When Snake Eyez is on, it feels like he's the best Street Fighter player in the world. Comp is lucky Gief isn't top 5.

[@misevibre]

Good player, but definitely not the best in the world.

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

he really is. nobody could do what he does with that weak character.@@misevibre

[@GreatRusio]

@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw Yeah but can he do what others do on the best characters? I am just being argumentative here but I do think just because you see amazing success on a low tier it doesn't prove your superiority at the game when it comes to a certain point

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

it actually does. those inputs are super hard to put in. you would think that he is playing modern controls. he used to play Akuma. he hardly ever lost with him. i think it was too easy and he went back to Zangief.@@GreatRusio

[@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw]

people have no idea how disadvantaged you are with Zangief. I am willing to bet that Zangief vs JP is a 9-1 match JP's way.@@GreatRusio

[@AngelusNielson]

And that's why he's a pro. Thanks for the breakdown, I'd have never realized how high level this play was otherwise.

[@anthonyrobb784]

yee i when i saw it i was like bruh he woke up ex spd... the more you know lol

[@OGSauceDaddy]

Exactly. I had no idea it was a read in a frame perfect counter

[@OldManHan]

Randomly the coolest sync ever at 1:23

[@brad_soup]

That was almost definitely on purpose

This is some forbidden jutsu crazy

[@SujakuuClips]

Snake Eyez is on another level. I love watching him play Gief.

[@alkhamistic]

Snake Eyez is the only player that gives me that excitement I used to get watching Daigo back in third strike, st and sf4. The guy just knows how to put on a show and make it entertaining to watch

[@Choom89]

100%

[@SykNomad241]

Damn straight

[@TheStr8tshooter]

I don’t play fighting games but love watching Punk just bc of how good he is with every character.

[@j2dacee]

snake eyez is not human

[@RobTheMechanik]

I use jump cancel a lot since I learned of it. Most opponents can’t believe what happened. This is a superb analysis and demonstration.

[@Omg_Him_again]

Do you have or know any videos that have a breakdown on how to do?

[@iDrKx]

​@Omg_Him_again youtube might block the link but Shinlad has a quick video about it, bit overall if you search sf6 jump cancel you should find it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO1cqh7ebVoa5Ysi=W_27VRTd7DKLSyep

I like the way you synced Deejay's Hey Hey Hey with the music at 1:23

[@Ramsey276one]

Excellent matchup for that mashup!

[@natman2939]

Man.....I always hear people talking about "secret tech" that pros save for tournaments and try not to let anyone know until they have to but this may be the first concrete example of that I've seen.

[@Alsry1]

Prejump cancel spd is in every sf game since sf2 lmao

[@robe2187]

Secret tech really isn't a thing anymore. Most tech is shared on the internet after being found and most pros also upload their gameplay.

[@natman2939]

@@Alsry1 lmao

[@OGSauceDaddy]

@@robe2187 Yes but it doesnt mean theyre explaining it. It would be insanely hard to find footage that includes this interaction before CCC, see specifically that it wasnt a wakeup spd, then study it for the 1 Geif in CCX

[@Swichmech]

One of the best to ever do it, humble yet unshakeable. He is easily in my top 10 players in FGC history

[@DarkMachino]

When you said he jump to escape the throw, it felt like a plot twist, huge reveal to me

[@pikeau2351]

BrianF explained this tech in SFV. Stormkubo won against Daigo in SFL like this, with Abigail vs Guile, and his ex cmd grab was stronger than Gief ex SPD

[@alexandersze49]

Fking Dragon Eyez indeed. The dedication to BECOME the grappler he knows all about Gief

[@jakemuller8626]

Snake Eyez is out of his mind.🤯

[@SaltyKeldion]

I kinda hope it's not patched out, since you could still just hit Gief out of the jump. That's an _exact_ read.

[@BigJC777]

@@SaltyKeldionit cant be patched out so we're good

[@BigJC777]

also if you think about it you might be able to do that with flashkick and jacknife since the last input is up so delay upkicks could maybe beat throw

[@pepi560]

Anime level breakdown without the 12 episode filler, very nice 👌

[@floraphore]

I was recommended this video on a YT whim, but you've shown in 2 min that you definitely deserve that subscription. Your editing and transitions are on a different level with the blending!

[@yndkk]

The transition at 0:27 is so well done! From the capcom cup stage with the fancy costumes to the training lab with the default outfits, synced with the music transition on Zangief's theme! As if we are about to scientifically breakdown a real scenario, which is indeed what takes place. Superb job.

[@afrikasmith1049]

Snake Eyes pulling off advanced moves like an anime protagonist who is almost at Gary Sue level.

[@TwinFlyDSW]

The pre-jump cancel SPD is WOW!

[@setoace]

Man that's crazy! I watched this match and I was like "WAIT WHAT? SPD has DP invincibility?" SnakeEyez probably has more hidden tech that he's not gonna reveal.

[@aaronyeh3652]

Ain’t no use in holding onto it, he’s out of the cup

[@GGPO_Halfro]

Its been known about for a really long time the impressive part is the implementation in a clutch situation like that

[@Nicomartz52]

Jump cancel Is hard to do even in trainning

[@Genoh_]

The jump cancel tech isn't hidden at all, it was found 10 days after the launch of the game

[@feroce82]

Tbh that tech exist since SF4, maybe even Hugo can do it in 3s iirc. When you're a grappler that's something you ABSOLUTELY need to learn, I'm surprised people didn't know this technique

[@theturtleking2454]

Ok snake eyes is actually goated wtf

[@r3r33d]

i was watching neph stream in japan one night and he played some gief there that was jump canceling spds non stop. hilarious.

[@sm_ked]

I noticed this live. So dope and pretty hard to do, snake is the goat

[@pockystyx4087]

Snake Eyez was a joy to watch; here's hoping he continues to compete and show us more crazy Geef tech.

[@WYZEGUISE]

Who ever edited this did an amazing job. I caught the timing on that jackknife at 1:23 is so crispy.

[@user-zu8ue7rp8x]

Unlike others who choose top tiers, snakeyez is build different.

[@changdean4145]

I think I recall seeing chat telling Daigo about this tech, and Daigo said this is so DAMN hard that he cannot do it consistently in real match. Kudos to Snake Eyez, what a legend.

[@kramareva7446]

I saw this live earlier i'm like WTF, how the hell it was not thrown like me always when an opponent did it to me?? This is an awesome tech that i gotta learn for my gief... 😱😁😃 SNAKEYEZ is on a whole different level of Gief. Too bad Fuudo and Xian is on the same bracket and beat him...

[@yuggor]

Thanks for explaining. They say we need to learn art to appreciate art.

[@Harvey_Mod]

I'm still salty Snake didn't have a secondary to deal with Fuudo and Xian. Rooted for him so much alongside Ending Walker and NuckleDu

[@Roze_aye]

this is random ans unrelated. but I absolutely love that capcom modifies old stages or adds in new ones to fit their events. its a small detail thats really cool to see and gets you a bit more immersed. and no other company really does it. unless tekken does and I somehow missed it

[@AlexandraSpeaks]

Snake eyes rolling out the fuckin elder scrolls of Street fighter knowledge

[@pleasedontwastefood]

Unsurprising coming from the guy who also mains Potemkin. IIRC Potemkin has a pretty challenging tech input-wise where he can cancel HPB into a Buster, taking advantage of the invincibility of the super to ignore a hit, allowing the Buster to land guaranteed and making it a good wake-up 'reversal'. It's pretty similar.

[@srseki]

That's way easier to do and all celestial pot uses it

[@alestanealonraskin6155]

This kind of tech is right out of a shonen anime, incredibly clever and hype

[@Drew_D]

Zangief + Snake Eyes = AMAZING!

[@ayoonine]

Snake eyez a legend

[@UhDewSea]

I wish that with 6 months of prep, that snake eyez would have at least had a pocket character for a high tier and for fuudo and xian. Nice that he still won 3 matches but it would have been great to see him in top 16.

[@Harvey_Mod]

You and me both man. Mans faced 3 Dee Jays😭😭

[@Lord_Sausage]

He was still one stun block string away from beating Xian. If that set was a bo5 I think he would’ve beat him.

[@Ramsey276one]

1:21 Excellent matchup for that mashup!

[@skalawatz]

Classic snake eyes footage sullied by Saint “I’m allergic to shape ups” Cola commentary.

[@andyboy624]

Lmaooo. I love that nerd

[@josephwiard6695]

Really magical how fuddo absolutely DESTROYED him and him getting knocked out already that was pretty good too

[@hondragrid]

Seeing Snake Eyes be a god with Zangief gets me way more hype then I should be. But damn does it feel great!

[@letmeshowumypkmn]

Bro, that was like 4 frames of jump frames he had to input that. Sure, not a just frame, but goddamn that’s a tight window. You couldn’t even see him do it and even the commentators didn’t detect it. What a god

[@shaynehughes6645]

Thanks for putting this out there, if I saw this in a casual online match I'd have tried to refund my game.

[@jeffsantos93]

Damn dude Snake Eyez is just on another level entirely.

[@drzero7]

Thank you, I was honestly confused how the F did Snake Eyes landed that SPD on wake up there. I was hyped when I watched it live, but after I sat on it thinking, I was like, "I guess the foe missed the timing???"

[@thomasprovitt1806]

Man is just built different, from different stuff, in a different plant.

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Amazing breakdown!!! Holy shit that’s some crazy tech lol

[@coomcharger6105]

Every time I watch Snake Eyez gameplay, it feels like I'm watching a documentary on the art of robbery

[@TheInfantejoshua]

This vid is so well edited and put together , Thank You for the breakdown I would have been in training mode for hours trying to figure this out and understand why it worked. Im hooked and need more breakdowns like this

[@Iwantmobile]

If only he made it out of groups

[@tomsky0005]

mid air is whole chaos in this game

[@philjustyn]

This guy is a true genius. Its so bad that his main character still remains in mid to very low tier rank

[@KC_Smooth]

I watch Snakeeyez stream for hours and the amount of little details he practices is insane.

[@juniorwalker2643]

Snake and Megaman have to be 2 of the best Zangief players in SF history. When Snake is in his bag, WATCH TF OUT. Dude makes some of the craziest reads and has some of the best reactions. Everyone is lucky Gief isnt top tier.. if he was. Just give the trophy to Snake.

[@TheFDream]

This is why i love fighting games

[@erosenigma7]

Random viewer: How fast do you need to be to do that input? Snake Eyez: Yes

[@e69alpha]

1:23 You aint slick I see what you did there ❤

[@brendenhassler4613]

Whenever I hear the word impressive; I will think of this!

[@chellejohnson9789]

Nah, that's not okay. I'd become a mountain hermit if that happened to me Snake Eyez is a hero

[@visbaluz]

This is elite content. I really just tought it was a wake up spd (guile player) . This tech explanation and tech is amazing . Snake eyes is a god

Im so glad you made this video i was so mad when the commentators didnt notice 😭

WOW amazing you caught that, it happened so fast

I’ve once again learned new forbidden tech !

[@timthaman5778]

This is so sick! Thanks for the technical breakdown!

[@MexcanNinja]

Jump cancel was something shown a good while ago to deal with luke throw chains. I'm still not very good at it. Snake Eyez is still the #1 reason I learned SF and play Gief.

[@vanya5360]

Thank you for the explanation! The knowledge on you and Snake Eyez is just UH!

[@freakish5484]

Transitions in this video are sick🔥🔥🔥

[@kay_keik7842]

Snake eyes is just a whole nother level. Hoping he now knows how to handle dj

[@tallplay7777]

kichipa talked about this few month ago,i learnt it soon after. should be common knowledge now. well,they really should make EX-SPD throw invincible .

[@MrCrimsonftw]

I’ve been waiting for someone to do something like this when I found out you can cancel prejump frames

[@SvenS2]

One of my fav SF players

[@ken.7019]

I didn't even know zangief could cancel his jump with a spd until now.

[@gameclips5734]

come on snake eyez has been doing this tech for a while now

[@neoyaku]

😂😂😂😂 laughed out loud at the jump frames

[@MrShermanChang]

Being able to do a jump cancel SPD that easily is amazing for me

[@vintajecheese7803]

He's been doing that for a while, that being said he's still the goat of Gief

[@Joltte]

Snakeeyez is just THAT GIEF

[@iloveTSA]

Amazing breakdown!

[@Stinkyremy]

Actually makes me think if he whiffed the kick in the first place specifically for this situation. Would have been a useful mind game to do in the lead on the ending of a game.

[@hdhorus1138]

Nah bro, he's on another level, thats why he's the top1 Gief

[@thecageybee]

nice catch on why this OD SPD worked.

[@um931]

Thats some skill. Snake is brilliant.

[@DozenMarks]

This is actually disgusting. Inspiring and goddamn terrifying at the same time.

[@j.k.b2850]

Thank you for explaining the tech. I appreciate this sequence must more now

[@rmcf3972]

What?! Great analysis and observation! Jump then od spd wow!

[@CharlotteMimic]

JC SPD!!! That's so cool

[@EclairTw]

Great breakdown that is sick

[@Cowmilk753]

OMFG, that's just insane.

[@user-wn3te6rh5n]

1:22 Nice kill the beat

[@AdrianBrown]

This is why you need to learn to SPD from any, and ALL rotations 🔁

[@Murdokdark]

Ok.... That's straight up sorcery... 😮

[@MS-ql8ek]

Before I watched the video I already knew he jump cancel into od spd, then when I watch the video you explain it lol

[@Nawidyeah]

i think i saw siberian lab do a tutorial on how spd is throw invicible if the timing is late...basically cacelling the up input from the spd into the spd

[@z1u512]

Its depressing that he still lost

[@MrM4rvelous]

Whaaaa thats crazy!

[@foadmoalem4908]

and over here i thought its some back dash shenanigans but he cancelled a jump into an SPD

[@mccheong7288]

Maybe this is why air SPD command is change to Kick button.

[@tempoaccla4041]

that's actually insane and I hope they don't remove it

[@GamingCentralTV1]

HOLY SHIT punk was right snake is hiding tech 😂😂😂
