Tokido really had this match but made a fatal mistake that cost him and never really recovered. I think if he had beat Daigo he would have beat Filipino Champ in the Grand Finals as Tokido's Akuma has much less trouble with Dhalsim compared to Daigo's Ryu, which seems to be a kryptonite for him. The turtle style has always been the only thing that can really throw Daigo off his game.
@Catalinutz212 Your saying that when you input an ex shoryuken it does the teleport instead? 3x punch? Type A & Type B cannot perfom Ex Shoryuken with Akuma via back buttons on a control pad because it's Light & Medium punch together.
Lets say daigo here and Tokido walks a lott left right, launcing SRK = >V>, punch right...but since they keep moving, the first > falls off, so they need only to do V> , punch.. and since they use jabs and other randoms, it makes it more comfortable to activate there specials. If you watch good grab players using zangief, hakan, Thawk..etc etc. you can see, they use normals like CRAZYYY !!! jab jab, waking >> left, right
stop complaining about the commentators. Its really hard to commentate a match while maintaining the hype of the match. I guess those who are complaining didnt have the chance to get to EVO. Because if they are, they would probably understand why is their reaction like that. :)
There can be different reason. Well in Ryu's case or better said, shoto characters. They use a fireball, and at the moment that the fireball will hit the oppenent, the shoto player thinks, it will hit and fire another one. But since it will give chip damage to your opponent, the opponent decides to jump and the fireball does not hit, so what happens, a normal move come out, cuz there can be only 1 fireball of yourself in the match. It's also a techniqeu to kinda irritate your opponents.
@AgrivatedKillah It's a scrub tactic mostly used by online players when they are losing. 99% of the time, they're just blocked and punished heavily. Tokido's wake up ultra was a guess, in the sense that with Akuma if they stick out a limb on your wake up, Demon catches them for free. He did just do wake up ultra because he was losing. Aka they don't work and are very desperate.
@Macdaddy487 oh so that's why...I don't have time to play street fighter 4 now that I'm in college so I just watch a lot of tourneys online...thanks for pointing that out to me...
@SeventhSun Well, Akuma has more of a reason to wake up Ultra because of the invincablity he gets on the start up of WotRD. Most of the time if a character without a Ultra like that shouldn't wake up and Ultra, it's just too random.
But why daigo use the SPS a lot is, one of the reasons also can be is, it breaks the focus, cuz its a 2 hit move, plus its a HARD move, MORE DAMAGE, PLUS its SAFE !! wich makes it more attractive to use !!! But the main reason why good players use all kinds of buttons is, is they can use there specials more easily and when you keep moving, you get more ''warm'' in the game. its a good technique
@wwedeadman85 When you catch one of the best in the world with one though, that's amazing. Also it wasn't random, he saw the overhead coming. Go back to watching DSP videos.
@CouchPotatato I'm sorry in GF Daigo Vs. Filipino champ he says Daigo does aerial heavy into uppercut... even though it was aerial medium -.-.. sorry he doesn't say anything good.
@AlexLong1000 Ya, I don't get that either :/ Yipes is pretty good and the guys from NCR9 (MvC3) were good. James is kinda... eh. Gootecks if pretty good, too :p
Grab players dont press left, right , down when they walk left right or duck. There technique when they walk left duck is to make a half circle everytime they do it, they do it like crazy fasttt, so when they close to you, they can perfrom a grab really easily, cuz if they just stand still, they need to make the whole circle, wich cost more time and the risk is, they will jump. if they keep moving, they can perform it more easily and faster cuz they allready ''using'' there specials for like 50%
But using normals like walking left, right, wich you can see a lotttt by pro players, also good players online, > jab, L.K, H,P etc etc...is also a way to use your anti air much easier. Cuz lets say you stand still and do nothing, you need to press all buttons over and you need to get, lets say ''used'' to the move, but when you keep moving and press normals, you are like lets say ''half of your way'' to launch that move = you can use your specials faster !
To be honest Daigo should have lost this match. Tokido made a rather stupid mistake that cost him the match point and allowed Daigo to get back in to the game.
omg the commentators are just terrible...yelling for nothin. look at 7:28 daigo just does a crouch Medium kick and the guy is like " OOOOH SHIT OMG" -_____-'
Man sf4 was so hype back in these days. I mean I'm sure it still is but time never lets me be able to watch these tournies & livestreams anymore:(
It hurts coming back with the same sentiment and seeing your comment is 5 years old...
i love watching these 2 play. art in motion
one of the best matches in sf4 series ever imo was watching this live on stream so hype

Incredible match. This is how a Ryu/Akuma fight is supposed to look.
@Catalinutz212 Your saying that when you input an ex shoryuken it does the teleport instead? 3x punch?

6:50 Daigo Laughing, he laughs
-_- *Daigo is not amused*
Damn this match was intense. Last time I've seen something like this was at EVO. Akuma player vs. Akuma player. :D
@Loyalsol I agree. He might have been a bit too excited for his own good. QUESTION: Is Daigo losing it, was it the competition getting better?
Lets say daigo here and Tokido walks a lott left right, launcing SRK = >V>, punch right...but since they keep moving, the first > falls off, so they need only to do V> , punch.. and since they use jabs and other randoms, it makes it more comfortable to activate there specials. If you watch good grab players using zangief, hakan, Thawk..etc etc. you can see, they use normals like CRAZYYY !!! jab jab, waking >> left, right
Tokido's nerves got the best of him. Extremely unfortunate.
that fireball war was intense, i feel like tokido should be daigo's arch nemesis instead of philipino champ

@Turtlehoop Ah..I see.
I'll only use wake up ultras if its down to the wire and I believe the chip damage will get them.
@Macdaddy487 oh so that's why...I don't have time to play street fighter 4 now that I'm in college so I just watch a lot of tourneys online...thanks for pointing that out to me...
6:39 monsterous punish from the beast
@DoctahDizzle if you were a Gouki player, you'd know that the tatsumaki->sweep doesnt work against ryu
@6:36, best part of this match :D
"Wakeup ultra? This is loser's finals?" i lol'ed
Great match
@dearlyblvd1 Hopefully the term"Monkeys" that you used isnt pointed at a specific race.Not trying to be hostile.Just asking.
@SeventhSun Well, Akuma has more of a reason to wake up Ultra because of the invincablity he gets on the start up of WotRD. Most of the time if a character without a Ultra like that shouldn't wake up and Ultra, it's just too random.
So weird that they did best out of 3 in top 8 back then
@skalawatz I like chen and ultradavid as a team, skisonic's enthusiasm makes me laugh tho
The Daigo vs Valle match was more hype...
But why daigo use the SPS a lot is, one of the reasons also can be is, it breaks the focus, cuz its a 2 hit move, plus its a HARD move, MORE DAMAGE, PLUS its SAFE !! wich makes it more attractive to use !!!

sorry he doesn't say anything good.
the end of all these matches are hilarious. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
@AlexLong1000 Ya, I don't get that either :/ Yipes is pretty good and the guys from NCR9 (MvC3) were good. James is kinda... eh. Gootecks if pretty good, too :p

@DoctahDizzle the sweep misses ryu (its character specific)
I got a quick question, why do people shun wake up ultras?
daigo is a real descendant of the samurais...never reveal a real laugh! :D
Gotta love all that "smart blocking" and "BIG DAAAMAGE"!!
Check 4:04 Daigo with a st.short to whiff punish a cr.RH. serious shit
@moonlitearthx14 cool story bro.
also, 6:37 made me feel so bad ):
But using normals like walking left, right, wich you can see a lotttt by pro players, also good players online, > jab, L.K, H,P etc etc...is also a way to use your anti air much easier.

@XxGonixXFAN Seriously, why the hell did he say that? People keep calling James the best commentator around, but I don't see it...
he says: don't jump at me!!!
@20centx he didnt say warm but worm
who put daigo into losers bracket?
who sent tokido to the loser's bracket ?
@20centx wtf does i'm so worm right now mean O_o lol
6:38 NOOOOOOO!

Warning:
Major spoilers above and below :P
Shit! why you guys tell the result of the fight? i always try to watch the video without looking at the comments, but a just can't..
9:44 oh!~ no!!!
@kingyankee23
No no... Fchamp put daigo in losers. I can´t remember who put tokido in losers though.. but it was before top-8
I think Tokido disliked this video.
@AlexLong1000 Agreed! :D
AKUMA is the best fucking character all those mix-up's he has i hope he dont get nerfed too hard
To be honest Daigo should have lost this match. Tokido made a rather stupid mistake that cost him the match point and allowed Daigo to get back in to the game.
DAIGO IS STILL THE BEST
these biased commentators are annoying as hell. every time daigo lands a fierce/punish, "oh no!". glad he took the W.
9:45 - 9:50 OH NOOOOO.........OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@makkymokky Daigo i think
Both of these players shouldn't be in the losers bracket.
Dragon punch? THIS IS SHORYUKEEEEEN!!
Good fuckin job, Tokido!
Daigo LAUGHING? I don't believe it.
Uh tokido why didn't you just sweep after the hurricane!!!
@ LoyalSol Exactly, massive facepalm moment.
@DaveyDave808 holy shit I never noticed that. so fucking GDLK
Des ouffffss
@moonlitearthx14 That pretty much describes all the weeboos in the SF community.
@GoldbondPowder he said worm LOL

@XxGonixXFAN I like Gootecks, UltraDavid and Seth Killian is okay. I really despise SkiSonic though. He annoys the fuck out of me...
TOKIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lmao so Chen is Warm huh?
air ex fireballs fail 9:44
@Catalinutz212 explain better
Bahaha agree to disagree go watch Infiltration rape his way through with Akuma to win Evo 2012 and then tell me Akuma sucks
"TOKIDO AND DAIGO ARE FROM JAPAN!!!" - Cool story, James.
Shout out to the announcers for raping my ears.Do the skisonic by speaking fast. Shouting is just annoying.
wake up ultra = scrubby tactic (any1 can do that)
Thanks for ruining the whole video xD
omg the commentators are just terrible...yelling for nothin. look at 7:28 daigo just does a crouch Medium kick and the guy is like " OOOOH SHIT OMG" -_____-'
Wow good ass match
OHH WOOW!! OUUUWWWW!!! OHHHHHH!!!!! WOOOOOOWW!!!
