I think it’s safe to say that Zeku settled on calling his new group the Striders.

He has Strider's cartwheel style forward flip.

I'm surprised nobody noticed the fanfare in Zeku's theme that's just the opening fanfare to Strider Hiryu's MvC theme.

No wonder Guy is the serious one. Greetings, i am Zeku. I like wristwatches and Potato chips XD

His theme would fit well if Japan came out with their own version of The Price is Right.

Strider Zeku

Ibuki: "I wanna normal boyfriend that isn't a ninja and blah blah teenage girl crap blah..." Max: "..........'K."

His horizontal slash kick thing even makes the "Swching" noise.

And just like that, Max never touched SFV until AE

This means that both young and old Zeku are two separate beings how curious.

Ibuki sure is thirsty..

Is it just me, or is Zeku's theme the best one in the game so far? It's so groovy.

man I really hope they make a new Strider game where you play as Zeku, just get Double Helix again & let them make Strider 2 (2018) featuring Zeku from the Street Fighter series

Welcome to Zeku's checklist T.Hank "Ho" [X] Guy's stylish normals [X] Strider costume [X] Gen's Ultra [X] Ibuki's kick-thingy [X]

Such a charming design for the old creeper. Like him alot

great design there, placing the game alerts in a spot where they cover up the first part of the dialogue for the entirety of it being on screen.

"It's funny how you practice combos for so long, then forget everything almost immediately." Ain't it though? Good to know it even happens to the pros.

I love how smooth his animations are.

I love Zeku's theme song.

Ibuki want the Z

Yo Max, you gotta swap out Strider’s MVCI theme for Zeku’s if that’s possible. That’d be a pretty dope mod.

Pretty sick seeing Guys Master in Street Fighter. A surprise he wasn’t a cameo unless you count the red silhouette in the beginning.

Zeku's fighting style is reminiscent of Cannon Dancer. A game that was made/designed by the same guy that did Strider.

Max absolutely murdered those trials! You seemed pretty ecstatic trying those combos out.

I hear a wolf while Zeku is thinking about what to call his Orginization.....Jon Talbain?

such a sick theme song

Man they should've had 20 trials for Zeku instead of 10.

Thanks for the combo reel at the end!

Look, Ibuki. You're looking for a regular boyfriend. Girls call me boring. I see that we might be a match!

I like how Zeku's kicks make the sound of Strider's sword

its great that his kick-blades sounds juuust like the Cipher C:

This new fighting technique? It could only be the Legendary Strider style!! XD

You are right the last scene of this story looks interesting, I thought Guy was inside this story too but his Bushinryu master has the Strider transformation.

Max: "This is easy shit." *performs a 28 hit combo the first try. Me: "... kay..."

This guy screams classic anime. I'm getting some serious lupin the third vibes from this dude

My biggest hope from Zeku's appearance here is seeing more "Bushinryu Style" fighters in Street Fighter in the future. :D Also, am I the only finding it hard to gauge Ibuki's actual "type of man"? O_o

“You know what? Let me do MY version of this combo.” *literally just adds a jump in*

Amazing Zeku character like akuma and his theme music EPIC!!

Even his story is really funny. I clearly see now. He is excellent character. I like Zeku's theme and his fighting style reminds me mix of Gen-Old form and Guy-Young form. I'm sure you can do a lot of interesting things with this character. Bravo Max, it was an extremely fascinating sight, certainly your combo is best.

Akuma, Menat & Zeku....the BEST of Season 2!!!

I want to see Marq teddy pick up Zeku

I like how his V-Trigger just gives him Strider's Magic Series from MvC.

ZEKU: "We will be watching from the shadows.... where we will be playing classic old-school Capcom games to pass the time." Yeah, I know. I couldn't help but notice you, Guy and Maki lurking in the shadows with your brightly-colored fashionable ninja outfits and sneakers. Maybe you should pull out the lawn chairs and get a little sun while you're at it.

His theme is so dope.

I gotta say I am really digging Zeku. the whole creator of Strider thing works for him . He got some good sets ups, his CA is super linkable to a ton of moves in basics and others ....gotta find them as well catch opportunity to hit it at key moments in a bait move. I think he is 90% solid minus a couple things that I can bet capcom gonna fix/alter. Old Zeku: his overhead cross up elbow def needs some tweaking to hit in right spot during a heated match to strike solid even if timed right it misses on some moments if not a lot. old Zeku main issue I see is the unneeded extra animation on his special up slash after performed. It does it even when blocked and can leave him 1 frame open . I think it should be done only on a knock back hit only ...cause it has the time for it to happen and reset yourself. Maybe a few really good extra Target combos for good measure but that is all I can see of old ninja version thus far. young Zeku: his run needs a good cancel. A really good cancel....so it can lead better into different hits more solid instead of a slide you can get caught big time. Adjust those and he def 100% for me anyway. lol I am favoring old Zeku ATM and keynote....learn one solid better than try to just jump in trying to learn both versions at same time if you want to nail him better learning to use him.

He looks super dope actually

So, do they ever explain why he can suddenly revert to an earlier part in his life?

Kinda cool that he even has the jump

Digging the new Steam handle, Max

Max makes it look so easy

Someone pls make a spike from cowboy bebop skin over young zeku pls!

Capcom wanted me to create a homage to the Strider game, me choosing to put the “The Raid in Kazakhstan” at the end of the musical loop to hint at the creator of the Striders.

I love how flashy this dude is

I think Zeku's japanese voice actor is Vegeta. That means he is Guy, Strider and Vegeta. Thats metal.

You can hear the falchion when he does his slash kick

He changes places with Guy. It's a ninja trick! Lol

i have already seen this video, but i get an notification 15 minutes ago and it says he just uploaded it. KZfaq LOGIC!

It took me like a hour to go through those training missions.

When you see this wearing a wristwatch and eating chips. I CAN BE THAT GUY TOO.

That Ibuki salt at the end lol

I am really digging his theme though, that Asian funk is A++

theme is pretty dope that's all i need to know

Jiraiya's voice

If i someday learn to ninjutsu, i'm going to do that goofy forward flip that Strider does.

His theme is godlike.

While it isn't gonna make me active in sfv, I can say zeku is definitely my favorite character to play as.

so Zeku was once Strider Hiryu very interesting i didn't know that

I think they took inspiration on Answer from Guilty Gear for Story Mode Zeku. Ninja Businessmen is now a thing.

he likes potato chips XDD and I didn't expect Strider Hiryu here

His theme song is fire af

"......K!....." - Max 2017 I laughed way too hard there lol

This guy does some scerious damage. 2 hits and a full combo and your opponent is toast.

I wonder how things would go if Guy or Maki showed up in Season 4 and how they'd react to seeing Zeku, given both of them practice Bushinryu as well.

Did anybody else noticed that the girl's silhouette on Zeku's Story Mode actually looks like Linn Kurosawa, from AVP game? :)

DiGi Valentine has a point, Ibuki really is just a boy crazy comic relief now...

He looks like if strider hiryu and Lars did fusion

his music has a real Lupin the Third vibe

Max I know you really wanna play Strider but it just ain't authentic if they don't go PAAH with every attack.

but that was like 2 fights? thats story?

6:59 capcom is watching

Striders!!!!!!!!!!

Jiraiyasama is the voice of Zeku I knew it sounded familiar

Crazy how trial 9 is a straight up Marvel combo

What if Zeku was the original strider? In the far far future of capcom canon Zeku's style is adopted by the striders or something

This guy reminds me of Bang... Maybe it's the hair?

He got guy's fighting stance cool

I really wish they had more of a challenge section like gg rev 2, with more than 10 basic af combos...

im gonna buy the arcade edition just to play this guy almost lol

His super Reminds me a lot of strider's ragnarok

As much fun as Zeku is I feel like he might be more trouble online against some higher tier characters than he's worth. Gonna stick with him though because he's the coolest out of all the newcomers in SFV for sure.

One day he'll fine a name he and himself can agree on.

So when bison attacked where were they also really short story with a pretty funny character.

I didn't think Ibuki was that thirsty.

Spetznaz! Borscht! Sergei Fedorov!

Well it's not Cody but a Guy bushin character that looks like Hiryu is pretty freaking awesome.

LMAO "K" LOVE U MAX

OMG I SAW GUY’S STANCE😱😱

Bro his last two trials are hard as hell for me! How'd you figure it out so fast?

STRIDERS!

Zeku is Ibuki's master.
