Lupe Fiasco Agrees to Battle 'Street Fighter' Champion Daigo Umehara
Lupe Fiasco loves Street Fighter. After some recent on-tour tweeting about the video game series that began in 1987, he's found himself at the highest echelon of competition. Asked on Twitter if he ever watches EVO (Evolution Championship Series, the world's biggest fighting game tournament), Lupe responded, "Only to study Daigo..."
That's Daigo "The Beast" Umehara, dubbed on the website of gaming company Mad Catz as "the most dominant fighting game champion in the world." He's so famous that people still talk about his come-from-behind victory in a 2004 tournament. The video has amassed more than 6.5 million views in various uploads.
