Why are you posting matches with Ryu using ultra 2? It’s not even considered an option to choose. Ultra 1 will always be 1000x better. Also, I’d advise you to not post bad matches of ryu unless you are asking for criticism…
Owch that was mean! But let me correct you alittle bit. Ultra 2 isn’t that bad if used correctly.

You can link Ultra 2 with a simple Punch or kick.
I have the feeling Ultra 2 is underrated. Its an amazing punisher if opponent screw up. Perhaps vs rush down character.
Lets say vs Abel or Seth force them to play a little more honest. Is ultra 2 scaled if you land jump hk ultra 2.
The only time you would remotely consider using U2 is against Fei Long so that you can punish his EX chicken wing or some other whiffed moves of his. It just gives you some respect on wakeup and all. The fact that it can’t be fully landed from CMK EX Fireball FADC U2 just shows you how useless it almost always is, however.
When you refer to linking Ultra 2, I would like to first say something: Firstly, you almost never get the full animation. Secondly, the damage done by the links are typically significantly lower than that of Ultra 1. Oh, and not to mention: Ultra 1 can perfectly punish moves like EX chicken wing and dash punch as well. It’s just that it would be less damage and that’d be it.

Ultra 2 can be used to control the air and many diffrent ways.
Watch in my 5videos how ultra 2 saved my butt.

I watched one video. Sure, U2 can punish jump attempts and ultras and what/nots, but is it really necessary when you already have a 5 frame invincible DP along with another ultra that gives you comeback potential? No. If you had played even more solidly, you would have not needed it. Along with that, we should compare the number of times ultra 1 can be landed in comparison to ultra 2 in a match. Ultra 2 has some use. All ultras do. But it cannot be compared with Ultra 1, which is regarded as an easy linkable ultra that gives you great comeback potential. With this, I’m done arguing.
Daigo got fucking bodied. So this match up isn’t any easier with all of Fei Long’s nerfs?
I think the failed combo’s are a big reason he lost those to be honest, he messed up solarplexus xxx 4 times? or something around that many. each led to either an ultra or around 250+ dmg, i know 2 of the rounds if he didn’t mess up the combo the round was mostly his for the taking
Daigo played below his level , missed 3 solar plexus link get punished by Fei long Ultra, eat another ultra
on a lucky missed option select by Fuudo. Cant based the match up on 3 games alone.
It will still remain an anoying match up since it seem you have to play overly cautious if you dont want
to start eating Rekka on Rekka.
Daigo got cornered and had no escape tatsu to help him out. Daigo also missed a mashable link 3 times which didn’t make sense but meh
In regards to Ultra 2 if it doesn’t fly across the screen and combo into from more than 10 different things its useless.
I think he missed those plexus links because it was online. Sure, he may have actually missed them, but missing 3 of them for him is unusual. Especially since he beat fuudo in most of the matches he played against when playing offline in an arcade. Daigo’s getting back to the ryu rhythm, but fuudo’s still damn good.
its a mashable link? i must be doing it wrong lol
Its only mashable is you go for a shoryuken. If you do the 1 frame link c.hp srk it require precise timing.
I think online play is the reason for misexecution. Ive seen him do c.mp, c.mp …nothing againt Makoto.
Also c.lk 2 or 3 times missing his p-link timing, miss 3 solar plexus.
If you watch Mago Feilong he was struggling with his chicken wing c.hp link. Well he was going for the simpler
link most of the time. Sako train a lot on console so his exection was pretty solid as usual. The offline part
after is the real thing anyway well see who stand out. My prediction Sako, Daigo and Kazunoko top 3…not taking
to much of a risk…lol
with regards to daigo’s bad performance against Fuudo, I think it was mainly due to playing on xbl/psn as opposed to arcade. His timing was off. He missed his links (which he never usually misses) and he also traded DP a few times (what was that about), it seemed like he was executing them too early or using the wrong strength dp. If your playing online and you realise your missing links etc. it totally effects your head and you end up playing overly cautious and find it hard to play without getting pissed off.
Playing on a console without lag or at an arcade is supposed to be 2 completely different experience.Its not the first time we
see Daigo miss link because of the set up. When you realised your missing some link its really hard to keep total confidence.
The lag on the internet is really half execution and half mental, somebody who dosent get tilt can perform well online. I start playing
like a total scrub sometimes when I am pissed off.by lag 
Wating to see more of Daigo 2012, hope he pull some new trick out
of is bag.
