USFIV: EG Momochi vs MCZ Daigo Umehara - Stunfest 2015 Grand Final - CPT 2015

[@spencermcbride3881]

"THIS IS SHIN DAIGO IN HIS FINAL FORM" what an absolute godlike combo. Daigo earned his nickname on that one

[@scourge8143]

He’s earned that name since Evo 37.

One of the best grand finals I've ever seen. That 25 hit combo... the back and forth footsies mastery, the whole meta of respect at the beginning and how it evolves into this slugfest then finishes off cold and calculated. Fucking epic.

To me when he is in tune and dedicated he is miles beyond any other player. I can understand why Tokido cries just to beat Daigo even just to stand close to him on top of the mountain.

+JustAStandardGuy Some great moments pt 2: 0:36 Momochi with the focus dash through fireball early in the match. 0:44 Momochi focuses for a split second and Daigo tries to punish with c.mk xx tatsu. look at how quick the focus goes by, who could react to that?? 1:24 kara fireball to catch Daigo jumping 2:16 walk up throw 2:40 wakeup hopsack xx EX air tatsu. Daigo was probably looking to float over a low 3:13 Momochi holds focus, Daigo punishes with c.mk xx shoryu 3:22 Momochi ripping a level 3 focus. the mindgames! 3:38 conditioning again with the focus 3:30 third time 3:32 Daigo goes for his own focus to which Momochi counters with walkup throw 3:37 crossup j.mk ( I think?) s.mp axe kick c.mp tatsu shoryu 3:46 Daigo fireballs to match Momochi's, then FADC's to sweep and secure the round 4:18 counterhit step kick c.mk xx shore. great recognition and reaction 4:24 Momochi is caught in air frames by target combo fierce by Daigo. Daigo KNEW he would try to sweep, so he presses s.lk to reduce his standing hurtbox and counters with c.mk xx fireball FADC c.mk axe kick. ridiculous! 4:28 Daigo has been backdashing a lot after axe kick, so Momochi dashes up with c.mk fireball FADC sweep. as F-word said, they're reading each other like books. crazy play right now 4:43 Momochi feinting with s.lk at that range to confirm if Daigo fireballs or not. if he can react correctly, he can ultra through it, as you'll see later on 4:49 step kick to catch the backdash 4:52 huge costly whiff that cost Momochi game 2 5:22 air tatsu to make Momochis dp whiff, Daigo with the great bait 5:42 Momochi EX tatsu's to break Daigos focus backdash 6:17 possibly another air tatsu bait, but might be Momochi trying to build meter for next round 6:20 Daigo feels he has no need to press the attack so he chucks the plasma, building some meter, letting Momochi come to him, until 6:24 walkup throw 6:49 far s.hk to anti-air Momochi. if he tried to DP it would whiff completely 7:10 execution error by Momochi thats cost him the round 7:49 to 8:02 Momochi starts momentum with a jump in combo, pushing Daigo to the corner. more pressure leads to a stun and eventually a perfect. 8:13 another far s.hk to anti-air 8:23 another backdash from Daigo, another EX tatsu punish from Momochi, 8:25 Momochis previous attempts to anti-air Daigo have whiffed, so he does a cross cut EX DP for extra range 8:48 level 2 focus into ultra 2 9:02 and again. insane 9:09 hugely important round here. if Daigo wins, he knocks Momochi into losers and has another chance at winning 9:32 Daigo with the 3rd focus crumple. seems to be spacing it and reading Momochi at that distance very well 9:36 c.lp hop kick xx EX air tatsu axe kick results in dizzy. Daigo proceeds with the ridiculous.. 9:41 j.hk s.hp axe kick c.mp xx fireball FADC c.mp s.hp axe kick c.lp s.mp axe kick FADC c.lp s.hp axe kick c.mp tatsu shoryu shoryu. a 25 hit combo!!! the highlight of the match for many viewers 9:51 YOLO DP to reset! 10:52 focus dash through fireball to throw 10:59 another air tastu bait. that makes 3 now? 11:21 Daigo drops the combo and Momochi punishes with ultra 2. great reactions 11:40 counterhit combo 11:47 fuck outta here 12:08 walkup throw returns 12:11 got reactions? Momochi takes his first game in this set 12:40 once again catching the backdash 12:44 pretty much a 50/50 EX air tatsu. looked impossible to tell where it'd hit 12:51 regular air tatsu hits from behind 12:53 sweep on Daigos wakeup 13:02 Momochi not even holding a direction the stick. Daigo fireballs and Momochi jumps to punish on reaction 13:44 chases down the teleport with a sweep. psychic Momochi! 13:46 c.mk fireball FADC c.mk tatsu ftw 14:01 another s.hk. Daigo is on point at that range 14:05 what did I just say? LOL 14:08 blocked sweep aint even remotely safe, Daigo with huge punish and corner carry 14:22 don't even jump! 14:38 Daigo knew he'd backdash, so he holds forward and punishes for game 5 15:24 c.hp to anti-air, where a dp would whiff 15:26 dashup throw lol 16:41 this make it his 5th anti-air? he's 100% with it so far 17:22 fails the kara DP again 17:52 6/6 attempts with that button 17:58 YOLO level 3 18:06 another wakeup hopsack into EX air tatsu 18:40 7/7. goddamn! 18:41 triple stepkick 19:00 Momochi tries to get cute with the triple dash, Daigo responds with a throw 19:16 hopkick to EX air tatsu to win the set and tournament (on defense/wakeup, no less!) One of my favourite grand finals, EVER.

[@jedediahreaver210]

RocketPawnch momochi focus were actually Kara focus ,a specialty of micheal tan ,but momochi used it efficiently. its done by inputting forward+MK cancel the first frame by a focus then dash. its used mainly to gain distance

[@kombatjenning]

Jedediah Reaver Not only that but he was throwing a few Kara fireballs as well.

[@estarriol7]

RocketPawnch There are enough great elements in this match to put it overall right up there with Evo Moment 37 for me. That "Ultra Combo" is probably the bit I'd show most people but you're right, there are so many moments of greatness from both players here. Great commentating too.

He had Daigo beat, but Evil Ryu’s advantages bailed him out of a lot of situations. Hate to say it, but Daigo did kinda tier whore his way through this one.

[@BESTDICKINCHINA]

YUP.

[@iShanus]

Holy shit! Best match I've seen in a long time.. These two never disappoint.

[@cesarsales22]

- "Dad, why is my sister named Moment?" - "Because the second best moment of my life was when she was born" - "What about my name?" - Enough questions, USFIV: EG Momochi vs MCZ Daigo Umehara - Stunfest 2015 Grand Final - CPT 2015!

[@Digitalgaming]

Hands down, best commentators in the community of pro street fighter competitions. Keep it up my lads!

[@SquantoShinyShorts]

One of the best sets of all time. Everyone remembers the 25 hit combo but I didn’t remember Momochi punishing a whiffed L tatsu with Ken U2. That looked like something the CPU would do. Then reacting to a point blank fireball with U2 the very next round.

[@johnnytex1040]

It's been 7 years, and I can now safely say I've finally caught up. I've now replicated 9:31! As the Ken.

[@100purenacl3]

Had me in the first half ngl

[@scatterthewinds3126]

man IV was so much of a better game than V

[@80Tamiya]

3yrs later and im still coming back to watch this.

[@BESTDICKINCHINA]

YEAH. LOL

[@dustnbone4077]

this is street fighter... classic ken vs ryu.. two exceptional players...great match letting it all out...

[@aimlesfez]

After all these years, I'm still in awe

[@fallenAngelChloe]

Here 2024! and still watching this incredible match! The 25 Hit Combo Amazing! 🤯💪🏻

[@eidolontrance]

This is the highest level of play I've ever seen in a fighting game.

[@wildwest1832]

Not sure whoever said daigo doesnt have execution because it sure looks pretty good here. Every player on earth drops combos even sako. Daigo dropped a couple here but hit like 95 percent of them and some really tough ones he hit every time

[@ZeHerminator]

more hype than the last 4 evo grand finals together

[@drewrin]

December 2020. Still reliving this match~

[@Bakalar]

i feel so dirty watching that... excuse me while i try to purify myself in flames.

[@aznt1mmy]

The top 2 USFIV players going at it; Daigo still got it!

[@hardace1708]

Timmy Do he never lost it. only a moron would say otherwise

[@azuresaiyan9005]

***** Oh no, Daigo doesn't win one event, guess he lost it.

[@hardace1708]

***** also add to the fact that he bodied two evo champs back to back that year.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

***** Those were 2 events that were months apart. You're going to forget the events he won between them? smh

[@azuresaiyan9005]

***** Capcom Pro Tour Asia, Topanga A League.

[@CalebTrantraal]

Watching it again march 2024 one of the best sets in fgc history

[@MrBISHOP826]

This is prob one of the best matches in SFIV history.

[@shahariffinshaari7210]

Hell yeah. Daigo is the beast of street fighter. And what makes me more adore about him is he is a humble beast

[@michaelosborne8947]

09:37 to 09:52 Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

[@armand4116]

This is my second favorite "Daigo moment" , amazing, the first one is Evo 37 .

[@kellifizw.8846]

This is prime time street fighter classic history

[@Zaferino1]

I can't wait to perform at this level on this grand of a stage. Beautiful.

[@BESTDICKINCHINA]

KEEP ON TRYNG, YOU WILL GET THERE EVENTUALY.

[@Diggarci]

Momochi is the best Ken in sf4 so far so far so far, well Daigo is a classic great motherfucker, amazing fight. Two Titans in great shape.

[@izickventura2558]

This is why i love SF especially High level shoto battles really defines SF. Hopefully SF5 will have this. Amazing Grand finals diago and momochi are fundamentals gods.

[@ryubatsoy2268]

The lines of the commentators on this match are also legendary

[@nivyan]

I'm pretty sure Daigo did the 25-hit combo because he thought he'd have enough meter to do ex dp at the end - which would've killed. Chipp dp would've only been beaten by Ken' EX dp, so it was a good follow-up anyway :P

[@pyros411]

The greatest set of all time.
