Baby beats Street Fighter V because game is that easy

Ever since its release last month, Street Fighter V has been criticized for a number of problems, including a lack of single-player modes save for a simplistic story mode. People complained that it's so easy, a baby could beat it. But could they really?

YouTube user Papapaint put this theory to the test, and plopped his 6-month-old into his lap with a game controller. Playing as a large character named Birdie, the baby (who is referred to only as "Baby," oddly) takes on Chun-Li and more of the world's greatest fighters.

Turns out Baby is a formidable opponent. With delayed story content on the way from Capcom, perhaps Baby will soon awaken from his nap for a rematch. Only time will tell.
