I got daigo up there because of a combination of domination and relevance. From alpha 3 in the 90s to now he was always one of the strongest, if not the strongest competitors across a wide array of games.

I get that nikkas are always gonna elevate Daigo but the problem is y'all end up ignoring nikkas that are better than him

If we're going from SF4 to now Tokido and Momochi have been far more consistent. Daigo got washed for half of SF5 and when he did get good at the game the best he got was 9th at Evo and a CPT win

And if we're talking GOAT, especially with multi games it's getting harder and harder to ignore Go1. He one of them ones:wow: Kazunoko also an easy GOAT and nikkas don't even talk about him no more :francis:

Daigo getting so much more love than nikkas that are better than him shows how GOAT moment 37 was for marketing

Yeah G01 is an Undisputed GOAT. Son won EVO in 2 different games from 2 different publishers :wow:

Additionally x2 Guilty Gear XX Evo wins that he dominated 8-2 and 7-1 overall. When you consider the required execution in older games was higher and he was rated #1 for years where people knew him for the psychic DP’s during that time. The overall impact is why most people will consider him in the highest tiers. Then he comes on and smacks everyone the first 1.5 years of SF4 before the expansion.

sf4 takes way more skill to play then sf5&6 and the fact daigo was bussing ass in that game
he the goat sf player imo

input buffer is a complete game-changer tbh. :hubie:
I hope you realize this is an argument for SF4 being the scrubbiest:russ:

Option Select Fighter 4 has maybe the largest buffer windows of any fighting game ever:mjlol: This is why the SF4 romanticizing is hilarious because nikkas was having OS battles, buffering 4 different moves at once and playing it off as reactions:mjlol:

It’d be interesting to know the ages of the oldest players that won the headline game of each main tournament are.

That’ll provide a read on older players taking on waves of new generation players. Who were the oldest that won the whole thing?

MOBA’s and Shooter game studies have both confirmed reaction time is significantly worse as you get older. I doubt fighting games are different, and despite the copium, it matters. Older players get aged out competitively at the highest level of the newest games. Fighting games competitively have people holding on a little longer, but after 35 for the newest games the younger players who are in their primes will start washing them.
