SBO Muteki Guile vs Daigo (Ryu)

[@HardcoreGamer246]

0:56 is the proof that Daigo is not human.

[@phil4863]

He's a Taurus: Tauruses born May 19 are extremely motivated and are eager to put their personal stamp upon their environment. They have supreme confidence in their abilities and never shrink when it comes to doing what is expected of them. May 19 individuals are loners, but not in the traditional sense.

0.58 Daigo uses incredible skill to come back in a very tight spot. Emotion change from -_- to -__-

[@darthhiro7425]

I like how calm he can be under pressure, this is something that can't be attained easily

[@dudebfg0123]

Lol, Muteki looks so happy. I wouldn't expect him to be amazing at SF if I saw him in the streets.

[@ZhangHe2369]

he is always like that. He is an emotionless void of awesome. I have seen him smile... 3 times.

[@CodyRockLee13]

Two great players, no doubt. The thing I like and respect the most of both players' attitudes. Daigo is respectful to the opponent, constantly looking focused and not showing excitement over a win. I find that admirable. On the other hand, (there are different fingers) Muteki is always looking like he's having fun. I really like that. It gives off this nice-guy aura.

[@neves2493]

👏

[@Retroman2000]

I could watch this video over and over again, that's how AWESOME it is!!

[@jugandoconkev]

This video, as of now 2024, it’s 18 years old omg god, vids like this should be kept forever

[@litozacky]

0:58 he took defeat to a whole new level

[@pat777b]

I know, Daigo's composure is just incredible. If he were in a life threatening situation, I wouldn't be surprised to see him handling it calmly and perfectly.

[@sohoshuffle]

0:56 Daigo: [To himself] Jesus im good.

[@rsaran1288]

Sweet flash kick by Muteki at 28 seconds kinda caught Daigo off guard. Heartbreak for Muteki, and Daigo was like "ho-hum". Priceless reactions by both players!

[@quakecon2009]

0:32 I love how he jumps over the super, do you realise how utterly terrifying that is to do in a comp vs daigo? 9/10 players would just take the block damage all day long. Amazing then he somewhat threw the round away after playing it to perfection for so long. Easier said than done I know.

[@jigen219]

0:58 daigo thinking "DAMN i'm good, these people just don't know" muteki "my eyes, my eyes, too much salt in my eyes.. ok i'm ready"

[@Anbushadow]

Geez Daigo's face is just so calm and collected, so entirely focused like an ice man. I don't think the beast is not enough to describe Daigo, I think they should call him Daigo "The Ice Beast" Umehara.

[@neves2493]

Uoauuuuuu!!!!!!!! Good nickname kkkk! Perfect! Daigo (INTP) The Beast of Ice

[@Heero_NL]

Daigo's cold as ice! show some emotion!

[@desistyle3]

HAHAHAH, that was priceless. Daigo is straight faced while the other guy is having fun..haha

[@EuSouRCS]

The classic Daigo "low medium kick then hadouken" Umehara!

[@EricardEX]

I love Muteki's reactions: 1st Taunt: Damn!!! That was so close!!! 2nd Taunt: Alright!!! Come on!!! One more to go!!! 3rd Taunt: Damn!!! He kills me so hard!!!

[@luken27]

@SMQonDemand For some reason there is no thumbs up button. Very good explanation, people need to read your post because you explained it perfectly.

[@ThisGuyJohn]

"I ALMOST HAD YOU DAWG!" is written all over dude's face. LOL

[@raphealred]

you can say who gonna win by looking at their face. Daigo is so calm .

[@midnizite]

@MrShadowz1337 he was keeping him at bay with fireballs, which is a defensive tactic. He switched to offensive at the end and actually attacked, which is offensive. Fireballs in of themselves are offensive, but the way Daigo used them was defensive.

[@LeoPirate]

I don't know why, but Daigo's expression (or complete lack of) kinda creeps me out. In the first round, he makes a monumental comeback with a super move finish and doesn't even smile. He just gives that empty blank stare at the screen.

[@krazziejrboi]

Daigo so humble, dude is a beast.

[@dkblade27]

lmfao!! that expression is so damn hilarious. Daigo is the man. I still can't believe how he comebacks even when he has near no health all the time.

[@rustymixer2886]

1:30 to 1:38 dope

[@mayakashiii]

hm...what turbo mode is played on tournaments? turbo 2 or 3? this is turbo 3, but I saw most videos are turbo 2.

[@Looc105]

i just downloaded street fighter 2 turbo hyper or something this is super street fighter is it only on arcade?

[@PheNOMofHDC]

He is more technical in SF4 with the FADC. He did win the international Gamestop SF4 tournament. As for the hadouken spamming, do what it legally takes to win. It is SBO, the only tournament bigger than EVO.

[@MrIrrepressible]

The japanese commentator just makes an exciting match even more exciting, even tho I dont understand what he was saying, I felt the excitment in his voice.

[@CygnusVoltorb]

Thus, the legend began.

[@SwordXEvil]

Is turbo 3 mode is available only on arcade??

[@doctorpop101]

Great comeback from Daigo in the first round.

[@pspboy7]

I like watching these hehe, its cool and funny at the same time, they sure take their games seriously :)

[@jetsyrup]

1:26 I'm pretty sure Ryu's crouching roundhouse was supposed to cancel into a hadouken. Sometimes I get the motions wrong and a shoryuken comes out instead in that exact same situation. I'm going to assume that's what happened here as well. It's good to know that even Daigo fucks up on the input occasionally.

[@fliperotchy]

@HinataChan30 you're thinking about it too shallowly. medium level sf2 play is crazy back and forth with comebacks and stuff. high level is so evolved that this "stalemate" is actually an intense mind game to make the other player mess up. just waych some videos of some japanese t. hawk players. once they get in, they win. no mistakes.

[@TutNStrut]

He had that first round locked up but, he chocked. Second round, good come back off the super. Third...Daigo worked his magic.

[@DeathN0te]

Does anybody know what the announcer says when daigo makes the super comback..?

[@Zalozis]

@killinunderoath Not true. He smiled at EVO2011 against Showstopper. It was very rare footage of Daigo actually smiling.

[@carlosdaballer17]

srry i just got heated wen u called me dumb XD but yea Daigo does have alot potential i can see why u like him though i saw his video of Evo 2004 (the beast is unleashed) when he battled Justin Wong. it was amazing how he was able to parry Justin's Super Combo, the timing and precision he used to parry the ENTIRE super was epic.

[@Darkkefka]

I noticed that they do the tech bonuses everytime they get thrown. How do you do that?

[@criticalking]

its sucks that this is not going to be at SBO this year

[@Looc105]

do pros play only on those or ps2 and stuff

[@rocknflip66]

is there any more muteki vs daigo vids?

[@yiggs]

:P those aren't old vids. It's ST, not the original SF2

[@jerseyfame]

Ryu is a joy to use when you want to destroy your opponent. Whether you are spamming or not doesnt even cross your mind. You just want to win. Guile by design is a methodical knockout artist. Players who choose him are deciding they want not only a challenge but a conquest. They know it will be hard to battle the hadouken spam and go forward anyway. This is a great Guile player. It shows that hadouken spam is hard to beat and when daigo does it...forget it. Respect to the Guile player.

[@kuwabaraGantz]

@reniisgod understatement, muteki is a beast, probably the best Guile player in ST.

[@BrandonNielsen87]

Daigo made me laugh. He looked so serious.

[@Zeronichi]

it's something I think that was added in the Super version. Basically both players try to throw each other at the almost the same time. it lessen the damage to the one getting thrown

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

That depends. Top tier, high, mid, low. How many levels do you go by ? As far as i know, Ryu is high.

[@RAEN74]

hahah thats the funniest reaction ever!! GREAT call on the first roud HAHAHAHAHA

[@dwb17]

@silversquall but i'm not really going to argue this much longer. yes i understand "if it works why not use it", but personaly i think that kind of sucks. but to each is own, we all play differently (i assume). as far as the whole "casual" accusation, idk where i fall in it because i play street fighter a lot in the past (and street fighter like games, never competed though), but i haven't been able to get the games myself so now i just play when i get the opportunity (and it's rare now).

[@ZhangHe2369]

I stand corrected. i was going off the top of my head, but you are correct.

[@LeBlanckL]

haha god damnit i love how emotionless and beastly daigo is and yet the other guy is the exact opposite. fuck.

[@Jago7159]

lol @ daigo's face expression, isn't wavered by emotion at all, sign of a true focused champion

[@DatCrossGuy]

this is from the 1st ever sbo?

[@acadamiadeluxez661]

Such an epic fight

[@youngbrahms]

[@ZhangHe2369]

if you do the input of a throw within 14 frames of being thrown, you will reduce the damage by half. If you would have been knocked out by the throw at full damage but live if teched, you will still loose (but you will fall as if you teched). It can't be used on holds (Boxer's head but, and Dhalsim's noogie).

[@Mugen123456789]

@lordjimbo2 I've seen him win using Boxer so what are you talking about?

[@GETURHANDSUP916]

Why does Muteki do jabs right after Sonic Booms?

[@homie8333]

The title should really be renamed to "Man vs Machine". Lol

[@jebril]

@TheDonaldduck911 The only thing I argued was that it was cheap situation and that people who were complaining about spamming were saying that. I understand what he was doing as explained in a previous comment.

[@popertop]

which one? To do sonic boom, you hold back and then press forward and punch. To do his super, you hold down/back, then press down/forward, down, down/back, up/back + kick.

[@lilAzNAJ13]

Dam Diago always looks calm... good video... I also use Ryu in this game... Nothing but spamming fireballs and upper cuts if they jump =D

[@DandyDLC]

its the arcade version. they are playing on a head to head arcade cabinet setup.

[@jideoz]

exciting match! wonder why vertical jumps weren't an option for muteki while daigo fireballs eat his health. anyway, their post round reactions are a whole other story! you know things ain't so bad if you lose at a close round 3 to daigo and you're feeling just so tickled. cracked me up! they could form a comedy duo if this doesn't work out for 'em!

[@RafaelPellizzari]

@IrrepressibleGuile I could get it when he says SHINKUU HADOU at the end of the first round, and DOUBLE SOMERSAULT when Guile lands his super at the second round. But really, Japanese commentators are amazing.

[@Reyfii]

so that dude playing him is named muteki guile?

[@OrangeJoe0101]

@GothicJaime Im not but I still know the difference between spamming aka just throwing things out constantly with no knowledge of footsies, set-ups, and whatnot and good zoning. Ryu isnt a rush-down character, he is a zoning character, especially in SF2.

[@DandyDLC]

he didnt have t jump to get out of the trap. as you can see in the video, he traded a sonic bom with one and got a guaranteed backfist. theres more ways around fireballs than jumping forward.

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

No, i believe he enjoys it just the way he is !

[@Peetar]

Great match. What I don't get though is why Muteki jabs in between sonic booms (00:19, 00:21, 00:30). Really seems pointless and potentially dangerous if he gets caught by a poke. Maybe it's to fake Daigo out?

[@wusb8]

isnt Daigo a Ken player in street fighter?

[@inaantok]

i think that's not cheap. the "fireball trap" is one of ryu's assets. that's one of the key elements of ssf2t. its just that daigo executed it well. he gained my respect more.

[@HammerMountain]

it is not cheap its just the fact that ryu has a big advantage when cornering someone the simple fact is that guile is a mid range character but once he gets backed up it over unless you get out of the corner or produce a ridiculous combo that gets you out. I myself am a guile player

[@yahoo1o1]

great post:)

[@IsThatSmoothJazz]

It's called staying calm under pressure.

[@DandyDLC]

you hve to block 2 fireballs, the first meaty then then 2nd, whether its jab/strong/fierce. then you can match the next with a sonic boom. if they jump the boom, you have enough time to at least trade with low fierce or another anti-air normal.

[@zerocoolproduction5246]

-___- this is Daigo making an incredible comeback

[@SaltyRamen.]

0:35, is Daigo planning these comebacks? cause they are epic

[@Speedygi81]

Daigo = Patience personified...

[@Umi_Pumi]

I've watched a lot of Daigo videos and I think, this guy is taking it all a bit to serious. xD He never smiles after a win I would be totally happy.

[@SeraphicKnightX]

When you lose from that kind of an advantage, what else can you do?

[@PieManZXY]

Counted, 44 Hadoukens. 5 Fire Hadoukens. 2 Shinku Hadoukens. Damn.

[@SeraphicKnightX]

I can see why you would think so. But he is just calm and sedate where others are not, don't mistake that for arrogance.

[@carlosdaballer17]

yea i kno, but its kind of hard to do that and it takes a while becuz u need to charge the sonic boom for 2 seconds plus when ur in the wall corner, its hard to anticipate wat the opponent might do..... he might throw projectiles at you, grab you, use an anti-air attack, etc. :p

[@RaishinX]

Nope. Although the commentator says that Daigo is angry, there's no actual footage of Daigo's facial expression or any indication (other than the commentary and massive rushdown) that Daigo's angry.

[@YadonTheCat]

damn that first round's end was awesome

[@chaos1778]

it's true that it can be difficult to counter someone's "spam" strategy when they know what they're doing, but that's what makes victory MUCH more sweeter if you do win, and ultimately, it's also what makes fighting games entertaining, winning a match when victory seems ALMOST impossible especially if it's against a guy like Daigo who dishes out a near infinite amount of fireballs in this game. but that's just my opinion.

[@bloodriotiori]

lol at the end of round 2, daigo's like "alright bitch fuck you, it's on now" all with that little face he gave ^_^

[@G0dmaster]

lol I love the shots of them after the first round...the loser actually seems happier

[@rafarib]

whats SBO ? My city (brasil) calls SBO =/

[@messiangel]

Que puta sangre fría que tiene Daigo, y tiene unos cuantos combates ganados sin que le quede prácticamente vida y al oponente casi toda. Que fiera macho!!

[@ultrakelv]

@finch5280 um ok you assume there is spamming in tournament level SF but to me there isn't. There is a strategy to use projectiles to pressure your opponent. However, the spamming you see is what a noob does regardless of situations therefore its easily punishable. You don't need great skills to punish a noob do you??

[@EniGzz]

dammm that would be fun if it was in the UK

[@stretchypants123]

That was awesome!
