  • OMG OMG NOT DAIGO OMG OMG I WOULD KNOW IM HIS BES FRND

  • 1:21 22 wins

  • ehh need to find an arcade around here somewhere. tired of playing on live.

  • why arent you allowed to record footage in an arcade?

  • How much does it cost to play at these arcades.. in the UK its like £1 per 1 play. so thats not long at all..but in the USA you see people spending all day in there, do u get some kinda pass or something.

  • most arcades...... take tokens a dollar for four tokens

  • in some arcades you can buy a card that you scan in at the machine and either has a cash value or one that has unlimited play for a specified amount of time.

  • $1 per play, but if your'e playing SF4 the winner keeps his spot and doesn't have to pay again if another player puts in more tokens to challenge him

  • @jamesdavid3 25¢... this is in California, not much compared to other arcades though

  • wow fuck i wish america had a place like this.... holy fuck lol

  • For what its worth, it does in fact say "Umehara" under Ryu's pic.

  • 22 wins AHAHAHAHAHA

  • ROFL

  • dude good thing you didnt get in some trouble because of filming hehehe nice vid

  • dude that is daigo go learn to read katakana noob

  • Yeah, I'm sure he plays SF4 the EXACT same way now as he did at the games release when this video was taken...

    fuck off troll.

  • although this video was added amost a year ago, you make it seem like daigo plays one specific way. if you watched his recent EVO matches against Jwong, he jumps in SO MUCH. but if you notice he changes up play style after rounds he loses.

  • ROFL bafare's a dumbass " daigo never jumps" LOL GO WATCH MORE FUCKING VIDEOS BEFORE U SAY SHIT CAUSE U CANT BACK IT UP LOL

  • @bafare25 you are an idiot, this video was made 2008 august when the arcade was just released, if you look at the points and name on the top right under ryu's pic you can see it says umehara

  • in short he means all the white original costume ryu are daigo.. the blue one isnt umehara

  • I wish Cammy was allowed in the tournament I think I can take Daigo's Ryu lol

  • why wouldnt cammy be allowed in tournaments?

  • she is exclusive to the console versions of the game, so i could understand why they would forbid her in japanese tournaments that are being held on console instead of an arcade cabinet. i don't know about american ones, the last one i saw was evo 2009 and they allowed console characters.

  • maybe because she not in the arcade version

  • gay vid, but daigo rules!

  • well, even with the name U-ME-HA-RA on the top right of the screen, I wanna see Daigo in control, to see with my OWN eyes, if was Umehara himself, or someone using his name

  • lindauro, who gives a shit? it's street fighter bro, just a game.

  • if u didnt read all the conversation, dont answer

  • I don't get it. How come at 1:15 hes playing Abel, and the camera moves to the left and hes playing Dictator too? Both Ryus had the same name. Please explain.

  • ::facepalm::

    Read the opening text again then go practice your Japanese.

  • I know what you said, I know that Daigo is using the original color. The name just looked almost the same. Geez, calm down why you so quick to insult?? Youre really paranoid about people talking shit, but I was just asking a question.

  • Original costume.  Not color.

  • Comment removed

  • Since aakurtz didn't answer your original question, I'll take a shot.

    The Ryu fighting Abel was not Daigo. The last two characters of his name spell out either "in" or "iso." Most likely that player wasn't Daigo. When he switches to the left is Umehara.

  • Jerails is right. The guy playing against able is "Fine", written Fa-i-n.

  • I didn't need to answer that question because that info is at the start of the video. Just read the opening text.

  • I don't get it, how come daigo can get his name on the screen??

  • Thats just how the Japanese machines work. You have a card that you put in the machine and it has your name or stats.

  • this is not DAIGO

  • befor you all go n say "thats not Daigo" can you consider the date this video got published. Daigo as you can see is beasting in this clip but yea he isn't like the shiznit thats why some of his executions weren't top notch as they are now. but yea.. just gotta say, cause if you play sf n you know his style.. then you know that is Daigo playing, even if it didn't have his NAME written or his face by the thing.. its Daigos style all the way n yea Daigo is god

  • how do they get their names underneath the health bar?

  • i think its part of the arcade, if u use a home console i dont think you can, just assuming

  • thats not daigo this guy made so many mistakes and daigo is known to be next to flawless

  • what the fuck are you talking about. It SAYS daigo on the screen and I fucking saw him in person when I filmed this. Did you read the side comment? Not all the Ryu play is Daigo.

  • lol dude chill, thats Daigo we eall can see.. and that vid is kinda early on when sf was reasonbly new so its obvious that people will assume thats not Daigo.. thing is... although yea its early on in the game.. sheeet... Daigo was owning on back then.. see him recently owning Sagot n Dhalsim? Daigo is god.. nuff said oh yea.... for all the morons.. this is Diago on the clip

  • your probably thinking the other Ryu.. the Ryu with 22 wins.. is Daigo.. n thats his style of play too.. its Daigo beasting... DAIGO IS GOD!

  • It's not daigo. Style is way different.

  • You're wrong.

  • Regardless, if we want to discuss smash, just do it on a smash video! There is no need to clog up comments on this video with smash!

  • brawl = trash

    nintendo removed everything that required skill to be done and made the game for the only public they can please -from the very start of the company with games-, 12 years old boys and girls.

  • Yea man i agree with you, i always played melee with my buddy and when brawl came out we went mad but the gameplay was such a letdown dan, air dash gone speed slower and WTF why did they change so much moves : (

  • why woudln't they let you film 3rd strike?

  • Except this will be Brawl's 2nd year at EVO. Hmmm

    Smash is nowhere near dead, there is a tournament coming up in July that already has 710 preregistered players. Hmmmmmm

  • genesis? hmmmm

  • They should have done Grey Fox (Ninja) from Metal Gear also in Brawl as playable character.. i mean 3 kind of mario's 2 foxes 2 links COME ON man

  • They should have made Brawl a better game

  • Kewl Clips ! Daigo's always had an unbelievable and unpredictable Ryu with those unprecedented wins. Thanks for the upload!

  • Holy crap the ignorance of people here is just ridiculous. Smash is not just the game you see people **** around with at parties and such. What you guys see in Smash is essentially the equivalent of straight up button mashing in SF. Don't judge the game's depth unless you have knowledge of it's high level play.

  • newsflash, nintendo no longer makes video games.

  • I fucking swear if people don't stop talking about smash I'm going to turn the comments off. Shut the fuck up, we don't give a fuck about smash.

  • Shut the fuck up, Smash is for little kids and shit, it's not that in depth.

  • @DR000 angry much?

  • smash melee is way more technical than brawl... specially in melee, theres a lot of timing, canceling, and other stuff you can do which only top players will be able to master.

    if you play it casually, its a fun, entertaining game as well.

  • Smash is garbage, it's the bottom of the barrel when it comes to fighting games and will never hold a candle to SF. Not even SF4, which is the worst of the series.

  • Wrong. It's your face.

  • i totally agree with PsychoJosh

    SF4 is the worst of the series but its still of a high calibur.. classifying super smash as a fighting game in the same category as SF is a joke

  • Karate Champ was the shiz in the day. haha

  • Full point!

  • i really dont think you can compare smash to sf, they are a very different style of fighter, and both have their merits

  • Yeah, I'm totally fine with people preferring SF to Smash; there's nothing wrong with that.

    It's just the people that completely blow off Smash as a simple party game that get on my nerves.

  • problem is most people have never seen smash played competatively and dismiss it because of how often its played as a 4p party game. also the style of fighting is completely different than sf and it sometimes looks like it takes less skill to be good at (i know it doesnt but thats beside the point)

  • Yeah exactly. People should know about what they are bashing before they bash on it lol

  • Yeah Smash is a fighting game but it's not as 'intimate' as these sorts of fighting games. It's a bit too open for my personal taste.

  • SSB sucksass omg what a retarded game cant even go online with it because its fucking laggspike centeral.... sf4 is real fun w/e tarted the ssb talk i a fucking homo who dosent play on line just vs the computer.... Wii online is a fucking joke

  • Except competitive games are played in person, and not online?

  • damn right no can take smash serious they need made up rules and that to play it "competitive" lol

  • Akuma was banned in ST, sounds like made up rules to me.

  • thats 1 charachter dumb fuck smash community take like half of their stages off and no items even the creator said it isnt made to be comeeptitive. MLG are u serious about it all what it matter is EVO or SBO. IN evo u guys got kicked out and in SBO u never there part.

  • I'm pretty sure the majority didn't attend EVO due to the ridiculous ruleset. SRK is way too elitist, they ignore opinions of the Smash community that knows a lot more about Smash than they do. When the entire community says items are unfair, you probably shouldn't put items on.

    As for only 1 character being banned in ST, that still proves my point that there are things that warrant bans. Akuma was banned for being unfair, and so were many stages and items.

  • No offense but SRK or better say EVO let the game be how its be only if something is incredible strong like Akuma they interfer. the samsh community on other site crys about every damn thing.

  • Akuma made ST unfair. Items also made Smash unfair. Both are banned.

  • We could discuss it for ever but i dont have time and will to ruin the sf video with dumb discusion around smash. You can argument how you want none ofs real fighting game fans would accept smash.

  • *Sigh* Most SF players are way too elitist.

    Smashers have no problem with SF. SF players on the otherhand feel the need to go out of their way to bash on Smash and say it isn't a fighting game, when it should be obvious with even a glance at the metagame that it is infact, a fighting game. I feel like you guys just see Smash as the 4 player free for all game with items that people play at parties and such. It's a lot more than that, and it's a shame that you guys can't see that.

  • Im sorry but the wii just sucks. The day you could play smash with an arcade stick thatll be the day (:

  • If you can figure out a control scheme for Melee that will work on an arcade stick, then by all means, tell me.

  • And what does it matter if Smash wasn't intended to be competitive? Basketball began as a recreational activity played with peach baskets and a soccerball. I seriously doubt that it was intended to become the competitive sport that it is today. Regardless of whether Sakurai had intended for Smash to be competitive or not, it doesn't change the fact that the game has a huge amount of depth.

  • Lol, depth in Smash Bros, that's hilarious.

  • in melee, not brawl lol

  • ????

  • Smash Brothers Sucks

  • Melee takes quite a bit of technical skill; don't hate on it if you don't know what you are talking about. It's definitely not something you just pick up and play, it takes a lot of skill and dedication to learn, just like any other good fighting game.

  • LOL SSB ISN'T A FIGHTING GAME

  • SSB isnt even a real fighting game scrub.

  • And that's why it was featured in MLG for years alongside Halo?

  • Lol, thats what I was thinking...its a party game. At 1:53 I first thought that was the fastese EX cancel, dash cancel into ultra ever.....but it is obviously Diago's awesome reaction timing, no Ex was used.

  • A party game that requires 5 inputs for a single attack? Righttt

  • Karate Champ is more of a fighter than SSB

  • lol I dont know how SSB got brought into this but....

    Super smash brothers melee requires insane bottom combinations just like other fighters. For example. Drill shining across FD, getting down the dysnc for the ice climbers, using the float cancel aspect of the float cancel characters 100$ SF series is by far better than smash and that should be clearly obvious. No game beats the SF series its like impossible. however, Smash melee is MUCH more than a fighting game. BRAWL is the party game

  • Which faggot decided to bring in SSB here?

  • 22 win streak damn

  • Daigo is so clutch

  • LOL SSB get the fuck out that isnt coming even near tekken and street fighter is in a a other category. If you are good in street fighter ur a re probably in every fighting game decent!

  • these are street fighter videos people, not brawl videos... brawl is the lamest thing to happen to fighters since what wii did to consoles... casual gaming is lame, Brawl is lame, Nintendo is lame.

  • I would agree with you.......if Brawl was a fighting game.

  • I went to Sega Club on October 9-12 when I went to Tokyo for the Metal Gear Online World Championships 2008. I must say the place owns hard

  • Yep, ウメハラ = Umehara (Daigo)

    I guess there could be somebody else named Umehara, but why would he lie about it? And Daigo did use Ryu when playing the classic SFs anyway.

  • The fact that it does say "Umehara", coupled with his hair...yeah I believe it's him

  • I wish arcades were this lively where I live....

    The wait for SF 4 on console wouldn't be so unbearable!

    Thanks for your video...Awesome footage!

  • zammm daigo is stll a beasttt

  • Ive been watching a ton of SF vids lately and in all the vids i have seen of the SF legends Daigo and Alex V. in SF4 they've been using Ryu instead of Ken (they're renowed for being the best Ken players in the world, at least on SF3) i wonder why.....

  • Ryus super is superior to kens in this game. In third strike, ken had a great super, easier combos, and safer attacks. That probably has changed in SF4

  • That isn't really accurate frost. It isn't known at this point at time which character is better. Daigo has always played Ryu typically and didn't in 3rd strike because Ken was far better. SF4 is a completely different game however, and nobody really knows which character is better. So far, the game is pretty balanced, so it is up to personal preference. Who pros are playing as has no relation to which characters are better or worse in the tier list at this point in time.

  • its quite easy to see how easy it is to link into ryus super fireball from a falling opponent, daigo uses it in almost everyone of his matches. Ken has a close range that isnt utilized as much. I wont argue with you though, i agree that every SF4 char is balanced and developed, i was simply mentioning some reasons as to why daigo (and his style of player) are choosing ryu for sf4 since ditching him in 3,

  • must be hard going through life as a retard

  • Hahaha! Owned.

  • talk bollocks more?

  • SSBB is shit for littel kids

  • I have never met a person who as played ssbm at a high level call it non-competitive or shallow

    i think it says a thing or two about the ppl making these comments

  • Pretty much.

  • What I'M tired of hearing is people saying SSB is the wave of the future and that old style fighting games have passed their prime.

    SSB is NOT the kind of game I want to play for the rest of my fighting game career.

  • well people who say that are just as big idiots as the people saying ssbm is non competitive and/or shallow

  • SSBB isn't very competitive with all it's flaws.

  • ssbb is terrible i play ssbm and ssb64

  • I don't like Smash Bros.

    I have a different opinion but I think I'd get a whole bunch of thumbs down if I stated it.

  • SSBM is very competitive compared to the sheisty SSBB, which is over-rated

  • Alot of ignorance in the comments here.

    bajohns99: You're thinking about SSBB

    hyastu: SSBM is not the shallow game you're making it out be. I assume you never played SSBM on a competitive level for you to believe that

    aakurtz: Smash is infact a fighting game. What it's not is a traditional fighter, like Street Fighter. Comparing the two won't do you any good if that's what you're doing

    dragonfx310: Smash needs a arcade version to be good? AMAZING LOGIC

    Anywho, can't wait to get this game.

  • Wow. Melee noobs at their finest. xP

    Melee is (maybe was now) one of the biggest competitive games out there. Who CARES how many buttons it uses. It's about the variety of techs and crap that you can do with them.

    I'll let you go with saying Brawl is casual, but never Melee. Get outta here with that. XP

  • damn cant wait for this game to come to the US!! im gonna probably play it everyday :D

  • Lucky! Hope you shook his hand.

  • Smash is a joke. Anyone who thinks smash is a fighting game, doesn't know fighting games.

  • I'll have to agree, smash is one of the cheapest games i have ever seen played. flatly, its a waste of time on more professional circuits in my opinion.

  • So like, the second most popular competitive series of game in the US is a joke?

    Yeah right.

  • Yeah, right. Not.

    Smash is a good game but nowhere near as great or competitive as Tekken, SF, MVC2, CVS2, etc.

    If smash is as great as they say it is, then how come we don't see it in the arcades nowadays? That's because no one finds it challenging enough. Tekken, SF and the rest came out for arcade first before making it to consoles.

  • Smash never had an arcade version.

  • Popular is the key word here; it's a fad.

    SSB is ok for party play; but it's so "deep" that the joke is the truth "Fox only. No items. Final destination."

    That's scrubby thinking like "Ken only. No fireballs. Cammy stage." There is your depth and competiveness; that you have to reduce the game to it's minimum expression before finding balance.

    SF, SC, Tekken all have tiers; but you aren't limited to just one character to make it a viable fighter. SSB is not a fighting game.

  • Was was the result of last year's EVO for Third Strike? Wasn't like, all of them Chuns? While characters all the way down to mid tier win tournaments on their own in smash? I'm pretty sure what truth you're talking about here now : the SRK one.

    There is your depth and competitiveness; that you have to reduce the game to it's minimum expression before finding balance.

  • You're an idiot.

  • Melee is pretty damn balanced within the high tiers, and even some low tier characters have good matchups vs high tiers.

    Looking at the last big Melee tournament (Revival of Melee), the top 10, off the top of my head, included Jigglypuff, Marth, Fox, Falco, Ganondorf, Ice Climbers, Sheik, and Peach. I see a lot more than Fox there.

  • THIS is the reason you will never be pro. Melee is NO joke.

    I guess you haven't been to a tournie because you thought it was garbage? Sure. Lemme get back to you on that.

  • Eh even though I prefer SF3TS over any other figher, I can say this.

    I havent touched SSBB, only watched people, and I dont like it compared to melee.

  • That's nice. You might want to maybe play it competitively first before you go saying ignorant shit.

    It's people like you that make me not want to get into 3rd Strike and the like.

    I hope we can get more ignorant blanket statements in these comments. It wouldn't be youtube without it.

  • dude whether someone said something you dislike or not, 3s is a beast of a game. really a fucking beast

  • That metsu hadou Daigo threw on 1:54 was beautiful.

  • It was nice but its called Shinku Hadouken.only akuma does the messatsu hadou

  • No, Ryu's purple fireball is called Metsu(not messatsu) Hadouken. It even says on his movelist(in Japanese).

  • i  just checked this out and your right.i was thinking Street fighter 3 third stike

  • Someone knows what they are talking about

  • smush bruvers shouldnt be in the same sentence as street fighter, unless that sentence happens to be,"street fighter is a fighting game, unlike smush bruvers"

  • True, but it doesn't change the fact that they're both great games.

  • One of these is not like the other.

  • Melee deeper than Soul Calibur or Guilty Gear? I'd think not. Not much of a SC player as a SF or GG player, but still... The balance in Melee is so one-sided, and hinders some of the "deep" qualities that Melee (or Smash series as a whole) is said to have.

  • Yep.

    As a whole the series is dick because of Brawl. Unlike traditional fighters Melee should not be looked at as part of a whole, it is a unique and individual game.

  • SSBM is not Deep at all, it's fun and you can get good at it, but it's very simple and easy to figure out, theres about 2 or 3 attack buttons and very limited moves.

  • I'll agree with you on that 100%.

  • XD

    Whatever. trying to convince people like you guys is impossible.

  • There may not be many moves, but smash is deeper on other levels other than that. Spacing, edgeguarding, not to mention the numerous advanced techs as well as proper DI (which includes two stick DI and smash DI). I won't list all the advanced techs here, but you can find them at smashboards.

  • Sorry, but SSBM is casual as fuck.

  • Why are you saying Sorry? I dont like the SSB games I just find SSBM fun not comptetitive.

  • I lol'd.

  • actually almost every attack can be used for combos, and if you count 20 ish moves in which can be connected with the other attacks very limited, then you got some issues. ssbb now that game can be made fun of. ssbm can be played competitively

  • that sick how ryu caught vega up in the air man daigo is goin to bustin up in ST4

  • also, fuck club sega. Those fuckers charge 100 yen a game and still have it only set on best of 3, not best of 5 like 90% of other arcades then they say no filming.

    What a bunch of stingy cunts. I should boycott their arcade for good and stick to 50yen ikebukuro land

  • What do the Blanka players do that make them cheap?

  • turtle and just spam blanka rolls. Against characters with no solid blocked roll punishment, blanka is just too damn good.

  • So true.

  • .....blanka is low teir...

  • come the fuck on guys...I love brawl but it's childs play....tekken!? your embarassing yourselves

  • tekken is shit, its like mash the same launcher, same air combo, rinse, repeat. Boring as shit, its not even the best 3d fighter, that goes to vf5r
