No, I wasn't saying to do so, it was to show which post I thought was flamebait after the topic title, not to truely ignore it. Read the rest of my post, I think I said twice that I missed it. Do I need to repeat it further?

Well, 13 consecutive parries is worth some applause, I think. Reflex wise that seems about on par with grabbing a bullet out of mid-air.

That's what the Block Training mode is for... You get to "record" a full round of movements for the COM player to execute on you. I think you have to select "Dummy Recording" or something in the menu.

Jack, that's cheating though. Ozymandias would be like using Akuma in the tourney, and to really drag this analogy into the mud, his special meter just hit level 99 from the attack damage caused in the whole New York thing.
Vargas said:
there are moves you can tell the CPU to perform repeatedly, like all three punches, all the kicks, comboes.
i fucking suck at it though, the best i ever did was parry a jumping strong kick and countered with ryu's dragon punch super and decimated my opponent. then he beat the hell out of me on the next round with hugo. he was very good with hugo, pretty much the best i saw i my campus.
what did the DC version lack anyway?

Seriously that moment is overwhelming. It's just so badass when he parrys that shit in the air to come down on her like a reign of hurt.
Parrying Chun Li's SAII entirely isn't unheard of or uncommon, and after enough training and in-game experience, SA parrying becomes second nature if you're seasoned enough (which makes JWong's decision to underestimate Daigo's ability, and fire a super he was clearly prepared for, pretty poor judgement on his part imo).Crazymoogle said:
What was impressive was Daigo's perfect execution and spectacular finish at crunch time. It's the difference between messing around after school and sinking a basket from the other side of the court at the gym, and a player on your favorite team doing the same thing at the buzzer to win Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

uh, after Justin escapes the corner, Daigo chases him down halfway across the screen chipping him still... THEN he stops, once he knows he has made Justin lose energy so he can kill in one combo...robojimbo said:
The Faceless Master said:
The way I see it, he chase him down until his life is threatenly low, he then back off and waited in hope that Justin would pull off a Super so he could make a comeback. I just think that what happened in the game just fell into places for him. There really is no way that Daigo could predict that Justin would do the super since from what I heard Justin is a turtler who could just have just chip at Daigo. Just look at the video, Daigo back off the moment his life went down to a sliver AND any hit will finish him off.
The more I think about it, the stupider I think Justin was for pulling out a super like that. Both players were standing across the screen with maybe 25% of the screen between them IIRC. Justin should've just played it safe and used his own turtling style to win, rather than foolishly pulling out a super in hopes of chipping Daigo to death (I can't blame him I guess, but these guys are super high level SF'ers, they should know better than to act out of frustration!).

Maybe he wanted a really big finish, against a really big player. He was probably counting on chip damage.
Daigo could still have parried that quick punch or kick and launched his super still, but then we wouldn't have this thread.

There's also the fact that Justin got his super bar to the first level just before Daigo backed off. I think Daigo probably noticed that and then backed off to bait the super. I don't believe for a second that he purposely let his life get down to where it was at the beginning of the video though. He made an amazing comeback, that's all there is to it IMO.
Yeah well 'really big finishes' are risky and tend to backfire. Acting ballsy isn't the way to play in high-stakes tournaments, competiting with the best on planet earth.ArcadeStickMonk said:
They traded hits right before they backed off. JWong could have closed in and threw more well-placed hit trade, and he would have won.
I think Daigo got into JWong's head or something..

It's just a game.
The "stupid" in the title was joking. Yeesh.
I didn't know anything about the game, sorry.

I've wasted about 20 minutes at work just watching this video over and over again. Amazing. That man is a god.

If you rewatch the video, up until about 20 second into the video, Daigo is definitly still going after Wong since he still had at least a medium hit left in his lifebar.
But at around the 20 second point, he trades a hit with Wong (Chun Li does a low medium kick that literally get's Ken within a pixel width of death in his healthbar), and backs off, waiting for the super to come.
I think at that point he was hoping that Wong would back off and take the "easy" way to victory by doing the finishing super, knowing that he had a good chance of doing a full parry and counter. The fact that he jumped in the air to parry the last hit to set up his own combo into the super tells me that he has done it plenty of times in the past in matches.

(for those who dont understand SF3)
Parrying is Supermove @ 1/2 tempo.
The tricky part is the gaps - that super has gaps in it which you need to stay neutral at: (each number represents a forward push on the stick, space is a neutral gap)
1234567
space
1234567
space----time used for jump

Easy way to explain is if you memorise the beat of the supermove - add "and" between each beat and space. It's hilarious the way people on this forum hate on games they havent bothered to learn.

What were they playing on ?? Is it Dreamcast or arcade version ?
Also, what stick were they using ?

XS+ said:
Um, he traded hits on the low foward, you can't 2 in 1 after that. He probably was looking for the combo but didn't get it because of the trade. The only way he could've made it harder on Daigo was to do a kikoken XX SAII so that he would have to parry both moves. Either way, Daigo probably would've gotten through it, knowing his skills.

The parry technique shown in that video is good. He's almost as good as me.

Which is a device that accept an arcade PCB and runs the output to standard AV equipment, kinda like a home console for the enitre JAMMA library.
Money was tight, so EVO was all console this year. Since the DC port of SF3rd wasn't considered arcade perfect, a super gun was used in this case to get the real game without paying for whole cabinets
