AVM.Gamerbee vs MCZ.Daigo Umehara - GRAND FINAL DHW13

Hold on to your hats, you're in for one hell of a ride!
Daigo Umehara of Team Mad Catz with Ryu in the winner's bracket
Gamerbee of AverMedia with Adon in the loser's bracket.

[@shinhawk]

I loved how the commentator went nuts when he said, "Daigo needs one Dragon FADC Ultra to win" and then Daigo pulls it off mid-sentence.

[@Bakujin619]

If you're curious, 21DPs from Daigo that set.

[@oscuro8961]

How many did he miss on?

[@Lssj100]

Joe Franlin I think Gamerbee only successfully blocked one or two, but daigo was able to fadc them.... Thats just without paying attention to the count of dps.

[@fgclash454]

[@deanmayberry9713]

[@Hikusaak4]

To the one saying "It's all proximity OS", Gamerbee wasn't pressing any buttons some of the times, and Daigo was never whiffing any normals, so that's not possible.

[@robertojunior7716]

Yeah, everything is proximity nowadays

[@HumorousLOL]

God, both amazing players. Easily some of the best matches I've ever seen.

[@GerardoVillarreal1101]

At 8:13 people just understood they were in presence of something else, something beyond just skill. This was peak Daigo.

[@marcusgege2094]

You picked something that's really one of the easier things to do in that set. Fireball placed, the obvious move from Gamerbee was the move he did and Daigo was already waiting for it, as most people would be.

[@GerardoVillarreal1101]

@@marcusgege2094 didn't mean to say it was the most skilled or highest IQ sequence in the game. Is the fact that at that point there was no way out, kinda how the set was going in the terms that Daigo was dictating the match most of the time. That spot feels like just "c'mon what am I supposed to do now?" Obviously the sequence of Ume DPs is like '"I'm deep in your head moment".

[@Rex-golf_player810]

Not only does it kill your ears but also your eyes because you have just witnessed something legendary

[@EvilLuisito]

Those DPs are not proximity OS. Daigo doesn't like using option-selects that much. He's an emotional guy that likes playing with his guts and making statements with his reads. He's just amazing at footsies, downloading and conditioning. Like Alex Valle says: Footsies are about having courage. And you can't get more courageous than double/triple dashing forward when you have a pixel of health left, doing 3 yolo DPs in a row, or throwing a guess fireball pointblank to catch Akuma's backward tele just to make a point and get in your opponent's head. Daigo is the incarnation of courage. No wonder he has such a dominant ground game. :)

[@naakato]

the first 2 dps at first round were reactions

[@EvilLuisito]

naakato I didn't say they were all yolo..

[@azuresaiyan9005]

He embodies his character so well.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

AlphaQSilly Triforce says a lot of things, he also said Markman bribed Infiltration and Xian in letting Daigo win his exhibitions against them. Don't trust anything he says.

[@EvilLuisito]

AlphaQSilly Do you even know what a proximity option-select is? Because I do: it's whiffing a normal and buffering a special then holding down/back. So that if your opponent attacks while your normal is recovering, the proximity box will trigger causing you to cancel the recovery a few frames quicker than usual and going into block state. This causes your buffered move to come out instantly but not come out on whiff. That is how proximity OS works. Here, Daigo didn't throw any normals so he had no active or recovery frames to buffer into. He was clearly just walking forward then did a DP. Gamerbee happened to be pressing a button (probably tried to tech) and got blown up. It was a gutsy high risk low reward read. Nothing more, nothing less.

[@amourparfait7]

I watched this live and what an experience from a casual fan. Daigo is simply a God among mere mortals.

[@FenrirDuskwolf]

I just love Daigo's fierceness, he have a unique playstyle, we have a lot of aggressive players, but Daigo has his own stuff.

Huh all the players are playing to win. They might not whore an S tier or counterpick, but they believe they have significant winning chances with the character they pick.

[@daimeneon1579]

***** you are correct in a way on the fact that every player in tournament more or less wants to win and daigo is also the same but think it is like a gladiator fight :D and about the not caring part i believe he knows how important it is to be a fan favorite in terms of being sponsored.

Concerning Ryu: xWax Solid is flashy. Sekiganryu Is Solid. Daigo is just meta, meta and nothing but metagame!! Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game.

[@wildwest1832]

man the better you understand the game, the more small things you see them doing. Daigo stands at a range so that adons stand hard kick only the second hit reaches him so he can focus back dash that without getting hit by the second hit of it. Tons of small details and ranges daigo is always conscious of. I think ryu actually loses to adon maybe 5-5

[@abc2390986]

Like 4.5 vs 5.5 when Adon can react punish fireballs easily with Ultra 1

[@123eldest]

Such a good match. You have to admit though Ryu's DP FADC into U1 is probably the most free damage in the game.

[@omegaweapon116]

Definitely true. No risk, great reward...But what if the other player absorbs it with a focus attack? Can Ryu still FADC? I don't have the game right now or else I would try it myself.

[@123eldest]

I think it would just break the focus since it's the mp DP which hits twice so no need to FADC.

[@chesmaster2ky]

I don't know what you guys are talking about...even those commentators. ("Daigo's on fire?!" Eh?) Given how good Daigo is, Gamerbee had him fighting tooth and nail for the championship. Aside from two rounds, every match so even and well fought. Daigo's still maintains his impeccable reactions...amazing! (Ume shoryu ftw!)

[@zaigar1243]

You exaggerate: not quite "tooth and nail" since Daigo was still in Winners.

[@najiyoussefelhamdi2649]

I bet daigo didn't even look at the screen lol

[@Fudgaboutit]

***** Daigo wasn't fighting "tooth and nail" why? Because he "was still in Winners." Daigo dick suckers really have a hard time forming a thought

[@chesmaster2ky]

Fudgaboutit He wins by using the lowest tier char w/ simple moves and by reading the opponent. It's not robotic, you nitwit. It can't be robotic 'cause he's playing a human player who is unpredictable. He reads, blocks, gets in their head and out plays them and punishes them combos consisting of simple archaic moves. I don't care to compare him to anyone else 'cause his level of play is inspirational. You, amigo, don't have to try to stand out by hating daigo, there are other ways of doing it. But, when you try and dispel hate (w/o substance) you just sound idiotic...you "cock sucker." :D

[@zaigar1243]

Fudgaboutit No shit I'm having a "hard" time. Someone's jelly. :V The irony of your statement when all you did was quote other people. Genius.

[@Alterma99]

can someone tell me the name of the theme song in the second round plz

[@Fr0gSplashh]

He gets some sh*t for playing just one character (even though he has high-levels Ken and Yun at least) but Daigo has to be the best SF4 player in the world on the 5-year span the game has been out.

[@Fr0gSplashh]

***** I don't disagree. People think he uses Ryu and spams fireballs because they know nothing about the game. Ryu is not even the best shoto in the game but people are weird you know. On the other hand, as the base character of the game, Ryu does not have many bad match-ups (a lot of 5-5 all around) except against god tiers like Cammy but there is no counter-pick to Cammy anyway.

Depends on what platform they use. I don't know what they were using at DreamHack but it is traditionally a PC tournament so they can use the stages with more textures and elaborate lightnings without risking the slightlest lag. On Xbox360 they use the training stage most of the time.

[@ghettoshampoo]

Fr0gSplashh They used Xbox 360 in this tournament. People play on training stage because it's easier to see the exact spacing between characters, and is not distracting.
