Daigo Umehara as Akuma matches up against the EVO 2019 champion but wishes he was playing. F.A.N.G? Posted by Justin AdaptiveTrigger Gordon • December 19, 2020 at 4:13 p.m. PST • Comments: 2
Earlier this week, we took notice of BST|Daigo Umehara s practice session with Akuma in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition. Funnily enough, Daigo admitted that he had underestimated the Shoto. He previously thought of F.A.N.G and E. Honda as strong characters, but Daigo s newfound experience with Akuma has now challenged that notion though Daigo was likely half-joking about that.
While continuing his practice with Akuma, Daigo ended up running into an unexpected opponent. Street Fighter 5 s matchmaking had pitted him up against the EVO 2019 champion, RB|Bonchan.
