It takes a considerable amount of skill to play fighters but the thing is I am not good at fighting games yet alone be able to TAS. I am somewhat comfotable iwth a controller or sticks but I cannot play with a keybard as keyboards are not the same as sticks. How do you TAS fighters?

I TAS fighting games the same way I TAS other games. With frame advance, controller/stick/keyboard skill isn't so relevant. Inputs like Hadouken motions are easily done by doing something like [down - frame advance - down-right - frame advance - right - frame advance - punch button]. Charge motions are a bit trickier to keep track of, but still nothing major. The largest hurdle for a fighting game TAS is making it look good and entertaining.

Is that so? I always thought you needed to be Daigo to play those games.

Play? Depends on your definition of play (competitive?) and on your definition of "being Daigo". For TAS, input speed/reaction isn't needed (because you use frame advance) and enemy analysis/mindgames aren't needed (because you use savestates). What bits of being Daigo would a TASer need?
