The player who made the difficult easy
In fighting games we have witnessed legendary comebacks and comebacks that seemed impossible. Today I am going to bring you, not a comeback, but rather "The comebacks" where the player Snake Eyez, a faithful Zangief player, had the responsibility and weight of his region on him since by losing the members of his team he would be in a 1 vs 5 against characters over which he had no advantage and against some of the best players in the world.
There are people who love a character so much that they marry him by choosing him always, not only in one game but directly in all of the saga
This is the case of the player I am going to write about today, who since Street Fighter 2 has committed to using Zangief no matter how good he is, achieving the greatest title in his career which was winning the Evo in 2010.
I know you might not be that impressed that he won a championship in a game that's almost two decades old, but he did it against the best, beating players like Tokido and Daigo Umehara in the process.
Zangief is a grab character who is not a bad character at all, he just has a problem, that due to his nature he needs to get close to the opponent to do devastating damage and that is difficult against several characters who have projectiles and long-distance hits.
There is a concept called "Matchup" which is the strategy and knowledge of the game that is applied in a match between a specific character against another specific character. An example if your main character is white the way to face a Ken player is different the way to face JP and since there are different archetypes, strengths and weaknesses there are some characters that you are stronger against and others that you are weaker against. Zangief as we already mentioned has many complications with characters that Zangief and that are much more complete than him, having in the fourth installment in Snake Eyez's own words eight matchups in which he wins, three in which he is neutral and 16 in which he loses despite the fact that Zangief has matchups in which he cannot do much. Snake Eyez has shown that this is not an impediment to winning tournaments alongside his beloved character.
Well, I leave you the video, and enjoy it as I did when I saw it.

thank you so much
that tournament was actually very fun to watch. I was a huge fan of SF2 when it was in arcades and there was a decent version of it on SNES but the game has evolved so much to the point where I don't really even know how to play it anymore. I tried not long ago but I'm afraid I am just too far behind. I do recall that Zangeif was my least favorite character to play as back in the day though :)
Yes, it has changed a lot. By the way, have you played Age of Mythology: Retold Gods? I played the first one they released, now I bought this one and I'm playing it. The truth is that they improved it very well. I recommend it. I will make a post about this game later.
I don't know what that game is but I'll read about it when you post for sure.

@libertycrypto27 no puedo defenderme por que me mutearon en la comunidad y quiero decir que soy una victima nada mas, si que es verdad que le envié esos 0.7 hive a elkaos pero hace mucho tiempo de eso y si es verdad que copie la forma que tenia de hacer los concurso, pero en ningún momento pertenezco a todos esas cuenta que mencionan, he sido el cabeza de turco de una trama de este señor. Pero ahora da igual lo que yo diga o haga ya que por este echo ya no voy a poder escribir nada aqui, asi que prefiero retíreme antes de que me tiren piedras ya esto solo lo hacia por e entretenerme gracias a dios tengo un trabajo y un sueldo y esto es solo una manera de escribir de algo que me gustaba. Siento que opinéis mal de mi, pero como he dicho he sido la victima nada mas. Tenéis un comunidad fabulosa seguir así,
PD: si que conozco al señor elkaos y lo conozco fisicamente ya que vive en la misma calle que yo y el fue el que me comento de esta razon social y el fue el que me dijo de que podia escribir, lo que no sabia era lo que detras de habia, es mas de pues esto fui en busca de el para hablar cara a cara y este señor lo que hace es solo esquivarme, pero se que algun dia me lo encontrare de cara y me tendra que explicar bien esto que hace y le aseguro que me va explicar ya que mi profesión es policía nacional de España, y el fue que me metio en una red de mentiras, pero aqui eso es denunciable aqui en españa y voy hacer mis propias investigaciones y si veo algo fraudulento le aseguro que puede entrar en la cárcel por eso.
Y el único error que he cometido es haberte dicho que no lo conocia cuando en verdad si lo conocía y de eso me arrepiento, pero no soy ningún estafador o embaucador, soy una victima
Hi @gladiadorr I appreciate your response and sincerity in admitting that you knew elkaos but at the same time I was disappointed that you lied to me when you wrote that you did not know him.
I did not mutate you in the Olio di Balena community and it was a choice of the creator of the community.
In my research post about your contest I added this response of yours to give you the space to defend yourself.
If you want to write a post about your case to defend yourself you can always write it in a post in another community or write a post without community and tag the accounts you want them to read your response.
Even if you are mutated in a community you can always write your comments using peakd because you can always view comments from a mutated account by clicking on display comment.
ok muchas gracias, entre hoy y mañana pondré mis alegaciones y sobre eso ya de su opinión sobre mi, le agradezco su compresión y paciencia
