I spin the tale the way thescore does and it almost *always* gets them hooked in, eventually watching nearly an hour of highlights, amazing comebacks, crazy tournament runs, and unbelievable domination across multiple games. It's very, very effective.

Well unlike team eSports games, where blame and glory can be shared and pined down on someone else, here, that its not possible. You(the player) are the solo response for the outcome be it a Victory or a loss, it will be all "you". It might be little over reacting, but as time goes on, sometimes a player will carry an entire nation on its backs through Top8 all the way to the top.

@Drumboardist 3 года назад

The MOST important thing to remember about Daigo vs. JWong, is that Justin had done this EXACT THING in the previous round, to close out his victory. So Daigo, KNOWING that Justin would fish for an errant action --> SA II --> clear victory......would do things that LOOKED like he might "do something", but in every instance he would *also* be tapping forward. (For the kids at home? This is how you parried. A fair amount of before/after frame data to work with, but it was PRETTY hard to reflexively *parry* things, and harder to get the timing for a red-parry, so....you pretty much had to KNOW it was happening, or was hard-coded to know when the block --> parry timing was occuring, which was SO precise that you couldn't counter-correct on Chun-Li's SA II.) So Daigo KNEW he was in the same position, and was reflexive-parrying on every "tic" that Chun-Li was offering. Eventually, Justin gambled, Daigo hit the first parry, and CONTINUED TO HIT THE RIGHT TIMING TO PARRY THE REST OF THE 15 HITS.... .....AND ALSO HIT THE BIGGEST COMBO HE COULD, WHICH -- seriously, I'unno if anyone has done the math on it or, but I'm curious -- WAS EXACTLY THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO WIN THE MATCH. (And was preeeeetty hard to do, on the fly, with charge-buffering and reflexive reactions to stuffs that was bein' thrown at you, and g'aaaaaaaaaah!)

It's even a challenge in the re-release of the game and even then it's very, very difficult to pull off. You could easily take a hundred tries to make it and I wouldn't blame you one bit. Now imagine the pressure of being declared The Beast and going up against the undisputed US player in the biggest tournament in the world and pulling that off. Still incredible.

After half an hour of trying I stopped because my fingers started to hurt and I literally never even made it to Chun Li's second rep of kicks. Shit is impossible. Made me appreciate it even more.

@yankees29 3 года назад

@mydasmurray 3 года назад

You actually need to parry slower than the strikes would usually hit (about 1/4 speed) with a slightly longer gap before the 2nd round of kicks, to be fair it is a lot easier with an arcade stick or if you 'tap' the analogue stick if you don't have an arcade stick . Parrying in this game is satisfying

Chun-Li's SA2 is actually 17 parries for the other characters, but only 15 for Ryu and Ken, because of the pushback. It goes 8-8-1 for everyone else, and 7-7-1 for the shotos. Daigo knew that. THAT'S what's really crazy to me about 37.

@Leafia_Barrett 5 лет назад

I wish the narrator had gone into a bit more detail about Evo moment 37. I've read a bit about it and it's not just that Daigo did the unreal parry it's that 1) he baited Justin into it by feeding his super meter with fireballs he could absorb 2) Justin said later that nobody even knew that was possible and had never seen anything like it. It makes the moment even more ridiculous.

At the very least Brandon, it shows why we love games. This was back in a time where so many people didn't get 'why we loved games' 'why play them so much' 'games are for kids & they are easy.' Its the community, the amazing feeling of managing to do the impossible just when you needed too, when you're on 1 hp against that final boss. It takes skill even to complete a single player game on hard, and this is the peak of brilliant skill. Moments like this are why game developers found the inspiration to make more multiplayer games which are everywhere today. They did change games as we know it, inspired many and made others respect what we do. So you know, it'd be nice if gamers at least took notice.
