EVO 2011: Daigo (Yun) vs. Alex Valle (Ryu)

[jubbawitz]

i hope daigo goes back to ryu for evo 2012.

[phillybfromcali]

Im just glad Yun got nerfed and Daigo is back to his main man Ryu ;)

[TurkAzraiL4]

Yun: How u doin mr hadouken ?

Ryu: haha im a legend mate, go play with ur skateboard :P

Yun: Thats why daigo plays with me, not u anymore huh?

Ryu:  :'(

[DeviantsRealm]

My dream match: Daigo's Ryu against Daigo's Yun.

[R4F10]

Daigo teabags ryu in the corner lol, any one notice?

[DesiDevoteeisaRetard]

[R4F10]

[DesiDevoteeisaRetard]

[DesiDevoteeisaRetard]

@R4F10 Sure but you're still mentally challenged.

[Devil12345Dark]

Very Nice Fighting my Friend.

[LeoVenom47]

I have no other word, just awesome. (Y)

[D1LatedPupils]

3:18 awkward silence after faggish comment about psychic dragon punches...

[jubbawitz]

@D1LatedPupils ultradavid's commentary is great. you on the other hand, are not.

[Theb0x]

this was my favorite match of the tournament

[jkksung]

LOL at people thinking they can automatically be better than the pros just by playing a lot of street fighter.

[TeRaKenO]

2:44 why,he not use ultra combo?!

[blackwaltzko]

that match was unbelievable

[ayebr3hh]

lol at the 6:00 mark. "OH NOOO! NO NO NO!"

[RespectMyHate]

How much street fighter do you have to play to get this good?

[TetsuyaBrazil]

@RespectMyHate Those guys play for like 20 years

[AbirZenith]

@RespectMyHate let me put it this way,,, they fought in a tournament of sf in 1998,,,,:P

[DJEvilYun]

@RespectMyHate 20,30 Years or play since sf

[sagatbalrog]

why daigo play with yun. thats why he lost the tournament

[AbirZenith]

@sagatbalrog geez you people don't get it,, he defeated everyone even fuudo and poongko a lot of time,,,The thing is you can't always win,

[MrMacheebye]

thats hurt.. 5:58

HAHAHAHA

[eumesmovei]

goddamnit, how can daigo be so calm, im watching the thing through youtube and i was nervous...

[AgrivatedKillah]

@eumesmovei Cause he has on noise blocking headphones? Doh!

[johncarlos1125]

@eumesmovei YEAH,. same with me! lol

[BossBelsham]

@eumesmovei He may have a calm face, but i can guarantee he was just as nervous as we were.

[bulletheone]

Daigos face from first to last round: -_-

Alex face during all rounds: :) :| :( :O :D !

[HigherDanLo]

This match is so hard for alex...

[filipinoronin]

eyy eyy eyy eyy eyy eyy eyy eyy eyyyy nice yun combos on the last part of the round. that is mad!! alex is good too he made daigo pee in his pants for sure especially on that round when both have a 0% in health meter.

[iTouchin]

I like to imagine that all Daigo is listening in those headphones of his are just generic elevator music. :D

[blastbeatsmashedface]

im really impressed by alex's ability to use hadouken

[jkksung]

Daigo always gives the opponent another chance when he can just finish them off, then finishes them off at will anyways. It's like he lets the opponent get as close to winning as possible, them gives them multiple chances to win, and STILL wins at will. Against supposed top opponents no less.

[oxane240]

@jkksung I took a look over all your comments and you're nothing but a Daigo fanboi :) how can you be so blind? clearly at 5:43 he back off's out of fear. He's a great player but you're being a douche to all his great opponents.

[poeticthief]

@jkksung Daigo respects Alex Valle a lot and he knows what Alex is capable of. Also, they're long time rivals. Before the whole Justin/Daigo rivalry, there was Valle/Daigo.

[LawLaGe11711]

david cross is such a douche-bag, completely bias and spent his "commentary" rooting for valle.

[EtherSword]

Funny how this match, Alex and Daigo are at like even playing fields and Poongko just wipes floor on him.

[Soriua]

I watched this on stream and I'm watching it again tonight, and I'm still really hyped... VALLE SHOULD HAVE WON!!! :(

[lilskills721]

If you join evo be prepared for people to read your mind !! and Eff the sh** out of it >.<

[iDunk816]

@gaiden4567 Switchipede? He sucks! Lmao flow chart ken mashing dps? Ha me with my Cammy and Vega and Crimsunz and x12Kevin12x merked that kid so hop off he blows

[7thundera]

amazing 

[primetizzle]

its like watching new daigo vs old daigo, completely epic

[Mr305Maxxx]

alex valle couldve done alot better but had way too much respect for daigo and b/c of it lost

[UpcloseKill]

ryu doesnt want to get close to yun its best if yun back dashes cause then he has to struggle to get in

[rasui80]

@Mr305Maxxx What? Losing for respect? Respect is using all you have on a fight.

[KrownClown]

this was the most hype match at evo for me, great play all around

[darkkyo97]

Funny how everyone disses Valle's Ryu like crazy, considering that Valle made Daigo switch his main from Akuma to Ryu in A3 out of sheer respect, has always used Ryu and, considering that he does lots of stuff such as running Iplaywinner, is a crazy player still who could run a train on everyone here.

Shut up.

[KrownClown]

@darkkyo97 you mean level up, haunts runs iplaywinner.

[MrErizai]

Alex was a pretty big surprise for me,i didn't know him at all. Great Ryu player,but...Correct me if i'm wrong: Lacks a little hp shoryuken,pretty cheap shit that move.

[lawnceWOO]

holy shit this game was intense as FUCK!

[Orchas]

fucking amazing pressure by daigo!

[TheRetroNintendo]

I feel like Alex was the better player here.

[lotharleopard]

amaxing gamers

[Sammy213]

man that was an exciting match.

[xxCOMBATBEARxx]

@Tr0llH3R0 He plays with a character that will get him to top 8 which he did.

[Fl1psyde]

@Tr0llH3R0 he actually did go back to ryu for 2012

[baioken]

I would so love to see them both pick Ryu. Maybe in 2012. Were very intense matches either way.

[Fitzy084]

the problem with yun now is that everyone knows his tricks 

[UltimaShadow7]

I can't wait for the EVO Finals for AE2012, especially since the game feels a lot more balanced.

[COREYMCGUIRE1993]

@UltimaShadow7 will daigo and alex be at evo or is there some sort of qualifing process to enter?

[BlueEye096]

@COREYMCGUIRE1993 Anyone can enter EVO and both of them will most likely attend.

[COREYMCGUIRE1993]

@BlueEye096 hopefully they decide to enter then :D

[mynameistnb]

@UltimaShadow7

let's see dan take out poongko >:p

[UltimaShadow7]

@mynameistnb UltraDavid actually made it pretty far with Dan if I recall, I didn't record his matches, but it was pretty hilarious.

[Sephlock]

@UltimaShadow7 There has to be a playlist out there somewhere...

[mynameistnb]

@UltimaShadow7

IMO dan is pretty good with his mixups vs a lot of characters, the weakness of it is that he can't pressure grapplers and that dan as a character is a weak shoto type, so he loses to viper and probably fei as well on a theoretical level. I play some dan.

[reniisgod]

@UltimaShadow7 Will this game be on the EVO 2012 list tho? I have a feeling it will be replaced with Street Fighter X Tekken.

[Alexwkj]

I love how Daigo accidentally missed that ultimate and I was like 'Damn, gotta rewatch their expressions!'

Daigo - =.=

Alex - =.=

Me - =.=

[CyclonicDeath]

It's full of mexicans.

[Speedygi81]

It's freaking Valle...he deserves the hype

[Cr1mSiR]

gotta give it to alex, he pulls some ballsy shit.

[1337Boredness]

Alex Valle is someone who deserves respect.

[bboychi1]

@1337Boredness why? because he plays a video game called Street Fighter? it's only a video game

[1337Boredness]

@bboychi1 try beating him then.

[AbirZenith]

@1337Boredness yeah most people don't know about alex valle or daigo or just how much they both have done for the gaming community,,

[1337Boredness]

@AbirZenith what do you mean 'done for the gaming community'? they are gamers not developers.

[Hoskital]

@1337Boredness The developers are not a part of the "gaming community". The community is defined by it's players and one player can many times invigorate or enervate it by himself. Often by inventing additions to the metagame(that may or may not be a good thing).

[OdeToSoIitude]

@1337Boredness respect is someone who deserves Alex Valle.

[MrSneakmind]

i love valle but he didn't have a chance... Daigo knows this matchup WAYYY too well...

[idontseeynot9]

5:45 greatest dp ive ever seen. thanks alex

[acidglow]

good match

[Rue666]

If daigo had ryu, instead of yun, he wouldn't of lost 1 round. Yun isn't his char

[nisbahmumtaz909]

The eternal rivalry...

The first West meets East players, going at it.

Yeah, Alex is the first American to go against a Japanese player in a fully broadcasted match, that is, Daigo himself, in 1998, I believe.

[darkkyo97]

@nisbahmumtaz909 Correct, that match actually had a 50 minute broadcast in Japan, everyone in Japan shat their pants at the thought of someone other than them being crazy (Nuki himself said that if it was him instead of Daigo he would have lost) and Daigo, out of respect to Alex, switched his main from Akuma to Ryu.

Valle, OG badass.

[jamesdante1101]

YES!!! NO "arrow to the knee" jokes!

[RyanA7X]

I love that people who play Yun are said to have gone to the dark side.

[akuma327]

@RyanA7X That was because, prior to last month's AE2012 patch, Yun/Yang were considered massively overpowered.

[THeDreamBeliver]

Daigo is a ryu player so he know how to counter it /advantage

Daigo fan:D

[FiasaPower]

Mad respect to Alex Valle.

[papaduck91]

Daigo didn't MISS the follow up because he COULDN'T follow up. I think he was just building meter. He already used the juggle properties of the ultra. Not sure if that's exactly right.....that's my 2 cents

[uchihafire12]

Air+ Alex Valle+Doomonmainn= True Loyal Ryu Player. Daigo=Tier Whore. He is the biggest hypocrite ever. That comment he said that Its over for fireball characters, yet AE 2012 is out now and now he main Akuma. I lost all my respect for Daigo. Air Alex Valle Doomonmainn are the

[tiradegrandmarshal]

@uchihafire12 Uh, Daigo's maining Ryu in 2012, dude. He experimented with Akuma and Cammy, but dropped both of them.

[sircrumpets]

@uchihafire12 Dude, he's not a tier whore, he's sponsored player so he'll play whoever he thinks he can win the most with. He's not playing for your entertainment, surprisingly enough.

[l3ts9o]

@uchihafire12 It was over for fireball chars in that version of the game. New version, new tier list. Stay salty.

[TheKevinWalker]

Ok, word to everyone, yes, I've heard the news, Daigo plays Ryu! I didn't make mine the top comment, PLEASE STOP RESPONDING. I already said to "take it with a grain of salt" and that "I'm a noob", what about that do you not understand?

[BakedKipling]

Yun smashing the face of street fighter = not cool. I would of love to see Alex's game come right back after that second game but looks like nervs got the best of him.

I have huge respect for Diago but i really felt this match should of of had a different outcome. As the reaction from the crowd would be INSANE!!!!!!!

Just my 2p :)

[AfterBurnerEX1]

ive never wanted a ryu to win so badly until now

[druha10304]

the commentators sound like 30 year old virgins

[xxCOMBATBEARxx]

@druha10304 because its an exiting match you fucking cunt. Obviously your not one for fighting games.

[Longshot3181]

Umeshoryu? Cali got the Valleshoryu

[shadowkid1993]

daigo never expecting hadouken vs a ryu player...

[mynameistnb]

going to say it again.

should check pressure is bs. this isn't tekken, or vf negative frame "advantage" is always unsafe because there is always a move that can punish it.he's at negative.

STOP

SHORYU TIME

Seriously, Yun is powerful/was powerful in Ae, but seemingly half of what he does to people is due to them not understanding how to counter some of his stuff.

Now he's mid tier. ...yay..? Because of complaints. I was salty about yun but he got nerfed so hard he might be at no use status.

[UsocRelamee]

@mynameistnb yun really didn't get nerfed that hard

[shadowkid1993]

@mynameistnb yun a no use status ?

yet your same comment says every move can be punished...

dude i dropped rank A players online with dan the man. nobody is useless in street fighter.

[Bakalar]

alex was too tense and stressed. he needs to be composed like daigo. if he does, he could have won this match.

[BobBurnnquist]

It was pure heinous when I mut his thick in my pig anus

[cmolodiets]

as usual daigo can't lose

[Neku9J]

Nice, just nice~

[YungMalThaKid]

i wonder if they still play alpha

[tubetuna]

EX Uppercut ? O.O 5:38

xD funny voice change

[Babuchet]

Fire balls, TO DA FACE !

[TheKevinWalker]

I AM a noob, so take this with a grain of salt, but Alex's Ryu is the best I have ever seen in any "Street Fighter" game.

[Koggystad]

@TheKevinWalker watch daigos.

[thesheathdotcom]

@TheKevinWalker Watch some more of Daigo's Ryu videos and you may need to re-think that ;)

[halfw1ng]

@TheKevinWalker Daigo's Ryu would like to have a word.

[GuhBukSan]

@TheKevinWalker

What? Why is this a top comment? Daigo and his Ryu is legendary; its THE Ryu in EVERY street fighter game. Alex's Ryu? That's not even a sentence.

[rsxzx6r]

@TheKevinWalker didnt u watch the video?...who won...?...DIAGO...best in any "Street FIghter" game.

[phillybfromcali]

@rsxzx6r Didnt you watch Evo? Who won? FUUDO :P

[rsxzx6r]

@phillybfromcali NO..but i did watch this video..dumbass..and majority of ppl will agree..Daigo is better than FUUDO...Daigo has won more tournaments :P, :P, :P

[gate000]

@TheKevinWalker You have to watch Daigo Playing Ryu from the last few years. He Plays THE best Ryu. Daigo has been a treat to watch in SF for so long now.

[ZeroChristMass]

@TheKevinWalker daigo ryu better. dont say alex ryu is best without doing any research. NOOB

[DragonfallCIA]

@ZeroChristMass Who gives a fuck whether Daigo or Valle's Ryu is the best? How is YOUR Ryu?

[HunterX57]

@DragonfallCIA Way too good compared to my other characters. That's why I try not to use Shoto's in Ranked matches, it's just not fair. ;)

[zeyn9]

@TheKevinWalker Lol I personally prefer Daigos ryu, hes more agressive and more willing to uppercut. Type in Daigo vs Ricky ortiz evo grand finals and see the dominance of his ryu

[ptangboy]

@TheKevinWalker check out Daigo's Ryu

[Alexwkj]

@TheKevinWalker Better than Daigo? Not trying to be sarcastic. It's a real question cause I can't tell. :/

[ComboBreaker77]

@TheKevinWalker Then you ain't seen Street fighter 3rd strike. Lulz.

[emadara]

Alex is such a good instinctive and unpredictable player. But his reaction time is holding his game back.

[pigboykool]

Wow.... what an awesome match! Alex did a great job against Daigo & look forward to see their next match!

[BallinKimosabe]

alex did beasty, best ryu period!!!

[munha666]

alex valle is complete shit compared to daigo, he only backs

[ps123fan]

@munha666 troll.

[mal4zn]

@munha666

/watch?v=zBFKxkDfdfg at 0:42

[munha666]

@mal4zn feels in danger doesnt mean shit. the guy played like a sissy, daigo looked superior the entire fight, its kind of ridiculous

[hybrid214]

@munha666 How the hell else is a Ryu suppose to do a Yun match...

[jamesdante1101]

@munha666 well duh it's yun. If it turned to a brawl then yun would win hands down especially since ryu was nerfed in this version.

[pastyourhorizon]

@munha666

lmao i play valle a lot during wnf and stuff. he IS good but he uses a lot of st tactics. his execution isn't too great though. he tends to shoryu fadc into a missed ultra because of bad inputs.

[BanzaiBeatbox]

ES BRUTAL!, Alex Valle vs Daigo siempre da mucho show!

[forbiddenXsanctuary]

Is there like an official street fighter tournament channel?

[ultranaruto11]

the dislike bar is justin bieber's penis!

[azarel7]

Nothing more painful than losing close matches...when you get owned is one thing, you know got whupped...but when its so close...ouch...

[Raffael900me]

what the fuck are the speakers talking about u cant shoulder charge normal after the ultra dumbshits u gotta have ex

[sonicboom510]

5:47 GOD LIKE REACTIONS!

[thegreatpizzaman]

daigo il fesso!



[trannypolicefu]

daigo dropped at least 3 combos in that first match, just shows he ain't god

[Abirxtreme0001]

@TwilightTLoz also and these are words of evo 2011 winner fuudo himself that he tried using yun but the need for constant offense and hit conformation made him a very offensive character with low defense . simply put yun isnt an easy character u cant just with him against good players unless u are very skilled..

[Abirxtreme0001]

is it just me or this was better than the finals?

[TwilightTLoZ]

Yun is too easy to use

[Abirxtreme0001]

@TwilightTLoZ sure bro try beating a quality ken, zangief, viper, balrog player with yun
