I remember i went from Mexico to the States to watch this match live. I didn't speak a bit of English at the time. I never thought Daigo and Valle were going to still be mention nowadays.
Duuude. I'm from Colorado. I loved the Mexico scene!! Although it seemed that people liked KOF alot better. I remember the multicart cabs at every arcade!!!
Alex Valle is, without a doubt, one of the most important dudes in FGC history. While he might not be the player that Daigo is, he is every bit as important to the culture and scene, if not MORE SO. Long live both Valle and Daigo: 2 of the absolute best!
USA-Alex Valle, Japan-Diago, UK-Ryan Hart. France- probably Bruno, HK- Terrence. Those were 90s well known guys. There were obviously lots of other top players back then but those were the well known names back then. KOF 98>>Sfa 3 😜
Haha damn. I was 11 when this went down. I was crazy into SF games and around 98 is when I got into the online stuff soon. I was just a tad too young to be up in this kind of scene though. But it is 100% familiar nonetheless. I miss arcades and gatherings like that.
Daigo looked at Alex who used X-Rolento in the final of the meeting in the United States behind. So Daigo said that there was not the element which lost. However, terribly strong V-Ryu came out in the public performance. Daigo praises Alex after the game. When even if Alex comes to Japan by the strength that is equal to oneself, Alex can become the top immediately. Daigo uses V-Ryu in the wake of this match, and Alex uses V-Akuma. I thought that this rival relations were very interesting.
Yeh they did in a way, but they have online now… I would have given anything to be able to play people overseas from the comfort of my own home… Actually scratch that- the best part was the crowd watching you play and the banter that goes with winning/losing.
@@GORO911 either way is good. Throwing some dollars at Capcom for official releases helps build fighting games. I still remember the "dark ages" of fighting games between 3rd Strike and SFIV. IIRC, the only "new" fighting game that came out during that time was Capcom Fighting Jam. 😅
@@YaowBucketHEAD "The Dark ages of fighting games" is a strictly American thing. The rest of the world didn't have such sentiments.

I was only five or four around that time, depending what month it was held in. Probably summer time, so four in half. I do remember enough of 98-99 though. Only if I was a couple years older, I feel like I should of play more games like this back then. The scene was really something, my fiancée did just go to EVO, but I didn't go, I know he wants to go to the one in Japan, and I really want to go to Japan, so I'm going to try to go with him.
No its a mechanic in alpha 3 there are 3 "isms" x, a, and v, they're using v here which gives characters properties similar to Enbu or that enbu is similar to considering this came first
This guy would have been literally the most unstoppable player in the history of Street fighter if he had more self-confidence because he's winning tournaments but you can tell by his body language that he just doesn't feel comfortable on the big stage...
Whatever happened to that announcer now? Would cool to see her at EVO as a commentator or announcer or host since she been here since the beginning with Daigo and Alex Valle!
firedemon at the time of that posting probably looks 5 years older now. LOL unbelievable that 20 years has passed, I was in high school just learning to do supers back then.

Man, international tournaments back then looked so different....almost like a Friday night arcade meetup lol
yeah wnf now is bigger than Evo back then probably ahha
You missed the days when tournaments would literally be held out of some guys' basement.
Early beginning
When it was an underground hobby.
Thats because it literally was
Lmao daigo said "well I don't think there's any possibility of me losing so..."
unique link その涼しいので
Well he was watching Valle play so he had the proverbial drop on him.
Really? Lmao
Is Daigo just being too honest? 😂
The. 90s gangster meets a nerdy japanese lol
Gangster ahahahah sure !!!! Alex valle is far from brother guy is chill as fuk
lolz at gangster
Valle is awesome. That persona is exactly why I've always seen him as one of the coolest greats. You could see why people call him an OG!

important for talking trash and getting smashed. all talk alex valle.
@@kiljaedyn? He literally created the west coast scene for the FGC
took me a while to realize Daigo was Akuma... and not Ryu... LOL
Watching this 3yrs after your comment, and I got so confused until the very end when I realized Daigo was Akuma
same
Valle's Ryu inspired Daigo to use Ryu.
Seymour Asis Daigo himself said it. Valle's Ryu motivated him to use Ryu.
Seymour Asis I mean he uses Ryu as main but yeah Ryu is basic character and everyone uses him.
Daigo is vampire confirmed.
Japanese age slow like black people.

I was 24 when this happened, and can't believe how fast 20 years have flown by. Damn
I was 0 lol
I was 14 when this happened. and can't believe how fast 20 years have flown by. Damn.
What are you up to now a days John?
I was 3 lmao
I was 12 when this happened. and can't believe how fast 20 years have flown by. Damn.
After 21 years, they are still playing against each other in evo 2019
and 21 years in a row, Daigo beats all the loudmouth, all talk no walk, beta cali players.
Will never forget that day. I was there. :D
and u did get a picture :O
Where was this tournament held?
rare footage of daigo looking mildly emotional
Goat comment
Guys if 20+ years went by this quick, the rest of our years will go by even quicker. Make each day count dude.
that was alex valle!?!? O_o lmao
RIGHT?! Dude looked so different
He aged really nicely. He looks kinda bad here tbh lol

jumpsteady1999 the good ol days
yea me too I was 11 going on 12 when this happened
and im obsessed in fighting games. And im kinda like your guys ages in 98. WOW
20 years ago and Daigo didn't seems to aged a tiny bit. Is he a vampire? lol
Asians have more collagen
15 years flew so fast...

2021 would like a word
This is really a piece of fighting games history.
Diago and Alex are like 67 years old now.
嘘つくなボケ
15 years later and they're still going at it
Legit LORE battle, in game and real life...dope!!!
1:54 this handshake from Valle was so 80's e...and they were already in late 90's!
Daigo looked at Alex who used X-Rolento in the final of the meeting in the United States behind.

Great comment thank you
For all you 90s babies this missed the arcade fgc in it's prime...You really missed out!
Yes but 00s were good
BRO I WAS THERE. THE TAIL END. I REMEMBER THE HYPE
Yeh they did in a way, but they have online now…
I would have given anything to be able to play people overseas from the comfort of my own home…
Actually scratch that- the best part was the crowd watching you play and the banter that goes with winning/losing.
My one regret in life. I only really caught on to the FGC when SF4 was out.
Alex looked salty as fuck at the end lol
Vato Valle
ah, the good ol' times before those horrible jumping infinites were discovered... How would I like a version of this game with those fixed out.
alpha 2 has ifinitys ?
Yep, to much infinitys...and nicola.sorry but they know the infinites..they just ban the infinite combos...so they play with honor.
RECHOOSENONE This is A3. And yeah with crouch cancelling there are a lot of corner infinites after the Vism combos.
its a fucking shame we dont get to see this proper. Would love to see these guys play this game again
This is literally the most 90s thing ever and I wasn't even born in the 90s
Lmao Alex Valle skinny as fuck that time
Alex Valle, orgullo de Perú 🇵🇪
damn Daigo looks almost the same today, and Alex.................... looks way way way way way younger back then.
He looks better now
I love this 90s vibe
A certified hood classic.
Gotta love VHS baby!!! lol!! This was a classic.
Damn this game looks mad fun!
best version ever. You can play it now on ps4 and xbox one

Anyone remember those days of Golfland Arcade tournaments?
Damn Valle looks like those stereotypical americans you see in animes lol wearing this t-shirt and with the coat hanging on his shoulders.
ClamperBR in the manga he smokes, and says random cliché phrases when he wins
i love this match, look the skill of both players
Is this the time I heard Valle talk about, when he was so good that he was considering quitting because no one could defeat him?
When Daigo started to lose he became unbreakable.
A trophy and a jacket its like golf and street fighter mixed and thats not bad cause the jacket is nice.
I feel that someday, the Japanese guy will create the greatest number in FG history
The quality of this video has downgraded as TH-cam tecnicals improved - sort it out, Google!
man, alex was one game away from taking it in the 2nd set
They’re so young oml
Reliquia el video 😮
Man even Alpha 3 looks way more dope than SFV
im very sad that Alex wasn't forever referred to as "Wifebeater Valle" after this match
Save it for Infiltration
@@neurotelepath why?
@@breloom8448 source?

Just another day for Daigo.
daigo has advantage because he watched Valle playing.
Alex also has advantages; he is at home and has support of the crowd. Also he was already warmed up, Daigo didn’t have any practice matches.
I wonder if James Chen or Ultra David were present.
And this kids is how EVO created.
Ryu was a really robust characters on sfa3. Compared to Akuma the damage ratio per hit was much more higher....
So Alex was just 1 round away from sweeping daigo wow
This was obviously a million years ago but man, Valle was mad salty. He did not look happy or respectful.
because he was told first to 3 not best out of 3. you'd be salty to.
Love this feud
I want to know who was the person thT Valle beat in the finals.
This guy would have been literally the most unstoppable player in the history of Street fighter if he had more self-confidence because he's winning tournaments but you can tell by his body language that he just doesn't feel comfortable on the big stage...
Oh another body language expert...
@@biohead66 you act like you don't use body language to evaluate your fellow man...
???
Valle lookin like a rad cali bro lol
Imagine traveling all the way from Japan for a first to 3 in streetfighter. Lol damn
Aw hell nah
Whatever happened to that announcer now? Would cool to see her at EVO as a commentator or announcer or host since she been here since the beginning with Daigo and Alex Valle!
She becomes cat lady after fucking so many fuckboys.
LEGENDARY

Man Alex Valle was so young then haha
Well of course he was young, this was recorded in freaking 1998.
Lol

unbelievable that 20 years has passed, I was in high school just learning to do supers back then.
Aww, it wasn't the whole footage, oh well.
shendo714 it was... last fight was cut short due to them being shitty on time
wow alex has put on a lot of weight since then
lol, isn't that opening music the same thing that plays at the beginning of Naked Gun?
alex looked so young xD
I believe it's called "cultivating mass".
Lord Daigo 👏👏
Good times....
I remember this game i use tonplay this going to work
Alex looked like a baby! Haha
I miss my wife
Vim pelo Punho de Dragão
Alex Valle kinda reminds me of Daniel san from Karate Kid
Take a shot for everytime the narrator says, "Nippon Champion~! 🇯🇵"
Haha, yeah. His vague emotion is our head exploding.
you really great daigo
Damn, gotta admit Valle looks MUCH better nowadays
that is a better way to put it.
Valle was cool as fuck at that time....
Do you guys know who beat Daigo for the first time in a tournament?
Blood in,Blood out Valle
