From my memory, James Chen always makes the most amount of mistakes as a commentator for whatever reason. There are times where he says things that happen in game, but that didn’t happen.
True. I like the world wide qualifier where everyone, everywhere have a chance but i think, like in football, thet have to open more slots for strong regions. Like 2/3 more for japan, 1/2 for US. Could be a bit more fair in my opinion
Daigo is undeniably one of the best defensive SF players out there but Punk is just too good when it comes to whiff punishes and crazy reaction times... Amazing fight for these two...
Despite the huge whiffs / missed opportunities, Punk played perfect footsies here, and Daigo was extremely patient too with impeccable defence. The winner of this set definitely deserved it 🙂.

I tried to argue this point and people just kept saying "win your region". They don't get this is not the Olympics. So stop trying to use that analogy. Cc should be about the best of the best on the big stage at the end of the season for the biggest payouts. High pressure matches with the best of the best. They 100% need to go back to point/seeding system.
I totally agree, but at this point, I am interested to see how this global inclusive experiment works out. There might be some hidden gems out there that can shake up the scene. I'm pumped either way.
Awesome match. No wonder Punk went on to win the EVO tournament this year. Daigo was playing very strong, but Punk managed the match very smartly. Kudos.
to qualify for capcom cup this season wasn't determined by points, but largely by online regional qualifiers, where only 2 players from a region can make it through the online tournaments. they just unfortunately fell in the face of other top players from their regions
Its because of the regional slots. Points only allow you to enter the regional WW qualifier tournament. Punk was #2 in points in his region, so he got in the tournament but he didn't win (MenaRD, who is now US East, won). So that's one US East slot gone. He also didn't win the CPT event (NuckleDu did), which is the other US East slot. The only way to enter CC outside of the regional slots is to win an offline event like EVO or the LCQ. Punk lost at EVO, so now he is at the LCQ.
I find it interesting how Paladin was able to walk Punk down and beat him 3-0 with mid tier Ryu, but Daigo seems so cautious with Ken (a top 3 character)...oftentimes walking backwards into the corner..just shows how play styles matter. Pressure wins games as laakuma says. Maybe it's the confidence of youth in Paladin's case that allows him to go for an aggressive game plan instead and just be fearless.
@tutuvue6294 Yeah but i don't think it was an offline/online thing that Punk got beaten. Paladin played more aggressively and pressured Punk. Unless you're saying Paladin would have played more cautiously in person, cause it definitely wasn't about lag etc. Punk just said Paladin played very well. He didn't mention connection issues. That being said, NuckleDu then beat Paladin 3-0 so he lost that matchup, but with respect to Punk specifically, I just don't think walking backwards and being cautious helps Daigo too much against Punk. I almost feel like he has so much respect for Punk's abilities that he's trying to be too careful. I think Punk is in his head tbh, but he isn't in Paladin's so Paladin just went for it. Just my opinion.
that was the one time Paladin beat Punk in all their times playing lol has nothing to do with aggression level of the players Paladin just played better that set
godda be the party pooper here i dont think that allowing camping around the mid range hit confirms is good gameplay design its just SFV with more options once you hit the confirm
What a joy to watch! Punk is Cammy god. He's brung so so much to Cammy players , daigo is still looking for a main that really works his style . Unfortunately allll top level ken players play the EXACT same way. He's such a boring character to watch and play against. Where as punk brings a different Cammy to each fight. I genuinely hope he wins this tournament ❤️❤️❤️
It is sad to see players of this caliber fight for one spot in the capcom cup while other can easily qualify cause their region sucks. Sopts should be allocated base on the best leagues by giving more spots for usa and japan this coming from a middle eastern viewer!
Here to protect 🛡️ you from spoilers
It worked thank you so much!
🐐
Even though I watch this live last night, I still appreciate that there are heroes who care about us all.
You dropped this 👑 king
I’m gonna start doing this for other videos. Such a brilliant comment. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I've not watched street fighter content since USFIV but damn it's good to hear from the OG cast and to see Daigo again.
I loved sf4 and completely skipped 5, this sf is 🔥 and I see everyone old and new enjoying it
Daigo looks so old now. I remember he said he may can keep his reactions into his early forties so maybe he is going on a slide now
What's with James calling Punk Daigo during this set?
Bro he was doing thay all day even before the set. He kept switching up their names lol.
he's retired and they keep bringing him weed instead of eggrolls
From my memory, James Chen always makes the most amount of mistakes as a commentator for whatever reason.

Probably just tired
diabetes
What's crazy is I've never seen Punk drop that many combos and he STILL beat Daigo. Man is locked in.
people said the lag was crazy during the games
dropping combos... locked in... 🤔
He was talking about his neutral @@gost3480
It's a sign of a respectful match when both players clearly have a mental stack built up. That's when combos drop
daigo has some mistakes though too so they kinda cancel out
Damn, Punk was nervous. Never seen him drop so many combos. He still managed to get the W.
C'mon Capcom. The world's qualifiers need a rework if these are the leftovers
True. I like the world wide qualifier where everyone, everywhere have a chance but i think, like in football, thet have to open more slots for strong regions. Like 2/3 more for japan, 1/2 for US. Could be a bit more fair in my opinion
because the capcom cup points system is wacky
Yup. Capcup should be about the best, not diversity. We better get rid of this system asap
@@pastorofmuppets9346 i just give a look at Group Stage, so many players that i never heard of. At least we have 3 Japanese, 4 American
You people are on drugs… these are some of the best players in sf.
PUNK相手にあの距離感で球打つのもすげぇし、PUNKが最後、CA3を盾にBO2回する攻めやら、もっと沢山あるんだろうかど、もうお互いのレベル高すぎてヒリツキがたまらん😂
"That's a grey lady." for some reason, I really liked when Ultra David said that.
Best fight in LCQ!!!
Melhor luta do LCQ com toda a certeza!!!
ヒット確認とか波動拳打った後の垂直跳びだったり人の領域を超えている
Cammys theme just made this set that much more epic!
The amount of times I’ve gotten hooligan instead of lvl 💀😭😭 I felt that misinput on a whole new level lmao
Felt it in my soul
Man was probably nervous
There's that and the missed divekick, man must be studying my replays
@@azuredragoon1140 He said he was. If he weren't he'd have qualified.

Not that impeccable since he lost
@@voutespancar Yes because someone losing by a narrow margin means they didn't play well 🙄
@@nO_d3N1ALnarrow margin? He got dominated lmao... old man can't combo to save his life and punk was clearly playing poorly.
@@nO_d3N1ALYou don't even know what impeccable actually means.
Daigo's brilliant strategy of immediately walking backwards worked as expected.
If you’re my age, it’s your former favorite player vs your current
💯
90s babies checking in 🖐@@YudaHnK
Still my favourite the Beast...
📠
They both former now... Endingwalker is just too cold 🥶🥶🥶
this was such a good match to watch!!! ❤❤❤
Don't worry about the negativity James. We love you and understand that a couple name mixups are gonna happen in a long day of commentary.
"people mention something noticeable"
time for a hugbox !
"nah i wont go in to LCQ it's not fun"
and here he is
You sure are keeping up with somebody you don't like
Exactly like huh
@@advanced8998 didnt say i didnt like him
just.. weird that he said it
@@efemjiomg people have the ability to change their minds 😮 Also you gotta understand how it's incentivized to go to these events when you're sponsored. He probably didn't want to go but his sponsor advocated for him to do so cause they want their brand out there.
@@crimsonraiza3633 chill out its just a thought. you are very worked up on this
Its a shame the best players won't be in capcom cup. The lcq is more stacked than the actually capcom tournament.
Yeah. The qualifiers should be looked at.
true.. the qualification process for CC is awful. they need to go back to points
I tried to argue this point and people just kept saying "win your region". They don't get this is not the Olympics. So stop trying to use that analogy. Cc should be about the best of the best on the big stage at the end of the season for the biggest payouts. High pressure matches with the best of the best.

The best players are in Capcom Cup, The Won, the LCQ is the last chance for the losers, your favorites don't make them the best players, winning does.
This was a great set
Awesome match. No wonder Punk went on to win the EVO tournament this year. Daigo was playing very strong, but Punk managed the match very smartly. Kudos.
God Vs Beast. You can’t get more hype than this
This is a Daigo mirror match in James Chen's mind. He probably thinks he's commentating with UltraDaigo too
Punk did well even though he wasn't on his game. Fair play
This game is so beautiful when played at this level. What a spectacular match!
WOW what a fucking match, I was CLENCHING my asshole that last round.
Those last 2 rounds stressed me the hell out
Damn I’ve never thought I’d see the day where Daigo is aging into Jackie Chans younger Japanese brother
These two are absolute monsters, and it’s a joy to watch them compete against each other
こんだけストリートファイターが流行るとCAPCOMが神様やな。
the matchup of the century bro goddamn, the two flashiest, most BM players (imo)
ウメちゃん、パンク相手にめっちゃいい勝負してんじゃん。
Omg haven't seen chen in a few years, he looks so different with long hair
I haven’t kept up or even play SF6 the day it released… who are the top 5 players worldwide right now?
This is so nostalgic to see these guys
Now Daigo can enjoy Pizza and LA tourism
I almost thought James was going to say “What’s a goon to a goblin?” at the beginning there 🤣
the million dollar match up!
I don't understand how Punk and Daigo are in LAST CHANCE anything. Did they not get enuff points somehow? I can't imagine how that could be.

@@GayleHarrahsI think may be 4 slot from each region should get in idk
Simple, they didn't win, only the best from every region, punk lost and Diago lost, not rocket science.
They should go with a point system or keep this but if you win 🏆 you can’t gate keep others out.
Rare footage of punk respectful, can his non turtle style overcome the beast?
梅原さんは読みが合わないところが多かったですね…すごい試合です。
Crazy to see daigo not turtling in the corner with guile lol
Wow 2 greatest sf players of all time
Punk is a cocky dude but I gotta give him his props for this one 👍🏿
これ凄い試合だったよなぁ。
ウメちゃん残念だったけど、めちゃくちゃワクワクした。
PUNK仕上がりすぎ。
パンクミスしすぎ
Daigo Since The 90s OG
did ya'll see J Chen with the lengthy shines?? Swaggyyyy
Great Match!!! ❤
耐えに耐えた梅原から最終的なダメージをとったのが端のバッタなの味がある。
読みの2連続なのか、インパクトが飛んでこなかったらもっかい飛んだのかどうかきになる。
A bit surprised Punk won even with all the mistakes he made, which were a lot compared to his regular matches, still great fight.
James Chen and David on commentary. Never have I hit th mute button faster at the start of a video.
at least it isnt some rando chick with a weirdly high pitch/low pitch voice

Bro didn't paladin beat him online? In person is different... paladin got washed this tourney
@@tutuvue6294And punk Smoked Paladin 3-0 twice after WW. People are gonna hold onto that Paladin loss til the end of time. Players do have bad days.

it was a fluke paladin stay getting washed
that was the one time Paladin beat Punk in all their times playing lol has nothing to do with aggression level of the players Paladin just played better that set
4:23 diago or punk toke that round cause the commentators got me messed up😂😂
すごい試合だな🫢ウメさんも本当すごいと思う🥹
負けて笑って欲しくは無かった、それでもずっと応援してます
the process for this CC has been awful.. we need to go back to the points system
Is Punk on control pad and Daigo on hitbox?
LCQの内容じゃなかった、マジで良かった
Great match for Punk!
he trolls whole audience losing to Christ T and Xaohai, but when its daigo... its bsns time
Dream match there🔥🙌🏿
Oh wow, even if it's Daigo, Ken does have fireballs too?
godda be the party pooper here
i dont think that allowing camping around the mid range hit confirms is good gameplay design
its just SFV with more options once you hit the confirm
the goat and and up and coming goat in a last chance qualifier lmfao
James getting old man, he called Punk Diago like 10x😂
capcom using james chen and ultradavid as announcers in their actual capcom cups but dont put them in the game. -_-
there are some matches where we don't need commentary. this was one of them. the commentary team should know better
Whenever Ken loses it's a good day even if it's Daigo
What a joy to watch! Punk is Cammy god. He's brung so so much to Cammy players , daigo is still looking for a main that really works his style . Unfortunately allll top level ken players play the EXACT same way. He's such a boring character to watch and play against. Where as punk brings a different Cammy to each fight. I genuinely hope he wins this tournament ❤️❤️❤️
great match
This took place in Cali?
In LA yeah
WIshed Daigo would focus less on his channel at practicing 100 hit combos. Perform them when it counts. We all want you to win =)
Not loving the commentary, may be it's been a rough day?
Daaang gg punk idk daigo wasnt playing like daigo all them wake up od shoryu was killing me and that drive rush at the end
Punk made a shitton of mistakes too
but hey they made a hell of a match because of it.
日本人が大会でPunkやメナを一番追い詰めたのってウメちゃんなんだよな
かっけーよ
Wow. Punk is so calculated!
ウメハラは日本で最初のプロゲーマーだから伝説
Why are character leg animations don’t actually match up to their movement on the ground?
Its like they are ice-skating , looks stupid af
now THIS is a good F match!
No way man, punk was messing up bad and daigo just couldn't take advantage man. Ggs
This Ken looks like Terry Bogart
why dosent daigo DI when punk was burned out so many times
Imagine fighting fucking daigo in pools
It is sad to see players of this caliber fight for one spot in the capcom cup while other can easily qualify cause their region sucks.
Sopts should be allocated base on the best leagues by giving more spots for usa and japan this coming from a middle eastern viewer!
How much time the Chinese guy gonna call punk, daigo?
Get over it, people make mistakes, just like you did when you wrote your comment.
James Chen called punk Daigo a couple times. Hard for me to tell difference too sometimes 💯
Daigo looks tired in that mugshot
capcom i am coming for trophy
Daigo Daigo Beast
Old Daigo 😢
it was supposed to be a wiff os.
but diago go up in that shit and blocked.
come on james. we need to call zeeeep ?
Yes, I guess Ken is broken. I still dont see it.
lol double DI, you gotta be kiddin’ me Daigo
Where is Infiltration? And F. Champ? And Chris G? And LowTierGod? The list goes on. Capcom Cup is a wjoke tournament
Ninguém para i Punk destruiu os melhores Daigo e Tokido pra chegar no final e dar de graça a vitória kkkkhh
what is a beast to a god? what is a god to a beast?
それでも!
