[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

Playing Gief in mvc2 takes a person that’s built different, man. Like that’s a character that almost no one would gravitate to in a game like that. I love it when players go against the grain.

[@Pax_Mayn3]

What do you mean, that was my go to. Him and dhalsim.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

@@Pax_Mayn3 you’re rare is what I mean.

[@TheAyanamiRei]

It also makes them so much harder to defeat, because there's so little experience fighting people who are actually GREAT at playing them. To say nothing of the lack of data online, compared to so many others frequently

[@THE_BASED_GOD]

​@@Pax_Mayn3its pretty obvious. In a game where the meta is essentially zoning/8 way airdashers backed by powerful assists picking a grappler point is hard mode.

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

I always liked to turn him to Mecha mode and use his throw assist into Silver Samurai's electric super.

[@aharris82]

Seeing Cable and Sentinel getting their asses whooped by Zangief in this game brings a Kool-Aid smile to my face XD

[@glacierwolf2155]

I love how Mugai specifically created his team around Zangief. The Silver Samurai and Jin assists forces the opponent to block a lot of the time, giving Zangief multiple opportunities to command grab his opponent. It's genius.

[@CosmicRPG]

Another chapter of why JWong hate Zangief, but this time is a showcase of the supreme Gief player in MVC2

[@jhsrt985]

I'm here for it every time😂😂❤❤

[@namelessmedia2847]

No matter what game he's in, it is ALWAYS fun to watch a good Zangief player!

[@Chadius]

Oh man, Silver Samurai has all sorts of weird interactions with his armor buffs. I never realized how strong his ice super is.

[@TheLongWind]

Right!? Borders on insane!!!

[@kirkcavenaugh758]

Was beautiful

[@Franco.Adrian.Tortora]

Mugai is a beast, this Gief is great to watch and learn, like Strago or evilmaxdark Gief. Also, mech gief is the only toon that can absorb the chun super (until i know, most broken inmunity one vs other supers) and still hit chun in the proces. Gief well playerd can be a nightmare for any team, that is OD. Shout out to Mugai, that men is really good and mad fun.

[@Edwinlicomedy]

It’s so crazy that there is still new tech to find in MVC2. This game is never boring

[@carlosaugusto9821]

To me, only if there is no tier whoring on both sides

[@supafliguy409]

CHEDDA GIEF!!

[@diabolico394]

The dude is extremely effective with this team. By far the best Zangief I’ve ever seen in MvC2. Relentless rush down is insane.

[@jdcooper9]

this is one of the more satisfying videos I've watched in a while. This guy is dope.

[@begcoins]

So glad you found him. Such a fun channel. I believe VDO has fought him.

[@RandomNPC15]

I feel like the non god tier characters in mvc2 have so much unexplored potential, even after all these years.

[@EpsilonKnight2]

I feel the same way. The fact that it's a team game means you can formulate teams and strategies that are much stronger than any individual character. Sure the tiers exist but they don't give you free wins.

[@MarvelInkaWarriors]

Cool performance of Mugai with Gief. It´s so fun to watch how he beat top players characters with him. Also Strago and Evilmaxdark are great players with Gief I watched similar sequence an strategies from them. That would be great a set a Gief Challenge with all of them.

[@davidhui2687]

Aight, I got crossed up by the "Fresh of Breath Air" @ 11:43

[@Chadius]

It's so fun to watch modern MvC2. Yes yes we know what the top tiers are, but everyone in mid tier has something going for them.

[@RonaldDregan]

Amazing video. Thank you Justin for the MvC2 video!!

[@Kaamos123]

A fresh of breath air.

[@Jugi_boy]

When I was a kid I would play mvc2 on a dreamcast with my neighbor. He would do that silver samurai ice tech, I thought it was mad busted. As I got older I figured this strategy wasn’t that good since I never saw anyone else use it. my friend was always good at finding strategies, I guess that’s why he’s a professional poker player now xD

[@TeamPaul17]

Honestly, Justin--this should be a series, with you highlighting individual characters, their best players, and optimal tech for each. What separates @mugai_baso's Zangief and Silver Samurai from other top-level players? What are they doing/not doing differently that gives these characters potential?

[@MadRavenOo]

8:55 that was really great combo to lvl3. thx so much for showing us this guy. he is truly a gem to watch for :)

[@foomp]

VDO is really fun to watch too with his Rogue/Colossus/Ken team. It's insane to see these players just destroy top tier teams with low/lower tier characters.

[@jniland8770]

I can't believe I never saw that blodia vulcan bait in all my time fighting good Jin players in the arcade! How are there still new tricks in MVC2?! Favorite vid I've seen in a while, really love the innovative MVC2 and deep commentary.

[@TacDonut]

That was insane! I love seeing crazy stuff I’ve never seen from this game years later. It just keeps giving! Hopefully it’ll get its well deserved modern release

[@atomicsamurai8967]

It’s rare I see someone that makes my mouth drop from seeing their style of play in a game. This dude has made me want to play mvc2 all over again

[@rustyshack155]

Been playing MvC2 since it came out in the Arcades, but just recently I've been seeing the most amazing and creative players so far since back then everyone just picked the same characters

[@DARKONE-E.I.C.O.S.A.T.]

Yo Justin, Blackheart assist is a FOLLOW AND HIT ANY HEIGHT on the opponent ASSIST ATTACK. VS stuck above the screen opponents or even completely off-screen opponents, Blackheart hits the opponent. Via end boss of mvc2 last boss off screen attack or positioning.

[@sakazakijin]

It's actually offensive how good he is with Zangief lol. A scary Zangief? In MvC2??? NANI?!?!?!?!?!

[@FlowerOfSloth]

I just have to apologize to you Justin. I thought I just stumbled on someone good at fighting games that made some pretty good content. I had no idea you are like the GOAT of EVO championships. Well done! Out here enjoying this guys content without having a clue lol oopsie.

[@tolontolon5538]

[@Yoloslides]

[@conaldeugenepeterson2147]

With all the action happening, I could have swore this was FighterZ. That dude has put some serious time into MvC2

[@werewolf74]

he called an assist, while being hit already inside a birthday party.... so all 3 of his characters were on screen. Thing with the grab assist is, if you are in block stun you cant block a thro assist. That repulsor blast can OTG and then you can use lightning off Silver Samurai, Omega Reds X or the hail storm by Storm.

[@billyrayvalentine5079]

Love seeing the MvC2 vids. That Gief was crazy good.

[@accordingtoabe2211]

This reminds me of a fun team I made with Felicia Morrigan and strange in mvc3. The mixups with Felicia on point and kitty helper, with eye of agamotto assist, and having Felicias command grab? Was low tier at the end of the day but fucked ALOT of people up, lol. Block eye, and either kittyhelper overhead or cat scratch grab was gonna get you. Plus a solid strange and Morrigan. Morrigan on bar assist with Felicia meter charge meant so much bar that kitty helper was almost ALWAYS out. Games are fun when you don't sweat/duplicate top tier 24/7. This gief is AWESOME. Lmao

[@MG_Gambino]

This was great. I'm never gonna complain about who plays what, high or low tier, but I appreciate this one. Some of these team games are under explored and I wish I could get my hands on them.

[@alwiitp2962]

I saw him a few days ago and his Zangief is crazy, very entertaining to watch. Would you have a match with him?

[@retrod8bit158]

man... that was quite inspiring to watch, it actually made me want to play MVC2 again

[@shinsmoke]

Zangief becomes Godgief in this player's hands.

[@kirkcavenaugh758]

That was top tier content. Would love to see a game with silver samurai and bishamon and kaijin no soki....

[@keenanvanaalst9865]

i used to play Zangief and war machine in mvc1 won 2 torunys with that team. and zangief in 2 was fun cause no one played him but me and no one knew how to play vs him lol. i only zangief in sf6 now just got it 3 weeks ago havent played a street fighter since super sf2.

[@Jardonius]

Don't let anyone lie to you about Gief in SF6. He has some dumbass setups if you're willing, so the love doesn't have to stop~

[@gluckhunterjr.9344]

Zangief is one of my favorite guys to use and he has an edge on the top tiers since they’re not used to his antics (love playing against sentinel). Love from my Russian mafia team: Zangief (ground assist on iron gief), Colossus, and Omega Red.

[@TeamPaul17]

11:44 "...a fresh of breath air?"

Great video Justin! Thanks for the advice on the monitor I was looking for a monitor so I’m gonna get one of these.

[@bunnybreaker]

Give it another 20 years and every character in MVC2 will be considered top tier. Props to this literal Zangief blender 👌🏽

I honestly discovered this guy about a month ago and my friends laughed at me that Sanford can be played competitively in mvc2. When I showed them Mugai for the first time use zangief, jaws dropped needless to say. Now everyone is trying their hand with Zangief and to no avail like Mugai.

Man this zangief player is really good he absolutely killed it

[@kyokusanagi7874]

The player he is playing with doesnt know how to play, but zangief is definitely fun to watch lol.

[@striderzer0]

Yeah for Gief eating a proton cannon and calling an assist, that was because if the proton cannon hits where there are two characters and one is further back, the character closer to ironman/warmachine will take the hits and act as a shield. normally its the assist getting hit and the point character being able to move, but with Mech Gief hyper armor he can call his assist because he is never in block stun. But it wouldnt work against Cable AHVB

[@TheHateradePress]

So wait hold up.... The samurai ice buff stacks?!
