I remember an anecdote I heard a while back from the SF4 days where someone asked Daigo if he did anything special to prepare for Snake Eyez. And he said, “It’s just Zangief”.
That funny af because geif is so frustrating if you can't keep him off you.i play Tekken alot when I run into king players. As soon as I notice they got good spacing my brain goes into be very very careful mode. Its like it says he about to grab you and you ain't gonna like it. I can stop it sometimes but not all the time
It's funny you mention Daigo's reactions, @punkdagod. A while back he made a video about his reflexes and getting older. He said that rather than simply succumbing to age and using it as an excuse, he would train his reflexes to "be like Punk"
I'm same age as Daigo. Playing younger players who are really good (that actually finish in top 3's in tournaments) they always talk about my sick reactions. What I do lack is match up knowledge because ever since early 2k I stopped playing fighting games competetivelly. Since I don't really learn characters to the fullest extend I can't keep up with people who do put in the hours. sf4 was doable because most of the cast played like their old counterparts. I've been ass in sf5, hardly ever played it. Mainly because it's too hard as a casual to get good. Why tf do I gotta learn 2 v skills and 2 v triggers and learn those of my opponents as well. SF6 while I don't really play it. I do like it a whole lot more than sf5. Mainly because the game mechanics are back to general systems, and not individual like in 5 with everyone having different triggers and skills. Worst part, even in the training they don't even tell you what your skill or trigger does, smh.
Im starting to think when people get complacent with something as inevitable as age-> The "Don't use it, lose it" effect happens even faster. But with that being said it's good to know if you work smart and hard at it you can greatly improve even while maturing. And at the worst/least maintain what you use to have. Kudos to Daigo and a couple of other ogs for staying up!
I tuned into Daigo's live stream earlier this week and was surprised he was playing Zangief. It's pretty impressive. I think he actually got inspiration coaching one of his teammates Hyakumantenbara Salome during the recent #KZHCUP event (right in the beginning of this video you can see him fight against someone who has a profile title from the event.)
Daigo is playing Zangief because Zangief is by far the strongest character in the game. This video explains why: th-cam.com/video/pkH0ixIc6Rc/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Gief gotta be the most hype character in SF6. Every grab, every super, the way the enemy character gets knocked on they ass from a fully charged heavy punch. No one does it like Gief. Daigo’s patient playstyle really suits Gief too, since he’s so read dependent at high levels.
@@cosmic5665you can’t disagree and then say “but you’re now allowed to tell me otherwise.” But Marisa has armor, charge moves, big combos. Pretty hype character. Zangief just doesn’t have the same range of options; that is settled fact.
It's scary because if you jump on Daigo you know he is going to anti-air you 99 times out of 100. But he's not ever jumping so you never get to anti-air him. He's locking you down more and more every time he takes a step forward and your only option is to zone somebody with infinite patience or approach a Gief on the ground
He got the 1st Legend rank with Ken.This Gief is his own reward for that. He enjoyed it very much for about 2 days. even took out his lever for SPD 2nd day.
Didn't know my man Punk was so entertaining to watch 😂 One of the GOATs analysing the gameplay of THE GOAT while being very respectful and flattering. Gotta love content like that.
Before SF6 was released, I remember a video where Daigo was in the street, he was asked which character he will play if SF6 was released. He answered by dancing the Russian dance of Zangief.
Imagine you've studied every detail of Daigo's Ryu and Ken. You face him in tournament and win the first game. Then he breaks out the Zangief and proceeds to wash you. 🤯
You should watch Daigo vs David Choi then, Choi was using O Sagat in SF2( Sagat really broken) and Daigo pulls out his Balrog that peeps didn’t know he had, completely Destroyed Choi
Would not complain at all to see more of these kinds of videos, also Daigo Gief is some scariness, what are you gonna do against a Gief that doesn't stop walking and blocking??
I think my fav thing i dont think daigo really does anything optima with gief, he kinda just seems like he goes "i think i can grab here" andhe just does
The micro walks and spacing into SPDs is definitely what you’d expect from Daigo. On top of making players think by just walking instead of them trying to check the drive rush. You might see that Geif list expand after this.
I was in his stream too haha! I thought it was normal 😂 I was like, ok Gief. Looking back now, it was pretty ridiculous now you mention it Punk hahahahahaha
really proving that SF6 is really really well balanced. The outliers (JP/Luke/Ken) might only need the gentlest of nerfs. Look at what people are doing with "trash" characters! Diago making gief look easy.
Hot take. Shoto's hold Daigo back. For reference go watch ST where he played boxer alot, or CVS2, etc. ANY time he used characters besides them basic ass shoto's he looked real good ngl.
Not sure why people consider Gief and characters like Manon low tier when they're command Grabbers. Also do you think the drive system got rid of low tier so every character is pretty much mid-tier on up because of the drive system?
After grabbing someone six times in a row with Ken, Daigo realized if it was Gief he’d only need 3 grabs
😂😂😂😂
this sounds like the kind of modern philosopher ass reasoning daigo would use to explain using gief
😭😭💀⚰️⚰️😆😆😂
The math just makes sense 🧐
this is why he is one of the greats
daigo really woke up and said " imma put people's head into cement"
Lol
Same. I was a Ken main since SF2, and then a few months ago, I suddenly decided to make Gief my main. Never looked back 😂
He said "imma play sf2 for a while now"🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣

He makes sure Gief never takes the bus.

Salome said Gief is cute and fun to play and, just like that, it opened Daigo's eyes to the truth.

#SMUG must be screaming with rage at this possibility!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
9:56 yo did he just walk up slowly and spd?! Daigo gief is hype
Daigo: Playing Zangief is like having a job before cars were invented...we walk to work!
And he does it in damn style. The man is like a fortress on shells lmao.. duago Gona win something with geif if he keeps it up lol
Playing zangief exactly how he's supposed to be played
"Who needs combo's when *I AM... ALMIGHTY* " -Daigo probably
Daigief: "Every move i make is a combo!"💪
IRON MUSCLE, will overcome all the problems of the world. Remember the sfiv announcer... ITS THE RED CYCLONE.
Gief is like gambling in SF6, hard reads all day, addictive AF.
90% of Zangief mains change characters before they win Evo
100% accuracy lol. Thats why I cant seem to abandon him. When the conditioning and reads are on point. Its bliss lol
My man Daigo out here playing honest neutral with a damn grappler in Neutral Skip Fighter 6. I respect it.
Neutral is overrated.
@@arthurgomes9248you’re just a scrub
Daigo saving that bar purely for ex spd, is a beautiful thing to watch 😂

@@nick-dq1hh I’m sorry bro but nothing hits harder then “Get ready…. URYAAAAAAA, *looks at both players, breaking the fourth wall* JACKHAMMER”
The fact he don’t have combos but pulling out wins shows how top tier his fundamentals are.
9:57 bro im wheezing that was hilarious
"He just believe in hard work and.... walkin"
Why is this so inspirational?
It's scary because if you jump on Daigo you know he is going to anti-air you 99 times out of 100. But he's not ever jumping so you never get to anti-air him.

0:14 seconds in and I just learned you can do jump headbutt into 360. Thank you Daigo.
Just remember its ex air spd, it doesn't work on regular air spd
It’s in combo trials
Bro it's literally in the in game character guide
Its one of the early combo trials
From UmeFang-UmeHonda in SFV to UmeGief in SF6
Daigo playing Zangief and Punk with the vibes. What a treat!
He got the 1st Legend rank with Ken.This Gief is his own reward for that.
He enjoyed it very much for about 2 days. even took out his lever for SPD 2nd day.
Didn't know my man Punk was so entertaining to watch 😂

Big Facts!
This video had me cracking up left and right. Great content dude lmao.
You know what a very scary Neutral Gief is? Daigo Gief no need for combos you’ll be dead before you know it 😂
Daigo neutral with gief gotta be like staring at the grim reaper 😂
Before SF6 was released, I remember a video where Daigo was in the street, he was asked which character he will play if SF6 was released. He answered by dancing the Russian dance of Zangief.
Perfect
yo honestly diagos gief is fucking menacing my man walks you down no matter what, scary as shit
Imagine you've studied every detail of Daigo's Ryu and Ken. You face him in tournament and win the first game. Then he breaks out the Zangief and proceeds to wash you. 🤯
You should watch Daigo vs David Choi then, Choi was using O Sagat in SF2( Sagat really broken) and Daigo pulls out his Balrog that peeps didn’t know he had, completely Destroyed Choi
I imagine you bumped your head, because you definitely didn't beat his Ryu or Ken to get to his Grief 😜🫣😝
"He's belive in the Hard Work ! ... and Walks ! " 🤣
As someone who has been playing Gief lately I really enjoyed this.
“He believes in hard work . . . and walking.” 🤣
Amazing video. Thank you, Punk 👏
Thanks Punk, for the vid. I loved seeing Daigo playing Gief. He did really well.
Very solid neutral, sad we didn't get to see the Daigief vs a JP.
I suppose he's just having fun and I get it. I have never been Gief player but in this game I'm playing him a lot. It's too much fun and hype.
Ive been playing so many characters in this game compared to the others, Zangief is way too fun in this one
Daigo is going to be nasty when he learns Grief. I think he's going to create a special way to play him
Would not complain at all to see more of these kinds of videos, also Daigo Gief is some scariness, what are you gonna do against a Gief that doesn't stop walking and blocking??
i need to see Daigo vs Snake Eyez Gief smackdown now...
s.eyes = master daigo = sub master yet😏
The walkup grab was crazy
That Guile was terrified at such a grounded Gief he just let him knock on his door and SPD him at the end.
Daigo channeling his Alex valle energy..
Like Alex did to bonchan
I gotta say, it's pretty funny seeing Daigo miss two SPDs in a row because it's so hard to do it on leverless. 😂
Punk Reacts are always the best! 😂 love you man!
this is like the final boss having armor and five phases
I think my fav thing i dont think daigo really does anything optima with gief, he kinda just seems like he goes "i think i can grab here" andhe just does
If Daigo learns the way of the Tundra Storm he'd be unstoppable
Cool to see players try different characters and strategies 👍
Dude how is Daigo's reactions still so fast at his age? His execution as well, he's playing classic Zangief with Modern controls speed of input.
このゲームのザンギエフは本当に使ってて爽快感がすごい。
That was dope! glad to see it
daigo says "WTF is scaling, i dont combo"
The micro walks and spacing into SPDs is definitely what you’d expect from Daigo. On top of making players think by just walking instead of them trying to check the drive rush. You might see that Geif list expand after this.
Everytime you ask "you got them Daigo?"... My man, this is the guy from evo moment 37. The BEAST got them ALL
Daigo has become A LOYAL FAN!
I like how daigos pocket day 1 gief is still high masters lol
Diago's reaction is like an MK AI.
Daigo was born before SF 2. Now go figure this guy is a Legend.
Damn….when an stoppable force plays with an unmovable object
Now we have to see a mirror match between Daigo and Zangief Bolado
Seeing daigo play gief is pretty fucking dope lol
honestly you don't need fancy stuff with him, its more about spacing , reactions and pokes
I came across a really good Geif, and I died within seconds😭😭😭
You're the man, Punk!
Daigo once said that what sets him apart from other players is his reads. With Zangief he has range and damage to rely on with those reads.
Punk if you played gem fighter you will see Zangief in this similar outfit in his story.
Daigo: I SPD ALL OF YOU!!!
Gief is just fun to play lol. Im definitely taking notes tho... Daigo looks scary on him
I was in his stream too haha! I thought it was normal 😂 I was like, ok Gief. Looking back now, it was pretty ridiculous now you mention it Punk hahahahahaha
found You
who elses stream u gon be on
sfo ghost
smug
punk
daigo
ohh shit u cant speak japanese
THIS IS PURE FUNDAMENTALS, AND STREET FIGHTER 2 NEUTRALS,HERE!! GO ,DAIGO!
The fact that he is playing sf2 is cool. Roots.
Daigo smokin fools with one hit combos.
Fantastic commentry!!
*Zan-Cheap* is back and stronger than ever.
really proving that SF6 is really really well balanced. The outliers (JP/Luke/Ken) might only need the gentlest of nerfs. Look at what people are doing with "trash" characters! Diago making gief look easy.
He sticks to the basics and wins.
He's got the patience to be a good grappler
From the creator of umeshoryu, introducing the umeSPD
Daigief is a threat and a menace
The Mario fit with gief is ⛽. 🔥
Daigo out here tryna get Gief nerfed lmao
Daigo not be as young as he used to be, but his reaction time? Yeah he still got it.
I can't wait for Hugo!!!
Hang up that Ken, the Gief era is amoung us
Diago Reaction be on Computer Level 8.
Daigo...why combo when I can simply SPD.
Gief's CA does MAD damage 😂
The power of his loyal fans ☝
When you spin, you get your win
Hot take. Shoto's hold Daigo back.
For reference go watch ST where he played boxer alot, or CVS2, etc. ANY time he used characters besides them basic ass shoto's he looked real good ngl.
Everyone forgetting Daigo used to main gief
Mafia gief standin on bidness.
9:57 legend Daigo 😅😅😅
Daigo's Zangief is pretty much like he practice the fundamentals. dont bother to learn combo.
I like it, keep the grind bro
He just walked up 😂😂😂
Daigo’s Zangief is tuff man 😮💨
Not sure why people consider Gief and characters like Manon low tier when they're command Grabbers. Also do you think the drive system got rid of low tier so every character is pretty much mid-tier on up because of the drive system?
Stand fierce and spd are all you need sometimes tho, Gief is a monster 💪
I was really surprised seeing in playing zangief during stream. It is not like he is always winning but really surprise he got till master.
Why do I always come across this guy's video when I'm looking for snoop dogg's tracks?
Those Gief reacts make it seem like he's playing Modern. 😅
