This is why Daigo is the best. It isn't just because of his reign during Vanilla and Super, his 3rd strike Chun Parry with Ken, or even how he can stand up to the other strongest players in the world. Those are certainly indicators, but what makes Daigo monstrously good is his ability to BOUNCE BACK WITHOUT FAIL and defeat his opponent mercilessly. Latif and Poongko crushed him in 2011. Infiltration got the better of him on multiple occasions in 2012. Despite this, Daigo has proven himself in long sets and has shown that hardwork, dedication, and an absolutely FEARLESS mindset can crave the path to victory. Daigo Umehara, the Beast, everyone. That's who he is.
i find that another thing that sets him apart is that he plays a very crisp ryu. He throws fireballs that nobody else can through. He also uses tatsu a lot more than others for mobility and crossups. His defense is amazing as well, and he never misses a dp-fadc-ultra. I could pick this guy out of 100 ryus
royfancoolguy If I want to I am gonna reply to a comment that is 1 million years old as well and you can't stop me. I am just that cool and don't be jealous now just because you can't do the same. Also it doesn't matter how old the comments are but the fact that everything I ever say is always true and awesome just like me.
royfancoolguy You laugh but I am right in everything I ever say and you know it haha. But you are a cool guy I like you. I just hope you are not gay like most of the SF players haha.
EVO is considered a high standard because it's played once a year, attracts a lot of players from different locations, and has become kind of a hype machine over the time. Having said that, a first to 10 set is more accurate at determining which player is better against another specific player. They have time to practice and plan just for each other and the longer set rules out fluke wins or losses. I do recognize though that people have different definitions of what being the "best" means.
Daigo is like some master swordman , No fancy move but effective and doesnt show too much expression, stay cool but still sharp. He always learn from his mistake. If he born in Sekigahara era, he is Mushashi Miyamoto
After you watch into couple games.. You can see infiltration was confused and starting to back away in defense mode which you never seen him do against daigo prior to this match.
Daigo not throwing fireball at the distance where infil can focus.. He also not gettin deep dp but instead early dp so he can ultra. I think that's some of the major changes.
Zhi's historical and current events quips are godlike. Most people don't catch them but I love it. He can sneakingly cross the line because most fgc are idiots. Haha.
I was dying at "...And you know they separate the trash here: Gods & Frauds, Plastics and Aluminum..." Oh, and the Mighty No. 9 and water cooling newegg reference.
Note that you can hear the Japanese commentator in the background so much more hype than Zhi and Mike Ross right now. Especially during the last round of the last game.
All those people dissing Daigo since evo2011, what you say now? C.Mk,ex fireball, stops Infilterations focus attacks and also walk throw. Today I witness DAIGO turn super saiyan. One of the best matches I've ever seen. This is not the same DAIGO as before!!! Now a very aggressive overpowering play style!
Man, Infiltration started to have execution errors in match 6. Daigo clearly got in his head causing his nerves to show, similar to how Daigo showed nerves and starting missing things in their past matches.
Absolutely true, but after seeing him play at this level against Infiltration who he lost to and destroying the champion himself, Xian, I can't help but think it would have been awesome to see Daigo play like this at EVO.
Daigo was ( is ? ) such a genius. I wish he had the hunger from years ago. Now he's just not there. Doesn't deliver anymore. Hopefully he'll get to this level someday.
Lol at Zhi's jokes. I love these analogies he makes in the match. They're so creative lol And Daigo still got it! I knew he was better than Infiltration but both are spectacular to watch. Amazing matches.
daigo is playing much smarter this time... he's using his super bar for ex every now then which is good to give his opponent a bit of delay to avoid those mash ups or further mix ups...
Sad part is reading through the comments I need smell hypocrisy on many of the post. "He's Back!" When did Daigo ever leave? So now he's playing real and wasn't before? Daigo has always been playing his hardest and wanting to win. Infiltration has had his number since Evo2k12, however this 1st to 10 was Super Convincing for the Beast. Unlike most, I'm happy to see Daigo winning here ONLY because it'll make the Infiltration vs Daigo in the future that much more interesting.
"Oh no Infiltration thinks his bottle of water is a phone. He is calling Laugh to ask him for help but he is not picking up." LOL Zhi always has the best commentary. :)
i would say long sets such as a first to ten mean way more than a first to three in a tourney even if its evo. So many things have to go right/ get a little luck to win a tourney. first 2 10 is all about 1v1 player vs player the ability to read ur opponent and know characters really shines
You completely fail to see the point then. Prior to Evo2k12, they were playing Vanilla AE, not the current AE:2012. Infiltration is Not the same player he was prior to AE:2012. Your notions on Akuma are true, however they don't negate Ryu's better ground game which was exploited her flawlessly by Daigo. If you can control the ground w/ Ryu it makes it incredibly difficult for Akuma to start a hard KD or mixup.
Infiltation: Hello? Is this bottle? Bottle: Yes, this is bottle. How may I help you? Infiltation: Can you help me cool down? Bottle: Yes, but not much.
There will always be down time and there will always be someone who will made a break thru. There isn't a true god in the fighting community. Just support whoever you like. No one is forcing u their opinion to change your sf4 idol....
Infiltration won almost everything he entered. I'm not sure why you keep falling back to character choice when Daigo himself put Ryu on the same level as Aukma here is his quote "Best characters: Ryu, Akuma, and Cammy Twins are mid-tier. Fei Long is high-tier. Seth and Sagat are high-tier but have bad match-ups. Characters other than Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Gouken, Rose, Gen, Dan, T. Hawk, Deejay, Guy, Hakan, Oni, and Evil Ryu have potential to be high-tier."
And in the last decade Daigo has achieved more than Xian and Infiltration combined. Also I don't see Xian and Infiltration with 5 consecutive Evo top 8 appearances in SF4.
It also seems like Infiltration isn't suited to endurance gaming. Going by his body language, he seemed to be losing focus after the 5th or 6th rounds. I know Daigo's endurance is quite high since hes done many FT10s.
nope, im talking about the FT50 daigo and sako.Final score Daigo Umehara (Ryu) 50 - 27 Sako (Ibuki) i dont know if theres footage of it tho.Lol di you know Daigo wanted a FT50 with Infiltration? Mad Catz said they didnt had enought time do it.
I wonder if Zhi sits in a hotel room with a notepad and brainstorms everything he could say the next day. Too many drinks that night. Everything Zhi wrote down he thought was awesome.
Are you going to upload the other matches as well, ckeanlol? I would love to seem them. Glad to see Daigo still training hard and doing his best. Bringing Infiltration down a bit is perfect to keep everything competitive, nobody wants to see 1 player dominate everyone else.
Infiltration hasn't won "everything" but he was the most dominant AE:2012 player from Evo 2k12 going into Evo 2k13. The guy won the majority of tournaments he entered during that time frame, that much is real. I've been Saying This Forever and leave it to the scrubs to deny it & not understand it. Ryu can Fight Evenly with Akuma because he has a Better Ground Game, Daigo demonstrated this.

Zhi's commentary is on point. May be the best for SF4 commentary I've heard.
One of the funniest commentators.

Love Daigo for always bringing the heat, even for exhibition matches!
After you watch into couple games.. You can see infiltration was confused and starting to back away in defense mode which you never seen him do against daigo prior to this match.
"my goodness, it went straight to voice mail." LOOOOOOL
Daigo not throwing fireball at the distance where infil can focus.. He also not gettin deep dp but instead early dp so he can ultra. I think that's some of the major changes.

Ya Zhi is the best. Always a joy to hear him. His commentary at SEAM 2015 is one of my favorites.
😎👍🏻
Infiltration: after Evo, I don't think your a "beast" any longer
Daigo: Lol Bitch please
Still can’t get over this video. Daigo totally best Infiltrations ass lmao
I was dying at "...And you know they separate the trash here: Gods & Frauds, Plastics and Aluminum..." Oh, and the Mighty No. 9 and water cooling newegg reference.
Thanks for the video, ckeanlol. I was looking around to see this great match-up everywhere!
Daigo you will always be my hero
Came here for the fight, stayed for the abortion jokes.
Diago: "Infiltration definitely knows what he's doing... but I do too"
OMG Daigo is playing flawlessly. Guess he showed Infiltrationn the true meaning of PAIN!
Daigo should be the 5th mystery character in Ultra SSF4.
He has earned his spot as the true 'world warrior'.
At this point, he IS street fighter!
The reason people are saying (or joking) about akuma being a weak character is the fact that daigo himself said so in a stream a week or two ago
Note that you can hear the Japanese commentator in the background so much more hype than Zhi and Mike Ross right now. Especially during the last round of the last game.
"The Power to Keep Winning"
Now this is the American FGC commentary that i love. Sadly this had to be done in Japan in order for it to be acceptable. Good shit Zhi

Very good sportmanship by both of them. No wonder why they are pros.
unleashing that crowndfunding... how does he even come up with that shit😂😂😂😂
I wish I could have much fun as they do when playing SSF4!
Daigo is like batman, he can beat anybody in the world as long as he has time to prepare for them.
Best alt custom for Ryu. Daigo has good taste.
Yep. Daigo says it before matches sometimes, according to the Daigo manga.
He finally did it! THE BEAST IS BACK!
Daigo takes it down with solid fundamentals. Not much flashy play here, just sick footsies, solid defense, and a hell of a lot of matchup knowledge.

Daigo was ( is ? ) such a genius. I wish he had the hunger from years ago. Now he's just not there. Doesn't deliver anymore. Hopefully he'll get to this level someday.
There's nothing to be delivered in SF5...
SFV isn’t about skill anymore
Zhi also mentions "yellow hawk down" meaning black hawk down, but yellow since Infiltration is asian, and you know how they call asians yellow
10:30 is seriously awesome
ZHI - "he thinks his volvic is actually a phone..." Ross - "it went straight to voicemail" lmao
If Daigo played Kasparov in chess right now, he'd win in 5 moves.
LOL! "Yellowhawk down!"
Lol at Zhi's jokes. I love these analogies he makes in the match. They're so creative lol
And Daigo still got it! I knew he was better than Infiltration but both are spectacular to watch. Amazing matches.
daigo is playing much smarter this time... he's using his super bar for ex every now then which is good to give his opponent a bit of delay to avoid those mash ups or further mix ups...

Tournaments are where you measure results. No one cares in a sports match if you win an exhibition but lose in the playoffs, Same here.

The thing about long sets is the fatigue that comes along with it.

Infiltration made Daigo go back to the drawing board. Now Daigo sending him back to it.
Thanks for the upload bro!
I don't know why people keep on saying infiltration wasn't the same before ae2012... He placed 3rd at evo 2010......
Zhi with all the punch lines makes this hella funny to watch
Zhi, Daigo is not Jaeger. He's freaking Levi!
Infiltration won almost everything he entered. I'm not sure why you keep falling back to character choice when Daigo himself put Ryu on the same level as Aukma here is his quote
