DAIGO: The STRUGGLE of legacy
Known as ‘The Beast’, Daigo is widely considered the greatest player of all time in the Street Fighter franchise. He holds the record for the most major tournaments won, and has claimed the coveted EVO crown six times across multiple titles
Daigo’s accolades are so great, his name has transcended Street Fighter to make him one of the most legendary figures in competitive gaming, an icon of excellence that players in any game can aspire to.
His success allowed him to become Japan’s first professional gamer, blazing a trail not only for fighting games, but for all aspiring players in the fledgling industry of competitive gaming.
Now 38 years old, Daigo is still raising the bar for pro gamers, proving that it’s possible to compete at the highest level well beyond the point at which many would be looking at retirement.
We followed Daigo through his campaign at the Capcom Cup, where he was faced with adapting his classic strengths to a new meta that favors different characters. The old legend still has some new tricks up his sleeve, but after more than a decade of professional play, some of his toughest challenges may yet lie ahead.
