iPW EXCLUSIVE - GODSGARDEN INTERVIEW WITH DAIGO UMEHARA - THE AIM OF "THE BEAST"

[YoungDiisciple]

I believe the strongest player is the one that goes to the random character screen and dominates everyone with random characters.

[nottingham89]

I'm from uk and the online is ass. 

[1988SUPREME]

"The Beast" in God's Garden

[bruno19dnbass]

AAaa sim, entendi tudo o que ele disse, huahua

[MrkLnN]

@bruno19dnbass né não flao o bom portugues

[VirtualDynamite]

Yeah but online in ssf4 was made for japan in mind it seems. They all live a lot closer to each other, therefore have very good connection at all times.

I have people playing in the same fucking state and I don't get a green connection.

Capcom needs to improve their shit, this is why thirdstrike on ggpo is WAY better.

[buenview]

@VirtualDynamite I dont know the lag situation in America but in Australia offline and online doesnt have any difference. or not that i really really notice. its practically the same. Some people may LAG but thats because their downloading porn at the same time as playing. We can even play with the whole of Japan with a yellow connection but there is a little bit of delay .

[acidglow]

First to 10 is always more enjoyable then 1 match tournies.

[LinkLeoSF]

he makes an excellent point... not always does the best player win.

[SShadowSims223]

@ McReins WOW, your Kidding Right?!?! LMAO.

[tuber52]

wait how did jap players qualify to be in this tourney? i didnt even know it was a tourney i just thought thsi was casuals or something when i saw the streams. and who is left in thsi tourney at the moment?

and it looks like they're doing the interview in a storm or something lol or its just real windy

[sniperclown]

with daigo saying that in this kind of rule will really determine the strongest player and i agree with him hehe for me it feels like daigo going for hardcore or something like no more monkey business i dunno but that what i feel

[Macen121487]

the best ping i can get with my connection in aiken sc is about 30ms which is on the slow side and this is the top isp/plan around here pure suck.

[stupidlips31]

you dont have to be an ass, i seen this vid on my i pod touch and for some reason it did not show english txt

[Linkcrc]

@stupidlips31 that happen to a lot of clip on IPAD...

[hardgayramen4ever]

daigo didn't have the balls to match himself up against sako cuz he'd knew he would lose

[Rapture639]

lol I wonder what Justin Wong would say about the online in America.

[aceking121212]

Man I would love to know where this is filmed

[HaruhiGamer]

Japan, dense and populated. Fastest internet connection on this planet. Of course online play is not going to be as bad as Americans <.<

[XGameMusic]

damn...japan is clean as hell. look at that beautiful background lol

[zores2]

@XGameMusic Yea very clean I like it lol.

[XGameMusic]

@zores2 lol so clean you can lick the floor..not that ill do that

[StreetFighterJoe]

WHAT? UMMM SCUSE ME PLZ?

[sngoku]

"Why cant players pick who they want?" Daigo, "because I created this format and I will always use Ryu in SSF4" "You cant counterpick against Ryu anyways Capcom made sure of that, he is one of the ACEs of this game!!"

[monkeypower]

@sngoku Abel/dhalsim

[ABONESR]

what game is he talking about ssf4 ?

[SVN4]

i've been loving the fights. The format is better, its a good choice i think

[Garudanime]

its all about SAKONOKO, CAMMY & IBUKI GOD

[stupidlips31]

can everyone here read Japanese? wth is he saying.

[C3TN]

@stupidlips31 everyone here reads the english text :-D

[sowutifmahsnsux]

its pretty windy in that video. also, i wanted to see mago use sagat...

[mattrospecs]

fuck its windy there, i never even listened to a word he said... all i could focus on what his hair and the 2 trees in the background

[kuebradera]

godsgarden online ?

[600baller]

Single elimination tourneys have their value. Being able to defeat all other top players is totally skills. Plus characters like Viper and Rufus rely on tricks and rush down, they are rather weak in Ft10 game set compare to single elimination.

Winning a Ft10 tournament are competing on different skills like adaption and mind-reading.

The best player should be able to win any tournaments in any format.

[shaolinotter]

This still leaves room to run into two bad matchups and be locked out of the tournament, especially without counter picking. The only accurate way to determine the best player would be Ft10 RR, but this is a good compromise I suppose...

also wouldn't best of 20 actually be first to 11? Its pretty odd to do first to and even number. what if the score is nine to nine? is that the final match even though the loser could tie it up before twenty matches are played?

[600baller]

how come there is no translation between 4:00-4:12?

Is he saying whoever obsessed in counter-picking are moron?

[MonsieurEm]

After watching the recent Iyo vs Mago I have come to the conclusion that Daigo is right, first to ten is awesome.

[karlfan]

@MonsieurEm that was YHCmochi, not Iyo.

[MonsieurEm]

@karlfan You're right, I had a mindfart.

[zores2]

I also believe players should be at separate stations for tournaments, not sitting besides the person. Looking at your opponents fingers or hearing them is stupid. Yes, I know that is how arcades always used to be but it's time to change.

[onevietnamese]

@zores2 Yea I hate that as well. Even when I'm playing at home with a few buddies, I know they deliberately wait until my hand moves to "punish" me. So that forces me to fake hand movements at times to teach them to stop counting on that.

[zores2]

I agree as well, first to 10 is the best format. yea it's going to draw out tournaments and take more time but it's really the best way to measure skill.

[chucky78596]

GodsGarden online! Yeah and WOW! Daigo, make it happen.

[martyr84]

I agree with Daigo entirely. I really like the FT10 rule

[aznc0ffe388]

For godlike internet connection that makes online = arcade.

[aznc0ffe388]

Need to move to japan...

[oooFethennour]

@aznc0ffe388 What for ?

[thaguy]

This comes to prove two things:

FT10 = Legit Results

and

Online in Japan is superior to that of America, if you get arguably the #1 player to agree that there is very little difference from offline to online.

[azuritereaction]

@thaguy having played in japan, i can say the arcades being networked and the internet speeds used at arcades are mindboggling, it's like they're playing there in person with you, and games have zero lagtime internet-wise.

[azuritereaction]

@thaguy i went to hey! arcade in akihabara, and literally right to the left of a few CvS2 machines is a server farm that was around 6 feet tall, 4 feet wide, had to be at least 100 ethernet cables running out of that monster, and that was just for that arcade alone, afaik.

[McReins]

@thaguy #1 player of what?

[dodomaroc]

Translation please

[senshivang28]

Very nice interview.

[FatProteins]

daigo look handsome :)

[MachineKing1313]

Rare footage of Daigo's hair flowing in the warm breeze.

[McReins]

@MachineKing1313 gay fanboy

[MachineKing1313]

@McReins So salty.

[acidglow]

@MachineKing1313

Did that turn you on?

[sf4miru]

japan loves baseball.

[lancecryor]

3:18 "TO WIN DOESN'T ALWAYS GO HAND IN HAND WITH BEING STRONG". This man speaks the truth.

[ahyamo]

野外ハラｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!

[MaxPDavies]

windy umehara.

[KOkun]

Was the Sako and Tokido match streamed a couple days back a part of this, cause that's the only match I've seen so far..

[IEOA]

@KOkun

The Mago vs YHC-Mochi first to ten match already finished. You can view it in Team Spooky's channel here on YouTube (AkumaHokoru).

[KOkun]

@IEOA Oh damn, thanks brohan. Checking that out asap

[Garudanime]

@KOkun yes it was part of it, SAKONONO RULES. he might bemy new favorite player, his cammy and ibuki are so damn sick.

but i cant wait to see Momochi with Ibuki tomorrow either

[lilgqboi]

@KOkun yes
