I looked at the time of the video and assumed it was going to be completely one sided. But no, the rounds just ended super fast on both sides. Pretty rare to see in this game.
Zyx Whitewind Two of the highest damage output characters in the game. Matches are going to go fast. Either character can win though I think its pretty close to even.
Love how people can't just say hey it was a good game. No they have to take it as a chance to say smug is a fraud or smug is overrated when he went up against one of the best, took a game, and even got top 16 in an incredibly stacked tourney. I swear the daigo fanboys are just as butthurt as the smug ones.
Daigo fanboys are the worst. Whenever he loses, they never give his opponent credit and they always make excuse for him. It's sad. Daigo is a great player. His fans are the worst. FGC fans are hypocritical in general. Xian is hated for counter picking, but I bet Momochi won't get hate for counter picking with Elena to get past EMP Hiro.
Exactly like, I am a fan of daigo but dude, a loss is a loss, no such thing as "oh he wasn't trying, nah daigos better" like he's really good but people lose.
you can't take away that smug is a rising star and he's proving himself more and more its only right if you are a fan that you would want your favorite to win or even have lots of confidence in him
Not really, Smug's used to bullying his opponents with high priority moves and mix ups. You can see a slight tilt in his play when Daigo basically just trade hits with him all day at the start.
Lawrence Choong One thing I noticed was that Daigo was still using resources well and made good reads in the later sets. Probably picked up on a few of Smugs BnB ticks and used it against him.
Erik Osborne Calling Daigo a former Evo champion is misleading (although true). There wasn't really much international competition back then. Evo was less stacked than most majors in the past few years. You would never hear someone say Justin and Ricky are former Evo 2nd-place winners because they've accomplished so much more since then in more competitive tournaments.
***** How is it wrong? Winning this year's NCR was more difficult than winning Evo in 2009 and 2010. Top 8 at NCR was Daigo, Gamerbee, Nuckledu, Bonchan, Smug, Justin, Kazunoko, and Infiltration. Top 8 at Evo 2009 was Daigo, Justin, Ed Ma, Sanford, Shady K, PR Rog, Dan from Japan, and Ricky. Top 8 at Evo 2010 was Daigo, Ricky, Infiltration, Mike Ross, Gamerbee, Vangief, Henry Cen, and Shizza. Doesn't beating out those players at NCR hold more weight than who he beat at the first two Evos that had SF4? Those Evos didn't have a lot of world-class players. The best players in the world weren't there. It was mainly the best players in the US.
This was the best match of the entire night. I was in ECSTASY the whole time. Such hype play from both players! The fact that Smug got even 1 set off of Daigo is a testament to his growing skill as a player. Daigo is just so good though, I doubt Smug could ever beat Daigo at the level he's at now, but who knows what will happen later on! I would love to see these 2 fight again!
So many great, exciting close matches with alot of upsets mixed in too. Let's hope final 8 matches are just as awesome, but so far this is definitely the best tournament of the year bar none. =))
Smuggleton Smugglesworth vs The Beast. The Dream match happened and it was HYPE! But 3:59 I never seen that drop that before and 4:02 unfortunate but still a godlike set.
I actually think that’s what actually made smug lose that set. I was so mad when he dropped it, I knew it shattered his confidence and got too nervous.
Smug was going for too many overheads in anticipation. Daigo is unique among SF players in that he doesn't so much anticipate as he reacts. Smug came in with a plan, that much is plain to see, but I can't help but to think that he got too careful, every jab or sweep he threw out was a risk he didn't need to take. it was especially noticeable when they were just casually trading pokes that smug was trying to poke for the sake of keeping daigo on his toes, whereas daigo was poking to do damage. Gotta give smug credit though, he held his own like a beast. I'd say the daigo-smug matchup is just about even, smug might be just under him by a bit, but his knowledge of uber damage punishes and max tier pressure sets him apart from daigo, who is more about straight up punishes after opening you up once, then waiting for a mistake or using a throw to put you off your game. daigo was playing with more psychology, hence why he won. you gotta learn to overcome the player, not the character they're playing. For smug, it's mostly about dealing the damage as quick as he can, and it's not a bad strategy either, overwhelm the opponent, put em in a corner, finish em off and win, no need to out-think the player past getting two or three openings and using them.
lol this is what I'm talking about. I love the hype but this is what I say all the time about Smug is that he has to perform at the big stage. It's cool to win at Next Level all the time but he has to start showing up at these tournaments.
You mean tying for 17th place (placing Top 32) in a stacked 500+ man tournament is nothing to be impressed about? Keep in mind he tied with Sanford Kelly, Filipino Champ, Dakou, Xiaohai, Infiltration, and Itabashi Zangief. *Smug* _So in money matches off stream, I beat gamerbee 5-2, mago 5-2, Julio 5-0, imstilldadaddy 5-3, and lost to Tokido 4-5 & SS3 Bonchan 1-5_
No bob jones I didn't realize that Daigo was one of the best of all time. I know Smug has potential. I watch him all the time on Spooky's stream kagesama14 and tying for 17th is cool but all the big names have won something Un1234l I want Smug to have won something too before we anoint him
- Everyone saying Smug sucks yet he was brave enough to face daigo in his comfort zone in range. He challenged daigo constantly and that takes balls. He was nervous but he sure as hell was saying but I'm smug the beast.
WOW! That was some fast paced, blow for blow epic battle. All I heard was the sound of the characters hitting each other, that was hype as hell. Note: The people saying Smug teabaged Daigo didn't understand that he was actually doing it to confuse him ino to a low/high mix-up, which made his overhead very hard to see.
It's funny to see people shitting on smug, and shitting for smug, but in reality, Smug has a long way to go (he is one of my favorite players) he still needs experience against the pro's and legends of the fighting scene, and in reality for the experience he allready have, he did a pretty well job. It was an amazing match and that's all we need to care about.
this is a very action packed match. most fights are more slow and strategic. this was aggressor, combo, combo, stun, combo, combo round done and repeat.
Fucking awesome match i can't believe how much smug has improved they went back and forth so much. I can def see smug besting him later on he's still so young.
All this game showed is that Smug needs to work on his E. Ryu tech. It looks like he will need to start either going for DP or use the counter against those dive kicks. Also he needs to work on his defense.
lmao smug fanboys said he will destroyed daigo just because marn defeated daigo in 2012 with dudley i swear smug fanboys got be the most dillusional bunch i have ever seen.
MrFoxtrotpro lmao, dude, you resort to insults to reinforce your point, what kind of second grade tactics are those? He can win easily, they rocked each other, it was like Marvin hagler vs thomas hearns
ahah yessss , il give respect hes a strong player but nothing that his dick riding fanboys make him out to be. He went up against a god! and im still convinced dudley damage output needs to be nerfed...
tdummy1094 At this point, being younger should give you the advantage because Daigo is getting old now and his reactions and other mental capacities should be slowing down; as for Smug those capacities should be at/near their prime. So I don't buy that excuse for a minute. If you have said that Smug's career is much younger than Daigo's then I'd give you that. The difference in fighting-game-related-experience between the two is vast and can certainly influence who would win.
De DAWKness Walken "At this point, being younger should give you the advantage because Daigo is getting old now and his reactions and other mental capacities should be slowing down; as for Smug those capacities should be at/near their prime. So I don't buy that excuse for a minute." What? How does him getting older make his reaction suffer? That's like me saying that I can go take on Jackie Chan in a martial arts fight because he's old so his reactions should be shot. And since I'm young I should be able to beat him even though I've only had 4 years of experience compared to him training his whole life.
You got to give up to both players. Daigo is a legend and this the first smug fought him. Not enough study on smug's part but I still give him props for giving us a show. I'm a fan of both players so I can't choose either side. I just like the underdog to win sometimes like who doesn't right?. lol I like how that dude is calling smug a fraud. He already proved himself in battle circuits and tournaments around the country so lets just shut that down I guess he has a grudge against him whatever the case may be. Smug's only problem was he wasn't capitalizing on daigo's back stepping. Dudley can reach him with forward strong most of the time. I do it all the time, I guess he wasn't focusing on that. But shout out to the players. They did their thing.
Very strong smart play from both players. It could have went either way & both men earned each others respect. I do have to say experience did factor strongly in this set & that was in Daigo favor based off his 3rd Strike experience. Ryu's standing Mk has always been a powerful poking tool against Dudley along with his standing Fk but it's not as good in Ultra as in 3rd strike. But nevertheless E.Ryu poking ability w/ his standing Mp & Mk especially when close beats or trades well w/ Dudley. Also even though Daigo didn't through as many fireballs out in this set due to it being Smug & his Dudley, Daigo chose to slug it out against him.
I looked at the time of the video and assumed it was going to be completely one sided. But no, the rounds just ended super fast on both sides. Pretty rare to see in this game.
Zyx Whitewind Yea, I thought it was a 2-0.The Hype is real!
I expected that in a Evil Ryu Dudely match.
I honestly expected Smug to win since I've seen Dudley just blow away E. Ryu's health so many times but you can't count out the Beast.
***** ya, especially if it's PIE SMUG's DUDLEY and THE BEAST'S E RYU we're talking about.. the match will end quick for both ends
Zyx Whitewind Two of the highest damage output characters in the game. Matches are going to go fast. Either character can win though I think its pretty close to even.
2 of the most offensive players in the game and the best of old and new school. shit was so hype i was standing up after clicking on it too
Every tournament has a hype match, and this was it. Two heavy hitters going at it. Smug continues to impress. One day he'll win it big.
this aged like a fine wine
@@sorrymybadxd in a game no one cares about
@@stolensentience a lot of people care about this game
@@David-ic7gm I meant sfv (where smug will win it big one day)
LOL. DAIGO is handicapping Smug. DAIGO can Perfect KO Smug anytime but DAIGO is so humble up to this point.
Hypest match of the day! Art matches were the next hype. Art played out of his mind all day.
xOmniCloudx hell yeah Art was amazing
Love how people can't just say hey it was a good game.

"Top 32"
Daigo fanboys are the worst. Whenever he loses, they never give his opponent credit and they always make excuse for him. It's sad. Daigo is a great player. His fans are the worst. FGC fans are hypocritical in general. Xian is hated for counter picking, but I bet Momochi won't get hate for counter picking with Elena to get past EMP Hiro.
It's sad that people end up hating players not because of the player but because their fan base is so dillusional
***** good game
Exactly like, I am a fan of daigo but dude, a loss is a loss, no such thing as "oh he wasn't trying, nah daigos better" like he's really good but people lose.
Wow, that was INTENSE. Wish there were more crazy non-stop-goodness fights like this
these were the days, man... i hated playing sf4 but pro matches were so hype
I love infiltration sitting in the crowd at 3:34 grinning his ass off.
All defensive players secretly idolize offensive players
He’s always there… watching… clapping…
Two of my favorite Street Fighter players. Thank you for the upload.
you can't take away that smug is a rising star and he's proving himself more and more its only right if you are a fan that you would want your favorite to win or even have lots of confidence in him
Hell of a match! Great fighting on both sides.
Dude in red and white shirt, scratch and sniff... 3:31
lmao
Hahaha
Nigga??
Classy af
😂
Man the one time I see Daigo going blow for blow and it's with Smug good match from both players it could've gone either way.
Not really, Smug's used to bullying his opponents with high priority moves and mix ups. You can see a slight tilt in his play when Daigo basically just trade hits with him all day at the start.
Lawrence Choong it couldve gone either way.
Lawrence Choong One thing I noticed was that Daigo was still using resources well and made good reads in the later sets. Probably picked up on a few of Smugs BnB ticks and used it against him.
Jedda678 Agree they were just going for it and thats why it is so exciting to watch.
Damn, look how fast and responsive SFIV was. Here's hoping VI will be a return to that.
You're just playing sfv wrong.
Spitfire Last lmao yeah bro you just have the responsiveness turned down too low in settings
@@stolensentience yeah? If the response is the problem then why is Daigo can't win an Evo?
@@spitfirelast8761 because there r players better than him....kinda how it works
@@spitfirelast8761 because sfv not skill based, it's guess based.
Smug put up a good fight. I don't see a lot of players trying to go up against Daigo like that.
I agree smug did the best he could, especially against a former Evo champion.
Erik Osborne Calling Daigo a former Evo champion is misleading (although true). There wasn't really much international competition back then. Evo was less stacked than most majors in the past few years. You would never hear someone say Justin and Ricky are former Evo 2nd-place winners because they've accomplished so much more since then in more competitive tournaments.
JELIFISH19 There's nothing misleading about it. He's a former Evo champ. He's won the tournament, more than once. You can't mislead a fact.
JELIFISH19 This This is wrong on so many levels.
***** How is it wrong? Winning this year's NCR was more difficult than winning Evo in 2009 and 2010.
Top 8 at NCR was Daigo, Gamerbee, Nuckledu, Bonchan, Smug, Justin, Kazunoko, and Infiltration.
Top 8 at Evo 2009 was Daigo, Justin, Ed Ma, Sanford, Shady K, PR Rog, Dan from Japan, and Ricky.
Top 8 at Evo 2010 was Daigo, Ricky, Infiltration, Mike Ross, Gamerbee, Vangief, Henry Cen, and Shizza.
Doesn't beating out those players at NCR hold more weight than who he beat at the first two Evos that had SF4? Those Evos didn't have a lot of world-class players. The best players in the world weren't there. It was mainly the best players in the US.
3:17 Amazing combo
Ive never even seen that one
That was so unexpectedly hype!
Bro who the fuck actually lands that what kinda link was that shit
@@dorkasaurus_rexit’s smug
yea i played that 1 over a couple of times
This was the best match of the entire night. I was in ECSTASY the whole time. Such hype play from both players! The fact that Smug got even 1 set off of Daigo is a testament to his growing skill as a player. Daigo is just so good though, I doubt Smug could ever beat Daigo at the level he's at now, but who knows what will happen later on! I would love to see these 2 fight again!
that was an amazing set. i understand the game but LOVE watching constant pressure from both players. action, action, action
Two players that bring hype make such beautiful things happen,
The quality on this video is immaculate!
Still way More exciting to watch than SFV.
So many great, exciting close matches with alot of upsets mixed in too. Let's hope final 8 matches are just as awesome, but so far this is definitely the best tournament of the year bar none. =))

Smug's brain couldn't register that he had just defeated Daigo i would have bugged out. good for him tho that's a major accomplishment
After getting juggled 4 times in a row by Smug, I'm sure Daigo was like:
_"Is this Dudley player for real?"_
Seeing this in person was so hype, glad that final round was my first tourney.
great play by both
The Legend of Daigo: A Link to the Past. Those links at the end were ridiculous.
I'm a Dudley main and I'm happy to see other people play with him
these guys are the two best to play this game in my opinion
word
This is the most exciting set of USF4 ever played
That was better than the entirety of SFV matches combined.
I’d like to add SF6 as well
Amazing stylish combos! Pie Smug air juggling and Daigo 17 hits combo.
A decade later and Dudley jump back into full range overhead into full range sweep juggle is still crazy
MAN!! When E. Ryu gets going it looks like a combo video.
"Daigo with the counter-drop" -- James Chen, 2015
this daigo..my respect...when he wins he really wins.....perfect
Wow all the comments here are ridiculous. Can't we all just appreciate that this is a super epic match between two super epic players?
no it wont happen, this world is f*ed up, thats why there is always war
Nah! I mean they have to get personal over a game of street fighter.
Smug was going for too many overheads in anticipation.

"I'd say the daigo-smug matchup is just about even"
NutHugging at its finest.
screw everyone involved in this post, especially OP.
Critisism from players no where the level of smug shouldnt need say shit. He was outplayed
Nope, they are worlds apart. Daigo peed on him at NCR recently.
So What you say now? that was 0-6 didnt fucking win a round HOLD THAT SHIT.
The best set of SFIV history
I swear Daigo had a Triple A match but I missed the results screen but twitch chat was spamming YO AAA. I cant seem to find the match?
Why are people saying Smug was teabagging? Could he also have been pumping for a move in case Daigo did a quick wakeup?
Absolute slugfest. Best match I’ve seen in so long.
4:16 - no, i'm no going to the uppercut.
4:23 - UPPERCUT, LOL))0
So hype. Thanks for the upload!
Both players gave us a really beautiful match thanks Daigo and Smug!
Freaking awesome set. My brother and I saw this as it was happening on steam and we got so hyped!
GG to both Daigo and SMUG.
SMUG did an awesome job will look for him in EVO 2015.
lol this is what I'm talking about. I love the hype but this is what I say all the time about Smug is that he has to perform at the big stage. It's cool to win at Next Level all the time but he has to start showing up at these tournaments.
You do realize that Daigo is much much much MUCH further along in his career than Smug is right? Smug is on his way.
And smug has won a major already, which was stacked. So he has potential.
You mean tying for 17th place (placing Top 32) in a stacked 500+ man tournament is nothing to be impressed about? Keep in mind he tied with Sanford Kelly, Filipino Champ, Dakou, Xiaohai, Infiltration, and Itabashi Zangief.
*Smug*

man smug was bangin with him though i was hype AF when i seen this match
So I have not gotten or followed this game at all, is E.Ryu better than normal Ryu in this verson?
Smug keeping it classy vs Diago. This was a dream match up and smug didn't disappoint. He is a future Evo champion fo sho
I've been waiting for this two of my most favorites finally slug it out
Glad to see Infiltration enjoying our more "energetic" crowd.
Why is SF4's combo soo satisfying to watch??
It's funny to see people shitting on smug, and shitting for smug, but in reality, Smug has a long way to go (he is one of my favorite players) he still needs experience against the pro's and legends of the fighting scene, and in reality for the experience he allready have, he did a pretty well job.

Ill never understand y dudleys overhead is not -3
Fucking awesome match i can't believe how much smug has improved they went back and forth so much. I can def see smug besting him later on he's still so young.
Daigo versus who?
Both Smug and Daigo have the nickname of "The Beast" so, I knew that watching them would be like watching two beasts collide!
@3:27 lmao the contrast between the US on the left and the japanese on the right 🤣
That smug confirm from the overhead was neat!
Don't worry about that good shit SMUG! And it's an honor just to watch the BEAST (AKA the Brock Lesner of SF) play!
Dudley is so fast in this game
how was ski allowed on the mic for so long lmao
Good match I would like to see these two run a set.
So are Daigo combos inescapable?
smug just cant block no footsies either.
All this game showed is that Smug needs to work on his E. Ryu tech. It looks like he will need to start either going for DP or use the counter against those dive kicks. Also he needs to work on his defense.
Perfect way to end it, peeing on Smug. Lol. Hold that shit.
weirdo
Delicious matchups my gosh !!!
I'm feeling bad for smug. Be in finals is so stressing!
Man I miss this game and all the hype. Fuck SFV

he dropped that combo and the boping began. GG smug
Great attacking gameplay. Enjoyed every round.

ahah yessss , il give respect hes a strong player but nothing that his dick riding fanboys make him out to be. He went up against a god! and im still convinced dudley damage output needs to be nerfed...
smug is really young tho daigo is older then smug by 10+ years giv him time
tdummy1094 At this point, being younger should give you the advantage because Daigo is getting old now and his reactions and other mental capacities should be slowing down; as for Smug those capacities should be at/near their prime. So I don't buy that excuse for a minute.
