DAIGO not retired yet

http://www.combovideos.com/page.php?id=735

edit: I posted the link before downloading it myself. It’s Goemon (Yang) / Deshi Ken (Ken) vs Ohnuki (Chun-Li) / Daigo (Ken) but Daigo didn’t play.

i dont know because ive never played daigo myself. My analysis is that daigo can play his way into winning despite whatever health meter he has. he adapts to the situation pretty quick and in clutch situations where its do or die, daigo doesnt mess up that often as long as he knows he has a chance there.

yea both of them should do a couple of rounds, that would be interesting…

Ah yes I was wrong, was thinking of one of the previous rounds where Deshi raped some other ken.

time to learn how to read japanese :wgrin:

Daigo played Hirai (another Ken player) in some team tournament a long time ago and lost. I don’t think Daigo is the best Ken but really, I can’t even make that claim because I’ve never played any Japanese Kens. Judging who’s the best by watching videos would be plain ludicrous.

i dunno if i posted this but its my fave link. basically TONS AND TONS of footage here.

He has his own Wikipedia article.

You know… it’d be pretty funny… If Daigo showed up to EVO this year… Wouldn’t that mean that this is a worthless thread? I mean… He’s not retired…

My guess is that he wasn’t planning on attending until he heard how much the prize pot was worth.

:rofl: Money talks.

i had thought about that. if daigo shows no slowdown after evo itll be clear that hes stayin in the game and ill edit the topic to “daigo vid collection” or something

Daigo: I’m retiring from fighting games.
(Ohnuki hands Daigo an Evo newsletter showing the prize pot)
Daigo: OH SHIT! Where do I sign up?

at a second thought …

Daigo : " naah i’ll stick to mahjong cuz’ i can win more money than evo ,just like farming . "

who do u think wld win if Daigo went aganist Gian in ST? if youve seen Gian, that guy is a hecka machine.

gian - dude is OG player

skill gaps HUGE. Unlike other games that have bad online play doa4s one on eone is great. So instead of all the top players getting to play once every blue moon they play each other nightly in a continous none stop bid for power.

You’d see how this’d be advantagous.

Gian is supposed to be the best Dhalsim in the world, and I think Kuni said Daigo is “the weakest of the top ST players” or something like that. Ryu has a bad matchup against Sim, but Balrog (Daigo’s beastly secondary character) has a fighting chance. Gain would definitely have the edge though.

EDIT: I’m sorry, but Tom Brady seems to do nothing but place 7th in 15-20 man tourneys. Please tell me how this makes him “elite.” And please don’t mention tournaments for previous games, 4 is a very different animal.

another vid of daigo in ST.

seems like he gets outplayed but still edges out the opponet? can anyone who reads japanese verify who the opponet was.

kky is the best dhalsim not gian

Yeah, he was definitely out played there. He has ST’s high ass damage setting to thank for that win.
He isn’t really known for his ST game though.
