Couple years ago, Alex Valle walked into my bar. A relaxing, dimly lit, tropical atmosphere in a Tiki bar and without skipping a beat after greeting customers entering the small intimate setting of our bar as I usually do, I recognized him and blurted out, "Mr. Street Fighter himself is in my bar?!" It gave him a chuckle, and I bought him and his friend their first round. Random, but sometimes I think about that.
it's awesome that you could show him the appreciation with the greatest of ease
@@Kelberoth Definitely! I'm not one for celebrity frivolities, and I'm not pro gamer by any means, but an avid fan of the FGC community nonetheless, and I recognize greatness where it's due. That guy (along with many others) practically paved the way for pro gaming for what it is today and I love that. I think any kid who grew up in the 90's playing video games loves to see where games have gone and the community in it.
thank you for the drinks, you were very kind!
@@AlexValle714 my man! Any time! 😁
@@Theimmortalwill this is so wholesome I swear. 10/10 review, would read again
Ryan Hart said it best:
"There's good matches, there's great matches....
and then there's f*cking Alex Valle vs Bonchan"
"Doesn't Sagat beat grapplers?" Good thing he didn't try a SINGLE command grab lmao
You forgot about the running command grab at the start of the 2nd match 😶🌫
The simple fact that Alex not once used Hugos normal or EX Press is what led to this win. Bonchan was constantly on the watch and whenever Alex was too close he would jump back expecting the command grab. That's also why he got caught by the meat squasher in the opening of the second match. Sometimes a grappler characters strongest ability is to leave the fear of the command grab and not use it.
8:40
Alex Valle actually talked about this set before in an interview. He said in this situation he wanted to bait the jump by threatening command grab, thats why he just sat there, he was trying to react to a jump. Apparently it was something he did alot with a ton of success. He truly postulated Bon Chans possibilities
What a legend
i love how a single spd was never thrown
Still crazy how Valle beat Bonchan with a move that he never used even once
Underrated comment. Here’s my like, brother.
i remember this live everyone was so hype. a bad match up turned into the best sagat at the time being bodied
Oh man SMUG reacting to USF4 famous matches, this gonna be a good day
Yo Phoenix Wright is a fan of Smug??? That's new for me lol
One of the most memorable fights in the history of SFIV. Insane props to Valle! People were shocked at how easily he dominated a supposed 3-7 matchup.
I was working at a bar when this match happened. I was upset I had to work that evo weekend. So I kept making excuses to step outside. Pretty sure my co-workers thought I was on drugs. I happned to step out right at the Character select and saw Alex pick Hugo and thought "Why?! I have to watch this." I was screaming inside my car phone in hand. One of the only matches not top 16 that I got to see live.
valle spent the entire game making him think his jump backs was safe then exposed it
Hugo has been my fav for a minute. Yeah hes hard to use but that elbow to the face is so satisfying after a hard day at work
This was the peak hype for ultra and mvc3. I remember watching this. I think this is the moment infiltration downloaded the Hugo strat and went on to use it at Canada Cup.
Hey SMUG, I wanted to say thanks for the advice you gave me a few weeks ago in your community tab.
thanks to you, I finally made it to Silver rank. it ain't much but I ain't hard stuck anymore. it's only up from here thanks to you
Congrats my guy. Don't let anyone dim your shine. Making it up the ranked ladder is more than a notion. You've done well.
Congratulations!
The commentators went to angry and confused to riding his meat 😂
Thank you!! I requested this a couple of months ago. Keep excelling at greatness!
Watched it live on stream. Got up and kicked my chair and woke up the neighbors. Dang timezones.
Bro I love how hype Smug gets for this match. Man, if you were watching this live you were even more excited cause you had no idea what was coming. One of the greatest SF4 matches to this day. Love Valle.
he was clearly baiting that jump since the beginning and never really punishing it on purpose. it was a setup the whole time
I love this match. Come back to it every now and then.
Homie, you broke down this classic match with the greatest of ease. I'd love to see more.
This set is pretty legendary, I popped off hard when it happened
These are the videos I would watch back in the day when I would look for Smug videos till I found your channel lol
I love seeing stuff like this! It’s like when Rangchu won the Tekken EVO tourney as Panda. Absolutely amazing!!
Oh man I remember those claps. Hugo was out there making The Hulk look weak. Watching these matches again brings a soothing wave of nostalgia and all around better times. Back when me and da boiz treated EVO like most people treat The Super Bowl.
The reason Alex knew Bonchan would jump in the final round was because he'd hit Bonchan multiple times with triple claps, so he only did 2 claps and antecipated Bonchan would jump to try to escape from the third. That's when he just dashed and Megaton Pressed him to oblivion. He wasn't reading Bonchan's mind, he was PROGRAMMING it. Bonchan looked like a flawlessly programmed Java app.
This whole evo has a ton of great matches over all the games. Prolly my favorite evo I’ve ever watched.
When I was a shorty back in the 90s I would read EGM mag and see the results of some "California" gaming tournament and always see the name "Alex Valle" in no less than 3rd place. I was like who the hell is Alex Valle? And since when did gaming tournaments exist?! 😂 We didnt have any tournaments like that in Chicago back then. But I never forgot that name because it always came up.
Edit: I think it was GamePro mag.
same
Valle is why I played Hugo in SF4! I loved watching his stream. This match was so hype!!!
Saw this match when it happened. Was so good. I love Valle's Hugo.
At 9:02 when he said "Right there, you gotta guess". I felt that so hard. 😭
Thank you for this throwback, definitely one of the best match in sf4 history !!
It's always really annoyed me that no one seems to have addressed James and Skisonic's comments regarding Valle "dropping his combos". It seems obvious to me that he was ending the combo early in the hope Bonchan would be holding up back and he was pumping for Ultra 2. He tries it a few times throughout this match and landed it at least once.
Listen, when you're watching the world's best Sagat and one of the finest modern Street fighter players in the world being trounced by an old man's pocket Hugo, it's understandable that the commentators aren't gonna get that right in the moment whilst being confronted by pure sexual energy.
It's not worth being annoyed over, we all know how good Valle is.
@@Giraffinator Hey! I'm an "old man", I take offense to that statement lol also yeah, annoyed probably too strong a word, just meant never seen or heard anyone acknowledge it and was hoping Smug would pick up on it to be honest
@@Giraffinator "pure sexual energy" 😂
@@protonjones54 Yeah what was the source of such energy? I need to find it so I can harvest it to boost my commentator's career.
Looking back you can see what he was doing but live it's a whole dif thing.
The Gagapa vs Infexious set was legendary too
This was a good choice of match for you. Your reactions are awesome.
Yoo you need to revisit more of these classic USF4 matches man
My inspiration. Thank you lord Alex Valle ✊💙
I needed that to start my day
Hi smug. Greetings from Perú. I like your reaction to final between pr balrog and infiltration on ncr 2014 I think. When he won.
Surprised you haven't showed this yet! It gave me goose bumps when I first saw it.
Nah why the announcer had the only fightgasm when Valle landed that last super lmfao
Valle is always hype, loved his Evo24 Twelve gameplay. It was absolutely cracked. Ofc Twelve ain't in the winning bracket but it was so cool.
Bonchan is my hero. But Mr.Streetfighter is a living legend, and one must always remember to respect the classics.
Alex Valle not only played flawlessly, but also dumped all the pressure of winning on his oponent by picking a character that was suposed to be the rock to his paper. Only this rock was too heavy for that paper to hold.
Yo off topic, that sweatshirt dope AF. Where did you get that at???
This is good stuff Smug!
Hey smug, why are you holding a ken player in your arms in this video??
great match to look back on, fun video
10:07 Sagat: "Aw Shit, Here We Go Again..."
Legendary fight. This was real Evo!
I remember watching Alex play t hawk versus Chun-Li and every time he did a low fierce he would say panty grab panty grab panty grab LOL
6:08 is a straight brass balls maneuver
Yo smug, arrow keys on TH-cam to go back and forth 5 seconds, J and L keys for 10 seconds
Tokido made the best match in the history of KOFXIII in Brazil against Kléber Yagami at TretaArmagedon in 2012.
It was the best in Japan, against Brazilian hope!
I need to see Smug reaction to Daigo vs momochi at stunfest, or the whole Evo 2015 top 8
Bro maybe you can explain the technical aspect in details, like why people despise to even use Hugo when he was such a big problem in SF4 (as Alex proved it)? Like isn't it possible Hugo be mad spam clapping the entire match even? I look forward to your tech analysis bro.
Japan players: Hugo is pretty low tier.
USA, led by Alex Valle at the front: He's alright actually.
For real though, they discounted hugo so quickly and I love seeing them absolutely get punished for it.
The next match I want to see your reaction on is Infiltration VS PR Balrog, "the Hakan come back" from EVO 2013.
Sagat Knew he messed up lmaooo. 8:15
Man was just like . Ohh no what the heck was that lol.
You gotta do a review on John Choi vs daigo at evo. Art filmed it that match was legendary.
Don't jump to Hugo Bonchan don't jump.... Great vídeo smug 😃
Valle is my favorite of all time of the old generation. By far.
Love Uncle Valle.
Also love the respect you obviously have for him.
What's the lateset console this game got ported too?
this is the match that made me start using hugo so fuckin sick
Man I love smug and alex valle and bonchan
How about Daigo vs. Momochi @ Stunfest, or PR Balrog vs. Infiltration @ EVO
No Smug, you are the ultimate GOAT!!!
Daigo vs Arturo was another legendary SF4 match. You should do that next.
Why is he holding a moki?
I’ve definitely heard of him but I ain’t know he was like this lmao. Simply just knew the matchup
Did smug move setups or what?
Been subbed for 3yrs best 3yrs since haven't changed it probably never will
8:12 Bonchan acting like he won't get Command Grabbed....
I miss Pepeday in street fighter 4 his matches were always hype
That was Godlike
Yo why is smug in a school computer lab bruh lmao
Dude is in a legit fight lab 😂
i watched this live with my boys and we were fuckin loosing it
gotta do more of these! Maybe react to snakeyes or something next!!!
Damn bro, that Hugo swagger
Yo Smug that hoodie is dope!
Now, you have to guess ! 😂
The greatest
God damn that was sick
Do you play any Mahvel, cause you could always react to Filipino Champ vs Kaneblueriver...I don't even play MvC but that was a beauty...lol
i remember that around that time Alex streamed a LOT using Hugo.
my guess it was just... "eh" might as well play the character no one knows how to fight against
How about the SoCal Regionals Valle vs Daigo. It might seem boring to those that don't understand Street Fighter, but that would be a good reason for a breakdown. You didn't see many combos outside a hit confirm into super, mainly because they didn't give each other a chance. They kept each other out and didn't let each other in. It was Street Fighter in it's PUREST form.
Definitely do PR Balrog VS Infiltration's Hakan!
AV been playing competitively since SF2 so he nice nice.
the thing I thought of when I saw this was, do Asian players play Hugo? I figured maybe Alex was betting on the knowledge check. Him looking at his phone immediately after the match as well.
Alex is one of those legends who will do anything to impress everyone.
Just rewatched this yesterday. Top 2 sf4 sets all time for sure.
The Grid is why people have *reactions*
The way I see it, Sagat dominates short and long range, but he's got nothing for midrange, and Hugo simply outpokes him with his giant normals while staying out of punish range.
Honestly I think the only reason he picked Hugo here is because that’s the character he had been streaming a lot during that time and having tons of fun with. I mean it’s not like he was expecting to win EVO or anything.
Sometimes just playing for fun is more important than anything else!
the infiltration golf clap lol
You should check out the Evo tournaments for KoF 13🔥
well since no one else commenting on a fight to react to ,i'm gonna go ahead and say : pepeday vs poongko Canada cup 2014
Dominated with the greatest of ease
He was fishing for that since round 1. You can see him buffer at 2:53 as well.
Hi Smug, can you react to PrBalrog infiltration boxer vs hakan?
