Welp, so much for my questioning his decision to main Yang >.<

Daigo didn't even look like he was having fun.

THE CHAMP IS BACK!!!!
This is the kind of performance that Daigo fans expected for a while. 
Gotta admit he was on point, which will make EVO interesting.
Also, good comments from Seth concerning Gamerbee and how he adapted to given situations by stepping out of his comfort zone. This is something that Smug can't do yet, since he's struggling really hard once his setups aren't working and just can't adapt.

None of the winners of this tourney have been a surprise.

Good stuff to Daigo. I really had Momochi or Bonchan winning NCR. Also congrats to Gamerbee, he's still a killer in 2015.

He rarely ever does though.

He got a decent payday. Kazunoko got his fight money stolen though

Justin Wong. That Wong factor.
Was it close? Who'd he face?
they just played a set a few weeks ago at sxsw invitational whereby gamerbee beat daigo 2-1 but that was the only match he has won in a really long time.

I thought Chris G was washed up.
ChrisG 3-0'd him in the first set but Justin ran it back 3-1 to take it.

Unless I'm wrong, this is the first Daigo US major win since that NCR where he was mainng Yun and played vanilla marvel 3 for a couple of months.

Well I guess he got dirty again.

They played the first 4 games with the wrong version of SF4 and had to replay the matches and start over with absically an hour wasted and some hype moments basically never existing anymore.
It went mostly the same but one player got destroyed in the runback.
Also cast shade on how legit the tournament really was.
norcal 2011 (4 years ago)
that was also the last time daigo won an sf4 tournament on american soil

Not enough that's for sure.
Nobody was going to stop Daigo today imo

What a great Tourney though, I watched it the entire weekend. There was a few good clutch fights, but overall I was impressed by the top level play, everyone brought their A game ( except maybe J. Wong in Ultra, he never seem to pick up any momentum.)
And it was nice to see all sorts of characters for a change, with people brining their own unique style to each character.
You know the character match ups were interesting when the crowd got excited with the sight of a rare Ryu vs Ken match

Not sure. Kazunoko has made Daigo look free the last 2 times they faced, but Daigo had a streak of beating Kazunoko before those matches. Daigo is also really strong in ft3s.
Everytime people state that Daigo sucks at short sets they need to keep in mind that he's only been underwhelming in 2/3s. At Capcom Asia Finals and Topanga League Daigo went 16-2 vs the very best players in 3/5.
