So freaking true! If it wasn't for him, I would've watched the stream on mute. His sense of humor is one of the best, his frame knowledge is just ridiculousness.. unbiased and very informative commentary ! Zhi for EVO !!!
I've gotta say the commentary and the whole set were equally godlike. I enjoyed the whole thing. Knowledgeable and unbiased commentating, I saw things I've never seen before, close exciting set, Daigo and Xian respecting each other and giving their all, it seriously couldn't be any better unless the set reset so there would be more fighting
This has to be one of the best and most entertaining sets I've ever seen. Never thought Gen would be a part of it. Haha. Really looking forward to seeing Daigo and Xian at Evo.
What a fucking spectacle. This was incredible. This year's EVO is going to absolutely BURN!!!! Many props to Xian. I'm very happy for him now that he's starting to earn major titles more frequently. And this battle was even like I hadn't seen in ages.
zhi, you are way too gdlk. holy. shit. . i mean, this was some of the best gameplay i've seen... and the commentary was just as entertaining as the gameplay.
Damn his gen is awesome and learning gen in my opinion is a true testament to dedication next to learning viper the most technical characters in the damn game kudos to both but HUGE shouts to xian man
Desde que o Xian largo o Yun ele se dedico tanto ao Gen que o Gen dele fico bom demais. Sempre gosto de ver as partidas dele e espero que ele se qualifique bem alto no EVO!
Great matches and i'm now excited for evo! Hell I might even start playing again. P.s. It isn't a good tournament till the mikes cut out at some point.
that looks like gackt behind xian encouraging him. Gackt before he became relatively known in the Street fighter world now. He alreayd made his mark now all he has to do is surpass the other Fei long players like Fuudo and Mago and then be the best SF player surpassing infiltration.
Half full, half empty. Depends on perspective, i guess, but Zhi admits he's not as strong as these two players earlier in the set. But he thoroughly enjoys a good match and he wants to see these two play their best. Keep in mind, Zhi is just commentating. And in my personal opinion, good commentary helps us delve into the minds of the players, and understand the weight and gravity of each move the players have taken, which i think adds a ton of drama and excitement to the match.
daigo used ryu against xian earlier and got knocked into losers bracket. he did intend to use ryu but thought he could try something new against xian's gen. i still love his guile though but xian knew the match up really well
Yeah, you may say "Daigo let Xian win 'cause he didn't chooce Ryu at the start", but overconfincence is a fact that afects the battle too, even if it can't be meassured... but on top of that... Gen is my main and I like to see it can be a top tier character! awww yeah!
i respect himr for using the option of counterpicking especially in AE 2012 your saying that because you saw the video but what if his performance was better with the other character you wouldve said differently and pros have told guile beats gen it was just matchup inexperience dont see why people bash him on counterpick i thinks its totally viable in AE 2012
yeah it was that quick. Daigo won one match with ryu and the previous dominate matches from Gen don't exist anymore. "Daigo has such great defense" daigo has 25% health left and Gen has like 95%.
You can, all you have to do when you have a little extra time on your hands is just watch guys like these in the videos and just try your best to mimic what they do for combos and strategy in a training mode. Then, maybe when you feel comfortable enough with whatever character that you're using try to utilize what you've learned from the masters against other people online or locally. You know, whatever floats your boat.
Zhi has a point. I'd rather be a part of a respectful fgc. Theres a reason why the level of play is generally higher in east asia. They arent hostile towards each other.
daigo is amazing, i love xian's gen but if Daigo did use Ryu the whole way Daigo, i feel, would have won but Daigo is such a great sport - building up to his character from Yun to Guile to RYU. Daigo, in my mind, is still the best =)
