With the new decade now in full effect, I thought it was fitting to put up what is THE match of 2009: Arturo Sanchez beating Daigo in a money match held during Evo weekend, July 19th, 2009.

In this match, Arturo challenges Daigo to a $100 money match, first to five wins. This was the same day as the Evo Street Fighter 4 finals, where Daigo went on to beat Justin Wong in the Grand Finals to win the whole tournament, beating out the 1,000+ other competitors.

What makes this match so special is that it’s not a tournament match so the set is longer, there are no cameras flashing, no stage, no sponsors, no multi-thousand dollar prize pot, no nothing. Just two of the best players in the world playing a set for a hundred bucks. This is what it’s all about.

For anybody whose aspiring to be the best they can be, think about this match in 2010 when you’re going up against your toughest competitor. It proves that it doesn’t matter who you’re up against, winning is never impossible and always within reach with enough patience, determination and knowledge.
