evo is a souless corporate husk now. Where it used to be a grassroots comp made by the FGC for the FGC. Now its just done to sell chipoltle or whatever crap advertisement they shill.
Whenever I read the comments under Evo videos, half of them are like "sure, X won, but in reality he sucks; I mean he never won again hahaha" Isn't that a major part of the appeal of Fighting Games, though? You can't just "be good" and always win. Even Daigo has to always keep fighting to keep winning. And at various points in time, different people deserve to win. I wish people could get over their collective favoritism and just enjoy the competition.
Actually, it is a very interesting debat, because I'm what you can call an "athlete" (In international competition). And by my experience, you can show your satisfaction without being disrespectful. He didn't even shake his hand with Daigo, for example. Really, the aspect of "showing your satisfaction" does'nt bother me. It's his attitude who does.
He literally meant you didn't finish your question. You don't end a sentence with "or". And the reason is because he is a citizen of the USA, and he decided to represent USA. He is of Saudi Arabia background but he's been representing the states for a while now.
@DanielCanoVirus well i dont know exactly cuz im from mexico not from the states, now back here in mexico what happened to me i had to attend like 10 tournaments and i won 8 in one of them they came to me and asked some questions like if street fighter was the only fighting game i played i said no i played KOF MK MVC CvS Tekken Blazblue almost all fighting games, then i had to audition in those games with pro players and i did pretty good so that was it they said ok u r good enough.
I agree with you, the only one humiliated was himself, but he did that IN ORDER TO humiliate Daigo... The is the only reason why I wanted Daigo to win...
i knew who poongko was before 2011 and the people that say he is shit/overrated etc have no clue. Street fighter is not the only fighting game he is good at.
@MetalheadSen Yes I certainly think so. However, it does not mean that it was the ONLY factor. I know very well that he was outplayed too. So that's two contributing factors to his loss, that I already know. And as for low health, people need to stop with that argument. A fighter can have low health but what difference does it make if they can EASILY beat up on and confuse their opponents without much effort from the player at all? THAT makes fighters cheap. Not necessarily the damage output.
@MrSav4life what r u talkin about daigo has a quite experience against seth, never had trouble beatin him with his ryu along with poongko, and he did not dropped ryu cuz yun is A+ tier he dropped him bc he was asked to by his sponsors.
33:04 Puungku: *Pose* Kore Wa Messatsu! Shoushi! *Ten Symbol appears on back* I can't believe I missed all this hype ass shit back in the day! I'm TRASH!
@MFCirca Nope like they said Seth is not popular is japan, daigo had no idea how to play against him which is why he lost. Look at it any way you want, daigo had no chance against poongko =/
@MrSav4life no no dont get me wrong i wanted poongko to win he has improve graetly this last year, and the best character in the game is fei long some even say he is S tier, i know this cuz a im a pro player aswell i`ve played against all of them except for wolfkrone which im lookin forward to face cuz im a pad player too
@hongeeee Yeah he better get Ryu. The showcased matches with Daigo losing pretty much proves one thing....that he and most other players like him, need those magic hadoukens and shoryukens. So for his sake I'd say he would need to get Ryu too. ha ha ha ha
@Lionsblood LOL, you think the best player in the world, Daigo, who won multiple tournaments on the EVO tournament season, did not win because he needs Ryu and his moves? He lost because he was outplayed. That's all. Daigo has lost tournaments before with Ryu. He was outplayed then too. And you think Yun, the unanimously declared top character in this game, is not as cheap as Seth, the character with the lowest health in the game? Please, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Viper's most powerful version (ex seismo was like the perfect reversal) combined with the fact that most people had absolutely no idea how to actually fight against her at the time. So the people who were grinding her since day 1 had a big advantage. Ironically after this EVO you'd see way less viper representation in top 8's because it encouraged people to figure out how to deal with her. For example latif's next appearance would be in an exhibition against tokido where latif got literally 0 wins despite being the same guy who got second place at evo and also beating tokido at that same evo.
I think Poongko begged Daigo to let him win. Poongko : Please Daigo !! lemme beat u plzzzz Daigo : WHY ?? Poongko : I'll let u jiggy-jiggy with my GF if u lemme win Daigo : Huhmmm?! Go on then Poongko : Ty , Ty
2011, still the best Evo to date for SF4. Let's hope 2013 can bring the hype this year.
CharmingRogue hopfully
I miss when evo was like this. So many beers were chugged and side bets were made.
not understanding what you mean. EVO is still like that
Maybe bc of covid? But idk since I’m not into sfv
Instablaster.
evo is a souless corporate husk now. Where it used to be a grassroots comp made by the FGC for the FGC.
Now its just done to sell chipoltle or whatever crap advertisement they shill.
This was like the attitude era of the FGC lmao
Thank you sooo much for posting this! The atmosphere in that place is amazing!
3rd time viewing ^_^
Love it

EVO was so intense last year!! Ready for 2012!
The Daigo vs Punco was so much hype
Tokido has lost so much weight from this, the guy is so awesome xD These were the times :D
Actually, SSF4 at evo 2013 was amazing. I really enjoyed it. After the big letdown of 2012, we needed this.
Gotta love how whilst Poongko is doing all that showboating, Daigo is like "Damnit, i cant reach the USB insert".
The word of the day is PERFECT!
Daigo vs. Poongko what a legendary match
daigo my favorite player for EVER
double ko's are so hype
Ah 480p. The gentlemans resolution
the SF4 collectors edition stick is really good and made with really good parts in
6:10 for first match
The roar of the crowd right after that EVO intro... Oh my god, this community is awesome.
I love it when my favorite character wins Go Fei_Long.
I'm pretty neutral when watching these matches, but once that USA chant starts up I immediately wish for the non-US player to win to shut them up.
~ 55:00 Feilong vs Seth were the craziest set of matches in the entire vid.
Can't wait for EVO '13 Hope to see another great tournament!
major respect for wolfkrone with the ps3 pad!
watched this 4x alreadly lol great upload :D
one more week to evo 2k12!!!

Nothing wrong with being excited.
I wish Daigo won... He is so like respectful, and Poongko so proud of himself...
He literally meant you didn't finish your question. You don't end a sentence with "or".
And the reason is because he is a citizen of the USA, and he decided to represent USA. He is of Saudi Arabia background but he's been representing the states for a while now.
WHOA! outstanding virus! thanks man!
hehe, like it when they're talking about the, up to that point, unknown fuudo... which drastically changed after evo one might say :D
55:40 great back dash punish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@DanielCanoVirus well i dont know exactly cuz im from mexico not from the states, now back here in mexico what happened to me i had to attend like 10 tournaments and i won 8 in one of them they came to me and asked some questions like if street fighter was the only fighting game i played i said no i played KOF MK MVC CvS Tekken Blazblue almost all fighting games, then i had to audition in those games with pro players and i did pretty good so that was it they said ok u r good enough.
madcatz te fightstick. it's the only one u'll ever need.
i actually tried to do a shoryu motion on my tongue on the side of my cheek and it's so hard
Parabéns fuudo vc e o verdadeiro Bruce Lee dos games. ..
...He was pointing out that you didn't finish your question. 'maybe because he came from there or ?'
But Seth IS one of the best characters in the game. Tons of options and priority.
That last round of the first match was incredible. Goddamn, I wish I'd discovered this community sooner.
I agree with you, the only one humiliated was himself, but he did that IN ORDER TO humiliate Daigo... The is the only reason why I wanted Daigo to win...
What a great EVO
i knew who poongko was before 2011 and the people that say he is shit/overrated etc have no clue. Street fighter is not the only fighting game he is good at.
Latif!
They wouldn't be, they would be being respectful amd professional.
thank you this was great!!!
@MetalheadSen Yes I certainly think so. However, it does not mean that it was the ONLY factor. I know very well that he was outplayed too. So that's two contributing factors to his loss, that I already know. And as for low health, people need to stop with that argument.

Thanks for the upload!

Puungku: *Pose* Kore Wa Messatsu! Shoushi! *Ten Symbol appears on back*
I can't believe I missed all this hype ass shit back in the day! I'm TRASH!
What is this, Yun and Viper simulator?
greatest fucking thumbnail.
i actually meant the shoryu pose in the beginning of this video
Crazy hype!!!!
LOL at the guy yelling shoryuken hahaha
nice thx for upload
whoa..
and got sponsorship not too long ago actually im talking about not more than five months ago
LMAO Tokido in 2011 looks so nerdy.
Latif 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wow wolfkrone was using a controller! he's my hero!!
'poongko is now the adopted son of the us'
They often cheer for the people representing, but not the country itself.
One day i'm going to make it in the audience live!
can someone upload this in 720p with good audio?
Is there a "full" version of the intro music remix? D:
is Daigo already using the red version of the Street Fighter x Tekken fightstick?
Dude Marvel was hype as fuck. The Wong factor came into full effect.
@MFCirca Nope like they said Seth is not popular is japan, daigo had no idea how to play against him which is why he lost. Look at it any way you want, daigo had no chance against poongko =/
"Atari logo" Seth plz
To me eyes, you can be excited, but only if you don't do that to humiliate your opponant...
whats wrong wit gief? hes actually a very smart character at high level. he gets blown up for lack of mobility
What a Viper player! I loved this match
next friday!!!
how do you play with those controllers man i would get an unexplainable ass kick using those controllers...
u can use seth in competitions? i thought he was a broken character?
God save the queen
@MrSav4life no no dont get me wrong i wanted poongko to win he has improve graetly this last year, and the best character in the game is fei long some even say he is S tier, i know this cuz a im a pro player aswell i`ve played against all of them except for wolfkrone which im lookin forward to face cuz im a pad player too
If Daigo played more arcade mode, he could have beaten this Seth.
POONGKO!!!!!!! POONGKO!!!!!!!!! POONGKO!!!!!!!
Does anyone have any reccomendations for a good fightstick? im looking for arcade box style
I thought wolfkrone was a new player. lol. evo 2011 damn,.
@hongeeee Yeah he better get Ryu. The showcased matches with Daigo losing pretty much proves one thing....that he and most other players like him, need those magic hadoukens and shoryukens. So for his sake I'd say he would need to get Ryu too. ha ha ha ha

I know right!?
Poongko so cocky haha hes awesome
Why were there so many vipers this year compared to the rest?
Viper's most powerful version (ex seismo was like the perfect reversal) combined with the fact that most people had absolutely no idea how to actually fight against her at the time. So the people who were grinding her since day 1 had a big advantage.

If you like MvC3 tourneys, look up ageojoe/kurosou vs yipes. Probably the most silent and awestruck you will ever see an american audience.
When did Mauro Ranallo start commentating Evo's?
yup, maybe that :P
this gaming jargon, ''hail mary'' what does it mean???
daigo dilikes this
I'm sure the only person he humiliated was himself lol. Still, it's all in fun.
Who dashes foward and uppercuts divekicks? lol
1:28 to the actual video
I think Poongko begged Daigo to let him win.
Poongko : Please Daigo !! lemme beat u plzzzz
Daigo : WHY ??
Poongko : I'll let u jiggy-jiggy with my GF if u lemme win
Daigo : Huhmmm?! Go on then
Poongko : Ty , Ty
mother of God!!!!!!!!!! Poongko
is that seth on commentary?
12:02 - Dr.Dre has entered the ring.
where do these stream from?
oh takito
I assume he was born in Saudi Arabia but moved to America and is now an American citizen.
