Street Fighter IV

So many umeshoryu fadc ultras

[Warudo Ecksu]

what KILLS me is, diago was messing around lol. you see all those focuses? he was baiting him on purpose to please the crowd for a bit, like wtf? who adjusts that fast? i used to think rog was at the disadvantage against a ryu, but good gawd

i had the feeling daigo was just messing around to give the crowd a show

[Ryko]

And Daigo wins again, Justin will never get in that guy's head.

[Weltall]

No...he was trying to catch the overhead when Justin had a full bar and he threw it the previous to round starts...lol.

Considering it wasn't even one of Justin's top 3 char (Rufus Abel Sagat), he did fucking AMAZING.

you see when he thought he did win tho? lol, he was doing an asian carleton dance while diago was sitting there patiently like mr rodgers lol

i kinda thought he was trying to bait one of the armor breakers and punish from there, hot damn though what a set

[richardd]

justin is good w/anyone man. he won a tourney with guile, didnt he? and isnt guile shit? lol

That's the real diff yeah, was talking to a friend on the way home this weekend and that was the first thing that came up. Justin's personality is too out there vs daigo to really get a good bead on him, despite the fact that he did downright amazing with a character I didnt even know he played seriously.

[Nerull]

loool. As much as I hate Daigo nuthuggers, glad wong got shut down. Maybe he'll stop running his mouth for a few months.

everything aside, awesome match. had to stop myself from shouting at my screen quite a few times, so roommates wouldn't be pissed at me waking them up.

[Highlulu]

THIS IS INSANE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE GROWTH OF THE GAME OMFG

this, i'm new to the community but it's sooo easy to see why this game and events like these are sooo crucial to the scene's growth.


edit: how in the flying fuck can anyone call those sets boring? that shit was awesome

[richardd]

justin always been good with rog. theres a video of him beating 300 ppl ( think?) including mike ross using rog, but it was for like... a promotion on some gamepad

edit: hold on lemme find it


edit#2

here it is

yeah it was pads, but he been using rog for a minute now

[Deejay]

Yeah, Wong can beast with any character. His zoning game just isn't as good as Daigo's, and it's harder for him to win when he's not in control of the match.

[Ramor]

damn, if i was as good as justin i'd constantly talk shit too i don't see why people rip on that fact, everyone would do it if they were that good don't deny it for a second

[Yangsing]

There's lot of top players that don't talk shit..

This. Glad I'm home alone for the national holiday weekend. Between getting fucked by lag in the earlier sf4 matches and this match I did a lot of yelling.

Also lol'd at Daigo looking back when Wong did his little walkaway. Glad to see him win just because of shit like that. ;p

[Ramor]

There's lot of top players that don't talk shit..

yeah but why the hell not, if i could consistently beat something like 99.9% of players i'd just talk shit all day, hell even if you lose it's just going to be a bunch of crybabies on the internet calling you out when you would just stomp all over them in any match

isn't trash-talking what east vs. west is all about anyway?

[PeaceNLove]

Daigo wins again, boring.

Man, how can you say this about Daigo!? I've barely played street fighter in my life but that guy is a fucking god to me after watching that EVO 2004 epic full parry vid.

[Weltall]

90% absolutely talk shit. Shit talking IS the scene. Don't act like Daigo is some king and can do no wrong; the only reason he isn't talking shit and jumping around is because for 26 years he played in Japan where they don't do that shit at all. Nature vs. Nurture. If he grew up in NYC playing in CFA, he would have just probably tossed a middle finger at the crowd.

The entire reason Evo got started was because of East vs. West shit talking.... without shit talking we wouldn't have seen that match we just saw so just stfu.

Lets see if Justin can take Daigo out @ SBO. Btw - Justin qualified SBO with Balrog, but I'm pretty sure he hadn't selected/practiced Balrog all weekend.

These grand finals should be first to 10 like og Marvel.


It fucking sucks that like all SBO quals were in west coast....those west guys are going to get totally destroyed @ SBO..... need fucking Art/Marn/Sanford/Justin in that motherfucker to stand a chance...

[Nerull]

There's a difference between playfully talking shit, and just making yourself out to be an arrogant douchebag. I've never met the guy; he very well may be a cool guy normally. Been when all he shows to the public is arrogance and inconsideration for his peers, what kind of impression are we supposed to make about him?

pick your cliche:
Pride goes before a fall.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
You have to give respect to receive it.
etc.

It's a different culture, and tbh it's prolly why Jwong lost. He would get himself so amped that he'd get halfway into the round and just fuck around or think he can play it safe.
