EVO 2009: Justin Wong [L] vs. Daigo Grand Finals SFIV FULL MATCH

13:35 WE GOT FOOTSIES 🤣

WHY AM I GETTING EXITED FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPEND 14 YEARS AGO 😩😩😩

If your wondering why Wong played Abel and hovered over M.Bison twice even though he had been a established rufus player, it was because of a series of exibitions called the daigo kumite where Daigo faced off against a bunch of top level players the only two that beat him were Shiro's Abel and Inoue's Bison. It was thought that maybe those matchups were the gaps in his matchup knowledge. Secondly at the gamestop tournament before this evo Wong's Rufus got absolutely obliterated by daigo. Some fun Lore and i believe you can watch all thise matches on youtube to this day.

Diego Umejuarez the pride of Mexico! 🇲🇽

So weird that this was 11 years ago.

Its iconic that they both play their respective nation's characters too.

From Hotel Venues to taking up Stadiums. Its incredible how EVO has evolved.

Probably THE greatest evo grand finals of all time in any game. Watching evo this weekend and stopped to watch this bc it came up in my feeds. Timeless.

Daigo really comes through when it matters.

Nothing will ever beat the early days of SF4. Best street fighter in my opinion.

i have reached the point where watching vanilla SF4 gives me a painful amount of nostalgia.

I cannot believe 15 years have passed...

Bless you! This is the best quality

I miss these uncommercialized non-esports days 🤒🥺

these guys are so quick with their reactions. it's amazing!

WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR!?!?!?!?!?

My Start into the FGC and my journey to it! I've seen this when evo was livestreaming on ustream lol

I always thought it was funny how J. Wong always played the entire roster minus Ryu and Evil Ryu, and Daigo would stuck to Ryu and Evil Ryu.

Seemed like the whole room against daigo

What's cool is that both characters represented the US and Japan the most lol
