Arcadia Magazine has put together an interview with the legendary Daigo Umehara, which VersusCity has partially transcribed.• Talked to Iyo after playing Justin, and Iyo commented that even though Justin did not know Iyo’s playstyle, he did extremely well and never fell for Iyo’s tactics, and never did the same thing twice. Was impressed that he adapted so quickly in such a short amount of time.
• The interviewer asked if he thought it’d be hard to win against Justin, and Daigo comments that he was scared. He wasn’t thinking "I’m gonna take him out!" but "Let’s have a good fight." Justin took out two champions and had won his own championship, so there wasn’t that real ambitious attitude. He comments that Justin has a very tenacious and persistent play style, but he was able to defeat him easily, which is not what he expected when playing someone of Justin's caliber.
This is an interesting remark coming from Daigo, and may lend more credence to Justin's statement that he didn't want to tip his hand in the SFIV championships.
