Daigo Umehara (Akuma) vs rng505 (Ryu) AE2012 Endless Matches *720p HD*

[@Jiuplayer]

Vegeta you are the guy. Your uploads are in another level. I will be a little sad in this 6 days.

[@tiradegrandmarshal]

According to a Daigo fan blog, he's gone back to Yun. Somehow I have a feeling it won't be for long. I really hope he settles on Akuma after it's all said and done. I REALLY enjoy watching how he's developed his Akuma play.

[@hollowedhope]

You should tell him that. I don't think there are many comments praising his skills like that. And the kid is good. He could use the encouragement. Who knows, maybe he'll become the next SF youtube sensation

[@xxTORQxx]

Thanks for the uploads vegeta! Have a good vacation!!!!!!!!!

[@megalopolis4]

Daigo is just amazing. This opponent player doesnt looks too bad, but daigo is still fully beating him up.

[@vamp3s]

@MrGoutetsu Unlike SF4, SFxT doesn't give you a choice if you want to upload a replay or not. So if he' s playing SFxT online replays will eventually show up.

[@yahoo1o1]

dude this video is almost a year old... before Daigo's Ryu ever faced Infiltration's Akuma. I do love Daigo's Akuma though

[@kinchuan]

Daigo is crazy He had a 8 win streak on a ryu player with 5000+ PP. He didnt use many of the Akuma setplays and Akuma is not his main! His playstyle is totally different from Tokido, both are very entertaining

[@THALL_1]

nah, since super, in vanilla once the third hit came, that was the definition of commitment

[@OmegaTKB]

@XblackvegetaX He is focusing a little more on SFxT because the game is new tho he is still uploading AE2012 just a little less.Its a hard job my man

[@KellysterOverdrive]

@XblackvegetaX Nice... what about overheadgreg is he officially back?

[@halfw1ng]

It's because of the spacing , daigo and the ryu player are at the perfect distance where you are safe if u throw a fireball , if the other player is foolish enough to jump he will eat a shoryuken which would be sad. The only way to jump in effectively would be to move a little bit foward , and unfortunately that is where the dangerous "Footsie" game starts.

[@attitude8x]

I think this Ryu gave Daigo way too much respect. He was so scared to attack.

[@TwiBlueG35]

I wish Daigo would keep maing Ryu, Momochi back to Akuma. And I wish to see a FT10 between Daigo's Ryu and Sekiganryu's Ryu, and Michael Tan's Ken. The original Street Fighter is such a classic.

[@cylixte]

Am I the only one to find that Umehara plays his Akuma very much as he plays his Ryu ? I find that he relies a lot on his cr.MK zoning and not much on vortexes/combos for which most Gouki players like, say, Tokido or Infiltration are known for. He also doesn't make much use of Demon Flip variants.

[@shindra86]

I think he's just having fun and maybe testing the water for a sub. I wouldn't be too surprise if we suddenly got a match of him using Yun. But I don't think Ryu is going to take the backseat this time around, I hope we get a few endless uploads of him using Guile again...I know most can't stand his zoning but I do.

[@hkkjTacTacfijoa]

驚くべきは、、レベルの高さと画質の高さ！ちょーきれーだなー

[@ducksseason]

@123eldest you saw those c. jab, srk, fadc, tatsu combo? those taught him / made him scare to tech throw or OS tech throw I think.

[@Two1987]

He isn't p-linking, he is using an option select. If his opponent tries to throw he will tech it. If his opponent does nothing then medium punch will come out.

[@FinestFighters]

Daigo now gonna stick with Akuma or Switching between Akuma & Ryu?

[@Nvoy123]

Daigo using Akuma's abilities to fit his own playing style, rather than utilizing Akuma's capabilities for an Akumaesque style of play.

[@jtttt]

@123eldest because of daigo frame traps.. Plus another factor is daigo was hitting tick and kara throws. It's kinda risky to guess and get frame trapped and get hit with a combo.

[@staticfang35]

@xblackvegetax have a good break man! you da best :)

[@conan_614Music]

Dear Xblack, Would you be able to upload Poongko Evil Ryu matches?

[@Ganishka96]

When was this recorded? If it is recent, then that makes me think Umehara is really considering playing Gouki instead of Ryu, considering the amount of matches he's playing with Akuma, I haven't seen his Ryu at all.

[@arthur_paulino]

he tried to use a reversal light punch one, but he failed. light one doesnt seem to have invulnerability

[@thenumberonechannel9]

I think that's an understatement

[@10Reese24]

always interesting seeing daigos inputs. they're so weird. 90% OS

[@needlessToo]

Akuma without a vortex game? That's Daigo for you.

[@adrianott5248]

Daigos Ryukuma is always a treat.

[@vinvink]

I don't think so.. I'll remember to tell him that the next time I see him.

[@taharulislam2773]

Did anyone notice that daigo did ever use his ultra when he fights with akuma or when he does it aint successful. unlike ryu with his ultra and yuns super where he uses it where he can, he just beat them with akuma without any ultras of specials. fair play

[@OniBojan]

1:18 ok... tech throw didn't work three times.. let's see how's DP doing against this

[@GardioxNebilim]

Yo... did daigo kara cancel a throw off of stand fierce?/

[@kajiya6359]

daigo using p-linking while throwing?

[@deathnube99]

Its call focus attack dash cancel, FADC. Eats up 2 ex meters.

[@MrGoutetsu]

Im sure this has been asked already but does Daigo upload any SFxT?

[@DarealRadexHEJOO]

Maybe because on the pro level it's very easy to punish aerial attacks?

[@WAsucksblackducks]

i hope i can see ryu (daigo) vs akuma (daigo)

[@Ilovevidgames123]

Daigo, y u no use Demon Flip?

[@Cr1mSiR]

are you saying that akuma isn't a top tier character? if not then my statement stands. Also, if infiltration has the character loyalty that you're claiming he does, then he wouldn't be counter picking at a moment's notice whenever he runs into a bad matchup.

[@SunE6792]

@zzdeuszz That's possible since SF4 isn't it?

[@De9Transition]

Good, Daigo is preparing to rape Infiltration in the next tournament. :D Learning the secrets of countering himself. Path to the true warrior

[@ChordN]

why didnt he swap chars against daigo in evo 2012? During the LG tournament he used Gouken to counter ryu, which is a better matchup than using ryu. I should know i main both akuma and gouken. In evo 2012 he could have used gouken to easily counter ryu, but he didnt he used akuma. Tiers exist but most of those players got their because of skill.

[@XCT82]

how come no one ever jump kicks those fire ballz????? omgoodness....

[@bigbossvince]

@XblackvegetaX Enjoy your break bro

[@heavyarms39]

@2GunsUpZ is it wrong to WIN?

[@QwietStorm]

@tedd3y Was just a joke, my man, you know since Ryu is the penultimate one size fits all character. We cool?

[@Crit-Chance]

Daigo's Ryu is gdlk, but Akuma just has more options.

[@sargast7]

no need 4 demon flip is you are solid player !

[@taharulislam2773]

Your missing the point. He is so skilled with Akuma that he doesnt need it. Theres nothing wrong with Akuma fighters using his specials.

[@ShaySSBB]

daigo playing and this nigga looking at the background LOL

[@Radric33]

daigo needs to go back to ryu no one can play ryu like he can he fucking mastered him dude i'm telling you.

[@Key2541]

@XblackvegetaX have fun :D

[@ObirFenomenO]

I think Daigos style with Akuma is way too passive to getting success...he must turn back to main Ryu. He has by far the best one and have the most respect worldwide because Ryu isnt top tier

[@StreetFighterCasuals]

Wrong. You could even in Vanilla. I actually play that game today for some reason.

[@atlame]

@XblackvegetaX have fun dude ;)

[@kiwimangosurprise]

solar plexus --> short --> tatsumaki was sick.

[@scotqueso]

id rather see daigo in SSF4 than SFxT

[@TheRosso84]

how dare you Ume me??

[@123eldest]

rng505 had 5000+PP but doesn't know how to tech throw OP? Wtf?

[@m1ntysk83r]

daigo lovesss his sweep lol

[@armanthebes]

daigo play seth please

[@LOLFLUSHDRAW]

except he insta swapped to yun when he was top tier...

[@2GunsUpZ]

Somehow Daigo playing Akuma just seems wrong.

[@xath612]

Dat EVO champ...

[@stretchypants123]

Daigo made that Ryu player look like a newb...~

[@NinjaBen00]

1:19 : NO!!!!!!!

[@Tantemify]

good game

Ryu..

[@Crit-Chance]

It's good :D

[@10Reese24]

and no cross up tatsu's

[@philmonroe]

7 win streak. Kinda one sided ain't it :/

[@ugleland]

he is the best!

[@ducksseason]

@ducksseason c.jab being blocked

[@Trunks47r786]

So no.... Ryu anymore.

[@cryptexify]

akuma FIGHT!

[@vizardma]

daigo akuma is 40 %

[@QwietStorm]

@tedd3y lol Ryu's bad match ups

[@ChordN]

have you ever though that infiltration just likes to play akuma? If you look back akuma isnt really that OP. Look at evo 2012, if akuma was so OP how come only one akuma made it to top 8? Hell evo 2012 was the first evo were every single player played a unique char. That just proves that they didnt win because they tier whored but that they are good players. Level up scrub and stop making excuses.
