Arcadia magazine organized a mini tournament with Japan’s top Street Fighter IV (SFIV) players and pitted them one by one against Daigo Umehara. Better known to most as the “Beast” or simple “Daigo,” he’s Capcom’s player of the decade, and few if any can survive against his flurry of combos, perfect zoning, and godlike timing.
Can anyone in Japan beat the Beast? Watch the videos below and see for yourself.

I wish I was half the player that he is. :(
Kind of ironic, losing to Sagat.. it’s too bad you don’t get to see him fight Akuma/Ken.
I suck at SF. Maybe one of those nifty tournament controllers will help my pitiful game. :p
Is everyone in Japan a video game maniac?
nooo videos dont show anymore
Daigo Umehara is one of the best street fighter players of our time, sides that, JWong! I love the matchup between dictator and ryu, that was a good match – the opponent went perfect for one of the rounds.

Daigo is insane…. he has some mad skills and timing… i still can’t forget that one match where he fully parried justin wong’s special and made one of the best comebacks in sf history ever…
