He'll probably get M.O.V and produce his fight from behind him and take all the credit when M.O.V helps him beat.
Probably. People want to see some showboating. Daigo (or any pro, really) playing seriously against anyone of a casual level would just look like a guy on a training dummy
Ken in 3rd Strike, Yun in Arcade Edition....
There's a difference between being a good player, being a pro and being a legend.
I honestly never even heard of this guy before this and even if he's a solid player he's going to straight up get trashed.
That being said he's obviously doing this to promote the game and the FGC so props to him. I don't even see how he gets anything out of it.

Lupe fiasco is a rapper of moderate fame. He's also a known nerd, his debut album had a Nintendo DS it, he frequently references Street Fighter and other video games in his lyrics, and has tweeted about his game playing habits many times. Besides promotion towards a community that Lupe most likely has some level of respect for, he gets to get his own name out there and perhaps plug a project he's working on. Also it's just a cool event, even if Lu is going to get bodied.
I talked to Mike Ross last night and he said the actual fight is at a Gamestop, not Folsom St Foundry. Folsom will be a press event until 9pm where it will then open to the public, but not where the Lupe fight will be.
Coworker and I are debating going, would be pretty funny to see in person.

That's incorrect. The fight is at Folsom Street Foundry.
I don't know who to believe!
How free will this be?
how funny is it that those 3 guys in the gif are actually those on that freedom tier list when it comes to playing against Daigo in Street Fighter in 2016
Art - super free
Justin - omega free
Marn - sigma free

Obviously hip hop is not your genre because he's arguably the best lyricist of this generation.
Reggie clearly hasn't touched a Smash game before in his life.
Lupe might be an amateur, but he at least knows the basics. It's going to be free, but not Reggie free.
I suppose that he probably is getting some publicity for himself out there. I honestly never heard of the guy before and I have now so that's something.
I think he's definitely giving a lot more than he's getting back so I still want to give the guy props.
He's going to get absolutely destroyed though, no question there.

Holy shit haha. That's an amazing tweet.

But it got a lot of traction because people thought (and still think) he wrote it.

Only if they play Marvel v Capcom as their respective characters.
Maybe X-Men Mutant Academy...

I used to feel like this but then it just clicked with me and now I feel like Lasers is pretty damn underrated. Only song worth a damn on Tetsuo and Youth is 'Deliver'. Maybe one other that I can't remember the name of.
People weren't ready for that Lasers sound. You gotta be in the right frame of mind. Shit was like 4am half in a haze contemplating existence and then 'Beautiful Lasers' came on and I was feeling it.
Gah. Now I feel stupid for mixing that up.
For some reason I thought he appeared as a support character in one of the Capcom titles.
Guess I need to bust out the Saturn and brush up on those older games.
Yeah I was more joking, I found the official post with the schedule.

You mean the one that was linked in the OP?
Lupe might have a chance if he pulls out a steel chair halfway through the match.
