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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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!
"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. :)
And yes career does not mean skill at all time, but it does mean legacy and influence that carries on for even hundreds of years, thus why I said Beethoven, on the other hand you have "people" that have a huge hit, and that everyone is talking about it, but years later everyone forgets about it. Thus why I said gangnam style. So who is the best at the moment is irrelevant when they don't have a career to back them up.
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.
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.
not a grand final or tourney, but one of the top 5 most significant matches of the SF4 era
This is why Daigo is the best.

Love Daigo for always bringing the heat, even for exhibition matches!
"my goodness, it went straight to voice mail." LOOOOOOL

Zhi's commentary is on point. May be the best for SF4 commentary I've heard.
One of the funniest commentators.
@@Vale-jg1zm couldnt handle watching SFSnore without commentary.
@@Raiden3651damn

Ya Zhi is the best. Always a joy to hear him. His commentary at SEAM 2015 is one of my favorites.
😎👍🏻
Thanks for the video, ckeanlol. I was looking around to see this great match-up everywhere!
unleashing that crowndfunding... how does he even come up with that shit😂😂😂😂

Still can’t get over this video. Daigo totally best Infiltrations ass lmao
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.
Thank you for uploading this!
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!
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.
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"
I wish I could have much fun as they do when playing SSF4!
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.
"Take me to Jerry Springer!!! I'll take the test" - Zhi
"That's Maury" - Other dude
Yep. Daigo says it before matches sometimes, according to the Daigo manga.
"I am power made flesh! Feel how weak you truly are!"
OMG Daigo is playing flawlessly. Guess he showed Infiltrationn the true meaning of PAIN!
"The Power to Keep Winning"
Infiltration: after Evo, I don't think your a "beast" any longer
Daigo: Lol Bitch please
THANK YOU FOR THE FAST UPLOAD

"He's going crazy -- hallucinating!"
Very good sportmanship by both of them. No wonder why they are pros.
ZHI - "he thinks his volvic is actually a phone..." Ross - "it went straight to voicemail" lmao
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.
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
thanks for the quick upload
Daigo is like batman, he can beat anybody in the world as long as he has time to prepare for them.

lmfaoooo
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.
LOL! "Yellowhawk down!"
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
He finally did it! THE BEAST IS BACK!
Zhi with all the punch lines makes this hella funny to watch
10:30 is seriously awesome
How are they linking some of these combos? Geez
Thanks! But my video freezes every time the camera pans to Daigo. ;)
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.
is there a way i could mute the commentators? hurts my head with those referrences
thanks, looking all over!
ty for upload fast
looks like diago vs anyone, is actually first to free

is this recent or old vid been out of the gaming community for a while now?
What was it that Daigo found out about Akuma that made it to where he could steam roll Infiltration??
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.
Infiltration made Daigo go back to the drawing board. Now Daigo sending him back to it.
holy shit, Daigo taking his place in the top back hardcore
5:06 his smirk LOL
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...

Hey i dont follow the fighting game scene but is this from a RECENT EVENT? what is the CONTEXT of this MATCH?
It may be laggy, but they need to pick the volcano stage when these two fight.
"You know something about the number 4" -expert bait by Zhi
... How long have you been playing in SF tournaments?
Best alt custom for Ryu. Daigo has good taste.
ORDER HAS BEEN RESTORED
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
"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. :)
"Daigo's new style change download complete".....Laugh sips coffee
"analysis commence..."
How do you keep you cool when playing. I jump and twitch and twist and turn as I play.
first xian then infiltration whats next for the beast ? evo 2014 ? :0

Sako vs Daigo already happened, it was actually F50.Daigo won 50 to 20 something, i forgot how many matches Sako won
great post! thanks
I don't know why people keep on saying infiltration wasn't the same before ae2012... He placed 3rd at evo 2010......
One of the best challenge of sf4. the only challenge that can surpasse this one is the ft10 of luffy vs santarouman
lol the commentator " this is a marathon, who will be the Kenyan "
The beast is on fire!!

Why the hate for Zhi? He's awesome and making it entertaining.
I wish Daigo played like this back at EVO.
Dat Shingeki no Kyojin reference @ 01:00
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.
yeah it was recent, a few weeks ago it was just a first to 10 with infiltration, just a challenge, nothing in stakes.
This is just one week ago at Tokyo
