Daigo is 42 years old, has not played A3 seriously since the last national tournament in 2000 (23 years ago)
Yet he looses a close set 10-7 to someone who has grinded the game ever since in a mirror?
That should not happen, that is really impressive.
Good stuff.

Edit: Random fact, D44.BAS who is commentating with Justin is the only player to ever beat Daigo Umehara in a Alpha3 tournament (national A3 team tournament in 1999) during it's competative cycle (before it became a legacy game in 1999 when 3rd Strike supplanted it)

This is so amazing, I heard Alpha 3 is daigos favorite game, love to see him play

[IKARIking]

That was insane. It does go to show you, although Igari took this set, Daigo was able to come in playing at a high level because of all of his varied experiences across fighting games, including his solid ground game! Now if his match ups were not filtered then of course it wouldn't have been so revealing of a match.

"The Road" is Ryu's best theme. Even the Game Boy Advance port had a bangin' remix.

[timeedge]

I would watch Justin Wong react to anything he likes, really. Such a lovable person

[berebeyi]

You know what's the best moment in the video? It's 13:00 where Justin says "that was OD!" with that joyous look on his face. Don't ever lose that my man!

[The_Humble_Hurricane]

25:30 this moment perfectly sums up the essence of Daigo

[HeeroExE]

This is why Alpha 3 is the greatest sf game in the series! That match up was insane!

[CosmicRPG]

A match we wanted see for a long time, Daigo in Alpha 3 against some of the best Alpha 3 JP players, in this case the actual best Ryu.

[Fishman]

The context paints Daigo as Ken between the two, in that with some short training, keeps up with the guy who trains all the time

[yastafel]

My favorite street fighter. Awesome content Justin, thanks. I'd love to see more alpha 3!

[kanstation]

I love how it was A-Ism only. The way this game should be played

[Koffsyrup]

25:30 that was the single most disrespectful thing I've seen. The man walked up on him and violated him....

[The_Humble_Hurricane]

Justin this was a treat my guy. Much appreciated 🙏🏿💯✊🏿🔥

[Choom]

WOW Justin and the boss of CvS2?! This was amazing to watch, more of these please!

[bloodeagle]

It's pure muscle memory daigos got it in his blood very impressive

[willn]

It's because of stuff like this I wish that EVO was able to extend another day or at least dedicate a whole day to classic games on the main stage.

[shingnosis]

That's one of the highest level Alpha 3 matches I've seen. Both players made some mistakes but also lots of good reactions and mix-ups.

[KnwMndFlowAndMusic]

I have never seen those air combos from recovery’s. That was god like. That was master class in some alpha 3 ryu gameplay.

[GinisisDroid]

Justin bro you should tell some back story about the other player, I know Daigo of course but the other dude who playing like God I don't know him, it would be nice to have little bit back story, and this is the best content you providing so keep up the good work
