Index of Multi-game Champs

In this post I've got notes about some of the toughest multi-game champions. Most of this information comes from the fighting game player wiki.
Also: Daigo Fanpage, SRK wiki, Savior player wiki, Arcade World

Catchphrases
Makeru youso wa nai. - "There's no way I'll lose."
Daigo said this before fighting Alex Valle at the SFA3 international championship.

Arigataya!
After Daigo hit Arturo with a crucial psychic DP during an Evo hotel match, Eita shouted this out. Then it became sort of the 2010 version of "umeshoryu." Kokujin first used the line some years earlier after a similarly clutch play. Video (6:18)

Koashi mite kara Shoryu yoyuu deshita. - "Saw the short kick and DP'ed it no problem."
Popular one-liner kidding around about Daigo's quick reactions.

7 comments:

  1. Momochi (3S, SFIV), Fuudo (SFIV, VF), GamerBee (VF, CvS2, SFIV), could all be added to the list as well as dozens of players outside of Japan/Asia.

    "Piza demo kuttekoi! - "Just go eat some Pizza!"
    Tokido taunting Kokujin at a GVision 3S ranbat. Video. Reference to some old 2ch joke maybe."

    Kokujin delivers pizza for a living. In the 3S scene there are too many running jokes with him involving pizza to list. Sometimes they overlay his name on 3S videos as 'pizza beast' or something similar.

  2. cool list, i always say to people daigo, nuki, and tokido are the three best players - but try posting that on SRK..

  3. 937 - Thanks for the Kokujin info. I never knew where all that "pizza jeppa" stuff came from heh.

    Momochi is easy I'll add him. Also Hirai should be on there. For Justin - Evo results are easy but I'm not sure if I can put together a full list of his SBO appearances. Same for Ryan Hart. I'll work on it.

    Chris - Yeah those three the toughest.
    Sako has the worst "major results" vs. "people who consider him the best" ratio.
    RF on the other hand I never see him get mentioned in 2ch Daigo thread bickering yet he seems way up there to me.

  4. OK for now added Hirai and Momochi.

    There were a couple Nuki-Kurahashi fights this week.

    GG is not an annual event, but its still a very big tournament with all the big name players, watched not only in Japan. GG 1 also had a lot of international players. i dont know if Nemo's win at GG 2.5 deserves to be put there, it was a smaller GG's event (hench the name GG 2.5) and it wasnt really full of big name players.
