[Daigo] I Got Punched in the Face Repeatedly in the Arcade…. / “Words to Young Players”
Daigo is a man
I really respect this man, he’s full of wise and valuable mindset. He inspires me.
“This guy could have a weapon and would potentially kill me if I fought back. Clearly, that was an excuse and not a reasonable thought to have.”
I swear to god, if the entirety of the FGC didn’t live with their mothers to keep them from drinking everything under the kitchen sink, we’d have a significant step towards solving overpopulation.
Moral of the story: punch fighting game players to keep them in check. God knows the Smash community needs a few fisticuffs.
Reminds me of that one guy in Hi Score Girl who always loses and fights with the winner
hell yeah whole video is the content on the title and no netplay vod 🙂
20 year old man punching up a 13 year old cuz he lost def is mental illness.
And this is how Daigo became evil Ryu
I never imagined this stuff happened in Japan.
Poor Daigo.
Something similar happened to my friend while he was playing Mortal Kombat at a school mates house a while back (this was probably 20 years ago). I wasn’t there but he told me the story of how he beat this kid so bad at the game that the guy pinched my friends neck and told him to get out of his house. Talk about sore losers.
Satsui no hado Daigo: 4:30 Go home and be a family man.
Power of nothingness Daigo: 5:34 Nooooooooooooooooo!
Lost 0-2 in my first ssb tournament. (1-2 and 0-2) I feel like I had pretty similar feelings to Daigo. But one thing was different, I never went back since. If it wasn’t for this video, I probably wouldn’t have ever gone back. I felt bad because this was really the only thing I’ve really tried at and I wasn’t good enough anyways. In hindsight, this response didn’t even make sense. But that’s in the past. I’m gonna keep trying. I’m never gonna get better unless I do.
I feel like I really needed this. If not to become a professional gamer, then to gain insight on this mentality and how I can avoid it in the future.
Sucks since it sounds like no one helped him
Young players don’t have to worry about fighting in arcades for turtling, picking top tiers or “grabbing too much”. I even remember getting punched by an adult when I smoked him in initial D version 2 lol. Fighting over cvs2, people raging over mvc2. Despite being treated like shit for being the 13 year old kid that ran shit, I never stopped beasting at that arcade and I think people respected me for that by the end, because I still showed up damn near every day. I get what Daigo is saying. You just gotta love playing. I miss arcades 😢
Daigo is truly a beast
Probably explains his calm demeanor
Fighting games are brutal. You may not go through Daigo’s experience exactly – but you will get punched emotionally, again, and again – until you either quit or continue. Putting a quarter in is easy – pushing yourself to continue, despite losing so much – well, like Daigo said, is it really something that you love doing?
Back in the day we didn’t have rage quits, only rage.
and people wonder why arcades are dead
The american version of this story would be. “I went home mad that i couldnt do anything, so i went and got my dads firearm from the place he thought it was hidden. Sadly im now telling this story from prison, as a what not to do when your emotions get to you. I have a meeting with a group of teenagers in the Scared Straight program in an hour.”
