LOL! Nice tribute to the old Spider Man theme. Here's one based on "Ocean Man." Strider Man! He does what he can! Just as fast as Sans! He makes his foes kick the can!
I will give capcom some credit... They know how to animate a character like DAMN some of the animations are so smooth and beautiful especially in season 3
Zeku is too good to be true. All his moves, forms, entry and ending's looks excellent to me. I think, i'm ready to play this game only becose of him. Such perfect character in my eyes to be honest.
I feel like an idiot for just having realized it, but the young and old Zeku forms seem to represent his earlier style of Bushinryu and the one that he developed later on by himself.... cool!
"I need to find some way to get young again." Don't we all? I love Zeku, he's really accessible despite the seeming complexity and so many tools for every situation and fun to play to boot. Btw, I wonder if Max has noticed that young man's shoulder bash goes under fireballs...
Floral yeah, I hadn't played in like months and barely got to silver last time lol but yeah I couldn't remember how to approach so I wasn't sure how to attack and saw he was practicing for 3 hours and got scared
Young Zeku is just a very nerfed Guy. He's Guy without the Speed, pressure game, and good pokes. As far as Old Zeku goes his gram is unsafe, and his "demon Flip" is almost useless since you can just duck which takes away a lot of its uses. I think he's fun and ill try to main him but he needs works.
the legend If you think about it, it makes sense that young zeku is a nerfed guy. Guy's playstyle is all about rushing the opponent, he can't do anything else, but Zeku is much more versatile, having the ability to change moveset to a much more defensive one, he doesn't need to be that strong offensively.
What's the point of the old man version? Does it work like Vega's claw where there are different moves and uses for both, or is it more like Dante's Devil Trigger where you get buffed for limited time and then go back to old man form? Also, what is the more explanation for him being able to suddenly become young?
*Street Fighter may struggle sometimes as a game, but GAHDAMN can they make characters! I need a Street Fighter anime one of these days by like Studio Bones/Madhouse*
He acts like a 5 year old. His gameplay and design are alright but would you really watch a show with a character who is literally the biggest man child ever? It'd definitely get old fast.
So how does this man de-age himself and why does he waste his time being ninja when he could just sell that secret and be so rich as to be able to buy planet earth?
Idc Lawl Well tbh, this is actually the first time since Ibuki that I became even remotely interested in buying SFV, and that's purely because of my love for certain characters. I'm pretty sure I'm still gonna end up not buying, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even a little tempted to.
DuskNerd Dont worry i get the excitement. Why do you think i bought the game in the first place ? If you want to buy it go ahead but theres a very high chance you will be dissapointed like many many Street Fighter fans. The game is just boring once you learn your character which doesnt take long. Theres literally no content in the game other than online 1v1. Arcade might be fun if they manage to make a kick ass boss for every SF version but lets be real they wont do that much work.
Darkswords14 Young Zeku is Strider in looks but uses BushinRyu attacks. Old Zeku uses the new techniques that Striders will use and further develop in the future...(Gram Kicks evolving into Sword long slices)
"Gotta find some ways to get young again..."
Context is everything.
Strider-Man, Strider-Man
Looks as Strider-ish as he can
Is he Max in cosplay?
With that hair, it's hard to say
Look out! Here comes the Strider-Man!
The Rogue Wolf My likes! Take them!
Brilliant.
so copied and paste and corny all at the same time. damn if you're going to take somebody's comment at least be funny.
LOL! Nice tribute to the old Spider Man theme. Here's one based on "Ocean Man."
Strider Man! He does what he can! Just as fast as Sans! He makes his foes kick the can!
Calledyourdumbasscommentout 17 Please, point out where I copied and pasted this comment from.
Young man
down down mid kick mid punch
I said young man
All of Zeku's win quotes are haikus...
hibber25 wtf
hibber25 That’s actually pretty cool
Ed IKR?! Zeku is proving why he's worth it! :)
I was gonna say the same thing!
5-7-5 silabs japanese poems, right?i knew it
I will give capcom some credit... They know how to animate a character like DAMN some of the animations are so smooth and beautiful especially in season 3
PotholedXTerror0 98 Except We haven't seen any of season 3 and Zeku is the finale of season 2.
Hayden Hyde totally meant to say season 2 lmao my bad
PotholedXTerror0 98 All good. Honestly probably to obsessive a correction on my part.
capcom can breath easy now this guy is " giving them credit" lol
Daddy Strider glad Capcom is expanding his lore
LOL game universe
Next we'll get Dante lol
i thought that was supposed to be guys teacher?
He was. After he finished training Guy, he disappeared and reappeared in SFV as the new and improved Zeku.
blackbokuto he is the first strider, and he trained guy and maki during final fight
I like how Max wants to cover Zeku’s old face with that skin
Zeku is too good to be true. All his moves, forms, entry and ending's looks excellent to me.
I think, i'm ready to play this game only becose of him. Such perfect character in my eyes to be honest.
"I kinda like young dude." - Max 2017
I feel like an idiot for just having realized it, but the young and old Zeku forms seem to represent his earlier style of Bushinryu and the one that he developed later on by himself.... cool!
Call me crazy, but but doesnt zeku's slashing kick sounds like strider's sword slash? Haha wow
Well... Zeku is the founder of the striders.
don't worry, you're not crazy, cuz it does sound like strider's sword slash.
This is beautiful.
He handled Zeku very well,I'll be getting practice as well.
"Young man there's a place you can go I said young man "
I hope they give him more combos in season 3.
This game is getting so much better. And I use to hate it. But everything is falling into place so well.
just waiting for the arcade mode so i can finally have actual fun instead of being frustrated playing online matches.
I love how it's literally just Strider. He even has the same weapon strapped to his waist.
Intense close calls as usual.
You handle Zeku very well,great job.
I can't wait for more!
That was intense.This was missing in SFV and it has returned at last!
"I need to find some way to get young again."
Don't we all?
I love Zeku, he's really accessible despite the seeming complexity and so many tools for every situation and fun to play to boot. Btw, I wonder if Max has noticed that young man's shoulder bash goes under fireballs...
damn... i didn't know i was not supposed to respect you lol well now i know max, now i know
AfternoonConcession wait, what? Were you the Gief he beat? Your names are similar.
Floral yeah, I hadn't played in like months and barely got to silver last time lol but yeah I couldn't remember how to approach so I wasn't sure how to attack and saw he was practicing for 3 hours and got scared
Why does zeku's old man look remind me of borderlands? I mean his face on the win screen
Zeku is so sick. I really love this character.
what the hell is akuma doin in street fighter?
hes a tekkn character
*Facepalm*
the chair is back, but renji won don't you got better questions?
*Double Faceplam*
*Great Gameplay max,Zeku is a very interesting character and brings a much needed character to SFV*
Loving Zeku, he's the 1st character of the season 2 that I'd adore to see in other street fighter games!
YOUNG MAN!
There's no need to feel down ♫
I said, YOUNG MAN!
Pick yourself off the ground ♫
What if old and young Zeku are two different people and they just ninja switch instead of transform?
MIND BLOWN!!

Unknown Being Very true. Yea I sort of figured that’s why they made him the way they did. They didn’t want to make him too strong.
Welcome back to street fighter v max it's good to see you doing week of again
I wish Kirin or Osman from Cannon Dancer was like a costume in this but that game isnt very welk known...
Young Zeku (regular outfit and color) reminds me so much of Lars from Tekken 7. He even has a lot of moves from Lars from SFxT
Damn, Max! Those were some yolo SRK's during that last match, lol.
"I kind of like young dude." Maxmillian, Oct 2017.
hilarious how his leg makes the cypher noise.
I guess Zeku confirms that the Strider games and Street Fighter take place in the same universe.
Wassup Max? Good matches bro!
Loving the way zeku looks. Strider Zekuryu
Apart from the appearance, I only just realized that Zeku's kicks look and sound like Strider's Cypher
Anyone else notice his kicks do the same sound effects at Striders sword?
Is that Gajeel Redfox AKA David Wald that I hear as Zeku? Nice.
2 years since zeku was released I think I’m old
What's the point of the old man version? Does it work like Vega's claw where there are different moves and uses for both, or is it more like Dante's Devil Trigger where you get buffed for limited time and then go back to old man form?
Also, what is the more explanation for him being able to suddenly become young?
Last time I was this early max didn't record in 4k quality
why can I only see 4 fingers in zeku's left hand during loading screen !?
Max is the older form Strider is the younger form.
Which do you like more the meta in SF5 or the meta in Injustice 2.
I say young man!
Come out and play
I say young man!
Let's V-skill today
I say young man!
*Street Fighter may struggle sometimes as a game, but GAHDAMN can they make characters! I need a Street Fighter anime one of these days by like Studio Bones/Madhouse*
Abigail.
Yeah?
Abigail is a fun character and is also pretty good.
He acts like a 5 year old. His gameplay and design are alright but would you really watch a show with a character who is literally the biggest man child ever? It'd definitely get old fast.
I'd watch Abigail fix cars
In that context he might be tolerable. Touche'
Still don’t know why they gave him a flying scissor kick & not make it an overhead but he animates well
Zeku uses haikus
I can make one, too
It's snowing on Mt. Fuji.
Young Zeku has SO many moves and target combos.
Old Zeku needs at least a counter, Not a parry but a counter like Kolin.
I'm really loving Zeku, though I'm with Max in that Capcom should've added a code that lets you start matches as Young Zeku.
Maximilian Dood, do you have any advice for maining Ken or Akuma in Street Fighter 3?
More!! We need MORE!!!
So how does this man de-age himself and why does he waste his time being ninja when he could just sell that secret and be so rich as to be able to buy planet earth?
dudeistpriestman ancient jutsu secret... or some other plot device.
Whenever he does a flip jump i think he's a ragdoll
Stridering it up boys
What's with Young Zeku's eye in his win pose? Is he a zombie?
Max, are you playing on a pad? What happened to your fight stick?
Get your feet off the ground I said young man!
If i recall, you literally waited 10 minutes for a match. Wow
Christian Harris yeah i think around 40% of the playerbase is stuck between bronze and ultra bronze
Latch Darkinger this isn't league
Kappa
Max, is Zeku your favourite character in street fighter five?
You may like Young Strider but you're actually solid with Strider Senior, Max.
How does everyone like Zeku so far ?
Reset Games He's fun to play as
Its fkkn badasz that Zeku is a legit Strider
Reset Games Badass!
Reset Games He's a bit underpowered
Too bad he doesn't play like Strider. Boring moveset.
It'd be funny if you played Village People's "Y.M.C.A." at low volume every time you became young man.
Max can you do a top 5 video for the new characters in season 2 of SFV ???
So Strider's weird metal belt is actually a toolbelt, neato.
Wow I didn’t know Strider was in this game!
Zeku is like gen with Juri I don't it collabs very well
Does Zeku always have Strider's sword slash sound effects? That's not a mod or anything?
AngelsAegis Yeah that's in the normal game. There are heavy hints that he's actually the first Strider.
Zeku is dope bro ~
Max is CaptainKolon now?
So does switching from old to young actually change anything gameplay wise or is it purely aesthetics?
ejn if you look carefully or just watch the video in its entirety youll notice that the young version has different combos from the Old version.
ejn Everything except his super and V-trigger is partially or completely different between forms. In fact, old and young Zeku share no special moves.
Zeku is the New Raiden
Guyder Hiryu looks fun.
So is that Stryder?
Thats fkkn legit… good shxt max
Zeku n u go together like pbnj
he talks in haiku....let that sink in...
ARE YOU SERIOUS
ZEKO'S WIN QUOTES ARE HAIKUS
THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH
I FRIKKIN SWEAR BRUH
STOP MAKING ME WANT THIS GAME
CAPCOM YOU MUST CHILL
DuskNerd Wow you are one easy to manipulate customer.
Idc Lawl Well tbh, this is actually the first time since Ibuki that I became even remotely interested in buying SFV, and that's purely because of my love for certain characters. I'm pretty sure I'm still gonna end up not buying, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even a little tempted to.
DuskNerd Dont worry i get the excitement. Why do you think i bought the game in the first place ? If you want to buy it go ahead but theres a very high chance you will be dissapointed like many many Street Fighter fans. The game is just boring once you learn your character which doesnt take long. Theres literally no content in the game other than online 1v1. Arcade might be fun if they manage to make a kick ass boss for every SF version but lets be real they wont do that much work.
Was... was that a haiku you made there?
Who is Zeko
Street fighter 5 is good for one thing for sure..... a fast cure for my sleep deprivation
Roast 24/7. Always make sure it always perfectly roasted
Yo is that Zeku's battle costume, or a mod?
DerpMayCry Battle Costume. He's the first Strider, so it makes sense. :)
Who's strider
They need shadow lady (Chun li) back and black tiger sagat with black flame tiger moves who with me on that!!
Man, If they don't put Guy in SFV because of Zeku, I'm really going to resent them even more.
So, did Capcom officially make Strider part of Street Fighter lore, or that just a homage costume?
Mastodon I think it's part of the lore. From what I here zeku is the first strider
Are the "ching" sound he makes a mod, or is part of the game?
Julian Laborde Cool! Another link, if the strider vibe was incomplete
Wait who is Zeku in the SF lore? Is he really old man Strider???
zeeeeb0 Zeku is the OG Strider, he created them.
Is it me or is it that his young self looks like Strider
I really like how respectful to opponents Maximillian is compared to how he acts against the AI.
Nice to see such an optimist group of people here in the comments! :D
:(
that genocide cutter at the end, zeku's been playing king of fighters huh?
So young man is strider I need to know
Darkswords14 Young Zeku is Strider in looks but uses BushinRyu attacks.
Old Zeku uses the new techniques that Striders will use and further develop in the future...(Gram Kicks evolving into Sword long slices)
Hey max
Is it safe to say that Zeku is Strider's master as well, or is it vise versa? hmmmmmmm
OMG Zengief looks just like stryder...
so basically its strider hyryu
is Zeku DLC?
Why aint he using the sword?
Infernus Titan I'm stilling wondering that two months later
So why is he strider? Just because fanservice or is there a reason?
