Daigo Umehara, known for playing Ken in Street Fighter 6, recently showcased his skills with Zangief by winning a round against a Master ranked Rashid player.

The round lasted only 11 seconds, with most of it being a cutscene of Zangief's cinematic command grab.
Professional Street Fighter player Daigo Umehara has expressed his disappointment with the new DLC character A.K.I. in Street Fighter 6, stating that she is weak and in the bottom tier. Despite finding her fun to play, Daigo believes A.K.I. is not viable compared to other characters like Ryu and Ken. He also criticizes Capcom's decision to update the game only once a year, suggesting that A.K.I. would have been buffed if she had been included in the beta.
Daigo Umehara, a renowned Street Fighter player, has expressed his belief that Ryu is not strong enough to compete in Street Fighter 6. He acknowledges that while Ryu is not weak, other characters in the game are overpowered, making Ryu's abilities insufficient.

He also discusses the importance of Okizeme in the game and how it poses a challenge for Ryu.
Daigo Umehara has been winning a lot in the Street Fighter 6 Demo and believes the game rewards offense better than Street Fighter 5.

Although he has been playing Guile in Street Fighter 5, he plans to main Ryu in Street Fighter 6 when it's officially released on June 2, 2023.
Professional Street Fighter player Daigo Umehara is unsure about maining Ryu or Guile in Street Fighter 6, stating that while Ryu feels good to play, he doesn't want to pick him just because he's Ryu. He also expressed doubts about Guile's prominence in the game, saying that if he stands out too much, it could mean he's not fun to play and could overshadow other characters. Umehara is most curious about JP, Marisa, Jamie, Lily, and even Zangief, with Jamie being the frontrunner among the newcomers. Ultimately, his main has to be both strong and fun to play.
Street Fighter pros Tokido and Daigo Umehara attempt to beat the level 8 CPUs in the Street Fighter 6 Demo with limited success.

Even legendary fighting game player Daigo Umehara can't beat the highest difficulty level of Street Fighter 6, as the game appears to be using input reading to cheat and counter his attacks. This makes the difficulty level pointless, but Capcom may still have some tuning to do. For the rest of us, it's best to dial down the difficulty level as even world champions can't beat it.
