SSF4 AE: Daigo Umehara (Ryu/Yun) vs Filipino Champ (Dhalsim) - Casuals at NCR 9

[@jasonyantentorres3763]

whoever is reading this in 2020 I gotta say this 240p video is more exciting to watch than a 4k SF5 match.

[@stolensentience]

Easy lol

[@yostokies]

2024… better than sf6 too

[@Aulmeyda]

I just want to say right now that I love these commentators. I don't play Street Fighter at all, and they help understand the situation much better.

[@SpoonOfHawaii]

Man that RYUvsSIM match was awesome. It's always fun watching tactical matches.

[@Mazzolli]

is Daigo the pixel on the left, or the pixel on the right?

[@Styraxtwinblade]

HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS PIXEL!

[@TonyMontanas]

What a beast Daigo is. Made the Sim-Ryu matchup look even. In fact he could of won it 3-1 if he hadn't missed his Ultra. He made the Yun-Sim match look completely free. I haven't seen Fchamp get blown up like that in a long time. Although I gotta say Daigo's Ryu and Fchamps Sim both looked a bit rusty.

[@NurseLee]

Man that down Fierce into Shinku was Amazing! Just like the amazing Shoryuken into Shinku(Full Screen) back in SFIV to Iyo's Dhalsim

[@normalguycap]

I agree with you. I wonder how much we can say any gameplay we see is actual skill versus simple lucky moments with attack differences.

[@PeeteZa]

I like how the transition from Ryu to Yun ... the patience just dies haha

[@morenojacob2]

you know your a badass when they name a combo after you

[@JyunCheng]

Each time I watch this video when Daigo using Yun,I don't why I smile cunningly

[@darkblue2700]

He didn't block, he absorbed it, thats why. It's part of the game

[@kasumimoon1961]

this was such a good match! and seriously the best commentating ever which is like a good combo :D and i like watching daigo play cause he may seem overrated to me at times but i really learn a lot from him(i think everyone else does too) XD

[@krsynx]

Yun is Daigo's Ace up his sleeve.

[@idontseeynot9]

seth brings a classiness to this medium that goes a long way. It feels like im watching espn when hess commenting. when i hear chris hu i laugh, but its not the same

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Because he's not spamming fireballs; Ryu's fireballs are easy to punish if you're just spamming them, which is not what Daigo is doing. He's not just randomly throwing fireballs, he knows exactly what he's doing, when exactly to throw the fireball, so that he can bait in whoever he's playing and win. He's doing exactly what he should be doing; playing to Ryu's strengths.

[@MagnetiX]

Jeez, Daigo made Sim-Ryu matchup look 5/5 and made Yun-Sim matchup look 10-0...fuckin beast. No joke, I actually felt bad for F.Champ after the second match, that was just brutal

[@vulapa]

I like how people are complaining about a really good Dhalsim player using his knowledge of spacing to his advantage. I care less who's playing it; he can keep his ground with the Beast.

[@SaigaTenshi]

this is a match to remember.... FIGHT!!!

[@財帽子]

ユンはやばいと再確認した それでもチャンプがラウンド取り返したところは熱かった

[@Djsolidity]

if casuals are this intense i can't even imagine the actual tournament o.o

[@wanmigchampo11]

This is one of the rare times where Daigo picks character change in the middle of the tournament match... I was quite surprised to see his Ryu again and even though I have to go for my Filipino representative... I still prefer Daigo but cudos to Champ as well

[@Aergaia]

this was a casuals not a tournament

[@Nutube-6P1]

240p. That's not a record in 2011. It's in 1991on VHS!

[@Cr1mSiR]

"a wins a win": the life philosophy of dhalsim players.

[@HylianGirl56]

I can honestly say this is the best SSF4 match I've ever watched... it takes colossal amounts of skill to get to this level of mind play, prediction and performance, furthermore, to be able to perform those plays under such pressure... no words can describe how much skill is required to perform like that.

[@Singe125]

It's an best of 5 lol exhibition. He mained Yun in AE, the Ryu vs Dhalsim was meant to entertain the crowd while they wait for one of their players. They played a best of 5 with Ryu, then played a best of 5 with Yun.

[@Panthro-lo2lh]

Daigo (Ryu) vs Filipino Champ is like watching golf. Even the announcers sound like golf announcers.

[@TruGouki]

omg when he switched to Yun that shit was just soo freeee

[@etherealwtf]

@malgab Yes i forgot to mention that. He already lost versus Filipino's Dhalsim when he used to play Ryu. I think he does respect the fighter (Filipino doesnt look like the typical american fighter). That's maybe why he didn't want to inflict the Yun - Dhalsim matchup ealier.

[@bobba515]

That is Seth Killian, former employee of Capcom and Street Fighter commentator for decades, before you were born.

[@shippuudendujeudi]

@70k0 oh i forgot the yoga tower, whoaaa havent seen a sim player pulling off the YOGA TOWER. you must be godlike like champ to do that. skill right there!

[@Phantom90xXx]

Amazing how the game turned south right after the switch to yun. Who thought divekicks were a good idea in fighters lol

[@TonyMontanas]

Based on this performance it's obvious that Champ is not familiar with the matchup yet. Give him some time to learn it, and work on it, and it will still be tough for him i'm sure, but he won't look so free.

[@wia729]

I like how as the video progresses more and more guys sit around that seemingly pretty girl. :D

[@k0ngbuster]

@Sx3KingKai That's good to hear. IS Yang actually beatable now?

[@FGCSimSim]

Also, Seth Killian mentioned that Dhalsim had gotten buffed slightly here and there, and that it resulted in a better punisher from Dhalsim. If this was the intention, Capcom has mad a misstake, since Dhalsim's best punisher without super or ultra in Super was: db.hp->b.mk->light flame for 258 dmg and his new best is: dp.hp->b.mk->ex flame for 246 dmg, and that is wasting one bar!

[@webterrestrial]

@Shinorai - yea same here. Daigo vs Ricky Ortiz in EVO 2010 Grand Finals was also an epic match! Made me wanna play SSFIV! There are a few other great players like Champ, Arturo (both really smart players), Mago, and GamerBee, JsMaster, and others that make you wanna play! All those guys can play but seem to understand the game really well!

[@MishimaStyleJin]

i'm wondering who started that whole "aye aye aye..." thing.

[@1blueeye]

Excellent commentators. Obviously excellent match.

[@danielalejandrohb]

And that's when Filipino champ switch games...

[@vaudou_]

@Dridokof i never said it's a 10-0 matchup but you have to agree that there are very few things dhalsim can do to stop yun from getting in and decimating him and they all amount to guesses if the yun is on point. it's gotta be 8-2.

[@itaku]

Not much other options, Dhalsim specializes in ranged combat while Ryu only has the haouken xD

[@willlaw5364]

I played a lot of street fighter almost 20 years ago and I used to give people headaches with my dhalsim game play!

[@hoagiesupreme]

Fantastic commentary...and Ive never said that before.

[@lgvx8000]

I love at 25:00 Seth Killian goes "That just looks dirty." lol i imagine there was a "smh" in there too lol hahaha

[@vaudou_]

@TonyMontanas ae ryu-dhalsim match hasn't changed much since super that's why i used them.

[@ShiftyMcSly]

Which question? "Not to bright are ya kiddo?" or "unless you are slow and need me to use smaller words. Do you?" They both seemed rhetorical but I answered the second one anyway. I'm not sure what you're accusing me of avoiding.

[@habitofsky]

Thank you for the upload!

[@NODcepter]

Rushdown characters vs Zoners always favor the rushdowns. It's like that in every fighting game

[@chikilan11]

he made fc looked like a chump by using yun outclassing him by every move

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Yeah, he can make comebacks after his opponents get offensive, which is exactly what he's trying to make them do when he throws fireballs. He doesn't do it because he thinks he can win just by throwing fireballs at his opponents, he does it in order to get screen control, so that his opponents do get defensive, and thus, allow him to do those incredible things.

[@ShiftyMcSly]

Oh no, I'm comprehending your comments, I was just hoping to read coherent arguments rather than coherent insults. That may have been a little optimistic.

[@ShiftyMcSly]

I'm glad you're here to explain that people who win at fighting games are actually bad at fighting games.

[@topbluffa1]

@Crocblocked where do you buy the tickets?

[@MrPavySRK]

This Stream was by far the best this year cause i got to see filipino champ get his shit pushed in.but what bothers me more is how is it that no one ever punches when he curses then out

[@normalguycap]

I said reasonably. And it's not just this match. He does it all the time in his others as well. He is good, he does make comebacks without them after he gets in their head and his opponent gets defensive, but yeah, you can call this spamming. He does it in like 3 sets of 2 or 3.

[@vaudou_]

@TonyMontanas it's more than manageable because ryu has the hadouken game and once ryu gets in he is clearly at an advantage. the vanilla ryu/sim matchup was 5/5 the only thing that changed is ryu got weaker. that's why it's in sim's favor in chocolate and now ae(strawberry?).

[@CYyIn-pm5yc]

Good fight daigo

[@adrockman2003]

is it seth Kilian voice or the iplaywinner guy ,so confused

[@bloodsoldierZ]

Dhalsim is for the patient players who can grind it out. He's one of the least rewarding characters to play with in and out of the game. So whenever I see a good Dhalsim player in the pool, I give my condolences.

[@attitude8x]

Ryu vs Sim = 20 minutes! Yun vs Sim = 6 minutes! whoa~!!!

[@Shinorai]

@webterrestrial Very true, havn't been able to really put my SSFIV Arcade Edition down after watching too many skilled street fighters play the game. Hope Daigo keeps it up, I still remember Daigo vs Justin (where he parrys all of chuns moves and KOs Chun, is that right?) Whoever that was, Lol, it made me an Honest SF 4 life!

[@vaudou_]

@Dridokof teleport on wakeup can easily be snuffed out by,you guessed it, ex. lunge punch which is completely SAFE on block. palm strike beats sniper clean. dive kick beats almost if not all of sim's pokes. shoulder rush easily punishes dhalsim fire balls into a 30-40% genei jin combo. yun was specifically designed to easily get around and punish zoners. yun has ALL the cards. if the players doesn't play them it's his own fault.

[@etherealwtf]

@hackstermatrix Yun has simply more options than Ryu. His dive kick makes it easier go further, so does the launch punch. The matchup is different.

[@1Diabolicalgenius]

These are great matches.

[@Shinorai]

DAIGO!! Watching Daigo play is my inspiration to play, not to be like him, but to be as good one day. (SF games kill my thumbs, anybody else having this problem?) Yes I'm nooby at SF XP

[@stolensentience]

So how’d it turn out?

[@87ad3]

11:58 Dies of a fist bump.. lol XD

[@jonoisgood]

is there some kind of consensus on that match up? 8-2? 9-1?

[@normalguycap]

Yes, I consider spamming as any repetition of a move in reasonably quick succession. Tactics/mind games or no.

[@AndyGamer]

09:06 WOOWWWW WHATAAA !! =@@

[@Revalstarcraft]

Yun is just Dhalsim's assasin, it's brutal to watch

[@Rakatanz]

@FlawlessMatador1 what did he said? please please please tell me !

[@tazer95]

Using Yun, I don't think, is a testament to Diago's skill. It's just a testament to how fucking overpowered Yun is.

[@1337Boredness]

she's in love with daigo's fast fingers

[@JustFrame21]

99% of his efforts are now focused on UMvC3. Also he's never liked the nerfs/changes to Sim after the early years of SF4.

[@FGCSimSim]

Dhalsim nerfes: Damage nerfes on 14 different moves, ranging from 5 points to 60 points. The super was nerfed with 50 points, the so called buffed MP was nerfed with 10 points, and his new "improved" ex flame is nerfed with 60 points.

[@halfw1ng]

@9:16 Chick in the background seems impressed. :D

[@lordofo11]

is this the reason why I never see Champ in Street fighter tourneys?

[@nivzb18]

Great matches!

[@Suntro]

Faceroll Dhalsim. Filipino Chump would play that.

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

Miyagi say "First match up like chess. Second match up: Connect FOUR."

[@tmaz85]

Notice that Daigo punished those teles almost every single time.

[@NewZen41]

@Blaze2588 Please explain; I only saw some of the nerfs, not all of them.

[@Cr1mSiR]

@topbluffa1 living up to your name with that statement.

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Yeah, because saying that I think one move is better than others automatically means that all I do is use that one move the entire game. Totally. Oh, and I didn't say the uppercut sucks, I said it wasn't one of his major strengths. It's perfectly good as an anti-air, or for getting a juggle into Ultra, but it's not good enough to be used as a major tool, like Ken's uppercut.

[@card969]

I don't care how much hate I get, Daigo is the king of spamming fireballs. Even playing this game online I never see people use as many fireballs as that guy. I just don't see how that can be called skill.

[@korean411]

@TheKOng2000 u know daigo swtiched to yun when ae came out right

[@kurosaki101000000000]

12:00 Amazing!

[@TheDimsh]

When he activates genei jin I could hear everyone shouting FREE! instead of HEY! ... lol :d

[@HadesHatredEdge]

He's not a noob but the CHAMP is just part of his handle.

[@vaudou_]

@UserX03 ryu has options against sim can't say that for sim against yun. 6-4 vs 8-2 is a huge difference and not even close to being the same.

[@hackstermatrix]

Daigo used his Ryu games to download filipino Champ's style (note how his predictions were better with Yun).

[@aznxknight]

it takes 20 minutes for chump to get a win but it takes 5 minutes for him to lose.

[@kurosaki101000000000]

Legendary match!

[@SolidMGSnake]

WHy didnt he use Yun against fchamp at evo2k14?

[@sabishiihito]

Pride? I dunno.

[@r011ing_thunder6]

Because in an interview daigo said he wanted to try out evil ryu for shits and giggles even though he was still perfecting combos from him and he didn't care that he lost so soon because he wanted to go home to play some GTAV

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

Daigo doesn't counter-pick.

[@stopler]

Yeah! right Daigo doesn't counter pick that's why he mostly used Guile when he's fighting with Fei Long user.

[@sunghyunku6013]

this was a great video

[@noddingoutinmd6066]

so if daigo is spamming fireballs then is champ spamming dhalsim's stretchy limbs?

[@vaudou_]

@Dridokof care to elaborate?

[@Nexttimeillwin]

He got bored of trying, so he picked a 8-2 match and laughed at how broken Yun was.

[@AaronCurryDish]

No... He's clearly talking about the famous Diego Umejaurez.
