Daigo (Ryu) vs. Itabashi Zangief

[arthas1100]

K.O.

Daigo´s face: OMG WTF!!!! o_O

XDDDD

[nottingham89]

Was 2:39 a safe jump?

[StrafeBreaker]

Man talk about sour graping, the Hadouken has already been established as practitioners of ansatsuken o rūtsu toshita kakutō jutsu, to be one of it's primary arsenals (RYU) as much as the Shoryuken (KEN). It does not take a rocket scientist to know that in battle "You use and make the best of what you got", That Zangief player defeated Daigo despite the Hadoukens because he effectively used "What Gief has" nothing more. Don't blame the world for your inadequacies.

[ksf3455]

All you daigo haters are losers, your comments on him prove that you guys suck at street fighter, it's just a hadoken....figure out a way to punish someone for using it too much.

[aIfresho]

maybe he should stick to 3rd strike

[agreygod]

daigo has done 667,000,800,876,77,75431 hadooodkeys in his life. he anally inserts cans of spam up his anus to stay freshies.

[CONSOLETRUTH]

Same ol Daigo, he starts loosing, he starts spamming

[eyokfla]

i wonder how many hadouken has done Daigon in his whole life!

[MrCharizard36]

Daigo should try to main Dan, he would still be the best.

[hoagiesupreme]

2:00 why did gief not ultra?!?!?!

[luisma8xgd]

@hoagiesupreme exactly!

[neutralizer28]

Russian wrestling is always number one

[DarkViper99]

zangief players are son of a bitches! as thawk players and blanka... AND OH SAGAT!

[rmena92]

@DarkViper99 dont forget bison and vega and cammy and ryu and ken and akuma and gouken and rufus and guile and balrog and cody and makoto and and everyone else

[DarkViper99]

@rmena92 with bison,vega,ryu,ken,balrog your right fei long is awesome akuma is awesome :D

[SamuraiGhost63]

He looked like "I lost? pfft I don't lose, thats ok I'll murder you later"

[JohnnyBoy933]

god damn..Ryu's whole health bar dissaspeared in seconds!

[SeventhSun]

Daigo behaves like a girl.

He's probably turned gay.

[TetsuyaBrazil]

@SeventhSun "When it comes to sports, music, fashion and video games you can always count on me to do my best" ...

[kilkolio]

gotta master the banishing flat and knowhing how to perfect the throw combinations to play zangief good

[darkangelmnk]

lol daigo was like wtf should i clap too,,,,hes probably use to people clapping for him

[Zco4cuerdas]

I became a commie because of Zangief

[Galaga135]

Daigo's face after that match was priceless.

[xPesKa]

i'm a zangief player and i don't blame people spamming fireballs.

the last round explains why

[Demoniq]

Its all good that was Daigo's friend not the real Daigo. Real Daigo doesnt wear a hat.

[intro94]

@Demoniq

lol.he does sometimes.And no, he doesnt has a clone friend who looks just like him,AND uses his nickname in a public broadcast.

[Tripazl]

Daigo is such a pussy in a real life

[Pdaaa]

Tutorial to be the best SF4 player:

1.-Be asian.

[raff2112]

fuckin homo opponent he won 1 match with the highest tier char pfffft

[mercifulkyle]

@raff2112 Ryu is higher up on the tier list lol

Not to mention it is hard for Zangief to get close to Ryu

[raff2112]

@mercifulkyle well too bad look at the dammage dif mash per move and special move 360 mash mash

[raff2112]

Daigo won

[Misel982001]

u play like shit

[cLaRkDamn]

daigo is a pussy

[JayLeeKorean]

how come the announcer says everything in English when they are in Japan

[3233135151]

Daigo just came outta da hood ready to play SF.

[YungMalThaKid]

time 2 point out the bars&meters @ last round

[rkedu1]

-_- daigo during tsunami

-_- daigo during earthquake

-_- daigo during nuclear explosion

[awolfen2]

I am so happy that the Giefster won :D

[Fortidogi]

Daigo broke his poker face.

[noJutsu1000]

this was so long ago. itabashi got a lot better. daigo too

[wolfpackflt670]

i hear nothing but button mashing

[Cataclysm31]

@wolfpackflt670 it's pretty obvious they aren't mashing... -.-

[wolfpackflt670]

@Cataclysm31 i no

[MetagrossRSE]

@Cataclysm31

daigo is a shoryuken-masher, he has very good execution but he is mashing shoryukens.

i played with him so i know it.

[rsxzx6r]

@MetagrossRSE im guessing u got beat?...that mashing = pressure

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 Playing online and LaN is different because of the connection\lag.

Daigo uses tons of characters, actual good people don't just main one single character.

You call me a fanboy as if it's an insult.

Once again ryu is in no way overpowered, he may be overused imo but not overpowered.

Don't get butt ravaged and butthurt you've met good ryus.

Go back to your tier lists and counters.

[fnascimento99]

owned

[xclusivebrotha]

Wow, I'm surprised Daigo lost, he was zoning pretty well. But damn, Savion Glover didn't do as much tapping in his tap dancing routine as I heard in these rounds lol

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 Obviously you've never played with actual good players.

Online games mean fucking nothing. Tournaments like Evo is where the real actions happen.

You're obviously the brick fucking wall if you don't get that using projectiles takes meter management and reaction times. It's also always been part of the game and it's worked for that long, nothing needs to be changed because your sorry ass gets handed to you and you get salty and cry over it on a fucking youtube video you baddie

[elice05]

Does anyone know the purpose of the fight, if there is 1? For entertainment or championship? But Hell of a fight!!! Zangief is my 1st choice next to Akuma !!!

[hotpotofcoffee7]

Projectiles are for pressure and chip damage more than 'proper' damage. Its just that noobs spam them over and over which is where the projectile hate campaign stems from. then you learn how to deal with them but good players still spam them too, for pressure. thats my view... anyway kens shoryuken was worse back when i was a sf noob

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 Are you fucking retarded? "omg zangiefs" isn't the only fucking so called "excuse" Saying we should remove projectiles all together would ruin the entire series. Just because you're fucking terrible at this game and can't play for shit they shouldn't change the game's mechanics all together. I don't know how long you've been playing this game, but if you look at daigo he uses combos after almost every fireball, and he uses FADC into a ultra. You're just fucking terrible.

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 It's called meter, we use fireballs for spacing and tactics. I see why you're blinded by the fact that projectiles play a important factor in this fucking game. Without those projectiles characters like Zangief who can already take most projectiles head on will crush every character who uses projectiles for strategic spacing and tactics.

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 I'm also talking about ssf4 what the fuck are you on about? and heres another quote from the comments. "having Ryu not hadouken, is like having Cammy not cannon spike; like having Dhalism not use Yoga fire; like Ken not doing shoryukens. The characters are given the moves for a reason. It's to diversify their gameplay. Would you like to have everyone use Zangief since he doesn't have a projectile? Then what? Bitch and moan about everyone spamming grapples?"

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 You look at the charts? Are you fucking retarded? If you actually PLAYED the game and not look at what other people say over the internet and use stupid as fuck charts you'll see Ryu is actually a balanced and average character. Sorry you don't know how to counter and use spacing against Ryus because you're fucking terrible at a game, Daigo can use ANY fucking character and he'll wipe the fucking floor with you.

[ngoc54]

@fasterthansound101 Ryu is one of the MOST BALANCED characters in the game, he's fucking mid-tier, you're just fucking butt frustrated that you get your ass whooped by a even a beginner ryu because you're so fucking TERRIBLE.

[Giancarlodude]

all the 35 characters are good. but you have to learn how to use it.

[billon86]

Some times i come across beast players online who will crush my ass whatever character i use. that doesnt mean the character they are using is overpowered but they are just better then me.

now stop your moaning and play the game.

[ImLikeEpic]

Rare footage of Daigo almost crying after a loss.

[lukchardhsl]

Wow, Daigo showed some emotion here.

[HomestarRunner20X6]

I like the part where Daigo lost

[Amsch]

That's the thing about sf4 I don't like. if you almost have zero hp left and your opponent almost full, it's much harder to win the fight than in sf3 or so.

That's why "unbelievable comebacks" are rare in SF 4.

[hosnflos]

What did Daigo say in the end?

[itachisahringan8]

@hosnflos

Daigo said 'that was skillful'

[hosnflos]

@itachisahringan8

thanks :)

[grimmlock808]

Daigo is a Street Fighter playing robot, similar to that one that plays chess, hence his lack of emotions.

[italianodicuore]

fucking asians they all look-alike. Chris Tucker

[cenagod]

itabashi is overrated, you never see him make the finals.

[ComradeStranger]

Daigo loss = good times

[xjoey77]

LOL at 3:20 he is like WTF! it took 7 long seconds to him to comback to heart lol

[RealRussianStandard]

daigo shoots to much...hate it

[galva07]

Wow, I like this Zangief player. I'm taking some notes from this guy, I'm a Zangief player. :)

[Linknot100]

@galva07 aloha zangief is also a good one

[CohenGames]

Alguém traduz sa porra ai pra mim?

[dikhday]

Hi! How to make movie that Zangiev perform at 2:57-2:58 (fast sprint forward + taking haduken without damage)?

[CohenGames]

@dikhday Use Focus on the hit moment and fast sprint forward

[beberle4]

@dikhday you just do the focus attack. medium punch and medium kick at the same time. you absorb the attack

[E4RL4444444444444444]

i wish i was good

[wwwwwwwfe]

LOL at how niether player can look at or address the other after the match. It's like they're hiding behind the internet face to face. Pussies.

[gooch036]

All strategies are fair game in fighting games including "spamming" fireballs, if you cant counter them, then thats too bad.

[alexandher2]

@gooch036 yea... sorta like rock paper scissors. if you dont use all 3 theyll have a higher chance of winning.

[alexandher2]

@gooch036 yea. sorta like rock paper scissors. j/ need to know whe to use your paper against the solid rock...

[SonofSolom0n]

Im always amazed how other japanese players make daigo look human, then he comes over here and kicks all our asses with ease.

[nerrage]

Ew, HRAP sticks with Hori buttons. No wonder Diago didn't win.

[OMGitsaBLAST]

daigo said plainly, "he was very good..." as he got up.

He was totally expecting to win that

[Speedygi]

I didn't think Itabashi needed to FADC in the last round. He would've had an easier ending with two ex bars.

[muscleandtan]

Look, Daigo is the world champion, but the fact that all he does is HADOKEN all the time makes him a lot less impressive. It's boring and CHEAP. Let's see him win without using Hadoken. And start using other fighters besides RYU!

[lilgoldfish]

@muscleandtan have you vs anyone who spams just haduken? how bad did you beat him? If diago was only that simple to beat aye.. He also uses other character but not as his main.. Check them out

[kailmanning]

how bout Ken? Besides He uses Hadoken so much not ONLY to inflict damage it also throws you off guard and eventually you'll rush to him try to hit Him and get countered. That's his personal strategy, Why Bash It? and what character do you know who doesn't overuse a move in street fighter?!

[ValeTudo34]

@kailmanning Using Hadoken's is a basic strategy for Ryu. You unleash a barrage of well timed Hadoken's to get your opponent to jump and then "zone" them out by either doing a shinryuken or hitting them whenever they try to jump over the hadokens

[kailmanning]

yup i just started using hadoken quite abit myself

[ShadowlessMar]

@muscleandtan Evidently you missed Third Strike. He used Ken, there.

And having Ryu not hadouken, is like having Cammy not cannon spike; like having Dhalism not use Yoga fire; like Ken not doing shoryukens. The characters are given the moves for a reason. It's to diversify their gameplay. Would you like to have everyone use Zangief since he doesn't have a projectile? Then what? Bitch and moan about everyone spamming grapples?

&& Daigo follows up with combos too. Happen to notice you note that.

[visceron]

@ShadowlessMar True, they are designed to use certain moves, but if you are using Ryu against Zangief, you will be countered almost everytime with his spinning fists which have the fireball pass through him and also open you up for free damage.

[xXMXxUNLIMITED]

@ShadowlessMar in Third Strike he do a lot of combos with ken its was awesome but in SF4 with ryu ..he only do hadouken that no skillz

[ImLikeEpic]

@xXMXxUNLIMITED As if it's not if he throws hadoukens out of nowhere ..do you think Daigo actually became one of the best spamming shit without thinking? learn before you talk son

[xXMXxUNLIMITED]

@ImLikeEpic only noobs do hadoukens  spamming i know he is the #1 champ but at least win with skillz

[ImLikeEpic]

@xXMXxUNLIMITED dude he throws hadoukens for spacing and punishing opponents mistakes if that isnt skill i dont know wat is

[SniperWalrus]

@muscleandtan Your totally right, he should just run into Zangief and just keep eating throws...Wait, that's not right...

[BobbyDigital314]

@muscleandtan Scrub written all over you.

[noJutsu1000]

@muscleandtan haha either you're a pretty good troll, or you're just stupid. everyone else has already bashed on you for your ignorance of gaming strategies and substandard ability to recognize patterns. THEN, maybe you would see that shooting hadokens (zoning) isn't as random as you'd think. leave gaming to us and go watch some steven seagal movies muscleandtan.

[P0ko4Sh0]

You can tell he was mad when they get into round 2.

[iorilamia]

vangief is the ultiate gief player!

[jdogg0908]

lol @ daigo's expression  " I....I....lost???"

[teamflyboys]

He looks so defeated... Poor Hadoken spammer.

[killertoaster100]

my unti wood put a better fight then this and she hates fighting games im sorry but this fight sucks hard core

[BaalBuddy]

The gallery at the end were all like

"Awwww!! God!! [that's what they call Daigo] How could you lose!?"

and Daigo was like

"Uhhhh... cause he was really good..."

[trailsanddeer]

Of course he lost, look how high he was!

[Icestad]

FOOTSIES!

[thejuggernaut81]

This video gives me such inspiration to stay with gief seein a player out footsey daigo. The key to him winning was to get in by baiting the beast to press low forward then dancing in and out of it's range so he can Psycic stuff it with c.lp > ex glv like in 0:58 , whif punish with c. lk > ex glv 2:32. Once he was in it was all about the shinanagians sequences that rape about 3/4 of your life 2:36 - 2:50. Top 8 at evo and vids like this gief is top teir.

[FlyThruDAir]

Daigo looks like he was gonna kill somebody and then thought "Oh wait, remember to clap. They'll never suspect me if I clap first."

[wischM0B]

@FlyThruDAir LOL!

[hiroki222]

らっきょさん何してんすかｗ

[Chewychucky]

YEEEEA, Zangief is so kickass!

[Akuma31er]

why is there no street fighter ex plus alpha tournament ? 

[Killergymsox]

Poor Daigo is so sensitive lol

[doodoostank]

I love the little golf clap he does at the end

[t0m0369]

i fucking hate zangief. 5 moves and im dead. all players who go up against zang hsould just do the most dmg first and wait until the time runs out .

[TheGreatReptar]

@t0m0369 Learn to zone him.  Zangief is like Honda in that he does very high damage close up, but has hardly any options to get in. All he can really do without meter is lariat, and if you bait those, you can sweep. With meter he has green hand. Also, if the other person is doing a lot of command grabs, jump back and do some instant overheads or something to him.

[owneddiagonal]

look at their pads, theyre still playing on the good old nintendo

[Dez13040287]

he looks like he's about to cry LOL

[megamanxtc]

本当上手かったですね。

[vargtegel]

@megamanxtc neee

[DCKar2nist]

finally japenese sf4 players that show emoition after a fight

[deadeye723]

whats zoning

[deadeye723]

what is zoning and what is fadc??? i would really appreciate it if someone replied

[TancerFang]

Zoning is keeping your opponent at certain distances, Fire balls stop your advance most of the time, let Ryu back away and engage at will.

FADC is Focus attack (M.K + M.P) dash cancel

[lamugi2]

rare footage of daigo actually smiling...

[komujimaru]

no emotions + virgin + robotic reactions = daigo the sf4 beast

[Graftin2006]

@komujimaru Daigo is married mate...

[monkeypower]

@Graftin2006 wow so you know info about him not even his family, friends or anyone that is japanese knows. do you stalk him?

[icrityourpants]

Zangief FTW

[saturn118]

@icrityourpants That's right kids, I am the best!

[MarioBro15]

O_O daigo smiled!

[helshadow]

hes not realy that good at it all he does is spam hydokens and heavy kicks lol no comboes what so ever xD

[m2sniffles]

@helshadow its called zoning, its not just spamming hadokens for shits and giggles like the 12 year olds do online

[striderwut]

2:59 - 3:03 some super mario moment

[Kidvid711]

I don't ' care what any one says, Daigo is still the man

[boomshizzIe]

sf4 is the most balanced fighting game if you dont agree then fuck you

[supajoesan2s]

actually super sf4 I heard would be balanced, I'm a tekken player but I know for sure that Sagat in sf4 is an overpowered character.

[TancerFang]

Name someone who tops besides Mugo with Sagat.

He's powerful, but he isn't over powered, this isn't SF II any more where he could chip you to death.

[supajoesan2s]

@TancerFang Idk man its I heard that Sagat gives a lot of damage but most of all its the way one controls their character. I saw a video with Justin Wong and he said he doesnt use fireball characters and if he does use a character that has a fireball move he wont use it. as far as daigo plays its really crazy

[TancerFang]

By no means am I saying Sagats weak sauce, It's just that people react like you picked GIll or something. I'm way more scared of Zangiefs and just as scared of Ryu's as Sagats.

[kankerturk123]

@supajoesan2s you must be joking, you know Justin Wong's favorite character is Chun? She uses fireballs, so stfu :).

[supajoesan2s]

@kankerturk123 theres a video where he says even if he uses fireball characters he doesn't really use the fireball move or maybe even not at all. watch your mouth dude, do some research

[lilgoldfish]

@TancerFang nah he still is, thats why his getting nerf in ssf4

[hopang12]

@boomshizzIe lol...

[gregbaby11]

the more and more i read comments on youtube the more and more i see that make no sense what so ever

[cokazian]

Fuck the parry, don't ever bring that up again.

[ComeOnGaming]

@cokazian What?!?! Parrys added a new kind of skill! Sure, you could spam like hell, but a good parry could turn the whole match around!

[gabfergon]

BRING BACK THE PARRY WHO'S WITH ME !

[ddazza7447]

i agree or remake 3rd strike

[NysiLLest91]

werddd 3rd strike was the bomb

[XxbestofthebestxX]

i am sir!

[Shodan117]

3:22

Daigo mad

[BrandonNielsen87]

Zangief is the hardest character in my opinion.

[2fnez]

i main zangief. ryu has to play super lame against him spamming or gief will get in and face rape him

[CrazyCartwright]

Good to see 'Gief kick Ryu's boring spamming arse.

[magxl]

lol cornballs...Zangiefs mad nice in this

[kiddouble]

Siberianhuskey89 i think you need to leave your house an get some air.

from when you leave over ten comments regarding a street fighter game an argue other something noones else shares you view on, is when you know.

if you reply to me * which you probaly will* u'll find yourself just typing in white space.

:)

[Siberianhusky89]

I wouldn't be so upset if the game wasn't so horrible and horribly overrated : P Anyhow, I'm almost done... I'll always remain mad at this game, however, nobody gives two damns so I guess I'll have to live in frustration and anger for the rest of my life, just like with music.

[DarkNatasX]

LMFAOO AT THE ENDING SCORE!!! Daigo - 3, Itabashi - 1

[arudriano]

@DarkNatasX daigo ball licker!!

[DarkNatasX]

@arudriano I was laughing at the score, you weirdo. o__O"

[mastervg14]

love how daigo so calm when hes about to whoop some ass!

[WelcomeToTheNextLvl]

Daigo fanboys loves to play with white Ken.

[Jman6752]

lol i love seeing daigo lose he always looks like he disgraced his family and gonna go all bushido

[ForTheLoveOfBoxing]

lol

[OrganOwner]

What are you talking about--he also looks that way when he wins.

[Jman6752]

i disagree... when he plays he always has this calmness about him.. but as soon as he loses he starts staring at the screen and then stares into nothing

[FIxt00l]

Me too, and he wanted to cry @ 3:26.Can`t win them all...

[SleepyBuddha1]

He has.

[OLYiP6XcppYs4]

@Jman6752

suck my cock you pancake shitface
