Yeah, pretty old but still timeless. I think Daigo's just baiting Justin to throw the super, which he did. That and the crowd screams really makes the thing unbelievable.

Yeah, but it isn't just anyone who can parry all the hits like Daigo did, including in the air. Top skills that he got there. Anyway, he's considered the best Street Fighter player in the world, so that's what you've to expect from him.

Daigo "The Beast" Umehara, currently reigning as the world Street Fighter IV champ and possibly the best Ryu user who ever played Street Fighter, has now teamed up with the company that provides pros and avid players with competition-level fight sticks, Mad Catz.

Ume will be representing the company in all professional gaming events around the world. Daigo has been participating in a lot of them for 15 years, but now he'll be doing so with a Mad Catz fight stick and endorsements. But apart from being the company's ambassador to the community, the renowned pro gamer will also be lending his expertise to the designers and engineers of Mad Catz to produce top tier peripherals.

Pro gamers often use their custom fight sticks in competitions, but those who don't usually have Mad Catz gear. With a pro like Daigo assisting in fight stick development, Mad Catz is eyeing a larger market for their peripherals.

To be perfectly honest Mad Catz doesn't make top tier arcade sticks, so I hope Daigo might be able to suggest stuff to them that could help with the quality of their sticks.

On the flipside, I'll bhe really sad if this affects his gameplay due to sucky hardware.
