Daigo Umehara plays through Street Fighter X Tekken tutorial mode

special treatment for pro players as always

Win some tourneys, then we'll talk.

My japanese isnt the best, but it said something along the lines of him saying "This game is generally superior to MVC3" I cant make out the rest, but im pretty sure he made fun of MVC2 being a cult game...

Dude daigo seems a bit beefed up, seems he is really droping by the gym after all, now i wonder if hes going to be a dominat force on this game too...

@2

You win some tournaments, maybe someone will listen.

I heard them mention "Vampire" at a few points. Were they talking about the combo system?

....Did I just see alpha counters??

i bet they gave him a free copy after the recording. he is probably training at home right now.

and not a word was understood that day

Yo Daigo looks so young, he is 30 years old.

It's cool to see Daigo so dedicated to brining arcades and video games to the fore-front of entertainment and hey, if he makes some cash off it more power to him. More on topic it looks like the tut gives good building blocks for playing in the SxT engine which is awesome! But I would love it if capcom made a tutorial based around the aspects of 2d fighting games as a whole and then launched into the games unique parts and what not. Oh well one can dream...or buy skullgirls :p

Interesting

Could anyone sound any more idiotic than #2? Wait for it...............

in fact, yes WinstonChurchill, and that would be gaigoov3rrated, just wait for the comment complaining about Daigo and the whole team MADCATZ and stupid things, just wait

How the hell can Diago be 30?!

Daigo doesn't really say much. He isn't given much of a choice anyways. It's just the producer telling him what to do. They brought in Daigo just for viewers, not to get his opinion.

inb4pplwhosuddenlylovethegamebcofdaigo.

if you all were not trying to flame people all day you'd realize #2 was talking about #1 saying if he won some tourneys he'd (comment #1)would get special treatment as well...

still waiting on Guy and Cody capcom...

@#18

If that was the case then I apologise to #2

@ people amazed at Diago being almost 30. Thats asian genetics for you. Asian does not age as fast as Americans.

I like that Dan remix.

Wonder why people always generalize Asians as nice people? Your attitude effects the way you age. If you are always worried or stressed, you age quicker. Compare the typical American to the typical Asian. The Americans lifestlye will seem to be more stressed compared to the Asian. Sure modern science may say that enzyme reaction is the reason why people age..but its the attitude that influence the humans internal body reaction.

Simple. Live a positive lifestyle and you live and look younger. Live a lifestyle like #2 and you'll age quicker.

In the medical field if anyone is wondering lol.

Lmao. I have seen information concerning enzyme reactions, but none of this attitude business. I rather stick to real science. Also you must not know a lot of Japanese people, or any really, because life in Japan can be stressful very early for example exams to transition into high school. Most people in the U.S can't really say they ruined their future at the age of 14.

#18

Thank you for understanding.

#19

No problem.

#24. Compare a person with high stress to a person with little to no stress. Guarantee the person with little stress will live longer. Theres studies on it; feel free to look it up. ..In fact I'll put my money on it. So yes attitude will affect your longevity.

@22/23

While I agree with your main point, a typical American isn't any more stressed than typical Asians. Look at the lifestyle in Japan for example with high suicide rates, cramped atmosphere and the amount of global depression from strict work conditions and high standards.

#27, while that is true, the percentage of stress is less with the japanese people compared to the americans by population.

key word here is 'by population'.

To expand on this..if you think Japan suicide rate is high...the suicide rate in US is higher. They may have more poverty rate but that does not equate to stress. They live fair or below fair but they surely have less stress compared to the american population. Sht, we have americans here who live great yet they stress more than the average person.

Anabolichris, stop putting Japanese people on a pedestal. If we're talking about suicide rates or things like that. Japan is amongst the highest along with U.S. and other "modern" societies. The more advanced the society the more prone it is to stress.

This also applies for countries in poverty.

Look at the article with Tokido...someone was surprised at how "Friendly" tokido looked. I was amazed at that comment because that tells about a person generalizing about the "Pro's," saying that most "pros" are not friendly. Well since we reside in the states, then I can conclude that, that person was referring and comparing tokido to the state side pros.

The more advance a society is then the more it should know not to stress, #30.

People are too concerned about other things when they should be concerned about more important things. Thats what "poverty" in 3rd world countries teaches people

"First world problem: Dirty laundry"

dude seriously? people age more because of stress? talk about urban legends.... o_O

people age faster because of the amount of food intake and because of damaging influences like (uv)radiation etc.

I don't know where you got your info mate or actually I probably do, you heard some scientific research but you do not know the full implications of it. does stress influence bodily functions, yes, is it in such a way that it significantly influences the aging process.....no way mate

anyway OT: i'm realy wondering what daigo actually thinks about sfxt and if he thinks it will surpass sf4 as the main fighting game. hope he will give his honest view on the game soon

meh.. i was expecting more

Daigo did only c.mk fireball.. didn't even do a Cross Rush properly. you can't do C.LK, C.MK, C.HK into launcher cause the C.HK knocks down. doh!

Daigo is clearly IMMORTAL.

Look up SFA3 Daigo vs Alex Valle. Daigo looks exactly the same age now as he did more than a decade ago, meanwhile Valle has turned into an old man.

Of course if you try to talk him into revealing his secret he'll have to take your head.

This game, SFXT, appeals to me as much as getting a severe dose of the flu! And I hate getting the flu!

He will main Ryu/Ken team as he always chooses the most boring chars.

Some translation, not sure if correct :P
=====
from 11 min to the end

Q-do you think it's faster than sf4?
A-yeah,in fact, the attack and confirmation, the reading are faster than sf4

Q-so, you're using ryu, what about other character?
A-some close combat fighters like zangief, the faster the better

Q-so what do you think about the game?
A-it's sure a capcom-base 2d fighting game, and some old system some new system
i think it'll be a good game, but i can't give more comment since i do not play that much

Q-about the tag mode? feel something different from sf4?
A-not experinced this kind of fight, you have to consider many aspects, the switching, the attack, etc

Q-gem system?
A-the time to activate is important, and differs from characters
Q-so we both use ryu, but different gem setting, the game will be very different?
A-yeah

@ 13:59 of the video the guy asks Daigo what he thinks of UMVC3 compared to SFxT and Daigo replies "lulz, people still play umvc3?"

That low forward fireball is a plenty effective here. Time will tell if Daigo will develop flashier combos.

But if people get blown up still by the tried and true low forward -> fireball, they can't really complain, can they?

It's another game targeted at the American audience. They love their nonsense fighters over there. Hell, they'll somehow make a big tournament scene over there revolving around this game.

This is the run down. Qualifiers will take place in the U.S.A. with the chance of appearing in the grand finals in Thailand. All of the usual "TOP" American players appear, minus Mike Ross who is on location at Gootecks' flat filming another episode of 'Excellent Adventures'.

Latif wins the whole tournament but states that he can't go to Thailand because he's got other, more important things to do. They then pass the task on to the runner up. He won't go because he can't get time off of work! The next 30 people can't go for various reasons ranging from not having a valid passport, to suffering from agoraphobia.

The end result - Mike ROSS ends up going, even though he didn't appear in the tournament. Gootecks and Mike Ross fly off to Thailand and film another web episode of Cross Counter, guest starring, Bob Venom, better known as Li Chi hung, a fisherman from Thailand who passes his time beating the local competition in fighting games in the Thai scene.

It's in the genetics. Asian people don't age fast, same as black people. Daigo says he is 30 but he looks like he is 25. Compare these 3 actors Tom Cruise 40's, Jackie Chan 50's and Denzel Washington 40's. Tom Cruise is the youngest but he looks a lot older than the other two. Poor white people

Remix of Dans theme in the tutorial? Good move, Capcom. You aren't so bad after all.

#46

Unpopular with Americans but, don't drink.

@46

Your list is correct. But you are missing one important FACT!

Asian and African skin has a larger content of oil in their skin. This is why Caucasian skin wrinkles (ages) faster.

This is the one factor that has NOTHING to do with personal habits. And a Major factor in why as a rule Asians and Africans appear younger than Caucasians.

That's not to say that ALL white people look "old" or "older". There are exceptions to every rule.

@#34
really? I thought againg was cause of nano machines.

There's always plastic surgery :).

Haha shout outs to mgs4

@50 Lmao haha nice 1. I remembered that from MGS.

Sorry..out of topic question! It's friday and i can't see any Topanga news :(

The irony to all of this bickering about age/race/looking young is that culturally in Asia, people like to look OLDER than they are. They aren't obsessed with trying to look 25 when they're in their 30s, that's much more of a Western phenomenon. It is considered an insult rather than a compliment to say they look younger than their actual age.

@#54

The next stage beings on the 10th Feb I think :)

begins*

man daigo never says his true thoughts out of japanese politeness. He said SF4 was boring to nuki the first time he played it. And he had some kind of smirk at the end of the video. Wonder what his true thoughts are on this game..

@56 tell that to the next asian woman you see.

#57 Oh yeah.. that means they will skip this weekend..! Thanks man I appreciate it! ;)

@55

Loool, Hakans looking pretty buff for an older guy with that many kids! Obviously that wife of his is keeping him in shape:) ya know lol.

@62

Lmao so true.

Daigo is the Beast Umehara son!!

#1 yea really, he gets to check it out early, for a hightly competitive scene, thats not good!

@nebbiez: "The irony to all of this bickering about age/race/looking young is that culturally in Asia, people like to look OLDER than they are.

For Japanese women, what you just said is almost the complete opposite of the truth. There are Japanese women in their thirties wearing schoolgirl outfits and pigtails and keeping teddy bears on the bed because the marriageable men have their heads turned by seventh-graders doing compensated dating. It's gross, but it's true.

daigo is such a low forward troll lol.
daigo says:"yo america, keep the cash rolling b*tch"

@1 what would be the point of getting some random guy? i think this is pretty cool because we get to see the beast do some trails.

Wow way to stay in topic, I don't like that the damage scaling is so drastic. One heavy attack is almost identical damage to a 8 hit combo.....huh? Oh yeah for the casual players I guess.

Watch closely at @10:57 mark,

that classic Daigo combo here!

if you think asians are less stressed than americans, you are wrong

asians look about 18 until they're 35 or so, and then they'll instantly look like theyre 60. asian women definitely do NOT age as well as white/european women

if you think tom cruise looks older than jackie chan, you are crazy

this game still sucks

re: this game being a bullshjt game being aimed towards americans, maybe. but many of you forget cfj (another bullshjt game) was somewhat popular in japan

I owe #2 an apology. Sorry, I misunderstood your post.

Daigo's getting paid to play and he still looks bored.

its good to notice that at 11:03, ryu is completely invincible during the tag out.

Youtube translation tool work like a charm

I'd help translate but I've only been taking Japanese for half a semester =/

Bloddy shame how many haters he have even after doing so much for the gaming community,,

ok too many idiotic comments for me to read them all. are you guys really debating the topic of how ethnicity attitude or economic status affects the impact of aging on ones appearance? shut up. talk about the game. cant wait for march 6th. gonna be sick
