USFIV: Kazunoko vs MCZ | Daigo Umehara - Capcom Cup 2015 Grand Finals - CPT 2015

[@sfturbo]

when kaz does wake up up kicks, it's scrubby tactics. when daigo does wake up srk, it's great read and mind game. that's the internet for you...

[@lYakuzal]

Lol seriously. People need to realize that both Daigo and Kazunoko throw DPs at the most unexpected moments and have strategic uses for them. Scrubby or not, that's just how the game is.

[@Hope092]

Right so true you see how even the announcers would say "what a read when daigo would land them but not when kaz would.

[@scotthall7307]

+Crave Freedom Daigo doesn't feel Yun is even top 10, you gonna argue with him?

[@redvenomweb]

+sfturbo Seriously. Daigo has random DP literally named after him. Live by the sword...

[@r011ing_thunder6]

No lol, that is NOT the internet. That is the commentators. I bet if someone interviewed Daigo he'd just say "I just felt like it" or some shit tbh. 💀

[@LuisOliva95]

I wanted Daigo to be the champion, but holy sheit that Jun is too sick, great work kazunoko...

[@Treday]

Luis Oliva you telling me

[@assassin4864]

We are two, I also wanted Daigo to win this championship but it is true, Kazunoko was too good but also a little bit lucky sometimes...

[@deadlock107]

This was an awesome tournament, so many sick matches. Congratz to Kazunoko, absolutely deserved it!

[@tkpc621]

Daigo rushed straight to the bathroom after his match.

[@DatShadyGuy]

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Daigo get hit this hard in a Grand Final.

[@CezarBianu]

+m335 Daigo plays high level since 1998 so you do the math ;)

[@CezarBianu]

+DatShadyGuy Yeah, well said. Kazunoko has a Daigo cure up his sleeve :))

[@azuresaiyan9005]

+DatShadyGuy 25th anniversary was much worse.

[@scotthall7307]

+Crave Freedom Yo Kazunoko just defeated Daigo 7-0(7-1 on technicality) in Topanga this is Daigo king of the long set we're talking about so it home turf for him. People looking down on Kazunoko are in reality insulting Daigo as they both have high levels of respect for one another knowing full well not to underestimate the other. In closing if you don't think Kazunoko won because hes insanely skilled and was playing like a monster that day you're wrong.

[@99superjesus]

+Scott Hall Yeah Kazunoko has Daigos number but Daigo still won Topanga, still king of long sets

[@gardamyu]

801Strider: "First Kazunoko, then bodies everywhere" WHERE THE BODIES AT?

[@sintonado]

This was a pretty good grand finals. And great run from Daigo making all the way to the grand finals.

[@RiceEater483]

The moment of this match. In the final round after Daigo lands that jump back combo in the corner, if he had went for the bait instead of pressuring Kazunoko the next combo would have lead to stun and then the follow up would leave Yun with somewhere around 10-15% health left. But once again Kazunoko makes the right read and his wake up upkicks connected and the rest is history. Big props to Kaz but man I wish Daigo could have at least reset it.

[@Hope092]

He used yun as well in AE

[@NicholasB303]

***** I dont know what the hell he was thinking with that focus attack... That was when I knew he was throwing it

[@blahblahgdp]

from these comments I thought daigo got 3-0, but it was 3-2

[@kietey14]

He got 3-0 and sent to losers by Kazunoko earlier in the tournament. They said it at the beginning.

"Check check check." - Mike Ross, 2015

[@skullgirlsfanboy5991]

Honestly, a very symbolic, yet disappointing final game for usf4 competitively... I don't mean that like "daigo shudda wunn! :v" it's just that the set was so one-sided that even if google didn't spoil the game on me getting here, I still would've known Kazunoko would win. I suppose this match, rather than being a clash of titans to end it all, more so shows the power of a true World Warrior at its peak. That being said, I think this is not the match we wanted, but rather the match the game, and Kazunoko, deserved.

[@sirrparker47]

Snake Eyes and Keomi had the best fight. Tense as hell

[@mdz_jimmy]

+Skullgirlsfanboy how was the set one-sided when it came down to last game last round?? Kazunoko blew everyone up in this tournament, that's true. I think when you wrote your comment you had this and probably the winners side match between kazunoko vs daigo in mind. This match can go either way and it came down to the wire but kazunokos reads were on point.

[@t4d0W]

+Crave Freedom You forget that if you don't space well with Yun, its blow up city. Thats why scrubs whine about Scrubby XBL Yuns while the real good Yun player took advantage of his demons packing home early and having a slug fest with a glass cannon expert.

[@mks6508]

how was it one sided when it was literally down to the final round? if daigo won that last round then it would have been a bracket reset.

[@beastmode8895]

He took the match but Daigo is the greatest Street Fighter player of ALL TIME.

"He is not gonna get 13-0ed" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@Tesomanjarvi]

Kazunoko

[@Simpanzee69]

I really don't like Kazunoko, but I have to hand it to him he was really consistant. The thing that bothers me most about him is how much he up kicks and actually lands it, you would think that both Daigo and Xian would have seen them coming.

[@elvistwatty]

You're mad that a player lands moves?

[@Simpanzee69]

elvistwatty If you bothered to read my whole comment and not just the part you wanted to read you would see what I was really saying. Its more like I'm irritated that you could see it coming from a mile away and these guys are smarter/better than that and shouldn't be eating those things left and right.

[@XeroReborn]

+Nick Rowland This is the reason Kazunoko upkicks so often. When you are in a tournament for the absolute best player in the world, what are you expecting from the opponent? Pro level combos, pro level options, pro level mind games. kazunoko knows this. Scrubby upkicks are the last thing the best players expect from the other best players. So what does he do? Scrubby Up-kicks. So why does it keep working? because now that the opponent saw hin do stupid up kicks, they're looking for it. kazunoko, again, knows this and counter acts it. Every move has a time and place. Kazunoko is just not afraid to look "nooby" when he's mentally beyond even the Psychic Daigo Umehara. It's not luck that Kazunoko lands so many. Daigo isnt bad for getting hit by them. Kazunoko simply is in Daigo's head, and Kazunoko's constant switch between pro plays and newbie plays make it hard for Daigo to be in Kazunoko's head.

[@Simpanzee69]

XeroReborn Its not like I said Kazumnoko sucks because I don't believe that. I just said I don't particuarly enjoy watching smart players doing or getting hit by something so stupid is all. The biggest reason they shouldn't be getting hit is that this is not something new, Kazunoko does this in literally all of his matches and I just don't get why something so obvious works so much.

[@XeroReborn]

+Nick Rowland It works because its not obvious. Kazunoko sometimes does crazy stuff, other times does really tame stuff, the crazy stuff is a lot more flashy so you notice it more, but seriously, you cant win CapCup with an "obvious" tactic. i bet $100 dollars if Kazunoko played intermediate level players that expected upkick reversals, he would never do it. It's a tactic that only works this well at top level play because his mix up game is so strong. And if you dont enjoy him thats fine! But dont downplay his strategies to being "obvious"

[@scotthall7307]

Hahah Daigo bounced on the announcer left em standin' there lookin' stupid, the beast gets the last laugh!

[@serenerhapsody]

BIG congratulations to Kazunoko!

[@cuddlequeen3225]

That is the most awkward awards ceremony. Where you goin’ Daigo.

[@lordzhuge]

The Yun Kazunoko demon looked unstoppable, I'm glad Daigo got 2 games from him though

[@Siscon92]

Of course Evil Ryu and Yun in Grand Finals. At least no Elena mirror though

[@cuddlequeen3225]

[@ericdraven9269]

Looks like this capcom cup will be last for SF4. Im glad to see Daigo in grand final, but Kazunoko playing perfect. Want to see Daigo in SF5! Congratz Kazunoko and thx Daigo for fighting!

[@jordandere349]

With that conclusion I guess we can all move on and look forward to new players and experiences within the realm of SFV. #BringBackTheMikaButtSlap

[@BluisRaw02]

Kage reveal got me to watch this.

[@Kishimyu]

I think Daigo was messing around a bit during the final rounds. Not saying Kazunoko didn't deserve his win, nor that he isn't a beast himself. It's just that Daigo tends to do some trolly shit even in serious situations eg. full focus*

[@Hope092]

daigo messing around? no if you see the first time they played in winners you'll know why daigo was trying something crazy kaz just forces that out of players.

[@rafaelvieira2447]

Daigo loose to his mistakes and got punished to the second place... =)

He did in their first meeting. Yun shoulder gets past free.

[@fightingforce8498]

Up kicks all day. At least he put up a fight this time.

[@thisistherun4015]

[@universe7vsuniverse6dragon87]

If only Daigo had swept the leg 😭

[@bobbyraines8975]

You just can't "train" kazunoko. Even if he gets punished for the dp he still goes for it. High level players calculate the risk and then decide on the best option. Kazunoko defeats his enemy by constantly using upkicks to disuade them from pressuring him on wake-up out of fear he might just fucking do it. The meta-game is VERY strong there. I hate it as much as everybody else. And for a meticulous player like Daigo it really hurts his game.

[@maxpheby7287]

801 strider had one job (abel is the counter pick to yun) and that was to beat Kazunoko so we could have a good tourney. But no he couldnt do it even the commentators said when he lost that it would have big repercussions for the rest of the bracket.O well at least the beast was second.Edit Wanted to say that kazunoko is a top player but some of yuns set ups are broken.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

+Max Pheby Huge repercussions.Kazunoko would have played Luffy to then play Momochi in top 32 and likely have lost to him. Momochi would have had a solid chance to get to top 8 if he played the people Luffy had to play like Mago and Infiltration, people he normally beats. I don't know how 801strider would have done in winners because he seemed incredibly confident leading into the tournament, but I doubt he'd have beaten the guys at top 8 who were all for the most part playing on fire.

[@r.n.e.6902]

All Daigo Had To Do Was Crouch Fierce...

[@blackhairedgoon8218]

Marcelle lol and look at it now

[@veganwaffle]

At the end of the day, the character specialist won.

[@Ryan.A.]

Imagine he switched to Ryu to fight against his inner demon (Yun form AE 2012) to make a sick comeback and win. Would have been epic, this conclusion was a little underwhelming for the end of SF4.

[@Reeepaaa]

they play ryu's theme when daigo is rewarded. but guile's and chun li's for kazunoko hahahahahaha i love daigo but they kinda robbed him of his ceremony.

[@LoftyXsWaGX34]

I don't feel like kaz played special at all. Just shows u the strength of neutral jump divekick. Daigo tried to jump jab him but that won't dissuade him. Momochi hits him with jump roundhouse consistently against that and we see how successful he is against kaz

[@t4d0W]

+LoftyXsWaGX34 you still gotta space it right. If you space wrong you don't get your pressure and Yun easily eats damage like a lil baby. And Momo and Bonchan have been stronger players against Kaz. Kaz just matches up well against Daigo constantly.

[@LoftyXsWaGX34]

bennymountain1 definitely not lol. I just feel his play was anti climatic and not a good send off for street fighter. not the Kaz i was expecting but he won so

yeah you just had to win enough majors to get enough points to get in or a premier event, and then win this entire thing against the best players in the world. GL you are probably better off staying at the job then trying to beat kazunoko or a daigo. You cant play better then them so it comes down to out guessing them, and playing perfect of course yourself. Your first step is getting to 4000+ PP and beating top amateur players consistently. Let me know when you can do that first. LOL
