Gettin outplayed in the fireball game, Daigo.

No one expects the Ultra through fireballs these days except from Ryan Hart

 

[Rice-Eater]

If you guys subscribe to Tokidoblog on youtube there have been a couple of videos with hours of footage of Xiaohai and his friend(I forget his name) playing the Evil Ryu mirror. I have no idea if it was in preparation to face Daigo at some point but he's probably very experienced in this match up.

Daigo was doing this shit back in vanilla. Now he just seems scared to try.. or can't react

Dakou?

 

[KidA Seven]

My heart!


Every Daigo match

 

[Master Milk]

daigo such a scumbag

 

[CountBlack]

Daigo looks lost again

 

[Rice-Eater]

Dakou?

Yeah, him.

 

[Horseress]

DAIGO STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART

 

[phaonaut]

Damn, didn't see that coming.

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

Daigo undefeated streak

 

[KidA Seven]

Scumbag Xiaohai


Looks free to everyone and gives the undefeated player his first loss :lol

 

[The Last Emperor]

Lol Daigo getting steamrolled.

Good stuff xiaohai

When's louffy?

 

[Rice-Eater]

This was like a close version of Infiltration vs Daigo from a few years ago. Like Infiltration, Xiaohai kept reading Daigo's fireballs and getting jump in combos over and over.

 

[CountBlack]

welp

Daigo's spacing with his fireballs was so fucking bad this set. Xaio Hai got 10+ jump ins over his fireballs and Daigo didn't jump in once.

Some matchup unfamiliarity on Daigo's side but nigga damn. Stop throwing those close fireballs.

 

[biosnake20]

Being able to jump in on Daigo like that is very impressive.

 

[Not-So-Solid Snake]

Where was this play yesterday Xiaohai? Cant believe he got that many jump ins. Great set.

 

[sikvod00]

dat pop off PogChamp

 

[Horseress]

You know what I just beat Daigo gimme dat mic, lemme talk to the people

 

[KidA Seven]

Because Daigo has had so many close games, another loss could lose the tournament for him. Kazunoko despite having less wins has the same match differential.

 

[ipitydatfu]

day2 started?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Thank you Xiaohai for keeping this interesting.

 

[CountBlack]

Daigo was fireballing at such a close range. He didn't learn shit throughout the games lol

Spoiler

FUCK

 

[Holy Order Sol]

pepeday now pls save Street Fighter with your non-Street Fighter character

differential only matters in a tie

I thought head 2 head was the first tie breaker, and then game differential? That would put Daigo over Kazunoko even in the case of a tie.

He was stubborn being a meter hog while xiaohai was more ready and willing to relinquish his bar for ex fireballs and dp fadc to keep his neutral position.

differential only matters in a tie

I know which is why I said that. Kazunoko, Luffy, and Snake Eyez can still win if Daigo loses 1 more.

Topanga is like that, but I'm not sure how this one is. The commentators keep referring to differential.

 

[CountBlack]

In what planet does Rose beat Elf?

Pretty much, everybody including Xiaohai knew what Daigo wanted in that one game where he did kara demon to try and finish Xiaohai. Which is why he just held up back on wake up to escape it. It worked in other match ups, but not so much in this one since it's mainly a fireball match up.

 

[Sayad]

Head 2 head in a game as match-ups dependent as SF seems like a bad idea.

 

[KidA Seven]

Luffy has this. He said in the interview that Pepeday loves to backdash on wake up and he's punishing him for it.

 

[direct_quote]

So DaiGOAT is washed up again?

 

[CountBlack]

 

[DryEyeRelief]

So DaiGOAT is washed up again?

He's still in the lead but that can change with a few key matches.




Kazunoko might win this though. His remaining two matchups I'm expecting are going to be blowups.

 

[KidA Seven]

So DaiGOAT is washed up again?

Yes.

He played like crap against Xiaohai who was the freest guy in the entire tournament.

 

[Master Milk]

shouldn't the player to player results be the second tie breaker behind match differential? doing it the other way seems weird

I know which is why I said that. Kazunoko, Luffy, and Snake Eyez can still win if Daigo loses 1 more.

ah, i see what you're sayin. i misunderstood

How are the E. Ryu vs Zangief and Rose matchups? Those are all key match ups today that could decide the tournament.

 

[kasane]

Lol i missed the game thats why daigod lost

Not enough faith from mw ;(

 

[Rice-Eater]

How are the E. Ryu vs Zangief and Rose matchups? Those are all key match ups today that could decide the tournament.

I think Gief vs Evil Ryu is either even or slightly in Evil Ryu's favor. Evil Ryu/Rose is in Rose's favor but Daigo seems to be really good in the Rose match up. He beat Louffy last year with Ryu and beat him 3-1 in a money match before Capcom Cup. Which may not really count if they weren't playing that seriously considering what was on the line later that weekend.

 

[K.Sabot]

Elven should put the pot bonus from KiT into Frosty Faustings.

 

[Rice-Eater]

DEM RESETS. Wow, I didn't even know about them before today.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

ITS ALL TIED UP

 

[The Last Emperor]

This matchup is so good

 

[CountBlack]

I have no idea how Luffy is winning these matches

 

[kasane]

Pepeday too emotional for his own good

 

[SloaneRisette]

Man, after watching GG Xrd Top 8 I even more want to get the game now ;_;

 

[KidA Seven]

They have just traded games the whole time, except Luffy was always ahead.
