@@99superjesus Valle's frametrap When he just stood there for Daigo's wake up was all tension. "What are you going to do!?", and he goes for a grab. Smart, but Daigo caught on.
OH MY GOD THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS Those rounds ALONE had me jumping out of my chair. I haven't even gotten past the first match but I can already tell this game was the highlight of the tournament.
Bit late to the party but things can be appreciated but also boring. Nothing wrong with boring as such, it was tense stuff. But also somewhat repetitive and boring..
just came back to watch this match again and i see my comment from 2 years ago. I think that there are "boring" parts of this match, but i think that is what makes this match so exciting. (almost) every fireball thrown has a risk associated to it. They are showing their opponent at what they are willing to bite at, and what risks they are willing to take. The "boring" parts set the stage for the big reads later in the match.
@@joqqeman i think because you might not understand what was happening in this match it goes deeper than pushing buttons and being repetitive. Like Boxing and Tennis. This match right here was high in mental games. Countering, timing, patience and adjustments all in mere seconds reading the man not the game.
I think this is probably my favourite high-level match I've ever watched for SSF4, which I find really odd as I gave up Ryu as my main because I got bored of him. But THESE guys...! Man! What an incredible match!
never saw this match. ultradavid mentioned it on the podcast SRK was bumping. never really played competitively but this is really putting alot in perspective in terms of "its not just punching, kicking and fireballs"
I just started practicing Street Fighter. After years of getting my ass kicked by my brothers and not knowing where I was going wrong, it's great to finally understand, to a certain extent, what players are doing. This is definitely the best match I've seen, and Alex Valle is my favorite. West Coast!
Daniel Masterson honestly it gets much more hate than it deserves because it’s not SF4. It’s SF5 for a reason it’s not meant to be a replica of 4, people need to move on so they can actually appreciate the game
Daigo and Valle, this was where all began. 15 years ago. 15 years later, Valle said to Daigo "you are the best Ryu in the world". from 2 young boys to 2 grown up men, i think at this point, Valle is going to fade away from tournys. cuz there is nothing for him to prove, and 1 final battle with Daigo, a perfect Ryu mirror match, and a tearful ending.
Two of the best Ryu players in the world....going at it against each other. Hell these two have been playing against each other since back in Alpha 2 days... Just goes to show you two things 1. An old dog can learn new tricks 2. Rivalries never really go away
No matter how many characters in street fighter are, the real fundamentals are shown when it comes to a Ryu VS Ryu mirror match. Both of these guys can keep fighting each other and I can watch like all day long.
Best Ryu mirror match I have ever seen. Who can hate on Daigo's and Valle's performance?! These two know how to put on a great show for the crowd. Just like watching a pro wrestling match. Or a great boxing match.
this is by far and away the best match ever recorded in street fighter!!!! freakin those footsies were insanely godlike by both players!!! Daigo= Ryu, Valle= Ryu!!!!!!
"Daigo is the best Ryu in the world at the end." I wish Fuudo's Ryu would get more recognition..he bested Daigo in the World Cup Games half a year ago. Great match, btw.
Ryu mirror I've seen apart from this one is Momochi vs Daigo back when they both played in Arcade (Vanilla) FT5. Momochi was blue ryu and Daigo in traditional colours. It is on lordaborgine's channel
I was 18 years oldwhen this happened. I'm now 30. Man how time flys
You and me both brother. You and me both.
this hits hard
I was 14 😬
Samesies
I’m 30 I wish this game had the netcode sf6 have
I keep coming back to this match to watch a great example of the footsie game. No vortex, no bullshit, rarely any frame traps, just solid footsies.
This one and the their Madcatz match -- I love watching them both over and over.
+CharmingRogue there are frame traps all the way through this lmao
bruh if you dont know frame traps you're shit

@@Y20XTongvaLandthat’s not what a frame trap is lmao
@@lilacrain3283 I didn't know what a frame trap was at that time. Either that, or it was a joke. I can't tell at this point.

this match stands the tests of time. This is how sf4 was intended

There's enough intelligence to run a government.
LMFAO
Lmfaooo
Indeed 😂😂😂😂
With Ryu, Alex Valle is like The American Daigo.
***** Nah the prior statement is truer. Daigo is the beast after all.
Valle is not as good as Daigo. He always loses to him.
noless that’s not true at all
The definition of street fighter is this match right here
Calipower Ryu vs. Umehara Ryu.
The best SFIV set ever. Thumbs if you're watching in 2016 post SFV release. The footsies handbook was written for this.
this or Daigo vs Momochi at stunfest GF2015....
Sf4 25th anniversary Daigo vs Infiltration winners finals!
This is my favorite match of all time.
Hands down the best Ryu vs Ryu match so far.
That's one of the most brilliant matches of all the fighting games history! The high level of gameplay and technique for both are still astonishing!!!
This match is so good it deserves studying!
7:43 for the best example of footsies ever.
I think this is probably my favourite high-level match I've ever watched for SSF4, which I find really odd as I gave up Ryu as my main because I got bored of him. But THESE guys...! Man! What an incredible match!
i never thought i'd ever be entertained by a ryu mirror match, and this proved me wrong
This is SF at its most pure. A beautiful display of fundamentals and risk management.
one of the best sf4 tournament vids ive seen
I still go back to this from time to time. Truly a great footsie battle
This is the match that inspired me to get better at sf. This is mastery.
2021 and this classic still so gooood
THIS is the definition of Mirror Match.
Such mastery on display here. It's really cool to see them clash against each other for so many years.
I watched this live back in the day, great match.
I wish sf5 were this exciting
one of the best matches i ever saw ,,
Still in my opinion one of the best matches of 2010, one of the truest forms of high level play between two of the best players in the SF Universe.
Still one of the greatest matches ever
Precisely my friend :)
It is november 2013 and I am coming back to say this is still one of the best footsie based matches I've seen.
It is August 2019 and I am coming back to say that I miss this game and that SFV was a mistake
never saw this match. ultradavid mentioned it on the podcast SRK was bumping. never really played competitively but this is really putting alot in perspective in terms of "its not just punching, kicking and fireballs"
man,these two fought each other since fucking 98! and it's always exciting!
Best match on SoCal, imho.
Just sick. Just mad.
Ultra, Man!
Big respect to both these legendary players. Best fight I've seen this year, this was just epic!
The best cr MK footsie match i ever saw
Ikr
It's 2023 and I'm here to watch what real footsies looks like 🔥
I just started practicing Street Fighter. After years of getting my ass kicked by my brothers and not knowing where I was going wrong, it's great to finally understand, to a certain extent, what players are doing. This is definitely the best match I've seen, and Alex Valle is my favorite. West Coast!
This the best SF4 match I've seen.
I had to watch some of this after watching Capcom Cup 2024, need a distinct taste.
I need more Valle vs Daigo Sf4 matches. They didn't compete that often. Always fun to watch them both go at it. Two amazing players.
That was the BEST ryu vs ryu match I have EVER seen props to both valle and daigo
Superb match, one of my favourite
Japanese arcade school vs American arcade school
Watching this for the even how old it is still makes me tense. Best ssf4 fight ever!!
Watching this in 2018...and it's still entertaining... Meanwhile SFV 🤦🏻
*Views from other FGC crowd. (tekken, melty blood, blazblue, marvel vs. )
"This is boring fireball game shoryuken only spam."
jesus christ this is getting old. SF 5 is fine its not the best but god damn its pretty much the only game that keeps the fgc going
@@TheCldmstrsn How can you say that when Tekken 7 is right there lmao
Daniel Masterson honestly it gets much more hate than it deserves because it’s not SF4. It’s SF5 for a reason it’s not meant to be a replica of 4, people need to move on so they can actually appreciate the game
@@TheCldmstrsn SF5 is the worst fighting game ever made.
I remember watching the stream to this and got amped when I saw that clutching.
This is some Top shelf competitive gaming.
the first was crazy come back great match
Now thats what I call Streetfighter! Great match.
ive been waiting for this match forever!
Daigo and Valle, this was where all began. 15 years ago.
15 years later, Valle said to Daigo "you are the best Ryu in the world".
from 2 young boys to 2 grown up men, i think at this point, Valle is going to fade away from tournys. cuz there is nothing for him to prove, and 1 final battle with Daigo, a perfect Ryu mirror match, and a tearful ending.
This is the best Valle, Daigo match that has ever happened.
this was one of my favorite matches of the entire tournament. SO epic :D
one of THE beast Daigo matches I've seen! mad props go to Valle for those SICK clutch moments!
"you see the relief on daigo's fac.....wait there's no emotion at all" - 6:32
I've always loved watching these guys fight it out over the years. Also, the footsies in this match are insane!
Finally Valle has learned the SF4 series with his character... he's ready to be top 3 now.
Best mirror match I've seen in months. The Ryu mirror is always interesting, especially at this level.
people should save this video like some part of the testament of fighting games
This was 9 years ago? Fuck time flies so fast they were only hitting 3rd Strike years before
This was such a competitive tournament, there were so many amazing matches and high level players. I LOVE IT.
It's been over a decade and the ex upper gets me every time
Great mirror match ! One of the best I've seen !
Two of the best Ryu players in the world....going at it against each other. Hell these two have been playing against each other since back in Alpha 2 days...
Just goes to show you two things
1. An old dog can learn new tricks
2. Rivalries never really go away
This is one of the greatest matches in street fighter history.
That 1st round takes high-end play into another universe!!! I've got goosebumps just thinking about it!
Best Ryu mirror OAT me thinks
I feel like this video is the perfect example of footsies and the fireball game ever displayed in a tournament
Fabulous play
One of my favorite SSF4 matches of all time.
this match is so godlike... the spacing the footsies, all so godlike in this match
This set is the epitome of footsies and great reactions. Love it!
Best 10 minutes of my life
No matter how many characters in street fighter are, the real fundamentals are shown when it comes to a Ryu VS Ryu mirror match. Both of these guys can keep fighting each other and I can watch like all day long.
This match represents everything I love about Street fighter. So intense.
Goosebumps everytime i watch this. Too EPIC
Best Street Fighter Match I have ever seen in my life! :D :D
Best Ryu vs. Ryu match yet!
Damn, insane match. Valle made some huge comebacks, tbh if he continues to battle him he has a good shot, very solid ryu.
That Ultra Man achievement is simply perfect :) Alex was the Ultra man in this match.
Best Ryu mirror match I have ever seen. Who can hate on Daigo's and Valle's performance?! These two know how to put on a great show for the crowd.
Just like watching a pro wrestling match. Or a great boxing match.
BEST.EXAMPLE.OF.FOOTSIES.EVAR! I love this match so much. Classic
best match in a long time
fischer vs spassky is the best description of this beautiful chess match.
fischer vs spassky set is know for the political situacion implied, not for the chess games itsefs. Great games tought.
awkward moment when you unlock an achievement during a competition
this is by far and away the best match ever recorded in street fighter!!!! freakin those footsies were insanely godlike by both players!!! Daigo= Ryu, Valle= Ryu!!!!!!
"Daigo is the best Ryu in the world at the end."
I wish Fuudo's Ryu would get more recognition..he bested Daigo in the World Cup Games half a year ago.
Great match, btw.

i randomly saw this in my suggestions box, i was like OH HELL YES! GOTTA SEE IT!
Holy shit. Mad props to Alex Valle. Insane match.
Sadly, the last great SF game we'll probably ever get. It'll never be as good as this.
second time watching it and im having the same reactions i got watching it the first time. damn.
Oh wow that last feint by daigo just won him the match, very nice!
the best footies i have ever seen are in this match
never thought a ryu mirror match can be so hype to watch
SFV will never be this hype......
why ? it's the same lol
Lmao, it's not the same at all. SFV is straight cheeks compared to SFIV.
Man, these guys are so evenly matched. If you ran this matchup 1000 times they'd probably each take half.
@lazyboyterry actually incorrect because when they first played in alpha 3 daigo played akuma and valle played ryu.
I've never felt compelled to favorite a match before, but I know I wanna watch this over and over to understand what happened.
best 2 street fighter players ever,what a match
I really don't see what was so great about this match,fireballs and sweeps. SF is checkers,Tekken is chess.
real footsies, none of that SF6 drive rush bullshit.
now this was hype.. no dick riding just watching two great ryu players duking it out, making it an epic battle!
the first round had some really impressive play by valle
