Daigo has always been amazing in long sets so no real surprise that he won the tournament but what is surprising is how he never lost even a set.
Tournament just finished.

MCZ Daigo Umehara is the TOPANGA WORLD LEAGUE Champion & ends his Super Street Fighter IV: AE ver. 2012 career on top! Congratulations!
What? Did Daigo announce his retirement? If that's the case it makes me really sad:/

gotta win that flight money
Ultra
Well Ultra comes out in Japan in less than a week, and it's not like he comes over here for anything but EVO.

I think the two were at a distance where Daigo liked to throw fireballs. Bonchan took a risk by jumping thinking there would be a fireball. Daigo was patient and won the game.
Ultra lanches next Thursday
Oh ya, completely forgot that he lost to Xaio Hai today.
I wasn't just talking about in that instance, I'm referring to the set in general. At that final moment I'd think that's the last thing he'd try considering how off his jump-in reads were the entire set. I get the matchup is hard if Ryu is patient, but I don't think Bon held his ground very well.

Kind of FGC related. PAX Royal Rumble is live - http://www.twitch.tv/pax2
They don't make 'em like they used to.
Should've used the GIF of Ryu Shoryuing Sagat's chest.
Yeah, the fight scenes in that anime are some of the best to date imo.
That Fei/Ryu fight scene especially.

how did you find that so fast :'(
Such a great game, all the n64 wrestling games were incredibly fun.
Edit: Jared? How did he get in that group?
With all these great personalities playing the game, it makes things much better.

I don't think it was. Die could've reset the match a couple of times if he would've just used ultra.

Yeah, pretty much this. You probably won't see him play AE 2012 anymore once Ultra hits. The only US tourney he might attend is CEO because it has Ultra. But if that's not the case then don't plan on seeing him till EVO.
I'm really happy to see him win. I think this is his first time winning Topanga. But I'm still a little bitter he lost to Cammy, I really wanted to see him overcome that match up but it can't be helped. Xiaohai actually went 5-0 with Cammy and 0-2 with Evil Ryu. You could argue that he should have won this tournament if he had stuck with Cammy the whole way. Maybe going at least 6-1 and winning the tie breaker vs Daigo. But if he feels any regret, it's on him. He did much better this time compared to how he did at Topanga Asia.
Great tournament overall though with plenty of hype matches. That was a great way to end AE 2012 in Japan.
