[@frankpennachio2901]

Dude really is on another level, walking into the Aegis like that, just to say "You're not gonna play your game against me!". Daigo is the GOAT.

[@lylemcdermott2566]

Daigo isn't just kicking through the mirror,he is walking backwards too. What a beast.

[@NiaGeeh]

Even I was like, Daigo wtf you keep walking into that Aegis. Then he uses CA and my mind was blown 🤯🤯🤯 I cannot wait to see what he can do in SF6

[@vapersmith7859]

Same Daigo is literally like the life and soul of high level competitive Fighting games to this day especially of Street Fighter where he's a living legend!

[@stephonjhn]

Alright so everyone keeps talking about this tech and how long it takes in the lab but it's not something Daigo came up with. This was a nerf to the aegis from way back; depending on the character/normal you have, if you're positioned behind the aegis, you can spam normals forcing it to damage you quickly while also quickly dissipating it and punish if he retaliates close. I've done this with both Dhalsim and Menat for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I was hoping not much people would catch onto the tech (UK fgc showed me this and a lot of uriens got SHOOK when I did it 😅)

[@soraneptune4178]

@@stephonjhn this is not the same tech . What daigo showed here was a slight adjustment to the old anti mirror tech. Ryusei here was fully aware the mirror tech existed as such , he used the back + mirror which has different properties including going further and vortexing hit opponents. So if you were to simply spam sweep you would be interrupted by the mirror and probably die . What daigo did here to avoid this was to do micro steps backwards after every sweep in order to be just far enough to not get interrupted too early by the suction mirror .

[@stephonjhn]

@@soraneptune4178 Hmmm yeah. Upon rewatch I realised that in the case of this tech, Daigo gave Ryusei quite literally no space or time to block, otherwise he'd have died. You're right, but I think it's definitely an application of the mirror tech on steroids and fully understanding how aegis works

[@gabesimpson9015]

Daigo is one the most patient players to know when he can punish ppl

[@SSmitar]

Smug, I am a complete noob about any deep interactions in any fighting games. I am just a casual viewer who likes to watch fighting game videos. I really appreciate you pausing the video, putting it in a slow-mo and explaining why that Aegis interaction was godlike. Your elaboration really hit it home for me. Thank you very much.

[@MrYoumitube]

He is the only living legend! He may not win tournaments like he used to, but he is still the best.

[@aryehvongot5501]

When you realize he's micro walking forward between each of those kicks but still holds back in between to charge the super.

[@LeadAntagonist]

He’s walking backwards not forward

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Does SFV have charge partitioning? That would actually be pretty cool

[@aryehvongot5501]

@@GokuInfintysaiyan it does. You can see it when people do Urien's stand jab to headbutt.

[@patinho5589]

More like “when you read a comment like this and have no idea still, but anyway :) “

[@RetroKid]

Daigo already gets so much respect on his name, that the respect gets respect on it, AND he needs a smaller side plate just to put the extra respect that would have gone on his name initially but would fall off if they tried to put it on top of the two scoops of respect that are already there.

[@captanblue]

I have no words for that aegis shield interaction

[@SerechII]

When Smug gets impressed I get double impressed

Daigo does something: It was luck that, he wouldn't think about it. You watch the video again and understand that Daigo was 5 moves ahead of you 😎

[@km_1911]

Daigo: *walks into Aegis on purpose* Ryusei: Wait, that’s illegal.

[@look-awaytv5975]

🤣

[@subterraneanretrogames556]

He’s Babe Ruth…he’s Michael Jordan. People will still talk about Daigo in 30 years.

[@Jakal_205]

Diago reminding us all why he's the main character.

[@azahias9]

Daigo knew the distance AND the damage, and baited Ryusei into staying close enough for the CA. Ridiculous intuition 😳

[@patrickmaxson2030]

"no one wanna listen to me" - Smug, with the greatest of ease

[@FAMCHAMP]

Daigo is the first Fighting Game Scientist There I said it

[@tacos7522]

that one is desk lol but still he's the Beast

[@guyfawkes4578]

The aegis counterplay was amazing, but damn, those anti-airs were on point. 80% rate at least. Read them like a frigging hentai manga.

[@Rafael57YT]

He also mixes up between using: - Anti air normals - Flashkicks - Air grabs Depending on which one is better for the situation. Daigo is CRAZY

[@davidfortuin4146]

I think we already established that Daigo is a legend. Freak of nature is more like it.

[@marikoraelian2267]

Right He is living Legend :D Great Video Smug. Thank You Bro.

[@ninjako6255]

Great great commentary! Very damn entertaining! Great stuff Mr. SMUG!!!!

[@hdh7934]

7:40 damn the micro walk back is perfect

[@buss3796]

Dude Daigo is above GOD at 7:38 Breakdown of Daigo's move at 9:00 Holy shit that ending

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

If this was Evo and a Top8 match, this would definitely be another Evo Moment!

[@superbabybao]

Love watching smug react to matches

[@ppduval]

Agreed 👍

[@TheJinjiDucan]

Every time when Daigo do the unthinkable, you know why they call him "The Beast"!

[@michaelpeters2026]

Du hast vollkommen recht👍😀

[@TheJinjiDucan]

@@michaelpeters2026 😄😁👍🏼

[@jeengyim3072]

To play and do these actions while playing shows that daigo situational awareness is that of a god

[@BuffNesquikBunny]

Yo smug I love seeing ur reaction towards matches, hopefully you’ll do more in the future

[@GeneralRude]

Daigo looking surgical out there.

[@hori83]

Unbelievable. He made him look like a random guy on the internet.

[@michaelmarshall4654]

Wonderful commentary!

[@thefrostbite]

I love how during the super there's still shards of the mirror flying around

[@TyrantDragonBR]

10:46 This is genius material. Simply the best.

[@jeffboachie4108]

A true fighting game genius. This man has done his due diligence!

[@shoaquem]

You gotta give it to Daigo for mastering Charge Partition like that. Holy hell

[@franksmith3744]

That was crazy after the breakdown. Sapping the gray health

[@Mandingo_]

He did similar thing against nemo. When he pressed crouching HK he has to walk backwards so he wont be sucked forward to the aegis reflector. He also has to sweep at the right distance while hitting aegis reflector and urien at the same time so urien is on block and cant press button.

[@sdfghjkjhgfdfghnbvbn]

Ok daigo def a bad mamma jamma

[@ShadowG72]

Fr, Daigo's SFV Guile is the most intimidating, unpredictable opponent in SF history

[@MrRugarell973]

This guy throws an enormous amount of sonic booms!! Got dam diago!!

[@zakman6471]

Sick break down smug bro

[@Oneil1570]

I’m glad he pointed that out my pleb eyes and game knowledge would not have picked up on that. High level play is amazing!!

[@breakfastplan4518]

7:44 was utterly genius and thats SFV's meta-game number 2. Also, I think Daigo works for Capcom on the DL ( Probably a tester Please remember this comment, it will become relevant within the next few years )

[@magicalvisions4704]

Even Brian F made a vid about this. He even got his own aegis reflector Tech with oro

[@marcusrios9203]

Brian F will never be on Diagos level. Not even in his dreams.

[@magicalvisions4704]

@@marcusrios9203 🤨 please go some where. Go watch Brian F Clips dweeb you’ll see it 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Fluenzo]

@@marcusrios9203 I don't think anyone is under the impression Brian F is or will be on Daigo's level, but he is a very smart player who is good at breaking stuff like this down and finding tech.

[@nekky9534]

Yeah and brian said on his latest video that what daigo did in this moment was beyond even him. Daigo was actively walking back in between the c.HKs to space them cuz aegis had some suction on hit, brian only noticed it after watching the HiFight breakdown.

[@magicalvisions4704]

@@nekky9534 as a player Brian did not reach his prime his literally just started to tap into his prime when he entered Red Bull Kumite. Brian Is speaking in context of now. Plus remember he was inspiration to the oro fireball loops

Daigo's hyper reflexes help him see everything in slow motion

[@yhormelgigantica6972]

How else would he upside-down kick his sweep? No one can simply do that off of a guess

[@dieterrosswag933]

I really think he see the world in slow motion. He do stuff that isn't human

[@egrassa1480]

He actually is very very very hard worker, he practices hella hard. You can react like him if you would practice like him. Real inhuman thing about him is his work ethic

STRESSED

[@Debiruman1666]

Daigo's charges are lightning fast because he plays with a Hitbox controller, it's like an Arcade Stick, but the stick is replaced by a set of four buttons (left, down, right and jump), which are more responsive than a stick, because there's no course ( = more responsive, where a stick and a gamepad have a little course before clicking the direction, you lose some milliseconds in the process), and you can have a finger of your left hand on each button, which means you can optimize your charging time, you don't have to do a course from a direction to another, you have a finger on one direction, and the other finger on the opposite direction, you gain some milliseconds at every action you do. The Hitbox is arguably the most efficient type of controllers for 2D fighting games, if you're willing to learn to play with it, maybe with the exception of the 360/720 motion characters like Zangief, I just can't imagine playing him with that controller :-)

[@surtrpicks]

Was gonna say the same. Hit box doesn’t make you move through neutral positions on the way to other positions. More instant due to less animations happening in way to move.

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

Anyone playing gief with a hitbox is a masochist

[@Mandingo_]

The dualshock 4 (ps4 controller) can do this too. Nuckledu is very good at this as he uses the analog stick to charge. Both D_pad and analog stick can be used for movement.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

This OP gets it! 👏👏

[@SlickRick4EVER]

@@Mandingo_ - no sir, the DualShock 4 is not the same as a hitbox. Hitbox has a quicker response than a typical PS controller.

[@Teesukisuki]

Love the Hikaru No Go Toya Akira name.

[@youcantkilltwice5596]

If i am remember correct, Daigo is using mixup controller so he is doing best with charge character Guile.

Hitbox controller essentially?

Yeah, mind blown.
