[ENG SUB] Interview with Daigo on his FT10 against Infiltration 

"I hope everybody find this useful when fighting against opponent with strong low attacks. When your opponent crouches, you crouch at the same time." Easily one of the best tip I've heard.

Daigo is just super awesome. I don't know any word to describe him better than this. He's so kind for sharing all of his thought and tactic, not scared of doing so. So much thought behind all of the match. Result in 10-2. AMAZING.

Lets all share and give air a big thumbs up ! great job man !

Daigo is the best. Showing once again...a winner is not whom always wins, but the one who learns from his defeats and reaches higher levels. When infiltration destroyed him on 2012 and then eliminated him from EVO 2013 , I thought he was done as a player... I'm glad to be soooo wrong.

This guy is something else. He´s a mastermind.

Air you're fucking awesome. It must be a pain to do these translations. Very much appreciated.

thank you for taking the time to do this, we appreciate it!

This is deep. Finally someone explaining the advantages that certain characters have over others and not just saying the matchup is 7-3. I use to wonder what players would analyze to determine which characters were high or low tier.

Daigo works hard like many Street fighter players, you can really see it in his eyes in this interview, don't think he has had any sleep for some time

This is why he is the greatest Street Fighter player ever.

This is amazing. Thank you Air for translating this, I'm sure it wasn't easy! Amazing to get an insight into the thought process of one of the best. Inspiring for all FG players.

Great effort for bringing this interview with subtitles! Very interesting to hear how a player such as Daigo approaches the the game. Have to say though Japanese sure like to beat around the bush, instead of being direct :p

He's too polite and respectful to just admit "I am smarter and I have the best reactions in the FGC"

What's an interesting thing in his theory is that he has to perfectly block Akuma's move on wake up in order to make it work. That sounds the hardest.

20:55: Announcer tries to lower the volume, but R's hype cannot be lowered

thanks for translating really wanted to see

I miss your SF4-Ryu Air. I was looking for different Roos to learn from. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with Mike Ross in that 1 hour tutorial.

This is the best Street Fighter video. Every aspect of play described. Approach: research to discover an advantage, a strategy that exploits it, the tactics that support that strategy, and the skills I need to make the tactics work. Strategy: use Shakunetsu, Ultra and life total-based damage advantage to win. Tactics: Advance, jump forward and use air-to-air to keep meter-building fireballs safe and to stay out of the corner to maximize the ground-game advantage. Execution/skills to develop: jump from the perfect distance as defined by tactics. Be able to crouch when he crouches. Beautiful. Whole problem-solving model applies to life in general. Now all that stands between you and victory is hours of practice, a little luck... and whatever your opponent has thought of that you haven't. Which, in this case, wasn't a problem. :)

Awesome Air it's great to see Daigo's deep technical talk of the game, which is something he talks about a lot here.

Incredible strategy wow!!! This guy is truly legendary! Props to Infiltration as well, absolutely brilliant players!

Daigo seems like a cool guy to go drinking with. Then play SSFIV: AE drunk x3

Daigo is a mastermind of fighting games, he could be treating cancer, but he is doing this instead, not sure which is the best gain.

lol at the volume adjustment for the commentator when he yells

I know the subs were getting the gists but i like the way he mentions basics stuff but in some deep manner. only daigo could apply those advanced thought processes into a match. very nice

Air, what about translate the Daigo Book?

Thank you Daigo for being the best Ryu player of the world!

Thanks air!!!!!!! I have been seeing tokido post these videos!!

Daigo at 23:30 was like, "Don't do this shit right here, DON'T do what I did" xD

"Hiy. Ehhh. Hiy. Ehhhhh. Hiy. Ehhhh. Hiy. Ehhhh."

LMAO 2 minutes in, interviewer nicely introduces Daigo's book, perfect plug for Daigo, which didn't even take the time to promote, but when back to what he was saying about the match up LOL

HELL YEAH THANK YOU AIR, YOU'RE THE BEST!

Awesome work Air! Thanks a lot.

Thank you Air for translating this!

hai... hai... hmmm.... hai... hai... eeeeeh.... hai... hmmmm....

I'm glad I understand nihingo cause reading the subtitles would kill me. my romanji is awful. Domo

I think a lot of people will take this information away but will find themselves struggling to get the balance right. Don't forget, the reason why Daigo can afford to analyze a match in real-time with such depth, is because his Ryu is 100% under his control, meaning there is a lot less of his focus aimed at the character itself.

Thanks for the translation AIR. I hope his new gameplay style isn't implemented until after EVO'14 we need to see Daigo in another SF4 Grand Final. Curious to see what style of play it is though...

Thanks for translation.

His mindset and view is so different, it's crazy. Definitely a legendary fighting game player

Thanks Air and Daigo, ryu legends

thank you Air!!

you did amazing Air...so good...

daigo knew at what distance akuma could focus through ryu's fireball and hit him and kept his ryu dancing at that range and threw fireballs just beyond that range. that way he could bait infiltration to fa thru his fireball and whiff punish. that way he could limit infiltration's options in approaching his ryu on the ground and he could concentrate on catching infiltration when he tries to jump in. daigo also changed his fb game and avoided being predictable. infiltration read daigo almost perfectly at evo 2012.

WISDOM UPON WISDOM ALL HAIL DAIGO ALL HAIL THE STREET FIGHTER GOD

hai ehh haihai ehh haihai wtf

thanks for the translation!

thx for thetranslation!!!

you are awesome, Air :))

Thank you Air

Thank you!

thanks!

Wow, Daigo has a book out! Nice!!

This is why Street Fighter is literally one of the best games around, regardless of genre. The amount of forethought that can be implemented to circumvent difficult or seemingly impossible situations can actually pay off. The game has a depth and presence not really seen elsewhere. I don't stick with games for long, but with Street Fighter I've been playing it since it started. It never grows old, and it always feels good. Love gaming. Love Capcom. Absolutely love Street Fighter.

He is surprisingly buff. I thought he was a toothpick stick, but you can see he's worked out quite a bit.

The man's a living Legend...great tips! Annoying interviewer, lol.

awesome, tyvm

The interviewer is so intense loool

Good job Air

I'm not really sure how to define Daigo. The closest thing that comes to mind is a Rubics Cube.

Nice intreview, but thouse hai, eeeee, hmmmm....=)

👍🏻

thanks a lot.

im sure this guy is now a millionaire.God of All time

I had to download this because it was gone for a while

This man is a fcking legend!

This interviewer might be running one off to the Beast's greatness

The GOD has spoken

ty air

After watching this, i can only say that Daigo is the reincarnation of Mr Miyagi

when i see the eng sub in the comments . iclick and subs immediately.i think thats what everybody did.:) tnks air.

his best matches were against either momochi, mago, filipino champ's dhalsim, itabashi zangief , well mainly asian people lol

By the way, this is going to be similar to the conversation we had previously.

this guy is a crazy strategist. not a beast.

i got the beast signature on the 25th anniversary.. i can die happy now.

Focus attack is like juggernaut in marvel super heroes lol

"ehhhh...hai...ehhh" giving me asmr tinglies :3

yea...hes really good

I really tried to understand it, but without a good amount of demonstrations of what he is teaching, it gets very hard to grasp his explanation.

...the only thing I can think of right now is how ugly his shirt is...man...

Daigo is a solid dude… I wish him the best

i asking me if Daigo would starting playing BB what char would he choose

Daigo was exploiting that Akuma cannot get through EX Fireballs; with focus, ultra or any move except jumping in. Then the 'Red Focus' thing in USF4 will be a nightmare for him. xD

i wish someone could translate all comments below into japanese and send it to him, he would probably be very happy =)

I'm a ryu player myself and I never know what to do against Akuma

Have Daigo ever played infiltration with yun?

They should dumb it down and only have one attack button...

He's so fucking long winded. Is this a trait in japanese language or what? His lecture put me to sleep but I got the jist of how he approaches matches. Start from the basics. I love how he totally neutralized infiltrations vortex by walking forward and low jabs, simple and genius, he made the matchup look unfair in ryus favor.

lol 19:45 diago being sexually assaulted

So interesting they talking, like the world is gonna end because a big asteroid is gonna hit the earth and daigo telling really serious, we ned to put bomb on the asteroid like movie armaggedon hahaha. These japanese people so interesting.

For fucks sake the interviewer doing random "eeeh" "haihahia" "eeeh" sounds is so annoying D: Great video air btw!

28:29 daigo fart

Annoyed at interviewer kept on saying “Hay.”

Hai! eeeeeehh.... hai... ehhhhh

ehhhhh. ahhhhh. haihaihai.... uhhh....

jeez he likes to talk alot...

天

What’s the name of his book?

Is Tokido interviewing him?

he rambled forever gets redundant fast
