Nagoya Street Battle 13 Daigo Umehara videos

Poor Rog at the last round :(

Awesome matches.

Damn that Sagat match was awesome.

Wow, these matches really show off Daigo's ability to focus on the win no matter what. The mental concentration and the will power he shows in these matches is almost palpable.
He knows when to go all out and when to rein it in. Really good play.

Much better quality versions over on LordAborigineSF4's channel

I never get tired of watching Daigo in action. His zoning, strategy, pressure game, reaction speed, and perfect timing is amazing.

Never seen Daigo win on Timeout before.

@MAXIMUM

I remember one time when Daigo lost to a Blanka on Time Over, he got really annoyed and just came back and destroyed the guy.

That combo on Rufus is amazing.

Daigo is on another planet when it comes to this game. So damn good.

It's one thing to pull sh*t like this in training.. another to pull it in a real match... and even another to pull it off against high caliber players like these.

Jesus Christ what an epic finish vs Sagat!!!

Come SSF4, that match is gonna end a whoooole lot quicker.

Mago will definitely be switching to Tiger Cannon. Confirm off an EX Fireball, and he would have beaten Diago if he could have done that.

Ahaha Mago and you thought you won didnt you? Thats why DAIGO is first!

The Balrog vs Ryu Match @ 1:07 was a nice anticipation by Daigo. He probably knew that Boxer's only option left is to jump or do ultra. the former proved true and if the latter one happen then Daigo would have just blocked it and after that finish him off.

Haha poor Sagat, busted by sucky auto-correction moment.
But Daigo really deserved the win, outstanding control of the match, despite such a Sagat.

wow, I think that's the only time I've ever seen Daigo drop an FADC Ultra...Can't imagine he did that on purpose.

man these vids are old, SRK is so behind.....

The concentration that this guy takes in every single match is amazing... :O

Can't wait to see Daigo in action when SSFIV is release.

@18

ur right jwh8808

Regardless if your a Daigo fan or not, theres no denying that watching him in action teaches you a few things you might of never thought of on your own. He has made many players, including myself, at least a little bit better.

amazing combo on rufus there.

Wasnt Mago the #1 in Japan?

I guess now Dago just took his crown.

I'd really like to see Daigo unlock the potential of Guy in SSFIV. Or at least use the UC2 with Ryu.

Daigo is still FREE vs Rose.

dude these matches really old , its been more then month since they post them in YouTube

rapes lol.

Momo ftw.

i wonder if daigo will do good against all the new characters in ssf4 ........will he still own? i wonder?

@23

Mago is the top in terms of battle points, doesn't mean he's the best #1 at Street Fighter--that probably is Daigo. Daigo is still 200k BP behind Mago. That just means Mago plays more than Daigo, that along with the fact that is is probably 2nd best ever.

*the first "is" in that last sentence is supposed to be "he."

I love how the rog player uses the time to his advantage forcing Daigo to whip his anus.

Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Sagat!
Sagat who?

Sagatalotoftigerfires

ryu needs a temporary "evil ryu mode" to combat sagats angry scar

That'd be cool actually-maybe timed like Makoto's SA3...at least let you teleport and shoot air fireballs..

So many Sagats T_T. So explain to me the logic of Capcom giving him another move, while *nobody* else got one? Who in their right mind would give the most powerful character *another* tool, when there are so many other weaker characters?

maybe if ryu wasnt 2 steps away from sagat i would be impressed. But o well. Would be nice to see him use someone else in super 4 but i doubt it, and dont act like he only uses ryu, u can get clips of him useing balrog in turbo.

2nd lordaboriginesf4 youtube page, there is a daigo v momochi and it is epic

Mago got robbed that last round lol GO DAIGO!!!

@23

Daigo has beaten Mago before, the reverse is true as well. Daigo is number 1 in w/S %, Mago is number 1 in battle points.

I can't really say who's better, Daigo wins more % of the time, but they are both on such a ridiculously high class of skill I like to consider them about equal

@6 Your whole upon these fights were sheer bliss for me, you sir have made my day thnx XD.

Good Matches. Nice Combos by both Ryu and Rufus. Tough Loss for Boxer.

lol. Did yall see the amount of safe jumps there were? Rufus had no chance. This is why combos into sweep are lame. Safe jump off throw is one thing, but from a hit confrim into sweep? Come on now.

@34 If you only look at one small part of the whole picture, then sure, it seems unreasonable. But when you consider than when he uses this special move, which costs several frames and bar, that his uppercut will do as much damage as it does now in vanilla SFIV, it doesn't seem all that bad. His uppercut was nerfed pretty hard, along with most other ones, and he's had several damage nerfs.

Wow, I didn't think I'd ever see Daigo mess up a FADC.

lol yet he still isnt able to win a single proper japanese title tourney title.

@ #43 well these are old matches so it's normal to me to see him mess up on something like that...we all do from time to time.....does were really good matches though i must say...i was wondering where that rufus vid was on youtube and here it's posted before me...funny how things work out at times.....

yeah so awesome, yet all they did were fireballs....lame

This is pretty old. If anyone wants to see any of Daigo's videos go to his personal website. These videos were up for a while on there. Look it up through eventhubs

Old or new-I definitely haven't watched them enough.

Now I know to FA, HP, EX-Tatsu into Ultra against my friends. :-)

Rufus as well as Hakan are garbage.

@steam
You mad that they're so powerful?

@52
....beat him them.....you personally beat him, show your better then him, show your tactics are on or above his level

and saying "well I can't get into SBO" ain't going to cut it

First video was awesome. Second video was 4 minutes of "tigershot". Third video was pretty hadouken heavy but still awesome.

I know people say spamming fireballs is part of the game (And it is), but it's boring as hell to watch.

I doubt Daigo will do well in Super Street Fighter 4 considering Ryu got the nerfed the most severely out of all the cast.

Bannainsaneface you know he switches between Ryu and Ken(he might even main another character in super) depending on who he feels is better

these players got beaten by Ryu not Daigo.

Okay haters, there's a difference between playing to win and playing for show. Obviously Daigo plays to win because he as a reputation to uphold.

Spamming hadoukens is good for zoning and baiting, it's an effective tactic that helps one 'win', go figure.

If you find it boring to watch, then go watch some Spongebob or switch to Tekken because no one is going to risk their game just to be entertaining for the likes of you.

blah blah blah blah daigo is the best ever sf player its been proven and proven again hes the fckin man

Wow Daigo was amazing in the first video

i hear that daigo is going to main Guy in SSF4 anybody confirm that!?, also daigo seems to have more a international rep cause in japan he's not considered the best

what a beast daigo is!

Daigo uses fireballs very effectively. In the match against Momochi, it's obvious to see that Daigo knows, with Akuma/Goukis aerial tools, he can't zone him as well as most characters.

I prefer watching daigo over any featured length film on redtube

lol Balrog could've won the first round if he used headbutt and the second round was just luck lol oh well the mago fight I felt that he got robbed but whatev's lol I love to see sagat lose. Diago is still beast lol.
