you can't ever understate this match as one of the cornerstones of modern footsies, forged straight out of the OG era

I keep coming back to this match to watch a great example of the footsie game. No vortex, no bullshit, rarely any frame traps, just solid footsies.

[@LeeGinSing]

This one and the their Madcatz match -- I love watching them both over and over.

+CharmingRogue there are frame traps all the way through this lmao bruh if you dont know frame traps you're shit

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

@@99superjesus Valle's frametrap When he just stood there for Daigo's wake up was all tension. "What are you going to do!?", and he goes for a grab. Smart, but Daigo caught on.

***** Nah the prior statement is truer. Daigo is the beast after all.

Valle is not as good as Daigo. He always loses to him.

[@d3nyd]

OH MY GOD THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS Those rounds ALONE had me jumping out of my chair. I haven't even gotten past the first match but I can already tell this game was the highlight of the tournament.

[@murphboys]

this match stands the tests of time. This is how sf4 was intended

[@joqqeman]

Bit late to the party but things can be appreciated but also boring. Nothing wrong with boring as such, it was tense stuff. But also somewhat repetitive and boring..

[@murphboys]

just came back to watch this match again and i see my comment from 2 years ago. I think that there are "boring" parts of this match, but i think that is what makes this match so exciting. (almost) every fireball thrown has a risk associated to it. They are showing their opponent at what they are willing to bite at, and what risks they are willing to take. The "boring" parts set the stage for the big reads later in the match.

[@user-iv1nx5ik5f]

@@joqqeman i think because you might not understand what was happening in this match it goes deeper than pushing buttons and being repetitive. Like Boxing and Tennis. This match right here was high in mental games. Countering, timing, patience and adjustments all in mere seconds reading the man not the game.

[@barryjdwyer]

Calipower Ryu vs. Umehara Ryu. The best SFIV set ever. Thumbs if you're watching in 2016 post SFV release. The footsies handbook was written for this.

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

Sf4 25th anniversary Daigo vs Infiltration winners finals!

[@SeriousStu]

I think this is probably my favourite high-level match I've ever watched for SSF4, which I find really odd as I gave up Ryu as my main because I got bored of him. But THESE guys...! Man! What an incredible match!

[@pedroaraujo4845]

That's one of the most brilliant matches of all the fighting games history! The high level of gameplay and technique for both are still astonishing!!!

[@SethKasso]

This is SF at its most pure. A beautiful display of fundamentals and risk management.

Daniel Masterson honestly it gets much more hate than it deserves because it’s not SF4. It’s SF5 for a reason it’s not meant to be a replica of 4, people need to move on so they can actually appreciate the game

@@TheCldmstrsn SF5 is the worst fighting game ever made.

Still in my opinion one of the best matches of 2010, one of the truest forms of high level play between two of the best players in the SF Universe.

i never thought i'd ever be entertained by a ryu mirror match, and this proved me wrong

I need more Valle vs Daigo Sf4 matches. They didn't compete that often. Always fun to watch them both go at it. Two amazing players.

This the best SF4 match I've seen.

[@FishStix1]

this was one of my favorite matches of the entire tournament. SO epic :D

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

I just started practicing Street Fighter. After years of getting my ass kicked by my brothers and not knowing where I was going wrong, it's great to finally understand, to a certain extent, what players are doing. This is definitely the best match I've seen, and Alex Valle is my favorite. West Coast!

[@Gonbebe]

I've always loved watching these guys fight it out over the years. Also, the footsies in this match are insane!

Best Ryu mirror match I have ever seen. Who can hate on Daigo's and Valle's performance?! These two know how to put on a great show for the crowd. Just like watching a pro wrestling match. Or a great boxing match.

[@lazyboyterry]

Daigo and Valle, this was where all began. 15 years ago. 15 years later, Valle said to Daigo "you are the best Ryu in the world". from 2 young boys to 2 grown up men, i think at this point, Valle is going to fade away from tournys. cuz there is nothing for him to prove, and 1 final battle with Daigo, a perfect Ryu mirror match, and a tearful ending.

[@Blactor]

SIIIIIIIIICK match, LOVED. IT.

[@b3nz0r]

Absolutely epic.

[@BryanV4]

Damn, insane match. Valle made some huge comebacks, tbh if he continues to battle him he has a good shot, very solid ryu.

[@DestructiveVirusX]

Amazing match between 2 legends.

No matter how many characters in street fighter are, the real fundamentals are shown when it comes to a Ryu VS Ryu mirror match. Both of these guys can keep fighting each other and I can watch like all day long.
