Recommended in 2021... Absolutely no complaints (Golden SF days)

[@Thegearsofwar2268]

Epic win, thanks man

[@jtttt]

they will have livestreams of EVO.. or is it different this year? they'll upload the matches to evo2kvids after the tournament is over though.

[@vamp3s]

Can someone explain the difference between Ryu's fireballs and Viper's burn kicks or Bison's scissor kicks or Fei's Rekka's or Balrog's dash punshes or Honda's Headbutt, etc? The 1st one is considered "spamming" by scrubs, but they don't have a problem with the others. lol

[@VirtueSeven]

What brand is that red and white stick at the beginning of the show?

[@peck324]

Damn Pikagoma played against all three great players and got some wins out of it he is GDLK ^_^

[@HebigamiBogard]

He's a very humble man especially for such a professional.

[@teabonezen]

Why does Daigo sit so far away from Negi? TS, would you be covering the upcoming EVO tournament?

[@cabronazo45]

Lmao. You sir, made my day

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

I think this is the most revealing "personality" I've seen of Daigo ever since, well,since I've known about him, which is about 4 years!

[@megalopolis4]

12:42 He is explaining what the advantage of doing fireballs forever like that is. He says Ryu is more advantageous against Cody when they get meters, so he never quits fireball games in that situation.

[@yahoo1o1]

daigo has said in interviews. that before he was selfish, he only thought about winning. but now he feels a responsibility to introduce newer players to the FGC, and its no longer about just him. he still wants to win but thats not the only thing anymore. hence why he has changed, he is a lot more welcoming now, the smiling etc.. you will never see that no emotions daigo again, he is a different person today with different goals

[@megalopolis4]

10:59 Daigo missed the ultra because there was no extra button that allows him to press three punches at once on the controller. After that, he was laughing because the opponent tried to take an advantage of Daigo's miss.

[@CatSkinCap]

I think at 14:10, the guy next to Daigo said he doesn't know many Ryu players, and Daigo actually mentions Jyobin LOL.

[@izidor]

7:06 what is he pressing? what buttons. hes not pressing only 1 button per attack...anyone has a clue? im curious how this works, is there a guide somewhere to learn that :o?

[@KellysterOverdrive]

LOL Daigo has changed so much... He's laughing and making jokes now while playing... even though his outlook in playing has changed a theory of mine thinks that change has slightly contributed to his many loses since ae...but back in vanilla days a casual match would mean like life or death for him... good thing he's showing much more enjoyment physically rather than just mentally...

[@rootofminusone]

rare footage of Daigo actually talking

[@vamp3s]

Most likely because of the lag. I do remember Air said something about it when he was in Japan last year, and that he could tell if he was playing someone who wasn't really in Japan.

[@chainblade92]

I like that the girl is sitting there like "I have no idea whats going on"

[@soranohasu]

he laughed and said "Wow, the challengers are trying to kill me seriously." it means EL Fuerte often makes accidents, so do Abel and Seth. if there are mistakes in my English, i'd like to apologize.

[@320speed]

I would of loved to see the faces of these anonymous players before and after their underestimated matches against The "Beast" Umehara....

[@javalavadingdong]

Daigo hasn't used Gen has he? 0_o And atm, the top players are Seth, Cammy and Adon... don't see Daigo using any of those...

[@DashingRave]

hmm, I'm very interested in the girl that plays Ibuki to Daigo's right...

[@SeNioRHaMoD]

what (Kiko shokshoka) means ?

[@Putridprudential]

plinking makes 1 frame links easier, it's really difficult to do 1 frame links consistently so plinking is really helpful because it makes them 2 frames, though only if you have a stick ( not sure about pads )

[@kobedoe1]

Diago normally double taps. Its basically just as it sounds. Gives him two inputs instead of one when trying to hit links. Plinking is input glitch that only works in SF4. Plinking is better then double taping because there is no gap in frames between the input, whereas double tap, there is a 1 frame gap. But since plinking only works in sf4, its better to use double tap if play other games because double taps works in every game.

[@Phidias]

Who's that girl? just another spice added into the video?

[@megalopolis4]

8:16 Daigo says "That's it." The guy in right replies "That was so barely". Daigo: Let me give one more chance. The opponent character was like "All men are created equal"( means El Fuelte is such a random character that there is no skill or fun to beat him)

[@SomethingWong]

rare footage of Daigo actually human.

[@Hamppdur]

And who is this girl?

[@flamingleg]

today i learned that the language of awkwardness is universal

[@OzzyKingofKings]

That Ume-EX-Shoryu at ~7:30, and Daigo's just like "... yarimashita." Funniest thing I've seen all day.

[@mocacola120]

that platform is that?

[@arlikmaldo]

WTF Daigo is Human!!!

[@shelneselie7532]

Yes!!!!

[@faad3557]

hi, you can learn more about plinking and generally everything else you'd want to know about street fighter if you type in youtube: vesperarcade tutorial. It's a very long and concise tutorial that includes plinking lessons in the latter chapters.

[@malakasotithelopoulos4305]

man i like this daigo much more way more relaxed and he deserves it

[@toge64]

yarimashita?

[@1337Boredness]

he looks happy

[@Kjaiao]

The description .. read it :>

[@david.fit9]

14:10 does he talk about jyobin?

[@phatbastard0alkaline]

called plinking. makes links easier, especially 1 framers. first it was a bugg , but capcom kept it in the game. look it up.

[@Chaldean4life91]

is Pikagoma a girl? ive heard many time that she is.

[@blahblahgdp]

I feel like it might be plinking but im not sure

[@ChordN]

actually a lot of people that a ryu using the topanga account is daigo. same goes for tokido.

[@sh1ttykitty]

I'm sure Topanga means something in Japan, but I can't help but think that they just really REALLY like Boy Meets World...

[@OzzyKingofKings]

Yep. やりました.

[@faad3557]

is she high?

[@etiristri]

And losing?

[@DoubleInputs]

Hahaha please someone translate what he's saying about jiyobin at ~14:00

[@sabishiihito]

It must be nice to have a perfect height table to play on so your stick doesn't move.

[@Samson814]

They just play the training stage and it looks like they are playing in a training room all thats missing is the stripeds...geeze they dont mess around.

[@inigoilarduya]

Daigo seems to be a nice guy!

[@D4Gamerz]

Cody @ 13:48, UmadBro!?

[@TheSp0rki]

daigo training online so close to evo? seems like hes handicapping himself

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

lol my bad then, by the way you stated your comment, it seemed like you where also focused on her

[@teabonezen]

Daigo should've sat really close her, his right elbow looks like it needed a boob pad rest from all that button mashing. Abel is seriously a good char with the rolls and command throws, the question is why aren't more pro players using ABEL??? I do hope Daigo drops Ryu after EVO, there is no longer a top player besides him that uses Ryu and there has to be a good reason for that. I hope Daigo switches to Gen or at least Gouki as his main.

[@peck324]

13:40 Daigo: No. Cody player got rejected right there lol

[@megalopolis4]

5:40 Someone is asking what about El Fuelte. Daigo answers it is also SHORI: simple process. lol

[@LeeGinSing]

Wow, I've never seen Daigo smile or laugh...

[@Crit-Chance]

Not at all, man. It's just her personality. As far as culture there's people there that don't even like to show a smile let alone a laugh. That's why they cover their mouths.

[@bahaanaldo]

Does no one pick Ryu at Topanga? ha

[@Hailstormful]

That Seeth looks like a goddamn Oscar Trophy

[@mistara90]

because he doesn't have a decent wake up option, i mean reversal.

[@Hamppdur]

Is daigo married? Heard that from someone

[@LucasVieli]

I would love to understand what they're saying =/

[@TheCldmstrsn]

Never to late to learn Japanese. I use this. mangolanguages.com/index.html

[@Danav789]

I was just watching his HANDS O.O

[@AnGrYM4N]

@ 7:32 the "BEAST" mash da fuck outta that DP

[@megalopolis4]

2:14 Daigo is saying beating Abel is just a "shori" means simple operation. lol He is good at joke as well.

[@buhlayke]

Daigo has the same stick as me. YES

[@ThirtyfourEC]

7:29 Golden Umeshoryu

[@yELoHQ]

[@yELoHQ]

[@reecey54]

Daigo's friend looks alot like him.

[@Eudamonic]

[@jimmyeatsquaids89]

[@heroteen16]

There isn't. People who call them cheap are people who can't out smart people using those moves.

[@YoungMajorian]

Lmao at daigo reaction to the Abel throw at 3:40 Haha

[@mowgli123456789]

7:33 haha. thats Daigo saying ' i just did it ' !

[@jbarbarian88]

[@DavidGodd]

Pikagoma be no joke.

[@aznc0ffe388]

[@ProdbyStardust]

[@Ponzhu]

[@MrB1GD4DDy]

[@Kjaiao]
