Afrolegends vs. Daigo

Afrolegends (Boxer) vs. Daigo (Ryu)
Evolution 2006
Hyper Street Fighter Anniversary Edition

[@xcaluhbration]

Daigo has the ability to stay calm no matter the situation. THAT alone is an intimidating factor and thats what seperates him from so many ryus out there

[@rang3r34]

HOLY SHIT!! That was amazing!! I've NEVER seen anyone come back from so much damage! I would have thought this was a win in the bag! I guess that's the true power of Daigo......

[@bao1458]

0:28 "Daigo is afraid of super...." 0:33 "I guess not...."

[@MrThetrade]

wow daigo is really calm under pressure.

[@TuHermanaEnTanga7]

He's famous for that.

[@cheesesteakphilly]

That’s his passive ability. JWong has an active one called “The Wong Factor”

[@RockmanLabs]

"Do not try at home"

[@kurojin97]

wowww.....that comeback was fuccin stupid SICK!!!! can't believe boxers last combo didn't connect.....and the fact he got umehara dizzy is whoa

[@teh_blazerer]

This was a bigger comeback then his Evo '04 comeback against Justin..

[@Kamelot19]

Still have this in my Liked videos list for years. Awesome play by Daigo!

[@Deviltriggerfounder]

Oohh! Ooohhh! OOOHHHH!

[@Artyom_27]

Just can't get enough of this vid... ^^

[@Dyne]

Impressive and supreme match, with the release of HD remix now. This is definately as most other vids a nice inspiration to get better and hopefully to the level of these players.

[@nanashiband]

Hate to sound like a broken record, but WOW what an amazing comeback! Definitely thought Boxer had it in the bag there!

[@Piccolodeon]

That was SUPER EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ssgnetwork]

He's just UNSTOPPABLE. BEAST.

[@Unfaadable21]

Insane Daigo! :) this dude was blessed with skill , Props!

[@XtremePower16]

AMAZING

[@KoopaKoot]

That crossup hurricane is sick.

[@yELoHQ]

Some say they have damaged Daigo. Some say they have beaten Daigo. But how many can say they almost beat Daigo and witnessed an amazing Clutch Victory by him? Very few...

[@Mewnoz]

Still gives me chills.

[@Br0kenWarrior]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS THE CLOSEST THING THAT IVE EVER SEEN TO GOD MODE!!!! (a mode only reachable by god) ITS BEEN LIKE A MINUTE AND IM STILL IN SHOCK AND AWE!!!!

[@jwick1975]

the guys just consistent with a tried and trusted system

[@zse4rfvgy7uj]

EPIC!

[@darksylux101]

the match turned around in a blink of an eye!

[@bloodriotiori]

AMAZING!!!! He meant that daigo ALWAYS manages to come back from near death like that, he's truely the god of 2d!

[@lookitskazzy]

If you listen closely just after the dizzy, you can clearly hear someone in the background saying, "This nigga..." hahahaha

[@JuukaRock]

Good God! That was insane.

[@nyccarini]

seems like an intuitive player

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

From perfection to devastation.

[@LeBlanckL]

Fuck. Gotta love that comeback. Love the crowd at these events too.

[@MexicanHat]

simply awesome :D does anyone know what the announcter said at the end?

[@sambomaster89]

wow, what an amazing comeback. I wonder if they'll make another anniversy collection that features SF2THD Remix?

[@ShinOnigashima]

Amen to that dude.

[@280ZedX]

I have the saturn version...Japan import Street Fighter Collections with SSF2Turbo and Alpha 2...and it does not have that sound track. Is there another version?

[@YukiNagato3]

Yes, everything in life is just that simple.

[@BattlePigeon]

I can't help but smile at how CLOSE Afrolegend was to defeating him, but then he was totally annihalated inside of 10 seconds (well...8 if you wanna count that Balrog got stunned.)

[@JellySlosh]

Holy fuck that comeback was INSANE.

[@Sousuke15]

Greatest come back of all time

[@MaestroJ34]

@Xgloomshadow You're right, besides Balrog is one of those characters where you need to keep distance. His reach only goes so far. But zoning is a good tactic against closer-ranged characters.

[@Cr1mSiR]

everything epic that could've happened for Daigo happened there, right down to the stone slab in the background shattering

[@Gumby518]

the comeback kid

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

Holy fucking shit. This guy has got comeback on reserve. King !

[@DoubleAsian616]

@PlasmaEXE That is the ancient version of Shoryuken, used to call it "Psychic Shoryuken" because it hits invisible space. Still exist somewhat. Just isn't the same.

[@teamflyboys]

Yeah, I got what you're saying, it's just that it doesn't matter if he lost or not or who's name was mentioned, Daigo kicks ass at this game.

[@lancecryor]

wow ryu just kicked it into overdrive in the second round lol. WHAT A COMEBACK

[@VincentMalloyy]

Whoa!!!

[@SwordXEvil]

so true bro

[@KoopaKoot]

Woah! Daigo, King of dramatic comebacks.

[@TidySammy]

Beast mode enabled!

[@HentaiZero]

DAMN!

[@kataztropheemusic]

This match is crazy.

[@ofarone]

Daigo plays the game to perfection full stop. !!

[@chapa2100]

INCREIBLE DAIGO!

[@agaifi]

No sir, this is Super Street Fighter II Turbo, this is THE fighting game.

[@DARKKYUKEN]

Epic

[@Elileaverust]

really good zone tactic from daigo nice aggression from afro 2nd round thou

[@That1sushidude]

diago always clutchin it like a boss

[@DieOxXiN]

awsome match :D

[@andy7666]

Ha ha, yes, I heard Daigo was artificially concieved in a Capcom lab (Seth style). He grew in a 'Matrix'-like pod with the CPS2 wired directly to his brain and nervous system.. He was 'born' in time for his first SF2 tournament.

[@dkblade27]

his anger is unpredictable. his anger is calm emotionless anger. when daigo smiles, thats when all life in earth ends.

[@xDragonInstallx]

This is what happens when you assume your opponent has given up.

[@jamiany]

I've played Afrolegends before, he's a great player. Though, I only played one match with him and it was online. I beat him with Fei Long both rounds and he left after and said it was too laggy. :( I suppose hp-->chicken wing string was too much for him. lawl Still, his Boxer is beastly, and for that I salute him -- regardless of if the game was actually laggy for him or not. It was GGPO after all. I've seen this match like 1 year ago. Decided just now to comment. D:

[@iankobe]

Freakin sick

[@nicobeldent]

Un grande este muchacho!

[@wildfire3969]

beginners like me give up mentally when we have almost no life left, but pros like daigo say f it I'm not gonna lose

[@Defmarz187]

A Win is a win!

[@SikeNawGaming]

@Sportsmanshipfactory Thank you. someone with common sense. Now i can rest.

[@Stigato]

My favorite part of the video was when Ryu threw the haduken.

[@Windermarin]

Absolutely amazing comeback. I wonder why Afrolegends didnt do wakeup headbutt...

[@rs_XO]

lmfao....I know right...I tell people this all the time.

[@snipermalliki]

The pressure had him

[@oswald1989]

yeahhh baby

[@khmerboyz1]

too fresh Daigo! WOW!

[@tuhlunksss]

LOL duuude... that was insane...

[@jande040]

Dayum!

[@Mugen123456789]

Ohhh waaaaaH!!

[@Fayejealousy]

Amazing, one second of freedom and he turns the tables completely

[@magmatizem]

Daigo is a poker face comeback king.

[@danielfcastro]

wow... captain Daigo!

[@MillaJava]

Most sf pros would have gave up and blocked to death in that situation. Daigo fought till the last drop of health and it seems the near ko situation didn't pressure him at all.

[@Gyonenchi]

actually "balrog" is his american name, he is m. bison in japan, and thus to eliminate confusion, he is widely referred to as boxer.

[@Reinami66]

What version of the tatsu does daigo use at 0:49?

[@Maraxusofk]

He was probably charging the corners so when daigo crossed him over, he lost his charge.

[@Jankenpop]

Actually, Capcom was scared that they might get sued by Mike Tyson if they named the boxer character Mike Bison, so they rotated the names. So now: Spanish Bullfighter=Vega Dictator=M. Bison Boxer=Balrog When originally, it was Spanish Bullfighter=Balrog Dictator=Vega Boxer=M. Bison

[@280ZedX]

If you notice the music...only the Panasonic 3DO version of SuperStreet fighter 2 turbo had this. Just a little nerd fact.

[@erzu17]

NO ONE should declare victory against daigo unless they see the KO screen saying they won. WHOO! Go Daigo!!

[@jellypigg]

@8bitJoker you'd love every second of it

[@mach64blast]

EPIC REVERSAL!!!

[@Gang3rs]

omfg Daigo. How do you do it.... i really thought it was done, man i hate to lose anyone when you only need one hit to win

[@Anas2k7]

Commentator: CAPTAAAAAAAIN DAAAAAAAAAIGO

[@kaaaaalllllll]

PATENTED DAIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@BLUELINKBR]

I don't get surprise anymore when Daigo are with no life and win a match after I saw that full parry combo vs Chun li Desperation move.

[@AcidGlow]

nice

[@emaa_m]

First reply in 13 years

[@Bakeshop040]

It's not reality. It's not pity... ...no one can stop the Beast.

[@GIGAMSX1974]
