Reads is the poker concept of ranges and balance. Take the Zangief Headbutt vs Guile flash kick example. You have to reset some of the time, SPD some of the time, and block some of the time. If resetting is not in your range, then you never have to block and bait the reversal. Likewise, if EX Flashkick is not in guile's range, if he never does it, then you never have to block and bait it. Against a thinking opponent, it's important to maintain this balance. SF5 and SF6 Zangief is designed to play this way due to BD.
The conditioning video should have Gief with a conditioner and shampoo bottle in both hands wondering which to pick lol 😂 Use the artwork from the Marisa story when he’s confused holding the flyer lol
What amazes me is how often zangief players know exactly how many normals it'll take for me to stop holding up! Incredible!
The problem is the opponents read me like an open book, lol
Bad ass video Keru!!!!
Oh and Would this video have a second part for conditioning ?
Reads in SFV with Zangief were so fun... until V-Shift ruined everything.
I love your thumbnails.

The best is when you randomly guess right a bunch of times, and your opponent thinks you're godlike at reading them
