Man, his Ryu was already godly, then they gave him this monster. Even though he lost CapCup that year, Daigo's games on that last year of SF4 were nothing short of amazing.
honestly i feel like he was the best sf4 player. if we would have played kaz in a first to 10 after that im sure he would have got him. he steam rolled everyone he played before kaz.
He for sure would have either won evo or capcom cup 2016 had sf4 survived. I wish sf4 survived until 2020. And for sfv they released it as champion edition. That would have been perfect.
capcom should start capturing the data of these pro players then applying it in an A.I. then add that as a new feature in their games "challenge the best" featuring daigo A.I., sako, tokido, fuudo, kazunoko, nemo, momochi, xian, nuki, and a lot more that is like going up against an A.I. in chess but in fighting games
its not a bad idea. The CPU player reacts before the start of fight. is easy to prove, only need use a particular attack or movement before the countdown of the start of fight and you will see the cpu reacts according to the combinations of button what pressed. that means, if capcom use the A.I of daigo for example, is similar to fight vs a TAZ program, is an impossible challenge, because CPU reacts acording to your buttons pressed, and not to animation movements. all i said is merely empiric speculation. sorry for my bad english

This daigo was probably this biggest problem in street fighter history. He already has a dominating history in SF2 AND 3. Bro spawned in with a ray gun while eveyone got pistols
WTF lol seeing this is incredible while understanding the difficulty that goes into the execution and also the impeccable hit confirming. It gives me chills every time lol
USF4 was the only SF game i owned for years. I was dirt poor with a video game budget of $0. Got me through some rough times and i still consider it my fave fighting game.
michael scoggins Check out the transition between 86, 85 and 84 seconds more closely The 85th second doesn’t last as long as others and changes quick. There’s like 0.4 to 0.7 seconds missing. If it were a natural occurrence, Daigo’s combo timing would have been thrown completely out

He's essentially a non-canonical what-if version of Ryu that completely succumbs to the Satsui no Hadou. It's the version of Ryu that Akuma wanted to fight so badly, where he stops trying to fight his inner darkness and becomes so consumed by it that he wants to fight and destroy everything around him. He essentially represents the overarching story that Ryu has had since Alpha, ending in V where his darkness is purged and becomes Kage. The hole in his chest is a reference to the Street Fighter III Final manga where Akuma blew a hole through his chest. That's represented in this game as Oni's Meido Gouhadou
@@kaihedgie1747 man where did you get all these stories from. Im very inclined to watching/reading it if there is a movie or comics about it. I only know 2 street fighter movies, the one with guile as main character and the one where they fight a cyborg like creature
Freakiest thing is 99% of Daigo's combos are all custom spur of the moment, none of them are established and all of them were just his mastery of SFIV's mechanics.
Back then I never realized how hard some of these combos were to actually pull off. Not really a fan of that type of stuff, I think fighting games should focus more on the mindgames rather than mechanical skills, but it's impressive anyway.
Daigo is a beast like are they even playing.or.just.setting their sticks down and watching lmao. But yea you can't be doing stupid moves playing daigo. I saw alot of people trying to jump in on ryu that's a dumb move you gonna get shoryuken every time. Same with trying to wake up tiger knee just silly mistakes costing them the entire match
I bought both games recently, one on Ps3 one on pc. Could you tell me what you like about sf4? Since many ppl seem to prefer sf4 too but I can't seem to bring myself to play it over sf5.
@@joviteh6355 From a viewers standpoint SF4 is soooo much more fun to watch, it's so fast paced. SF5 has gotten better since launch but id still watch 4 over 5 any day. Playing wise SF4 is fun because there's crazy combos and like ridiculous ones making moments like that last clip in this video memorable. A lot of those hits are one frame links and people dont get how hard some of that is to do especially in a tournament situation. I'm not saying SF5 is painfully easy but it's a lot more accessible and easier on new players than SF4
sf 5 is really boring. Even playing the game I feel its just going through motions. Fish for your one or two good buttons, confirm into whatever optimal combo there is, and maybe throw in v trigger or super at the end or extend it. rinse and repeat. Then many rounds you just get blown up because there is zero defense. You just block or try to mash a button those are your choices. Guess wrong and lose.
