The Real Story Behind Moment 37

[@KC-bg1th]

Some say that it's this exact fight that sparked Daigo and Wong to stop physically aging.

[@slagothor48]

Fucking lol

[@Clos93]

😂 for real... Dudes be in their 40's, but be looking like they still in their 20's.

[@otakuhunter4817]

iam 28 and i looked older than them smh

[@IsItModern]

This was terrible. There was zero facts or anything pertaining to the "real story" behind moment 37. They even show Raoh when talking about daigo. It's like someone had throwaway interview footage and made this garbage.

[@kenhoshizen6199]

IsItModern What did you expect from Kotaku?

[@thefloorhasgone]

i was hoping to hear the players talk about their playing styles and tell stories about different matches. this was interesting but a bit very general. ;)

[@clouds68dc]

A good chunk of footage from this video (including the part apparently showing Daigo getting angry) is not even Daigo-it’s another Chun player named Raoh, who Justin beat just before playing Daigo. For all the work put into making this, this is a pretty big error.

[@Wladislav]

+liquiduice Beat me to it. I agree, this definitely gives the viewer the wrong impression.

[@guering]

+liquiduice yes that got me confused.. if daigo wins (the japanese guy) why would he be mad?

[@MADPURO]

+liquiduice Hopefully it was an honest mistake..but sometimes, this is how people build the hype even more unfortunately. Making false claims and acting like they are able to get away with it because its barely noticeable and its better for marketing. I actually thought that was Diago leaving angry. For years people said that, that was diego all upset. Thanks for the clarification though. Again hopefully it was an honest mistake.

[@guesswho180]

We all know how Kotaku hates fighting games.

[@StephanieHua]

+liquiduice Yeah I was about to bring up @3:07 that was Raoh and NOT Daigo who got mad when Justin beat him. Definitely the wrong footage to use that could cause confusion to the viewers. But I believe Seth was saying that Daigo was "...getting mad..." because in the original footage, Seth said "... rare footage of Daigo actually angry..." so I think it stuck to Seth's head and made him think that Daigo was angry due to the cheap defensive Chun Li style... Personally, I don't think Daigo ever gets angry... hes a robot lol

[@Wladislav]

Overlaying that footage of Justin celebrating after beating another player (Raoh I think?) and that player shrugging him off on top of Seth talking about Daigo being angry kind of gives the wrong impression. Bit of a bummer.

[@daric_]

It was definitely confusing.

[@gelmir7322]

Daigo's last statement makes him looks like a very wise sage.

[@Rex-golf_player810]

I mean Daigo seems like a God talking about this (and playing it also)

[@stargxzers]

gelyn miranda what did he mean by that??

[@amandahunsberger632]

Chicago

[@mikejonesnoreally]

He is.

[@yerlee4]

sabas __? What many successful people go through.. seeking enlightenment and Nirvana after being on top which can lead to depression. Guys like the rock, Eminem, famous lead singers have depression because they're alone while on top

[@SkosiKuma]

Daigo was depressed because he was always winning.. he's basically one punch man haha

[@MrNothinguploaded]

watch fgctranslated on why he was depressed. this wasn't actually it.

[@fujineetomori]

@@MrNothinguploaded can you send the link if possible?

[@LiangHuBBB]

let's go Justin

[@Fediel]

ayy its you lol

[@unfazedo]

PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY PARRY!

[@xyanide1986]

5:20 that's some pretty interesting stuff

[@horroRomantic444]

Aren't you going to mention that the EVO tournament was held at Cal Poly Pomona before it moved to Las Vegas? This moment happened in the 2nd floor auditorium of the Bronco Student Union.

[@lovealwayssammydotcom]

I really liked seeing Moment 37 from this angle. My only complaint was that the video was short... I'd like to see more from them.

[@fmcdomer]

DUCKIN ESPN CLASSICS RIGHT HERE

[@1demcrispylinks880]

4:35 insert "You got the Touch" song right there

[@ThoseVideoGameMoments]

Nice video. Great insight into the minds of Daigo and Justin.

[@DreamWorldSyd]

0:50 you know you're a next level competitor when Vince Carter comes to watch.

[@desamster]

"Becoming successful should broaden your focus beyond your own success."

[@soulkens]

The real story behind moment 37 featuring Diago, Justin, and an unevenly trimmed mustache.

[@SHINBAXTER]

3:00 "RARE FOOTAGE OF 'A DAIGO IMPOSTOR' ACTUALLY ANGRY." =)

[@sidoog162]

they look so young !!

[@theoptimaltheory-optimizer8971]

I was 5 months old during Moments 37.

[@NegoClau]

And this is what made Street Fighter to come back to life from that limbo...

[@TheCouchPalsChannel]

Dang Kotaku, not using the right footage?

[@ta0paipai]

Ended just when it got really interesting.

[@mavonsan8244]

People can really make an anime about daigo Good backstory Good rivals The most intense fights ever in the world of fighting games Not to mention the loner kink daigo had before entering the world of fighting games

[@TheDiBoG]

Some wise words out of his mouth at the end.

[@declanetn2777]

3:00 that's not Daigo. That was a Chun Li player right there on the screen.

[@yokpok85]

0:25 , 3:02 and 3:44 - thats not Daigo. also both the characters are Chun li DISLIKE!!!!

[@RetroGamingWorld]

Mixed feelings understandable. Both great players for sure.

[@jdtoledo]

vinsanity at 0:50 half-man half-gaming spectator?

[@CeeWorld69]

Jd Toledo 😂😂😂😂

[@ameerulaffiq]

Justin looks like Jinbe from One Piece

[@stoked-6996]

I wonder if Daigo starts playing smash ultimate and finding out that his super is the one he pulled off back in evo.

[@ricardolimalopes2343]

At the beginning was not Diego. 0:22

[@DjClayface]

+Ricardo Lima Lopes LOL Diego, yeah if you pause at 0:22 you can see Daigo is sitting in the back, he's right next to Justin's face

[@ricardolimalopes2343]

+DjClayface Yes, true. "Diego" is one of the many Daigo's nicknames. Lmao. And sorry for the bad english, i am not american.

[@Davethawave1999]

+Ricardo Lima Lopes Ah yes, the famous Diego Umejuarez

[@fabiolean]

+Davethawave1999 Literally in tears over this one :D

[@smoothiegoddess7036]

Yeah it wasnt me!

[@dragon9ght]

wise words from umehara-san

[@monferaigne5061]

That player wasn't Daigo !! That rage player was RAOH and not daigo !!

[@SethOPM]

This video probably doesn't have a whole lot of honesty to it. Just promotion for the FGC/Evo.

[@adamnaz6731]

Diego Umejuarez vs Justin Juan is my favorite matchup

[@dudetheguyman]

Seth has a crooked mustache.

[@shin-oni4223]

It wasn't easy pulling that off, he had to practice that perry to pull it off

[@suppaman12]

At 3:10 that is not daigo...

[@SimilakChild]

His closing statements explains very well, and this is why Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia got the best martial artists in the world. I really wish SNK made a World Heroes 3 to replace Street Fighter.. that game had so much potential in the early 90's

[@thomasmcginnis7526]

Indonesia? What da duck... Nobody knows or cares about Indonesia. You must be Indonesian

[@Hallowed_Knight]

>Chun li powers up It's called a super Kotaku..

[@alpineodin]

Anyone got music sauce? or is it made by the video creator?

[@moragz97]

Can u get that song in the beginning of the video?

[@roccobot]

OK somebody tell me the title of the chiptune in the end

[@la_xto]

Daigo is such an anime sub Character

[@bokuwaVegetadesu]

Who WON that tournament??? Daigo or Justin. I'm really confused.

[@redcatofdeath]

Neither, Daigo won this match but then lost in the final.

[@allofthemusic]

What is the intro and outro song?!

[@maibhawj]

So who won the match between these two?

[@klumzyrice]

Daigo won the match. I believe it was the Loser Finals (for 3rd place) of that tournament and Daigo beat Justin to move onto the Grand Final.

[@sci24iori13]

legend never dies.😁

[@thirdocean3784]

so who won

[@elmagsanoc]

I didnt get it. Correct me If im wrong. Why daigo is the one who gets angry? He is the winner right?

[@blkwsor6277]

EL Magsanoc its a fake news. That want daigo.

[@nao_9373]

because that was Raoh who got upset on the video.

[@ArchP]

Rise of the FGC to the #1 of E-Sports

[@Dman40000]

Kotaku disrespecting the FGC with the shit video and misinformation, what a shocker.

[@lov.2.g]

You guys made a big error doing this video.... Fix it

Them words at the end of the video. I'd support Daigo if he weren't a shoto.

[@WH40KHero]

Daigo is TheLegend37

[@stokedgamer5063]

Fuck no you weren't about to win. The man speaks full Japanese, he was ready to end your career! 😂

[@19HajimeSaitou91]

Is Daigo trolling here? =))

[@pointlessfailure]

Too bad Daigo couldn't shoryuken Justin's waistline.

[@tachometer-flac]

I always mute it when the white guy talks. He never has anything nice to say.

[@lolmaorofl]

seth is an emotional lesbian

[@Cat_90S]

I want to dislike this shit because they got the story wrong, but since it is daigo Ill give you guys a pass

[@BORRRK]

Daigo's getting so old. ;_;

[@nelsona9381]

Daigo: Justin is FRee.. Justin: Your'e oLd.

[@s.p.vnationstation4160]

Bruh Justin was ken

[@TuLokotron2010]

[@augustuszogu8046]

[@smw1986]

[@19HajimeSaitou91]

Seth drugger?

[@aware24]

Hey look it’s Jackie Chan Sees another Asian guy Hey look it’s Jackie Chan

[@avalles3]

[@dead_again9839]

[@jrscarecrowX]

[@mugenman6732]

Justin just beat Daigo easily in Evo 2016. And even before that he beat Daigo again when SF5 first came out. lol

[@SwoleTony13]

Salty Daigo, best Daigo.
