This Guy Is A Fighting Game Superstar

One word: “Daigo”. Daigo Umehara is one of the top Street Fighter players in the world. He’s famous for this clip — which will, no doubt, outlive us all.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); At the recent Super Street Fighter IV Fight Club Event in Los Angeles, Umehara was mobbed by fans eager to shake his hand. And sign stuff. Back in 2007, I interviewed Daigo for my book on Japanese arcades, rummy modern Arcade Mania. What impressed me rummy nabob was how dedicated he has been to the Street Fighter series — nice to see him get love from these L.A. fans.
