[@MrYoumitube]

Daigo may not be as dominant as he used to be and winning tournaments, but he has nothing left to prove. IMO he is the GOAT and he still shows to this day when he is in "Beast" mode there ain't anybody like him on his level. There is no more aspiring player to watch than Daigo. I think the best players in SF currently playing are Daigo, Punk and Tokido but there is so much new blood from around the world who I'm sure learned so much from those players mentioned will bring entertainment to SF.

[@quanthinh3487]

He may be not as top as he used to be but he still surprised and got us hype many times in tournaments.

[@nanoua27]

A first to ten between Punk and Daigo would be the dream match to close the SFV era, maybe in the next Kemonomichi?

[@MrYoumitube]

Yes, but hmm I'm afraid Daigo is kinda past his prime although he still shows glimpses of what makes him the GOAT. If I remember Punk had an opportunity at Kemonomichi a few years back against Infectious and lost pretty bad.

[@shaqhashi6114]

@@MrYoumitube nah punk doesn't have the mental fortitude for a ft10 with daigo. I think punk will be beaten even harder than tokido tbh. Also Daigo isn't as strong as he was in sf4 era but he's relatively very strong for sf5 standards. Just a week ago he won Fav Cup. He's probably one of the top sf5 players as of rn. Him being weaker then his prime is just how time goes tbh.

Loved justin reactions especially as someone of the greats! Punk comments were salt its like he can't understand why Daigo is in THAT status.. well check the last 25 years and you will know why, i never found Guile exciting but daigo actually made it exciting to watch! The ability to learn and adapt thru the years is phenomenal, he's not the GOAT because of one game, but the ability and moments thru the years and to this day is just fantastic, its really really hard to stay relevant all thesr years, next evo gonna be exciting,i think he will make the best preformnce on that stage!

@@setxjrichie9745 yes I know what I'm talking about I been watching him since vampire savior year's and guilty gear on DVDs daigo only use broken characters so why he didn't use Ryu in thirdstrike 🤨 what about street fighter 4 balrog was crazy good in 4 why he didn't use him then and guile.

[@setxjrichie9745]

@humane Shadow It sounds like you're confusing "broken" with simply good, and that language is mostly represented by the type of person that makes up excuses every time they lose in anything. Asking why someone doesn't use Ryu in 3rd strike is genuinely stupid, and implying Chun, Ken, or Urien is "broken" in that game is equally as bad. Maybe clean up your understanding of the world before replying man.

Removing the invincibility was an acceptable loss but what really pisses me off is how you can safely grab a wake up non meter dp and it will work.

[@A2ZOMG]

That depends on which DP they're doing because in many cases, chars often have a throw invincible reversal. In Ryu's case his L.DP is throw invincible on f1. Keeping in mind because it's a Special, it doesn't follow Normal priority system meaning frame tight 3f traps can also trade with said DP.

Punk only became relevant when SFV came out because he was literally a child even when season 1 started. This video is also kind of deceiving with how it shows Punk’s opinion on Daigo. He is a huge Daigo fan and they’re good friends

[@stilmaho]

As Jooper said, Punk is quite young and also a huge Daigo fan. I think he wants to be considered a pillar like Daigo is but he needs to mature as a person first. Also, to be honest, I do agree with him on some of the points he makes. Ume-shoryu or ume-flashkick are a part of our jargon for a reason so I don't have a problem with that but videos like this one do exaggerate a lot.

Yeah, Justin is a character that respect others esp those who do earned it.
