So Daigo actually lost or did he make him win?

 

[Mediking]

"My friends at Konami" - Lupe Fiasco 2016

 

[RecRoulette]

Every single person who plays Daigo in a tournament in SFV is going to have in the back of their head "This mofo lost to Lupe Fiasco." Daigo already playing mindgames with everyone.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Those 15 minutes were better than the entire 3 hours of RAW tonight.

 

[pizzacat]

Someone edit Lupe and Daigo on here.

Hey that guy is coaching Lebron now

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I think Daigo planned to throw a few matches, but got caught off guard/lost track or something

 

[fader]

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.

true and he was unfamiliar with SFV

 

[Apathy]

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

Oh it totally was, but Daigo totally gave it to him. Lupe has a lot of fans, and he will be promoting SF5 like crazy because of this. This going to push sales

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Lupe genuinely looks like he's having a blast and was really excited to play against Daigo. This was fun.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Today a new beast is born

 

[Einchy]

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

Nah, he knew it was the last one. He started taking his headphones off but then noticed Lupe still in the zone.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Daigo gave him his autobiography manga. LOL

 

[V-Faction]

LU - PE, ALL DA WAY
COME AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY

DAI - GO, HE DON'T KNOW
THAT THAT"S THE WAY WE PLAY

 

[farisr]

Daigo was probably letting him win earlier, but Lupe caught him off guard in the final round.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Bruh, let's take a moment to talk about Ryu's damage. I've seen grenades with less power than Ryu's blows.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

I think it was Daigo just messing around with Lupe to get it to 2-2 and even till the final deciding round for extra drama. But that last round didn't go as planned.
F-ing hillarious!

 

[Dark Ninja]

Daigo setting up Lupe's comeback in the last round. Perfect psychology by Daigo good work rate and execution. The finish felt flat due to the crowd not knowing it was last round. 5 STARS

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

This was awesome real or not lol nice sfv hype!!

Lol im retiring!!

 

[Rice-Eater]

I enjoyed it, it was much better than had Daigo played seriously. I do think Daigo is still unfamiliar with SFV, but come on, we all know that was Daigo's doing. Trying to parry wake up DP and cross ups over and over, lol. I'm sure Lupe knows what's up, but he don't give a shit. He had a ton of fun and got to fulfill something he always wanted to do. I think overall it was a good event regardless of the circumstance.

 

[Quonny]

So Daigo actually lost or did he make him win?

It was staged. That said, Lupe still played well.

 

[katsubento]

I got to go to Folsom for Capcom Cup After Party this past PSX. I want to to go there again. Such a cool chill place and the FGC was so great. Nothing like that exists where I live.

 

[JayEH]

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

why you salty bro

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I wonder how much money they gave Daigo for this staged shit lol.

Was still pretty entertaining.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

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

You'd be giddy and emotional too if you just destroyed Daigo.

 

[Novocaine]

So everyone assumes its this?

Yeah man. It would have been so much less enjoyable (and less hype) if Daigo won 3-0.

 

[BadWolf]

Daigo obviously let him win but the commentary made it fun.

 

[purg3]

lmao Mike was PISSED when lupe jumped on the couch LMAO

Lupe was like fuck yo couch, Mike Ross. LOL

 

[Degen]

hell yeah Lupe

retiring undefeated!

 

[Dominator]

I missed it, I need to watch.

 

[Seven Force]

Bruh, let's take a moment to talk about Ryu's damage. I've seen grenades with less power than Ryu's blows.

Yeah, Ryu hits like a fucking truck.

 

[Moaradin]

Daigo actually did do a DP at the end and got counter hit

 

[BotoxAgent]

I don't know this guys music but he seems such genuine dude

 

[HouseDragon]

YOOOOO, this was hype as hell. Daigo was definitely holding back in his matches, but him looking confused at the end makes me think that he thought it was a FT5 instead of FT3 or something. But that popoff and emotion in Fiasco's face and his respect for Daigo made it (cool jacket!). Awesome event and can't wait for SFV to unlock in an hour!

 

[spindashing]

Welcome to the WWE, Lupe

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

It was staged. That said, Lupe still played well.

Where is the confirmation that it was staged? Man, I couldn't see Lupe winning ever against Daigo.

 

[Opto]

Daigo gonna become a monk

 

[narcosis219]

You'd be giddy and emotional too if you just destroyed Daigo.

I didn't think anything of it until he said it for the third time and then I realized it makes no sense

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

That was a legit win, what are you guys talking about?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

not merciless robotic execution, not entertained tbh

 

[BadWolf]

Daigo actually did do a DP at the end and got counter hit

Probably doesn't know that the MP version is the one with invincibility.

 

[ReginaldXIV]

Probably staged by Daigo, but who cares, it was awesome to watch, and Lupe did show some decent ability to play SF so it was cool regardless.

Even if Daigo was going easy on him, he did so in a way that didn't ruin Lupe's enjoyment, which is a skill in itself.

 

[mbpm1]

It's staged to hell but I like the script

 

[Natural]

That match was jokes, was great to watch

 

[opticalmace]

lol markman.

 

[Unison]

Lupe Flowchartsco.

 

[daegan]

It was staged. That said, Lupe still played well.

Can definitely see Daigo not knowing that mp Shoryu is the only invincible one now

 

[Formless]

That jacket is way too big for Daigo

 

[wapplew]

Fighting game community really one of the best!

 

[raven777]

That was really fun to watch.

 

[phaonaut]

Probably doesn't know that the MP version is the one with invincibility.

I didn't know that either, good to know.
