Ultra Street Fighter 4 Grand Final - Snake Eyez vs Infiltration @ First Attack PR 2015 Tournament

USF4 - Ultra Street Fighter 4 Grand Final - RB Snake Eyez (Zangief) vs Infiltration (Hugo) - First Attack PR 2015 Tournament
This was an extremely fun event at my native home of Puerto Rico! Snake Eyez and Infiltration both played great here and this tournament overall had lots of showmanship.
The Grappler on Grappler war between Zangief and Hugo is extremely exciting in this game, with both characters capable of huge momentum swings at any moment. Scoops and claps for days!

[@LiquidSoulfly]

+MrFoxtrotpro Well Gief does have a ton of bad matches. Gief is built to have to take a ton of damage before he can get in and do a ton of damage himself. And yes, Hugo is a rough match for Gief. His normals, anti airs, and specials are better.

[@RoninDays]

[@usagijojo]

@Salty 5000 I won't miss SFV, it's just too boring. Entertainment value is more important for a video game than balance. Even if SFVI is more boring than SFV, I'll still be pining for the days of SFIV hype. I won't be wishing for SFV to return.

[@sleazyfellow]

@Salty 5000 nah, but I just think people have forced themselves into 5. I don't see much hype behind it as this. Granted there's only 1 way to play it, up in someone's face. Whereas 4 had great defensive players offensive. I'd rate 4 pretty low on the totem pole anyways, ST and third strike & alpha 2 gold are the best, but for modern fighters 4 was excellent and 5 is one of my biggest regrets buying this gen. Can't wait to see what's next, it can only get better from this low.

[@skipfuego6339]

@@sleazyfellow your picks is only the best because they force you to make quicker decisions in terms of defense, high risk taking situations and making sacrifices. Part 4 is definitely right in the middle compared to SF1, Sf2 world warriors, SF3 new generations where sean was top tier was broken...I would say alpha 2, third strike, Super sf turbo grand master edition, sf4

[@joeresio]

@@sleazyfellow I definitely will agree about the forcing themselves to play SFV... especially the pros. It’s what they have to do. I don’t really think they enjoy the game like before.

Watching this again in 22 and it's evident why it's better... Capcom is like any business enterprise, they wanna make money...sfv was made so that it would be easier to play hence more players playing...sf4 had so much more depth and took more skill to play, which kinda excludes the population at large and Capcom wants that $$$ ... Look at Ed, a player literally made so the casual could play him...I hope they bring back depth like this but I doubt it... Ain't no money in it if only the pros can be successful at it... It's why you saw so many new faces pop up in pro tournaments... It attracted more players

[@BigSi-xw6wv]

Why did they f up Zangiefs move set in SF V? If Snake eyes can't beast with Zangiefs no one can.

[@krossirizarry1397]

I never would've thought of seeing two giants tossing around each other be so funny!

[@awkwardcultism]

Hugo was such a good character choice here. Snake Eyez has tons of experience in every Zangief matchup, especially the bad ones... but not Hugo, since nobody ever plays him. Those Meat Squashers just kept squishing him and he clearly had no response. If Snake Eyez had more Hugo experience he would have won... but if he did, Infiltration would have picked another character and probably beat him with that. Super fun match, congrats to both players. I miss this era of competitive Street Fighter.

[@shindean]

Infiltration is the absolute smartest SF4 in the world. Switching characters doesn't affect your timing and reflexes, and considering 90% of all pro SF players pick the same character, why not counter pick? I wish he had applied this a few EVO's back, still sad that he lost to Tokido's boring Akuma.

[@aricvinyard]

lol sounds just like what Mike and Floe said

[@shindean]

Aric Vinyard I didn't even see that video, it's just so damn obvious that infiltration knows that he'll have a better advantage in a 6/10 match up then playing his heart out in a 4/10 with akuma.

[@shindean]

***** I'm only willing to justify that racism because everyone on this side of the world always falls for this shit: "I'm the best Zangief player in the world, and I will win by becoming a better Zangief user than everyone else. You hear that Asia, i only use ZANGIEF!" They make counter picking too easy.

[@aricvinyard]

+shindean Just saying how international players get praised and get told what a godlike character pick ever since super turbo. Then when us Americans cans do it we are called scum bags for counter picking. People flipping out saying Hugo won a Tournament, but Infiltration literally played Decapre all the way to finals.

[@shindean]

Aric Vinyard Well that's our fault for making ourselves so damn free. I love seeing Snake eyez and Smug go to town on people, but when they get their asses handed to them continuously, it makes me look forward to part 5.

what a fantastic match

[@zukim1]

Infiltration is a all around player he knew that him other picks would have been beat because of zanigeif has to much health and a lot of option for akuma, decapre, or other picks he had.

[@shindean]

+Herbert Mennis It's so simple what Infiltration does, it makes me confused why more players just don't "Do it!" Players have this hang up that somehow picking a particular character makes them unique and so they have to stick to that character, ride or die. Infiltration doesn't give a fuck, he's not the best Hugo player in the world, but his reflexes are still there and he's winning more majors than the best Hugo player. What's the point of a game with over twenty fighters if you're only going to use one?

[@zukim1]

I can respect that. That is a really good point.

[@shindean]

Herbert Mennis I'm a huge Virtua Fighter fan, it's the game I've gone to tournies for. But in that game you have so many options that you can play the same character like four to five different ways. SF is fun as hell but doesn't have that individual depth, so you already know before hand that the Ryu with 50 wins is going to lose to the guy with a Ryu with 500 wins. I say do what Infiltration does and get out of your comfort zone.

[@brandonallison7782]

+shindean But the chance for one to take one character to their max.... It's not only challenging, but entertaining. I can appreciate Infiltration doing what he does; but I prefer people that try to take one to it's max.

[@shindean]

Brandon Allison Of course we appreciate it when a player focuses on one character, it proves how many options and possibilities there are for them. But guess what? Smug still isn't even close to a top 8 at EVO, you can't fight the power of counter pick. I bet you infiltration has only played hugo a few weeks, Snake Eyez has played Gief for years, look what happened, it's not okay to make yourself free.
