SSF4 AE: Daigo Umehara (Yun) vs Infiltration (Akuma) - NCR 9 (Grand Finals)

@NexonPlayerNA 11 years ago

The two most technically skilled, mentally patient and durable players I've ever seen. Great match.

Great match, Daigo's yun is so amazing. He always spaces his dive kicks perfectly to make them safe. I don't understand how he does it.

It's not about emotion, it is about total concentration. In a game where the press of a button in the right 60th of a second can win or lose a match you really need it.

3:27 is pure genius

I really like how focused the announcer is.

Still fun to watch 😁

Completely agree. Regardless of Nerfs or buffs his reaction timing and his knowledge on akumas game play has gotten insanely ridiculous. He hits the Wrath of the Raging Demon faster than anyone else i've ever seen so far.

It's a non-zero-frame grab that can only work as a punish for very specific situations, and it's so goddamn punishable. It doesn't need nerfing.

one of the best fights I've seen

@DRaGZ141 11 years ago

For Yun it's like 4-6, mainly because Yun can keep applying pressure for almost no cost and Akuma's usually running-away tactics don't work. You have to start the vortex on Yun RIGHT AWAY to make sure Yun won't win. Vs. Cammy, it's pretty much about who gets the first knockdown, and Cammy has a much easier time getting a hard knockdown on Akuma than Akuma on Cammy.

We can argue everything that Daigo didn't sleep well or that he didn't eat enough during breakfast but at the time, Daigo was either #1 or #2 best Yun at the time so if he's having problems, I'm sure other Yuns would have it too if not worse. I think it's a fair comparison to say the least with Daigo vs Infiltration since both of them are top players and both are the top if not close to it for their respective characters.

Daigo makes any character seem top tier. Put Ryu you Daigos hands and he is the best in sf4. Put Ryu in Alex Valle hands and you just get an above average pro. His decision making and handling under pressure is what seperates Daigo from mere mortals.
