A match of three faces:
- Even though it was close in the beginning, Daigo really had Sako beat with DP'ing cannon strikes consistently (6-1);
- Some close comebacks by Sako (crucial arrows/supers/ultras through fireballs), he started to read Daigo really well, and Daigo was absolutely stunned through quite some time (8-6 to Sako);
- Daigo eventually regained his composure, but it was too late, as they split games in the final four matches. I thought that double KO moment was crucial for Sako, as it kept a potential momentum shift out.
Truly awesome ending!

Only watched the last few matches but enough to know Daigo got blown up. Air cannon strike owns Daigo. He ate three of them in the last round that ended up leading to big combos. Against Sako, you can't do that. Just block. It wasn't a crossup or anything. :lol
14k viewers. EVO numbers. I'm pretty impressed.
I have to give it to Sako for representing Team NAH.
It must be Kokujin, a lot of times he's like "shoryu ho ho ho" in that funny voice.

Ono praises Sako and then will proceed to nerf his Cammy.

14K viewers, wow. 
too bad I missed it.
Man, this is a crazy tournament. Can't wait for Sako vs. Mago.
And the loser's is going to be ridiculous also. We might (big might) have a runback of Sako/Daigo.
I wonder if this will affect Daigo mentally going into SB5?
And will Ricky Ortiz be able to avenge his loss at Evo, since he's the big dog on the West right now with his win yesterday?

Just finished watching the replay. The matches were so good. Not surprised 14K people tuning in. If they play these matches during good hours in North America, I wouldn't be surprised if they got 20K.
Not sure what happened when Sako ran off 7 straight wins. It seems like Daigo just lost focus or took the match for granted when he was dominating. Sako is a straight baller. I hope we see a rematch.

LTTP, farmer man.
We were going back and forth about Valle being old and feeble on the last page.
And Daigo's come close. Mago's come close. The only winners have been Uryo, Tokido and Sako (online).
I'm watching the Daigo/Sako match right now. It was pretty boring the first seven games.
Not sure if Daigo chocked or was tired from his earlier match with Momochi. Wondered how come he had to fight twice. Weird tournament format. But at least he gets another shot. And no one can say he doesn't no the matchup anymore.
Glad they're nerfing the runaway hurricane and the SA/TKCS.
Cammy and Sako are a torrential downpour of rain, sleet mixed in with lightning and thunder. So overwhelming. I wonder if Mago can take a 10-game set. Do you guys think he'll be using U2 for Fei?

Oh ok I gotcha spider.
On Cammy divekick nerf, I always thought it was ironic that so many people call SF4 a turtley game, but then said people also want offensive tools toned down.

You should check out the footage (if level-up/gootecks archived it). Vangief beating J.Wong. The return of Combofiend's Abel (since he's mostly been using Guy). Old Man Valle styling on these youngins and coming close to vanquishing Ricky Ortiz (Ricky has gotten the best of him since last year's Norcal Regionals).
And honestly in regards to Cammy, it takes some skill to tcks endlessly like a spazzed out crackhead (and integrate the footsies and combos Sako does). It also takes a lot of skill to stop it.
I just get annoyed by the dive-kick shenanigans (yun, yang, rufus, cammy).

Not only do I like it turtley, I am all for offensive tools being toned down. EFF YEAH.

What happened to John Choi in that 8 man lineup?
I saw that he recently beat Ricky Ortiz in some Cali tourney.
And where is Lamerboi from?

That's pretty a pretty matchup specific advantage for Cammy. By no means does she get that across the board vs. the whole cast, or even a majority of the cast for that matter.
Aside from that, what argument are you quoting? I'm just citing player contradicting player sentiments. Lots of peeps say the game is too turtley and offense is bad, you can't attack, get mashed out of everything, etc. etc. then the same players want offensive tools removed. Obviously they're not the smartest of the bunch, but I was just noting the irony.
Spiderjericho said:
It takes skill, but is it the kind of skill you really want to encourage?
I'm surprised Capcom took it out personally.
If Capcom really wanted to improve offense, they'd make linking easier and get rid of FADC on reversals. I don't think having a defensive game is necessarily bad, and I don't think it's as much SFIV being overdefensive as other games being overoffensive.

To be honest if you're a dedicated Cammy player it doesn't really take any skill to do TKCS, it's just muscle memory you gain after practicing repetitions.arstal said:

Well it's obviously not something you pick up right away, kind of how like doing a Shoryuken consistently takes practice for a first time player, the same applies to dive kick. But once you get it down, it's easy.

2 or 3 characters can be all over who? And the rest of the cast has to turtle vs. who? Don't get those 2 statements. Also a lot of the cast has great offense.
Also if you're talking chun vs. cammy, you can backdash out of her divekick mixups, which is an even BETTER answer than DP if you're not cornered (yeah I know that's a pretty big if haha) but Chun does have the pokes to keep cammy out. Matchup is in cammy's favor, but it's not a slaughterhouse by any means.

Season's Beatings 5v5 exhibition:
EG Justin Wong / Arturo Sanchez / Mike Ross / EG Marn / DMG Eduardo "PR Balrog"
vs.
Daigo Umehara / Momochi / Choco Blanka / Gamerbee / Starnab
I'll be rooting for team international but I think USA will take this. Choco Blanka is a great player but she's by far the weakest out of the 10 and puts team international at a handicap. Arturo counters Daigo and who wins that match is a toss-up. Mike Ross is a great counter for Gamerbee, who struggles fighting Hondas.

If it goes like this, US wins. If Sanchez gets knocked out by Starnab or Justin gets knocked out by Daigo or Gamerbee, it'll be rough. Same if Marn takes himself out before he fights Momochi.

Obviously momochi knows that ken is gonna get buffed alot in AE so thats why he is using ken now. Atleast thats my theory.

I'm sorry Arstal, but making links easier will not make the game more offensive. If you want to do those links, you put in a little time and you learn. Capcom's been making things easier for years now, and hell, they DID make links easier in SF4 with plinking.

hitsugi said:
It would, at least at mid-level. People would be more likely to do meaties and offense on wake-up.
It's also not a little time for most people, and that time grinding (and yes, it's just as bad as MMO grind), is time you could be spent enjoying gameplay. It's just bad design, and no amount of justifying will change that.
Capcom gets no credit for plink, it's something players would not discover on their own. If they really cared they would take plink out and give everyone that extra frame for free.
(odds are they can't take plink out, their control system is that messed up- see all the option selects to boot)
Man, I'm so out of the Street Fighter tourney loop for months now, I miss watching these fight live, and Daigo lost even, 7 straight? Damn.
Gotta stay on this thread or SRK to catch the next one live, especially since it was 14k viewers watching - shit must have been hype...
I was just about to say, Marn has to watch out for himself most of all for getting knocked out of the tourney... :lol
And I dunno, I can see Team International taking this as long as Momochi doesn't go Ken again.
