It's all so very confusing.
Sigh, how about no? You won't convince me and I won't convince you and the argument isn't worth the effort, I stated my opinion and I leave it stated for posterity. Kroaken posted a portion of the chart already anyway. Add spam st.mp when close enough, add a fireball in there somewhere and you should have an outline. I also literally just said it doesn't work vs people who know the game, etc.
Blah.
Moving on to Gav.
How on earth do we know that Daigo eats greasy food and even that he lives a sedentary lifestyle? That's a pretty bold statement, especially when it's common at the upper echelons of play (at least in MOBAS) for players to have and adhere to physical fitness schedules and regiments for the various benefits gained, not the least of which being that they don't look like a stuffed animal on Twitch and embarrass thier country. Obesity is way less common in Japan.
I'm not saying he's some physical fitness God who can do bust out two finger push-ups and run on water and shit but dude looks fairly trim and reasonably 'in shape' to me.. and honestly, do you know how bad your physical health has to be before it has a major effect on the ability to push the correct buttons on a joystick? Reflexes are the privilege of youth, absolutely but SFV is the least reflexive fighter Ive personally ever seen. They are damn sure important but far less core to being good at the game than a lot of other games (I'm looking at you SGs and every anime fighter ever) and besides, reflexes have little to do with playing a new character.. you mention he has 20yrs of muscle memory with Ryu but that's not true. He doesn't have an ounce more muscle memory with SFV Ryu than that incarnation has existed.
Ryu may share moves with himself, but these all happen in a new engine with new frame data and processing and timing and animations (even if they look the same, ie axekick is axekick, they are happening to a different model at a different timing) and against different timings and animations and blah blah.
I'm sorry but I just don't buy that a 35yr old is somehow too worn out and exhausted as a person on a mental and physical level to learn a new character that he's played before.
Blah.
