I'm not really sure what there is to discuss about this... Maybe something to be said about the quality of AI in the game.
But I just thought it was interesting and it'd be fun to share with you all.

The end is a real nail biter.

EDIT: No, this video is not fake. The headbutt special move doesn't require the joystick. The baby is holding the button, then when he lets go the move comes out.

oh my god

 

[Acquiescence]

But I was told that SFV failed commercially because it didn't attract the casual audience.

 

[Synth]

And THIS is why we need our fucking arcade mode back.

 

[Stabby McSter]

"GET 'EM, BABY!"

lol, like the baby doesn't have a name

 

[Maligna]

But I was told that SFV failed commercially because it didn't attract the casual audience.

Should have been first post.

 

[Dennis]

That is hilarious. The ultimate casual game.

 

[liquidtmd]

And THIS is why we need our fucking arcade mode back.

B-b-but the fighting game community told me I should stop asking for it and Capcom should stop catering for us dirty casuals?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Omg a 6 month old baby beat it??! I thought it was easy but damn lol Capcom come look at this baby beating your game.He only was alive for 6 months!

 

[Abriael]

He plays better than I do.

 

[Dice//]

go baby!

 

[georly]

"GET 'EM, BABY!"

lol, like the baby doesn't have a name

Hahaha that was great. They probably just didn't want to say his name for the whole internet to hear. Plus, "Get em baby" is pretty funny.

 

[RangerBAD]

Moves coming out without touching the stick. This baby is amazing.

 

[echoshifting]

lmao

I was cheering for that baby by that last shot

 

[lupe121283]

wasnt the arcade mode for Street Fighter 4 also beat by just using Strong Kick repeatly?

 

[Peltz]

Adorable and so satisfying when he gets that last hit.

 

[Kaako]

Ayyyyyy all chips on 'Baby' for Evo 2K16 champ!

 

[Y2Kev]

Does the baby have a name? Is that his father? He's like, go, baby! lol

 

[schlongdog]

Better than Jason Oestricher

 

[Maligna]

And THIS is why we need our fucking arcade mode back.

At least it's attracting a new generation of fighting game enthusiasts!

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

This is poetic.

 

[Spotty Ren]

I wonder which of him or MIOM | Baby will win an EVO first...

 

[DownGrader]

Finally, a fighting game to suit my skills!

Spoiler

 

[Newtype-001]

Fam what

 

[Acquiescence]

Was waiting for him to say "Nobody puts baby in the corner," but the baby never got cornered so...

 

[SSReborn]

Daigo better watch out.

 

[Bronetta]

The Baby

 

[RoboPlato]

Hahaha, awesome

Youtube comment "that baby's been in development for as long as the game has"

Amazing

 

[Emperor Bohe]

This baby wasn't alive when the game was 1st revealed

 

[Maligna]

Moves coming out without touching the stick. This baby is amazing.

I believe that's the EX version of Birdie's headbutt special, which just requires you to hold two buttons for a moment. No joystick required.

 

[Zomba13]

The story mode is just terrible. I mean, ignoring what you think of the art in the storyboards or the length. The fights are just stacked in your favour, full meters, one round, the actual worst AI in a fighting game. It's almost like Capcom didn't even want there to be fights but thought about how short the stories were and decided they might as well put something in to force load times and extend the length of the mode.

 

[New002]

Hahaha, awesome

Youtube comment "that baby's been in development for as long as the game has"

Amazing

Lol

 

[Gibbon]

Hmm. I don't get how this baby can do Birdie's QCF+PP motion without actually touching the stick (at 1:01).

Edit : nevermind, as Maligna said its the EX Headbutt. Or Bull Horn or whatever.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Does the baby have a name? Is that his father? He's like, go, baby! lol

It's obviously a random baby.

 

[RangerBAD]

No way. I will only accept telekinesis as an answer.

Spoiler

Thought that might be the case, but I didn't know for sure.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Goddamn!

 

[RoboPlato]

It's obviously a random baby.

Description says it's his kid. I figured they may have just done it for privacy reasons or just because saying "Go baby" is pretty funny.

 

[ChoklitCow]

I'm sure people will now argue that this game basically "beats itself" like the Mario Party levels where pushing no buttons means you will win as the AI will suicide.

The reality is that we should be finding this infant sponsors.

 

[BassForever]

This baby wasn't alive when the game was 1st revealed

That's crazy to think about

 

[Feral Gingy]

That baby is going places.

 

[Jonbo298]

My first thought. I played too much MK in the past.

That baby is going places in life already. Just you wait.

edit: changed to a not so big image

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

EVO when?

But I was told that SFV failed commercially because it didn't attract the casual audience.

And THIS is why we need our fucking arcade mode back.

/shrug

Expect this overshadowing every month around patch time and a crescendo at EVO.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Description says it's his kid. I figured they may have just done it for privacy reasons or just because saying "Go baby" is pretty funny.

I was joking...and yes, "Go Baby!" is funny to hear.

 

[Maligna]

Hmm. I don't get how this baby can do Birdie's QCF+PP motion without actually touching the stick (at 1:01).

Edit : nevermind, as Maligna said its the EX Headbutt.

It's the special where you hold a button.

Edit: Ah, I see you've since read that. Nevermind this useless comment.

 

[RoboPlato]

I was joking...

Ah, sorry, I'm very tired today >_>

 

[Kaako]

I think it's fair to say that The Baby is on performance enhancement drugs. There's clearly an empty Oxycontin bottle on the desk. How else would you explain The Baby going HAM on the AI?


Edit

lmao at the shot in the description

Yoo ahahaha yesss.

 

[matrixman92]

This reminds me of that one ssx game, couldn't you beat it without touching the controller

 

[pizzacat]

lmao at the shot in the description

 

[phantomspiker]

Holy shit, soooo good.

 

[InsaneTiger]

I don't think this is any sort of indictment of the game. I think it is very cute. I'm sure you could Google, "Child/baby beats X game." and find plenty of videos.

Still very cute.
