Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong (Jwonggg) duke it out @ Capcom's Super Street Fighter 4 Fight Club in LA on April 23, 2010. This is an exhibition match, best of 5 -- Some of the earliest footage of Daigo playing SSF4!
You know what Daigo vs. Justin matches really are to alot of players? These are the matches you wish you could have: near perfect hit-confirming, doing the move you want to do, and having the match's end be something to remember.
These two guys are like the Ken and Ryu irl. Daigo is the quiet, reserved Japanese guy who lives for the fight, JWong is his brash American counterpart, nearly his equal in every way but with a penchant for flash that sometimes gets him in trouble.
It's a real shame the footage was stolen, everytime these two clash it's amazing and regardless of what you think of the two of them, this event really needed to be archived properly. Massive props to Valle and the levelupseries for everything they did, this could be all we get from last night
Oh man, what a comeback. Two great players. I wish I was HALF as awesome as these two. That's twice now I've seen Daigo do something in SF that I'll never forget... Mad props to Wong too.
After looking at the top rated comments I had a feeling something amazing was going to happen but in all honestly after watching all 5 matches plus the ending, was better then paying to go watch a full length movie in theaters. I typed this in after I picked my jaw up off the floor.
I look at it from two angles. If the two players were doing their best to win, what a great finish. If the two players actually fixed the way the match would end, what a great finish. Daigo and Justin are great to watch when they go against each other no matter what the outcome is. This one just happened to be superb haha.
What an amazing comeback Justin did during that last game, if he won it, that would of been equivalent to Daigos previous victory against Wong in that "other game".
i got mezmerized while looking at Rufus' stomach wiggle about during the last 2 minutes of the video lmfao. This match was unbelievable!!!!!! so awesome seeing daigo use someone other than Ryu for a chnage! EPIC!!!
@Firespiritmars if Daigo won that round he would have won the match as in Daigo would have gotten to 3 out of 5 wins. Justin wong only had one win at the moment. Since Justin Wong won the 2:00 match, the score was 2-2 thus entering the last fight.
@davidfof13 Whats your logic in that? Ryu's zoning game has been heavily nerfed along with the ulra, on top of that rufus can punish fireballs from full screen.
