Why are you people so amazed by this stupid Street Fighter video?

No, I had watched the video... It's just that it looked like all he was doing was kneeling and blocking (I didn't pay attention to the health bars)... Now that this entire concept of parrying has been explained to me, however, I suppose I can appreciate what he does a bit more.

I don't see how it even looks close to crouch blocking anyway.

Ahh, my friend and I were playing 3s last night for PS2, Ken vs Dudley. I did crouching forward XX shippu and he somehow parried the forward and the entire super (i guess its easier to parry compared to dc because theres no input lag) and before the last hit of shippu he did an ex cross-counter and made me cry.
Then we went to save the replay and my card was full so i cried tears of anger.

How can anyone who has spent even a couple of minutes on a SF game NOT be thoroughly impressed with that vid?

lol...pretty funny "I saw a small animated gif and never saw the video of a game I don't know anything about so I can easily say it's no big deal."

Exactly.
I've played SF3 since it came out for the DC off and on, and I still can't pull off a parry 99% of the time.
Hey, I never said I was good.

I think it was 5 E3s ago when Capcom had a SF Alpha 3 competition and I watched some of the action. I had been a pretty decent SF player from SF2 to SF Alpha 2 and as I watched those guys I gained loads of respect for their play but even more for the game itself. They were playing at a level I didn't even know existed and the game supported it.

probably not many... a common byproduct of being a hardcore fighting game player is meeting "arcade ho's"...Lisa Lashes said:

Holy shit. I remember the old days when I would post at shoryuken.com...shit. He individually parried every kick with like no life remaining, then comboed her ass. Insane.

If it was Alpha 3 he could have just air blocked or something else retarded.

I can't wait to play this on the Xbox.
The reason I never got really into this game was because of the damned DC controller.
I even dislike PS2's D-pad, because doing a shoryuken takes so much more effort than it should.
But I played Capcom vs SNK 2 EO for GC (didn't used to have an xbox) with the HORI SNES controller with the phat d-pad and I loved to practice parry on A-groove, so precise and everything. But I guess you get used to the DC pad, I never got it though.
The other reason is, I just CANNOT play the arcade version. I have such a hard time with the joystick it's not even funny.
But I'll be happy with Xbox's S-type controller (although I would prefer playing with the Hori pads).
Is anyone else here really good at the console version but sucks major with the arcade stick? It's often the case with my DC-owning friends.
Also, I saw this other super kickass 3rd Strike movie. It was Dudley vs Necro, I dont know who the players were, but Dudley left himself get a beating at the beginning. Then, (alot like this movie) when he only had a sliver left, Necro used his Electric Super Combo which is like 5 hits per second, almost humanly impossible to press the forward button that fast in order to parry. But he parried the whole thing, then let loose a long string of normal+combo moves which necro could not recover from the whole time. He then ended with a 3rd level Screw attack. At that point necro only had a sliver of health left as he hit the ground and as he was getting up, Dudley backed off a bit and did his taunt where he throws a rose in a looping arch towards the opponament. The rose takes very very little health (it is a taunt after all), but it was enough to finish off Necro in what has to be the most impressive KO I've ever seen.
It was like the best movie ever, so much style and grace. And the way Dudley finished him off was so embarassing and cool. Especially considering Dudley as a pompous character.
I'm going to try to majorily hone my skills when the Xbox version releases.

Well, the rose was what killed him, not any following hits.
Lyte Edge said:PS2 version for now, and Xbox also whenever it is released. The PS2 port (and the Xbox port, I'm sure) is closer to the arcade version, looks better, and has a few extra options. Time to retire the DC.
I have not played Street Fighter since the PSX days, so I looked up all street fighter games on the PS2 to order whichever has the highest rating... The only one I found was this one that got a rating of 5.0: Link
Am I missing something? There must be some kick-ass Street Fighter 2d action on the PS2..

Only decent street fighter game right now on PS2 is Capcom VS SNK 2. Other than that you'll have to wait for Street Fighter Anniversary which includes SF2 games and SF3:3rd strike.

Clearly, you haven't played games on/near a College CampusLisa Lashes said:
If you are implying he lost the energy on purpose, I hope you are joking. Why the fuck would anyone want to have to work that hard and risk so much just to look flashy? If Diago could have kept J.Wong in that corner the entire time, he would have done so. J.Wong escapes the corner mixup and beings to zone, attempts to bait Diago into attacking, goes for the super and get's shown up. That's all there is to it. I'm sure Diago was expecting the super (as he should have been considering the risk), but there is no way he planned on ending it like that. The "random attacks" are J.Wong zoning Diago. Thanks to Chun Li's ridiculous priority, anything he would have thrown at that point had a good chance of at least trading hits, resulting in a loss for Diago.The Faceless Master said:
The most impressive part of the video is not that he parries the super (though you have to see J.Wong's reaction as soon as he start the sequence! Mashing will not save you!), it's that he comes back with the combo at the end and wins the round. Notice the increased intensity of people yelling when he starts the combo. The fact that he HAD to parry the super and it was the FINALS adds to it. That was just too perfect.

Is it wrong that I cry every time I watch that video?

What I want to know is, why do people feel the need to answer a question that has already been answered, exactly the same as the original answer. That's even more lame as someone mistunderstanding a game and asking a question.
What's even worse is so many people felt the need to make fun of him, before someone bothered to explain to him why people are impressed with the video.

Where do you see this? All I see is him not understanding what's so impressive about it. I don't see him inciting flames until later on after people have already laughed at him.

Haha, I don't see how I overlooked the thread title, my mistake.
But I don't think that comment was where the flames should have started, if we ignore the topic title. I was talking about the post in which after being explained to he asks the question again about people making a big fuss over it.
Touche anyways, I still can't belive I missed that.
