@@99superjesus Valle's frametrap When he just stood there for Daigo's wake up was all tension. "What are you going to do!?", and he goes for a grab. Smart, but Daigo caught on.
Bit late to the party but things can be appreciated but also boring. Nothing wrong with boring as such, it was tense stuff. But also somewhat repetitive and boring..
just came back to watch this match again and i see my comment from 2 years ago. I think that there are "boring" parts of this match, but i think that is what makes this match so exciting. (almost) every fireball thrown has a risk associated to it. They are showing their opponent at what they are willing to bite at, and what risks they are willing to take. The "boring" parts set the stage for the big reads later in the match.
@@joqqeman i think because you might not understand what was happening in this match it goes deeper than pushing buttons and being repetitive. Like Boxing and Tennis. This match right here was high in mental games. Countering, timing, patience and adjustments all in mere seconds reading the man not the game.
OH MY GOD THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS Those rounds ALONE had me jumping out of my chair. I haven't even gotten past the first match but I can already tell this game was the highlight of the tournament.
I think this is probably my favourite high-level match I've ever watched for SSF4, which I find really odd as I gave up Ryu as my main because I got bored of him. But THESE guys...! Man! What an incredible match!
Daniel Masterson honestly it gets much more hate than it deserves because it’s not SF4. It’s SF5 for a reason it’s not meant to be a replica of 4, people need to move on so they can actually appreciate the game
never saw this match. ultradavid mentioned it on the podcast SRK was bumping. never really played competitively but this is really putting alot in perspective in terms of "its not just punching, kicking and fireballs"
I just started practicing Street Fighter. After years of getting my ass kicked by my brothers and not knowing where I was going wrong, it's great to finally understand, to a certain extent, what players are doing. This is definitely the best match I've seen, and Alex Valle is my favorite. West Coast!
Daigo and Valle, this was where all began. 15 years ago. 15 years later, Valle said to Daigo "you are the best Ryu in the world". from 2 young boys to 2 grown up men, i think at this point, Valle is going to fade away from tournys. cuz there is nothing for him to prove, and 1 final battle with Daigo, a perfect Ryu mirror match, and a tearful ending.
@Beecels I think I know the answer to this one already, but I think I should ask anyways: How many and which fighting games development process(es) have you been involved in?
Best Ryu mirror match I have ever seen. Who can hate on Daigo's and Valle's performance?! These two know how to put on a great show for the crowd. Just like watching a pro wrestling match. Or a great boxing match.
Two of the best Ryu players in the world....going at it against each other. Hell these two have been playing against each other since back in Alpha 2 days... Just goes to show you two things 1. An old dog can learn new tricks 2. Rivalries never really go away
No matter how many characters in street fighter are, the real fundamentals are shown when it comes to a Ryu VS Ryu mirror match. Both of these guys can keep fighting each other and I can watch like all day long.
Ryu mirror I've seen apart from this one is Momochi vs Daigo back when they both played in Arcade (Vanilla) FT5. Momochi was blue ryu and Daigo in traditional colours. It is on lordaborgine's channel
