The scholarship he funded was actually "The NYU Game Center Evo Scholarship." Daigo put all the money he won back into the very community that he earned it from.
@@sheikhu1039 I believe the scholarship is for anyone who attends the school and plays on the video game teams, similar to a traditional athletic scholarship
the person that I admire so much... and just the kindness out of his own heart it's like how I feel for most people that treats me well. I always give my best no matter what, keep striving for what my goals are to achieve it with the greatest of Honor. and this is the guy who started it all for me. long live Daigo and his legacy will always carry on for many generations to come! and no matter what I will be the best as he is or better to carry on my legacy and to show people what I can prove to the world.
Most impressive how he holds it to his utmost importance to take his fights in tournaments serious to the bone like a real martial artist without becoming malignant or mischievous or anything as such, but just trying to give his best showing through the character he plays. Other players bring hype through a more laid-back attitude in their own ways, but without very special people like Daigo, the meaning and sincerity of the whole thing is endangered to get lost in self-display and showmanship. This is also why he should stick to his Ryu (even if he struggles due to Capcom messing up their game), because as long as there is no other character his heart is more drawn towards, winning/losing only matters in context of his self-expression through Ryu.
Omoshiroi desu! He followed his father's footsteps even though it does not look like. His father liked philosophy and martial arts and Daigo is a philosopher that plays martial arts games. A true genius, this is what people don't get, he's not there just putting hours and training, he thinks, he looks for purpose, he links life knowledges with the game, this guy is really The Beast.
A nice piece and definitely interesting to hear his philosophy on why he gives his all with professional play. You're a well-rounded person Daigo-san. Keep going and keep growing.
The last thing you want to hear from a person of old age, nearing the end of the life is regret, it's just so sad especially when you're at that stage of the life where you can't change it anymore.
Daigo became wise by looking after old people. He became more human imo. He didnt want to see fighting games as a pile of money. Just goes to show success isnt about how rich you are. Amazing
Im not know more bout Daigo back then. But recently i watch he play using Guile quite vulnerable.. But i think he challenge himself use difficult character, rather than e:g Ryu, Ken, Akuma.. But donate ur prize money for charity’s... he more than just a gamer. Mad respect!
eleague make videos wayyyy better than capcom. they should own Street fighter lol. just imagine how well edited a new character reveal would be it was edited by eleague :O
When Daigo's opponent expands, he contracts - when the opponent contracts, Daigo expands and when there is an opportunity, Daigo does not hit - it hits all by itself. Don't concentrate on the joystick or you will miss all that heavenly glory!
Really? I thought that was from the Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Either way, it's great. "The best opportunity to attack is when you know your opponent's frame data knowledge is a bit crap." "There is no Arcade Stick...."
He's kind of like any martial arts to worth his salt- super nice until it is time to go. He knows he is powerful. And from the looks of it, the whole family is like that. I wouldn't be surprised that even if average, that some of his family were yojimbo. He's also kinda like saitama a bit.
When sf1 came out my mom send me with $5 to buy her shampoo and spend it on street fighter 1989 Peter piper pizza arcade (got in big trouble lol!), It was an outlet for me because martial arts was and is my passion... God bless America and Japan...
The devil may wear prada, but the beast wears crocs.
So Daigo is sponsored by Crocs now?
+Kuro Shinko yeah last week?
Hahahaha!
Bought one because of this man. Lime green people where we at
POWER VIOLENT Are you color blind? lol
Umehara San's words are full of power and inspiration
the answer did lie in the heart of battle after all :)
Daigo Fan Forever
Gameinn Umehara awesome Umehara mii
2:04 This part... Thank you Daigo
Such a nice person... I can't believe that he donated $60,000 prize money to a scholarship at NYU. Such an amazing person and very humble.
The scholarship he funded was actually "The NYU Game Center Evo Scholarship." Daigo put all the money he won back into the very community that he earned it from.
@@TheSaltySailor I don't understand what they mean by Evo scholarship,is it a school for players?
@@sheikhu1039 I believe the scholarship is for anyone who attends the school and plays on the video game teams, similar to a traditional athletic scholarship
Isn't it that government would take all this money anyway as gaming for money is very restricted in Japan?
@@mokkorista taxes are a thing but nobody can just take his money for no reason
Thank you Daigo.
This is the kind of person that should be displayed as a PRO
Not like other half assed men, who dared to call themselves PROS
Fxck Pro... You mean "Legend"! Who else has their iconic match combo instilled in a game? I'll wait! Respect his tenure the right way!
60K dollars donated. Just wow. That define Daigo
Vireca he is ryu in person
@@SoleNero21 fun fact he accidentally recreated ryu’s ending
I'm a fan of Daigo, a great person and always the Beast!
He donated all that money! What a true person to his ideology.
Daigo looking hella blazed. Close to reaching the next stage on his voyage to Buddhahood.
I still cant believe he donated 60k to an entity that is 1000 times more well off than he is.
the person that I admire so much... and just the kindness out of his own heart it's like how I feel for most people that treats me well.

He sounds like a wise man lol his voice is calming.
When Daigo is "angry" after losing a round, he just scratches his eyebrows. He is the closest incarnation of the buddha bar the dalailama
go go go daigo i dont care if you lose i cheer 4 you

Meanwhile in the USA: "Look how many teabags I can do in a match!"
So true... Where's the samurai mentality?
so true

Our Lord and Savior with yet another magnificent preach!
Omoshiroi desu!

素敵なビデオです。なぜ梅原さんがそんな真剣のような 哲学をプロ.ゲーマーとして考えるのは面白かったです。
これからも成長して続けて下さい梅原さん。
The Lord, the savior, the BEAST!
No matter what happens to Daigo in tournaments, he will always be respected. Not even Punk has the audacity to teabag him.
Little Daigo is absolutely adorable.
My Favorite FG Player.
the most free FG play right now.
Japan is so cool
Daigo is so zen he doesn't know he is zen. He is like the Musashi of games.
A warrior with a kind heart . Wow , he donated his winnings from the Capcom 2015 Cup !
I'll just go ahead and say it! The GOAT in SF
more player profiles ! i love these !!
Liked this dude from day one. I will always be a Daigo fan.
The last thing you want to hear from a person of old age, nearing the end of the life is regret, it's just so sad especially when you're at that stage of the life where you can't change it anymore.
My favorite SF player
道は違えどこれぞ武士 かっこえぇ。。。
@1:47 daigo-chan looks really cool, like an anime character
First of all...yes, Daigo is The Man/Beast.
And second... FANTASTIC Tokyo footage. Love that place
He talks like a samurai. Like he's always thinking about how to win of what have you.
I am glad to see such man like him😭
Been waiting for this!
that boy daigo fresh 😎😎
Daigo is a beast with a good heart
1:50 crocs aye he also wears them not just me
Daigo became wise by looking after old people. He became more human imo. He didnt want to see fighting games as a pile of money. Just goes to show success isnt about how rich you are. Amazing
Baby Diago looks like grown up Yoshinori Ono
ウメさん横顔がお父さんにソックリ~!!
THE Umehara's face is similar to his dad.(ガバガバ英語)
the coins where everything when i had some i would go play at the arcade.... Boy it was everything gaming in the 90's at the arcade
I love you daigo
Such a great story
Im not know more bout Daigo back then. But recently i watch he play using Guile quite vulnerable.. But i think he challenge himself use difficult character, rather than e:g Ryu, Ken, Akuma..
But donate ur prize money for charity’s... he more than just a gamer. Mad respect!
1:47 oh my god...WHAT ARE THOSE?!
Kirby C those are called confidence
俺もうこれ何回みてんだろう
He seems like a cool guy in general
Senpai plz
Quiet down.
God bless Diego Umajuarez
oh man the moment evo # 37 still makes my blood boil.
He does not game. He is an enlightened being.
Anyone eles see the jacket lupe gave him thats Awsome man!
Beautiful
Hopefully he makes it to capcom cup this year. Want to meet the Beast at least once.
daigo is my idol
Daigo is a Metal Gear fan? Note the jacket on his wall @ 0:57. It is Eli's jacket from MGSV.
I thought I read somewhere that he doesn't even consider himself a "gamer." He ONLY plays fighting games.... that would be awesome!
its the jacket lupe fiasco gave him after their exhibition match
That was Lupe Fiasco's jacket that he personally gave to him at the end of their match up meeting they had the week that SFV launched.
Henry S. Ah, I figured it may have been a gift or simply decoration. Oh well.
this man wears crocs
it's not too uncommon in Japan, since people aren't as disrespectful and always trying to roast over there.
you mean the shoes he wear
wokstar he isn’t roasting him
Guys like Daigo and Justin Wong and are really the good guys and represent the fgc proper.
One I seriously got into Fighting games,Ryu
Uh..I mean Daigo was a pretty big inspiration.
DAIGO BEST PLAYER WORLD
Legend
He'll be back I'm sure.
If Daigo had an anime, i'd watch it. Actually, an FGC anime would be awesome
He has a manga. Close enough.
daigod!
It begun in EVO in 2004...
eleague make videos wayyyy better than capcom. they should own Street fighter lol. just imagine how well edited a new character reveal would be it was edited by eleague :O
Praise be~!
our lord and savior
what a determined man, he even donated usd 60k just to erase the stigma for himself that he's gaming only for money alone
He has no desire. All he has is a desire to be strong.
When Daigo's opponent expands, he contracts - when the opponent contracts, Daigo expands and when there is an opportunity, Daigo does not hit - it hits all by itself.
Don't concentrate on the joystick or you will miss all that heavenly glory!
Veritech Girl ??????

Daigo is the best, how we speak in Brazil: "Na moral ".
the goat
crocs+ daigo = the beast
was that the Lupe Fiasco's jacket at the beginning or a diffrerent one?
could be
thats a pro gamer for you
They should use his face for RYU
King of street fighter
So who is the Daigo of Pro Wrestling NES?
Praise be! Our lord and savior!
Make an Evil Ryu for this man NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ウメさーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーん!男だけど好き。
異性愛車だけどねw
daigo not scared of rocking sky blue crocs haha
He's kind of like any martial arts to worth his salt- super nice until it is time to go. He knows he is powerful. And from the looks of it, the whole family is like that. I wouldn't be surprised that even if average, that some of his family were yojimbo.
He's also kinda like saitama a bit.
