he will get BTFO so fucking hard
Yeah, but only because SF6 is a shit game.
who? what?huh??
>>737766495QRD: pic in the OP is Daigo, THE #1 fighting game legend 10 years ago he would do showmatches against world champs and trash them every time now he got challenged by pic related, the current best fighting game player (by a mile) daigo accepted but he's washed out and in his mid 40s and about to get fucking humilitated
well yeah he's nearly 50 and a fat alcoholic fuck
>>737766796He's thin by amerimutt standards
>>737766368>guy with only three top 8 results after 50 tournaments will lose to a multi evo and capcom cup championanyone with a brain can see that coming
This is in the same caliber of cringe when Jake Paul challenged Mike Tyson. Everybody knows that prime Daigo would have wiped the floor with that fat spic.
His fault for not maining Guile or Akuma.
>>737766368Ok he's old as fuck and performs best in games with a focus on footsies and spacingGuess what SF6 doesnt have
>>737766368>e-celeb threadmight as well post asmongold, at least he is more popular
>>737766481true but at the same time SF6 is already being being played at the highest level possible, so now is not about skill or matchups anymore but pure reactions and prediction and Daigo is old.
>>737766368If Mena can't character switch DaiGOAT has a great shot at winning
>>737767008MenaRD has a way more impressive resume than Daigo in a much tougher era.
>>737766987Those tourneys are bo3 mostly and bo5 for finalsOG goats ramp during ft10
>>737767008>Everybody knows that prime Daigo would have wiped the floor with that fat spic.not really, i really hate the fat spic but he is way better than daigo was in his prime
if you don't believe in daigo, shame on you https://youtu.be/Cd0rJTC7AJk he utterly btfo's all the haters here
>>737766368I for one am actually rooting for daigo because everyone pretty much considers him the underdog going into this. Like Diago himself said in an interview his past is just that the past and he thinks Mena might be the current best player in the world so he's preparing himself for the challenge
>>737766368>I, want to taste defeat!
>fat zoomer is good at a game with a skip neutral button and barely any footsies >"he would've creamed Daigo in his prime bro"
Daigo will win and it will be the most kino thing that happened to the FGC in over a decade. I believe.
>>737767083* in a game with a far lower skill ceiling
>you dont get it little zoomie>if the game was completely different and daigo was 30 years younger he would destroy the fat fuckyeah okay
Honestly? No matter who wins, the FGC loses. This is a beyond retarded match and it never should have happened. No good will come of this. If Daigo wins then he literally has to keep doing these matches until he is dead. If Mena wins then he will get shit on from all sides for asking for this to happen in the first place.
>>737767486Whats so hard to believe about that lil zoom zoom?
>>737767475Gonna pretend you play 3rd strike?
>>737766368Don't think he'll win, but if he does he will be cemented as the true FGC god for the rest of days.
When does this showmatch happen?
Give this fat retard 3S or SSFIV and he wouldn't be winning shit.
>>737767664in 2 days
>>737766683>the current best fighting game player (by a mile) The current best Slime Fighter VI player*FTFY
just watched thisit was kinohttps://youtu.be/H0wo-dA1mas?si=mxW94TcghYPQkTPx
Daigo needs to focus on finding a wife and starting a family.
>>737768262He's done both
>>737767083The same fat fuck that used to have his buddies screaming like monkeys during matches?
>>737768423>nooo, the unlikeable fat cunt cant be good at the gamejust give up, i dont like him either but is retarded to argue that he is a bad player
>>737768571Being a good SFVI player means nothing to anyone except zoomers.
>>737766368OP he is beyond caring about that and only wants his appearance fee for playing the game.
>>737768717zoomers are 30 years old, if you're complaining about them you must be what, 50?
>>737768717He was one of the best at SFV too but I guess that doesn't count either huh?
>>737768717>thread about sf6>specifically about a match of fat vs old>the fact that he is good at sf6 doesnt mean anything
>>737768571he probably couldn't even 1v1 the best Tekken player in Tekken 5 (best of the series based purely on purity and gameplay aspects, plus roster) if both had a month to train in said game.
>>737768770Lmao SFV
>>737768886What a strange post.
why did the unc fighting game thread die, is this board really full of larpers?
>>737768916>>737768949What fighting games do you play?
>>737766368yea in SF6. He'd woop the fat black dudes ass in SF4.
>>737769036>playing fighting gameskek, lmao
>>737769040unlikely honestly, daigo has been an alcoholic for like 20 years at this point. mena has extremely good fundamentals and a really fucked up volatile playstyle, it would go like alex valle vs bonchan
>>737768950he's a street fighter autist who can't play other games cuz he sucks like most street fighter onlyists who can't see past brand recognition.
>>737767847Sweet something to watch midweek. I am a daigofag but he's honestly been washed for a decade now.
weebs get so buttmad their """japanese gods""" can't hang anymore
>>737767083The games are fucking braindead. He rules in the slot machine monkey era because he is suited to monkey brain gameplay. The higher iq and more complex the game the more east asians dominate, it's always the same pattern
>>737769294e-celebs no matter how "classic" or "important" to the genre someone is does not deserve a cult if their show of talent is only in one type of a game.
I think daigo will win this set honestly. It doesn't change the fact that it's embarrassing a Blanka player is the top sf6 player, fighting games are actually unironically shit now. Why would anyone pay attention to this genre any more
>>737769371>The higher iq and more complex the game the more east asians dominate, it's always the same patternlmaooooo settle down chang
MenaRD can't win here. There are 3 outcomes:1) MenaRD crushes Daigo and people will call him out for setting up such a lopsided stupid match until the end of his career. 2) It's an even or close match. This alone would call menaRD's dominate into qustion and be shameful for the entire modern scene. 3) Daigo wins, at which point menaRD might as well rename himself to clownRD.
>>737766683by Grimnir's beard...
>>737769129Eh the alcoholism won't help but proving who's better based off a win in SF6 doesn't mean anything. SF6 is not a serious fighting game, it's like two pro golfers determining who's better at golfing by going to a minigolf course.
>>737769406What in the ESL are you trying to say?
>>737767919Being fair: He started with Jive.
>>737769570only brownfags glaze Daigo's anus like he's a god.
>>737769560>sf6 doesnt matterare you stupid? they have a match in 2 days in sf6, thats why we are talking about sf6, doesnt matter if you dislike the game
>>737769502>2) It's an even or close match. This alone would call menaRD's dominate into qustion and be shameful for the entire modern scene.not really, mena has kind of been falling off recently. he's really good when people don't know how to deal with his fucked up play but in capcom cup he lost to a 15 year old mai player from china who basically hard read all his blanka bullshit the entire set. plus blanka just got hit by some pretty significant nerfs. i do think it would be humiliating for mena himself but it wouldn't reflect the modern community at all. I'd rather watch daigo face someone more interesting like Blaz or Leshar honestly
>>737769679hey chink, are you stooopid, suckfaggotry sexx does not matter.
>>737769745I agree with you, but let's be real, this is a far too nuanced take for the FGC at large. If Daigo wins more than 6 sets people will grill mena relentlessly.
>>737769850>nigger cant even defend his retarded pointkeep eating cow shit ranjesh
>>737769936you are talking to your superiors here not indian niggers, your ass belongs to the slave factory not on a western hate speech board that's banned in chinkland.
>>737769997>you are talking to your superiors hereamericans dont have superiors vishnu, get back to the shit field
>>737769492I'm not asian, I'm just not delusional. Where are all the third world starcraft champs.
>SF6LMAO
>>737769492mentard literally got his first evo win by abusing a birdie bug (bullhorn pushes you back on counterhit so you cant punish it) and then spent the rest of his career abusing 1% pr characters with broken mixups hoping his opponent didnt lab it
>>737769036My favorites?SSFIV3SBBGG, even strive at least before they killed neutral
>>737767083Ok I'll bite, but what exactly are the caliber of players that MenaRD has fought and beaten for you to claim that he has a better record than Daigo?As far as I know he has not fought prime players in their prime games like Alex Valle in Alpha 3 and Justin Wong in CVS2.Daigo has been in those matches as well as beaten these players whereas I've yet to see MenaRD step outside Street Fighter to Guilty gear and he dropped that game as well.
>>737770442>in Alpha 3 and Justin Wong in CVS2.Zoomers and gen alpha are incapable of playing these games well so they basically don't exist in their heads
mena is a good technical player who focuses on retarded bullshit to catch people off guard, he's good until people figure him out. if he just played a shoto or something he would be less volatile
>>737766368justin won
>>737770646Oh so he's like sonicfox
People are underestimating the depth of experience and the faustian spirit of Daigo. You don't stay on top of a competitive scene for decades for nothing. Sure, he didn't have the greatest tournament runs in the past years, but he's already proven himself countless times over, and the sponsorship money is rolling in, he doesn't *need* to win tourneys. But this is about his legacy, the match is a different beast entirely AND Daigo is confident that he will win, do you guys think he's talking out of his ass? Get real. You'll see how flustered mena becomes once the score is 3:0 for Daigo. Just wait.
>>737770729yeah, i think he's better than sonicfox though because he does it in games with much bigger playerbases and sonicfox just does his bs in nrs games mostly
This God tier match scares the zoomerhttps://youtu.be/U7_b1aMJHDA?si=knKAfd6FwTCanu6z
>>737770809mortal kombat outsells street fighter
>>737770857i'm a zoomer and i watched this match live when i was 13, how old does this make you feel
>>737769294>hop on 'cade>nothing but brazilians>not a single japthey're all busy playing gacha while huemonkeys fought in the streets
>>737770857What a fucking set bro. The spacing and control, sfv and vi could never because this isnt spectator friendly but this was SF at its prime
>>737770968I feel old regardless
>>737770857
where can i watch this ft10
>>737770857how is this game still so much more entertaining to watch than 5 and 6 despite not being nearly as flashy
>>737771018this is extremely spectator friendly, younger fg players glaze the fuck out of daigo vs jwong sf4 evo finals. you have a weird view of people.
>>737770857Can't believe we went from this to fucking SFV
>>737771205I think it's because of the fact it's not as flashy it makes it easier to more entertaining to watch. Both players and spectators have a clear understanding of spacing and punish windows. Look at any SFV or SF6 match and you'll see the players slide and teleport within neutral to aggression in a few seconds and it becomes more cluttered to see what's going on sometimes.
>>737771562>Look at any SFV or SF6 match and you'll see the players slide and teleport within neutral to aggression in a few secondsThis is really the issue here. SFV and VI let everyone skip neutral
>>737766368even so, who cares? Everyone knows SF6 has built in crutches and everybody also knows that Daigo is a fucking legend, he had his glory, nobody expects him to be #1 at this point
>>737771639the crutches benefit daigo more than mena
>>737771440I fucking love gamerbee's Adon but Daigo read him like a book here
>>737771205Because its a way better game than 5 or 6
>>737771667touche, didn't see that angle kek, but still, the dude is in fact a legend when it comes to Street Fighter and I see no reason to shittalk him, getting old fucking sucks
>>737771562I don't think it's even the clutter necessarily, it's just how fake it looks. It's not impressive because there's nothing technical about it, just press the hype skip neutral button and you win.
>>737770857There were so many good sets at that eventhttps://youtu.be/LWY_6gwZipQ?si=vBU7kKyZMqJZ07Lq
>>737766683i thought daigo was a rapist
MenaRD? More like RetaRD.
>>737771857>i thought daigo was a rapistunfortunately he is only an alcoholic
>>737770857fuck I miss SFIV so much
>>737771834>>737770857Lmao nigga this is supposed to be a fighting game not a stand back and throw fireballs and press random normals from far away game
>>737771969Still have my madcatz TE I'm never getting rid of it
>sleep fighter 4 zoomers pretending anyone actually liked their baby gameLOL
ojisan talking shit
>>7377721593rd strike is just as dope as 4, I don't see any reason to hate on any of them, what the fuck?
>>737772159I mean 3S is also dope so
>>737767919>The current best Slime Fighter VI player*exactly, he wouldn't be able to hang in the old games.
Slime rush was the worst thing to ever grace the franchise, who the fuck thought this shite was a good idea. I'm so fucking angry about it because it literally shits on the fucking fundamentals of the game, for what? To make it more accessible to fighting game rookies is my guess, fucking sad
>>737772556SFV also had skip neutral buttonsIt's so shitters can play and feel good about not losing neutral
>>737766368Doesn't matter. He will still be the legend. He will be the one to request show matches off of. Win or lose, he's still top dog.
>>737766368Daigos achieved things that fat fuck mena never will
>>737772624what a waste, I mean I'm fucking garbage at fighting games but I still had way more fun in SF4 than I did in V or 6 despite winning way more in the games, I don't understand why everything has to be dumbed down nowadays, nobody wants to put in effort to git gud
>>737772720>Daigos achieved things that fat fuck mena never willyeah, but he still gonna get washed in 2 days
>>737772328oh god don't look up their match history in 5>uh uh uh I meant sfivhe was 10 years old in the dominican republic.Entering any thread about fighting games on /v/ when you've actually been playing them and watching them competitively your whole life is a treat because it's really laid bare how confidently people on /v/ talk about stuff they know next to nothing about. diago or jwong being mentioned really pulls them out of the woodwork.
>>737766683i dont get it how can a guy who looks like this be genetically superior than everyone else in gaming?
I don't understand the FGC's mass delusion that Daigo hasn't been washed for years. He was an amazing player. He got old (and drunk). It happens to every athlete, e- or otherwise.
>>737772871I don't even know what you're trying to say retarded ESL or tiktok addled zoomer
>>737772871>watching them competitivelyLol"Dude I just watched that so hard, beat your ass with how hard I watched it!"Lmao
What's the actual time (in burger hours) of the FT10?
>>737766683Grim. Next you'll tell me Sonicfox is a top 5 player.
>>737772881Yup, it's like expecting retired athletes to still compete in the olympics, completely fucking retarded, give the man his peace
>>737772994>Sonicfox is a top 5 playerhe is during the first 3 months before anyone else figures the game, then he will quit
>>737772880>how does a fat loser look like someone who is good at gamesHe is exactly what I would picture a pro gamer to look like. That, and the hump backed skeleton archetype.
>>737772871Why does Mena being 10 in the Dominican republic matter when there was a kid by the name of Skullzer that entered in tournaments (hell he entered EVO vs Strider805 at one point) .
If Daigo wins it's going to be the best thing that happened to the FGC in a long, long time. If Daigo loses it's going to be the worst thing that happened to the FGC in a long, long time.
>>737770230This shit is so stupid. Why do people think this is a good fighting game outside of popularity.
>>737773651what if its a close like 6-4 win for mena, i think thats the best possible outcome for everything
>>737773651Daigo jobs every other week, he has nothing to lose.
>>737773801throw loops are way rarer than you'd think if you browsed this board, i've been watching tons of sf6 top 8s recently to pick up some stuff and i've seen throw loop bs like maybe 5 or 6 times across 5 tournaments
Local man willing to be publicly humiliated for beer money. More at 7
>>737773651Daigo lost to a rapper, he's a fat drunkard jobber.
>>737770857God modern fighters are such boring garbage.
>>737766368Probably, because SF6 is a shtty game that rewards retards. It's why a fucking Valorant player who's never touched a fighting game can come in and dominate. That alone shows what a joke of a game Slime Fighter Dix is.
>>737773801No one does
>>737766368Bruh he is old as FUCK. It's embarrassing to watch him honestly because people still dick riding his sorry ass
Isn't Daigo just another shitty Ken in SF6? Who does he play now?
>>737774016i swear i've seen this exact thing posted every day for like 4 months. is it a bot post?
>>737773815no. either daigo wins or the whole thing is a joke and kills the careers of everyone involved and sets the fgc back 50 years
SF6 is the worst game of all time
the one guy who everyone ignores in sfg has arrived
>>737767008>This is in the same caliber of cringe when Jake Paul challenged Mike Tyson. Everybody knows that prime Daigo would have wiped the floor with that fat spic.Honestly I think there's something a bit scummy about somebody in their prime asking an aging legend to 1v1 them out in the public for all to see. Like you can dress it up with "it would be an honor" all you like. But in the end you're basically putting the squeeze on them. You know that you have youth on your side which is a massive advantage, the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor. But if they deny your public challenge they will get accused of being washed and worse a coward. It's in bad taste imo
>>737767083Scrub Figher Dix players would get stomped in real fighting games.
>>737772556It's not just slime, it's the neutering of everything that makes fighting games fun and complex.
>>737772556I maintain that it wouldn't be so bad if they made it more expensive.
>>737766368!bet
>>737772159>turd shite larpers pretending the game isn't just pogo sticking around the screen and doing whatever you want because parry completely destroys neutralLMAO
>>737766683I feel like if Blanka wasn't so retarded in sf6 he wouldn't do all that well. That character is just silly.
>>737773651nah, whatever Daigo does in the FGC, it doesnt matter anymore. I can see in his eyes that he doesnt really dig SF6, but he cannot talk shit about it because of his history with Capcom and Street Fighter. And also because he is a jap. On the other hand, imagine the shift in the general consensus if Daigo one day decided to shittalk about SF6. Even the newfag SF pros who fellate SF6 hard for clout, will have to change their tune a little bit.If SFV's bullshit has tired Daigo, then SF6's slimey shenanigans have made him lose years from his life.In the end of the day, Daigo has cemented his face to be forever the face of Street Fighter, and he mostly hangs around for the sponsorships nowadays. If SF7 is worse than SF6, I can easily see him draw a line and retire from pro shit, and join the chill streamer career, like Justin Wong
>>737774016Who's the valorant player that is dominating?
Where was Mena's challenge when Daigo was still wrecking Evo champs in FT10 the years they won? What Daigo did to Xian in their FT10 was disgusting, 10-0'd him, the year before that he beat Infiltration after his evo win and then made Tokido cry in their FT10 after his SF5 evo win. Did Mena just wait until he finally won global Evo to challenge him but unfortunately by that time Daigo is OLD AS FUCK?
Daigo uses black magic and will not be part of FGC Phase 2
>>737766683When?
>>73777582929th, exact hour pending
>>7377758292 days from now.
>>737770857this is cringepeople only pretend to like it ironically, right?
>>737772881It's Daigo fanboys and touristsPeople in on SF6 competiton are far more realistic in their expectations
I don't follow the FGC closely anymore. Who is the top JP SF6 player at the moment?
>>737766683IRLBIGBODYMENAARE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>737771018IV was the most spectator friendly. It brought the FGC out of the dark ages and made the whole genre blow up again.We even have memes around it.Is this bait?
>>737767919He was trashing others pros in SFV, too. Him and Punk are the only two talents from SFV that really made a mark from the beginning.
>>737772159I like both
>>737766683>the current best fighting game player (by a mile)*Current best SF6 player (debatable)
Brown thread
>>737772159Just like the rest of anons here, both SFIV and 3S are top tier, but I prefer SFIV because it gives you more choices on every department, focus is a more sophisticated mechanic, and because it has smaller damage output in general, which allows for a more methodical plays and less fast ko's out of nowhere
I'm just glad there's something funny happening in the fgc world that I can look forward to.
>>737776251fuudo or momochi probably
>>737776667>it gives you more choices on every department, focus is a more sophisticated mechanic
>>737767546Honestly nah, if Daigo won it would be instant legend shit. If menardo wins by anything less than a 10-0 euthanasia no one will care though, so it's honestly pretty ballsy of him to commit to it.
>>737776792laugh all you want, but this is the objective truth and you cant refute this
>>737776907focus is literally parry for babies and sf4 is braindead vortex shit that plays itselfhmm yes today i will focus backdash and heal 60% of my hp and be unpunishable and do jab jab jab sweep WOW so skillful
>>737769745Mena sideing Luke in season 1 shows that he doesn't need to rely on a fucked up gimmick character like Blanka in order to win, if he were to commit to a normal broken-tier character like Sagat/Ed/Mai/pre-nerf Ryu he would probably have more consistant results.
The FGC is ours bros
>>737775132I really wish there was some way to help Art but unless he dedicates to rehab and therapy I think he's a lost cause. Out of everybody I've known in my life including everybody in my family and all of their friends, only one of them seems to have gotten clean and gotten their shit together from a comparable schizophrenic state.
>>737777143strive vs sf6
>>737769745Daigo/Blaz would be interesting because I don't know if Blaz has the mental to go for a FT10
>>737766683Daigo has like 20 years worth of soul reads on this guy.
Yikes this fat burrito still dominating huh. So happy I quit watching. No Punk no watch
>>737777036>Focus is parry for babiesYou dont even know what you are saying. Focus can be converted to a light attack, strong attack+combo opportunity, ex link, and lots of whiff mindgames that makes the game interesting. In retrospect, SF4 Elena is only broken in theory.3S Parry on the other hand, kills the neutral on high levels because at any time a pro can parry your shit and punish you hard with an optimal combo, and since the game has high damage output on average, you will see a KO in less than 60 secsAlso>Hmm yes lemme pick a character from half of the already small roster, because that other half is giga trash>Hmm lemme deal unblockable damage with urien's mirrors>Hmm let me be unapproachable with Chun li>Hmm I like grapplers but Im stuck with Hugo because the game has no other grappler>It doesnt matter, because in the end I will do what everyone does and pick ken to play
>>737777794>>Hmm lemme deal unblockable damage with urien's mirrorsbitching about this when sf4 had unblockables is some prime ass delusion
>>737777794why are you talking about games you are obviously terrible at
>>737777983Im only pointing out that 3S has its flaws as well. The only thing that 3S truly lacks compared to SFIV is that it has less flexibility. 3S was made mostly for shoto/rush-grabbers(like makoto) enthusiasts in mind.If you are zoner, grappler or pure charger player, then your options are from not good to pure shit>>737778176Why are you even talking about games that you havent played at all
>>737778604get on fightcade right now and i will rape you in halfbut you won't, you will dodge, just like every other bitch nigger on this worthless board spouting dogshit about games they don't play
>>737778695Of course I will dodge, I dont play with bm faggots like your stinky ass that will probably doxx me in the end

I thought I'd see a full SonicSol crash out before Art
>>737773651>If Daigo wins it's going to be the best thing that happened to the FGC in a long, long time.This will only be true if Daigo winning somehow kills Scrub Fighter 6 and everyone goes back to pre-Dix games and realizes they don't actually need to play Newest Game.
>challenging a legend past his prime in a game that heavily stacks the odds in your favor Very cool.
Super Slime Fighter does everything in its power to abstract out player skill.They should play FT20.
>>737768190>Daigo's RoadWhy is Daigo the one on a journey? He's already made it
What killed fighting games was allowing Guilty Gear/anime players out of their tranny containment zone and worse allowing them be designers on non-anime games where they add anime bullshit into games that don't need (setplay characters, installs, neutral skipping, focus on excessively large combos, overreliance on gimmicks and especially system gimmicks in general). Purge the Guilty Gear shit from the rest of the games and you've saved the genre. Guilty Gear Player should blacklist you from ever working on a game. Someone showing up looking like this >>737777143 should get you deregistered from whatever game you're there or and thrown into the Guilty Gear Zoo.
I root against MenaRD because he uses Blanka (and is fat)
>>737781298He's always the underdog when challenged to FT10. The challenger is top of their game after winning EVO and daigo labs them until he knows them like the back of his hand and then wins. But this time he is probably way too old to pull it off.
>>737781330We made SF exciting and volatile, those are good things.
I don't see what the fat retard thinks he'll be getting out of this. If he wins people will call him a faggot for setting up such an unfair match and if he loses he'll get clowned on for all eternity. It's literally lose-lose for him.
>>737769745There's no shame in losing to random 15 year olds from China they always scary
>>737781591imagine the smell of that place, i wouldn't go in if you paid me
>>737766368What went so wrong?

>>737782717Ricky wasn't a Guilty Gear player, was around forever and from what I know doesn't dress like a degenerate autistic weeaboo furry.
>foolish gaijins are blissfully unaware of 獣道
>>737781330Which all boils down to netplay killing fighting games. No Covid lockdown, no netplay tournaments taken seriously, no strive tranny epidemic.
>>737782438Damn, look at that handsome Nipponese motherfucker in his youthful prime back in 09. He probably could have easily gotten himself an e-girl harem like that Viet monkey Sykkuno did if he wasn't so autistic about fighting games. Now, Daigo just looks like your usual tired oji-san.
>>737782956Ricky played ggxx at some point
>>737766683>daigo accepted but he's washed out and in his mid 40s and about to get fucking humilitatedbut didn't Daigo get bodied by Menard many times before already? what's the point?
>>737771113holy
>>737781330GG/anime games wasn't like that until a certain point in time. You forget that Daigo played Vampire Savior and Guilty Gear back in the day. You could make the point of Xrd dumbing the game down enough for them to squeeze their way in.
Faggots, you all want to suck daigo’s cock.
>>737766683i don't play street fighter but everytime i see this guy playing blanka it's like nobody can do shit about it....
>>737783429It's hard to do shit when everything is safe or zero on block in SF6.
>>737783224What I mean is that he did not come from the world of Guilty Gear and anime fighters but was primarily a Marvel, CvS2 and SF player. Ricky behaves and presents way different than the anime/Guilty Gear trannies (and SonicFraud).
>>737783724He also grew up in a time where being a faggot would get you stomped out. And also just needing decent social skills in general to function in society
>>737783424This is focusing too much on the trannies (which are an anoyance) and not as much on the way that Guilty Gear/anime influence in actual gameplay has spread like a virus to the rest of the genre. Get rid of the GG inluence in gameplay and you get rid of the players which includes the troons while making the actual gameplay better.

https://youtu.be/H0wo-dA1mas?si=WC82JlxAy0INvJ5Y>Tl;dwSeems like Daigo excels at FT10s more than BO3's or BO5's? He may be washed up but he's got a decent chance i guess
>>737784150Daigo looks so sad. Dont end up like him you lot
>>737784150>Daigo excels at FT10sHe's like a bizarro Perfect Legend
>>737766368Mena's THE pro who's been vocal about how SF6 is completely random because even he, for all his accolades, can't perform consistently. So how can this match prove anything by his own metric?
>>737784207He always looked like that, just less fat and old.Time spares no one.
>>737782438Someone post that webm of Daigo inhaling a whole cup noodle
I don't care a lot about the FGC but I'm rooting for Daigo.
>>737784404You can look happy when you are old.

>>737784461
This match up is either going to be Daigo giving the nu-FGC a lesson in fundamentals on how to tard wrangle a gorilla or buckling under the weight of how retarded sf6 is. What Menard is doing really isn't that special.
>>737784765Is this supposed to be impressive or noteworthy?

>>737784765>that horrid look on his face while his body processes all those microplastic carbs
>>737785043isn't it a paper cup? how much plastics are in those noodles?
If fighting games suck "now", why don't you all play something else?
>>737785220Its a Styrofoam cup
>>737785257I do.
>>737785257I literally am. SFDix fucking sucks.
>>737785257They've always sucked, the only thing that made them good was the social interaction. That's been gone for 20 years
>>737785264i dont think styrofoam have those ridges at the opening of the cup
>>737784570Cultural difference.Constantly smiling like that is considered desirable in America, Daigo is a Japanese assburger and neither the Japanese nor assburgers smile like that for no reason.
>>737785257People ARE playing other things.
Alright, believers. Give me your biggest cope why you think Daigo stands a chance.
>>737786081Idgaf daigo at his peak was leagues ahead of this fat fuck spic who probably has never played footsies in his life
>>737786081He's Daigo.
>>737786081Combination of several factors:>long form match favors his style>he has far less to lose, he's already a legend and people see him as the underdog, if he loses people will blame the match/game not him>opposite for mena, if he loses or doesn't perform he will look like a fucking retard >daigo says he's confident >blanka got nerfed
>>737766368It's going to be Tyson vs that youtuber all over again.
>>737766368How will this be viewable? Guessing they're going to try to pull the pay-per-view for video games model again.
>THE DAY DAIGO BODIED YOU ON THE BIG STAGE WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU>but for him>It was Tuesday
This is so fucking gay and it pisses me off, if the fat fuck would actually want to prove himself he would let Daigo pick the game.
>>737786081he's playing against a fat retard nigger
>>737776330SFV had a decent amount of good players. Punk had to wait til SF6 to get his EVO trophy because competition was that fierce. iDom, Mister Crimson, Endingwalker, Kawano, Angrybird, Bigbird, JB, etc. That's not including old SFIV players that still regularly were able to compete too.\

>>737766683>best fighting game player (by a mile)Bait but the only reason he's pushing even harder than he was previously for this ft10 is because he's been playing worse in recent monthsFor how dominant he was around the time of last evo Vegas he played like shit at Capcom Cup and SFL finals
>>737786081https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMrc7EmhD3o
>>737774598uh? why? he did just fine with birdie
>>737766683>the current best fighting game player (by a mile)He's only good at SF6, you retarded fagg.otGO1 is by far the best current FG player. Even Xiaohai is better that Mena.
>>737786081Realistically I'd still give the edge to Mena even though I'd love to see him get humbled again (it's really funny whenever Fuudo washes him)If I had to give Daigo two reasons I reckon he has a solid chance it would be>despite complaining about a lack of long sets in tournaments, Mena hasn't had the best history in long sets recently (got beat 0-5 by endingwalker at EWC)>A lot of Mena specific Blanka shenanigans got nerfed in the latest balance patch such as less drive gauge damage from the lv2 and hop not being throw invulnerable (Akuma also ate some nerfs in that patch too though so Daigo got hit as well)Already love Daigo and think accepting the FT10 was kinda silly though I'm pretty sure he's getting decent saudibux for the event. Plus on the slim chance he actually does beat Mena it might actually buck break him
>>737766683Daigo is gonna clap this fatty, and the salty tears will fuel a generation
>the current best fighting game playerCan't even beat Xiaohai in the only tournament it matters, the one that gave 1M dollars for the first place. Now he is going to bully the elderly.Stop posting, MenuRD, don't you have a Red Bull fridge to ransack?
Daigo lost his soul when he switched to cheatbox
>>737766368He probably will, but this video made me genuinely tear up >>737767265 and it perfectly illustrates why everyone likes him. The guy is an inspiration whether he wins or loses this match.
>>737767265KINO INCOMING
>>737766368...OKSo where does SonicFox stand in the midst of all this, exactly? Is that literal faggot only good at Mortal kombat, or can he actually hang in Street fighter?
Been a while since there's been an actual rivalry match in the whole fgc. They tried to set this shit up like "mena taunted Daigo" but we all know this is a saudi scheme to just have a GOAT vs GOAT showmatch.Daigo has some sort of hope somehow because everyone knows Mena is a far higher tier of player currently he might not even bother of studying him because Mena will come to EVO japan as a 2 times defending champ and will try to keep his title. Meanwhile Daigo has no chance to win Evo japan at all if not win any tier1 event solo ever, if Daigo comes only for Mena and Mena comes only for EVO then there might be an upset.

>>737788869spot on
>>737790771Your prime is in your teens and 20's, you can still be a killer in your 30s and 40s. Dunno about 50s, let alone 60s and up.
>>737790771It's massively overstated how you will inevitably fall off after hitting 30. This basically only applies to actual athletes who break bones and ligaments and mangle themselves with brutal training. For competitive gaming? The only reason you see people quit is because they want to get real jobs and get married and do actual adult shit instead of playing video games. If it wasn't for that, you'd see professional fighting games all the way up to like 70 years old.
>>737791120>If it wasn't for that, you'd see professional fighting games all the way up to like 70 years old.We're on our way to that timeline.

>>737791248>Doesn't know humanity will stop existing as we know in a few years
>>737791120My granddad was INSANE at ping pong into his 70s. In his youth he was in the olympic team. I was play in a team myself during my teens, and I wasn't bad but he still cooked me every time. That geezer had reflexes like a cat on crack.
>>737790771Fuudo is still one of the top competitors at 40, it can definitely be done
>>737791465Fuudo is also the only one of the JP gods that had a kid
>>737791389he gets paid to show up regardless of how he does, that is basically tenure for an esports player due to his legacy
>>737791748he also married an ass model
How many times has fuudo gotten cucked?
>>737791748Kazunoko got married and has a kid.
>>737792186That guy's full of shit, Dogura is also married and many more lol

>>737770918but nobody plays that shit competitively
>>737767265/v/ will praise this then sit on /v/ all day discussing e-celebs and slog through rpgs and roguelite deckbuilders because learning and practice is scary
>>737784207>Daigo looks so sad.he works in a nursing home and said it gets him depressed.
>>737792113His wife is loaned out as a top prize at any event he attendsHe's a better man than all of us for marrying her
>>737781330installs are cool tho
>>737786081i don't like fat people
I'm not really that invested in SF6 but didn't Menard actually play DBFZ too and actually placed relatively well in major tournaments, like top 8 or so. he seems really good.that said you know, it would be a great privilege or honor to go up against the top players if you yourself are a top player.
>>737793097I don't know about MenaRD playing other games competitively. I could be wrong though, but maybe you're thinking of Punk?
>>737782956>doesn't dress like a degenerate autistic weeaboo furry.he dressed like a faggot and was a known whoreViscant did a storytime where Arturo fucked Ricky
>>737783320Tournament play rewards sorcerers who can cast a lot of spells as long as they know them. But Daigo is a wizard, he has to prepare his spells, but as long as he has time to collect scrolls and write them in his spellbook, he can adapt to and counter a sorcerer's limited repertoire.
>>737766683Why is this mexican fuck playing SF and not KoF? What a disgrace to his race.
>>737786081We've done the "Daigo's washed up and will get embarrassed by the current GOAT oh wait holy fuck he fucking stomped him" storyline at least three times already and 98% of the time he hides his power level behind a wall of liquor and apathy. The rare times he actually cares he's always dominant. OTOH the last time he actually cared was probably 2021 or so and he's fried a shitload of brain cells since then so yeah.
>>737793584>he's fried a shitload of brain cellsgood thing you can essentially win on gut feelings
>face of modern fighting games is fat mystery meatman, gay furry nigger, leffen and sand niggergrim

>>737794872Why are niggers so gay?
>>737793267Arturo has confirmed this to be true in his recent schizo posting as well
Fun fact: Over the years Evil Geniuses have fired the likes of Justin Wong, Sonicfox, and Momochi from its fighting games team but have kept Ricky Ortiz on the payroll continuously since 2010 even though they don't even have a fighting games team anymore, they don't list him on their website, and he's barely played in almost a decade.Really makes you think.
>>737793172oh shit I was thinking about Reynald.Punk was great in DBFZ too.
>>737794773GO1 is amazing
>>737766683Why are you worshipping and dick riding a fat Mexican brown mystery meat goblino you fag

>>737794773KOG talked on stream once that his lifetime losses to GO1 alone may have costed him 500k yen.
>>737796467I was going to shit on Mena even if they never fought desu.
I used to hate Mena but he won my respect by doing three wakeup supers during capcom cup grand finals.
>>737796482he's like that 24/7
anyone knows what happened to Wizard?read stories about him being a diddler but thought it was shitposting.then he got hit with the #metoo allegations and just vanished from Evo
>>737796795>guy picks the name wizard>is a diddlerFuck. he didn't deserve such a cool name.
>>737796795He never "diddled" anyone but since it was #metoo days he got run over by the twitter mob and unpersoned. Basically back in the day he and his friends were asshole bullies and picked on kids at the arcade, including throwing someone in a cold swimming pool in his underwear and baiting some autistic asian kid by telling him he had a tiny asian dick until he whipped it out in the bathroom to prove he didn't.
>>737797062wanting to look at an asian kids dick sounds diddly as fuck tho
>>737797163Once I baited someone on /b/ into blowing his dog and posting pictures but that doesn't make me a furry.
>>737797214who's gonna tell him
>>737767034Guile keeps getting buffs so I'm waiting for the shoe to drop and him to eventually switch to guile.

>>737766481He is a washed alcoholic who would get BTFO no matter what SF they played
>>737798297you're just saying that because everyone calls you one
>>737784853it is for an asian.
>>737798738if there's anything that's less noteworthy when an Asian does it it's eating noodles
Funny to me how little Mena himself actually matters in this.The entire narrative, story and weight of this is purely carried by Daigo, and Mena is just top SF dude who challenged him, like compare this to Daigo vs Tokido.
>>737785879zoomer with no idea that this kind of number is insane for a fighting gameliterally double what sf4 and 5 had daily
This would only be kind of fair if Mena would have agreed to not touch the game for at least a monthI think that by the time Mena reaches 5-0 he will feel bad and throw a couple of games as to not humiliate his hero so bad
>>737770442>>737770579even these old-school players recognize that players now are higher skilled because they have better resources to learn and practice with man. they were legends at the time but even Valle was washed by the time SF4 came around. Daigo is a great player don't get me wrong, but Mena has been VERY strong in both SFV and SF6, games were Daigo hasn't been nearly as big of a name in. Would be interesting to see two FT10s, one in SF6 and the other set in like, 3S or SF4.
>>737798996kek valle was not washed during sf4, even in ultra he ran through evo on fucking hugo of all characters and slapped bonchans shit in a fucking 2-8 matchup, shut the hell up
>>737799109>Valle wasn't washed he totally was, look at his Alpha 3 and SF2 runs compared to SF4. he was strong in SF4, but he wasn't the top dog of the western FGC like he used to be. He did better in fuckin SFxT than he did in SF4 lol
>>737798870>jerking himself off over 7kLOL
>>737799321steamcharts posting nigger with double digit iq that doesnt know what genre hes talking about, kill yourself
>>7377993217k just on PC in a game with cross platform play that has historically always been more popular on console, in a game that is 1v1. That's alot of matches happening at any given time, game is plenty healthy especially for the niche genre of fighting games
>>737799352>>737799439You started this lmao. If you want to be judged by the pathetic standards of your shit genre then stay in the basement with the five other people who care about this shit.
>>737799513it must be tough being so socially maladjusted and attention starved you need to seek negative attention from internet strangers.
>>737799568whats even sadder is that hes been doing this since the game came out
>>737799568Bro this is 4chan, fucking with losers like you is the entire reason to post here. If you want a hugbox then I think you know where to go.
>>737799513Smartest SF6hater
>>737799638if I'm the loser I cannot imagine what years of steamcharts posting makes you
Pathetic player numbers are barely even in the top 10 reasons to laugh at this game anyway.
>>737766368oh shit is that Daigo? Daigo Umehara? THE Daigo?
>>737766368Why hasn't he started a family yet?Sako, Fuudo, Dogura all got married and have kids already. What went wrong?
>>737791414Your granddad was Butterfly Joe?
>>737800218Bonchan too who is one of Daigo's best friends, he has like two or three kids. I think Daigo is just a loner and autistic.
>>737771383SFIV got me into fighting games and i pretty much quit playing them when SFV came out. for me it felt so shit to play compared to IV I just couldnt do it
>>737800475it took awhile for SFV to be decent, and even then it still had V-trigger robberies. SF6 I think is better than SFV, I just wish we'd get more substantial updates capcom is seemingly terrified of making each season very distinct from each other.
>>737800218>The goat is not getting women in the country where his game is the most popularHe could get Betty or Nynpi if he wanted to
>>737800218I swear Dogura is one of those people who have such a weird face that it comes around to being handsome
SF6 popularity single-handedly carried by Japan, thanks to vtubers
>>737801067same with Apex, same with Mahjong, same with Valorant, same with League, same with Minecraft, same with Fortnite, same with
>>737800992he has that weird old visual kei auraprobably just because of the long hair
>>737766481I'm pretty sure even MenaRD himself has been vocal about how fucking shit SF6 is, but it's his main competition game and the way he makes money so he has to force himself to play it, I guess.
>>737791120im curious if they did this graph just for gamers if it would be the same. i think training keeps you sharper. for example im 35 and my reactions arent noticeably slower than when I was 20. granted i was shit then and im shit now
>>737766683>the current best fighting game player (by a mile)Anon why would you spread lies to the uninformed Mena is good but he's top 10, not top 1
>>737767663Already is, he's just taking a drunk victory lap where he occasionally bumps into the railing
>>737801067What's stopping other countries to do this?
>>737801385no one cares about sleep fighter
>>737800462>I think Daigo is just a loner and autistic.He just has no game
>>737766683How come new players are always better? Is it because old players are deluded?
>>737801632How many people in that picture know who they're standing next to?
>>737801780who?
>>737801632>>737801813M-masaka...
>>737766683It is debatable if this fat fuck is even the best Slurm Fighter 6 playerIt is not debatable that he isn't the best fg player tho
>>737774727You guys said the same thing about SF4 and SFV...
>>737801621new players are better for the same reason every generation is smarter on average than their parents, every generation lays the ground work for the next to advance, new fighting game players are spawning in with knowledge of frame data, 20 years ago people had to learn trial and error for punishes etc.
>>737786081BEASTMODE BABY
>>737766683Can I watch that on twitch/youtube?
>>737766683is he going to wear a bomb belt just in case the worst happens after all?
>50 year old that has been playing competitively since the 90s will lose to the younger current best player in the world.Yeh no shit
>>737766368How will his apology message be?
>>737801361daigo is the god of sf, but jwong is the actual goat
>>737803179mena is definitely not the current bitw at sf, that is probably leshar
Should I get back into SF6 or should I wait for Capcom to sell their new version of SF6?
>>737803637Wait for the new version.
>>737803637its on sale right now if you really want it
>>737801385>What's stopping other countries to do this?Western vtubers are a monumental downgrade by comparison.
>>737801632I'll never forgive the FGC for what they did to him.Absolutely the worst game community after that incident and the fact that the people responsible still participate like nothing happened makes me sick. Dogshit people.
This is the first time I've ever heard of Mena.... Did he play anything other than SF6? I'd have thought SonicFox would be considered the best of the generation
>>737803990iirc mena started in sf5 and he picked birdie and abused the fact that no one knew wtf birdie did
>>737787782Jesus... He's such an ugly bastard lol.
>>737803813That's also just the streamer ecosystem in general. Like, the closest parallel thing we get for fightan is Sajam and fucking Tyler1.
>>737804231We need Speed, Kai Cenat, and Rakai on this shi
>>737804231brian f mogs
>>737804281Speed will just instantly goes to COTW.
>>737804361Is that a good thing or bad thing?
Does /v/ still play soku?
>>737803637around evo is always the best time to start as thats usually when theres a sale/new eyes on the game
>>737805053I haven't seen anyone play it in a while but you're asking that in the wrong thread.>>737763717
>>737803990SonicFox is the best
>>737803990>I'd have thought SonicFox would be considered the best of the generation>Not a single Street Fighter, SNK, Marvel, Tekken, GG EVOAre you retarded?
>>737802413No we didnt lol. Not me at least. Daigo has definitely reached retirement age, and modern fighting games prefer to reward reactions over knowledge nowadays because muh spectacle and because normies cant into theory and mental pressure
>>737787278He played the exact same, it's just that blanka gimmicks don't work when everybody studies the matchupHe was getting out neutral'd across multiple sets. Mena should be playing Strive.
>>737805460... at dodging actual competition
>>737800218Daigo played Street fighter with Ryu so much, he pretty much adapted his autistic way of living in his life. I guess some people arent cut out to be family men
>>737806096>No we didnt lol
i heard next season got leaked who's in
>>737807602Tifa supposedly
>>737766796It's a pretty dire state that the FGC's in if one of the best players is still the near-50 year old champion from decades ago.There's no new blood, and there isn't enough appeal to attract new viewers either. Fightan is dead.
>>737786081if there's anyone who can hyperfocus on prepping to beat one specific opponent it's daigo
>>737808865>Daigo>the best player
>>737803549>lesharwhat's up with him anywayone tourney he's invincible then on others he lost to random shit
>>737786081He's only training to beat MenuRD, that means that all the time spent goes into finding a gameplan to beat him especifically. I am also certain a lot of his japanese friends and reject teammates will give him tech on this matchup and make sure he's fully equiped to beat his fat ass.The only issue is how old Daigo is and how quickly Akuma lifebar disapears, there's very little room to fuck up.
>>737806096Daigo is 44 years old. According to >>737791120 this graph and for some reason assuming he's average and that playing fighting games doesn't train your reactions, that means at 44 years old his reaction time is maybe about 40ms slower than at 20. At 60fps, that means he reacts about 2-3 frames slower.He can't put the blame on his age at all.
>>737767596bruh burh ong cuhh fr
>>737766683He's not the best fighting game player, he is the best SF6 player. There is a huge, huge difference
>>737769371based
