Remember the Daigo Umehara interview by Eurogamer from a few days ago? Well, over on Capcom-Unity they got in some extra questions.What came across your minds during the final match against Justin?
First off, there was one thing concerned me at last EVO. In Japan, the arcade is the mainstream while the home console is the core in the US. As a matter of fact, I haven’t played much of it, and I had never played against home console characters before. So I was not prepared for console characters at all.
Luckily at EVO this summer, I didn’t run into any of the console characters. I was pretty lucky in that regard. But this time at Season’s Beatings, I met up with 3 players with console characters including Justin. I had had not played against any of the characters, so it was pretty challenging. I had to go about trying to get the feel of them while guessing their moves.
