11:30 Daigo: Call an ambulance... ...But not for me -> wake up Lvl3

[@jayro792]

He should have done raging demon and then called the grim reaper lol

[@HulksterInHeaven]

Nemo jumped thinking it was a demon

[@Caiocsilveira]

The fact that Akuma came up a few days ago and Daigo was able to deliver this high level matchs is incredible.

[@notnoaintno5134]

Akuma has been pretty much the same char for a long time

[@useruser-tc7xx]

8:04 that side switch is so dirty!! 😆

[@stern2701]

What I love about Daigo is that he doesn’t just do the same setups he really adapts and tries to read his opponents. He could be more aggressive though because people different now lol.

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Daigo's Akuma sucks bro I'm sorry 😂 He's a legend but, he just doesn't have a great Akuma at all Something to do with his personality and game style temperament It just doesn't work for Akuma

[@stern2701]

@@danielsmithiv1279 never said his akuma was good or bad. He should be more aggressive, but I like his play style. Guile and Ken are more his speed than Akuma is but it’s fine to try new character.

I like Street Fighter a lot. Notice how Street Fighter characters are aging and tie there storylines to real life events. I wouldn’t be surprised if Capcom will start killing off some of these characters or retire them. Maybe see a grandmaster Ryu.

[@dariang4725]

Lol and MenaRD has the audacity to whine about Blanka nerfs when he's still top 3 easily. Especially now. Once he knocks you down you have to guess right 10 times to get out of blanka doll setups in the corner. If you guess wrong once you're earing 40% min, and Nemo has setups that loop the doll.

[@arabella1747]

I Miss birdie 😅,Menard the best🎉

[@Mandingo_]

they should add knockdown properties on one of his loops. maybe the doll

[@ninjako6255]

It's seems like something even pro players can't resist, I guess nobody wants to lose any sense of advantage they get lol

[@lolmouf]

Bruh, you would be bitching about any character who won the cup. Menard is gangsta and can clean house with anybody. No other Blankas come even close to his tournament placement.

[@walterflo7463]

Blanka has been one of my favorites since the early release of SF. What I totally dislike is how the game developers decided to make Blanka’s fighting stands look like if he was an ape or some kind of a monkey versus the early edition of Blanka where he appeared as this rare man beast with heavy breathing ready to kick ass.

Parry + Jabs Blanka will start maneuvering for throws. I've fought up to diamond 3-4 Blankas so can't speak to the masters or legends by any stretch, but it does change diamond-rank gameplay to a more predictable fight.

Is there something that triggers the block at 2:17 during the super? Is it using more bars or something?

[@pokefriends3]

its the CA version of the lvl 3 super.

[@gavinpowell4607]

When you have 3 bars and then your health drops to 25%, it gives you a stronger lvl 3 Super for that critical moment. SF6 has been designed around recreating the Daigo Parry excitement from 2004

It's not even close to a corner pressure, it's just fancy moves that most characters don't have.

@@teelee8760 ...that's what corner pressure is... he has him in the corner trying to open him up... and spoilers every character has fancy moves that the others don't.

[@jRSJH2YZxPJDKp]

The newly buffed drive reversal are pretty good solution for one. Another option is to parry or block. Unless you are fighting against Blanka on the level of Nemo or ProblemX, you most likely only have to guess once to get out of the corner.
