Finally, some battle logs. I'm about to die for not knowing.

Looks like all that training Fuudo has put in against other top Ryu's has finally paid off. All the gachis were showing him beating the crap out of every Ryu but always losing to Daigo's in a set.

hahaha wtf Daigo?

Dat character variety

Daigo = fraud

Fuudo confirmed to be a sandbagger in casuals if he wins the tourney?

That last match between Kazunoko vs Momochi was so intense!

Hopefully someone is video capturing this, because I am poor and near a computer :-/

I'm meant NOT near

Already getting epic, Fuudo beating Daigo :)
This will be the first high-level AE2012 tourney which will give us a look at the new powers that may be

Remaining matches for tonight.

Sako is looking pretty amazing right now!

＠temtt
You paid money?

Go Haitani!

if you pay for the event can you watch the archive later after the stream?? im willing to pay to watch but im work rite now so i'll be missing some matches so i just want to know if i pay will there be an archive to watch later???

@15

Yes, I bought the full package of 12 episodes.

You should go to your Nico acc and check your points there, to make sure they registered your payment for the tickets or something.

no you didn't pay for it... the free stream ended just before momochi vs kazunoko.

Here can find the match report:
http://tokido77.blogspot.com/2012/01/...

Fuudo vs Daigo is already on Youtube.

@20

I paid 3500 Yen, the full package.

@SAMURAI
Really? I can't find it.

where on youtube samurai?

Ov3rheadGreg just uploaded Daigo vs Fuudo

Ov3rheadGreg uploaded it

daigo loses 1 in a hard match up againt an evo champ and people say he's a fraud? like to see them do better.

Go on Tokido!

Fuudo destroys alot of people in tournies with his godlike adapting abilities. Watch him vs Dieminion that sh it is free

Its all about that taunt ha

@31

Tokido vs Kindevu? Yea, that was epic! lol

Guys I have a offtopic question.
I just played with Guile vs a Makoto player. Green bar, first round I took half his life pretty fast. And suddenly it became laggy as hell, I couldn't do anything anymore and he was kicking my ass and I lost.
After the "fight" there was still a green bar.

Is that a lag switch or what?
Of course I kicked him, I refuse to play against a fraud like that.

Holy sh- Fuudo on a spree.
3-0'd The Beast and defeated Mago in a Fei mirror?!
EVO/GG4 champion is back in full form?
Can't wait for more of these matches.

Daigo played really badly, but the 1st and 3rd match could've gone to him.

Still got another match vs Haitaini. Let's go the beast.

Where do you actually purchase the ticket? I got 1000 points charges posted to my nico account as well) but it only shows some screen saying topanga on it... How do I spend the points?

Holy shiit, just watched Daigo Fuudo on the Ov3rheadGreg channel, please avoid if you dislike scenes of sexual violence.

DAMN!!!

NO wonder Daigo has been keeping dat ae2012 ryu under wraps, he's discovered some MAD CRAZY new tech!! Did you know that crMK can be comboed into fireball? Is this known?!?!

Also, HP shoryus are now safe on block apparently, although Fuudo was stil managing to punish them...

Daigo will win this thing. this is different than American tournaments. 1 lose means nothing right now.

Nevermind got it, I kept trying to purchase one ticket for the twelve round instead of just one for one. FInallly!!

@33 That is random lag which could of been caused by anything. It doesn't mean he caused it himself, it could be someone downloading something on either players internet or the providers themselves. Lagswitches cut the connection, not limit it. I would know, I was a GoW 1 glitcher. I hate it when people assume it's a lagswitch yet they don't realise they don't work on games unless the person using it is the host and players directly connect to them.
tl:dr Lagswitches don't work on SF and they don't create lag, but freezes the game for the person it's done too.

FUUDO KAZUNOKO OR DAIGO WIll WIN
daigo umeharaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!oneone1

Lets GO kindevu, you can do eet!!!

man i would love to see sako ibuki wrecking house

Am i the only one rootin' for Uryo???

@#32

Yeah m8 :)

Uryo vs Kindevu hell yea. Pissed I missed all the Sako matches though. Hopefully they have 24 hour archives

@44 i doubt youre the only one who likes Sakura and more specifically Uryo's Sakura.

how is Uryo losing, FML.

Daigo won. Balance is restored.

I can understand why daigo's not been playing online to avoid being filmed

cuz he played like crap

he can't even land a link after solar plexus

I think daigo is after that 5 cents

actually its 6 cents

Step it up Momochi... you got this!

The last set of Daigo and Haitani seems to went by really quick. I refreshed for like 50 sec and Daigo already won. What happened?

#30 where are the matches vs Dieminion?

Seems like every match was close except Kindevu vs Uryo match. All the players are just so strong that it could go either way.

Also, if you reupload the matches to YouTube, UltraDavid is going to find you. Yeah, he'll find you.

@onostolemybike that's why daigo is beating everybody at the arcades? get a clue dude

So three people played 1 match
Eight people played 2 matches
One person played 3 matches

Why isn't it more even?

@56

Don't bother with him. He's just trolling, although I think I could troll better than him :).

Tokido will need to step up his game. 4 matches for him tomorrow night!

Fei Long is so cheap should be removed form the game :/

@57

This tournament will run for 10 days. More than enough time for everyone to play against each other.

Does anyone know if there are any archives?
I missed the Kazunoko vs Momochi match.

@61 I would hate to be that person.

@56

O rly?

got any videos to prove those matches happened in the arcade?

Nope, you don't. Just a bunch of fanboys making up crap.

No video = it didn't happen.

I think Daigo couldn't handle not being able to connect solarplex into crouching fierce into dp, and got severely punished for it in the fuudo match. Wish I could see all the other matches though.

"No video = it didn't happen"

Hahahaha imagine if we based everything on that silly logic :E

@#65
You do remember people play with their cards and it tracks things, right?
But I guess Daigo fanboys hack in the databanks and change the data, so it does not count.
Moron

how come fuudo is not sponsored? Hori opportunity here!!!

@ 69

Indeed, it's crazy that someone like Fuudo is not sponsored but Noah is.

LOL@#65

@68

okay then

show me this arcade card data, I'm waiting...

oh wait, you don't have it, nobody has it, because its all BS

No evidence, no videos, no data = did not happen

Daigo played like an absolute scrub against Fuudo, so bad that if you removed the name daigo from the video people would have just assumed it was any random online scrub playing fuudo instead. How many times did he screw up the solar plexus link? How many times did he wake up DP and get punished by backdash? I lost count.

Maybe daigo's spending too much time having his joystick sucked in the madcatz booth to remember how to play properly. He hasn't been in america since evo, that says a lot.

@67

silly logic winston?

you sound like the sort of person who would be happy to criminally convinct someone for murder with no evidence.

I could go online right now, create a website and just post a load of scores of daigo playing random top japanese players, make them up and have gullible people believe every word of it.

Call me old fashioned, but I believe in evidence, not hearsay.

I hate Kazunoko

@#72
People post winrates and BP weekly, for starters.
If all those matches he won did not happen or he lost them, it would not add up with the data.

And yes, a silly couch warrior with a grudge could make a website with the sole purpose to spread false info, but that would be silly and not help with anything.

It's not like you need to lie about Daigo to know he is an incredibly strong and consistent player for the last 15 years.
You can live in denial all you want, it is hella amusing for the rest.
Moron.

This tournament is no mind blowing. Almost, and I do mean almost, makes me regret not buying the whole 12 episodes.

*so not no.

I'm sad about Haitani not beating Daigo, but I so badly want to see his Makoto play. Insane character variety.

@onostolemybike man, you're incredibly stupid, stop embarrassing yourself.

@78

yes, shame on me for wanting some actual evidence of these so called arcade matches. Of course, a blind, dumbass daigo dick sucking fanboy like yourself is more than happy to lap up any pro daigo BS thrown in your general direction whether it's true or not. Lap it up son, lap it up.

One thing you won't be lapping up though is that match against fuudo because damn... daigo was bad.

#77
Technically, not much different than Godsgarden, but it's still great to see.

@73

Lol Maybe this statement could've held true, save for the part where you have NO credit at all, these arn't some random dudes posting the scores, it's people like Zhi, Hsien Chang, and Fubarduck. Now, if you can give me a logical reason to how lying about some scores benefits them in anyway, maybe I could believe you.

Also, you know what my evidence for Daigo winning is? Evo champ 2 years in a row. You're gonna tell me a guy who went undefeated 2 years in 2 1000 men tournaments isn't gonna win alot of matches?

What happen to you guys tier lists? They are constantly changing because they are NOT TRUE. Tier lists are always changing because it is false. What IS true is that you can win with ANY character in here based on the player.

@#82
Tier lists are about how characters compare to each other.
Characters have specific tools and these dictate match-ups.
Saying they are not true is retarded.
The reason they change is because people discover more and mroe about a game.

And yes, big pearl of wisdom there, who would have thought that the most important part is the actual player.

I sometimes wonder why I even read the comments

@81

and how do you know these guys can even keep count during the sets? Personally, I couldn't give a toss what fubarduck or hsien chang saw, if they can't record it and show the world then I don't give a crap.

daigo was evo champ 2 years in a row, okay, so? Plus I'll ignore the fact that there were hardly any other top japanese players there during the years he won it. I'll also ignore the fact that daigo never wins any significant japanese tourney like sbo or godsgarden.

That's in the past, I don't care about the past, I care about the present. Daigo is a shadow of what he was, the beast went on a tier whoring crusade with yun, failed miserably now returns to what looks like a very rusty, washed up ryu. I'm not impressed.

@konachan
if you want to talk about embarrassing, lets talk about daigo's performance against fuudo first.

So much trolling here :).

Daigo played well against Fuudo. Didn't look scrubby at all. Actually he looked very strong.

Game #1, he gets hit by random wakeup Ultra vs cr.MP, it was full ultra because he was winning by a lot. But he was out playing Fuudo by quite a bit.

Game #2, he misses SPS link, gets hit with full ultra because he was winning by a lot. Second round, drops SPS again! In both links he missed by pressing the cr.HP early.

Game #3, misses SPS link (the DP this time) again. Overall he gets outplayed in the game.

Bottom line: Daigo is still better than you. And will still be very good. Saying he looks like a scrub is pretty funny and just show what an idiot you are.

onostolemybike: There is an english word for people like you - I-D-I-O-T. <- sound it out.

Daigo failed miserably with Yun? He was top 8 in EVERY SINGLE TOURNAMENT he entered. Of the three US tournaments he entered he WON twice and came 4th. You call that failing?

IDIOT. You are a complete IDIOT.

@85

"So much trolling here :).

Daigo played well against Fuudo."

Okay dude you're trolling, how can you say he played well againt fuudo

"Bottom line: Daigo is still better than you"

Bottom line I don't play this game 9 hours a day and neither does most the people here, because I prioritize more important things in life than a mediocre incarnation of street fighter.

@86

oh you mean those 2 american tournies daigo won when AE had been out a mere 6 days on console?

yeah, that was big of daigo. Beating up americans with his 6+ month experience of yun against their 6 days of experience with AE. I'm sure 90% of the american players at that tourney had no idea how to deal with yun.

So yeah, big round of applause for daigo for taking advantage of his massive head start. Whoope fookin doo

@#83:Tier lists being NOT tru is the truth because if they were THEY WOULD NOT CHANGE. They would not be subject to change. Do you understand this simple concept? For example, you don't have Seth rank low tier then all of a sudden since Poongko did well with him BUMP him up the charts, no because the character did not do that and there was nothing new that we found out about that character it was the player's intuition ans skill that got it done. Regardless of the character.

@89 going by your logic I hope someone discovers Dan. i believe he is top 10 in this game

where was this stream? was it on twitch or nico?

@#89
Yes, he only came 4th at evo and 3d at SBO. Let's ignore other tourneys he won in Japan as well, or other majors around the world. Or an 82% win rate in Arcades where many other top plays played and rotating 1st/2nd with Kazunoko. And for a version of SF you do not care, you sure waste a lot of time with things concerning it.
And if had you any good reasoning to discredit their reports besides 'I do not believe it wah, wah', you would have presented it.
Did he rape you or something? Cause unless it's personal, I cannot fathom how someone could be that stupid

@#89
Now, the other idiot.
Players make the tier lists based on their CURRENT KNOWLEDGE.
Unless they have PERFECT knowledge about all the characters, all 1521 match-ups and everything that can be done with this engine, the tier list will change.
The PLAYERS determine how the game is played and what works, and tier lists are a reflection of that given moment.
That does not make them false. And since they talk about characters, they do not take into account the human, factor, aka the player. If good players do not play some characters for some time, misconceptions can happen

Fighting games evolve like that. If you want to oversimplify everything and ignore what the tier lists represent and how the games are played, then yeah, I guess tier lists can never be 100% correct.

@92

82% win ratio? Is that all, I thought he was 'THE BEAST'. Shouldn't beating him be like a rare thing? He loses way too much for someone sooooo overhyped.

Actually his win ratio is under 80%, but you're a bit infatuated with him I think, so I'll let you of.

Everybody knows sakonoko is more talented than daigo, the only difference is sako doesn't play 9 hours a day and doesn't whore out boring over-used generic snore fest characters like ryu. Oh ryu... so original, never see people playing ryu or anything.

@#93
Up until 2012 rolled about when he used yun.
Less than 10 people in all of japan had better win ratios (Michael Tan was first with 85).
It's interesting that you think winning 80% of 9000 matches is not good, but hey.

At least you make it obvious with each comment you post that you are trying too hard.

@94

oh and why was he using yun? Can you say tier whoring?

And where is his yun now? In the trash, dropped like the tier whore he is.

win ratios mean nothing to me, it depends who he played. 90% of those matches could have been against sub-standard players. Chances are it was, because you wouldn't get an 80% win ratio if you only played sakonoko.

bit like justin wong's 300 consecutive win record, who did he play again? yeah... say no more.

@84

Your argument makes so little sense it's not even funny. First you go and question if these guys can even count or not..seriously? Next you expect them to record, when it's not allowed at the arcade? Yeah they're totally gonna risk getting kicked out for your pleasure.

Evo is kinda a big deal, meaning winning 2 years in a row isn't just 'so?'. Nice logic, no japanese players = easy tournament, and you say other people are dickriding? And if this holds true, where were all the japanese top players that came out to EVO 2K11? ELIMINATED. By american players no less.

Now, can you explain to me how his Yun failed? I'd say his win ratio is about 95% with his Yun soo..No failing there. Also you're gonna call him a rusty washed up Ryu based on 1 match? Hahaha wait atleast till the tourney is over so you don't eat your words too much if he does end up winning.

Whatever, you're probably gonna come up with something dumb to this like 'I DUNT GIVE A F*CK I ONLY TRUST EVIDENCE, SCREW LOGICAL SENSE' You what there is evidence towards though? The people on this website hate you, but I guess you don't give a f*ck bout that either. Anyways I'm done say anything you want.

^#92: 1st of all I gave Poongko praise for using a supposedley LOW tier Seth [ranked by the so called top players]who is supposedley not "tournament viable." Yet guess what Poongko goes on and RAPES with Seth even won the Shadowloo tournament and places well at Evo with low tier. But then he jumps up the Tier charts, why you ask BECAUSE he was winning with the low tier character. Has nothing to do with NEW information, lol what a load of crap.

Can't wait till some no name wins a tournament or places well with Dan. Then he will be high tier, lololol.

Oops just read his win ratio is lower, oh well still amazing, atleast I can admit when I'm wrong.

Daigo is a very strong player but excuse me..

LETS GO SAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@96

you're done? you give up easy!

I thought you daigo fanboys were a hardened bunch, I guess not.

lots of japanese players have won american tournies so I don't really care if daigo has won some, that doesn't make him stand out,

nor does losing 4 out of 5 first to ten matches in godsgarden2. daigo's overhyped bs at its finest
