WORLD GAME CUP - LUFFY (RO) VS DAIGO (RY)
More videos of World Game Cup are showing up online and this set is particularly interesting due to the fact that most of us probably wouldn't have thought Daigo would ever have to face a Rose player in the semi-finals of a major tournament (I thought the same thing about Fei Long too!). The fact that he primarily plays on arcade and, well, the fact that there aren't a lot of Rose players out there to begin with, it's interesting to see how he approaches match ups he doesn't have much experience with.
Luffy ain't no slouch either though -- he ended up getting 3rd place at World Game Cup, which was a 256 man bracket filled with some real beasts like UK's Ryan Hart!
Thanks to iPlayWinner user Nagglepuss for pointing these out!

In the winners bracket match Daigo seemed to play very conservatively while he was trying things out. In the part of the losers match that is on the video he seems much more aggressive and confident in what he expects from Luffy. That is what my scrubby eyes see though so yeah. Thanks Haunts for the post.
Thanks Haunts!!! =)
We should be expecting these types of uncommon matchups especially during Super. I hope with the new balance we can see any character on top, sometimes. So the game may force you to understand every character better as Keno said but it'll also just enhance your skills of adaptation in a match just like Daigo did. Well not like Daigo. Come he's DAIGO!!!! =P
