Daigo using Ryu at Evo 2012, His book sold 28,000 copies
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/...012-willpower-keep-winning-sold-28000-copies/
Beast Note posted an article giving a detailed summary of Famitsu's two part interview with MCZ|Daigo Umehara.
This interview mainly focuses on Umehara's book Willpower to Keep Winning, which has sold over 28,000 copies and also delves into many different topics including his childhood, tournament experience, his character choice for Evo 2012 and much more.
Here is a bit from Beast Note's summary.
- On being an ideal pro gamer: In short, "have pride." Umehara said pro gamer should feel angry inside when someone said "You're weak."
- He doesn't play new games just because he's a pro. If he thinks it's not fun then he won't play.
- He thought about releasing a book before, though this's actually the right timing.
- Some stories in his book he never told anyone, even persons who are really close to him.
- There's no childhood episode at first, but it's needed to tell readers why he's obsessed about games. This unseen part of his life allows him to tell what he kept in mind. To be able to show what you want to show is what makes originality of such a book.
- The book tells the stories of people in gaming world to the society, and also tells [the gamers who received bad treatments from society] that they're not alone.
- On reactions from his family after reading his book: "So this's what Daigo really thought." Although he and his family always have conversations, they never realized the feeling toward his older sister or some of his father's actions.
- He gets along well with his older sister. He said she's not only good at studying, but also singing and drawing.
- He still insists that he goes to game center 363 days a year. He takes 2 days off at the New Year.
- They talked about how Umehara became the boss of the class when he was a kid. That time, he was a transfer student and got into a fight about soccer's rule with the class leader. Umehara beat him, although he was wrong. Umehara believed that a goal doesn't count until the ball actually hit the net, even it crossed the line. He thought so from reading Captain Tsubasa manga. (Beast Note: The characters in the manga tend to score beautiful goals.)
- He hates losing, it makes him very patient. He doesn't cry in public since he was a kid. He still remembers when he was 5 years old and had chickenpox. The treatment at the hospital hurt so much but he didn't cry.
- When he was a 5th grader, he lost 30 times in a row to an old man's Blanka. He tried to win and he spent all his money. He had to walk back home because he has no money for a bus ride.
- He discovered that playing 6 hours a day is enough for him. You need time to think, not just playing aimlessly. He used to play more than 10 hours a day in the first year of being a pro.
- After becoming a pro, he actually wrote down what he discovered, whether it's gaming related or player's habit related.
- They talked about the differences between "objective and "purpose." He said if you just want to win, you probably stop training after a tournament or underestimate an opponent since your "objective" is to win. But "purpose" will keep you playing for years.
- He does have a small objective like how to improve winning rate against a certain player.
- They talked about when he tried really hard to win 4 of Capcom's official national tournaments (individual) in a row (1998, 2000, 2000, 2002). He only finished in top 8 in the Capcom vs. SNK 2 tournament in 2002. He was so disappointed he ate nothing but udon (plain noodle), lost 5 kilograms of weight, and didn't go to the game center for half a year.
- His top 3 most nervous moments: The tournament above (2002), Evo 2006 (he didn't prepare himself), Guilty Gear team tournament in Tougeki 2004
- He doesn't get extreme nervous in a tournament like that anymore. But he still feels nervous in an interview on mainstream media, and especially in a live show.
- It's said that he's a skilled Mahjong player. But he won't go back to Mahjong world because it's hard to apply his abilities, and it'll only make a news topic.
- One time, he used to learn Mahjong by standing behind and watch a skilled Mahjong player play for 10 hours.
Part 2
- He will participate just SSF4AE2012 tournament in Evo 2012 "for now" (it means he probably play other games, too.)
- He will use Ryu in Evo 2012. He said he tried Yun and Akuma, but he finally chose Ryu.

Daigo is coming to CEO! June 15TH - 17th
Daigo Umehara to attend CEO 2012, first time on U.S. soil since EVO 2011
Tonight on Cross Counter Live, CEO|Alex Jebailey announced that MCZ|Daigo Umehara would be attending CEO 2012, June 15 - 17, 2012, in Orlando, Florida. Daigo has said he plans on using Ryu at this year's EVO, in SSF4 AE v2012, after dabbling with Yun and Akuma.
This marks the first return of The Beast to United States soil since his venture here for EVO 2011. CEO is just a few weeks away, and should be one heck of an event.
You can check out a promotional graphic after the jump.
How do you feel Daigo will do at this year's CEO SSF4 AE v2012 tournament? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.

Just finished watching Big Two. This nigga Zeus is too fucking nice. GOT DAMN. If you missed big two for AE, you should peep the archives. I usually don't care for big two cuz it's always just sanford vs die for the ten thousandth time. But tonight was really intense.
Best Vega I've ever fought, and I think he's the best one in the US. But maybe that's not that much of an accomplishment, Noels vega is ass, Tatsu's great but focusing onf sfxt lately, Jozhear who?
=g-u-u
