I know that was fixed but I think Daigo wanted to win that at the end and messed up lol.

Yeah I genuinely think Lupe caught him off guard in that last round.

It was obvious Daigo was going easy on him (not anti airing and constantly going for parries/not max punishes) but I don't think he actually expected that lmao.

 

[KaYotiX]

also Lupe pulled of some legit combos, made ken look like alot of fun

 

[Emarv]

Competitive Street Fighter is a sham.

Long live Melee as the true skill game!

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Daigo's unfamiliarity with the different DP strengths did him in, lol

Different DPs have different invulnerability.

 

[GreatNumber]

People thinking that was legit gives me a new understanding to how people could believe in creationism.

Don't ruin my fun :3

 

[mreddie]

So everyone assumes its this?

 

[Wookieomg]

That was so awesome lol

 

[Order]

I want a WWE style FG league now

 

[Baleoce]

the fuck just happened haha

 

[Remapped88]

LMAO, this shit was too good and was a great promo for SFV.

 

[Velikost]

That was OD hype lmao; collusion?

Didn't Lupe put his phone in that jacket though?

 

[KidA Seven]

KID A WHERE YOU AT BRO?

I thought it was hilarious lol

 

[Takamura-San]

First time Japan loses to US in a major.

 

[ExVicis]

People thinking that was legit gives me a new understanding to how people could believe in creationism.

Some people just can't handle that Daigo lost. No need to be salty about it, Daigo obviously is fine with it.

 

[def sim]

Lupe 40-0 Fiasco

41-0

 

[DiddyBop]

staged or not THAT was entertaining as hell. announcers were great and helped create the hype!

 

[Quonny]

Even you can beat the pros!

Street Fighter V in stores now. Pick it up on Amazon, Best Buy, WalMart, or anywhere videogames are sold!

 

[BearPawB]

That was so much fun

 

[Jashobeam]

Rather have Zhi interview him, this guy seems like he's star struck

 

[SDBurton]

People thinking that was legit gives me a new understanding to how people could believe in creationism.

People are just having fun. Chill out. XD

 

[Ratcabbage]

I don't care if Daigo was trying or not, that was fun as hell to watch!

 

[Omnistalgic]

lol....Good Guy Diago

Very entertaining start to launch.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

People thinking that was legit gives me a new understanding to how people could believe in creationism.

Of course its fake.
Have some fun

 

[OsirisBlack]

lmao Mike was PISSED when lupe jumped on the couch LMAO

 

[Trace]

Obviously rigged but hilarious.

 

[friskykillface]

SHOOK

 

[Mediking]

Yeah, this was crazy staged BUT it does get the message across that anybody can win....sorta. Lol

 

[Megawarrior]

"Hey did you enjoy watching this celebrity beat up the CHAMP, THE LEGEND ? You too can win at Street Fighter, BUY YOUR COPY NOW!

It must be working. My friend just bought it lmao

 

[Astarte]

OH MY GOD
LOO
PAY

 

[opticalmace]

So everyone assumes its this?

What's the story here?

 

[TheAquaticApe]

That was a fun match to watch. Lupe showed some great respect for Diago and TFG community as well.

 

[ismk]

Did anyone expect this to be legit? Come on, people

 

[Eila]

So when does Vince McMahon pops out?

 

[Skikkiks]

Very good of the veterans Mike Ross and Daigo to put the young up and comer Lupe Fiasco over.

 

[Durden77]

Oh my god. Diego was obviously playing with food, but he played with it too much and Lupe made some legit unpredictable desicions near the end considering the game is so new.

Fuck man. This match was awesome.

 

[NinjaMouse]

That was a ton of fun to watch. Lupe and Diago were both awesome sports about it. Good on MCZ (and MarkMan!) for organizing this...I can't wait for my copy of SFV to arrive tomorrow.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I haven't been this hype for a street fighter match in ages. gawdamn

 

[Sheroking]

Rather have Zhi interview him, this guy seems like he's star struck

You dont want Zhi interviewing Lupe.

It would get weird.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

So Daigo obviously threw that, but gotta give Lupe some credit he played pretty damn well regardless lol

 

[Gorillaz]

Were getting Lupe v Daigo 2 at Evo aren't we

Vince book it breh

 

[Shun]

Someone edit Lupe and Daigo on here.

 

[Aaronrules380]

What's the story here?

wrestling is fake

 

[EndlessSky]

I truly believe Daigo was sandbaggin, but he intended to win the match, but Daigo thought it was first to 5, so he gave up that game.

 

[Karsticles]

I think the message is clear.

Now that pros don't have scrubby gimmicks like FADCs, invincible backdashes, and combos to propel them against the average player, the grounds have been evened out. No longer do we need to spend hours in training mode learning the game, but rather, we can use real skillful techniques like fireballs, DPs, and jumping in at will. Whoever can do these moves the best deserves to win.

Spoiler

 

[WadeitOut]

Don't ruin my fun :3

Fine!


But if they put rideable dinosaurs in SFV I am out.

 

[StoopKid]

What's the story here?

The day wwf won.

 

[joe2187]

 

[narcosis219]

Lupe just used "never be game over" like it was a grammatically correct phrase LMAO

 

[WarRock]

Staged or not

Spoiler

totally staged

, that's the best pre game marketing I've seen in ages.

No kidding hahahahaha

"Rise up" indeed.

 

[KZXcellent]

It's clear that Daigo held back, but I don't think it a staged win for Lupe. Then again I'm in the minority of people desperately trying to find different ways to say it's rigged~
