Well, Fei isn't about using and connecting EX a lot. EX rekka is more of a frame trap or just to get in closer. Mago did more FADC's than Daigo though, lol. Hint: Yun doesn't need to FADC but his EX moves are more useful in the Fei match (ex throw, ex dragon kicks). Did Mago even connect a EX command grab? In that matchup alone, both characters rarely need to use EX meter. Yun uses it only to escape pressure or gain ground and the same for Fei. Normally Yun saves for genei-jin while Fei only uses meter for FADC combos. Those stats alone tells us how the matchup is played haha.Unfortunately, I don't track the exact move done with EX, only if it was a hit (C), blocked (B) or empty (E, no damage). If someone connects on a super, it's four EX connected (4C), and if one of the twins gets a hit after activating Seiei Enbu or Genei Jin, it's four EX connected as well. So with that in mind, let's look at the progression of the match and see how exactly Daigo did get this advantage.

Rewilson is right on. Looking at the numbers again, if you take away the three Genei-Jin supers that did damage, then Daigo only did one EX move that connected. I'm sure that Daigo was saving his EX meter for Genei-Jin, much like how a Dhalsim player saves up for Yoga Flame super.
Another note, Daigo won every round in which he had an EX connection; he was 4 for 4 in those situations.
