I'm still trying to figure out how Seth and Viper mauled him at Evo...
Can't speak for Viper, but for Seth it's actually pretty simple. First and foremost, Seth's fierce DP beats EVERY attack that Yun has, his normals, his specials, even his EX up kick. So what can Yun do? If he just blocks or tech's on wake up, he'll get SPD'd. If he back dashes he'll get caught by tanden engine. And both will put him in the same mix up that he was in before. And this is the one time where DP, FADC, really hurts Yun. If Poongko tries to bait on wake up and Daigo played as Ryu for example, he could DP FADC on wake up and back dash to safety or forward dash with Poongko mashing tech instead of being prepared to go for a SPD.
I see a lot of people say that Daigo got mind fucked. He didn't get mind fucked, nobody who is forced into this situation is mind fucked. Poongko basically forced Daigo(and previous opponents like Momochi) into a 50/50 guessing game where he guessed right at a near 100% rate. This isn't a excuse for Daigo, he is in a situation where no decision is safe. Blocking, jumping, back dashing, reversal DP, etc. can all be blown up by Seth. My friend plays Yun as a 2ndary, I play Seth as a 2ndary. Normally I get blown up by him, but because of this simple mix up, I'm going nearly even with him and he hates it. I think it's stupid to because it doesn't level up your game in anyway, you're just playing guess fighter.
With that said, this is part of the reason why Poongko lost to Latif. The Seth wake up guessing game mix up doesn't work on Viper because EX seismo will cause Seth's DP to whiff. And as we all saw, Latif does EX seismo on wake up a lot so Poongko was afraid to go for DP on wake up. He had to respect Latif's wake up game more.
Oh and I will speak for Viper afterall, I'm with Saty, the character is just stupid. Mash EX seismo on wake up and nearly win EVO.
