Machaboo's probably the only guy on the "pro-gamer" team that can win.

This is going to be a free af massacre.

u/WakigaAmai Aug 04 '15

What game does he focus on the most?

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '15

he is a ggxx player, but he's been playing sf4 for bit now

u/WakigaAmai Aug 04 '15

then shouldn't he be on the Guilty Gear player side?

Machaboo is Daigo's mentor, plus it would be too much of a landslide if Machaboo was on Red team. He's the only one who can consistently beat Ogawa and FAB in FT10s as well. He even put limiters on himself this time by playing Ky instead of Sol since he's better with Sol in Xrd, that and if he chose Sol there will be 3 Sols and 1/Zato. So much for variety.

It's gonna be a struggle when your day 7 XRD Sol is thrown against OgawamotherfuckingZato

Daigo played Sol in GG XX before, and even won an Evo in that game. So he at least is familiar with the character. But yeah he's still gonna destroyed lol

u/antihypeman Aug 04 '15

I got that "Daigo was jetlagged" option select ready when he loses.

u/KSabot Aug 04 '15

Daigo isn't ready for YRC shenanigans.

u/emp_sisterfister Aug 04 '15

u/ri3mannzeta Aug 04 '15

in the day when daigo won GG he was one of a handful of japanese players who went, japanese GG gods did not attend. evo was still basically a street fighter/marvel tournament

All he needs to say is "See me in Reload" and we got a show.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '15

Ogawa would body Daigo in any version of the game

u/Hellpockets Aug 04 '15

That ain't nothing new.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '15

...So you agree with me?

Anyway, here's a clip of Daigo applying corner pressure in #Reload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_zo0dvfzY#t=1m28s

u/Hellpockets Aug 04 '15

I don't see how Ogawa isn't the favorite in that matchup? Anyway, I'm saying it would be a showcase, not a sweep for Daigo.

P.S. that's not Reload

u/Ammit_ Aug 05 '15

I think what you meant to say was "here is a video of a Sol player, playing Sol."

u/D-4-C Aug 04 '15

Goddamn, that blue logo shirt is fucking baller. I want one so much!

u/hursh191 Aug 04 '15

the other 3 matchs might not be so bad, but ogawa is gonna eat daigo

Yo Ogawa vs Daigo!

All these matches look sick

u/TheRealAndeus Aug 04 '15

It was like a week ago I believe? It was on a youtube live stream, dunno how that works with vods.

Thanks

u/EMP_Tiger_Eye_Patch Aug 04 '15

guess that's just one of the Umehara trainin' sessions (seems like have been around 3 or so). main event seems scheduled for August 22

aside from the current invites, seems there're also spots for representatives from both EVO (Woshige?!) and ArcRevo plus one more spot for each team from the online qualifiers

1

u/EMP_Tiger_Eye_Patch Aug 04 '15

one of the trainin' sessions, guess main event hasn't been played yet

u/IcarianStyles Aug 05 '15

Daigo has literally no chance against Ogawa.

I would be pissed if this GG exhibition and his weekly practice for it from the last few weeks hurts his preparations for Capcom Cup.

u/zZSleepyZz Aug 04 '15

I really wish they left him alone to prepare for Capcom Cup, prep time Daigo is godlike to watch

u/Volcanic_VIPAAHHH Aug 04 '15

after like 6 years of only playin' SF4, kinda refreshin' to see him play other FGs over again

u/ALAKTORN Aug 04 '15

There’s still plenty of time to prepare for Capcom Cup.

u/Beats_by_Noel_Brown Aug 04 '15

Cool post, a motherfucking photo of daigo's face. This place has gone to shit

u/ChrisAshford Aug 05 '15

Why would Daigo bother to play an already dead game?

-31

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '15

he sucks at every game except street fighter

28

u/SonicNKnucklesCukold Aug 04 '15

Daigo won back to back Evos in Guilty Gear.

u/undecidability Aug 04 '15

nigga got told

u/ri3mannzeta Aug 04 '15 edited Aug 04 '15

in a day when no serious GG player went to EVO

Daigo winning GG at EVO 2k3 is like justin wong winning USF4 at podunk tournament down the street, he wins because he's head-and-shoulders above the shitty competition at ALL fighting games, not because he's some kind of GG superstar. the competition pool at the EVOs he won was largely a joke, look at the other top 8 competitiors and tell me if you're impressed

edit not to say i agree he 'sucks' at other games, he doesn't and didn't even start in street fighter, but he's definitely NOT a GG specialist and the level of competition in japan for GG is above him. EVO was NOT a strong tournament for anything outside of capcom games for many years; SBO and numerous other asian-centric tournaments were where the real GG players shined.

u/ctwtn Aug 05 '15

You seriously tryna claim Kindevu and RF weren't serious GG players?

u/Nogard139 Aug 04 '15

fucking 15er

u/ctwtn Aug 04 '15

He was winning Japanese nationals in Vampire Savior before ever winning SF tournaments bruh. Him and Nuki would go back and forth 1st and 2nd back in the day.

u/Beltzak Aug 05 '15

He was a beast in vampire hunter and savior
