Daigo Umehara (Akuma) vs Osugi (Cammy) AE2012 Endless Matches *720p HD*

[@DoanDoann]

subscribed :) been trying to find some umehara akuma matches for awhile.

[@RajmanGamingHD]

Daigo's Akuma keeps on getting better, hope he mains him...but Im not a fan of those tatsu>fadc, he seems to miss the combo after that and just wasting the meter

[@biglebonski]

16 minutes left at work... perfect!

[@7StarAdmiralLuke]

@IlIl00 The start up for Akuma's standing strong is one frame less(3 frames) than his standing fierce(4 frames) according to shoryuken's wiki.

[@FinestFighters]

Some reactions from daigo were really godlike on those cannon spikes

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

rare footage of Daigo actually playing with GOuki :O :D

[@needlessToo]

Daigo always impress me with his winning streaks. Doesn't matter how good you are, players always lose a couple games once in a while. I played really high skilled players, obviously they were a lot better than me and I still was able to win one or two matches in ten games even though it looked almost impossible for me to win. Daigo and players like him (Tokido etc.) can come up with 20 win streaks against really good players. That's really interesting to me.

[@TonyTarantula]

Well said! I once visited the arcades in Japan, and the skill level is insane. For players like Daigo to sustain a solid win streak in that sort of climate is beyond impressive.

[@PhilomathBret]

In the same tournament? I wonder what matchups are better for Ryu and which are better for Yun.

[@yELoHQ]

Holy fuck, it jumped from 2 wins to 12 wins in a row.

[@T0R0RIKI]

12:33 sick , i give up . reading or reflex ?

[@DeltaTrolls]

"Master of timing" Proceeds to drop about 10 combos.

[@Speedygi81]

Lag maybe?

[@ew0k187]

Daigos got such a weird style for his akuma but it seems to be working out for him. Props to him.

[@Tuuvas]

@atlame hmm, I did realize it was a bait/read; however, even in that sense it was still insane reaction time. Sure, he anticipated the spiral arrow from Osugi, but in the end he still waited for the animation to go through before throwing a shoryuken. I would definitely expect him to NOT throw an srk out had Osugi NOT of done a spiral arrow.

His style is so interesting to watch.

[@darkdiablo888]

@XblackvegetaX what do you mean by leveling his akuma to help his ryu?

[@kevinmichaelgriffin]

the opponent can quick-rise after an uppercut, but not after a sweep. The sweep gives you a really good opportunity to set up another combo for when they get up, and makes it harder for them to stop it.

[@Gamekingz0r1]

awesome upload

[@PhilomathBret]

When has Daigo ever used multiple characters? I thought he always just focused on one. I've never seen him play more than one character in a tournament. Have you?

[@Drforrester31]

Excellent time to start the video...

[@diomilmontesdeoca8303]

educate me, if akuma jumps to do a mixup after a hard knockdown, wouldnt cammy catch him with her equivalent of a dragon punch when she gets up?

[@sleepingforest8214]

Blows up grab techs. I like that good shit

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Yes, actually, quite frequently. There's quite a few times I've seen him switch between Ryu and Yun.

[@bloodriotiori]

glad to see that Daigo still has that GODLIKE shoryuken reaction heh.

[@MyAwesomeAfro]

You get a hard knockdown which allows you to mixup them up on Wakeup. If you mix them up successfully, you can combo into another sweep and repeat the process.

[@ushiwakamaru30]

In most Japanese tournaments (at least the ones I've attended) you HAVE to announce the character you'll be using beforehand when you register and you HAVE to stick to it. If Ryu has a bad match-up, then Daigo's stuck having to deal with it. Outside of Japan, there's much more freedom and counter-picking is allowed. So with Daigo having 3 good characters under his belt, he should be able to dominate in any upcoming tournament...outside Japan that is.

[@jabedon]

That's how you make the difference between good players, and excellent players. They can have 20 win streaks against good players, because they know everything about their characters and about the opponent's character. Every move is calculated, and they can keep their composure.

[@MajorBosco]

why sweep after hurricane kick and not uppercut?

[@funnylegz]

daigos akuma is very nice I think I saw a video of him using akuma at a tournament not sure if it was casual in pools or what but id love to see him use akuma at evo

[@weglarz]

Rare footage of Daigo actually akuma

[@Panthro-lo2lh]

It still looks like his Akuma is a work in progress, but its still really good, as you'd expect from Daigo.

[@yahoo1o1]

@atlame oh never mind i thought he said reactions not rreflex lol. sorry

[@yahoo1o1]

@IHeartDieWaffenSS2 depends what level of players youre playing. i would have thought ryu did better vs cammy than akuma as she is 1 of his bad match ups in previous versions

[@kumikones]

@TubeKnow How do you dictate that decision making doesn't help get a win? I think Tokido would disagree with you there. He's already stated before how he'd rather not fight Daigo in a tournament, a testament to how well Daigo plays in general rather than what character he's using.

[@streetguy01]

Playing Daigo would frustrate the hell out of me, he plays SO perfect

[@amkkma]

@TubeKnow tokido doesn't have daigo's defense or the reaction time to antiair like you see daigo doing here, those are very important too, daigo has a stronger ground game too.

[@THALL_1]

no, he didnt drop ryu, he just picked up akuma because in AE 2012 he got buffed, and he wants to win to make money, so yeah.

[@TheCommanderjoe]

Lol, Diago hit her with the shoryuken frame trap almost every single time...

[@princeofwar311]

@blackhorse1988 lol? her spiral arrow is safe if spaced propally ,her uppercut is not safe but it isnt hard punished like shoto's and her dive kick is almost safe unless it is to the top of her opp i dunno what are you complaining about

[@drmario110]

I wonder if daigo expresses his emotions when he plays at home, like imagine him screaming when he lose a game rofl

[@IslamIstheWayforMe]

7 MONTHS AGO, and how right you were,.

[@akathetruthteller]

who is this cammy? high must be ranked pretty high on the AE in japan

[@Vallin87]

You can't quick-recover from a sweep, that's why you usually want to do that whenever you can. Unfortunately the sweep is character-specific, you can't do it on Ryu for example, that's why you would go for an uppercut against those characters.

[@Tuuvas]

12:33 cat-like reflexes man

[@H1ghscor3]

He keeps doing the tatsu fadc since in this version akuma's close mk is not yet force stand on hit. The tatsu is force stans but it's hard to connect.

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Not just in the same tournament, I've seen him do it in the same match, if somebody can manage to beat the one he was playing as with any degree of ease.

[@david.fit9]

12:35 the reactions

[@MusicFillsMyLife]

imagine daigo's zoning and tokido's vortex. oh god...

[@yahoo1o1]

Daigo imo expresses himself a lot more with Akuma than he does with Ryu. i think its just the limited style Ryu has, Solid as all hell but not great in any one area.

[@DaughterOfRnbSoul]

I see a little bit of ryu in his performance :P

[@Cr1mSiR]

interesting to see how Daigo performs when hes using a character thats actually the same tier as other people.

[@latzko91]

He does, there's some pretty nasty footage of him doing so

[@r0bz0rly]

does daigo only play endless?

[@kanzenchowa9868]

daigo's akuma is pretty good.

[@diomilmontesdeoca8303]

well i guess you learn something new everyday, btw, the sweep is to give cammy a hard knockdown do he can try a setup.

[@atlame]

@Tuuvas not a reflex, he baited it with the 2HK cause he was low on health. Its a pure bait/read. He was just waiting for it. Cant be a reflex.

[@coolguy104c]

3:57 gameinn was trying to fadc into ultra hadoken... lol

[@ShadowsBehindU]

+coolguy104c He didn't

[@V4K4R14N]

Same problem I always ran into with Cammy. I love her, but nothing she does is safe, and getting punished is a death sentence. :(

[@neontetra1000]

ooh daigo you little masher!

[@darks0r4]

*liked!

[@Bhavyo]

I didnt like Daigos Yun, nor his appearences as Guile or Cammy. And in earlier vids i also didnt like his Ryu like Akuma, but now he is making better and better use of Akumas options. Great to watch !

[@shaneomcgrath]

untechable knockdown, to keep the pressure going.

[@kumikones]

@TubeKnow Tokido has technique with his Akuma, but he has nothing on the crazy decisions and precision Daigo makes.

[@Crasharino]

12:34 loool that reaction speed!

[@destroyer8000]

12:34... that Umehara Shoryu... gdlk read!

[@omgyeaXD]

This may sound wierd. But it seems to me he plays Akuma like Ryu.

[@Oxymoron32GB]

Daigo as Akuma? Interesting.

[@minckaful]

Only time I see someone use dp, fadc, s.strong, tatsu. It seem good here.

[@KenZat]

good call

[@stevefoxy]

Dont understand why Daigo doesn't practise and use Akumas ultra 2. It could be a devastating weapon if someone like Daigo got to use it properly, I bet he could learn all the funky set ups.

[@clarktallman137]

despret seems like the name of a pokemon

[@atlame]

@Tuuvas oh yeah, that was godlike anyway :D

[@anthonycontreras1230]

0bp,,, i love that shit haha,, the ultimate slap in the face hahah

[@yahoo1o1]

mu guess is daigo has dropped ryu?

[@youness2k]

for instance : shoryuken + focus + dash

[@diomilmontesdeoca8303]

apparently he doesnt want to look like Infiltration

[@PhilomathBret]

One of Ryu's worst matchups is dictator but Akuma is also bad agaisnt dictator. Ryu has a very tough time with Dhalsim. I wonder how Akuma does vs. Dhalsim or what other tough Ryu matchups are.

[@strike667]

@Oxymoron32GB he was probably studying him

[@airziv]

super ryu-style akuma

[@vamp3s]

You obviously don't know what sarcasm is.

[@iishyxvietxboyii]

Wow! He beat a 5800pp cammy pretty convincingly with akuma.

[@jpedder]

hahahaha 3rd match video - Gameinn - 12 wins >.>

[@gunslinger3333]

UPPERCUT!!!

[@suparosc02]

cammy will always take a shoryuken, that's the only whay to counter a spiral arrow or a cannon strike, that's her weakness

[@Floor]

Alt account detected. Start uploading MashDatDP replays. I am 118% sure its Daigo.

[@buNi5D]

9:46 FAIL!!!

[@bahaanaldo]

It's interesting to see one of the top ranked Akuma's in the Japanese arcade is Daigo but he has 0 battle points here ha.

[@hoagiesupreme]

This didnt replicate his loss to cammy at all in evo.

[@Jiren48363]

who is the strongest? Like: Akuma comment: Cammy

[@biomat]

daigo often misses the sweep after tatsu which effects the flow of the match significantly. i put it down to online skankiness.

[@JackinNotts]

ggs

[@1337Boredness]

irony isn't it? he was sent to the losers bracket in evo by an akuma...

[@tiradegrandmarshal]

@ryancouture More health. Akuma bruises like a grape.

[@dawicked2k8]

look like Infiltration?, lol!!! Daigo been playing with Akuma since the Alpha days,after he fought Valle's Ryu he switched to Ryu

[@darryuozdark7149]

gd cammy

[@darkdiablo888]

daigo gotta stop using teleport when cammy has a ultra charged up lol

[@Akatsuki-mi5ml]

Hahahaha, Capcom sure knows how to sell its characters with those peculiar camera angle shots... amirite?

[@bloodriotiori]

lol wtf was this cammy thinking?

[@DerResu]

hm, maybe just guesing/mindgame?

[@akathetruthteller]

hehe, daigo knows that he has to get better with akuma to beat mago and fuudo in evo later this year,lol dude did his homework...

[@DerResu]

hm well maybe he expected U1 , so he did a meaty?
