Daigo’s ability to adapt over long sets is just insane

[@hockey1973]

I'm a Daigo fan just like anyone else but I gotta agree with the other posters who were annoyed at the commentary. Daigo lands a simple "2-in-1" style cancel and they are beside themselves with glee whereas P.R. Balrog lands an awesome 11 hit combo full of links, cancels and FADC extensions and they are too busy talking about the weather or some other thing to notice. I mean his combo at 9:00 was BEYOND awesome and they are like "let's keep talking about the raging demon attack Daigo did 15 seconds ago"

[@totallymageful]

+hockey1973 yeah there were multiple 1 frame links in that combo.

[@cymandeh]

truth

[@TheCldmstrsn]

Then people and you didnt watch the entire set. They talk about PR Balrog soo much! and how much they admire HIS Balrog.

[@stolensentience]

Um actually the commentators are biased toward pr rog but aight

[@AriesWarlock]

9:01 cool combo!

[@CollinBlake]

[11:49] "Look at PR Balrog's face: that's the face of the hunting animal"... "Meanwhile Daigo looking exactly as he would if he'd won that round" :D :D :D :D :D LOOOOL :D

[@ninjaninja9954]

Daigo interview: "i only practised against rose"

[@fabiolean]

Mike Ross cracking up at Daigo's cadence at 34:40 is hilarious

[@chanthien99]

OMG. Daigo!!!! Love you so much :)) Best SF player of all time!!!!

[@Relaxish]

not quite

[@TheCldmstrsn]

He is pretty up there. Who would you pick?

[@joeynoodles5973]

chanthien99 Daigo is one of thr best playerd across all installments of SF, and he was the best in SF4

[@TheCldmstrsn]

actually quite

[@thecorychristiansonproject3799]

He literally is the Guinness record holder for all Street Figther games. He is the winningest player of all time... so yes, quite!

[@Detroit-gx5nd]

Love how balrog tells an evil demon to give him all his money like evil ryu works at burger king or something

[@csynn]

get daigo drunk just before the interview so he can speak english

[@hbjetta]

Fuck… this was 9 years ago… I remember watching this on stream… God I feel old…

[@Crane043]

It''s so cool how you can really see the key moment where the player loses his chance to win. In 29:14, PR Balrog really could have committed and pushed Daigo a little further to the corner, but instead went for an easy tick throw option, but got complacent with the lead and MISSED the charge punch input. This allowed Daigo to regain the neutral, get the dive kick combo into the demon setup.

[@HumbleHurricane]

To this day, as I said years ago, I just don't understand why this backdash came instead of the jump back fierce into the win. Daigo is notorious for the fake hop kick into demon when he has full meter. I remember watching this with a group of friends and us yelling out the Demon is coming on wake up! PR Rog had this in the bag and controlled this set the majority of the way. Had the mental game on lock , but lost it in this critical moment. Three different occasions he should have won. As a tournament player and someone who performs in front of huge crowds myself, I understand the pressure every now and then, but damn this one was painful to watch for Rog. It is what it is though. Daigo and PR are both amazing and will both always be among my favorite SF players ever. Looking forward to seeing them both again.

[@fatJL2000]

19:48 -----BEAST MODE ACTIVATED!

[@spacefoodable]

Yes PR Balrog was quite impressive; but the guy with the more nerves did win in the end. That moment at 30:14 was absolutely critical in the match, that's where Daigo showed his nerves and did win. It was not a matter of techniques but of strength of mind.

[@Spawn223311]

These two are so fun to watch! The best balrog vs the best ryu

[@richard-jy4lr]

To answer to what they were saying at 18:18, players are ducking on reaction to rush punches because it's the best option overall. Upper and regular wiffs so they can punish, lower gets blocked and overhead is rarely used. Statistically, there's so much incentive to duck, but Eduardo can pick up on people using this tech and will then respond with using the overhead more. That's why there's a lot of more overheads used AND landed in the Balrog vs Snakeeyes match (I can't say about this one, haven't finished watching it). It's kinda cool that even with the regular rush punch can whiffing crouching opponents, in the highest level of play it can actually be an advantage.

[@JJames666male]

I don't know if anybody cares after 5 years or so, but during the final interview Daigo says he practiced the rose matchup a lot, but he knows Luffy has a tough schedule ahead of himself (issues while traveling caused him to get there a day later and had to play all his matches in one day) and hopes that Luffy can fight at full power regardless of this

[@HokKan]

What did he say about the pr Balrog match? The translation was so short even tho daigo said much more

Interesting thanks, do you speak Japanese fluently?

Balrog let his emotions get to him.

[@loco3514]

Alex Salinas always. That’s why he will never be great. Always the same story with this guy.

[@yyynbbggsage7398]

Funny part is he is so talented. 2nd at mvc3 first year. 2nd at sfxt with Ricki, 3rd at evo in 2012 for sf4. And 4th the year after that. Dude is the greatest runner up in fighting games. Extremely talented but chokes.

32:59 a full comeback after it was 6 ,2 for Barlog , Daigo reversed everything upside down !

[@Harvey_Mod]

6 - 3

[@5wisher5weet]

9:00 godlike

[@boltdm8238]

Balrog just gave the whole set when he rushed at 29:00. I mean, he could just capitalize on the lifelead but instead he started to ask for that demon.

[@abcdefghilihgfedcba]

Yeah, and that demon was telegraphed. No idea how Rog got hit by it. I even thought Daigo might reset his knockdown combo just to make it trickier and harder to predict the demon coming. But he didn’t even do that, just got it normally. If I was Rog I’d have just woke up with EX headbutt. He must’ve thought that Daigo would bait him and just block for some reason, that’s the only option a backdash would be better for over EX headbutt. Bad guess.

[@nafsiammara]

Rog fell apart after Daigo started coming back. He choked.

[@maikerodrigues1955]

Daigo was just like "Fuck you for eliminating me from the Capcom cup!"

[@professorhojo7205]

Long live the BEAST

[@dkillips]

pr rog needed better opponents for a longer period of time to do topenga. the fact he did as well as he did with the yomi level going on in japan compared to usa really stands a testament to his potential, even at that level.

[@gwvaio]

I renounce my christianity as I convert to the church of Daigo.

[@GriffithzDream]

Lol

[@TopTechTrendsX]

***** yes! I get to play him im heaven then!

This was a stamina game, daigo plays literally everyday all day. Balrog just zoned out of the game after half the set.

[@ruizhernandeztrustfi]

I agree, Unfortunately He crumbles under pressure. He's an amazing player but his nerves betrays him.

[@nafsiammara]

He's an emotional player, which is why I like to follow him, amazing highs when he has confidence, but he falls apart just as much.

[@nafsiammara]

He's got one more year left in him, don't give up on him yet!

[@fabiolean]

Jon Ford He put Daigo away at Capcom Cup, I wouldn't be so ready to predict his retirement quite yet. Anyone can be clutch at this level of play.

[@Lpedraja2002]

Boabdil Perez He took a shit ton of risks at Capcom Cup because it was a short set, Daigo always shines at long sets. PR Rog used to be way more patient and strategic and that got him to topple Tokido back when his Akuma was God. His style has changed to an aggressive type brawler but that also let him beat Infiltration basically when he was dominating every tournament in existence.

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

Daigo "tier-hugger" Umehara

HomestarRunner20X6 Daigo cant be a tier hugger when daigo is the one dictating the tier list he played RYU vanilla instant top tier , use YUN instant top tier , use evil ryu TOP TIER if daigo say deejay and dan is top tier then they are top tier you muricans will just have to follow it

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

MrFoxtrotpro LOL! Daigo dictates the tier list! LOL!!! And I'm not American, idiot.

[@Un1234l]

MrFoxtrotpro smh it's not Daigo who dictates the tier list. If so, then Ryu would've been considered top tier for a long time. It's Sako who dictates the tier list. Picks up Cammy, shows 10 Sako combos and IA Cannon Strike. Picks up Ibuki, shows 500 Sako combos. Picks up Satsui Ryu, shows 5 Sako combos. Picks up Elena, shows 3 Sako combos.
