Hi. I was one of the U.S. 3s reps sent to SBO this year. I visited big box, and saw them play. So yes, I saw these two play in person. Ricky O. also told me Daigo couldn't get very large streaks, he kept getting knocked off the machine.
i remember one more player, and that was uryo, the only viper player to achieve the grandmaster class in japan with his data card. it was in an exhibition match in some place called 'the god's garden'.
@sanpit: the SRK FADC into Ultra is a standard Ryu move. nothing psychic about it. In fact, Daigo tried to start the combo several times in this video but they were blocked each time, resulting in him getting countered.
@Xytos You can cancel the shoryuken holding Focus Attack(MP+MK), Dash Cancel your Focus animation, thus FADC. You can tell the Ryu FADC'ed because the character becomes a bright yellow an instant after the shoryuken hit. Sorry to say no glitch or luck. They coined such a tactic, Ume-Shoryu for a reason.
@Azatis I think that events like EVO and others around world, give pretty much of an oportunity to all those "talents". But, if they got out from the preliminars, I really doubt they can beat him. Daigo has been champion for almost a decade (no one can't deny he fought for the place he is now) and that's the reason why he deserves it. If some "super talented" player wants the same spot, we should see it around Street Fighter VI or VII, when he or she had already achieved the same.
@Xytos There is NO such thing as luck in fighting games. Well... extremely few circumstances such as in SF2 Boxers dodging punch. Frames and inputs do exactly what they're supposed to.
THIS. and like the commentator on evo said...theres no player as dangerous as daigo with 2 ex meters and full ultra meter,cause he can combo into it from allmost every position ^^
Great argument *Clap clap clap* Actually, that's what I think. I won't say you AREN'T one of the intelligent ones, I'm more or less saying I doubt you are. Though, I will say this, nice user pic, I love Megaman Legends. Underrated
47 Hours hahahahah mann ur onit for some one like me who plays 4 hrs depends on the day or moreeee we need to take a test which one is better me vs u u got psn wat isit pm me
Dude, he didn't even do anything to earn his win. All he did was use an Ultra and that's it. That's the ONLY reason he won. Had he not had an ultra, he would have lost. Why? Cause all it takes to defeat Daigo is make sure you don't land into his ultra combo and rush him down at the same time. That's why Shiro was able to whoop his ass with Abel. He USE to be a beast, now he's a fucking disgrace to fighting games. This game fucking sucks.

a translation on what they say about the fight is an awesome idea. Can't wait for it
This video is awesome! I never seen a Viper player that good!

2:22 frame-trap and back-dash punish?
That shoryuken dash cancel is pretty slick.
I just want to know how much a professional gamer plays a day...
@Xytos
its called an FADC into Ultra. its 2011 dude, where have you been?
@ClumzyRice Why google it when I saw it in person?
Even he was like..FUUCCCCKK...THAT was close!!!
Anyone know what happened to Tokyo Joe? Did he go the way of Nuki?
he also played Akuma before but changed to Ryu
That Viper was nothing to sniff at, excellent play by both guys!

notice how he didn't spam fireballs this match...he adapts well
Daigo Umehara is THE KING of Street Fighter he'll take on ANYONE!!!
@IVFADE2BLACKVI yeah it's sad he left. Who's the new C.Viper "Joe"
How long do you play a day?
Me too, i do favour Ryu. Except in the 3rd strike like you and in Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting. But Ken still a very good character, of course.
When Viper grabs you, it sounds like she says fuck me. With rage. Just listen.
it looked like Joe started playing around, using up his suoer gauge for nothing. Anyone that can play with C. Viper effectively is a true beast.
so srk fc ultra is not nice?
tell me bout it!
You're the nicest person I've ever met. : P
Were they casual matches? If they were I doubt Daigo would care if he lost
R.I.P Jiraiya-sensei
Joe paved the way for every Viper player including myself.
cant really blame him, look at what ppl picks at the tournaments, like 20 yun's, 50 chun li's and like 3 ken's
that was great daigo that crimson viper has hella good moves all around and you still beat it
ummmm, i think he's crazy. did u see the shoryuken at 2:31? that was totally psychic man. I'm sure it was a setup, but still too brilliant
great match
Daigo RETURNS
Having recently beaten the WORLD'S BEST (including a 4-0 whitewash of the U.S. Champion)
C. Viper had some awesome combos, honestly thought Joe was gonna win that one.
whos Ruy
Why does Daigo look confused
But you're being so nice to me, how can I not? D:

Except that in the last 80 matches they've played Daigo has a 59-21 record against him. Check Mago's blog. Head to head Daigo is better at this point.
Casual and tournament. Daigo is the best 'overall' player, but he's not the best 'SF4' player. That would be Mago.
i'm maining Viper right about now. its easier to counter. she's not an offensive character.
Holy magicarp gaiz! a ryu player on PSN!?!?!?! This guy is srs bizniz.
Wrong, there are a TON of people in Japan that beat him. When I was in Japan he was getting fucked up by a lot of 'random' people.
Cviper is not that low in the tiers
Mago was beat by Iyo, so then what?
i was replying to ur first comment. i no mago is better than daigo. and i doubt u saw it in person
daigo can you make the trials for me !! lol
The Beast!!
he always played ryu... only was ken in 3s
Not as far as anyone knows :P
lucky for him he wasn't fighting a sagat they spam tiger blast
wow... that cviper should've won that second round!
Great argument *Clap clap clap* Actually, that's what I think. I won't say you AREN'T one of the intelligent ones, I'm more or less saying I doubt you are. Though, I will say this, nice user pic, I love Megaman Legends. Underrated
ALL HAIL DAIGO!!!
damnit, joe's c. viper almost had it and funk it....
@De4dEyE is that why he wins over 90% of his matches? If you dont believe me, then google it
psn leaderboards and xbl big difference.... big freaking difference... PSN destroys XBL leaderboards.
Viper is an offensive character (.)
wtf? he played ryu in ST
why does he always blink his eyes? soo rude and weird.
47 Hours hahahahah mann ur onit for some one like me who plays 4 hrs depends on the day or moreeee we need to take a test which one is better me vs u u got psn wat isit pm me

And you ain't nothing because you haven't beaten nothing! [^ ^]
Fuck! C.Viper is wiley!
@Azatis only noobs take tier lists seriously.
omg daigo hacks!!!
daigo is a zombie tbh
ryu is the most annyoing person in the game
Bleh. I thought C. Viper was gonna win. Bleh.
Lol keep dreaming my freind if u never owned a computer game what makes you think u can beat me hahah and ryu it is my player so dnt even talk
