For a short moment at this year's Evo in Las Vegas, I was gifted the chance to talk to one of the names that probably defined the early years of the FGC, created its most famous moment that still gets talked about today, and is a player that holds such a high calbire that it cannot be understated how much he has helped define the legacy of not only Evo, but fighting games, as a whole, on the past couple of decades.
That player is Daigo "The Beast" Umehara, the man who gifted us Evo Moment 37, a legendary play that is still meme'd and talked about today, despite happening over 20 years ago in 2004. It's stunning to think that a player who competed over 20 years ago is still playing to this day to try to be an Evo champion, but for Daigo, it's hard for him to see himself doing anything else.
