Why didn't Daigo play Ryu in 3rd Strike?

…because i think sfxt is better than 3s

man i dont like 3s very much tbh but even i know that stating something like that is like saying that dog shit tastes better than a hamburger

If you’re talking about the parry into combo itself, it definitely could have happened with Ryu…in fact he’d get MORE damage output and possibly wouldn’t have required a stocked bar.

I mean it can’t really be helped, but I’m so sick of people talking about the Daigo parry when it comes to 3S. There have been much better occasions of this moment happening from better players, and even in Evo2004 itself there were some more memorable moments, like pretty much any KO vs Daigo match, and even Justin vs Raoh and Justin vs Kokujin(which always get overshadowed by Daigo/Justin, which sucks because those were arguably some of the biggest upsets in 3S history).

For real… my favorite thing about that match was Daigo moved on and just got BLASTED by K.O hahahahah

Daigo played Ryu in A3 and he was mid tier in that game so why wouldnt he play him in 3rd strike instead of tier whoring to Ken? Personally I think Ryu can be won in tournament espically if daigos playing him.

so what do you think of JPN.

i think スパイス is my fav track on the album.

It’s not bad, but GAME will always be my favorite album. If the Lovefool cover was in JPN though, it’d instantly be my favorite.

I’m aware Daigo played Akuma but apparently valle made him switch to Ryu.
