Jesus Christ, man.
I don't want to be part of a scene where Daigo isn't relevant. Fuck change.
I know it's popular to make fun of Alex Myers when people bring up him being top cammy in the U.S but he's clearly proving himself in this tourney.
Without Du, Punk can easily take this if he plays at his normal peak level.
Fuudo's spacing is second to none and that dude gets bodied every time.
You meant to type Justin Wong here, otherwise you don't live in the same reality as the rest of us.
Who?
Alright I'll be nice. He did do good. recently.
The worst placement out of all tournaments Fuudo went this year is 3rd, and if we consider his last year performance, he is easily the most consistent player by a very large margin.
I was talking about Wong, lol. Fuudo is strong af.
Fuudo's SFV tournament history has been hugely successful and somewhat tragic at the same time. I don't think the guy has ever won one of the big tournaments, but doesn't he have something like 7 or 8 top 3's since SFV came out in CPT and non-CPT big money tourney's.
According to the Shoryuken ranking, besides the two first major tournaments, he never placed out of the top 8.
There were beasts before Daigo was a god fam. It's just the way it goes.
He'll still be relevant. He'll still make Top 16s and that's something that still takes the best players to reach.
He just might not win anything consistently.
That being said, Daigo still needs time with Guile. It's still raw, and it's still rough, so he can get better. The question, more importantly, is if he can drive himself to improve.
what this happened off stream???Art posted the video of the last match of the Du vs Snake Eyez set.

I'm confused. Doesn't a Double KO count as not being a win for either player?

I just looked at it, it's nuts. Six top 3's in Premier or Big money events and minimum of top 8 in all the other ones. So close to having the biggest check from all those tournaments but he's fallen short every single time. It's sad that his only tournament win in SFV was extremely stacked, but took place in Japan where he probably earned no money for his efforts(I'm not counting his qualifier wins). No one else has come close to having a resume like he has in SFV so far.
So basically he's the Ash Ketchum of SFV.
