Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012 JP stats: Daigo's Ryu dominates Yun and Fei Long

Posted by Nyoro — December 22, 2011 at 9:56 a.m. PST

Thanks to the continued assistance of Lynaken, more Japanese match stats have been rolling in from 2channel threads and Umesoku News. Both places have spectators that make notes of sets between players at Taito Shinjuku, an arcade where many tough players (including Daigo, of course) gather.

Daigo and Kazunoko have been fighting back and forth with each other since 2012 has been released and it doesn't look like either can gain a clear advantage over the other. When it comes to Yun and Fei Long though Daigo completely destroys them with his Ryu, pulling a convincing 5-1 win over EVO 2011 champion Fuudo and a 14-2 victory over FU*K YUN. He still has trouble fighting against Jyobin's Ryu, however; does this mean that Daigo struggles in mirror matches?

Fuudo looks comfortable in his matches against Shin (#4 ranked Juri) and Yaruo (#8 ranked Ryu) but can't seem to show the same control over Gacha Boy (#4 ranked Adon).

Daigo (Ryu) 11 – 11 Kazunoko (Seth)
Daigo (Ryu) 12 – 6 Nekojita (Abel)
Daigo (Ryu) 14 – 2 FU ★K Yun (Yun)
Daigo (Ryu) 5 – 1 Fuudo (Fei Long)
Daigo (Ryu) 2 – 7 Jyobin (Ryu)
Jyobin (Ryu) 6 – 1 Okkun (Ibuki)
Jyobin (Ryu) 3 – 1 Yaruo (Ryu)
Jyobin (Ryu) 2 – 0 Wanchan Taro (Makoto)
Kazunoko (Seth) 14 – 7 Yaruo (Ryu)
Kazunoko (Seth) 9 – 8 Gacha Boy (Adon)
Kazunoko (Seth) 4 – 4 Nyanshi (Sagat)
Kazunoko (Seth) 1 – 2 Okkun (Ibuki)
Kazunoko (Seth) 1 – 2 Akutagawa (Dudley)
Fuudo (Fei Long) 6 – 0 ☆Shin ☆ (Juri)
Fuudo (Fei Long) 8 – 3 Yaruo 3 (Ryu)
Fuudo (Fei Long) 5 – 6 Gacha Boy (Adon)

Fu*k Yun
What's up with that name?

soulthrow said on December 22, 2011 at 10:02 a.m.

Can't wait for Evo2k12/13/14/15! Version 2012 looks pretty much perfect ;D

GokaiGreen said on December 22, 2011 at 10:03 a.m.

@ 1 And it's all thanks to that Low Forward!
H8rs, u KNOW it's mainly because of that.

Armourx said on December 22, 2011 at 10:09 a.m.

@4- Most definitely Ryu's most effective normal, I think this version allows people to play who they actually like, instead of who they can dominate with, which is what quite a lot of people, have wanted from the beginning.

What's up with that stupidass name?

@#5
I am sure all the people that liked the Twins for example are all glad now.
There are also definitely no strong characters people will switch to, Ignore those Seth rumors.

BlankaBeast said on December 22, 2011 at 10:33 a.m.

This is the yr Valle Ryu > Daigo Ryu.

gtfopanda said on December 22, 2011 at 10:36 a.m.

Jyobin is on fire, Daigo can't beat him lol.

MODOKKK said on December 22, 2011 at 10:41 a.m.

#9 lol get real, valle is good but daigo is a god

#11

gaffel123 said on December 22, 2011 at 10:49 a.m.

@11 how is daigo a god when he got exposed by the most random ryu on xbl? Daigo vs valle was even back in super, it could go either way

#12

soulthrow said on December 22, 2011 at 10:54 a.m.

@12 Is Jyobin a random Ryu on xbl??? haha good one

How?

Valle's Character Loyalty will pay off now.

#16

gaffel123 said on December 22, 2011 at 11:24 a.m.

@13 i didnt say he is a random ryu, i said his ryu is random which means he just goes all out and does random stuff.

#17

aridarron said on December 22, 2011 at 11:26 a.m.

@3 mehh! It could use some more characters, maybe 6-8 more like elena, karin, alex, oro, rolento, hugo, charlie, birdie etc

I'm hoping to see a SSF4: 25th anniversary edition this time next year.

#18

Akro said on December 22, 2011 at 11:28 a.m.

Jyobin's been using Ryu in all of AE instead of using Yun so this isn't unexpected.

#19

foolly said on December 22, 2011 at 11:52 a.m.

Yaruo is not to be confused with ryu player Naruo who was recently at godsgarden

soulthrow said on December 22, 2011 at 12:52 p.m.

@18 For real pros XBL is just for practising new tactics/combos/mindgames.. You can see Poongko and Tokido switching characters all the time on XBL ... obviously they don't care about the points right? Everyone wants to IMPROVE! That's all... I'm pretty sure the same goes for Jyobin..XBL points mean nothing in front of real money prizes from tournaments.

#22

BrokenPad said on December 22, 2011 at 1:01 p.m.

Couldn't be any more dickriders here. I get he's good with Ryu, but you guys act like he's all you guys have in life. #1, #11 for example. Remember poongko read the sh!t out of your god and got perfected at evo. And isn't that where everybody says he try's hardest? Didn't even come top 3.

#23

BaroqueObama said on December 22, 2011 at 1:07 p.m.

@24
Poongko got perfected at Evo? Either you didn't watch Evo or just have terrible grammar.

Glad to see Daigo using Ryu again, but I think it's hilarious that he can't beat Jyobin.

#24

Xenos said on December 22, 2011 at 1:20 p.m.

@25
Before you insult anybody better check your reading and comprehension skills read what #24 wrote again.

while your at it read what #22 wrote too.

#25

nitrocan said on December 22, 2011 at 1:23 p.m.

@24 Daigo sure joined the top tier ride but don't you remember how awesome he was when Ryu was truly top tier? All those UmeShoryus(tm) would send cold shivers down my spine. I really wasn't looking forward all that much to the SSF4:AE finals of EVO 2011 because of all the Yuns and Feis and Vipers, that's why I was more excited about the MvC3 finals. But now, I'm already excited for what's gonna happen in the SSF4:AE2012 finals.

#26

Akro said on December 22, 2011 at 1:27 p.m.

@ 22, you do realize that says 1-7 in Jyobin's favor? Umehara lost to him last week.

Jyobin proving character dedication > Top Tier whoring.

okay said on December 22, 2011 at 2:02 p.m.

@ Xenos

BaroqueObama is right in that BrokenPad used poor grammar.
yamazaki is right about you not using "you're" in your 2nd sentence.

#32

Xenos said on December 22, 2011 at 2:12 p.m.

#33
Yes,he did use poor grammar but you can clearly understand what he meant read this "Remember poongko read the sh!t out of your god and got perfected at evo" i mean where did he say poongko got perfected he said "your god meaning daigo" lol

And no your is right,like i said google it.

#33

Tensa said on December 22, 2011 at 2:24 p.m.

for now jyobin>daigo>laugh>valle

#34

foolly said on December 22, 2011 at 2:25 p.m.

@ Akro .. no the white dots are the wins. daigo has 7 white dots. jyobin has lost 7-1 to daigo. u just have to understand how they write their scores.

#35

Freyzii said on December 22, 2011 at 2:30 p.m.

So happy I picked up Ryu again the day the 2012 patch came out. Doing pretty good too.

#36

Paine said on December 22, 2011 at 2:32 p.m.

Lol. Xenos you are wrong on both grammar points. The "and" implies PoongKO not Daigo and it is you're as in you are not possessive.

It would be "while you are at it" not "while your at it (you don't own at it).

OT: Yun got overnerfed. Glad Daigo is doing well with Ryu.

#37

Anon said on December 22, 2011 at 2:34 p.m.

lol at those who think Jyobin will prove to be the best Ryu in the long run. Yes, he has won a couple sets but Daigo isn't called The Beast for nothing.

He will train, adapt, and end up being the best since that is what he does. He is a pro gamer and completely dedicated to fighting games.

For those who haven't, check out Jyobin's replays from Ov3rheadGreg and YogaFlame24 on YT. His aggressive and seemingly random style can be pretty effective but that style isn't going to be winning him any consistent victories at tournaments.

#38

Anon said on December 22, 2011 at 2:45 p.m.

@34

You said "while your at it read what #22 wrote too."

That "your" is wrong and should be "you're." So facepalm yourself! But don't facepalm you'reself lol.

#39

Xenos said on December 22, 2011 at 2:53 p.m.

@38 and 34
LOL my bad i thought he was refering to the your in my first sentence.

@34
I already did after realising he meant the second one lmao.

#40

Raven said on December 22, 2011 at 3:29 p.m.

I remember reading a while back that Diago stated Ryu's changes were meaningless. I knew he was wrong back then. His corner escape seems viable now, a stronger DP, stronger fireball, and medium kick are what Ryu is all about!

I'm happy he's winning with Ryu again, Ryu is the character that is supposed to be able to back against anyone (the heart of battle). xD

#41

Xenos said on December 22, 2011 at 3:42 p.m.

I meant #40 not 34 lol i can't edit it.

OT:Damn kazu and daigo are always neck and neck,ive always wondered though if those two are friends because they always play each other and have the longest sets.

I have no idea how Daigo is losing to this cat. He must choke on mirror matches something crazy.

^ This times a million! I was just typing the same thing on youtube. Jyobin is a solid ryu and nothing more by Japanese and their lofty standards, of course!

I'm glad Daigo has returned to Ryu, order and balance has been restored in the world of Streetfighter. I swear, the way this guy plays it's almost as if Ryu was tailor made for Daigo and vice-versa, truly a match made in heaven!

Anyway does anyone know why the Ryu/Fei matchup is not looking as difficult as it used to be, any changes that have made it less painful for Ryu. Or is it Just the case of Daigo's Ryu matching up well against Fuudo's Fei- long? I'm curious, please do tell?

#45

spotlesseden said on December 22, 2011 at 6:52 p.m.

Daigo is not good at Ryu vs Ryu. you can even look at some of his Ryu mirror in SF4 or SSF4 days against other Japanese players. he almost lost to US Ryu in tournaments too.

#46

foolly said on December 23, 2011 at 3:03 a.m.

#47 not true. Daigo is great at Ryu mirrors. he completely drop ryu while others didnt. believe it or not, other than his ryu fundamentals, he wont just regain everything he had right away. it takes time. match ups aswell

#47

rashed786 said on December 23, 2011 at 3:05 a.m.

Jyobin has the opposite style of play to Daigo. Daigo plays defensive and pressures opponents with fireballs, Jyobin on the other hand plays rushdown and does random things. How can you read somebody who seems to have a random play style? I've always said, random play style with brilliant execution = scary opponent. Jyobin is being rewarded for sticking with ryu during AE, whereas Daigo needs to level up again after investing a huge amount of time playing Yun. Would love to see some of their matches tho. I think Daigo has probably told the locals at the arcade not to record any of his matches as it gives away tricks and techniques, otherwise we'd be seeing a tonne of vids as he's the most popular SF player.

#48

Temtt said on December 23, 2011 at 3:32 a.m.

@47

Bullsh*t! Daigo won all the important mirror matches back in Super (Valle, Air, Choi, Fuudo...)!

#49

triplethreat99 said on December 23, 2011 at 10:09 a.m.

Daigo also lost grand finals to Fuudo about 2 years ago in a European Tournament, and Fuudo was using Ryu. Either way, I dont think that this will last. Daigo will be raping this guy, just give it some time.

P.S to the guy that said poongko read Daigo, youre right, but dont forget that Daigo raped Poongko TWICE after evo.
