[@SWFBrickbox]

For Xian it was the most nerve wracking set he has ever played....For Snake eyez, it was Tuesday. Or whatever day it was :P

[@cynthiagipson8039]

Fir zangief it was Russian

[@ryancoombes1350]

These kind of matches are the reason why I watch tourneys

[@al_zera]

I miss the SF4 days. Since SFV I don't have any joy watching tournaments. This and SF6 sucks!

[@E1N9A8N0DA]

That Snake Eyez dude comes from another planet. Amazing. Simply, amazing !...

[@WickerMahn]

"Xian was gonna give it to him" DMXian

[@chara2038]

19:21 Responding a 7 year comment with a meme timestamp, that's a first for me XD

[@Aurkus23]

I always root for Snake Eyes, and I don't even like Zangief. Snake Eyes just makes him look so damn good!

[@EKEN55]

Good fight from both sides. Xian made a costly mistake picking Sagat. He should have stuck with his main.

[@BadAssBlackOverlord]

Truly... the best Zangief in the world. Cantona comes close but damn. Snake Eyez ftw.

[@BearTheGrudge]

Not only that but one of the best players in the world. I don't think anybody but Fuudo feels confident when they go into a match against Snake Eyez. The other Capcom cup finalists just shat themselves a little bit after today.

[@Fr0gSplashh]

BearTheGrudge Luffy is 2-0 all time against Snake Eyez. Bonchan if he is there has to feel good with his Sagat too.

[@kain208]

this is a counterpick against gen

[@Leomidas902]

Fr0gSplashh and Rufus, remember, ever have big problems with Justin Wong

[@a800562]

Fr0gSplashh Luffy beat him convincingly but he still has a chance against rose. Bonchan is probably the only true wall for snake eyez. But who knows how that would come out I would die to see that match.

[@Apemopo]

14:52 maybe he messed up YEAAAHHGHG

[@t4d0W]

Man, Snake Eyes will make everyone respectable top player in the world his demon. Very strong showing and a player that adapts. Great showing.

[@SethOPM]

Xian really should've honored the Gief vs Gen match-up. His counter-picks didn't work out any better.

[@maxsilva2676]

Zangief is just a side character I'm fond of but I think about maining him everytime I see Snake Eyes play, such a solid player, just like Xian.

[@HumbleHurricane]

21:26 these two smacks were funny af to me lol

[@donaldanderson6408]

I like fighting games where there's not to much jumping around going on you have to stand your ground in SF

[@Mike_416]

Lol you wouldn't like Smash Bros. That game is almost entirely in the air.

[@reboomer8369]

Depending on the match-up and/or characters SF can get jumpy though

[@e69alpha]

You'd love tekken

[@Poxell91]

The Beautiful Bay theme just makes this even more awesome.

[@Adrianmartinyoutube]

Nice matchups! Glad to watch at Snake and Xian playing a final.

[@hmrhuang]

For a guy who won EVO with Gen, I'm still SHOCKED as to why Xian did not stick with his character!!!!!

[@andresxcore1]

because Gen is a footsie character, which means he needs to put him at risk of being close to Zangief, and yeah, you don't want that.

[@kombatjenning]

Guys this matchup just goes against xian entirely because of his playstyle. Very range controlled, calculated, but gief blows all that up with a properly positioned SPD. Don't get me wrong, Snake Eyez played like a man on a mission, but Gen footsies have been neutralized, you saw how Snake Eyez blew up Poison in that stead, and too much familiarity with the Sagat matchup, and prior to this matchup aside from the experience in WNF, Snake Eyez had a set earlier in the tourney against Sanford Kelly, who I feel is 3rd best Sagat in the world. The whole Zangief matchup overall is a demon Xian is going to have to conquer by November's end because Dreamhack Winter is the last chance for Points and guaranteed Capcom Cup qualification, in general.

[@colonelslanders3955]

Damn, after the first 2 sets, it was free.

[@thafutureonline619]

I take it SPD stands for spinning pile driver?

[@JinSimply]

I'm glad for chars like Zangief and El Fuerte are winning tornies.

[@Tesomanjarvi]

Snake Eyez you beast! Keep protecting those skies, as always! ;)

[@richardrdenisii]

when's mahvel?

[@hmrhuang]

Could tell where this was going after the 2nd fight in the first set.....

[@tisisonlytemporary]

if xian didn't have a character crisis, i think he could've gotten a better chance...

[@Nerevaar]

If Gen wouldn't suck you mean

[@ndoubleu04]

Gen DOESNT suck though. He is actually viable and feared in quite a few matchups

[@Vallin87]

ndoubleu04 If having like 35 bad matchups means the character doesn't suck, then you're right. Gen is trash right now.. It's really frustrating to play gen atm against opponents that know how to deal with him. Because you're fighting an uphill battle against most of the cast.

[@Yourimaru]

dont think xian has a real character crisis hes fairly sold on gen. its more like he didnt know what to do against snake eyez at all

[@Nerevaar]

More like Gen has no options against gief, show me one set where a good gen is matched against a good zangief where gen wins

[@colinadunn3774]

How do you change the costume

[@anjoLas]

i just passed here to remind the good old days

[@destroyer8000]

Wow, I had forgotten how serious Xian's eyebrows were. I mean damn. Bushier-brow-sensei.

[@sack943]

Evo run back and snake eyes takes it again Xian hates this match up that was a great match

[@iONLYuseMETA]

Snake Eyez makes me proud to use a fight pad and not have to worry about spending over $100 on a fight stick.

[@Nerevaar]

He plays gief though, so no plinking or pianoing

[@99superjesus]

Nerevar lolz plinking

[@AeolusMN]

99superjesus lolz what? you would be dumb not to doubletap or plink, no reason not to do it.

[@AeolusMN]

***** you can definately play without, but again, why, just plink and make your success rate of hitting a link 100%. Doing 1 frame links without plinking...you WILL drop them, no matter how much you practice them.

[@a800562]

AeolusMN That's a true statement. Without plinking, it's just not possible for a human to hit 1 frame links without dropping them once in a while.

[@FenrirDuskwolf]

Best Zangief in the world!

[@TheBoxBox920]

Why Daigo didnt play

[@randhykaasmara]

i always confuse if i play vs Zangief, because we always try to close enough to our enemy, but with Zangief we can't do that.

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Snake eyes is utterly nasty with it. In every sense of the word. This was a slaughter

[@Apemopo]

it's so craayzaaah. Xian was such a freak-ass great SF4 player but at 13:15 you can see pretty dang clearly, that this guy who came to Grand Finals from the winner's side is utterly and completely _screwed._ Shout-outs to Snake Eyez for being another freak-ass great SF4 player, these truly were the Days of Thunder.

[@blackjet2000]

Damn SnakeEyez, you damn lovely beast

[@captainrueben4841]

I always feel bad whenever Xian loses for some reason. >.

[@MarquoVitali]

what controller does Snake Eyes use? its a six button joystiq(pad)

[@8Pabs8]

***** Good to see you here lol!

[@kilikjb]

***** dood, I seriously just bursted out laughing in public while reading this.but I think that's the controller problem is that its super limited since its a prototype sponsored by madcatz.lol P.S. You sir made my day with that comment.

[@codylee9999]

***** the russian skies were protected.... #snakeeyezputshisteamonhisback

[@johangp1990]

***** holy shit...niiice one 😂😂😂

[@EKEN55]

Oh yeah, and SnakeEyes is AWESOME !!!!

[@Fro9bone]

Xian needs to shave that moustache off

[@irvinmorales1409]

Xian got taken to Suplex City here....

[@codylee9999]

saw this match live and it was GATLIKE

[@Organous]

I know it doesn't mean anything, but I'm still proud for discovering Zangief's U2 combo. As I recall, there were 11 characters, generally all big guys. Though Abel's really weird about it. I forget if it needed a level 2 or 3 focus, but I know it was just one of them for some strange reason. It's a largely useless combo, anyway. The Ultra is weak by itself. Factor in damage scaling, and it's not much better than just using an SPD. Might as well keep the option to stop uppercuts and backdashes.

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

At 14:48, why is it a reversal and not a counter hit?

[@pdcsky]

Probably execution error. Tiger shot instead of uppercut

[@fohstick]

who did xian play before gen?

[@allanwhite6189]

+fohstick a Dhalsim

[@reptilexcq2]

Zangief's character is overpowered. He did the suplex and you drain a lot of energy.

[@ant0ine2]

***** Characters have different stats. Grappler characters like Zangief, Hugo etc. has high attack and HP because they do not have much cross up and fireballs. They are also very slow and suplex and piledrivers are hard to execute.

[@freezerzero]

xian's mustache struggle is real

[@Jetanium]

22:22 Oh and it feels like Snake’s coming. IT FEELS LIKE HE’S COMING.

[@Kingqubaent]

Xian used 2 different characters other than his main.... just to run back to his main & lose! Talking about running in circles! Big congrats to Snake Eyez!

[@hmrhuang]

Never seen an Evo champ get OWNED as much psychologically as here. Snake just DESTROYED Xian's confidence and fighting spirit! I mean, SAGAT???!!!!🤨🤨🤨 C'MON MAN!!!😂😂😂😂

[@michaelsong5555]

I love to see Zang win.

[@hori83]

SnakeEyez the fan favorite 💪🏿

[@dgw4049]

15:36 ... AAA

[@demosangst3732]

This is humilliant :'( i

[@thumpup899]

Hardly see Xian jump

[@jojokob5182]

Dat creep 'stache doe

[@JDPetersonFLA]

Xian should have kept playing gen lol

[@HasanAlmancie]

Dat Triple (A) yo 15:36

[@bestboutgaming3212]

This can't be an easy match up for Gen

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

Once the snake set his eyes on the prey thats it the end Xian choose wrong character throw away his rounds Cammy is better than worthless poison,sagat.

[@mudbutt234]

Gen's face when he gets SPD'd lol

[@stanmarsh7038]

Lol

[@pretzels713]

Snake Eyez was Xians demon in USF4

[@Sheffdawg2305]

yes he was. Xian just couldn't beat him

[@robgeorge4581]

so true. Even after Xian learns Sagat (specifically for Zangief), he still gets his ass handed to him.

[@marceloencina8935]

ryu vs gen

[@taintedtechnique]

Is snake eyez sponsored?

[@kuroshinko427]

Twitch flew him to the tourney.

[@armaneyperdue1684]

Nigga i thought that was thanos

[@Snarkyat2am]

Yikes, rough match.

[@mikelong2756]

Love both these guys, but the beginning Is like watching paint dry I have to be out lol. Maybe next time

[@kuroshinko427]

Unless Xian fixes it, Snake Eyez will be his absolute worst match up.

[@PomadaGaming]

God gee. Huh

[@MrFoxtrotpro]

man snake eyez hype disappear after capcom cup and canada cup master

[@obeytheBUG]

He got 2nd at apex and 1st at winter brawl so no

[@MrFoxtrotpro]

Star Fox Lose to NuckleDu 3 times in a tournament after cap cup ex APEX the only players he can beat this days is east coast players and wnf players

[@obeytheBUG]

MrFoxtrotpro is that why he bodied luffy and xian and went to the last game last round against the best yun in the world Kazunoko at the master series? Have you seen how hard it is to get in on guile, i wanna see you try and beat the best guile in the U.S with gief.

[@JollyJumper777]

Wins in Africa, faith?

[@greenbubba97]

The one person who disliked this video was probably a Zangief hater. lol

[@PomadaGaming]

8:44 lmfao💀. Alright then

[@PomadaGaming]

10:53 golly 12:07 I don’t know if he already lost this third game. But it certainly feels like it,the sagat gimmick is died down after that win it feels like 16:38 shiee 18:12 yep 20:26 right 21:02 nice 21:25 right

[@savagegecko4575]

Xian lost because he didn't blink enough...

[@jsn1547]

Great job Snake eyes. I can't stand Zangief

[@drcandypantsod7172]

18:00 to 18:32 omg XD

[@nvs_ibmhawk8978]

giant snakeeyez

[@sdbo7102]

huh? TFC??? what do they win? a 12 piece bucket of chicken? with coleslaw and mash potatoes?

[@mustafamu1981]

Zangif is the most character I hate in this game

[@FrankTank47]

Here in 2020 cuz sf V sucks

[@cohnnyrage5308]

hate Zangief players by default

[@williamlopez4846]

Xian, PR Rog, and Ricky Ortiz are washed up like Oscar vs Mayweather. Pls retire

[@blvk3]

***** and very cocky, i know a friend who goes to this local arcade told me that, he only shakes hands when he wins btw

[@Fr0gSplashh]

How is Xian washed up ? Dude keeps on winning and reaching grand finals everywhere. He lost to Snake Eyez which is really nothing to be ashamed about.

[@EmperorBeef]

Right, 2nd Place = washed up. Right right.

[@AeolusMN]

blvk3 rumour mongering

[@obeytheBUG]

***** you actually believe this guy? Lol Xian is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, just watch his interviews and stuff.
