As the two Japanese representatives, Daigo and Gachikun closed out the two-day event<\/a> with a match that pulled a strong viewership given the circumstances, reaching almost 70,000 on the CapcomFighter’s Twitch<\/a> channel.<\/p>\n A large portion of the fans wanted to see if Daigo could pull through with an injured hand, as he revealed prior to the event that an accident had left him with his left pinky broken, forcing him to use a cast while he recovers.<\/p>\n Umehara mentioned that since he uses an all-buttons fighting games controller called HitBox, jumping forward causes him some discomfort<\/a>, however, it wasn’t enough to stop him from beating Gachukin 4-1 in the best-of-seven set.<\/p>\n\n
