daigo = Japanese flash. He was the unbeatable foreign deity for over a decade untill just recently he started to lose every once in a while. Still very good though.



lol what?


daigo is no flash; he is by no means by far heads and above the best player in Japan at fighting games; he has dominated a few games, but there are other players like Ohnuki, Tokido, etc. who are all just as good as Daigo in other games if not better.


He"s the Flash of SF4 though.


I disagree big time.


Yeah, who wins majors and evo changes too much, everyone is very evenly skilled.

Eh...but Daigo does have a very nice EVO history. Don't know if it compares to the SC Bonjwas though

No way, the FGS is that volatile that no one knows who's going to win on what day.
Because of the high probability of getting randomed out compared to Brood War, and the lower skill ceiling, it's harder to attain dominance over a large period of time.

He's good, but comparing him to the most legendary BW progamer of all time? An insult to Flash.

Completely agree with this. I would argue that it's due to a somewhat more random nature of FGCs and not skill ceiling, though. Ehhh... ya know what I think I can't say that. I think the mechanical skill ceiling in BW IS higher than any FG, but mental games and such are where FGs really shine. Also, FUCK YES COMBOFIEND YOU SEXY FUCKIN BEAST

And yet daigo has been dominant for 7 more years than flash has. I get what your saying, but flash has a 75% win rate, not 95, he losses to ssak too.

I'll disagree with you guys i think he IS comparable to Flash, the difference is that he couldn't dominate as much because the games kept changing. Just look at his record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigo_Umehara

Daigo has been Top 8 winners bracket in a 1000+ open tournament 4 years in a row, and won two of them. Thats only looking at EVO Street Fighter 4.

Daigo is not Flash-like where he has completely had a strangehold dominance over a single game (he's always had some sort of equivalent, (notably Nuki in the old days, the whole Topanga A League contingent now) but his abundance of wins and accomplishments over multiple games since the late 90s up until now make him a Japanese fighting game legend. No one will really refer to the Japanese SF or GG scenes without mentioning Daigo's name, that's for sure. Tokido & Nuki are also within this realm, they do call themselves the Fighting Game Gods for a reason. (Jokingly though lol)

It's more or less become this way because people all around the world have gotten good enough to level the playing field. Also, I'd argue that many fighting games have players that have maintained long periods of dominance. VS games have a high random factor, but I'd say games like Street Fighter or KOF can easily be dominated by a single player for a number of years, and we've seen it.

In relation to Daigo himself, just look at what he's accomplished over the last 15 or so years.
