I was gonna write something out but frankly the most upvoted comment does it justice far better than I could.
Anyone would expect the move to win the match. And as we can all see, Ken didn't just pull off the 15 consecutive ticks at the 15 right moments, he used the slight opening exposed as Chun-Li finished her move, and landed a combo on her that took away half of her life bar - and won the match. Under the high-stress world champion tournament situation. Is it surprising that he got a standing ovation and made fighting game history?
Not to mention EVO is the olympics of fighting games, and they were playing for gold.

Its a full parry, normally if you block you take chip damage, so he'd be dead in that situation since he has 1 pixel of hp left.
Meanwhile Chun Li is using the super ability which is extremely fast.
To do a full parry you have to hit a certain button and aim your stick in the exact direction that the incoming strike hits you.
Basically you have to time and hit your buttons exactly in like 20 situations then reverse the situation to come back. Extremely difficult to do, but for a pro who has done it so much, he has surely seen the situation and parried it before, fact is that was during the semifinals of the largest fighting game tournament in the world, so the setting is pretty insane.

Sorry guy, but you don't need to press any buttons to parry. All you need to do is press into the direction of the attack (i.e. forward or down).
Everything else you said is spot on. =D It was an insane moment and what got me to play 3S.

haji and I discussed this before so I'll add this as well
Justin wasn't a main 3s player, but good enough to get there. Daigo is daigo (he reads people extremely well blah blah)
Basically, round 1 of that match, daigo rapes justin round 2 justin beats daigo (daigo was playing stupid like c.mk xx shoryu regardless if c.mk was blocked or hit)
Now before the super parry at round three, you see daigo throw an ex fireball then another regular fireball. Now that's just useless really in 3s given that justin can parry all that without pressure, but for you non-3s players, parrying gives you some super meter. daigo threw those ON PURPOSE so justin would get the meter to super because he knows Justin will try to chip him out.
You can see before the super comes out daigo's ken inches forward, already expecting the super and land the parry.
Also the presence of mind by daigo to jump at the last kick and parry for a maximum damage combo based on the situation instead of just normally parrying the last kick.

How can we have a thread about Korean e-sports photos without thinking of you ? This Boxer photo is also one of my favorite, and every time I think about Boxer, I have this picture in mind. Thanks !
Thank you :D I've had kind of a crappy day, so hearing something like this really cheered me up ^_^
At first i thought it was huk looking rather aggressive, then i looked at picture 2 then i seen him. Definitely the funniest thing i've seen this month.
