Olivier Hay

Olivier Hay, also known as Luffy or Louffy, is a French professional fighting games player of Teochew descent who specializes in Street Fighter and King of Fighters.

Hay began his Street Fighter career in 2009. He is famous for being the first Street Fighter IV player to bring the character Rose to competitive levels and also for being the first European player to win a tournament for a Street Fighter game at Evolution Championship Series (EVO), being the 2014 champion for Ultra Street Fighter IV.

While he prefers his nickname to be spelt Luffy, some French Internet medias spell his nickname as Louffy to avoid confusion with the One Piece character, whom he took his nickname from. Hay is well known for using a PS1 controller as his controller of choice. Hay has a pet dog named RADIO in which he will dedicate his tournament victories to.

Hay became so dominant in the European Street Fighter scene to the point that he had a tournament dedicated to him called "The Luffy Beatdown Special" in which Hay placed 7th. He left Team Meltdown on January 2, 2016.

On January 1, 2016, Hay left Meltdown after his strong resume with the team. Hay's reason for the departure was that he was offered sponsorships in advance. Hay has confirmed Team YP as his future sponsorship. His personal sponsor is RedBull and he plays for Team ARES.

Notable Street Fighter tournament results Hay has ranked well in a number of Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V tournaments.
