I'm glad SF6 turned out such a great fighting game. It'll bring us many years of joy, guys.

[@richardbroad2848]

Probably not the right video to comment on with this but i hope they offer a stage music DLC at some point for this game. I really want to hear Kens (and others) classic theme roaring away as i fight.

[@fightinggamehype8363]

I think you speak for a lot of us

[@MeatSim64]

Soul Calibur VI did it, SF6 needs to do the same.

[@richardbroad2848]

I just think there are few moments in gaming like it. Round 3 when both of you are on 20% health and Ken/Guile/Ryu/Balrog theme is raging away faster and faster as the clock ticks down. I'd totally pay for that in this game. Maybe it's capcom being clever knowing people would want this!

[@bodacious12]

Isn't there sfv music on the battlepass or something

[@richardbroad2848]

@@bodacious12 I really dont think so but ill sure be checking.

2:07 OUCH

[@shirakani]

Daigo isn't a fast learner so he's definitely not the best Ken... so how does he make up for this shortcoming? Simple, grind the old fashioned way. This really shows his dedication.

[@dextershaman7154]

He dont copycat like others watcbing videos other great players he will evolve whom he played with and realize he has missed something. Americsn players watching japanese players a the time. Dont you think like menard, punk,etc they didnt study it jap olayers all the time.daigo is notbthe type of guy , iwatched him since sf4. Im 40 now who played well on fg..that the weakness of daigp peole studied him but he didnt mind thrm. Unlike tokido find ways eager to defeat daigo but daigo dont mind him his play, daigo just play who knows tokido char.daigo hasvold fashion attitude on game.

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

Daigo is old school . He comes from a time when gamer's learned and created. Just like Slayers_Boxer in Starcraft. He wasn't the best years later but his mind was creative. That's what is nice. Too many boring generic gamers these days thanks to youtubers/streamers and whatnot. Just like watching a lot of Starcraft 2 tournaments. So many players look like clones. Even when I watch the FPS elite players they bore me. I go back and watch Unreal 99 1v1 matches or Quake 3 and so fast, creative and fun. That's why you don't see games anymore like Crazy Taxi, Smash TV, NBA Jam or so because today all the games need to be dark, depressing end of the world 300 hour time sinks open world sandbox games without any color or imagination. Or then you have Sony AAA titles that are 20 hour cut scenes that have very little gameplay like Metal Gear. Daigo is sitll the one I go back to watch for win or lose to see how he adapts. He's from my generation. WE grew up with Street Fighter 2 in the arcades , delis, bowling alleys and all

[@cetaepsilon]

The best Ken is an exaggeration but actually he is a fast learner. He has a family and a business how would he have the time to grind ? The way he does in the last couple months is play casuals with his friends a.k.a all Japanese top players, get crushed and then devise the counter.

[@bokeheffect9430]

At the time he was ranked #1 online

[@vvip790]

I dont think so rn, I'm a fan of him btw

[@VinceWhoWin]

He is capitalizing on optimal/low risk combos now interesting

[@owothus998]

Around 1950 is the most comfortable point for him right now.

[@japango1]

Daigo is a legend but the competition has significantly jumped up for SF6. Just watched a video of Itazan's Gief giving Dai a super hard time.

[@ForbiddenLinks]

If u had daigo from 10 - 15 years ago, with all his devotion and hard work focused on sf6 he would of wiped the floor with everyone

He’s struggling since SF5

How does he only spend 1 bar of gauge at 4:42? For the drive rush.

[@theofficialhankhill3280]

he presses 6, 6MPMK instead of MPMK, 66, hope that helps

[@Ming1975]

He got Itanzan wrong guessing on those oki.

[@ThaprobLem777]

How does he get heavy jinrai off a target combo after cancelling st.HP

[@salvatronprime9882]

So hilarious this game has been out less than 3 months and bronze ranks in this thread are trying to say Daigo is washed up

[@salvatronprime9882]

I guarantee 99.99% of people who say this have no skills of their own, no championship caliber player will ever say anything like this.

[@h445]

@@salvatronprime9882 i'm in agreeance daigo is perfecting high rank after high rank and making it look easy - yea real washed

Lol Daigo EX Hadokened a guy and the dude ended up in the corner! Biggest fattest EX Hadoken I ever saw

[@antelder2478]

I think he #2

[@moozel4757]

Will he make a comeback?

[@Laughing_Individual]

He doesn't have to. He's already earned his stripes plus he make makes big bucks from content creation. He's no longer a struggling competitor relying on tournament sponsors. He's fine where he is.

[@scottshaw-ip9tp]

His full time job is this game plus hes sick at it so its a given

[@dieterrosswag933]

Daigo is like Messi

[@Way_Of_The_Light]

No he’s like the GOAT Ronaldo 😇

[@dieterrosswag933]

@@Way_Of_The_Light tokido is the Ronaldo. Hard working. Daigo the Messi, naturally talented

[@Way_Of_The_Light]

@@dieterrosswag933 Daigo works really hard, you can tell from his twitch streams, from reading his book and his biography. Stats wise Daigo won the most EVO, just like how Ronaldo won the most UEFA champions league trophies and UEFA player of the year.

[@dieterrosswag933]

@@Way_Of_The_Light Messi is the one with more trophies and 3 levels over Ronaldo without even trying. Tokido is like Ronaldo that keeps crying when losing

[@Way_Of_The_Light]

@@dieterrosswag933 Messi’s trophies shows most quantity (most are just La Liga trophies and a few inferior Ligue 1 trophies) but Ronaldo has most quality and a more diverse trophy collection (most UCL trophies, multiple league titles from different leagues, including EPL which is the toughest league). Anyway only UCL and World Cups should be considered because they’re the biggest trophies of football. They’re like the EVO. Ronaldo won 5 of those and Messi won 4 (3 UCLs + 1 WC). Daigo won the most biggest SF tournaments and Ronaldo also won the most biggest football tournaments. So in terms of statistic similarities, Daigo’s stats are more similar to Ronaldo’s stats.

At best daigo is still a top 20 player. But he cant hang with the big boys anymore.

top 20 IN THE WORLD, out of millions of players. he is, in fact, a Big Boy™

Why every ken/ryu player are boring to watch or play
