Daigo is still amazing after all these years

[@fuzzygreentits]

Because unlike Infiltration, he practiced his combos in game and not on women

[@GenderNeutch]

Sheesh.. that heavy SPD is making short work of that Akuma health

[@having765]

0:24 glad to know even daigo falls into the frustration of defending against zangief and just starts mashing and he was gonna get burned out so fuck it

[@Dante_8183]

The step back @4:32, so subtle but won that match cuz of it. Those are some epic fights, Itazan is terrifying lol.

[@richr161]

Shimmy after landing a drive rush hit.

[@thecitizenchan]

I just realized Zangief is literally parrying stuff with his abs lol.

[@Paltheos]

11:11 Just *barely*. The scaling, man.

[@reezekun2999]

Itazan's Zangief is like Daigo's ultimate test of his Akuma training.

[@kuruptzZz]

Zangief's tailor is the real MVP

[@volgrom6628]

Insane neutrals in the 1st round from Itazan.

[@lioneln.952]

Zangief the monster😂! bone breaker, back breaker, neck breaker, head crusher, whoever's in front of him.

[@KingSpritzel]

Are there any shortcuts to do dp into level 3 for Akuma? Or do I just need to get good?

[@weeniehutjrs1491]

After you do the quarter circle for a dp input that input carries over so if you do a second quarter circle into kick you’ll do the level 3

[@having765]

Tbh its low-key something you can mash if you're having trouble. As soon as you feel you input the DP immediately chug them quarter circles. And luckily dp is punches and lvl3 is kicks so you can even just go ham on the motion and just press punch before kick

[@ewq789789]

8:56 why~?

[@ayaiken]

disrespect, he still won the round lol.

[@jedediahreaver210]

@@ayaiken NOPE ,that jump was a failred 360,then the lariat was a little far to connect.

[@ThePageofCups]

@@ayaiken Itazan wouldn't disrespect someone like Daigo in a way that could cost him the round. Daigo is dangerous regardless of how close to death he is.

[@ManWithTheMask13]

There's a corner combo that Zangief can do when he gets that kind of payoff from a Drive Impact. It involves jumping back and then Lariat-ing to catch the falling opponent because then you're able to go into air SPD (Borscht Dynamite). The timing can be a bit finicky, and evidently Itazan messed it up

[@Apollo3p]

@@ManWithTheMask13 This is correct. If you hit with only the final hit of regular lariat you can do this.

[@kingpharaoh84]

This replay feels like it's snake-eyes playing but with a different name!!!

[@wl2802]

Anyone can teach me how to anti-air? Using pp or ppp just got beaten everytime, I tried to watch replays but pros barely jump in.

[@XcrazyjapaX]

3:59 and 8:55 lmao
Daigo seens stopped his kicks spam and going a lot on fists engages.
Sad never see itazan doing tundra storm.

this game would be better if their outfits are torn when the fights getting serious

[@rimzaaah5892]

Same, I'm starting to get tired of this outfit, it's cool but it's used all the time

[@ThePageofCups]

Only if they get an anger damage boost from having their nice clothes ruined.

[@HadesHatredEdge]

@@rimzaaah5892 Someone did a mod that has Akuma remove his fur "collar" and the hand ropes. And it looks amazing. Gief sadly(?) got one of the best alt costumes in the game.
