About Dan it's actually that the fighting style he created is the actual strongest fighting style, but he's too busy coping Ken and Ryu to realize and he'sbad at the stuff he's coping. If he sticked to his own style he be a way better fighter.
He's also a hilarious character in the meta. He's often picked by extremely, extremely good players ho know he's just a bit worse than everyone else, so that it's more humiliating when they win or (more charitably) so it's more of a challenge to do so. It's actually kind of fitting with his personality and general design, which is very funny to me.
technically Dan is not copying Ken and Ryu, he was trained initially by Gouken, but when Gouken realize Dan was learning ansatsuken to avenge his father death, he refused to teach him the rest, so Dan was left only with the basics of the technique, so he filled the gaps with his own knowledge (which just happen to look similar to Ryo Sakasaki's style from SNK), that's why his moves are goofy but still work to a certain point.
at one point in the comics, he gets taken over by the Satsui no Hado, and actually manages to pull off a Raging Demon! He…trips over a rock mid-dash and knocks himself out but still!!
The other thing with Dan is that in SFV he does genuinely tap into the true strengths of the Saikyo style but by accident. From time to time, he throws a super powerful red fireball which means that can use Saikyo as it is meant to be used but given his "WHAT THE?!" when he does, he has no idea how to use it properly.
24:30 is absolutely SENDING me. -First, Poison’s intro literally stuns both of them into silence. -as they’re recovering, it hard cuts to T.Hawk ROCKETING in from the other direction
I can't believe this was Grayfruit's last video before the cordyceps fungus took him over from his vocal cords out and puppeted his lifeless body into becoming the #1 pop star in the West.
at 5:11 The lady in the background is Dhalsim his wife. It is a reference to Street Fighter Alpha 2 where she stood also in the background. She would cheer for Dhalsim if he won, and cry if he looses. Now you can argue wheter it is truly his wife or not, but in the days of Street Fighter 2 their they brought a promotion book out with art in Japan, showing the characters in their free time. In that book Dhalsim is shown in a room eating with a kid and the same women, with under the picture something like "Dhalsim tells his wife and child about the advantures he had in the Street Fighter tourement". The book with translation is avaible in the Street Fighter 30st Anniversary Collaction game.
40:15 Interesting development in the lore. Lark is incapable of burping, and Grayfruit is capable of doing it infinitely. Truly the yin to the other's yang
Fun Fact: Seth is also a biblical name, the third child of Adam, and the only one who wasn't born a twin there were other twins born afterwards, but we don't have their names
El Fuerte is in SF6 as a cameo in some of the characters' memories in world tour mode (he made food for Ryu in one of them) but he's not playable obviously
I really wish we got more of the SF4 newcomers back aside from Juri (and technically also C. Viper in Marvel 3 but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single person on earth play her and I legit forget she’s even in the game half the time lol)
17:42 the most wildest exchange ever. FADC works with any attack that gets hit or blocked and Any special attack that gets hit or blocked. It uses two blocks of meter.
As a somewhat decent fighting game fan i genuinely love watching these two goofballs duke it out and talk about lore with chat. SFV was my introduction to the series and then i tried playing all main SF games. Currently trying to get to master in SF6.
You know it was really interesting that grayfruit and lark just lathered themselves in oil and stayed like that for the rest of the video at 11:18 (I've held this joke in my mind for so long since the stream that I forgot the real joke that I wanted to put in this comment that had to do with obeing oiled up)
@@mydrillasanjay5397 I mean Jacob is thiccer and we all know that he is the king of _slick_ . But Andrew puts his heart into it and he'd be way more creative. My vote is for Lark.
On Dan: So close in concept, but like, the opposite conclusion! Saikyo is actually one of the strongest styles, and Dan has the potential to be one of the strongest fighters! He's just. Dan Or maybe you are right idk
Fun fact: for those who don't know most of the characters like Dudley, Elena, Rolento, Ibuki, Poison, Hugo, some of the stages like the rocket ship and dinosaur park all came from Street Fighter x Tekken
28:14 based. unfathomably based, grapplerpilled even always appreciate seeing people embrace the big boy lifestyle, we be churning butter and eating glue till we die
what fucks me up about the third strike online ost is that it's by the same guy who composed the payday 1 and 2 soundtracks, simon viklund i have no idea how he fumbled that one
55:43 for the excellent oil coffee discussion The opening of the VOD is about 10 minutes of the two of them talking about Elon Musk and oil coffee and it's hilarious Highly recommend
49:20 pretty sure it's just because 3 did the whole "new generation" thing so it was supposed to be a lot later, and then they wanted to use the old characters again. and then after making 4 and 5 they remembered they're fighting games and so they can just put whichever characters they want whenever for any reason.
Best part of the Oleato is that its combining two laxatives(olive oil and coffee), and there have been many reports of people shitting their brains out after drinking all of it.
Im pretty sure it’s cannon that Cody doesn’t have any special like tornado abilities or technique it’s just that he’s so strong his punches create strong winds
44:07 the same sample is also used in the rhythm thief series as the "go" part of a pretty common count-in in the game's ost. never heard of rhythm thief? it's a game on the 3ds that's also where that one stupid tiktok cursed images trend came from and it's one of many examples of people recognising the original source material specifically as the meme, similar to virtual insanity and the family guy cutaway that parodies it with "dancing, walking, rearranging furniture" can you tell i'm bitter about this happening several times to things i legitimately enjoy
You wanna know the most fucked up part about the Street Fighter timeline? If people's estimations are correct, SF6 takes place in 2007 to 2008-ish, and the only way people guessed that was because Ken's kid (Mel, he's in Ken's ending) was three years old in SFIII, and 6 says he's a "teenager" with no specific age given, so the best theory people have is a 10 year skip from III to 6, since that would make him 13 or 14. TL;RD: The current timeline depends entirely on how long ago Ken's kid punched him in the balls.
Fun fact I actually started doing taekwondo because I played this and saw juri and I was like yep I want to learn how to kick like this bitch I stopped going cause guy running started doing some scummy business gonna do jiu jitsu now
if you haven't seen it already, clement made a whole video trying to unravel the lore of the street fighter games, like, all of them except for 6 and the EX games that'd get you all up to date and make you the Lore Master
I originally didn’t care much for Hakan when I first played SF4, but he’s become one of my favorite characters. I like using grapplers in general, but his animations are so fun. I desperately want him to return in SF6.
Great video Mr. Grayfruit! Able actually does have the Tanden Engine its just covered by his skin. There's a costume in Tatsunoko VS Capcom for able where his skin has been blasted off and you can see his metallic insides big yin yang ball included!
I ate a slightly moldy microwave sausage roll from a refrigerated vending machine last month and it made me think of you It was the last thing in the machine so I scraped the moldy bits off with a plastic knife It was very dry
at 34:05 when the mention the cars from cars those buses are a trend in japan called “vanning” it’s basically bosuzoku but with buses or vans instead of cars or bikes. just a fun fact that i happened to know
28:35 Honda is a Sumo wrestler, they throw salt sometimes before a match as a way to purify the ring. I think it was called shubatsu or shibatsu, but thats a long time ago i saw that done.
the boys are playing most street fighter games cause they're gonna join sf6's professional scene and absolutely dunk on everyone (with their knowledge of skooks)
sidenote: Yuri isn't actually a porn genre, it's more just a genre about sapphic stories in general (with something of a trend towards yearning and tragedy). Yaoi, the "counterpart", is a porn genre basically- the actual counterpart is BL, aka Boys Love. Which is weird that it doesn't have its own distinct word but such is life
Since you're done with the series, you should the same thing but with Tekken. There aren't that many games, there are 8 main-line, 2 Tags, and Tekken Advance off the top of my head, with Tekken 8 coming soon. They're fun, funny, and simple. I think you and Lark would at least like the games, especially with how much goofy shit happens. Great music, easy to pick up, and in glorious full 3D.
I think a lot of people root for lark because mr. fruit is the "main character" and lark is the fan favorite wacky "secondary character" thats not in all videos
I’m surprised that Juri fans are the only people ever caught as foot fetishists, in a series with a main character who never wears shoes and gameplay literally based around “footsies”.
19:16 yeah look at her TIEATS 23:07 what if you fuse ultron and steh you get sethtron 23:15 you mean the volcano stage in 7? 23:33 yogaaaaaah 25:03 yeah his cooking sucks like rotten vegetables 25:10 it means demon or ogre in japanese 26:43 she's like a Chinese goddess 26:45 yeah a Chinese genie if you say 32:07 mmmm doughnuts 34:07 thanks for showing me this 35:37 yeah I guess he gives up being an police man and becomes a rockstar 36:51 those are called jingshi if you know hsien-ko 39:40 she looks more like a genie an italian genie 42:19 look at her 42:38 actually able is probably one of his clones 49:53 yup accurate in Africa 55:40 well that's all folks I'm done here but hold on I taught it was oh my god
48:50 It actually goes SF -> SFA -> SF2 -> SF4-> SF5 -> SF3 -> SF5 -> SF6 At the end of SF5 bison is dead and Seth's organization falls. that's why they're not in SF6 Ryu also masters his fighting style at the end of SF5. that's why he can use denjin charge
![[Fan Edit] Grayfruit's Climb through Rhythm Heaven Megamix](/img/n.gif)
At the end of this series Grayfruit will reveal he is a DLC character in Street Fighter 6.
Grayfruit Announcer DLC
OOOOOOHHHHH oh nooo
his drive impact is he slides at you and says slick
He's a grappler, and all his moves are just "spin the stick and mash buttons"
He is the Sho character
About Dan it's actually that the fighting style he created is the actual strongest fighting style, but he's too busy coping Ken and Ryu to realize and he'sbad at the stuff he's coping. If he sticked to his own style he be a way better fighter.
absolutely saikyo-pilled
He's also a hilarious character in the meta.

-First, Poison’s intro literally stuns both of them into silence.
-as they’re recovering, it hard cuts to T.Hawk ROCKETING in from the other direction
T.Hawk was diving in for that BOOTY
Bro think hes adam warlock
I can't believe this was Grayfruit's last video before the cordyceps fungus took him over from his vocal cords out and puppeted his lifeless body into becoming the #1 pop star in the West.
that’s what moldy bread does to ya.
22:31 I adore lark's impression of an innocent man having a Hakan Rib shot into his throat
Like, zoi- *SCHLOORORORORORP*
at 5:11 The lady in the background is Dhalsim his wife. It is a reference to Street Fighter Alpha 2 where she stood also in the background.

Came to comment this. And it may be the same woman in SFIII, but I don't think it's ever been addressed
40:15
Interesting development in the lore. Lark is incapable of burping, and Grayfruit is capable of doing it infinitely. Truly the yin to the other's yang
Don't you mean... the Yun?
Nice to see the power install -> death combo exists in every franchise
Almost as good as the "I taunted in real life, and then I lost" combo
14:30 Now that I think about it, looks like they saved King Cobra's "Kung Fu + breakdancing" idea for Jamie in SF6
They also basically redid the idea of french judo grappler that was Abel in the form of Manon
I’m REALLY glad you included the whole rant of the starbucks oil coffee of the beginning. Easily the best part of the vod.
I've learnt more about the Street Fighter series from grayfruit than from my friends whos being explaining it to me for 5 years
losing it at grayfruit saying "everyone will be up my ass if I get this wrong" and the first words out of his mouth after that were wrong LMAO
This comment was typed from up Gray's ass.
30:55 I love how Gray does like 15 moves as Rolento and gets some good damaged, then Lark hits him like twice and does the same amount of damage.
that is why hugo is s tier
Fun Fact: Seth is also a biblical name, the third child of Adam, and the only one who wasn't born a twin
there were other twins born afterwards, but we don't have their names
They did mention it, kinda
Fun fact: Guy’s voice actor in this game is the same guy who sang Rules of Nature from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
El Fuerte is in SF6 as a cameo in some of the characters' memories in world tour mode (he made food for Ryu in one of them) but he's not playable obviously
I really wish we got more of the SF4 newcomers back aside from Juri (and technically also C. Viper in Marvel 3 but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single person on earth play her and I legit forget she’s even in the game half the time lol)
yet
17:42 the most wildest exchange ever. FADC works with any attack that gets hit or blocked and Any special attack that gets hit or blocked. It uses two blocks of meter.
I’m a little sad they didn’t delve into Omega Mode, but it’s still a grayfruit Street Fighter video, and it’s still a banger
I don't know how to explain this, but Grayfruit has developed a "polite dad" laugh
Evo is happening right now but it still isn’t the biggest fighting game event today
As a somewhat decent fighting game fan i genuinely love watching these two goofballs duke it out and talk about lore with chat. SFV was my introduction to the series and then i tried playing all main SF games. Currently trying to get to master in SF6.

When Lark said "Is she possessed?" in reference to Juri I think about that every time I see Juri
This is the first time someone lost with Elena in USF4
Fun fact I actually started doing taekwondo because I played this and saw juri and I was like yep I want to learn how to kick like this bitch I stopped going cause guy running started doing some scummy business gonna do jiu jitsu now
Grug Frot plays straight puncher 9
i'm sad they didn't get to see the Final Round of the Mad Gear Hideout, because Hagar starts chasing the gang all over the background as you fight
if you haven't seen it already, clement made a whole video trying to unravel the lore of the street fighter games, like, all of them except for 6 and the EX games
that'd get you all up to date and make you the Lore Master
As soon as I heard him say in a stream "yeah Andrew has the thumbnail for SF4 done" I knew it was going to be a banger
Ain't no way you dissed that jazzy NYC remix! Every version of jazzy NYC is great.
I originally didn’t care much for Hakan when I first played SF4, but he’s become one of my favorite characters. I like using grapplers in general, but his animations are so fun. I desperately want him to return in SF6.
One day the boys will learn how to cancel into moves, one day.
All of Grayfruit's video titles for his Street Fighter videos have felt like he's yelling them at us.
if you're his twitch sub he'll personally come to your house and yell the video's title every time you open it
You have no idea how much I needed to see ken street fighter
Man, whenever Rolento sat on his pole like a little monkey man, it kinda…reminded me of someone. I just don’t know who…
I love how they talk about like bad competitive balancing and you just see Elena
Great video Mr. Grayfruit! Able actually does have the Tanden Engine its just covered by his skin.
There's a costume in Tatsunoko VS Capcom for able where his skin has been blasted off and you can see his metallic insides big yin yang ball included!

I hate that fighting games is algorithm poison, these videos are fantastic.
37:53
"street fights, that's a reference to street fighter"
"oh shit it is! that's kinda fun"
Gray's laugh is particularly amusing in this video. I wonder if he had a cold or something.
I relate to Hugo on a spiritual level
*on a potato level

You're legally obligated to talk about the High Roller Casino music in SFV
Wake up babe new grayfruit fighting game video
new fear unlocked: gorilla
the boys are playing most street fighter games cause they're gonna join sf6's professional scene and absolutely dunk on everyone (with their knowledge of skooks)

yay
One of my favorite current series. Hell yeah
the placement of oil coffee feels like a marvel post credits scene
I've never seen street fighter IV actually now that I think about it
Street Fighter 4: Ultra Street Fighter 4 is one of my favorite fighting games!

Oh yeah the vod already slapped can’t wait to see this
Juri is just 'What if we made Rita Repulsa hot?'
Guile, alex, abel and luke they've been trying to get a blond white boy to replace ryu for a while now.
you shoulda showed the elena storymode ending where she takes a selfie with Akuma
Thanks, Jacob G. Fruit, for this delectable meal.
literally the best street fighter

44:49 I'm rooting for Fuerte to come back in 6 and everyone i know disagrees
So excited for these men to get Pik'd up.
Since you're done with the series, you should the same thing but with Tekken. There aren't that many games, there are 8 main-line, 2 Tags, and Tekken Advance off the top of my head, with Tekken 8 coming soon. They're fun, funny, and simple. I think you and Lark would at least like the games, especially with how much goofy shit happens. Great music, easy to pick up, and in glorious full 3D.
I would NOT say simple, but Tekken is amazing. They would freak over Tag’s 2p Arcade. OH and the music will hit.
maybe the real street fighters were the friends we made along the way
I think a lot of people root for lark because mr. fruit is the "main character" and lark is the fan favorite wacky "secondary character" thats not in all videos
"Oh shit she kinda looks like Kars" Bro Rose is literally Lisa Lisa
I’m surprised that Juri fans are the only people ever caught as foot fetishists, in a series with a main character who never wears shoes and gameplay literally based around “footsies”.
don't worry lark, i don't have the proper muscles to burp either
19:16 yeah look at her TIEATS
23:07 what if you fuse ultron and steh you get sethtron
23:15 you mean the volcano stage in 7?
