Lupe Fiasco will be playing Daigo Umehara in Street Fighter

[God Confirm]

Over the past couple of days there has been some fighting game talk on Lupe's twitter, I saw him taking some shots at MvC and Tekken mechanics, after this he was asked on twitter if he watches EVO, to which he responded "Only to study Daigo"

Someone from Madcatz set something up with Lupe, and now he is gearing up to play against Daigo in a Street Fighter Exhibition

I don't follow Twitter that heavy so if I missed any relevant tweets feel free to let me know and I'll edit em in

Should be good, how well is Lupe's Super Lupe Raps gonna hold up in battle against Daigo "the Beast" Umehara? Can Lupe put Daigo on game? I don't know if Lupe's footsies have gotten rusty since he put down the skateboard but this should be fun to watch regardless, and at the end of the day it's great publicity for our scene as a whole, whether you play SF or not!

Lupe Fiasco is lucky.

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

Guaranteed to be a body. But will definitely be entertaining.

One of my top 5 rappers vs one of my top 5 fighting game players. Wow look what we have come to, its beautiful

He did say word for word


"Let the training begin. #LupeVsDaigo @MarkMan23"


The guy he tagged being a madcatz official



So seems extremely promising if not technically "confirmed". Could possibly fall through tho just like anything else of course, only time will tell.

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

Regardless Lupe seems very interested in SFV and the FGC as a whole. Which is fucking awesome

 

[skater11]

That's awesome.

 

[Rip Torn]

Lupe vs. Sledgren in MKX.

Make it happen.

Would be awesome if it happened at Combo Breaker, probably the most likely event. Obviously would be free but would bring a ton of publicity to the event.

[Afk Skinny]

Oh I want this to happen, thats actually pretty cool. Maybe someone can hit up Wu-Tang and get some team matches going

 

[marietta1200]

Why does Lupe always deliver his sh*t like he's about to ask me for money?

90s hip-hop fans want to know.

...But yeah this is cool still.
