[SFIV] Daigo (RY) vs Kindevu (RU) - 3rd Set

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

kindevu got robbed on his second round lol

[Locke2020]

The last moment when Daigo is less than 10% health, he trigger epic Beast mode~

[shadowninja202]

u guys talk like this is a sport lol

[KobraKrimson]

@shadowninja202 Gaming is a sport...MLG?

[mpulsv]

haha i really have to respect daigo! his the only one i know that doesnt lose confidence and still attacks even when his health bar is almost out. as you all know, he always has exciting comebacks.

[heavencito]

unreal skill player

[chucky78596]

WOW! The ending is natural skill. Go Daigo Umehara! :D

[chucky78596]

WOW! Daigo got serious skill!

[Pro902]

lol diago playing ryu. Pitiful.

[iReVenGi]

@Pro902 daigo playing ryu pitiful? What are you one of the cry babies that hates on ryu?  Get the fuck out with that shit

[aaronboi77]

Let's just put it this way. Both Daigo and Kindevu are AMAZING, but Daigo's better with the clutches than Kindevu is with the opening moves, hence why Daigo won.

[TheKiren90]

daigo rocks

[FlyThruDAir]

I didn't know that Ryu's jumping fierce punch can cross up. In this match and the last one, it hits above and behind the head.

[cwj1985]

Tatsu -> Ultra Hadouken, wtf..

[conroexlexx]

daigo always loves those comebacks. amazing

[kz10683]

Great comeback.

[eeekkklll]

Da fuck

[frenzii3s]

daigo got lucky...kindevu iz godlike....

[rsaran1288]

Lucky? I've seen Daigo comeback at the end of rounds so many times, I've lost count. He plays better in the clutch with little health. I've seen it way too many times to say he's lucky!

[SouseisekiFromCS]

@rsaran1288

It always feels like Daigo lets matches get that way so he can make the fight more interesting for those of us watching. :p

[Killcycle1989]

I've watched the ending over and over again, It's more ridiculous then a high stakes set up match in boxing. Why would he decide to get so stupid in the last minute after all the hard work?

[StreetTrooper]

@Killcycle1989 he didnt get stupid just daigo got smarter

[Uohz]

Props have to go to Kindevu this set though. In overall gameplay, I think Kindevu is just more clever than Daigo. Still, Daigo operates at like 400% when he's somewhere around 10% life.

The beast won, but I have plenty of respect for Kindevu's Rufus.

[joojy]

@Uohz That's why Kindevu's nickname is "the genius" and that he can make acute judgements during fights.

[navfizzl]

@Uohz he doesn't operate better, the other player just plays shitier. I've seen plenty of fights like this and i know that you don't play better when your closer to death. The other player sykes himself out thinking their gonna win and then they end up losing

[mlong9475]

Watching people finish matches with Ultra combo moves, especially ones that result in a pop-up is getting really boring, I'd wish they rather just duke it out. I miss the old days before they invented Super/Ultra moves and you had to fight it out and either side did'nt have to worry about being killed by one super move. But everything changed when they introducted supers in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

[2222do]

@mlong9475

And 20 years from now, people will be praising how SSF4 was the shit and bash the current Street Fighter game.

[Killcycle1989]

Are you guys serious?? Why three thumbs downs? Instead of defending daigo and being little bum chums actually look at the video from 4:40.

He just sits there and does shit!

All he needed to do was a low light kick into his spinning attack and it would have been over.

[Uohz]

Well, starting from there, Kindevu gets grabbed twice in a row. The first time was a fairly surprising grab, and the second time, Daigo caught Kindevu in the middle of an attack. Then, Daigo follows up by jumping in and jabbing, which would have hit Kindevu even if Kindevu were jabbing back, thereby canceling the spin attack. Then Daigo does 2 EX Tatsu's, the first is blocked. Then the second is very spontaneous. Who walks up and does that? All in all, Daigo just mind-gamed and won.

[Killcycle1989]

It don't matter what game your opponents playing, from the moment you see their going all out offensive your supposed to catch them will a combo.

It may have seemed that he just outsmarted him but imo he just thought "yeah I've done enough lets just cool off for abit" and got destroyed because of it.

[aznxkigga]

jesus christ, daigo's mixups in the last round were insane. also, his timing at the end of round 2 is amazing.

[Killcycle1989]

What the fuck with this stupid shit!?

He took Daigo's life down to next to nothing in the last round and then decided to sit and die?!

[sdryman]

Because Daigo had full Super and Revenge and had pushed him into the corner. Rufus had almost no super stock to work with and bad positioning.

[micirci]

INCREDIBLE !

GOOD FIGHT!!

[DaisukeXYX]

OMFG !! The last battle.... fuck...

DAIGO THE BEAST !!!

[5155470]

what a fight!!!!

[d1michuser]

Why are there so many Daigo haters? When you think of great SF players don't you instantly think of Daigo and one of his great comeback victories? Everytime I watch one of his matches I think what new combo will he do this tim!

[raidhyn]

Lol and i was so sure Rufus had the last match. HK - EX Snake Strike juggle was great.

I love watching these matches, you learn so many things if you pay close enough attention.

[Cajunx2001]

fkiin wicked comeback

[conroexlexx]

amazing. daigo always loves those comebacks

[boboa9]

good fight

[ROFLross]

Daigo is all about the dramatic finishes.

[hazikk]

holy chit!!!

[Shoryuken25]

WOW WHAT A FUCKING COMEBACK!

[azarel7]

its so interesting, whenever Daigo or Kindevu does an ultra it connects.

It doesn't whiff and it isn't blocked, whenever they do them it isn't wasted at all.

Looking through the Daigo videos you find that as well..he doesn't just throw it out when he's losing or in desperation, he only seems to do it when he knows for certain that it will connect.

[azarel7]

When you say Bison, you mean Dictator or Boxer ?

Please post the link if you can ?

[Keshikun]

not really.. I've mained Rufus for most my playtime since SFIV it consoles and I never do random ultra since it's not worth the coinflip.

Instead of throwing out a random ultra I can throw out lk - hk target combo. in the wrong situation I can get punished equally bad, but at least I don't waste the ultra unless I see them juggle.

Characters who have easily confirmable/comboable ultras shouldn't do random ultras.

I really suck too, scraping along the bottom of the G2 barrel.

[ImPackinZach]

It's called comboing your ultra ._.

[xJinpachix]

but daigo still won against him..

[SELG88]

justin faggot wong thinks rufus is a bad match for ryu that why he lost to daigo but kindevu owned daigo here and prove something else

[mikolyyyy]

rufus being a bad match for ryu is true but it is no excuse for losing.

[ahcho000]

u should watch the whole thing...diago won.

[Heero91]

they had 4 sets daigo: 2 and kindevu: 2.

[AtanasL]

owned?

he didn't even win let alone "owned" him.

you have to humiliate someone to own them.

[Heero91]

rufus vs ryu is a bad match up for rufus but kindevu is just a much better and smarter player then daigo. and i know im going to get a lot of comments from all the daigo fanboys that disagree but you know its true. in my opinion the top five Japanese players are

kindevu (rufus)

shiro (abel)

momochi (akuma)

Iyo (dhalsim)

joe (c.viper)

then next would be...

kindevu (c.viper)

then daigo (ryu)

notice that i would never rank a mainstream sagat or ryu user in the top five, the win is to easy.

[unclegusyo]

Yep easy to beat Kindevu and Shiro you just counterpick them with Ryu. That Daigo such a tier whoring scrub. All you have to do is do fireballs and then when they jump over you uppercut them!

[ahcho000]

daigo is clearly the best player out of all of them. just cuz he doesn't play the other chars as main chars doesn't mean he isn't good.

u need to put diago at the top of the list because i bet if daigo picked rufus and u picked ryu he'd still beat u.

[Heero91]

did i say i can beat daigo? no so take a step back and FUCK YOUR OWN FACE! but anyway my point was that ryu is a no skill character go play with him for just a day or two you will find out there is no thing hard to learn about him or do with him.

[ahcho000]

uhh...no u go fuck your own face. Ryu is not an easy char to learn at a high level.

yes it's easy to scrub with to beat out OTHER SCRUBS but he's one of the hardest chars to learn and play. Rufus on the other hand isn't that hard to learn. just like sagat, easy to scrub with, but hard to beat top players with. learn street fighter first.

[Shinownd]

Both characters are extremly easy to learn, However rufus vs ryu is an extremly poor matchup for rufus. Btw you cant scrub with rufus like you can with sagat, trust me i'm a rufus player.

[ahcho000]

oh no...with matchups i agree that rufus is a poor matchup against ryu but the way he dumbs down the fact that daigo uses ryu is so scrubby is just a stupid comment to make.

[TheFlameR51o]

Actually, the main stream characters are tougher to win with, because many others have fought against a Ryu and thus tricking them is a bit harder. Because a character is main stream doesn't mean it takes no skill to play them.

[newborn605]

Holy chit round 3 and 5 are so awesome! GG

[donferd18]

what happend at 2:05 mann! kindenvu could have came out victorious!

[Fluid638]

Daigo loses a lot more in SFIV than he did in all previous iterations of the Capcom fighting franchises. Which is what I love of about SFIV....the playing field is more even. Easier to pick up/difficult to still master.

[PsychMan]

To answer a previous question at 1:38, Ryu is crouching when Kindevu throws out Rufus's EX Messiah Kick, Opponent must be standing for it to completely hit otherwise Rufus goes over head and gets wide opened.

[Hornetajc]

Only if Ryu is crouched and right next to Rufus will that happen. If Ryu is even a 1/4 step back from where he was and crounched, the full EX Messiah Kick would have hit. This also varies between different characters and their respective hitboxes.

[truendymion]

FUCK Daigo should have lost!

[egg64]

He got sooooooo lucky.  Great match though.

[PapaLeGrand]

lol before i actually watched the whole video i just skipped to the end and saw daigo doin the ultra in rufus' face. that just made me lmao.

[Kouryuu0089]

Daigo is so smart.

[BenDtheTruth]

DAMN! I was hoping Kindevu would have EX Messiah'ed at the end, that would have been enough to get through Daigo's offense (bc of invincibility frames) and take off that little bit of life left.

[PapaLeGrand]

he probably wanted to but daigo was smart and didnt let up the offence and tried the EX hurricane kick again, which worked and he was able to finish him off.

[matthewlam101]

its not being pissed off

its called "Clutch" and come on

Im sure everyone by now has pulled a clutch in a match

[InfernoOmni]

1:38 - Intentional maybe? I wonder what makes Rufus miss the last part of that special.

[triskadecaepyon]

Rufus used it as a cross up attack, so the last attack went behind Ryu. Rufus still has one kick left in the attack that hasn't gone off yet. Then again, I don't think he was expecting Daigo to pull an ultra in the clutch when he landed.

[kenuty]

Daigo did an unexpeceted combination on his opponent which threw him offguard, Not alot of people expect 2 throws in a row. I like to mess with people head online also, i do a a vega slide a few times to let them see the pattern and then a claw, then i change that to slide, then a throw, then a slide, then a crescent and it really just throws em off sometimes.

[Weenstons]

No one can say that Kindevu is bad cause he really isn't.

[PsychMan]

Ouch... That Rufus guy had him at the end, but some how Daigo pulled off yet another ridiculous comeback. Nice quality match!

[DonMack279]

It's like the rufus player was frozen at the end or something.

[AnimeGURU475]

omfg daigo seriously

[misugijun]

At final round I was starting to think Daigo got raped that round. But as usual for him he made an awesome comeback. He must be very pissed off at that moment and paybacked the rape Kindevu made first :P

[g8daniel822]

what a come back from daigo

[mobbinthrudabay]

daigo got lucky

[jynxycats]

wow. he got pissed at the end of that final round. gg.

[VeoSF4]

Daigo = BEAST

[ajlim]

ryu ultra is so fuckign weak

[MakiMaki0987]

Daigo is too good!

[flightofheaven]

holy cow

[TestingStrat]

ULTRAAAAA COMBOOOOOOO!

[triskadecaepyon]

THEEE ULTIMATE STRRIIIIKKEEE!!!

[Caj814]

holy shit,you really can combo Ryus ultra into just about ANYTHING.

[kaako86]

What an amazing final round...just wow.
