One of the big stories to come out of TBS’s Street Fighter V ELEAGUE this past week was the performance of Daigo Umehara. While “The Beast” seemed to have trouble finding his groove during Street Fighter V’s early life, up until the start of season two, he seemed to have found it at ELEAGUE, having switched to Guile and putting on some amazing performances against the likes of HM|Eita and ZW|Gamerbee.
Daigo’s resurgence is the subject of this latest installment of Yahoo Esports’ Conversations and Fireballs. Here, Host Michael Martin and guest Reepal “Rip” Parbhoo discuss Daigo’s improved at the event, including his return to Guile (who he also played in Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Super Street Fighter IV).
Of course, this is just one of the topics related to ELEAGUE that they discuss. With Rip being one of the commentators at ELEAGUE, they naturally talk about the state of fighting game commentary as well. Additionally, they talk a bit about competitive Tekken since that the series that Rip is known for playing.
