The Best of RZR Latif, in my opinion the best C.Viper player out there, 2nd place overall at EVO2K11, overall winner of SBO qualifiers, 2nd at Devastation and 4th at Revelations and SoCal Regionals.

Viper's a highly technical character but she's awesome when you can put her combos, mixups and resets together to their best effect.
I remember Latif was doing endless battles with a bunch of players and was on like a 100+ win streak. He stopped because he was getting tired XD
one of my alltime favorite players (beasts)
in fact the viper is one of the hardest chars in the game to master, it becomes even more great.
I'll never forget Latif's performance at EVO, I went crazy watching all those eliminations on the stream
What's funny is, before Latif, I don't remember anyone complaining about Viper.
1:42 = Fear in Physical Form
By the end of it, you know exactly what was running through his opponent's head, "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
Latif's sponsor changes like, every 20 minutes I swear. Every time I see his name, a new abbreviation is in front of it.
The most entertaining sf matches by far...
This guy brought me into watching SSF4, I'm not a SSF4 player, Fighting games - not for me, but I love to watch them.
Latif = Beast. His amazing Viper play really puts me in awe.
The vs Banana Ken match was not only a "best of Latif" moment, but was one of LiangHuBBB's "funny and cool moments"
AWESOME
Lord. It seems once Latif gets rolling, he is terrifying to fight against, and near impossible to stop. Those mixups are deadly.
Actually, Latif shows up to promote fighting game tournaments in Saudi. He showed up at an arcade called Voltage 7 and faced off against the local scene as well as players from Kuwait and the UAE. He won the tournament but they didn't make it easy for him ;)
Sad his name isnt rememebered as one of the greats. Dude was such a good viper
Brilliant mindsets and technique.
God I love him, he makes the matches so entertaining than those boring footsies matches. C.Viper is the best!
those meterless seismo fadc cancels... damn
God that double crouching hard punch is so crazy lol
It one thing for someone to face a character that isn't used that often. It's another thing to face that character when someone knows how to use them effectively. That's why F.Champ Dahlsim and Latif's Viper are so deadly. Those guys picked up the unconventinal/low/mid tier characters and found all of their strenghts. Until others can do the same, they will be damn near unstopable forces. I really enjoy watch latif's viper. It keeps the game fresh IMO.
C. Viper just might be one of the most UNDERRATED characters in SSFIV ever XD
WOW .. Latif's fast ..glad i got a pic with him when i was at the evo . :)
nice stuff
Latif is that dude!
good god c viper!!!!!!!!!!! in tears
Flash metroid and Marn and Uryo invented Viper back in the SF4 days. But Latif was the smartest, because he sticked with her and now... the character loyalty payed him back bigtime. She was contained in SF4 by Sagat, and in Super by the chargers, but since AE... she almost unstoppable, if you know your homework with her.
As a matter of fact yes I would thank you - I have many bison students but never had a viper b4
Great vid, only thing I would change is the sounds on each of the clips were different, had to constantly readjust my audio. Loved it though, really minor complaint, still think it was awesome : )
@0ShinAkuma0 100% agree. Viper is an insanely ambiguous and complicated character to play as and to fight against. Without an equally insane, ambiguous and complex brain behind the controller, she's nothing special. Lucky for Latif, he's one of the few players who can actually keep up with Viper's mixups and overwhelming momentum based offence and the product is an absurdly powerful play style. Latif can take 1 tiny mistake, capitalise and obliterate you in the blink of an eye. Godlike.
@KTC12490 Latif and Wolfkrone are the only Viper players placing high with her in tournaments. That's their hard work paying off for them, nothing more.
It's true about C. Viper, in that she has a limited number of specials. However, they are extremely nuanced and change properties depending on the inputs. On top of that, timing is quite strict on C. Viper since she relies on Super Jump Cancels and Thunder Knuckle cancels for combos and mix-ups. The implication of those being that queuing inputs doesn't work most of the time.
Always wanted to be able to use Viper like this. Never came close.
Latif is dope
ahh such a good viper! i hate i dont have enough patience to learn her D:
Latif. The reason why I play C.Viper.
This guy is nuts them light kicks into feints is so hard to do hes a fucking beast
That is some maaaad button mashing skills. Props to him.
watched Latif own Daigo in evo last year.. job well done i say!
@Tuuvas Haha, I appreciate the thought man, but I'm not that good at this game, I can't even get above 3500 PP, I gotta stick to making these videos for real top players.
Since Viper is based off of Capt. Commando, it would make sense to say she doesn't belong in this game. However that feels like a cop out. She's brought a unique element to the world of street fighter.
MIND = BLOW
So... when we gonna get a "Best of ShinAkuma"?
WTF
1:48
viper is one of the best characters when she's under control in the right hands.
@Theb0x lol please educate me, just when did mike ross get 3rd place at gods garden? and kim/fubarduck are part of the japanese scene for street fighter 4 and its only natural for them to place in tournies, if you are going to say otherwise then i could refute latif representing america for street fighter 4 using the same logic.
So high level! Easily one of thee top sf4 players
Epic… Wolfkrone and Latif…
Pure Fury, Awesome Latif =D
@0ShinAkuma0
It isn't that people think Latif or Wolfkrone's success is based solely upon the fact that they use Viper, it's just that Viper has so many tools that matches become increasingly in her favor, and become seemingly mindless guessing games. Viper requires very strong execution, but once that threshold is reached she is almost unfair. Look at what Kindevu did at Canada Cup, he took out top players not because he put hard work into viper, but because they guessed wrong.
@KumonPhonics couldn't agree more! she does like nearly 600 damage with one ex meter!not to mention alot of her mixups are safe on block. capcom didnt nerf viper in 2012 imo they made her different and in ways better.
No he studies in Arizona so therefor he's currently living there, it's just a scholarship to study college then he'll be back to Saudi Arabia... you can ask him yourself if you get the chance to talk to him.
@0ShinAkuma0 well the point is that nothing much has changed, a couple of japanese still keeping going to the us and place first in almost every single major while on the other hand, the americans barely make it to the second or third round in japan. momochi said in singapore that playing overseas is 10 times more difficult and is what completes a player.
Best of best!!!
@AeolusMN Yes, I do believe that he is this good by having talent amongst other things as well. All this combined puts him in the TOP 1% of SSF4 players in the world, as well as the TOP C. Viper player in the world but this of course is just my opinion.
how the hell does latif do all of those feints so rapidly?
@0ShinAkuma0 I think vipers placement in the tier list is like 95% specific player skill .
sick
1:42 almost gave me a heart attack
Latif today is the best of USA
2 years ago we got the end of Justin Wong SSF4 era.
latif number one
Shin are you officially back???
If so... here is Homer Simpson for you man -----> ( 8^(I)
@feraljim I find Latif is DEFINITELY one of the most interesting people to watch. (Of course, as Viper) He has a ton of tricks and you never really know what's going to come out.
goddamn his viper is so fucking incredible !!!
@Morden101 yeah, reaching 10k BP seems like a really tough feat for me already, not to mention 30 thousand! and that PP man.
@FFA300 Xbox is a couple of frames faster than the PS3 version.
@darkneolord Imo, if you learn how to play Viper on a top level. You should be able to kick ass in the same way. Btw, tell me how does one character do not "Belong" in a game?
Uh yeah when they live in the US. You don't see people saying Justin is a Chinese person so he's not apart of the US group.
Latif is known for kicking ass while living in the States not in Saudi Arabia therefore he's apart of the US group.
also it's much more interesting to see viper vs ken matches.
@0ShinAkuma0 I would pay to see that! :)
@metallicaband No I quite agree with you; C. Viper is like Capcom's MvC expy because at the time, MvC3 was a long shot to end the long shots (more so considering they lost the license for Marvel characters). I wouldn't be surprised if they just said "stuff it" and decided to put her in SF4 as a callback to their MvC games, with the same level of execution and combo potential.
He took down Wong, Tokido, Fuudo, Poongko, and THE BEAST!? Kill me...
@FFA300 Personal preferences? Maybe they heard something? But don't worry, they all play on PS3s at EVO.
I played against him on my old 360 and I got GLORIOUSLY destroyed. I got one round in about 5 games because I’m positive he let me win. The attacks were non stop.
@0ShinAkuma0 plus the fact that Viper hasn't changed much from Vanilla to AE
He lost to Fuudo at EVO that year, after taking down pretty much every other big name/legend to get to the grand final. I think this match with Fuudo was after? Said something along the lines of a redemption tourny or something at the bottom.
Dat backstep...
viper is too damn good
Latif's viper scares the hell outta me, and I don't even own a PS3 of Xbox...
@martyr84 Can you list some?
1:00 anyone notice he throws the contoller?
Viper becomes a very strong character once you know all her special "assets"
6:53 Tokido has been a Limonade!!! lol
@IlIl00 Nah, Bison is actually my second character after Akuma. Bison is VERY underrated, he's not as good as people think, solid upper mid-tier at best. I don't mind Balrog... I don't wanna say who they are, I wanna stay neutral. PM me and I'll tell you who they are. lol :)
Why is LATIF soooo damn GOOD? Its not fair...GOD shouldve distrubuted all that TALENT evenly amongst the people of SF...its just not fair. ; )
5:36 C.viper says F*ck off!!! xD
Needs moar Latif crowd surfing
@neontetra1000 Actually no, you can't say that about other characters. The only people placing high with her are people who have CONSISTENTLY used her since vanilla. There are no top players that just 'pick her up'.
That's mostly player skill in the video. Some people can't deal with it and that's fine. But until top players simultaneously 'pick her up' and start placing high, complaints can and will be filed under saltiness.
@0ShinAkuma0 it is hard work paying off but viper is still godlike.
Nice!!!!!!!
Is he the only one to get grand master with a character ?
how he did'nt won Evo?
@DaigosFriend Haha, nice novelty account.
Damn!
Viper is probably one of the hardest characters to master. To do the instant flame kick, her cancels, all need precise hand motions. For the flamekick to actually come out as a cross, the player needs to memorize distances for every single character in the game. Without the high reward for this mastering, viper would be useless. Imagine learning to do a dangerous combo that if dropped can instantly change the stream of the game and only gives you half the damage of a BnB akuma hurricane combo.
I never see viper online. I forgot she was in the game
Yesterday I managed to do Seismo -> Seismo feint -> Seismo -> Seismo feint -> Seismo... I still got a LOOOONG way to go xD I wish I was asian-good as Latif. He is my favorite player.
ShinAkuma isn't the player, he made a compilation of Latif his best moments.
Viper is very good, just takes more excecution to bring out her good stuff.
Jeez latif this latif that - latifs been my apprentice since back in vanilla - aauuuaahh(stretch) no need for applause ppl - i know I can't help being me
I have faith in him after seeing this madness. I don't know fuck all about Street Fighter because I rage quit, but I know true talent anywhere.
Was that Blanka cosplaying Akuma?!
This character is and always will be broken until those burn kicks become negative.
Stunning characters with 1 meter. Doing 45-50% damage of shanangins, a million and 1 ways to land your ultra. Latif's good but Viper's bs helps cover mistakes when you just ground pound your way to victory.
@0ShinAkuma0 nobody played her correctly til later on, but i see what you're getting at.
