SSFIV - SoCal Regionals: Ryu (Daigo Umehara) vs Ryu (Alex Valle)

[gildischnack]

on the first game of the first set:

why didnt daigo just make a ex-dragonpunch on wakeup to chip valle out?

[fluffybou]

@gildischnack Valle had space behind him to backdash on wakeup so it would have been very risky

[CaptainGirlrod]

DAAAAAAAAAIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-­

[jkksung]

Daigo is like 10-2 against Alex Valle in tournament play.

[jkksung]

They don't just throw hadokens at each other. You didn't watch the video.

[AbirZenith]

1989-2011 what a rivalry

[Roxas32dark]

The best zoning match ever.Wish i could play better with ma ryu.

[NitoSpeak]

Someone explain this to me, if this is top level play why do they just keep throwin hadokens at each other? I don't understand at all. I was always scolded for doing this online.

[ZOMBIEGUTSTZA]

@NitoSpeak The reason you are scolded would be that most of the online community has no idea how to actually play the game.Ryu is a zoning character who SHOULD be throwing a lot of fireballs to pressure his opponent and set them up how he wants them to be or bait them to jump for a DP.Dont mind the online community as most of them have no clue what they are talking about.

[architectus777]

That was the most bad ass street fighter match I've seen.

[messatsu9999]

in 1:57, daigo did crouch medium punch then connected with crouch heavy punch and end the combo with a dragon punch. heres a question, how can you do crouch heavy punch straight after a crouch medium punch and link them as a combo? thanks

[donniereisig]

@messatsu9999 cr. MP is +5 on hit and cr. HP only has 4 frames startup. So he has plenty of time to link them.

[Singe125]

OH GOD THE FOOTSIES

[OverLoad619]

Why is that all the Japanese people show no emotion.

They have a completely blank look, kinda awkward..

[rsxzx6r]

@OverLoad619 u watch all japanese people?....or just 2 and assume all are like that?....dumbass...

[OverLoad619]

@rsxzx6r Yeah, ive watched every Japanese person... dumbass....

[flywhiteguytim]

@OverLoad619 You can't really defend yourself all that well when you go around making stereotypes about other groups of people.

[Baqsam99]

One of the best sets I've seen in a while! Literally had me screaming and jumping...

[mztguitar]

So who won at the end?? Ryu?? Damn!!

[LTM360]

That was damn good.

[starliteinfernal]

i don't know why this doesn't have more views... it was totally epic.

oh, and i thumbed up too :)

[Killcycle1989]

alex & daigo go well back

[yourleftnut1]

6 viewers does not understand what SSF4 is

[abcdef90]

DAIGO FUCKING SMILED AT 7:21-7:24!?!?!??!!

FUCKING JUST JIZZED

[tjaschicksalVegita]

@abcdef90 Thats done with After Effects... he cant smile

[AmigoOne]

"that wouldve been hot"

a real sf fan

[HectorGarfria]

wow you're a retard

[DoucheFagX]

pretty sure daigo coulda taken both games if he wanted to, looks like he just wants to put on a good show

[TheLongestUsername93]

denial is hilarious.

[DoucheFagX]

not denial, just after watching enough videos of street fighter pros you develop a sense of their nuances and idiosyncrasies, how their playstyle works yah know? and i've seen what daigo can do when he's pressured and how he thrives in that pressure. here he didn't look pressured at all against valle, he seemed pretty well in control of the entire match

[mloclam7]

ahaha "DDAAAAAIIIGGGGOOOOOO"

[mloclam7]

What an old rivalry always fun to watch.

[azarel7]

That was a great match...good stuff..

[19TSEliot48]

Boring as hell. Who the fuck is Alex Valle? He's never even beat Justin Wong, who is the best Super Street Fighter 4 Player in the world. Let's go Justin, let's go! (*Clap Clap*). Let's go Justin, let's go! (*Clap Clap*). U - S - A! U - S - A! Alex Valle isn't even American.

[ElectricWizard616]

@19TSEliot48 Valle beat wong 5-2 in the battle for the west coast invitationals dude lol

[ShaySSBB]

@19TSEliot48

-sigh- just another lonely troll looking for some attention, don't feed him guys, let's let him starve this time round.

[FreekyDeeky21]

@19TSEliot48 You need someone to hold you at night.

[xdarklinkxz]

Daigo took the first round of game 3 by the hair of his chinny chin chin.

[ElectricWizard616]
