Around 2014, an amusing clip of an inebriated Daigo Umehara surfaced where he was asked what he thought of Justin Wong. “Justin Wong is free!” exclaimed Daigo in the clip.
Within the fighting game community, to say that someone is “free” is to say that they’re easy to beat in a fighting game. Justin Wong is certainly no slouch when it comes to fighting games, but it’s amusing to hear this from Daigo considering how Evo Moment 37 played out.
Over on Twitter, Justin Wong recently uploaded a clip of him interacting with Daigo Umehara, who appears to be sober this time. It seems that Justin Wong had an important question for Daigo.
“Daigo, is Justin Wong free?” asked Justin Wong. “Yes,” responded Daigo in English and without any hesitation. He didn’t even have to think about it.
Following this, Justin Wong panned the camera back to his face to emphasize his disappointment. It seems that some things never change.
