DAIGO: The STRUGGLE of legacy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Known as ‘The Beast’, Daigo is widely considered the greatest player of all time in the Street Fighter franchise. He holds the record for the most major tournaments won, and has claimed the coveted EVO crown six times across multiple titles
Daigo’s accolades are so great, his name has transcended Street Fighter to make him one of the most legendary figures in competitive gaming, an icon of excellence that players in any game can aspire to.
His success allowed him to become Japan’s first professional gamer, blazing a trail not only for fighting games, but for all aspiring players in the fledgling industry of competitive gaming.
Now 38 years old, Daigo is still raising the bar for pro gamers, proving that it’s possible to compete at the highest level well beyond the point at which many would be looking at retirement.
We followed Daigo through his campaign at the Capcom Cup, where he was faced with adapting his classic strengths to a new meta that favors different characters. The old legend still has some new tricks up his sleeve, but after more than a decade of professional play, some of his toughest challenges may yet lie ahead.

Forever a legend. He was never the most talented player and that makes his success all the more impressive.
He's been working so hard at it for so many years.
The moment vs Justin Wong might be the greatest moment in competitive gaming history, mainly because unlike other games, it's a moment that gamers and non-gamers can all appreciate.
@@DEXERTOCSGO Greatest esports moment confirmed.
He's the embodiment of Ryu. Just competes to improve himself internally. We want to see him raising trophies again. But he's over it.
Actually his talent transcends generations. His insight and approach is second to none.
I think his spirit and aura are his strongest attributes. I met him twice. He treated me like he was just a normal dude. I seen no Hollywood attitude in him. A great spirit to be around.
Daigo is such a fascinating man. Retired and came back still as the best in the world. More than willing to just change everything about his style of play because he likes challenging himself.
He's the seminal representation of class. He doesn't want to be the best or the greatest (he has given away prize money in the tens of thousands). He just wants to challenge himself without becoming obsessed.
It's like he's the modern day Ryu. Always seeking the next challenge.
basically he is ryu in real life?
Always gonna be there and Root for Daigo when I see him in a Tournament. By far my most favorite player to watch!
I love how aggressive he plays with Guile
Daigo not only holds record of major wins, he also makes EPIC moments most of the time
when ever i watch the EVO moment it still gives me goosebumps
True💯
6:52 smug standing in the background like he wont get command grabbed
21:00 "Lets play, even just a little bit"
and then:
Evo Champion
When you talk about Street Fighter. You talk about Daigo. Same as when you talk about basketball. You talk about Michael Jordan. Legends name will always be represented for certain activities.
Not Street Fighter. Just eSports. He's the Daigo of eSports.
Not only Street figher. The whole esports knows Daigo.
@@chestervelosophotography6702 that is wrong lmfao, no one in the esport know who daigo is, just fgcv, stop delusional fanboy
Doesn't seem like he performed poorly at all, to be honest. He took all games to the last match, and he could've taken it from Tokido just as he could've lost his second match. These are very high stakes games. He's getting used to a new tool, a new meta, and it's just one tournament where he put a lot of expectation into winning. Ignore the guy's age and history. None of you would look at those matches and say the player's overrated, or not highly competitive.
I don’t even play fighting games and I know Daigo is a legend
In the Asia CPT qualifier Daigo was pummeling everyone right and left.He himself once said that he doesn't give his 100% to win.He gives 70% to winning and 30% to experimenting.Imagine what would have happened if he wanted to just win tournaments.Follow FGC to see more of daigo's fights
If only daigo embraced his inner demon Diego Umejuarez, then can he relive his golden age.
He doesn't strive to relive that age, new Daigo would destroy old Daigo.
Even if he's not strong with the current Meta, he set the bar for training and effort. His legacy still lives on with his rival who still struggles with him to this day, EVO 2017 champion Tokido. His legacy lives on with his Mah-jong partner and former protege, EVO 2019 Champion Bonchan. He helped turned the dude's life around after years being stuck in a Mah-jong parlor. Daigo has inspired future generations of FGC players and soon champions. May his Legacy live strong.
daigo once taunt bonchan, "even you can become evo chap?" and bonchan said " i see no light at the end of this tunnel" and goes offline but after that , they happily goes to mah-jong parlor ....
I will never stop rooting for Daigo.
6:51 lol SMUG
Dat smile tho. BRUH
He stood there and smiled for 12 whole frames, with the greatest of ease.
@@TotalTuxedo He act like he won't get command grab.
Surprised he didn't do the stare into daigo's camera
a smile worth of all turkey neckbones
6:52 love smug giving a smug smile in background
thats so funny lol
He is so humble, i'll allways root for you legend.
Classy content from dexerto.
👊
@@DEXERTOCSGO more please!
Mad props to Daigo. FGC and esports wouldn't be the same without him :)
Daigo the goat and untouchable in any games that actually mattered.
He inspired me with his Ryu play.
He inspired me with his humbleness...
2004.. ahh to be 16 again..... Sure we had a bunch of war and shit going on but at least 3rd strike was dope!
Daigo is a really nice , humble guy living leyend .
Excellent work by our video team. A godfather of esports.
You got this Daigo, keep it up. you inspire me to go to tournaments
im obsessed to street fighter because of Daigo
Daigo has achieved so much, even though hes not winning any tournaments in SFV its a pleasure always watching him play. Hes done it all.
Daigo has won tournaments in SFV. May not have been a lot, but he won some.
He’s won a few buddy !
@@burkshomemadememes diagonal lol
"this makes practicing fun" - I think he's only gonna get better with the hitbox
Daigo is like the Tiger Woods of street fighter. Love watching him play
Realized he mentions Bison with his english localized name and not as Vega. Avoids confusion. Professional.
Vega is a different character? Or am i missing something
Florian Pinterowitsch Balrog is originally meant to be named M. Bison but it wasn’t used in the west for obvious reasons so they moved the names around a bit in the west to even things out so; Balrog is M. Bison in Japan, Vega is Balrog in Japan and M. Bison is Vega in Japan.
@@charlie7672 oh thanks. Didnt know that
One of the classiest guys in the space.
Charlie Don’t get why he can’t be named that?
Thank you for this, the legend deserves it.
Love it and love daigo! What a legend!
Appreciated.
1:47 look at the player introduction in the background. "He's Daigo." No need for more introduction.
I really enjoyed this video I haven't skip not even a single part this video was very fun to watch about daigo and the struggle
Other people's introduction: EVO 2017 champion, UK number 1 player, etc. etc.
Daigo's introduction: He's Daigo.
Smug rockin that green screen with the GREATEST of ease...
Daigo deserves another title I hope he achieved one soon
The problem is SFV has been dumbed down to the point that people that would have had no chance in older titles can win. SF4, SF3:3s, SSF2X, SFZ3, CvS2 you see consistency in the winners since the games have a high ceiling and reward technical skill.
Yes. You'd be set on at Max 3 revisions throught a game and some super versions, but the way sfv is within a year -not even in change of seasons - make it a totally different scenario from the older games
He is not just a legend He is *The Legend*
The man, the myth, the Legend!
Tokido to himself: Man i have to drink more,but i also want to play more. ok new rule: only drink between rounds !
I will always root for you precious person
he is the bravest player and become precursor to WHOLE GAMING Community and Industry . People Should be thankful to Daigo
inspiration of millions of people
READ ME: Daigo is Street Fighter. His influence will always live on. He got started in Vampire Savior and dominated in that game. He came to Street Fighter 2 and quickly rose to the top. The way competitive players hold the joy stick is called Umehara style, look it up the dude literally changed the way players hold the stick... COME ON! Countless titles and championships in countless games. People forget he was top in the GGX era as well. He has nothing to prove. He was the first signed JAP pro gamer. During the renaissance ERA if SF4 he returned to show he still matters. The fact of the matter is that SFV took away invincible shoryukens and this changed SF 100%. Now you can bully on wake ups and OKI is a thing unless you spend meter. But in the OLD days you must always REPSECT the Shoryuken!
Love Daigo, but the way to hold a stick has been around since the 90's.
why are your comment is so low in like?
@@setiawansantoso idk i wonder myself
what a humble Beast! Respect!
There are exceptional players, but Daigo will always be a motivating force for those passionate about fighting games, especially for SFV CE players. In fact it is the biggest reference we have!
Existem jogadores excepcionais, mas Daigo sempre será uma força motivadora para aqueles apaixonados por jogos de luta, especialmente para jogadores de SFV CE. Na verdade, é a maior referência que temos!
Really nice video good job !
Doesn’t matter when your name is daigo -beast -legend. You will only know if you get a glimpse of the beast.
Daigo is Ryu. He doesn’t care about winning or losing. He only cares about the fight and that’s why he’s the greatest of all time
Great video. Very insightful and personal
Daigod doesn't seek glory just doing hard work and go with the flow without expecting too much.
That narration... THE emphasis WAS all over THE place...
6:52 LOOK AT THAT FLATTOP
Wallpaper for you guys: i.imgur.com/TIUUhnn.png
He is getting older. Already said it time ad time again since few years ago. It is very hard to be competitive with younger competitors these days. What he did and achieved last time will be remembered. That EVO moment is forever sealed as the top in all gaming lore.
Not only that, street fighter as a game is generally very different
Daigo we will always be rooting for you
Hard to keep kicking ass for 28 years
When the make the games 4 dummies now
Class never dies.
Especially when the game is changing a lot
People should know. I know most of you know but for the ones new to the FGC. Daigo was a pro gamer since 10 years but played on tourneys since the early 2000s, an over 20 year lasting career
I think he was watching the last episodes of excellent adventures and saw Mike Ross and Gootecks use the Hitbox and was motivated, basically compelled to use it.
Smug made a cameo with the greatest of ease
Gonna root for him forever
Thanks Daigo.
Nice
Daigo played ryu for a long ass time so as a ryu player myself I am a fan of him
The man who made Tokido cry
Love that title
still a legend
面白かった！今年もがんばってね
Damn there’s an ad like every 30 seconds
Asian boss need to make an interview with him not about game but his life
Living legends are awesome
6:52
As long as there's a camera in the FGC there you will find SMUG
Am still a fan of daigo. But this sport, like another traditional sports, favours young players, who have quicker reflex and steely concentration. Daigo has simply passed his prime, like Roger Federer, both of who are 38 years old now.
even the "Beast" is getting older
do you watch daigo guile vs kawano kolin from hifight frame break down analysis?
Daigo, the literal Goku of the FGC
i wish he'll be back someday.
My dude he still plays. I think you were tired around maybe 2008?but he ended up getting a full-time job and started playing shogi and decided that that wasn't for him so replace fighting games, he's a media figure, and he's a nurse.
@@taylorbee4010 but i want the dominating Daigo. :( i wanna see him back in main stage again.
Defeat poses? We don't do those this is Ume sir
some gamer rely on how strong the characters are on particular game,but daigo, he demonizes a fair and square character such as guile and ryu
what'a that little piano tune playing near the end? really liked it
Another Night - Cody High
Were the same age. Cool
I would recommend to everyone to read his autobiography book.
Daigo i love you so much!!!!
GOAT
Daigo is Ryu🔥🔥🔥
Daigo is a motherflippin LEGEND. Never forget that.
dai god the legend of fighting game
I think that KenZen or Zen Master Daigo would be more fitting for him than the Beast.
Eyyyy! It's mah boy Smuggles! =D
Thr beast who once was, now isn't, but one day will be. :P
今のストリートファイターがのがウメハラだいごのおかげです素晴らしい企画です
6:51 daigo watch out theres a hammerhead shark!!!
any1 know what controller is that 14:07?
LETS GO DAIGOOOO!
Unh... he's doing pretty good.
Why didn't you guys tell Daigo his backpack was open?
Legend dont need to (always) win. Daigo dont have anything to prove.
Final music please
6:52 LOL smug!!
Smug @6:52 is why I'm here.
Wait for KAGE!
and i thought he's going to say it's the controller of the future there 🤣
