Afrolegends vs. Daigo

Afrolegends (Boxer) vs. Daigo (Ryu)
Evolution 2006
Hyper Street Fighter Anniversary Edition

[@xcaluhbration]

Daigo has the ability to stay calm no matter the situation. THAT alone is an intimidating factor and thats what seperates him from so many ryus out there

[@rang3r34]

HOLY SHIT!! That was amazing!! I've NEVER seen anyone come back from so much damage! I would have thought this was a win in the bag! I guess that's the true power of Daigo......

[@bao1458]

0:28 "Daigo is afraid of super...." 0:33 "I guess not...."

[@MrThetrade]

wow daigo is really calm under pressure.

[@TuHermanaEnTanga7]

He's famous for that.

[@cheesesteakphilly]

That’s his passive ability. JWong has an active one called “The Wong Factor”

[@RockmanLabs]

"Do not try at home"

[@Kamelot19]

Still have this in my Liked videos list for years. Awesome play by Daigo!

[@teh_blazerer]

This was a bigger comeback then his Evo '04 comeback against Justin..

[@kurojin97]

wowww.....that comeback was fuccin stupid SICK!!!! can't believe boxers last combo didn't connect.....and the fact he got umehara dizzy is whoa

[@Deviltriggerfounder]

Oohh! Ooohhh! OOOHHHH!

[@nanashiband]

Hate to sound like a broken record, but WOW what an amazing comeback! Definitely thought Boxer had it in the bag there!

[@Artyom_27]

Just can't get enough of this vid... ^^

[@Unfaadable21]

Insane Daigo! :) this dude was blessed with skill , Props!

[@Dyne]

Impressive and supreme match, with the release of HD remix now. This is definately as most other vids a nice inspiration to get better and hopefully to the level of these players.

[@Piccolodeon]

That was SUPER EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ssgnetwork]

He's just UNSTOPPABLE. BEAST.

[@KoopaKoot]

That crossup hurricane is sick.

[@Mewnoz]

Still gives me chills.

[@XtremePower16]

AMAZING

[@nyccarini]

seems like an intuitive player

[@lookitskazzy]

If you listen closely just after the dizzy, you can clearly hear someone in the background saying, "This nigga..." hahahaha

[@yELoHQ]

Some say they have damaged Daigo. Some say they have beaten Daigo. But how many can say they almost beat Daigo and witnessed an amazing Clutch Victory by him? Very few...

[@JellySlosh]

Holy fuck that comeback was INSANE.

[@darksylux101]

the match turned around in a blink of an eye!

[@jwick1975]

the guys just consistent with a tried and trusted system

[@MexicanHat]

simply awesome :D does anyone know what the announcter said at the end?

[@Br0kenWarrior]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS THE CLOSEST THING THAT IVE EVER SEEN TO GOD MODE!!!! (a mode only reachable by god) ITS BEEN LIKE A MINUTE AND IM STILL IN SHOCK AND AWE!!!!

[@sambomaster89]

wow, what an amazing comeback. I wonder if they'll make another anniversy collection that features SF2THD Remix?

[@zse4rfvgy7uj]

EPIC!

[@JuukaRock]

Good God! That was insane.

[@bloodriotiori]

AMAZING!!!! He meant that daigo ALWAYS manages to come back from near death like that, he's truely the god of 2d!

[@YukiNagato3]

Yes, everything in life is just that simple.

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

Holy fucking shit. This guy has got comeback on reserve. King !

[@280ZedX]

I have the saturn version...Japan import Street Fighter Collections with SSF2Turbo and Alpha 2...and it does not have that sound track. Is there another version?

[@chapa2100]

INCREIBLE DAIGO!

[@Gumby518]

the comeback kid

[@Sousuke15]

Greatest come back of all time

[@LeBlanckL]

Fuck. Gotta love that comeback. Love the crowd at these events too.

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

From perfection to devastation.

[@Defmarz187]

A Win is a win!

[@That1sushidude]

diago always clutchin it like a boss

[@agaifi]

No sir, this is Super Street Fighter II Turbo, this is THE fighting game.

[@ofarone]

Daigo plays the game to perfection full stop. !!

[@ShinOnigashima]

Amen to that dude.

[@Reinami66]

What version of the tatsu does daigo use at 0:49?

[@xDragonInstallx]

This is what happens when you assume your opponent has given up.

[@BattlePigeon]

I can't help but smile at how CLOSE Afrolegend was to defeating him, but then he was totally annihalated inside of 10 seconds (well...8 if you wanna count that Balrog got stunned.)

[@kataztropheemusic]

This match is crazy.

[@TidySammy]

Beast mode enabled!

[@DieOxXiN]

awsome match :D

[@DARKKYUKEN]

Epic

[@teamflyboys]

Yeah, I got what you're saying, it's just that it doesn't matter if he lost or not or who's name was mentioned, Daigo kicks ass at this game.

[@VincentMalloyy]

Whoa!!!

[@Cr1mSiR]

everything epic that could've happened for Daigo happened there, right down to the stone slab in the background shattering

[@HentaiZero]

DAMN!

[@KoopaKoot]

Woah! Daigo, King of dramatic comebacks.

[@khmerboyz1]

too fresh Daigo! WOW!

[@Elileaverust]

really good zone tactic from daigo nice aggression from afro 2nd round thou

[@andy7666]

Ha ha, yes, I heard Daigo was artificially concieved in a Capcom lab (Seth style). He grew in a 'Matrix'-like pod with the CPS2 wired directly to his brain and nervous system.. He was 'born' in time for his first SF2 tournament.

[@SwordXEvil]

so true bro

[@Stigato]

My favorite part of the video was when Ryu threw the haduken.

[@snipermalliki]

The pressure had him

[@wildfire3969]

beginners like me give up mentally when we have almost no life left, but pros like daigo say f it I'm not gonna lose

[@danielfcastro]

wow... captain Daigo!

[@Gyonenchi]

actually "balrog" is his american name, he is m. bison in japan, and thus to eliminate confusion, he is widely referred to as boxer.

[@Anas2k7]

Commentator: CAPTAAAAAAAIN DAAAAAAAAAIGO

[@nicobeldent]

Un grande este muchacho!

[@jande040]

Dayum!

[@Windermarin]

Absolutely amazing comeback. I wonder why Afrolegends didnt do wakeup headbutt...

[@iankobe]

Freakin sick

[@Mugen123456789]

Ohhh waaaaaH!!

[@jamiany]

I've played Afrolegends before, he's a great player. Though, I only played one match with him and it was online. I beat him with Fei Long both rounds and he left after and said it was too laggy. :( I suppose hp-->chicken wing string was too much for him. lawl Still, his Boxer is beastly, and for that I salute him -- regardless of if the game was actually laggy for him or not. It was GGPO after all. I've seen this match like 1 year ago. Decided just now to comment. D:

[@magmatizem]

Daigo is a poker face comeback king.

[@johnBcrew]

OHHH MYYYY GOOOOOODD!! Daigo is the man

[@Gang3rs]

omfg Daigo. How do you do it.... i really thought it was done, man i hate to lose anyone when you only need one hit to win

[@2583060]

Dude this should be called beast unleashed 2

[@dkblade27]

his anger is unpredictable. his anger is calm emotionless anger. when daigo smiles, thats when all life in earth ends.

[@tuhlunksss]

LOL duuude... that was insane...

[@oswald1989]

yeahhh baby

[@Catchafire2000]

Daigo is like the MJ of SF...

[@lancecryor]

wow ryu just kicked it into overdrive in the second round lol. WHAT A COMEBACK

[@Bakeshop040]

It's not reality. It's not pity... ...no one can stop the Beast.

[@mach64blast]

EPIC REVERSAL!!!

[@jeraigumo]

and all 3 versions of SF3 would be nice too

[@BUDDAz1g]

dam ive only seen the ken vs chun li comeback but dam daigo is king of comebacks

[@SikeNawGaming]

@Sportsmanshipfactory Thank you. someone with common sense. Now i can rest.

[@DoubleAsian616]

@PlasmaEXE That is the ancient version of Shoryuken, used to call it "Psychic Shoryuken" because it hits invisible space. Still exist somewhat. Just isn't the same.

[@Maraxusofk]

He was probably charging the corners so when daigo crossed him over, he lost his charge.

[@darkzero10991]

was he trying to tick throw him from that dizzy combo? i dont really play sf2st enough to be able to tell T_T

[@6Diego1Diego9]

who is the best japanese boxer?

[@lilAzNAJ13]

Wow Daigo is the best Ryu player out there right now

[@MadSnake123]

Lol, your comment made me lol, and actually it is so true, it appears that he just blink and bam it was over.

[@grootekoala]

wow dude

[@AnbuSquadItachi]

nice.

[@kaaaaalllllll]

PATENTED DAIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@andy7666]

And the Alphas, and Gem Fighter ^_^

[@MaestroJ34]

@Xgloomshadow You're right, besides Balrog is one of those characters where you need to keep distance. His reach only goes so far. But zoning is a good tactic against closer-ranged characters.

[@Fayejealousy]

Amazing, one second of freedom and he turns the tables completely

[@thaandiesel]

haha holy crap, nice fight, if you can clutch like that for ever, you will be god forever

[@AlmightBlackDragon]

No. He was like SURE-YOU-KEN! (shoryuken)

[@Overlord277]

This video is special because Ryu uses the Hadouken.
