The Legendary Xrd Set...Ogawa Vs. Daigo!?

[@ashjudd]

Daigo won Evo twice in GGXX. His Sol was so sick

[@thesaltmerchant4564]

He is such a protagonist

[@TerraAduroTV]

"chill bro I just won Evo!" - Ogawa "fuck your Evo" - Daisol Umebadguy

[@krasmazov009]

I never thought of that but that's absolutely true. GG players have zero chill. Milia players out here doing all their bullshit against 10 years old who like anime.

[@superfarful]

That was a big pop off for the god of this game vs someone whos been playing for a month. Shows how godlike Daigo is

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

He felt the pressure!

[@crazymumbo]

Reminds me of Leffen VS GO1.

[@triger1]

This video is clickbait, Daigo was playing Guilty Gear on a high level since 2003 so he pretty much knows all the fundamentals and moves of the franchise.

[@Te_LaSoul]

Daigo is a 2 time Guilty Gear Evo champ, ppl forget, lol.

[@sheercold26]

Think about how awful it would be for ogawa if he lost to someone who only played for a month... Of COURSE he had to pop off. Losing would have crushed him

[@Shadoweons]

You probably already know but he was also a guilty gear player. He used to be one of the best Sols in XX/AC days. There's even a huge GG meme dedicated to a commentator commenting on one of his matches.

I mean. He was also a guilty gear player too lmao

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Those old matches where he was playing Sol were pretty crazy. Heard he got bopped in it though and stopped playing, and after that Kaqn video it makes sense. Still, he would have been amazing at this game if he actually practiced.

[@AkazukinChaCha]

can we at least ACKNOWLEDGE Daigo won Evo in GG TWICE? People acting like he came into this with no knowledge of the game, he def always has been good at it, just never focused on it.

I think everyone knows he played before.

I thought the name Ogawa sounded familiar... he was part of the infamous set from EVO where Washige stood up early, the "what are you standing up for" moment.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Yup, but even before that he was a legend in the GG scene.

[@sirAvdul]

Ohh so that was this Ogawa? lol I watch some meme video about it but didin't know that he's such a legendary GG player.

Oh yeaaaah, the classic. Should have played the gif in the video.

[@yano4473]

Man I wish daigo would step out of his comfort zone a bit. His fighting game prowess will always be something to behold. Gotta pay the bills tho

[@sirAvdul]

2 years later reply. I'm also hoping for Daigo to compete on more fighting games, he used to compete on multiple game during his early days, GG, Darkstalker, SF, also MVC. He's a very exciting player to watch even when he doesn't win. But it looks like nowadays Daigo is not the type that could focus on more than one game at a time. He haven't even try the SF6 Beta yet because he said he had SFL to focus on while you see nearly everyone that compete in SFL has tried SF6 Beta except him.

[@bon.9296]

He will never play another game again. He goes into capcom because he's always been a capcom player first and foremost, and because its a full time job. Newer players dont realize how many players have ditched their main games to grind sf full time.

[@viewtifuljoe99]

I wonder if Ogawa was provokingis Daigo like that because he felt like Daigo had an actual chance and wanted to throw him off his game. Or maybe something Daigo did pissed him off. Either way, all I know is my eyes turned into saucers when I saw the taunt. This is genuinely the first time I've seen a Japanese player taunt someone

He did play GG in the past! there are plenty of sets of XX and he had participated in EVO brackets of that time and pretty much was the one who developed dustlooping with Sol! The XRD set was pretty impressive! How his muscle memory kicked up and 1 month preparation is enough to match up to Ogawa
