Street Fighter 4 - Daigo (RY) vs aa.Cross (KE) - 1/32e Final Pool A

[Dasol]

@EdStringC that's not spamming, he's keeping distance and controlling the opponent and pace of the game with his longest ranged attack; even if you call him a spammer he can still win just as easily without throwing a single fireball

[EdStrlngC]

hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken! hadoken!

f*cking hadoken spammers -______________________-

[FlawlessMatador1]

@EdStrlngC It's not "spamming". You obviously don't understand street fighter if you think its spamming.

[Rue666]

Meeetsssuuuu----I'd like some poundcake

[FalconBoxe]

Ryu: Are you ken? Are you ken?

Ken: Sure you ken!

WTF??

[FretWiz4rd]

what a bad ken

[wazzupper15]

Note to self: Don't go into a Hadoken-fight with ryu when his super meter is full

[KeenoMajeeno1]

This Ken wa good. He jus knew who he was playing lol...

[WolfSyn]

@dearlyblvd1 Bye now.

[WolfSyn]

@dearlyblvd1 I don't watch him play SFIV anymore. Didn't you get that?

I'll probably only watch him via live stream.

[TheXenogias]

the video quality of all japanese sf4 videos are horrible

[WolfSyn]

Someone at SBO this year needs to shove Daigo's hadouken game up his ass. It's so annoying to watch. I like watching Daigo play at other street fighters but watching him play IV is so boring.

[MrNaughtyHands]

shoto matches are the most boring matches

[anirudhkrishnamani]

its pretty trying to jump kick daigo..

he's a shoryuken hadouken machine!!

[SiriusPP]

1:40 OMG owned xD

[CyberPhr34k]

KEN IS SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS GUYS

[namman11]

Jumping in on Daigo rofl

[tommyboy2233]

How do you do that high wheel kick shown at 0:40????

[TeflonBTM]

@tommyboy2233 its a quarter circle backwards and any kick button.obviously you have to jump 1st,then do the input.if you know how to hadouken,its the same exact motion,just instead of a quarter circle forward,u do it backwards and press kick.but remember if u want helicopter like daigo did,jump b4 u input the commands.

[sf4pro]

@tommyboy2233 down, down-back, back, up-foward kick

[370046Byakuya]

@tommyboy2233 TATSumaki in the air

[tommyboy2233]

How do you do that high wheel kick shown at 0:40????

[KenZat]

i played daigo 2 times last year in de US

he beat me once, he is a very good player

[kokiri2003]

@KenZat Actually, YOU beat him once. The man to beat is the top ranked I supouse.

[passionkev01]

vs aa.Cross is obviously having trouble of inputing hadoken

[SJtheMFZB]

Every time I see Daigo vs. a Ken player, they lose without a good fight. Is there no chance at all for a Ken player to beat Daigo?

[gam3fr33k]

watch the marn fight when he uses ken. daigo barely won

[ShenOmega]

no chance cause ken ultra suck balls.

[InsertSh33p]

Not necessarily, 95% of Japanese high level play takes place in arcades, super isn't getting a parralel arcade release. If an arcade port turns up later we'll see Japanese adoption of super, if it doesn't, we might not.

[Inkjexion]

Daigo is dominating SF4 left and right. I wonder if he wants to continue for Super SF 4

[motherroot]

hes obviously going to play SSF4 you Retard

[2000oblivion]

god i hope so i really want to play him i think we could have a relly good match because of r style im a counter player and he a fighter who mainly come forward and the funny thing is that im mexican and he asian it'll be like manny pacquiao vs juan manuel marquez lol

[chilonewolf]

@Inkjexion Dominating??? not likely LOL there are several Japanese players that he has difficulty beating, and a shitload more that can defeat Daigo on any random day

[Phobum]

The ken wasn't that great, but the timing with his shoryuken after the jump was pretty nice, just at the edge of the daigo's hitbox

[wasup510]

scruby ass ken

[Kenderwood]

poor ken. not that good of a player realy. hims <3 jumping

[dannysubaruman]

I Agree

[BobbyDigital314]

@YoungB734 Sounds like you've been watching too many of the Daigo concept matches lol. "The content of this fight is ordinary...".

[kong0lol]

Best in the World -7 next to your comment

[keroberus2]

Got to understand where he's coming from though. Yeah, he IS pro.

Though, what he does is similar to many sagats do. He IS the best in the world hands down, just boring to watch.

I'd love to see him try a mid tier character. He'd probably still win, and it'd be so much more exhilirating to watch.

[Balmung102]

that's because you fucking suck at sf4.

[CopyNinja360]

Wow daigo is a beast

[azarel7]

yeah...the man makes it look so simple, so straightforward...

[zacobain26]

Who can beat Daigo for more than twice?

[fearandloathinginNY]

momochi

[shatowboy]

or mago...but just those 2, and maybe Joe

[gokusennin]

momochi,uryo, and mago all beat daigo these are the best under daigo

[MegaSaikokira]

that was a rape

[hollowedhope]

cross had no game. its always fun watch daigo beast an opponent but this isn't like those times when he is forced to engeneer a win by reading the opponents weakness

[rmirabelle]

I thought this was one of the most obvious cases of Daigo "engineering" the win. 2 or 3 times in the first round Ken would dragon punch Daigo's attempt to low sweep him as he landed, then suddenly Daigo switched right over to roundhouse AA - smart and simple - and impressive

[nochtis]

ken is so much harder than ryu to play

[MegaSaikokira]

ken is easy to use most noobs start out with ken

[MegaSaikokira]

i never used ken before because im mainly a ryu and sakura player but when i used ken i could do heavy hitting combos with no problem and his ultra is super powerful so basicly if you do a combo that set someone up for a ultra its KO

[a7xfan20]

There's something called damage reduction with longer combos. So no, its not KO when you do a combo that would set someone up for the ultra.

[MegaSaikokira]

dude if your opponent is at half heath and you do a combo into ultra there done i seen it happen many times

[MegaSaikokira]

true true but then again diago is also good at adjusting to his opponent play style and reading their every move thats one thing that make him such a good player

[DiscPriestHeals]

@MegaSaikokira dam you sound like a 10 year old retarded kid. Go back to playing pokemon. These are SF4 professionals you are talking about.

[MegaSaikokira]

@DiscPriestHeals dude that comment is one mouth old and i know they're professionals thats why i watch tournament videos and take part in tournaments that is held in my city because of that fact and next time look at the date on the comment i stop caring a long time ago and yes ken is still noob friendly

[ozzzzzzzzzzzz]

@YoungB734 Why is that? Looks like Ken plays  the same as Ryu??

[WMDistraction]

@ozzzzzzzzzzzz

Cosmetically, Ryu and Ken look like they fight the same, but Ryu tends to hit harder and have better spacing.

[aasyran]

@YoungB734 fgdre bcbfdgd mhgjf ,,,;ljl;j  11gdrtr rrt5dfsd dssd

[Vzzj]

@MegaSaikokira Ken's actually pretty tough, but he seems easy. That's why new players like him.

[erickheadshot]

that is so true, to master ken to a pro level is way harder to master ryu and to play against a pro level ryu like daigo with ken is very difficult.

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

i think in the begining when he is punching, e is trying to do hadoukens

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

nope

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

then why would he punch then hadouken, or is that just mind-gaming daigo to think that he is going to try to go foreward

[ChummyChime]

This version is like back to street fighter 2, shit, they should have just continued the 3rd Strike flat form.

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

i prolly sound like a complete noob saying this, but whats the difference?

[ChummyChime]

check one of Daigo's famous video below. The game play is much quicker than this version and you cannot be too offensive or densive because of the 3rd Strike parry system. also, street fighter lacks mid attack that hits opponents when they are crouching. check Tekken, i know they are not the same, but you will get the idea.

/watch?v=YnEWSO6NrQo

[darknessredefine]

i mean can i please watch a sf4 vid without having people constantly mention 3rd strike every fucking time for god sakes people.If you love 3rd strike so much take all that love to a 3rd strike vid.

[ShadowyFrenchFries2]

why because you get owned because of it =D

[Nvoy123]

I dunno, never played EX3 competetively, it was fun but it was kinda....meh. the 3D graphics were just.....:'(

[mandyata]

I like 4 more, back to the basics!

[ChummyChime]

you already have a car but you prefer to ride a bike? lol

[mandyata]

That could work! lol

[ssjyash]

whats wrong with that?

[supaboy47]

diago is a monster

[1waza1]

poor ken. . lol

[eBaphomet]

Too easy for daigo..

[PuckyTucky]

Thanks for the free jump ins, Ken.

[123jethro]

Ahhh sooo good. Beginning of the first round, ken throws a hadouken. Beginning of the second round, daigo remembered this and Ken repeated the trend. His ass got FA'd and countered into a combo!

Tactical memory. Love it

[SimpIicity1]

or how about:

ken keeps getting mk when he jumps in, then he starts shoryukening on landing to beat the mk. hes like YEAH FREE JUMP IN FTW! and daigo baits the jump in and ultras him

then ken is like fuck jumping in im just gonna stay on the ground and haduken ftw but wait daigo comboed him on his first hadouken and superd him on his last :(

poor ken

[Kupo316]

feind

[impur1ty]

man, dismantled!

[horley]

Nice bait at the end to get the super..

[oghowie]

Great zoning.

[jdigitalseven]

That FA hit from pretty far away @ beginning of the 2nd round.

[dongslol]

Looks like his hitbox was still extended from the hadouken.

[ClaxtonBay123]

Remember these guys been playing SF4 for over a Year now (IN the Arcades in Japan)

But that was a pretty solid match, love seeing a good facebook.

[ClaxtonBay123]

oo I mean face OFF lmao lmao

[CaptainHentai]

XD

Looks like someone spends too much time on facebook :P

[GaddingImp]

They've been playing Street Fighter for way more than four years.

[xIRenji]

its timing ull get used to it if you only use 1 character in ur life time :)

[KiLLaHQuEeNZz]

how dumb can you b.

[Zappafan1980]

I think Daigos combos always connect cause he practices his Shoryuken Focus Chancel into Ultra Combo

8 or 10 hours a day for more than 3 Months now

[blzdout]

But that isn't even hard. I could even do it on a ps3 pad.

[Merkilo]

that motion is actually easier on a pad imo

[ehkinoh]

No motion is easier on a pad... FACT

[MrNaughtyHands]

@ehkinoh maybe it's because you suck with a stick

[ehkinoh]

@MrNaughtyHands your reading comprehension is definitely lacking, or did you just reply to the wrong person? >_>

[TheFleeingPhoenix]

@ehkinoh OPINION

[Massacretalitor]

@ehkinoh I think dash is way faster to execute with D-pad.

[TheHXCtaLIFE]

no he practice 5 hours a day

[Dpacpro]

I like these fights... i wonder why these guys never miss some good combo's they always connect... daigo is hacker :) LOL Good fight.. thanks for uploading!
