"Justin Wong is free."—Daigo Umehara
Daigo got me to actually pay for a book for once.
His words resonate at a scary level. His paralleling early life and competitive struggles mirror my own almost too well, while giving insight into some of the cultural differences between our differing countries. I can hardly believe how well it applies to both competitions and unrelated real world experiences. If "Playing to Win" by David Sirlin is the fighting gamer's "bible", then "The Will to Keep Winning" is version 2.0, as if adding a 3rd Testament.Do yourself a favor and read this book!
I can learn how to be a god at fighting games without spending $1000.
"Smash ain't a fighting game" - Daigo "The Beast" Umehara
Our Lord Savior has spoken, let his knowledge be shared for under $1000 dollars. RIP GILTY The path Umehara is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of Gilty the transexual. Blessed is Umehara, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for Umehara is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And Umehara will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger Gilty who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord Umehara when I lay my vengeance upon Gilty.
This masterpiece has inspired me to write my own book, "The Will to Keep Riding".
