When Ghandi "switched up his game" towards the end (a.k.a went for a throw), I think that was the most terrifying mindgame of the whole tournament.

Dude's on that level of yomi where his mind isn't clouded with actually knowing how to play lmao

That 5-jab whiff is glorious.

It's both funny and infuriating to see how much fun Gandhi is having vs how little fun FSP is having lol.

I come back and watch this every now and again because, as hilarious as it is, there's a crucial lesson. You don't DESERVE to beat anyone, no matter what you might think about how they play the game. Every win must be earned.

I laughed so hard when he was just mashing standing light punch! His ability to mindfuck his opponents is S tier

Gandhi here, can't believe this video is still getting so many views! :D Shame I can't make it to DHW14 :( *edit* I can't believe how much love you guys have given me and still do give all these years. You're all heroes to me.

Came from @CoreAGaming, wasn't disappointed...

FSP had no chance, this Gandhi guy is pretty good. I think he graduated from the Ken Masters Advanced Flowchart Academy.

rare footage of flowchart ryu actually working in a high level tournament

i think this match deserves to be on the FGC hall of fame, right next to evo #37

To be fair, there were a lot of frame traps, great reads, baits and smart decisions. The fact that they were all accidental shouldn't make a difference.

When a player that never throws finally does a throw it's like the scariest thing

3:30 don't mind me just tagging my favorite part so I can watch it everyday.

top 3 ryu players worldwide 1. Jyobin 2. Ghandi 3. Daigo

Gandhis nod of approval at 5:36... I can't

Gandhi looks like a new player just having fun. Nothing wrong with that. Part of pro play is being able to adjust to your opponent. FSP didn't do that and lost. No point blaming Gandhi.

"Nobody can hurt me without my permission." - Mahatma Gandhi

I don't care what anyone says. This was easily the most entertaining match of the tournament.

Gandhi you're a fucking legend. Glad u won. Proper Ryu play

Almost 10 years passed and this is still gold. The most iconic representation of winner mindset vs loser mindset. Love you forever Ghandi, you're a myth.

I love the facial expressions of the players, too. Ghandi is really enjoying the game and actually cares about winning but it's all in good sportsmanship, while the other guy is just raging. Jesus this is the match of the year and justice has been served :D

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Ghandi is actually far superior to FSP or anybody in the SFIV meta, he was just toying with his opponent and only showing 2% of his true power

The guy is awesome. He's just having fun.

You might think you know what I'm going to do, but that won't help you because even I don't know what I'm going to do! STRANGE ISN'T IT?!

That was a disgraceful Rufus, didn't even shake hands after the game. Salty Scrub at their finest.

5:30 Gandhi reading FSP into the next dimension with that throw.

" Unexpected moves are hard to counter." -Bruce Lee :-)

This is, without irony or hyperbole, my favorite match of all time. It's a case study in adjusting to your opponent and managing nerves.

This video is the perfect example of true scrub behavior (salty and blaming externalities while failing to introspect) vs what's scrubs think is scrub behavior (being an inexperienced player).

“I’m not laughing at FSP, I’m not laughing at anyone” Don’t lie. We all know Ghandi’s impotent wisdom is goddamn hilarious

Gandhi will forever be a legendary and respected meme of a Ryu player. Such a badass... 😎👌

that throw was one of the biggest plot twists in history

FSP deserved to lose. He clearly had more skill and experience but he refused to control his emotions, kept falling for predictable patterns and didn't have to self awareness to stop doing harder combos when he knew Gandhi was mashing uppercut. If he had tighter links, Gandhi wouldn't have been able to punish him as much. Gandhi should get props for joining a competition knowing that he doesn't have much of a chance and seems to just want some fun.

Dude it’s 2020 and this clip is still just as good as it was in 2013 pure gold.

It's like playing rock, paper, scissors against somebody who doesn't have a pinky or ring finger. Paper is not a part of his vocabulary, but you keep throwing scissors at regular intervals and losing.

Lol this is so freaking hilarious. The commentators also had me cracking up.

I go back to watch this every 3-4 weeks. IT'S SO GLORIOUS

I love this. Gandhi's Ryu is exactly how I was trying to play him as a kid. If I grew up playing Street Fighter offline, with no access to the internet or arcade, I would totally play like this and think it's normal. Seeing him have success with it is so satisfying.

0:39 - this double shoryuken setup is genius

Gandhi = Noob FSP = Scrub There's a difference people!

1:26 it was over the moment he panic jumped onto that fireball and said "**** my life." You know you aren't gonna recover when you're making comments like that in the middle of the match. Honestly the insanity of his play and being on stream/stage just helps the anxiety spiral into the point you can't play anymore. Amazing.

High level mind games man shit. Not even Daigo can comprehend Gandhi's play here he's literally unreadable. You might as well be fighting with your eyes closed because you won't be figuring him out.

I haven't visited this video in a while, but I'm just noticing Ghandi actually tried to land the cr. Jab into St. Jab combo several times, he just doesn't have his execution down. Truly a student of the game.

Gandhi,the final form of Diego Umejuarez.

LowTierGod would've destroyed the chair or something if he was in that situation.

FSP should have at least beaten arcade mode before entering tournaments LMFAO

6:53 I just love that. Ghandi is just totally happy. Maybe even knowing he isnt playing the best but still managed to pull it of. And the "pro" Casters just speechless. This moment there is just the best. =D

They can't read your mind if you don't think

Any time you hear the commentator say "yo who is this guy?" you are in for a legendary set.

It's funny the way people say SCRUB RYU. WTF?! I mean, if you found one of this players and LOSE to them, you're the one to blame. There's no such thing as LAME or SCRUB, just lack of patience. If you fall for this kind of play, think about your own game and don't blame the other player. I'm glad this Ryu won, he was having a lot of fun while playing; that's what games are for! :D

I almost cried laughing at the commentators trying to not show any emotions after he lost LMFAO

Funny how the only fraud in this match was FSP

This is my favorite SF match of all time. Gandhi destroying FSP with pure randomness, FSP raging hard and F-Word and Logansama losing their minds, it's amazing.

Seven years later and this still cracks me up lol.

"Oh, he beats the dive kick with a crouching light punch..." Logan predicting SFV

3:31 = BEST MOMENT

"when nothing remains, everything is equally possible" - this guy, nodding sagely

I demand more videos of Ghandi. That guy is my new favorite pro player.

"YOU CAN'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IF _I_ DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO"

This is real Street Fighter.

I'm sorry, but so many years later this is still my favorite SF vid. It still gives me a good chuckle.

think i played this guy in bronze in sfv, except somehow the next 10 guys were him too

this is fucking inspirational

This is the match that retired FSP from SF4... HAHAHAHA

5:29 the whole game was a mindgame to make this moment happen.

Gandhi is the reason they made whiffed DPs get crush countered in SFV.

Most Ryu thing ever. No flash, all fundamentals. This guy is Ryu at the start of the journey.

Godlike Ryu, now i know why everybody wanted to see him against Daigo .. damnn! Those combos

OMG, I just can't stop watching this!!!😆 I mean, Gandhi *is* using a consistent strategy, and also he knows the basic paper-rock-scissors of basic attacks! He knows people are usually using fierce/roundhouse attacks exclusively... Never forget the fundamentals of Street Fighter™! My only regret is not being able to hear what FSP was saying the whole time!😁

CoreAGaming shows that you don't need FADC combos or any difficult techniques to show you are good player. Having a strong basis of fundamentals and being tilt-proof are the ones that will make you a better player.

Why are they dogging the new guy so hard? He obviously understands the basics and is using them quite well, spacing, interrupting, zoning. Are only professionals allowed to play the game?

The 00:20 DP is really the moment when the casters understood what and who they were dealing with.

supremely based over 10 years later

Almost a decade later and this is still the most legendary sf4 set ever played

5:29 Untechable. There was no escape from this throw.

Just found this video. As a intermediate Tekken player, at eternal ruler and play multiple characters at an ok level. You have no idea how many times I've gotten wrecked by this type of play by someone in green to yellow ranks lol. Absolutely love how he was having fun throughout the whole set

Anyone here after watching Excellent Adventures with F Word?

upvote this if you still watch it in 2015

Man moving at StarCraft inputs per second

This video encompasses what makes fighting games so great

You can see a little bit of FSP's soul leave his body each time he eats the hadoken

dude. gandhi was playing sfv there

3:31 that team laugh.

Whenever Im Feeling down, I watch this video to bring a smile to my face

Back again for my yearly rewatch. It's like fine wine.

Street Fighter 6 is less than a week away. I hope Ghandi makes his return a decade later.

Very condescending from the announcers. Gandhi turned his opponent’s strength into their weakness, embarrassed them, and had fun doing it. He should be applauded!

Almost forgot to watch this today.

Seeing the commentators sulk in their elitism towards Gandhi was such an icing on the cake. This never gets old

I always get hyped whenever ghandi lands his crazy shenanigans. XD

Gandhi is fool proof he had nothing to lose reguard of his play style. Kinda just proofs strats don't mean anything if u can't deal with the most basic practical things. FSP, Gandhi did nothing wrong u should of shaked his hand.

My favourite part of this clip is FSP’s facial expressions cause you can just see the frustration on his face

And here I am... still enjoying this video lol

Insane dummy by Gandhi at 4:47 whiff fast recovery normal on jump in to empty jump, low into DP. Flawless strategy, he knew FSP was close to mentally broken so he went for the knock-out.

I recently fought FSP. I never knew him outside of the Gandhi debacle, but before our match I shook his hand and said that I 'love his videos' (Just wanted him to feel notable and I respected him). He looked mournfully at his fight-stick and said: ''Yeah.. Some videos are more popular than others.'' I honestly think he just had a bad day. I beat him, but he didn't make it easy. FSP is a solid player.

This is actually really educational when trying to get new people into fighting games.

still the greatest sf4 match. i watched this so many times throughout the years

I come back to watch this video during each EVO and this shit makes me laugh harder each and every damn time😂😂😂
