Leffen winning with happy chaos was a good thing. Everyone knows it’s broken, he knows it’s broken, his previous character lost to HC free, so might as well switch to the character and prove a point. Now HC should get a nerf, one that’s long overdue.
I was all like "Ah, classic Snake Eyes. CapCom players just be saying ANYTHING. I'd like to see him back up those words." I fucking LOST IT when it cut to him winning a Strive major.
Honestly I'm not sure if you were there back in the day, but he is unironically worse than LTG, and has done all the shit that LTG has done but worse, and he hasn't changed at all, just gotten better at hiding that part of himself and creating plausible deniability to fool people
@@PompousPoggs Because in the Smash community, as long as you are good pressing buttons and share the same opinion as the elite, you can get away with being a piece of shit
@@SamX.Oit was an indefinite ban, that after 2 or 3 years, turned into a permanent ban, because apart of that ban was that he wasn’t allowed to talk about the ban
It is kinda weird, though, because at the point that Snake Eyez won that tournament, he had one of the highest number of hours played in Strive in terms of online level. So yes, I suppose it's so easy to win in these games after you've put more time into them than most other people have. 🤔
@DariusRivers For what some feel like is a mountain to climb others may feel like a walk in the park. True Snake Eyez put alot more time but Leffen got to the lvl to be in the same ring as him. A skill floor is the same regardless of how long it takes someone to get there, if we're at similar levels than it can go other way. The better man of that set was SE
I love how everyone roasting him look like normal people And there's Leffen who looks like he survived a couple years inside a frozen mountain eating microwave pizza
More like anti-hero or rival character in anime. But he does sort of bring that upon himself, both in his personality and playing it up by embracing titles like "Godslayer" in Melee (before two of the gods started to retire due to health issues and another just retired).@@Unchainedful
2:10 I completely agree with this. Guile and Zangief are the two major walls in Street Fighter that send most casual or new players packing. Zangief personally took me forever to figure out because he seemed so unstoppable once he got in range.
@waxcutter9813 by taking your time with him and parrying each boom as you get closer. Never play aggressively against a charge character like Guile. Baiting out a Flash kick is also a good counter to him. If he is standing, he can't flash kick. If he is walking forward, he can't sonic boom.
My best tip for beating zoners is to never get frustrated , they are trying to keep u frustrated so u either rush in and try to force an exchange and get punished, or u get beaten back with spam and accept ur fate of getting locked down and chipped to death. U have to be completely zen and play neutral till they get bored, practice ur combo confirms from stray hits and optimise ur burst options. Basicly u either want to develop neutral / defence so strong u weave in and out of their bullet hell while walking them down ,and they end up getting frustrated or stressed., or u develop an extremely strong pressure set up. Specifically against Ken’s fireball dp trap, neutral jump is ur friend, bait the uppercuts but be aware of another light dp on recovery , learn to react to the speed of every fire ball thrown , just because the last 8 are slow dosnt mean 9 won’t be fast.variations in fireball speed is how u mix up and condition the person trying to get in .
@@ParisPKbest advice is play the slow game because someone is going to get impatient eventually. If you control the pace of the game and just stay patient theyll try to get aggressive. Im a Gief main lol zoners are the least of my worries. The rushdown characters are the scariest especially when mfs jump like maniacs.
Its amazing to see the fgc dog on Leffen. He has done so much shit to the smash community who takes him in with a warm hug whenever he releases a twitlonger that is actually refreshing to see people with common sense talkin bout him
This video is making it look like Snake Eyez doesn't play Strive. Before the release of SF6, he was playing Strive all the time. It wasn't as if he just picked up the game to prove a point.
It's a good thing that Leffen dropped Tekken when he was playing Kazumi because it just shows that you can't shortcut your way to success in that game, and apparently here too in this instance of SF6
@MikoYotsuya292 yeah he did, competition is nowhere near as stiff as sf or tekken, and happy chaos is one of the most broken characters in any fighting game
@@MikoYotsuya292bro strive is a fuckin kusoge, what are u smokin? the only reason its in the main evo lineup is bc its the best selling anime fighter that isnt dbfz. it got offset by melty blood, which is less popular but its actually balanced and fun to watch.
I don’t mind dunking on Leffen when he’s being a prick - which to be fair is often - but damn when when he’s just existing. Especially the comments about his looks. Out of pocket imo.
I feel kinda bad for the GG community. Used to be known as one of the most high skill fighting game series and now people from other games are coming into strive and cleaning house
To be fair to Luffen, he was grinding out GGST and attending tournaments since day one (including EVO 2021 Online victory as Chipp), so he's not exactly an "outsider" to GG scene. I don't like the dude, but his dedication to the game is genuine.
@@enzogonzalez7140 anime fighters like strive have rarely ever been actually difficult, they've always had outsiders come in and smoke the easier subgenre
0:21 "Mash 6P with Happy Chaos." I also find it funny that when "Pro" players see zoning and other shit like that, they justify it and tell the person dealing with it that theyre the problem and need to find a way around it, but when its leffen doing it, they ridicule him for it.
Like this is funny but don't forget leffen conspired to lie about another smash player and ruined the dude's life for a time. Received no consequences.
My favorite part of the reaction to Leffen's EVO win this year is that you can't even fully blame it on him playing HC because people were way more excited about Umisho winning the prior year.
I was really happy when snake eyes came out to play strive in texas showdown. I love seeing players from other games come and do well, especially with underused characters. Snake eyes especially is super sick, seeing him pop out of nowhere in Super turbo HD remix was awesome. It's trash though, that him doing well is used as a bludgeon against the game. It couldn't be because of matchup unfamiliarity, it's not because snake eyes is a fucking GOD, no, it's that Street fighter is just so much more skillful then strive. What a cancer take.
Yeah so much of the stuff in this video is pretty disrespectful towards strive, I thought we left all of this street fighter supremacy stuff back in sf4
i wanna see some streetfighter players hop on tekken 7 and do some first to 10s or something lol this video is probably the worst of it partially because leffen is the canon fodder but the vibe im getting is that street fighter players think they have some secret knowledge thats hidden behind playing street fighter for 10+ years XD
Not only did this mother fucker try to pick up Tekken, but he got a BUNCH of help. I mean a LOT. Then after getting whooped while cheesing his way with Zafina, this mother fucker betrayed the people who helped him. After, they came in and whooped his ass for free and he never went back. That's why he plays STRIVE. Cause the game is designed for creeps like him that never wanted to learn a series that no longer even remotely plays like how it use to be.
So I really don't like Leffen. I think he, as an individual, does not deserve respect. However, I do find some of this to be gatekeepy. People can play any and every fighting game and work towards success in all of them. Sure, gg and sf dont have a lot of overlap at the highest level. And sure, they are objectively very different. I'd even be willing to admit sf6 has more polish, especially at launch, then ggst. However, I do not think that makes a sf player better than a gg player.
Lies... 1:13 Snake had been playing and planning to compete using Potemkin at Texas Showdown for months, at least. He also said he was done with Strive after Texas Showdown a month before it happened. (He realized arcs systems or whatever intentionally made it so that when you press forward and back too fast, you get back dash. He went through all the games they touched and found that) Not a whim. He was playing Strive every stream in that time. Not a whim.
Why are these guys bashing him for playing cheap shit, 90% of the pros play the cheap shit. It's also foolish to bash this guy by assuming he can't adapt to the street fighter style of play. There's a good chance he can. I mean he was good at DBFZ and Strive, 2 games that were no where similar to Smash. What a bunch of crap.
@@exorder2005 people saying that new players can't adapt isn't new to SF to be fair, but it's just that SF is a franchise with a LOT more legacy players with a big following that it's not surprising a lot of loud toxic voices will talk shit on newcomers. Yeah, it's completely unfounded, and if Leffen enjoys SF6 I hope he gets to shut them up, but it's not a unique problem to SF
I think the narrative of saying any street fighter player can easily win at GGST or that it is a higher skill game just because Snake Eyes did it dumb. He's one of the greatest players in the world and undeniably the best grappler specialist in the entire world playing a character that has alot more transferable skill into Strive with Potemkin. It's probably true that street fighter being a much larger game for an extremely long time the competition in it has grown the strongest players in probably any other fighting game. but alot of guilty gear players are better at the skills present in guilty gear like resource management, game knowledge, and risk/reward management than being good at reactions or footsies would. Maybe if punk got into guiltygear he'd destroy everyone, he is insanely good. but you don't see IDOM making alot of results in guilty gear.
As much as I hate leffen, this comment is no bueno: 1. People from other games trying your game is a good thing, gatekeeping is weird as hell 2. Leffen was pretty decent at Fighter Z too 3. Even in GG, he's playing the same game as everyone else. It's not his fault the game is balanced like shit There's plenty to dunk on leffen about, but idk about this
I play GG Strive and the pros there aren't pro good compared to fighting games like SF, Tekken, KOF etc. It's just that there are barely any good players who take those games seriously. That's the case for most anime games. JimmyJTran who's a Tekken player just casually registered for UNIST at Evo and made top 3, and he didn't even mean to do that lol.
Of course man, it’s real hard to compete in a melee tournament when you aren’t used to the smell of a venue full of autistic pedophiles who haven’t showered in years.
I love how pure and straight-forward his take on competition is. It's in direct contradiction with everything else that constitutes who and what he is as a man and professional fighting game player. A truly fascinating dichotomy.
I think it has less to do with the competition and more to do with the skill set being different. leffen is a lab monster who can run his game plan better than anyone, but he can't play footsies. the fact that he leaves a game and calls it trash if he isn't godlike right away doesn't help, this is a guy who dropped cammy right away bc people were initially calling her mid and she wasn't degenerate enough. but I'd say it was a smarter decision to stick with strive and win evo than be mid juri player #17377
@@QGfk1 im sorry man but you can’t tell me leffen can’t play footsies when I watched him play melee for years. They’re different games and the neutral is different. He preforms better than 99% of players that’s why he’s an Evo champ for multiple games. Just because he’s not good at street fighter doesn’t warrant this amount of hate. If you don’t like the characters he plays that’s fine but why attack his skin care?
Some of these comments are just hate on the fighting games he plays which is just pure elitism I understand y’all haters think street fighter is the best fighting game but it don’t take away from games like DBZ teller and guilty gear just because you can’t deal with 6P.
@@Chocolatebeeefleffen devotes alot of time to his games. those bring melee and strive. hes now won majors and huge tourneys for both or got 2nd consistently. do ppl rlly think he cant get atleast top 16 consistently in sf6 if he had the same time to to delve into it? its weird. he may not be a proven “goat adapter at fgs” like punk or sonic, but hes closer to that than most the niggas talkin in the video if i had to assume
@@trashiemoviestarnah he not getting top 16 consistently for at least 2-3 years. He didn't even need a year to win a evo in strive. Completely different competition
Dude good compilation vid, but you clearly have a heavy bias against games that aren't SF lmao. "For context", SnakeEyez did not enter TexasShowdown to "prove a point". He had been grinding GGST since it had released, streaming for hours each day, and didn't initially compete due to the pandemic. Texas Showdown is also NOT a major, and the tournament he won had 239 registrants for GGST. Like, it's good and all to show people making fun of Leffen, but don't talk shit to other communities, especially when you're deadass wrong.
I meant that i included that clip of him winning texas showdown with pot in this video to prove his point that he made at 1:03 . Not the he entered the tourney to prove a point. Had i feeling that sentence might get misunderstood. As far is my bias goes, yes when it comes to 2D fighters i do see SF as more skillfull than many others.
@@Hxnsson I fail to see how that proves any point when SnakeEyes had been grinding GGST more than most players and entered a tournament with less than 300 entrants...
@@Hxnsson I hear a lot of "sf is more skillful" and yet I don't see a single one of you making it out of bronze 3 on slippi. it's free and you can download it and get completely bodied right now. put up or shut up, leffen ran his mouth but he backed it up by winning evo, I don't see a single one of you making it out of round 1 pools in melee, never have seen it in 20 years
we understand that melee takes skill but when will you mfs learn that the only ppl who cares about melee is yall💀 the man literally said tekken is too hard for him while playing one of the most basic characters bye😂 growing up playing smash obviously doesnt translate to fgc and vice versa🤷🏽♂️ should also notice how the other fighters he's won tournies for are extremely simple in comparison to other games🤦🏽
You really really did your best to edit Snake out of context to make him sound like a hater when he was actually dissaproving of people booing him off the stage. On the acne thing, yeah he did that, but he clowns on people all the time, even Punk.
There's is no effort on my part to make Snake seem like a hater. He was mostly reading messages in chat, which i tried to convey by writing "CHAT:" followed by whatever they said like at 5:57 so that viewers know it wasn't snake himself that said it. He definitely didn't disagree with their messages most of the time, which is fine, he doesn't dislike leffen for no reason. Leffen has a very toxic history and has tried to discredit snakes wins in the past. Even if snake was a hater it would be kinda justified, but yeah, he's not.
Anyone want to elaborate on Leffen "toxic" history? Because so far I only get vague answers about him throwing groomer allegations against another Smash Bros player and getting Zero (who is confirmed to be a groomer) to almost take his existence away from himself unalive himself m outside of that it's also just "he is toxic, he is mean etc etc" ._.
I will say It definitely does feel like certain scenes have WAY more competitive players that makes winning big tournaments much more of a real challenge and a bigger achievement compared to others. I think its also a big reason why it took so long for someone like even Sonic Fox to really start getting actual respect because he had to play other games that aren't just NRS games before people actually started to see him as a genuinely a great player. In a lot of ways if you aren't in either Street Fighter, Tekken, or Melee then you're almost a second rate citizen even if you're great at what you do
I think this is because… most of the strive playerbase is newer, and hasn’t been playing fg’s for as long. You don’t really see those OLD school GG players playing strive. If they were, the skill gap might have been smaller.
the fuck do you mean? no one was applauding his victories in melee because that shit wasn’t earned. all the real competition, that is to say the melee gods, moved on to other shit like raising families. leffen has always been lame
@@logandunlap9156 leffen beat every single one of the gods, and every player he played in his later years was better than the gods, and he still generally does well on his sparse attendance don't speak about things you don't even know man. which of the gods retired while leffen was at his peak? PPMD? much worse player than leffen
0:38 this statement ironically applies to Sonic fox someone who dominates game that are not that competitively large but once goes into game like sf and tekken he struggles, but people still call him “THE” goat for some reason like the only games he really was great at that had a large competitive scene was dbfz, but games like skull girls and mk are much more smaller
Dude Sonic fox did really well at EVO it’s not even comparable. Leffen on the other hand would be lucky to even make it out of pools. He was failing basic zoning fundamentals.
It’s not “for some reason” he plays at a competitive level every game he plays. Daigo is called the beast but looses a lot , does that diminish the skills he has demonstrated ?
I don't think Sonic is the goat, but I also don't think its fair to compare them. Sonic finished top 20 at sf6 evo. While Sonic is definitely another "big fish in a small pond" player, hes nowhere near as bad as Leffen is.
Leffen sucks ass, and you can rag on his appearance (as you should) all you want, but evidently your attempt at spelling approaching is about as solid as leffen vs punk in a FT10
That wasn't the point of including that clip, the point was, Leffen couldn't even win a Texas showdown level event in SF6, at least snake could get a small W in Strive. With Pot no less. Leffen went to headstomper 2023 for SF6, Swedish tournament, 200 player bracket, no SF player of note attended, tierwhored with Juri Han, and STILL got washed.
@@Hxnsson It wasn't very clear in the video and the way it was edited tbh, Melee is just much of a timesink as SF6 so it makes sense leffen would not have results there, it also felt that you wanted to display that there's a sentiment among the FGC that games that are not SF6 and Tekken are just inherently easier or less competitive, which is harmful towards those games and unfair towards anime fighters like strive, remember that on its day during the pandemic strive carried the FGC while sf5 and tekken were both a netcode and release cycle nightmare.
Snake Eyez sounds like a total hater but he's properly intuited that Leffen is indeed kind of a scumbag. He's probably not even aware of how Leffen has been saying shit that's out-of-pocket and making himself a pariah in the Smash scene for ages. idk if his behavior has been bad recently, but I know he's been considered controversial since like the pre-Smash 4 years.
leffen deserves it though, he might possibly have the most devoted fans for absolutely no reason if you spend 10 min checking the shit he's done. trash person deserves getting trashed. also a happy chaos player on top of it.
It's a little strange cause sajam dunked on snake eyez for saying dumb shit like SF players are so much better than players in any other fighting games during the sf4. Looks like he is regurgitating the same shit from 10 years ago 😞
So people are saying that Leffen. Somebody that has been playing other games isn’t that good in street fighter, the game he plays the least when competing with people that play that shut full time.
@@szymonmirek6389 I doubt that he "grinded" that much considering he grinds GG strive....ya know because he's a GG strive top player so I still agree with the OP. If he actually grinded SF6 like Riddles then I think he'd do alot better. I think trying to downplay his skill at this point is getting silly right brother. He's a 2 time Evo GG Strive champion and a 3rd place runner up, he did well in DBZ fighters before he dropped it. It's time to stop with downplaying his skill, you can hate him all you want, dude is extremely cringe and annoying at times but his skill in fighting games is commendable.

I used to hate Leffen back when he was playing melee. He deserves every ounce of criticism he’s ever gotten and will get.
Agreed. It's relieving to hear the fgc criticize him. I don't understand why there were not more Melee players giving him shit.
I heard someone once defend his behavior by saying "There has to be a villain in everything" that's his entire personality, a villain. A piece of crap
Honestly I'm not sure if you were there back in the day, but he is unironically worse than LTG, and has done all the shit that LTG has done but worse, and he hasn't changed at all, just gotten better at hiding that part of himself and creating plausible deniability to fool people

Kudos to Snake Eyes for backing it up.
It is kinda weird, though, because at the point that Snake Eyez won that tournament, he had one of the highest number of hours played in Strive in terms of online level. So yes, I suppose it's so easy to win in these games after you've put more time into them than most other people have. 🤔

@DariusRivers For what some feel like is a mountain to climb others may feel like a walk in the park. True Snake Eyez put alot more time but Leffen got to the lvl to be in the same ring as him. A skill floor is the same regardless of how long it takes someone to get there, if we're at similar levels than it can go other way. The better man of that set was SE

And there's Leffen who looks like he survived a couple years inside a frozen mountain eating microwave pizza
Funnily enough, a lot of people just says he looks like a typical anime protagonist lol.

More like anti-hero or rival character in anime. But he does sort of bring that upon himself, both in his personality and playing it up by embracing titles like "Godslayer" in Melee (before two of the gods started to retire due to health issues and another just retired).@@Unchainedful

2:10 I completely agree with this. Guile and Zangief are the two major walls in Street Fighter that send most casual or new players packing. Zangief personally took me forever to figure out because he seemed so unstoppable once he got in range.
@waxcutter9813 by taking your time with him and parrying each boom as you get closer. Never play aggressively against a charge character like Guile. Baiting out a Flash kick is also a good counter to him. If he is standing, he can't flash kick. If he is walking forward, he can't sonic boom.
Any tips against a zoner? I’m new to street fighter and I’m having the time of my life but Ken was spamming fireballs and uppercuts
My best tip for beating zoners is to never get frustrated , they are trying to keep u frustrated so u either rush in and try to force an exchange and get punished, or u get beaten back with spam and accept ur fate of getting locked down and chipped to death. U have to be completely zen and play neutral till they get bored, practice ur combo confirms from stray hits and optimise ur burst options. Basicly u either want to develop neutral / defence so strong u weave in and out of their bullet hell while walking them down ,and they end up getting frustrated or stressed., or u develop an extremely strong pressure set up. Specifically against Ken’s fireball dp trap, neutral jump is ur friend, bait the uppercuts but be aware of another light dp on recovery , learn to react to the speed of every fire ball thrown , just because the last 8 are slow dosnt mean 9 won’t be fast.variations in fireball speed is how u mix up and condition the person trying to get in .
@@ParisPKbest advice is play the slow game because someone is going to get impatient eventually. If you control the pace of the game and just stay patient theyll try to get aggressive. Im a Gief main lol zoners are the least of my worries. The rushdown characters are the scariest especially when mfs jump like maniacs.
Its amazing to see the fgc dog on Leffen. He has done so much shit to the smash community who takes him in with a warm hug whenever he releases a twitlonger that is actually refreshing to see people with common sense talkin bout him

This video is making it look like Snake Eyez doesn't play Strive. Before the release of SF6, he was playing Strive all the time. It wasn't as if he just picked up the game to prove a point.
It's a good thing that Leffen dropped Tekken when he was playing Kazumi because it just shows that you can't shortcut your way to success in that game, and apparently here too in this instance of SF6
True. Tekken and SF are way too stacked with hungry and talented players.

To be fair to Luffen, he was grinding out GGST and attending tournaments since day one (including EVO 2021 Online victory as Chipp), so he's not exactly an "outsider" to GG scene. I don't like the dude, but his dedication to the game is genuine.

I was really happy when snake eyes came out to play strive in texas showdown. I love seeing players from other games come and do well, especially with underused characters. Snake eyes especially is super sick, seeing him pop out of nowhere in Super turbo HD remix was awesome.
It's trash though, that him doing well is used as a bludgeon against the game. It couldn't be because of matchup unfamiliarity, it's not because snake eyes is a fucking GOD, no, it's that Street fighter is just so much more skillful then strive. What a cancer take.

So I really don't like Leffen. I think he, as an individual, does not deserve respect. However, I do find some of this to be gatekeepy. People can play any and every fighting game and work towards success in all of them. Sure, gg and sf dont have a lot of overlap at the highest level. And sure, they are objectively very different. I'd even be willing to admit sf6 has more polish, especially at launch, then ggst. However, I do not think that makes a sf player better than a gg player.
Radically different games, even within GG series Strive is very different game than the others.

He also said he was done with Strive after Texas Showdown a month before it happened.

I get not liking someone and feeling like they shouldn't be at certain events, but the insults about his appearance are just juvenile.
Why are these guys bashing him for playing cheap shit, 90% of the pros play the cheap shit. It's also foolish to bash this guy by assuming he can't adapt to the street fighter style of play. There's a good chance he can. I mean he was good at DBFZ and Strive, 2 games that were no where similar to Smash. What a bunch of crap.

Watching people hate Leffen is beautiful.
I think the narrative of saying any street fighter player can easily win at GGST or that it is a higher skill game just because Snake Eyes did it dumb.
He's one of the greatest players in the world and undeniably the best grappler specialist in the entire world playing a character that has alot more transferable skill into Strive with Potemkin.
It's probably true that street fighter being a much larger game for an extremely long time the competition in it has grown the strongest players in probably any other fighting game. but alot of guilty gear players are better at the skills present in guilty gear like resource management, game knowledge, and risk/reward management than being good at reactions or footsies would. Maybe if punk got into guiltygear he'd destroy everyone, he is insanely good. but you don't see IDOM making alot of results in guilty gear.
when are we as the smash community gonna learn that being good at smash doesn’t mean we know shit about other games bro, this shit is embarrassing
As much as I hate leffen, this comment is no bueno:
1. People from other games trying your game is a good thing, gatekeeping is weird as hell
2. Leffen was pretty decent at Fighter Z too
3. Even in GG, he's playing the same game as everyone else. It's not his fault the game is balanced like shit
There's plenty to dunk on leffen about, but idk about this
Leffen also couldn't play Tekken.
I play GG Strive and the pros there aren't pro good compared to fighting games like SF, Tekken, KOF etc. It's just that there are barely any good players who take those games seriously. That's the case for most anime games. JimmyJTran who's a Tekken player just casually registered for UNIST at Evo and made top 3, and he didn't even mean to do that lol.
One of the few moments I actually agree with Punk's trashtalking.
This should be added to a most satisfying videos compilation.
Some games take more time to get good at. We know Punk and Snake Eyes would struggle more with Smash Melee than Leffen has been with SF6

I think it has less to do with the competition and more to do with the skill set being different. leffen is a lab monster who can run his game plan better than anyone, but he can't play footsies. the fact that he leaves a game and calls it trash if he isn't godlike right away doesn't help, this is a guy who dropped cammy right away bc people were initially calling her mid and she wasn't degenerate enough. but I'd say it was a smarter decision to stick with strive and win evo than be mid juri player #17377

I will say It definitely does feel like certain scenes have WAY more competitive players that makes winning big tournaments much more of a real challenge and a bigger achievement compared to others. I think its also a big reason why it took so long for someone like even Sonic Fox to really start getting actual respect because he had to play other games that aren't just NRS games before people actually started to see him as a genuinely a great player.

Dude Sonic fox did really well at EVO it’s not even comparable.

Sonicfox placed 20ish in Evo , that's pretty good.
It’s not “for some reason” he plays at a competitive level every game he plays. Daigo is called the beast but looses a lot , does that diminish the skills he has demonstrated ?

leffen played previous street fighter and he grinded sf6, there are new sf6 players that are doing way better with the same time he had.
@@szymonmirek6389 I doubt that he "grinded" that much considering he grinds GG strive....ya know because he's a GG strive top player so I still agree with the OP. If he actually grinded SF6 like Riddles then I think he'd do alot better. I think trying to downplay his skill at this point is getting silly right brother. He's a 2 time Evo GG Strive champion and a 3rd place runner up, he did well in DBZ fighters before he dropped it. It's time to stop with downplaying his skill, you can hate him all you want, dude is extremely cringe and annoying at times but his skill in fighting games is commendable.
You would not in a million years catch me letting a smash player into my head like this lol
I mean the fact that you’re here commenting this means that he got in your head a little
