Attempting Daigo's MOST IMPOSSIBLE combo...

Here's the full Daigo vs Momochi USF4 match from Stunfest 2015! • USFIV: EG Momochi vs M...
Today we're taking on another Daigo challenge - can we recreate the Daigo evil ryu combo from Ultra Street Fighter IV, featuring 5 one-frame links??? Let's see how good my 1 frame game is in SF4!!
If you wanna see me attempt Evo Moment 37: • How Hard is the Daigo ...

[@mansmo9513]

Many other players had similar or even better execution than Daigo, like Sako for-example . but Daigo displays his skill in the tensest of moments. what a showman.

[@CamXXL]

I wonder if JM can do Sakos Bulleta infinite in Vsav2

[@tedjomuljono3052]

People pulls these things in a lab, Daigo does this in EVO & CPT If JM and the other guys wanted to recreate this, try against an actual opponent that fights back, preferably momochi himself

[@MrCactuar13]

@@tedjomuljono3052 and then there's the guys that just call out people in the comments sections

[@GinkgoPete]

@@tedjomuljono3052 JM actually has momochi on speed dial and he 10-0d him seconds after this was recorded he then said tedjo muljono is a scrub and went on to body Xian infiltration and John choi (in SF2) just for good measure.

[@Vic-tz3gl]

I think you gave the best explanation of plinking I've heard honestly. Really appreciated that

[@tonyelectionfraud669]

You must not have been lookin hard then brother! Jmcroft with the knowledge tho

[@Vic-tz3gl]

@@tonyelectionfraud669 I mostly play Tekken so yeah learning what a plink is isn't exactly a priority. But I've had ppl explain it to me before and didn't quite get it. Like I got part of what they were saying but couldn't put it all the way together.

[@nivyan]

@@Vic-tz3gl It's the same mechanic as input buffering, I think it's called, in Tekkken. Ie. you can hold one button down, and press another and the game will register it as the first, then both. The difference is that Tekken' timing is infinite, and games that allow plinking is very short. It's to allow ex-moves and other multiple-button moves to reliably come out without being able to input buffer - plinking is a side-effect of that.

[@Vic-tz3gl]

@@nivyan yeah button buffering is similar to plinking in the sense of how it's performed but I don't know a whole lot about 2D games. I'm a casual enjoyer. So JMC's explanation was really helpful in explaining what it is (which I knew coming in) and what it does (something that I didn't understand before)

[@RTU130]

Ye

[@Giraffinator]

gotta do it optimally for that 3 points of damage

[@parafaust6201]

It's about sending a message

[@giraffehater2674]

That's an interesting name you got there...

[@trax72]

Now you got the rest of your life to do the Sako combo. 😆

[@j4ff4c3ks1]

While everyone is of course impressed by Daigo's execution, I think one should also appreciate the sheer amount of hard-ass practice one must have just to remember a combo this long and intricate to be able to recall and whip it out at a hitconfirm's notice

[@Bodied]

Remembering it isn't that hard tbh. At the point you've practiced it so much that you can do it without dropping it, your hands do all the remembering. You don't have to worry about forgetting the combo at that point

[@jackjackson3942]

@@Bodied Yeah that's what he said lol

[@Kalulosu]

Here it's out of a stun so not really a hit confirm notice ;) I think players of Daigo's caliber (aka toppest of world class) definitely pratice stun setups (mid stage vs corner for example), because when you gotta optimize you gotta optimize.

[@Yoloslides]

It's mostly a loop, there aint much to remember.

[@Ock_mantis]

These comments lmao. Anyway i agree with you.

[@mrefish289]

You gotta respect JM for watching it back and fixing the light punch error. It takes a big man to go back in.

[@Kaitos11]

Yeah! I would've been like "Close enough, I'm done."

[@Krubbe]

Man this took me back. That moment is ICONIC

[@UnlimitedSwordMagic]

That match was crazy. Momochi and Daigo were on fire that day lol The perfect Momochi landed and the Ultra 2 reaction at Daigo's fireball really impressed me at the time as well lol They were beasts at SF4, Jesus Christ

[@fernandofelix892]

You should do when Snake Eyez ran through the whole Team Norcal. It was one of the hype moments in fighting game history.

Peasants, Diago did NOT use this method! 😎

[@kumaSOevl]

“Epic moments in FGC history”

[@elcheshireilustracion9396]

Already recommended this one in another FGC history video. I really hope he does. Still one of the hypest things I´ve seen. That alone cemented Snake Eyez as one of my fav FGC people.

[@johnolmos8670]

Snake Eyez Zangief combos were like something out of MvC

[@pistolshr1mp]

Here after watching brian_F doing this in 47 seconds. Respect for pledging and paying up the 15 subs.

[@wanderingslacker]

‘Daigo Umehare-ga, Umehare-ga!’ ‘Shoryuken! Shoryuken! Wut you sayin?’ Fucking love the commentary on that clip. Great job JM. Now I want to try and do this.

[@AnhDonoi]

The commentary shoots that match into the hall of fame

[@Stinger420]

Hey, how ya doin'? Your comment reminded me of the 'What Happun?' SF: The Movie The Game video. Hehe....Your quoting the announcers reminded me of this part talking about how bad the voice-over audio is. How the actors were incapable of saying the names of the moves correctly. At one point he says, "They couldn't learn these sounds that most gamers could say in their sleep!" LoL Not that hard... Ha-Doo-Ken!....etc... It was so funny! Matt McMuscles, he says to the effect of, "They had an arcade machine on set, they would perform the move over and over so they could hear it. They had even written notes, spelling it out, phonetically...." There's like one more line, but the next scene is Ken doing a Dragon Punch, and all you hear is "Dragon! Dragon!" and even that it sounds like the very end of the word is cut off a bit... Ha! Ahhh, too good, too good.... :-D

[@sl11tenderhand]

F-Word & Logan Sama are an under-appreciated commentary duo.

[@triniomari]

Hahahaha great commentary

[@ToranosukeEdo]

Inspirational. SFIV combos require such high level execution- crazy to think about doing multiple 1-frame links like that in tournament even with plinking

[@callmetravesty8762]

While plinking makes it easier, 1/60th of a second x 2 is still only 2/60ths of a second. Absolutely nuts.

[@rem714]

Love your work as a chronicler of fighting game history - Please do more!

[@leoalcaraz6153]

We appreciate all the archived stuff you’re like a fighting game historian

[@CHEESENSPIEL]

best part of that moment for me is Fword and Logan's commentary 'shoryuken! shoryuken! wot u sayin?'

[@eliudzamora3578]

I watched this moment live and it blew my mind! Please keep making videos like these, its amazing to see how much skills this kind of stuff takes to pull off.

[@Slushy916]

Man love these vids from you. You break these vids down so well! Thank you!!

[@mvsniper]

Good stuff JM. Even on terrible days I can watch your content and still smile. Please keep it up!

One of my other favorite Daigo moments. Was fortunate to catch the match when it aired live and the commentators just took it to the next level.

[@zacharypilot8256]

The sheer professionalism to see you did light jab instead of medium and DOING IT AGAIN. This is why I love your content, man: the dedication!

Just a week or two ago I was wondering when we might get another of these Fighting Game history videos from you, love these so much, please make more!!

[@Baatosanabe]

Definitely I love learning about all these epic moments in FCG history as a person who has been a casual on and off since SF4

[@justingoers]

Nice work! Hell yeah. Love this kind of content.

[@PatriciaCross]

This is actually a great lesson in how to.learn certain combos by breaking them up into segments. It might be a great idea to do some more videos where you learn combos like these; but edited and presented in a way that also teaches viewers how to lab combos and techniques.

[@HeirofDacia]

That's how musicians learn songs on different instruments: They break said songs down into segments, then practice the parts they're bad at independently.

[@PatriciaCross]

@@HeirofDacia I know. But this may not be obvious to everyone. I imagine a lot of people are trying to grind through comboes without breaking them down

[@lft4ded]

Congrats! Very impressive. Just mastering it is impressive! I can't imagine having this in my back pocket just whenever...or even developing it in the first place.

[@chillpill1649]

Love these types of videos!!

[@Fleetw00d]

I remember this match making me feel like this was the pinnacle of SF4.

[@retrostart8681]

Hope they made an Evo featuring all those legendary fighting games 🤧 That would be awesome

[@arik2216]

Lowtiergod vs Vincent was the the pinnacle of street fighter

[@Bodied]

I definitely like this style of video a lot for you though for sure! And watching you try to do the hard combos

[@risemixFGC]

Heads up, if you do a light fireball for the first cancel it moves more slowly which gives you more time to link the cr.MP. Daigo used a light fireball I think

[@b1xte150]

amazing upload timing i had just ran out of good things to watch

[@Alphadog_rsa]

This got me so hyped up I love labbing combos

[@Spiritofdarkandlonelywater]

learning combos like this reminds me of learning guitar riffs; especially dividing 14 hit combos, or 14 note riffs (for example) into a few sections, and then linking them together.

[@JohnSmith-hf8zn]

My brain would have shut down 10 minutes in

[@No0neat]

Momochi: *Gets a perfect* Daigo: So you chose.. 1-frame links.

[@Brokout]

Would love to see more SF4 action, this is great, thanks!

[@xRhychux]

Watched this live, so hype

[@RisingJericho]

I was going to comment "Lol this is gonna be like 2 hours" but holy shit it actually did take that long

[@Seblis]

As for "are people interested in such videos": normally I wouldn't be, because I am not very familiar with SF gameplay. The analysis at the beginning allowed me to understand and enjoy the video.

[@tyrenace6597]

Brian F said you gota do the Sako combos now.

[@trmu6729]

Funny enough, this was my "first" moment that introduced Daigo, FGC and commentators like WSO Logan.

Nice work my guy. I haven't played any street fighter in 7 years haha but I'll definitely be giving this a shot once I'm settled into my apartment with this game at the ready.

[@mauliksharma]

These kinds of vids are great. Too many fighting moments need a deeper dive

[@deep_amok]

The funny part is that Daigo probably did that just to send a message: "You think that perfect meant something? No."

[@jeftielmorales8945]

Dude your great!! 😁😁😁 love your videos indeed . Keep at it . I'm pretty sure you've played bloody roar . It would be a cool add to your collection of fighting games

[@valentijn9]

So the 7 additional combo hits were pre stun? And they count as one combo?

[@MrYoumitube]

This is Daigo man!!! Daigo is the king of doing the extremelyyyyyyy difficult on the biggest stages. Daigo is like the MJ23 of Streetfighter. He is the GOAT. He can get washed and Washed and then pull out a set nobody and I mean nobody can do...

[@marekcalcote1]

Back in the day when I was in Japan about 10 years ago, everyone who’s playing street fighter was using this technique. All the people in the arcade have taught me what it does but I still could not grasp what it does fully but I did it anyway since I was playing street fighter. Regardless it was still extremely difficult to connect combos and to make that to a consistent and stable level? It’s just out of this world. That’s why these top level fighters still amazes me even to this day.

[@Shearsss]

Good content!

[@PomadaGaming]

Been trying this for 4 days in and off. Got to the point I learnt plinking on pad just for this lol. Gddamn bro

[@matth5952]

I want to see the Panda Crew try this lol. They've been running through the training combos, time to give them an actual hard ass challenge. JWong and Punk can't possibly call this one free lol
