While any character in a fighting game can theoretically win a tournament, it is rare to see low-usage fighters take the crown—especially if they have a bad match-up against “top tier” options. Those statistics mean nothing to Street Fighter legend Snake Eyez, however, who piloted Zangief to a huge win in the Capcom Pro Tour Online event for North America West over top SF6 talent and a terrible matchup on Aug. 28.
Snake Eyez has been actively competing in Street Fighter since the days of Street Fighter IV, and he has almost always remained loyal to The Red Cyclone when able. He has swapped off of Zangief or picked up secondaries in the past, but in SF6 he has made a name for himself as arguably the best wrestler in the world despite no big tournament appearances to his name.
