DAIGO not retired yet

Yeah. Now that I think of it both rounds were pretty close. Not a beatdown but…it just looks weird with Daigo not pressuring his opponent or pulling of a vicious comeback. Kokujin’s comment doesn’t help, either.

Playlist updated with the Daigo vs, Aniken matches:

Hmm more stupid comments from idiots over at Youtube:
Ricky Ortiz vs Daigo Evo 2k3
[media=youtube]kFPXymIQsvU[/media]

I’m am not one to defend Ricky Ortiz but seriously, who is this guy to say that Ricky sucks?

1 - Those matches he had with Ricky were casual.
2 - He says shit yet he has yet to go to a tourney as big as EVO and place.
3 - If he has gone to EVO, I’ve yet to see him place.

I hate people who talk shit about SF as if they know something when they don’t know jack shit about it.

*I’ve beaten Daigo once in a public game, but he beat me two times. Still, all of those games came out CLOSE, as we always had a win.Anyways, Ricky Ortiz blows. It doesn’t matter if he’s going to SBO4, that just shows that he’s more “famous” than other players.
Look at the Rap scene at the moment. E-40, an underground rapper, is now known as one of the best rappers there is.
Just proving that the people you see can be beaten by people who aren’t known. *

Who is this guy?!

you think E-40 is an undeground rapper?
try mr. lif or esoteric or immortal technique. E-40 is not underground.
off point I know.

Did you see the stuff posted in the Daigo vs. K.O fight? Man, scrubbery at its finest.

allright yall, bumpin this thread to see if anyone got any Daigo footage at EVO.

Still eyein the Daigo vs Valle one thats about to come out later this week!

woot thanks! ok heres some more from me

daigo using x-ryu

its just me or Daigos timing was VERY off? I mean he didnt play like hes used to… Ok also is the fact that he KNOWS that Valle is PSICHYC like him…

^ I heard that Daigo didn’t practice beforehand.

oh well. i guess he should have

Daigo vs. Ohnuki (Evo 2k6):

video removed by user…

^ Well he lost, if you’re curious.

Yeah, I removed that cause I knew that you couldn’t post top 8, so I thought it would be okay to post that but then I read somewhere you couldn’t post anything from the big screen and that vid (and most of my others) were from the big screen.

When the dvd comes out and if it doesn’t have some of the vids i have, then I’ll ask around and see if i can put them back up

Anyways, Daigo did miss some stuff when he played Valle, I mean, Valle is damn good, so don’t get me wrong, but Daigo missed some crutial stuff…In the First round of the last match he gets back medium kick and misses the super link, then, right after that, he gets jump in roundhouse, low short, then he doesn’t get the next low short out, and the super still comes out so Valle gets to block it and win the round.

All in all, Valle did win the match, and he deserved it. But man, i wanted to see some daigo shit in the finals.

Daigo lost to Nuki and Valle…he got beat pretty badly by nuki, I feel like he plays too safe nowadays. The matches he played back then evo2k4 against Jwong and KO were awesome…he was aggressive, but now I feel like he’s more defensive.

But hey, I might be wrong.

There’s some vids of him beasting at gamers vision a month or so ago, he won a lot but he was playin really safe. Then the next Gamers Vision he lost to Kokujin…I wish Kokujin would have came to Evo this year, he’s hot right now, he beat nitto in a recent vid, the Evo2k6 champ.

We both played like shit…nuff said…
I missed a lot of hit confirms on earlier matches which almost eliminated me…
So I opted to play very safe and punish what I can without a patern(very random attacking)…
I had a talk with Daigo when we(watts,hung,ryan hart,me) played for money after EVO(translated by NKI)
He says he’s not used to PS2 timing…and the results of the money matches (5-1 watts,3-1 daigo then 3-2hung even, 4-3 ryan 3-1 me)shows…

You bullys ought to be ashamed. Give that man his yen back.

I was going to say that but then i read this…

this is entirely true. it can be seen when he tries to rush you with 3 dashes and the 3rd one is COMPLETELY off-timing… Anyway great match man! Do you have msn? There are some people here in my country wich happens to play some ST and I would like to show you some matches… It would be good to have some comment of some US great players… even if our matches suck…

As a teaser here are a few 3S casuals between me and my cousin but they are very old… Still enjoy!

Also one random CVS2 match:

And…sorry I know this isnt the thread to discuss this…really sorry…
