronHeDronHedron]

This is a horrible idea

[@MKG176]

@@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]

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

[@MKG176]

mud performance from akuma

[@abelincoln1976]

Why doesn't Diago never uses a Akumas command grab

[@TSE_WOODY]

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.

[@reggiemoore755]

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

[@travellersdemise7669]

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 ..

[@onedayiwillbegone2366]

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.

[@magno5157]

Typical Daigo. His style has been pretty defensive and not flashy since long before SF6.

[@imahappy946]

I wish crapcom would buff Gief enough just ONCE so he could take am EVO. We've waited a decade!!!

[@DKarkarov]

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.

[@LukeyMia4]

Maybe give his green backfist back, maybe that would change things up a little

[@milton5417]

@@LukeyMia4 A little? Giving Gief green hands in SF6 is potentially game breaking imo.
