Earlier today, Seth Killian posted an entry on the Capcom Unity blog, where Daigo Umehara answered questions from the community about himself, playing in competitions and other topics. Be sure to check it out as soon as you can. It's a great read into a mind of a great competitor.
Also, Seth Killian announced that Daigo is working on a personal Web site right now - http://daigothebeast.com (awesome name, by the way).
Here's more from Seth in the opener:
Although he's considered notoriously reclusive, he's been very welcoming lately and I've been really impressed by his warm attitude towards the West. There's some really great stuff in here from one of the finest competitive Street Fighter minds on the planet, so check it out--maybe your question was one he chose to answer. Even if he didn't choose your question, the good news is that this is part 1 of several--more goodness coming soon!
One of the questions Daigo answers was why he chose Ryu for battle:
It was nearly 10 years ago when I decided to pick Ryu as my character, so to tell you the truth, I don't really remember the specific reason why I picked him (lol). But I would think the story behind him played a role in my selecting him. Rather than his storyline, I was more attracted to his wholesomeness and straightforwardness.
Go to the Capcom Unity blog for the full interview.
