A character being rewarded for solid play shouldn't be considered absurd given the amount of bullshit in SF4. The idea that he plays the same regardless of matchup is laughable, just watch him vs Sako/Bon-chan/Uryo and how differently he plays each. Sagat specifically he plays almost identically to Ryu except now he does more damage. He bullies the poo poo out of Bonchan and did the exact same thing as Ryu. It's because he's loving Daigo.

Evil Ryu is good but he's not unfair or "unsolvable." Did I think he needed to be buffed in Ultra? No. Honestly I think he was better and much more bullshit in 2012 solely because of the lack of delayed wakeup and how badly he beat characters like Cammy and Seth with inescapable unblockable loops. Nobody really complained about him in that version though!

Bon-chan plays that matchup appropriately wild and Daigo runs away, I don't know why you'd compare it to their 2012 matches. Ryu bullies Sagat by worming his way in and needling Sagat to death, Evil Ryu bullies Sagat by existing at half-screen and building/having meter. You can see how the onus is on Bon-chan to close the gap with tiger knee, jumping, dashing in, f.LK, whatever because he can't compete at the tip of cr.MK range and he can't afford to let Daigo chill out and build meter. Any time Daigo's up near Bon-chan and Sagat isn't flat on his back watch how fast Daigo backpedals too, Ryu would never back up after getting in.

I'd be a moron if I claimed Daigo plays the same in every matchup which is why I didn't. I singled out Bon-chan because it's one of the most egregious examples of how Evil cr.MK and the reward he gets off of it can screw over a character. Citing Sako/Uryo as counterexamples supports my point if anything, is it a coincidence that they both pulled out their vortex subs after their mains lost to Daigo's Evil in the online league?

No matter what I agree with you that Evil was stronger in 2012 and wins by playing solid in Ultra though! I don't mean to take anything away from Daigo or his Evil Ryu, that dude wins because he's the best. Having one of the strongest characters is icing.

Fuerte is the embodiment of SF4, "Street Fighter" is an entirely different game but that tweet is funny coming from noted Cammy player James Chen.

That's not fair to Chen, he's been playing Cammy since ST was young. Character loyalty is different from picking top tier or vortex on purpose.

imo its a lot more important to pick a character for their butt instead of their gameplay
