I like this Lupe fellow
Other than Lupe just saying he lost 0-12 to a dev when they practiced earlier?

That was so much fun to watch regardless of whether it was staged or not.

it wasn't stagedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfEVcZ3anG0
It's cool in its grammatically incorrect phrasing.
It has two meanings: 1: "[it will] never be game over." Probably what was intended
2: command form, like you're telling someone to "never be game over." Never enter that state where you give up, "Never become a person who says 'game over'."
Lots of sentences with completely fucked up grammar have become modern parlance, it's all in good fun.

So is Daigo going to soul transfer Lupe so he can gain his power?

Lupe going to win evo
No joke Folsom St. Foundry is one of the reasons I find it hard to leave the bay area. Fucking love that place.
This was hype as hell, can't wait to play V!

Should definitely listen to his first album at least (The Food & Liquor), it is my favorite rap album. The antithesis of everything i despised about hip hop growing up.

This. I keep seeing people say "staged" and it's clear they don't know that
staged = outcome is decided beforehand
staged =/= purposefully holding back/letting your opponent win to make things exciting

Lupe America's Hope for Evo, now we need JGL to come play he's a huge fan of SF along with Jamie lee Curtis.
First there was Luffy, then Lupe. What's next - LuBu?
Tomorrow "John D. Aigo" is going to collect his 500:1 bet winnings that Lupe would win.
LMAO! Spit my lemonade at this.

Absolutely. Also this event was a good reminder of how god-awful Twitch chat is.
So that was super fun to watch.
But as a complete newcomer to Street Fighter, I was watching the health bars and is Ryu traditionally that powerful? Or it's just SFV Ryu that has the insane damage. There was a 3 hit combo or something that took off ~40% of Lupe's life that popped up every now and again.

lmfao.
Oh god yes, I had forgotten for a bit there how bad it can be.
Exactly. Lupe was doing things near the end there that could not have possibly been fully predicted this early. That will win you matches especially early on in fighting games for sure.
Diego played around too much and towards the end just got hit with some things he couldn't have expected. Lupe really came to play.

For real though, that shit was lit. It was obvious they both thought it was FT5 and Daigo was messing around near the end there. It wasn't staged, it was Daigo still figuring out SFV and messing around with Lupe.
Still a good win for Lupe.
Once Daigo masters SFV, Evo is gonna be freakin' lit as fuuuuck!

I'm assuming you're referring to when he was using the super? Most character can do that much damage into a super.
i forget twitch has chat lol
Daigo was definitely having fun, but I don't think Lupe winning was a foregone conclusion. Daigo clearly went for the DP in the last match that would have won him the entire set if it connected.

Now that is an excellent adventure.
That dev was Combofiend, who would shit on a not-sandbagging Daigo right now pretty heartily.
Mike's face was priceless

That's just SFV in general. Health melts now. It's a big change from SF4.
