Good shit SnakeEyez I would have lost my patients long ago in those matches.
Sent from Hueco Mundo using Garganta Talk.
Kick ass. Our big buddy can still soar.
Gratz to Snakeeyes, best gief in the world!! 
Best in the US no doubt. Congrats man I was on the edge of my seat, those matches were ridiculously nail biting.
So neutral jump seems to be a useful tool against Rufus when you have the life lead. Green hand with FADC was also a godsend for him, I never imagined it could be so useful. This is truly a match where every little bit of damage counts, even chip damage.
Damn, that was intense. I never thought I’d see Gief win a major. Makes me wanna step my shit up a notch.
Maybe I have a fighting chance of making it to Team Canada…
Congratz to Snake Eyes and Vangief. I dont play zangief, but im very happy about him winning a major.
Wow I have NEVER been that hype over grand finals!
Snake had HERCULEAN patience, props to that guy, wow!
Every second was so tense so crazy…
The Grand Final set of the year…
One of the best GF sets I’ve EVER seen…
That’s how you’re supposed to play Gief. If you don’t have herculean patience you need to play as someone else.
Totally agree. That’s why most US Giefs are trash imo. They play overly aggressive and have this mindset to just spd everything. The gh nerf made patience even more of a prerequisite which made him tougher to play at high levels as well.
I know I am the Dudley player, but I wanted to share this match with people because we both had a lot of fun!

Funny online tournament match I’ve had today. Will start uploading some of my sets soon, in order to get some critique/advice. ^^
the only gief vids youll ever need.
Sweet ending lol
FA Dash forward is a lot better than you think. You’re doing this because Hadokens are slow to recover, and it’s literally a fireball punish on Ryu at a certain range. It works 100% of the time, and you change the way the game is played by shutting down that option. Once more cr.forwards are used instead of a 55% screen Hadoken, you can start short xx ex gh or whiff punish with jab SPD.
Use focus attack to change what the opponent’s choices are, if you punish once or twice–you cut down his fireball game without spending meter–but gaining half of a bar. Evan’s right about this one.
This quick video with old tech that I did for a friend might be useful here:
I’m actually planning to do it with cameras on the stick, like I’m doing with other videos.
I don’t understand what your video is supposed to tell us. So we should mash lariat in case Honda goes for an oicho throw after ex.hands? Am I missing something here?
It’s a poorly explained video, showcasing, the ability to make your specials unthrowable, by canceling any of your 6 pre-jump frames into a special move. This technique adds another dimension or meta layer to the guessing game.
As you are aware, lariat can be throw. But by pressing up first, then PPP. You won’t be thrown. This would be handy against demon flip grab.
Other interesting unthrowable moves would be EX SPD and EX GH.
I met a Sakura in winners semi at national finals qualifier. I think the match is good for learning some ranges for gief vs. Sakura, the Sakura isnt abusing the jump tatsu/hp though. Might be too scared!.,

I also played a Cammy in winners finale, who then went Seth. Dunno if it was recorded., Something “wrong” with the equipment.
