Haha, BRAT_OK is damn intimidating. If only he played more, and play in more tournaments, i never really see him around anymore, but still, he seems like a badass dude

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.

That is awesome. I have seen the video before too, not being a SF player, but rewatching it and understanding the context makes it so much more enjoyable. Thank you!

I remember seeing this video before, I've never been a big street fighter fan, or a console fan at all.
Would anybody be able to explain the context of it? I take it the block was hard to do?

for context, this is what chun li's special looks like if you dont parry it, it happens when you see her charge up and zooms in, she does it twice in the video

To parry an attack you must move your controller the exact moment the attack hits, which is quite hard to do but obviously not impossible

Besides the people shitting in this thread with pics that belong in the funny crapy thread.

Why don't I see any battle armor!
I can't find any games from the early 2001 and stuff when they still wore it lol.

Gah, I was SUCH a hater at Na'Vi back in January/Februray 2010 when they won the IEM World Championships holy crap lol, I said it was a fluke, they had an easy bracket, etc. etc.

Then in the following months you watch each and every tournament, see that markeloff is the greatest awper we've seen in years, that edward is completely unrivaled with the pistol, and starix is a genuine superstar.

I'm a big fan of theirs now, I'm glad they destroyed fnatics prize money record and hope they continue to succeed this year. (Especially after one of the most thrilling finishes ever in WCG World Finals when they beat MTW in that triple overtime set, omg)

hahaha I can't stop laughing when I see this for two reasons. The first is obvious, the second is how much taller Sean is than HuK.

Since you guys are talking about SF, this is what hooked me in to Marvel (yeah, many people hate it, whatever)

Don't care what you guys say, a pixel comeback in a game where 90% of the stuff done can actually do chip damage is amazing. =)

as for pics

I know it looks simple, but back when I was a newcomer to pro-BW (2007.. late I know T_T) hype pictures like these helped stir up interest at how such a community can be so awesome enough to do these things.
