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.


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!

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

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.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

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.
